If you wanted to know all about the prep for Will Tennyson’s bodybuilding show, especially the training and workouts that he did, then you’ve come to the right place. In this video, Jesse and I are going to take a look at the Will Tennyson’s workouts leading up to his bodybuilding show and break down what we see and give insights where we can. Just like I’ve done for every other celebrity workout review that I have done in the past, I am going to remain respectful and provide an unbiased review of Will Tennyson’s workout.

When it comes to Will Tennyson’s bodybuilding preparation, he starts by stepping on the scale and mentions that he has lost around 30 pounds in his pursuit of getting lean enough to be bodybuilding contest ready. I want to make note that people shouldn’t allow their day to be determined by the number they see on the scale. This is because weight can fluctuate greatly due to many factors including whether or not you’ve eaten, how hydrated you are, and even what time of day you are weighing yourself. Whether the number is higher or lower than you are expecting, it shouldn’t determine your mood because there are still changes you can continue to make to get yourself to where you want.
Will then goes over his morning routine before the gym where he puts on his posing trunks and sends physique check-ins to his coach. This highlights an issue that I find very prevalent in the bodybuilding community; body dysmorphia. Will comments that he feels like he looks flat and depleted, despite his extremely lean and muscular physique. He even states that he feels he is a higher body fat percentage than he really is and that it contributes to him feeling less than stellar mentally. Obviously, anyone on the outside looking in would say that Will looks great! Extremely lean and quite muscular. This psychological effect is a real concern for anyone in the bodybuilding community and can actually lead to habits that are unhealthy both physically and mentally. It’s important to keep things in perspective and to realize that not everything we see in the mirror is reality. Sometimes, we need to take a step back and revaluate what we are looking at.
Will Tennyson then mentions more psychological effects from his bodybuilding prep where he goes onto say that he doesn’t really enjoy going to the gym and training anymore. He states that he has to mentally prepare himself for his chest, back & biceps day. I think it’s safe to say, when you are in a physically and mentally depleted state, asking yourself to engage in that kind of work out is asking for a lot. It might be easier to focus on a single muscle group at a time so that way you have enough energy the next time around to engage with another muscle group. With his current workout split, there is some carryover between muscle groups, in this case the back and biceps. What this means is that less work is needed, directly, for the biceps which also means lower daily workout volume. Trying to tackle a high volume workout in such a depleted state is asking a lot of your body, something it may not be prepared to handle.
From here, Will mentions that he has lost strength and muscle during his cut, but it doesn’t discourage him from having the same mindset of attacking his workout and that by treating it with the same intensity, he will get more out of his workouts. This is interesting because while you may not get the same output in terms of performance, you can still give a high effort and bring the necessary intensity to continue to build muscle in the process. It becomes clear that preparing for a bodybuilding competition is a mental prep as well as a physical prep. By maintaining the right mindset and outlook on everything can make all the difference in the world between success and failure.

Congrats to Will on the achievement. He's earned those donuts. I wonder if they make "carrot cake" donuts?? Anyway, taking a deep dive into Will's training prep as he got ready for his bodybuilding show. If you want to hear a critique on the diet side of this equation let me know in the comments below. There's some important lessons and takeaways there too.
I lost 22 kg in 22 weeks last year. Its not a great idea to loose that much weight when you are a 58 year old woman 😢
Michael Jackson enters a bodybuilding show
He looks like Dracula 😂
Will did suffer from body image problems as fat kid …he was even called fat while bulking last 4 years with lot of new people with little knowledge about bulking/cutting etc
Agree losing 10lbs fat make you look way bigger
Omg his face! He aged 10 years at least
Height matters duh
Will is a fake natty
I wished I looked that good. I too have lost 30lbs since January, down to 178, and look nothing close to Will. Something to shoot for.
Yep I know the feeling I competed natural bodybuilding for a number of years taking my body fat down to 3.8% , it’s such an extreme sport , takes over every part of your life and can end relationships
Will is a shining beacon of hope to all naturals
Love me some Will Tenny 💪
Ngl jeff was the very first YouTube fitness influencer i watched, and Will man Hes up there too. Such a great Comunity 👍
I don't feel like I'm losing size and strength. My body just stores more fat than I used to but I still blame the Mass Gainer shakes then I blame age I don't have any problem putting on size or strength. I mean maybe when I was 20 I could gain more muscle I don't know. I just remember one time I went to the gym and I did a whole upper body workout and then I went home and ate like a whole package of drumsticks and then when I woke up the next day all that chicken had completely shifted from my stomach to my muscles. That was the only time I noticed that. No I still have to deal with my body storing more fat than it used to. It did not store fat before at all whatsoever
Did you my go to has some old school equipment and it has an incline bench press however it is much higher than that it is a much steeper angle and I was skeptical about it at first however I definitely feel it in my upper chest
I feel like if I do an upper body workout I don't gain as much muscle and it doesn't last as long either. Rather than if I just do like an arm workout or a chest workout or a shoulder workout and then a back workout and then a leg workout definitely get more muscle off of those and it lasts a lot longer. However I think it would be better for burning more calories faster if I do a whole upper body and then lower body
recovery recovery recovery
I did my first competition in Albuquerque ,NM.
I have a broken back from duty as a paratrooper.
poor mood was normal because I didn't recover well
stretching soaking massages should be right after every workout ….
New Mexico killed me with the high elevation.
Will almost hasnthe same character as deadpool. 😂
Willing my Tennyson right now
Bro Can you make a video explaining some Pilates exercises for me?
No, he doesn't look like 200 lbs. Look at his neck… He looks as he is supposed for a body building show.
I thought that was Eminem on the right
Jeff, I don’t know why I can’t access your workouts at your website, I ordered AX-1 training system but I can’t login most of days from my iphone or laptop or anything
Jeff please help. I started loosing weight at 202 and got all the way down to 170. But I lost a good portion of my strength. Then I gained 20 pounds and my strength skyrocketed and pushing numbers I haven’t done before. While on one hand, I’m quite pleased. On the other hand, I don’t want to regain all the weight I worked hard to lose. What do you recommend I should do to get back down to 170-180 range but maintain my strength?
Thank you,
Very useful video.
As you mentioned it is sustainable but needs to loose weight and get jacked not in 6 months but a long term.
I did exactly that
I am 6,2 foot = 188cm= 42 years old
3 years in with consistent training 5- 6days all body just with free weights =30kg each dumbell and catalystic training.
I got jacked and it is easy to maintain without any suffering and love my full body workouts.
3 years ago I was 109kg and now 79.8 kg.
I drooped weight to 79kg but start to loose muscle mass and as you said drop of testerone made see myself in mirror after workouts Very skinny and not full-flat.
I backed up my weight to 79.8- 81kg feels great, Full, and shredded .
I am natural take BCCA, creatine, vitamins.
Appreciated
Not mentioned- PED’s- or not –
What is your opinion Jeff-
Jeff please do an in depth video on Rhabdomyolysis. I was a boxer for years and have done lots of high level physical in multiple areas in my life and this happened to me recently. I had not heard of it before. I’m out of the hospital and recovering now. Please give me as much information as possible. I’m guessing plenty of people have not heard of this. I’m sure some have but would appreciate the help. Thanks for the service to everyone who watches.
I wish I knew how much Jeff and Jessie weighed. Does anybody know? I get the feeling that people toss up weight numbers about "mass"–Arnold was 6' 3" and weighed 240–but WTF does that mean for a natty person who wants to be fit? I doubt that Charles Bronson weighted more than 160 pounds, but the web throws up all kinds of numbers for him: 170, 180. Any ideas out there?
