A bodybuilder's full Saturday routinefrom @danielcoffeen3

[01]

Overview

The creator documents a full Saturday in his life as a bodybuilder, starting with his morning routine of taking steroids, showering, and shaving. He then has a 'dab and devotional,' makes protein muffins, and prepares for travel by packing meals and luggage. The video follows him as he drives to the Phoenix airport, interacts with an employee, eats a pre-flight meal, has an emotional goodbye with his child, cries, and then pivots to working on his business before flying back to Las Vegas to end his day.
