Following 1950's FOOD & FITNESS TRENDS For A Day | Jello Salad + Steve Reeves Full Body Workout

where is it your food went bad i threw it out i can make you something else if you want no i wanted that and i'm going to eat it if it's the last thing i do i think i went too far back what is going on guys will here welcome to the video today we're going to be exploring the 1950s so in the past on this channel we've taken a look at the 80s we've taken a look at the 90s the decade i was born and now we're going way way way back to the 1950s before my parents were even born to see what they're serving up on their plates doing in the gym and just doing for fun so there's a lot of interesting things today like some pretty weird food not gonna lie it's gonna be a fun day sit back relax and let's go and make some breakfast [Applause] [Music] [Applause] all right y'all so we got ourselves a 1950s breakfast starting off with the eggos so eggos were introduced in 1953 but before they became frozen they were actually just like a powder that you put on a waffle iron but the 1950s shifted to a massive frozen food trend so in order to stay relevant they had to adapt and that's how they came out with the eggos formerly known as the froffles but then they changed the name to eggos because of the egg like taste and we are going to see about that because i don't remember an egg-like taste so we're going to baste them with anchovies love juice and see about that i don't know if the kids in the 50s used to fork a knife but i sure as hell am not i prefer a waffle usually of the belgian variety smells kind of eggy i used to have it all the time as kid and you remember how good things are when you put them in your mouth like a lot of things [Music] i can't quite pinpoint the egg taste like i mean i wouldn't be swayed if i was the owner of this company to like change the name based on that but they are a solid solid convenient breakfast item oh man you gotta eat these things quick they embrace the syrup in no time so to accompany my waffles and this protein lackluster breakfast we got ourselves some cereal so the 50s were considered the golden age of cereal and it was actually kind of the first time where sugar was really put into cereals for the kids you know frosted flakes pretty much the best cereal no cap pretty much the dandruff of angels gonna add some cashew milk so these are pretty much like a laced corn flake with additives to compel your children to have them for breakfast you know smart move kellogg's oh my god these are so good oh that bowl took me through an emotional journey so this was a breakfast that you should have if you want to be hungry in five minutes so probably gonna be hungry in five minutes but we are gonna wait but now we're gonna head to my house and do a cardio workout so in the 1950s a company called wamo introduced the good old hula hoop and they instantly became a big international hit in the first four months they sold nearly 25 million hula hoops so they are used for recreational activities for kids they're using entertainment and shows and they were used for fitness so with that said we're gonna be following a hula hoop workout on youtube i found this 15 minute one here and you know i have no idea what to expect i haven't really cool hooped i actually just bought this and if other hip intensive movements carry over this and probably gonna max out at two rotations but we will see and we're gonna try to get a sweat on and then get a post workout meal first we're going to start by doing a few stretches with the hula hoop the first one is cat camel so coming down arching your back like a cat and then curving the opposite way we're going to do this a few times [Music] it's not that hard okay we're going to start in side steps moving your hips from side to side and get a good rhythm going it's all about the motion of the ocean [Applause] [Music] guys [Music] there we go [Applause] [Music] [Music] okay okay it's all about finding that groove guys once you like kind of you know just don't stop am i gonna do what she's doing it's just working so you know we're gonna stick with it i'm actually like building up a sweat right now who looks where it's at yo no [Applause] [Music] [Applause] i'm getting more pissed off hula hooping than lifting weights right now [Music] [Applause] [Music] oh yeah [Music] [Applause] all right guys well that was the workout i'll probably edit it to make it seem like i actually hula hoop the whole entire time in reality i probably was only hula hooping for like a minute so that just shows me why i never danced in university on the dance floor and why i'm incredibly awkward but it is what it is it was actually very very tiring for only being 15 minutes but it was fun maybe i will start hula hooping on a daily basis gonna go and get some food because that's certainly built up an appetite [Music] okay so lunch is served and we got ourselves pizza hut because pizza huh was established in 1958 by two brothers from kansas they asked their mom for a 600 loan and they ended up making pizza which is pretty damn incredible so we got ourselves a hawaiian pizza for two reasons one because pineapple belongs on pizza and two because hawaii became a state in 1959 so when pizza hut came out they had a mask or called pizza pete and people didn't like him he left a bad taste in people's mouths peets tend to do that so they quickly switched that and turned that into the iconic red roof that they have today look at the size of this thing right now i don't really like when crust does too much of the work [Music] it's not bad i mean like making really really bad pizza is almost impossible to do and if you make bad pizza you should be shot like i've said that multiple times but i mean look at my fingers go now i don't know if back in the 50s they had the pizza hut