If you're interested in checking your testosterone levels, as well as other biomarkers, here’s a link to the blood test that I used: siphoxhealth.com/discount/goalguys
Also just FYI the average total Testosterone is just that, an AVERAGE range that men's T levels fall under, not the number that is actually optimal for health. If you want a more optimal range, instead of seeing it as 120-520 being "normal" it should really be more like 520-1200. The problem is, as men's T levels continue to decline over recent generations the "average" range keeps dropping. You actually really should consider going on TRT if you haven't already and you're still not feeling optimal. With all of the toxins and Testosterone nuking lifestyle habits in todays world I would say most men will probably need TRT at some point in their lives. I just found your channel so I'll keep up with your journey on this if you've made anymore content about it. Keep up the good work!
hi! your low T is a bit concerning! Have you looked at what other men are getting your age? Not what doctors' think we should be at - the 'range' for 'acceptable' T is pretty ridiculous and quite harmful actually. For reference, in my late 40s, my T has averaged around 700+.

When I see someone exercising and struggling, I admire them even more. It takes a lot to push through that. I’m just proud of them for being in the game and persevering. We’ve ALL been there. My point being, just because you think something doesn’t mean it’s true, and the thing you should actually be concerned with is, not passers-by judging you but why your thoughts went there and why you believed it.
To me, he looks like he's trying to convey to everyone (including himself) how difficult it is, almost to garner sympathy or to put social behaviour above getting work done. Any negative thought during or around a set makes a good set basically impossible. It's a MINDSET THING.
I lost my wife to cancer and four months later I was dying. I could feel it. At 53, I am too old to put myself through that much suffering, but I found your story, so inspiring! I actually have a similar story, but without the burden you took on. They say “no pain, no gain” however, it’s more like you can either let life beat you down and keep you down, or you can find the joy in life, and it will raise you up, as if you have made yourself light as a feather I was headed for a heart attack. So my son got me to the gym and in two weeks I felt better. I would workout for 10 or 20 minutes a day while he did his 2 hour work out. I would go from machine to machine doing a few reps and raising the weights up as I went along lifting as heavy as I could because I enjoy lifting heavy. This kept my heart rate up around 110 to 130 and I broke a considerable sweat without actually running. Around this time, I got my first revelation. It told me that if I had the faith of a mustard seed, I could move mountains. If I wanted to be stronger and in better health, all I had to do was feel stronger, and in better health, and accept that as gods gift . By living as somebody who is already stronger and a better health, and by having faith that God would make it so, I did what a strong man with a nice physique would do. I ate my protein, I took my pre-workout, I took my creatine, I went to the gym with my son, and I lifted heavy , which is what I enjoy. But most of all, I did it regularly, and found the joy in it. By simply working out 20 minutes a day on average, I changed who I was and how I identify with myself. I am a guy who works out every day for 20 minutes. I am a guy who feels strong and has a good physique, even though I was 265. Four months later, I had lost 40 pounds and gain muscle at the same time. My benchpress went from 185 to 315. 15 years prior I had maxed out at 305 and all the strength just came right back quickly. However, my connective tissue couldn’t keep this up indefinitely, so I began transitioning from lifting heavy to lifting lighter. Now I only lift heavy on leg day, which helps my testosterone. I do close grip pull down, which makes my biceps fill out nicely without too much strain on the tendons. I do benchpress for general chest strength, and I lay down on my back and isolate my triceps with dumbbells, which works great. I goof off on the other machines, just popping around to them and seeing how many of them I can stack for multiple reps. Remember, it’s about the joy of it all. I want to look good, but I really just want to enjoy what I’m doing and enjoy experiencing life with people I like spending time with.
Good on you mate, life keeps going on and you can , as hard as it may seem as we get older find new love in life without losing what we shared with another. Best of luck with all you're aiming for and keep focusing on your health. You'll be surprised how you begin to feel and what other good comes your way without even searching for it.
17:24 - I literally just said this to my therapist 2 hrs ago. I have the ability to push through intense pain and discomfort, but I can't motivate myself for the easy things. If I can treat the other "discomforts" in life like I do my body and train myself to push through, then I will be where I want to be. Thanks for making this video.
