I've gone through alot of failure in the past three years. I'm young and everyone tells me it's normal and to just get over it like it's easy. After so much failure I kinda started to give up on myself and my future. So much to the point that my relationship of seven years is almost just done with. She came to me and said it was just too much and she needed more out of life. Which was fair. It hurt to hear, but it wasn't untrue. It was like a defibrillator to me. My old self stepped in for just long enough to get in my face and snap me out of my depression I'd been spiraling in. And I talked to her. We agreed to put us in a kind of limbo to work on ourselves. Because I've promised too much in the past and didn't follow through. And she doesn't want to put herself in a situation to get hurt again. So I moved back in with my mom (no shame in that) and started hitting the gym everyday. 28 days later I feel insanely better about myself. My -dad bod- has changed. My stomach is about half the size my arms are starting to bulk up a bit and my love handles are almost gone. I feel the first taste of success I've felt in years. And (I'm not sure how this works but it does) somehow lifting weights and working on my body has helped me work through alot of mental issues like my self hate and abandonment issues. Point is like you said, the gym is a worthwhile endeavor and if you like going don't listen to anyone else because I'm the end it's what helps you that matters.

i will tell you what stick to my head and it will be ther for the rest of my life ther it is-: Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain-t all sunshine and rainbows. It-s a very mean and nasty place and I don-t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain-t about how hard ya hit. It-s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That-s how winning is done! Now if you know what you-re worth then go out and get what you-re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain-t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain-t you! You-re better than that! -

Love the quote. And the concept behind it giving you permission to be different. There's a quote I heard by Will Smith that says that -failure actually helps you to recognize the areas where you need to evolve-. This is one of those quotes that gave me permission to think differently. And changing how I think is what made me realize I was the only one standing in my way. Not other people, not circumstances - I was holding me back. He also says that fault and responsibility are not the same thing. If something bad happens to you, it may not be your fault, but it's your responsibility to figure out how you are going to deal with or respond to that. Taking responsibility for all the problems I used to use as excuses for why I played the victim actually gave me the most freedom I've ever experienced. So thanks for sharing sir.

Loved this video. Have seen lots of your other vids and use some of the techniques you show. I'm a recovering alcoholic. After giving up the booze and smoking my life felt empty. I started filling that void with food and began to hate how I looked and what I was becoming. I started to work out because of a shoulder injury and found it gave me something. Ambition and focus. When I started seeing a difference in my body I got my pride back. My life is lived 1 day at a time. It's the AA way and the only way I can live it. Working out helps with that and much more. I went from 2 to 3 days a week to 6 days most weeks and never less than 4 days. Working out helps with my body but more so with my head.
Thank you for this video. Much respect.

I dropped 36lbs off my 184lb 5- 4- frame at age 13. I finally had enough then I used my sad about of equipment to workout and it got me by for a while. Then I started walking to my high school gym (I was in middle school) and saw the best gains of my life. Then we got locked down and I moved my dads equipment into my garage but the motivation wasn't there. I didn't feel enough and that tanked my motivation. But a lot of bad thing have happened and are happening to me right now but I'm back on that path of gains and attacking the gym daily.

Training saves me, daily. Uplifts my spirit, gives me confidence and I-m literally happier and a better person after I hit the gym. Almost died of alcoholism 5yrs ago and feeling the pain of pushing the boundaries with my body daily in the gym promotes humility and focus on what-s most important; just being a better human. Training changed my mindset in many ways. Life happens for us, not to us.

Been lifting since i was 19, soon to be 42 and just like you said i did it because of my own insecurities and evolved into my anger management program. I have built my own home gym that my younger self would be super proud of. Just found your videos tonight while at work and i dig it. Thanks for speaking the truth. Keep it up.

This part was totally relatable.
I started working out because I was insecure about myself, my shape, strength and all.
And now. I have fallen in love with it. This has become something I preach now. Doesn't mean that I don't take no breaks. I do, but only to come back more hyped up than last time.

My brother got killed in a drive-by when I was in high school. that has motivated me ever sense. I joined the military, transitioned to law enforcement, and I have been catching and chasing douche-bags ever since. Motivation comes in different ways, mine was hate, then turned into love. because I love what I do.

I-m starting work out again but this time I-m wanting to bulk way up. I watch maybe 4 of your videos so far and I was wondering what would be a good route to get into? Is there a workout plan you have that you could share?
