man i prayed for this guy everyday when he was going through it. its really nice to see him doing so well, calum motivated me to start lifting seems like 8n years ago now lol. GLad your doing well mate
You did a good thing 👍
I guessed your prayers were answered!
man. the only guy i see, well at least my own opinion, still look buff for olympic competition after laying in hospital for months.
Yes, my favorite bodybuilder started a podcast!!
For Calum to go through what he did and still be here positive and transparent is a blessing
Its just inner strenght. I went through same shiet
I mean it's not, it's because he's still a crackhead and he's broke. Also you people will still buy into his shit, guy has had like 8 second chances now.
it's all faked for social media which is kind of sad coz i wouldn't be surprised if he's still struggling inside
@@DethrowDestruction the struggle never stops. thats life
@@DethrowDestruction I really hope he's feeling better
Koala is back. Great to see you. Greetings from Germany.

The neglect from the medical community and the positive effects of TRT is not talked about enough. Blasting anabolics is one thing but the positive effects of medical testosterone are so important that it can literally save lives. Create a whole podcast invite Dr T - George Touliatos and Calum. We need more awareness
Now that you're back, take some time to see a bit of San Diego. I'm 70+ and have been a fan for years. Come down and I'll take you for a nice bike ride around the beaches and bays. I have ridden a lot in Melbourne (lots of nice bike paths there) and I still ride 100+mi./wk now. We can go as far (and pretty much as fast) as you want to go. Best to you.
Great to see you started a podcast. I know it's been a tough transformation from your early days at Gold's. But your character and words have more depth and meaning to me. I definitely feel more captivated to who and what you are than in years prior. RIP Rex!!!
I’m very proud of you, Calum. I’ve followed you since the Mad Desire days. You’ve grown from a child to man, in which to get there you had to make many sacrifices. But, that is what makes a man. Bravo, I’m cheering for you!
Love from a fellow lifter in Denmark
His physique in Mad Desire is in my opinion one of the best of all time.
What a chune too
Calum has always been my favourite bodybuilder. Got dealt one of the roughest hands I’ve ever seen and he got back out there. That kind of resilience is so rare. Always keeping you in my prayers man.
Does it count as getting dealt a rough hand if you deal it to yourself? His injuries, accidents, legal troubles, and addictions were all due to decisions he made. That said I'm glad he's doing well and in a better spot.
Weeee
@@nathanc777 yes because life is incredibly difficult and no one does things perfectly
I can relate to a lot of the depression side. The gym is my outlet after work. Thanks for sharing mate
Calum as he said was enhanced. Of course he needed the right doctors who would have described him trt. TRT was the solution for Calum. More doctors SHOULD be aware for the positive effects.
I’m glad to see that you’re doing better Calum 🙏 I went through a very dark period in my life several years ago due to the passing of several family members, so I can relate to your feelings of loss.
As a guy who's also recently sober, this message really hit home to me. Calum is such a light. We need him now more than ever. Onwards and upwards
Ayyyee back to the golden era size!
That was the most inspiring and raw interview I’ve ever listened to. The sheer determination and strength from within from Calum is something rare considering everything he’s been through and I’m so grateful that he’s back and can’t wait to see where this next chapter of your life leads you 💪🏽
You are a warrior Cal. Listening to what you have been through legit brings tears to my eyes but I am so happy and inspired to see how you have kept moving forward and rebuilt yourself. Your brother would be proud
This video gave me goosebumps. So happy the OG is back. Don’t go missing again. Rebuild yourself, remove the tattoos and come back to greatness as the clean cut Calum
nah keep the tats so he always knows where he came from and where he wants to go
Nah man tattoos stay, regardless if he has them or not he’s moving forward as the better version of himself
You should invite some doctors like doc George Touliatos, who talk about the positive effects of trt on people with hypogonadism, low testosterone which leads to depression. It's a new concept in medicine which was a taboo about how evil Testo is. But MEDICINE DESCRIBED TESTOSTERONE can really save lives. Make a new podcast about this. Look more into it.
The legend is back! Your story is so motivating Calum and will inspire so many people in the world!
Cal you're a top bloke, great to hear you talk in depth about your experiences, and it's good to see you're in better spirits. Keep it up!
Good shit man
Really enjoyed listening, you and Daniel are a good collab!