I feel great that I stumbled upon this channel, with relatable and honest content. Your relentless pursuit of your goals despite fighting your inner demons: self-doubts, negative thoughts and anxiety about the future, had me rooting for you to win this personal challenge, thanks for motivating me!
It’s great that he won that basketball game, however, the outcome doesn’t matter as much as the transformation. This guy went through. All he did was decide to put in his effort every day no matter what, no matter how much it hurt. You cannot underestimate how radically and quickly that will change you. Even if he lost the game, he came out a winner. Storytime. There was a naïve kid who wanted to play college football, but he sucked. An average high school player, he insisted he would play Division 1 college football. so his brother takes him to meet the coach, and the coach takes one look at him and says yeah you’re not gonna have a chance you have to be over 300 pounds. Even worse, he didn’t know any better so he gains weight by eating potato chips and shows up to practice a fat tub of lard 100 pounds overweight and obviously totally sucks. The kid suck so bad he doesn’t even know how bad he sucks. However, the coach sees he has grown up with no father and takes pity on him and continues to let him practice with the team and hold the tackling dummy. The other men on the team make so much fun of him, and are so brutally cruel to him that he starts to get the picture., but being a naïve kid, he doesn’t know how much of a loser he really is, so he shows up to practice every day, and puts in consistent effort, and never gives up. After months, he drops 100 pounds of fat and adds 50 pounds of muscle. He finally starts to beat the slowest kid on the team in wind sprints. His positive attitude and willingness to take all the bullying without complaining begins to endear him to the other men, and they begin to accept him even though he still sucks. Then, one day, they are doing a brutal drill where you have to push the other guy out of a square. He goes up against the teams, best lineman, the guy who had bullied him from the start, and somehow gets lucky and beats him. So everybody is shocked, and they decide to do it again, and again. He beats this guy every time. Without even realizing it, simply by showing up, putting in the work, and behaving as a winner does, even though the outcome was always a loss, this young man had done the impossible. He not only made the team, but he became their best player. If you’ve ever watched Tebow, and not understood how the leagues worst quarterback could ever win an NFL game, this is the sort of thing that happened with this kid, Brandon. He not only became the best player, but he lead by example as all great leaders do throughout history. He became a team captain good friends with the team bully and inspired the team to go from bad to a winning streak, and become one of the top ranked teams in the league. He was drafted in round three in the NFL. His story is told the movie “Greater” on Netflix
Sourounding yourself with people that are competitive improves your drive. The mamba mentality, as u mentioned in the video, also helped me to get back to the grind. It's really impressive what is possible, when u get your mind straight. Good content!
I love the videos, but I’m pretty sure you’ve confused what ‘percentiles’ mean. To be in the 90th percentile means that you’re in the top 10% (higher than 90% of individuals your age) not in the bottom 10%.
@@BudoDave76 Yeah, lol. He only increased it 24% which could very well just be inter or even intraday variance if he didn't take the test at the exact same time.
Great video! A tip regarding cold showers is to focus on breathing normally. If you stress through a cold shower many benefits are lost. When you struggle with the pull ups, two kinds of people walk past: those who are better than you, and most of them will cheer you on and be happy to see others improve; Those who know they should be doing the same but who are lazy, and it is within this category of people you might find some haters. People who inspire me the most in everyday life working out are those who just started, even though it's more difficult to keep going, often, than to get started and soon after give up. The mothers to teen kids and the men around 60 and older are such a great inspiration and I hope they continue living up to who they see themselves being in a few years
Right? I thought the exact same. You see someone struggling that much and asking for your help, you'd have to be a really big douche to just cut their wings with your obvious superiority.
