Following his videos where he followed the diets of actors like Hugh Jackman, Tom Ellis and Arnold Schwarzenegger, YouTuber Aseel Soueid felt like it was time to take on the GOAT. In his latest video, he spends the day living like basketball legend LeBron James; that means taking on the NBA star's grueling workout, and then eating his favorite meal.

Soueid kicks off the workout with LeBron's favored weight training combo, starting with 4 sets of 12 on the deadlift. "I'm already remembering why I don't do deadlifts," he says after his first set. "They kick your ass... It really really engages the core, legs, hamstrings, back, the whole nine yards."

He follows this with 4 sets of 12 reps on the standing barbell curl, and 4 sets of 12 on the barbell bent over row.

Then it's time for the bodyweight exercise portion: 3 sets of 20 wide-grip pushups, which he completes with relative ease, and 3 sets of 15 chinups. "Mad respect to LeBron James," he says. "3 sets of 15 is a lot of chinups. For a guy that size, chinups are a lot harder than you think." He adds that usually this number of reps would be "effortless" for him, however, coming right off the deadlifts and barbell rows, he's struggling with his grip strength, and he has to take 2 to 3 minutes to rest between each set.

Soueid rounds off the LeBron workout with 30 minutes of yoga, which helps with mobility when it comes to all of the other intensive training.

And then, finally, it is time for the post-workout meal, which in this case, is a recreation of LeBron's exact Blaze Pizza order, inspired by his stake in the restaurant chain. The pizza is topped with spicy red sauce, mozzarella, parmesan, grilled chicken, turkey meatballs, banana peppers, cherry tomatoes, garlic, basil, green peppers, olives, red onion, spinach, sea salt, arugula, and olive oil. This is accompanied by an entree-sized salad with chicken breast.

Soueid's verdict is simple. "I'm so freaking happy right now," he says. "It's worth all those 4 sets of 12."