I was in Mexico last year and tore both quad tendons within 15 minutes of each other. I was stuck in a Mexican hospital for 12 hours. Then two airlines denied me a flight home because I was a risk not being able to bend my legs and in a wheelchair. My wife thought we will rent a car and drive home....I said it's a 47-hour drive and 20 of it through mexico, and we will never get to the border. Delta airlines said they would take us...thank you Delta...best airline ever...I had to take up 3 seats but only charged us for 2...hers and I. Then it was a month and a half of not moving from my recliner...pissing in bottles and having to hand wash myself...it was hell. I used a wheelchair for a month after then started walking with braces.....was off work not getting paid for 3 months. Dr. said he had never seen someone tear both at the same time. All I did was jump off a 10' high wall into the water. As soon as I pushed off it tore....than 15 minutes later when 3 guys helped me walk up a flight of stairs to the car, and the other one tore pushing off with my good leg.
Muscle memory is insane lol
hopefully he doesn’t go down that path again
Long time subscriber, been here from the early days. Glad to see the channel has a fresh new direction. 👍👍
Dude is def back on the juice
Thank you for being MUSCULAR ;)
Calum was a huge inspiration to me when I was 18 years old. I wanted that bodybuilding lifestyle that was put out by him on RUclips. I’m 24 now and just did my first bodybuilding show. I watched some of Calums older videos from I think 6-7 years back.
Let’s go Calum! Rise! Buy back your time. The time is at hand. I do believe the more you’re able to get alone the more you will truly find yourself and damn can it be scary but so fulfilling.
AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE 💪💪 YOUR COME BACK HAS PUSHED ME EVEN HARDER GOD BLESS YOU BROTHER 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Got me into bodybuilding in 2015/16 legend
LFG!! Welcome back brotha 🙌
You’re amazing brother.. how people comment anything negatively after you opening up here is beyond me. You’re a F++King champ and should be proud of where you’re at right now
More life my guy, more life ❤
Jacked again.
Croaky it's about time mate
Glad to see you coming back Cal. I see you are growing a stache, when is the mullet coming back?💯🔥🤙
where do i recognize the asian fella from?
You're a king, Calum. So glad you're still here with us. Please keep making episodes for this podcast. Hope to one day meet ya and train with ya, brotha
Release Mad Desire 2 Calum! Retvrn
Excellent podcast on Mental Health guys.
Callum on the way up boys 🙌
Unless you’ve been at the height he has idk if you can really say anything about him. Plenty of celebs with money & the fast life in their hands have crumbled worse than him. Couple that with everything else i’d say thumbs up him for making it out. I personally haven’t dealt with half he has and life, work & mental fatigue put me at an edge i didn’t know i could get to. Life is hard and i salute anyone who goes through the ups & downs and comes around again with a smile.
Bro had a few unlucky weeks, so what, we all forgot. Great things ahead👍
This is so great, and it couldn't have happened at a better time!
Im looking up and this helps me keep my eyes up!
Thank you Calum for your comeback!
You were always in my prayers!
You are the person that turned me on to training, because of you I am down 120 lbs. Im so happy that you are back Calum!
So so so damn proud of you calum. We're all rooting for you man.
Go crush it. We're supporting you all the way. Lets go!
Hey Calum! Good to see you coming back. If your in So. Cal. come on out to see Speedway at Costa Mesa or Industry Hills sometime.
Good shout starting a podcast for sure 👍
i've been in 3 NDE 2/3 from drugs and alc. the other a car accident that almost killed me. It's amazing to get another chance to be better..
love to see calum starting this podcast. I'm just confused if someone can tell me who Daniel Kim is? Is he like his therapist?
Good to see the man back and jacked,what a shit time he had,mental health is everybodys main priority
That’s crazy. I was literally thinking about spiritual warfare when he was describing what happened with him jumping out the window then he goes on to talk about it. Satan is trying to take you out Calum, that must mean you’re meant for great things so keep that spirit strong man ✝️
Daniel was really good at moving the conversation.
I know this is a podcast you're hosting, and that this one was very focused on you rather than a guest, but it was a good introduction podcast and Daniel was a great guest/co-host. I wonder if he'll be staying on going forward?
Also I don't ever listen to podcasts but listened to this whole thing, keen for the next episode.
Gotta get this other guy off the pod, his mic was on the whole time so you get feedback from Callums mic and you can hear stuff going on in his background, I was focusing on Callum but it was hard because of old mate interrupting and being annoying
Stay strong king 🤘🏽
I know he's been through a lot""but ""he's still sex on legs,hahaha,,""glad to see you coming back to us all..calum you can't BEAT UR MUMS LOVE..❤❤❤
I love callum but that werent weed or booze. Dont put a bad name on them for some 🧊 does
Koality pod brother
Cutler Cast tomorrow at 9:00am
Chris is lucky Calum doesn’t compete. Calum was going to become the image of classic physique. He still is in my mind. I remember finding him in a music/motivation video on youtube like 12 years ago. Fan ever since.
Please come back with your training, traveling around vlogs Calum.
Podcasts to boring man.