Bro, and I don’t know if the brother let him win, but if I was the brother, I would put in a consistent amount of effort, and if he started giving up, I would just rack up the score on him. If he started rallying, I would stay consistent. If he started beating me, same thing. It doesn’t do me any good to take risks, just to squeak out a victory. It doesn’t do him any good if I back off and let him win. He’s in a fight against himself, and he showed up for the competition, he’s going to get it. If he beats me, it’s because he successfully beat his own demons. However, you can be sure the next time out on the court. I’m gonna come back better than ever, and raise up the bar on the challenge. If he can manage to beat me again, he is truly worthy of that victory..
quote: "High fiber content is associated with low levels of free testosterone and increased HSBG levels. HSBG is a binding protein that inactivates free testosterone molecules." " high amounts of baked goods, especially bread and pastries. Dairy products and desserts were also associated with lower testosterone levels." But everyone says otherwise so up to each person to decide
Literally just deadlift heavy not even a lot, just a few heavy reps once a week. Swear to God, increases my libido, blood flow through the body is insane, literally everything is better. Ripping heavy weight off the ground just makes me feel like man.
bro forgot proper diet. Diet is 90% of testosterone boosting He say's that he's healthy but he drinks estrogen powder everyday instead of eating soft boiled eggs and meat.
i really enjoyed each and every part of this video , you not only worked off the camera but also worked really well on camera . keep it up man , well done
I really appreciate this video. I think it examines something much deeper that it can be really hard for men in particular to get to where they want to be in life but we often dont have support systems for it.
Many people who give up or suffer during exercise focus on what they are feeling at that moment physically. That's why having goals are important. I can completely wreck myself on a few sets of deadlifts but while I lie down and rest because my muscles are screaming I am smiling because I know that what I just did pulls me closer to my goal and that feels amazing. That's why tracking progress also keeps my motivation high because I can look at the graphs showing me my progress.
Bro what a video. I swear made me choke up. Amazing production and amazing storytelling. And I just resonate with your message of trying your best no matter what. Thanks for a great video you dude. Keep it up, you have definitely inspired me my brother.
I know it's all about story telling, and probably some facts might have been twitched to fit the narrative, but this video made me feel good for the guy. I hope not only you keep in track, but that you also be the inspiration for many others.
You’d get better results training heavier with basic movements like the barbell squat, deadlift, bench press, overhead press and keep the pull ups. Rather than use the band for pull ups do rest pause sets. If you can do a set of say 10 at once do a set of 5 and rest, then do another set of 5. Repeat for multiple rounds. Great way to get more reps with the same load with any movement and it kicks you ass. Also dump that AG1 or ANY super greens, super reds bull shit right in the garbage. Eat a balanced diet making sure to get plenty of protein and actual fruits and vegetables. If you’re going to use supplements use ones that actually help like extra magnesium, zinc, and combination vitamin D3 with vitamin K2 in it. Another great thing is fish oil. I like Barlean’s high potency. It comes in different flavors like key lime and you don’t taste any fish at all. It has tons of DHA and EPA which are fatty acids that are great for your immune system along with your heart and brain.
I was in your shoes a little while ago, and I totally feel for you. One thing that I found during my research was that chopping wood and splitting logs raises testosterone levels, granted it takes time, but after doing that for several weeks, consistently for 45minutes a day I started to feel better and more motivated. I didn't take a blood test to see it scientifically, but I can say for certain that I felt a lot better
@@Iamwrongbut ye prolly,i also saw that once and thought its just the fact that the men who chop wood first of all doit cause they have to, sweat their ass off with a decent workout and also feel the success and reward because their struggle gets rewarded with warmth etc. no wonder that theres a correlation. hell maybe even a causation
dudee, i started choping wood like a month ago for like 30 minutes a day and i also feel a general improvement in motivation. There's probably something to this that works.
I can completely relate myself to the concept of a lack of motivation after achieving your short-term goal and this video surely helped me how to overcome that. many thanks!!
It’s crazy that there was a physical difference. I’m not talking appearance. But his confidence, tone of voice, and mannerisms came off more confident. Awesome video.
Doing what you have to do despite not feeling like doing so by Day 20 was already a testament of your dedication. This is a huge turning point in your life. Always remember it as a special day in your life and how you overcame it despite your brain and body telling you to stop. Well done to you!
I opened this video thinking it will be the next debunking and downgrading on the words of Huberman. Boy was i wrong. This whole video was like a life experience and i resonated with every second of it. I believe most guys will see themselves in your initial comfort and then in your much needed struggle with life and growth. Earned a like and a subscribe for the good work bro, it makes me very happy to see open-minded people who are not afraid to show weakness and do not succumb to their innter voices of desperation but overcome them.