buffet but i used to love that as a kid like not many things excited me but turning up at one of those was definitely one of them so whatever time period they came up with that is when us as humans peaked and i'll put a picture on the screen right now of the 1950s pizza hut menu as you can see it's pretty just like standard you want a cheese pizza we'll give you a cheese piece you want pepperoni we'll give you pepperoni but now it's like what do you want to stuff the crust with you know it's like we'll stuff anything like you you pick it up we'll put it in the crust if you know you want you want a donut in your crust perfect it'll go nicely with your insulin stuffed jalapeno poppers you know different times i'm only two slices deep and i want to take a bath only pizza will do that too mom would you like pizza hut do i like it or did you like it or did you ever like it i liked it but it didn't like me you liked it well it's so greasy though like it is like look at my with my hands they're wet and you always see me in upstairs so i just could never have i mean look at so i got a small pizza looking at our napkins they gave me so either it's really greasy or they or they watch my youtube channel yeah you know see how messy i am yeah but i feel really sick i've already had that much left so i'm probably gonna leave that because now we're gonna head to the gym and do a workout and i don't know if this was the best pre-workout meal especially with the workout that we have in store today but we will see and um hopefully i don't have to revisit the first half of this pizza all right guys so we're at the gym right now so the 1950s was not a big time for bodybuilding that was much more in the 60s where that really took off but there was definitely some notable physiques in the 1950s and one of those was steve reeves he's seen by classic physique competitors today is having some of the best proportions in the world he just had like that classic physique look the wide shoulders small waist so say would be following one of those full body workouts it seems pretty tough 30 to 40 sets so just because you're training three days a week like he did doesn't mean you're not putting in the work all right so i'm gonna put the workout on the screen right now so as you guys can see it's a lot of different exercises three sets eight to twelve reps so the workout we're following is one of his most popular ones that he made back in 1951 so the reason why he only trained three days a week because he wanted to optimize recovery so he would work out then have a day off and have another workout day off so he'd only train three of the seven days of the week uh so as you guys can see all compound movements there's no machines back in the day they really have machines so this can be pretty damn hard like the fact i'm doing squats sixth exercise of this workout is just a little bit scary but we're gonna hop into military press right now and give it our best shot [Music] good [Music] okay guys so we've done bench press we've done barbell row and we've done military press so pretty much just a full upper body assault so now it's time to do standing cab raises and abs it's pretty much like the intermission of the workout before we get into the lower body assault so three sets 8-12 reps [Music] [Music] so [Music] all right so we just dropped up the squat so i'm starting to see the lightning in the tunnel so we're on exercise number seven of 10 now we're doing atg squat which i believe stands for asta grass squats it's a deep squat variation so instead of going just to parallel you're going as far as you can past parallel so i mean i've never tried this before so we only have one plate on the bar and three sets it's 12 reps [Music] [Applause] [Music] my one [Music] all right guys so in the last two exercises we're just needing some arms to finish off so this workout actually killed me so it's just full body three days a week it doesn't sound intense i know a lot of people think you gotta be in the gym seven days a week to get to actually grow but that is not the case if you train right you train hard you train smart you can meet the gym three days a week and make just as good gains so i mean try this workout let me know what you think [Music] so [Music] okay so we are back from the gym and it's time for meal number three so last night this is what happened [Applause] [Music] so [Applause] which leads us to right now so we made a jello salad so here we have our jello that has kind of enclosed our iceberg lettuce and our green onions which is kind of interesting so jello salad was like a form of status and wealth back in the 1950s because refrigerators costed a lot of money so by just being able to make jello itself just showed that you had to go up you know what i mean so we have this here and what we're going to do is kind of dress it up make it all fancy so i have the tuna with some mayo and some capers salt and pepper very rarely am i frightened from food and this is kind of doing it right now cucumbers all around good a little bit of radish throw some red in there and there we go so this is gonna be my snack if i can actually stomach it and get it down and we're gonna go see how it tastes it smells a bit like a a horror movie you know what i mean it also it also actually smells like a big mac from the 1950s that you just found in an attic agreed you agree yeah yeah i'll tell you the lettuce did not maintain its integrity wasn't thinking so i also have a coffee on deck to accompany this although i don't think it's the best beverage to have alongside this but at the same time is jello really the best thing to accompany tuna you know what i mean there you go hopefully serve yourself first that's disgusting audrey keep it down i'll keep it down i think you'll swallow yeah all right you ready no well you know what