I only recently discovered Calum, dude is solid and his past is so similar to what I’ve endured, granted I’m 10+ years older and only just started my fitness journey. His focus after such tragedy is inspiring to say the least. Good on ya Calum, I’m pumped to see you get back to your passion!
I would just love a conversation between you Calum and Said Shavershian .. There are so many similarities and things to talk about .. Im very curious to hear about how he handled the loss of his brother (Zyzz) and how he is doing now .. Please make this happen Calum that would be so interesting !
Keep grinding CVM! Maybe do show with JLP “Jesse Lee Peterson” he has a great perspective of a spiritual battle between Good and evil!
Great to see you are doing good! Very happy for you. Did you ever think about getting into Arm Wrestling?? I believe you would do really really good.
The world needs Calum, and for those of us who train definitely need him!! so glad to see him back and on track!!!
Socialising was limited unless, of course, you were in government, then you could do what you want.
looking BIG AF again calum, what is your weight these days ???
Wow what a great interview, ive followed you for years and so good to see you doing so well now man. Thanks for sharing your story and trying to help others. Look forward to seeing you continue to grow and how you positively impact others. Keep moving up bro, catch ya later👊💪😎
God bless u Calum! You inspired a generation. Be safe!
looking good mate, look forward to the next one
Inspiring first episode Cal! Looking forward to seeing you reconnect with old faces from your past and spread a positive outlook on overcoming tough times.
Całym ale się zrobiłeś duży super!!!
I still wrar my staunch gear all the time.
Happy to see you back, Cal.
All the best!
Glad you’re back doing better and still with us. Living a good life with others is all that matters! Glad your here homie please stay on the on your awesome!
God bless u Calum ❤🙏 so happy ur back 😊 god has bigger plans for you bro the lord is ur strength ! 💪🏻 love the podcast
Thank you for being muscular!
I wouldn't even worry about doing contests you have such a big media following.
May the lord bless you and keep you. The devil is real and Christ is king 💪🏾 stay strong brother you inspire me
everybody had atleast 1 freak out on weed... but very true about lowering your spirit when ur on drugs... but is u sure u werent on them shards ;) lol jk.
Could've been Mr Olympia for sure if ya had abit of gumption about yourself!
A few things missing which he needs to speak on. First is his use of meth (ice). Be honest and tell the whole truth. Second the physical and mental impact of trenbolone. Third the full story with the girl who became pregnant and his child. 4th the deaths of his numerous animals. And last the impact of drug use on the mental state of his brother. These are hard topics to speak on. Maybe embarrassing also. But to move forward he should be honest and open on these topics.
Or maybe your a nosey mofo and wana know
😂😂😂😂😂😂 who fuck are you?
Can you tell us what happened to Miguel Valenzuela? His video about you inspired a lot of people to start lifting.
cal got me into lifting over 10 years ago. Id play one of his workouts before mine and go hammer the weights feeling so fired up. Great to see him battle back after the stuff he had to deal with.
has a 1982 Wolverine #1 in the background....
Calumn….you have no idea how much this pod helped me and how much I could relate. Is there any way to get In touch with you via email?
The king has returned, you and Jeff Seid
Would love to see you and Chris get back together! Both the legends back together!
calum will you ever step on the stage again?
Teaching the young dudes taking steroids that it’s not a good idea is a way better mission than any other you were on back in the day.
I love this arch
Speaking of pokemon go, I haven't seen an invite in a while brother 😂😂😂
I think you found your calling. Continue to tell your story to help others.
I hope he keeps it up. Seems to make a post and then leave. Hope you are doing well brother 👊
Praise the lord, I've been praying for my favorite all time guy to get back on the iron horse a ride again. Despite all he's been through.
Remember Cal, we are all here for you champ. as is our Lord always, cheers,stay swole guys an most of all Cal
As he said, everyone says he's there for him but when he needed it, noone was there for him. No matter how many fans he has.
I had the most insane 2018 ever which actually surprise ended with my dad dying and I feel like ever since that year I'm indestructible. My level of resilience is sky high because nothing can ever be worse than that. Looking back on things like that its easy to frame them as blessings in disguise. Any tragedy going forward is going to be dampened. Pushing one's limits earlier in life like this is a good thing. It sucks... but it's a good thing eventually.
God bless you Calum. The Lord has a plan for you 🙏❤️
Welcome back..... Great to see u. Lookin good.
🐐
You look buff asf here bruv ! come on keep on posting tho
Love this Cal! Keep it up man, sounds like you have made some koality spirit GAINZ! You inspired me when I started training and focusing on bodybuilding, I was actually just listening to the pirate edm song that was on your videos, we’re here for you and I’m glad you’re feeling better.💪
bro u should have audition for a role in mad max!!!!!!!!!!