That was an incredible journey, thank you so much for sharing! Documenting and producing this content must have been a trip on it’s own above all that.
My favorite part was the day where you sat around til about 11, but still got up and got it done. It was after that day that you began to get competitive with the challenge. You also went and started looking for inspiration/advice from KB which was a sign of you putting in the mental work of how to overcome your challenge. It's all about small steps of growth like that building up overtime.
wonderful video, mate. I can see that transformation within the 30 days. Great job. Keep at it and thanks for sharing all of this. Very important topics
I don’t think you understand percentiles. 10th percentile means 90percent of people are higher than you. 90th percentile means only 10 percent of people are higher than you
if you see his marriage picture, I can literally tell by how hes sitting there that his test was better then, I suppose he did get complacement and soft so its really good that hes doing something about it.
No kidding, when he kicked off that challenge, you could totally see this dude was running low on T. He was all soft, physically and mentally and his way of talking and acting reflected that. But by the end of the video, he was a whole different man - none of that boyish stuff. Seriously impressive!
Great video, I’m glad you cared enough to do something….I’ve never seen your channel before but I’m going through almost the exact same thing. I’m proud of you homie
IMO, it's better to do "real pull ups" than banded pull ups. I know the Dr said do 6x10. And you struggle doing 4 real reps unassisted. Work your way up there. First day. 1st set: 4 reps. Wait 10 minutes. 2nd set: 4 reps. Wait. 3rd set: 3 reps. Wait. 4th set: 1 rep. Next day or next 2 days rest. Next pull up day, you'll get more reps out of each set. Rinse and repeat. The next day you adding more reps and so on. You're better off that way in the long run.

You know the things in life, that you would do whatever happens? You have the flu? You would still do it. 2 hours of sleep? You would still do it. An example of this could be picking up your young kid from school. Even if I broke my leg, if no one else could help me I would still find a way to do it. To me that thing is “work”. If I say I will do something, I will delivery no matter what. So I trick myself that I promised a client I would do it (whatever it is, working out, taking a cold shower every day or stop biting my nails). For some reason this really works for me.

I think this a great start to a series that will go viral. That three month blood test video, I instantly started looking for from you.
Also just FYI the average total Testosterone is just that, an AVERAGE range that men's T levels fall under, not the number that is actually optimal for health.
If you want a more optimal range, instead of seeing it as 120-520 being "normal" it should really be more like 520-1200.
The problem is, as men's T levels continue to decline over recent generations the "average" range keeps dropping.
You actually really should consider going on TRT if you haven't already and you're still not feeling optimal.
With all of the toxins and Testosterone nuking lifestyle habits in todays world I would say most men will probably need TRT at some point in their lives.
I just found your channel so I'll keep up with your journey on this if you've made anymore content about it. Keep up the good work!

If he beats me, it’s because he successfully beat his own demons. However, you can be sure the next time out on the court. I’m gonna come back better than ever, and raise up the bar on the challenge. If he can manage to beat me again, he is truly worthy of that victory..
quote: "High fiber content is associated with low levels of free testosterone and increased HSBG levels. HSBG is a binding protein that inactivates free testosterone molecules."
" high amounts of baked goods, especially bread and pastries. Dairy products and desserts were also associated with lower testosterone levels."
But everyone says otherwise so up to each person to decide
Yeah, that quote would mean so much more if you cited your source.
This was a great video for this morning, awesome editing and storytelling
Discipline is much better than motivation but both is even better
To be humble is a superpower and you got plenty! Thank you for the humble and good content
This was a great video man, keep going, never give up and keep inspiring people to do their best!
I appreciate it!
Yes. I was so excited watching your determination. It’s contagious ❤
Dude, I’m not a man but I am so happy for you! Seeing you better you self it’s so encouraging. I hope you kept up with it.
Literally just deadlift heavy not even a lot, just a few heavy reps once a week. Swear to God, increases my libido, blood flow through the body is insane, literally everything is better. Ripping heavy weight off the ground just makes me feel like man.