it might not be bad but i will say though since starting youtube i've definitely lost touch with what the average person finds palatable so i could actually like this yeah i might start incorporating it into dinner is it vegan i don't think so and it it started good but then it just got a little weird it definitely is an unforgettable flavor profile like it's weird but good like extremely weird but good it looks like something that you would find i like an elementary school like haunted house then you put your hand in there and be like yeah i like it that much i'm going for seconds yo no no need finish mine no i'm gonna have my own i want your cooties this dish the more i eat it is like shifting my point of view to what i have no idea but definitely something like this is unlike any amp in my mouth before would you agree yeah yeah how people come up with this stuff is beyond me like it's just very creative but also the same time it's like what were they on did you like the choice of lime i did i think the lime goes really nice with the with the tuna and the radish it pairs well it actually pairs well overall it's pretty it's a very macro friendly meal so that way you went for seconds yeah i mean like if you're into like fitness bodybuilding you're on contest prep make one of these like this whole entire thing the jello is like zero calories because it's the sugar-free jell-o then you have the tuna which is pretty much nothing and then the veggies like what's a volume eating right there facts it should be great you said i was just going to say greg yeah try it out comment down below yeah what it's really not that great what are you saying oh i got a caper have you got a paper with that bite no maybe you were like born in the 1950s seems like it all right guys so that was the jello salad it exceeded my expectations clearly as you guys just saw highly recommend make one yourself let me know you guys think it's very very weird most you guys probably won't like it i just like to eat so uh gonna go hang out for a bit uh do some activities uh work up a sweat and then have some dinner all right guys time to make some dinner not make we're just opening it up throwing into the microwave and just heating it up because back in 1953 swansons came up with the first ever tv dinner selling for 89 cents so in their first year they only sold 5 000 units but then the next year in 1954 they sold over 10 million units which is pretty insane and in 1960 they started to introduce the dessert so my dinner tonight is gonna be a chicken parmesan which looks pretty good within an apple dessert which looks a little bit questionable so this might not be the best so to accompany this we're gonna have a 50s cocktail that was very popular called the gin and sin which is obviously some gin with equal parts orange juice grenadine and then a teaspoon of lemon juice all shaken up on the rocks and that is my beautiful quick and easy dinner [Music] all right so the chicken parmesan is cooking away just about a minute and 20 seconds left so time to make the gin and sin so starting off with one and a half ounces of gin good now we go in with one ounce of orange juice so pulp no sorry we got no pulp orange juice here are you guys pulp or no pulp to me it doesn't matter i'll swallow anything one ounce orange juice now we do half a teaspoon of grenadine syrup good and then last but not least one ounce of lemon juice [Music] there we go shake it all up and that is the gin and sand all right so dinner is served so this is the box so this is what we see and then this is what we get so i see a few variances um this drink looks really good so let's give this a little taste test right now so the gin and sin [Music] oh that's good that is not half bad that is pretty good there's like an honesty to it oh it's very ketchupy very ketchupy not bad but i tell you what i'm definitely not fooled into thinking i'm an italian restaurant let's get our veggies in that's some good veg so this meal comes out to 410 calories 14 grams of fat 52 carbs and 19 grams of protein not that bad so some of the meals come with a brownie and then some like this one come with a apple dessert which if i'm being honest looks like the aftermath of my night with an apple pie [Music] i don't know if i'd throw that into the dessert category like this is kind of like the thing you want to get out of the way first not something that you want to kind of reward yourself last oh okay [Music] all right drink down dinner down i mean this is pretty worth it to me if this was 89 cents it was not it was like three dollars and like 40 cents or something but still pretty good uh so gonna go upstairs and i'm gonna go play a game with my sisters and katie it's a very popular game in the 50s and it's called yahtzee no not quite so in 1954 a canadian couple wanted to find a game to play on their yacht so they ended up making a game called the yacht game but then someone took it and turned it into yahtzee so i actually love this game i played it all the time growing up as a kid so we are going to play a game right now to end off the night and celebrate the 50s [Applause] okay do you just go to casual small straight first roll how do you feel i can't just find a small string [Applause] [Music] all right guys i'm going to call it yahtzee on youtube right now if i get it you have to subscribe that was one two three sixes full house i'll take that you should still subscribe [Applause] [Music] [Applause] smell straight all right guys so just wrapped up the game at yasi came in dead last but it's okay it's all good fun it's just a game nobody really cares i kind of care but i'm gonna wrap up the video guys here that was living like it's the 1950s if you guys enjoyed the video please give it a like subscribe the channel if you're new and i'll see you guys in the next one
