The video starts with day 1, where he weights himself on a scale while having an empty stomach. The weight shows 174 lbs. After that, Jesse sends in his daily physique check-ins to his coach. This is how West makes sure his coach can understand if he is on the right track and looking better or needs improvement.

Finally, it is breakfast time, and the diet is extremely strict with perfectly measured portions because going down to 6% body fat is not a piece of cake. He takes his oats, egg whites, and veggies and sits down for breakfast.

Jesse decides to talk about the reality of getting shredded and says that it is not such a beautiful ride. He says, “I wanted to document this every day because I want to show you guys the truth about what it’s like getting this shredded.” He continues, “It might look cool but I am about to feel the worst I have in over a year.” Ironically, after saying that, he compliments the taste of the food, “All right, the oats slap.” West might be completely into the shredding routine now, but a few days back, he was quite emotional before starting the challenge.

Jesse pens a heartfelt letter before starting his fitness regime

The self-proclaimed son of Ronnie Coleman showed two of his pictures from a previous competition and penned a note. He wrote, “I am officially 6 days out from the competition. This was my last year in my first-ever competition. I didn’t do a real prep, this time I did. I am about to blow this previous physique out of the water.” 

After talking about his determination, he finally spoke out from a more empathetic perspective and said, “The most important thing is the impact this series makes on people’s lives. I want to inspire as many people as humanly possible. I love all of you and thank you for supporting me this far. We are just getting started.”