Really appreciate how vulnerable he was willing to be in this video. That takes a lot of strength of character 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
bro forgot proper diet.
Diet is 90% of testosterone boosting
He say's that he's healthy
but he drinks estrogen powder everyday instead of eating soft boiled eggs and meat.
estrogen powder?
i really enjoyed each and every part of this video ,
you not only worked off the camera but also worked really well on camera . keep it up man , well done
I really appreciate this video. I think it examines something much deeper that it can be really hard for men in particular to get to where they want to be in life but we often dont have support systems for it.
8:33 When effort feels good, life just gets better! Damn!🙌🏻
Got more than I expected with this video, thanks for that and congrats on the journey.
Many people who give up or suffer during exercise focus on what they are feeling at that moment physically. That's why having goals are important. I can completely wreck myself on a few sets of deadlifts but while I lie down and rest because my muscles are screaming I am smiling because I know that what I just did pulls me closer to my goal and that feels amazing. That's why tracking progress also keeps my motivation high because I can look at the graphs showing me my progress.
Bro what a video. I swear made me choke up. Amazing production and amazing storytelling. And I just resonate with your message of trying your best no matter what. Thanks for a great video you dude. Keep it up, you have definitely inspired me my brother.
Dang, thank you so much!!
@@GoalGuys pleasure. Sorry for a million typos lol.
Good job man. So proud of you.
I know it's all about story telling, and probably some facts might have been twitched to fit the narrative, but this video made me feel good for the guy. I hope not only you keep in track, but that you also be the inspiration for many others.
It's quite shocking how few people know about book called "Secret Testosterone Nexus of Evolution"
It's quite shocking how many different videos you leave this same exact comment 😅👍
This is total scam, you can find all the "secrets" for free, online - just do your research. Yes, I bought it.
@@JoeyBeeFit Thank god he did. A man that preaches good content
Thank you. I will read it.😊
You’d get better results training heavier with basic movements like the barbell squat, deadlift, bench press, overhead press and keep the pull ups. Rather than use the band for pull ups do rest pause sets. If you can do a set of say 10 at once do a set of 5 and rest, then do another set of 5. Repeat for multiple rounds. Great way to get more reps with the same load with any movement and it kicks you ass. Also dump that AG1 or ANY super greens, super reds bull shit right in the garbage. Eat a balanced diet making sure to get plenty of protein and actual fruits and vegetables. If you’re going to use supplements use ones that actually help like extra magnesium, zinc, and combination vitamin D3 with vitamin K2 in it. Another great thing is fish oil. I like Barlean’s high potency. It comes in different flavors like key lime and you don’t taste any fish at all. It has tons of DHA and EPA which are fatty acids that are great for your immune system along with your heart and brain.
Yo how much fishoil do you take? Tablespoon?
Your storytelling and filmmaking ability , 10000/10
Thank you so much!
you did a great job telling the story. glad I happened upon your channel. keep up the good work and thank you
I was in your shoes a little while ago, and I totally feel for you. One thing that I found during my research was that chopping wood and splitting logs raises testosterone levels, granted it takes time, but after doing that for several weeks, consistently for 45minutes a day I started to feel better and more motivated. I didn't take a blood test to see it scientifically, but I can say for certain that I felt a lot better
45 minutes? I don’t think it’s the chopping of wood but just the fact that you’re doing a super hard workout multiple times a week
@@Iamwrongbut ye prolly,i also saw that once and thought its just the fact that the men who chop wood first of all doit cause they have to, sweat their ass off with a decent workout and also feel the success and reward because their struggle gets rewarded with warmth etc. no wonder that theres a correlation. hell maybe even a causation
dudee, i started choping wood like a month ago for like 30 minutes a day and i also feel a general improvement in motivation. There's probably something to this that works.
Getting outdoors and doing a hard, rewarding workout is a great thing to do.
Any workout longer than 40 minutes switches something in our bodies that we become better :)
Man, this video was really inspiring! I like how you filmed it all ups and downs, keep it up! ❤
I can completely relate myself to the concept of a lack of motivation after achieving your short-term goal and this video surely helped me how to overcome that. many thanks!!
It’s crazy that there was a physical difference. I’m not talking appearance. But his confidence, tone of voice, and mannerisms came off more confident. Awesome video.
Bravo, we are very proud of you!
Inspired a lot after watched the full video, 1 year since you uploaded it, thanks man for sharing
proud of you man,,,,great content
Keep it up man! It’s great to see men getting after it and getting better each day!
Doing what you have to do despite not feeling like doing so by Day 20 was already a testament of your dedication. This is a huge turning point in your life. Always remember it as a special day in your life and how you overcame it despite your brain and body telling you to stop. Well done to you!
I opened this video thinking it will be the next debunking and downgrading on the words of Huberman. Boy was i wrong. This whole video was like a life experience and i resonated with every second of it. I believe most guys will see themselves in your initial comfort and then in your much needed struggle with life and growth. Earned a like and a subscribe for the good work bro, it makes me very happy to see open-minded people who are not afraid to show weakness and do not succumb to their innter voices of desperation but overcome them.
This was my fav video to watch in a long long time. Good stuff man
Man, that's actually so wholesome. You did it!! Kinda proud of you ngl
I'm hoping to do this exact same thing and I'm in the middle of it right now, and seeing you do and stick with it is inspiring. Thanks man!
Ohhhh Goshhhh!!! You are SO INSPIRING!!! Respect maaannn!!! Total RESPECT!!!
This video was so beta, it lowered my test.
You nailed it... this dude is limp wristed
Wish him the best tho
Haha 💯
Probably you already have low testosterone...
Low T comment… get a life.
Cool people saw you working on your pull-ups and were impressed by your efforts !
I have so much respect for this guy, just look at the journey behind the journey he went through
Great video!!! good job on the music placement as well!!
That was an incredible journey, thank you so much for sharing! Documenting and producing this content must have been a trip on it’s own above all that.
So DAMN proud watching this. Immediately subscribed once the video was over. Holy shit! Let's go!!!!
My favorite part was the day where you sat around til about 11, but still got up and got it done. It was after that day that you began to get competitive with the challenge. You also went and started looking for inspiration/advice from KB which was a sign of you putting in the mental work of how to overcome your challenge. It's all about small steps of growth like that building up overtime.
wonderful video, mate. I can see that transformation within the 30 days. Great job. Keep at it and thanks for sharing all of this. Very important topics
Your take on the layup is on point my boy
good for you, brother. great to see you optimistic and working to improve!
I don’t think you understand percentiles. 10th percentile means 90percent of people are higher than you. 90th percentile means only 10 percent of people are higher than you
☝️ This
You did a really good job editing this video!
if you see his marriage picture, I can literally tell by how hes sitting there that his test was better then, I suppose he did get complacement and soft so its really good that hes doing something about it.
No kidding, when he kicked off that challenge, you could totally see this dude was running low on T. He was all soft, physically and mentally and his way of talking and acting reflected that. But by the end of the video, he was a whole different man - none of that boyish stuff. Seriously impressive!
You literally earned subscribers who are trying to become like you🔥🔥
Andrew Huberman recommends Tonkat Ali ( long jack) and Fadogia Agresta to increase Test. I’m 49 and have tried both, worked for me.
Great video, I’m glad you cared enough to do something….I’ve never seen your channel before but I’m going through almost the exact same thing. I’m proud of you homie
Man 😎 is back keep motivating keep pushing
IMO, it's better to do "real pull ups" than banded pull ups. I know the Dr said do 6x10. And you struggle doing 4 real reps unassisted. Work your way up there. First day. 1st set: 4 reps. Wait 10 minutes. 2nd set: 4 reps. Wait. 3rd set: 3 reps. Wait. 4th set: 1 rep. Next day or next 2 days rest. Next pull up day, you'll get more reps out of each set. Rinse and repeat. The next day you adding more reps and so on. You're better off that way in the long run.
Shut up, Siri! Haha! That was golden and everything about this video was relatable.
Happy that you are improving yourself man good job !
Good content man. Keep going!
lol AG1.. the ultimate pyramid scheme.
Wait, is it really a pyramid scheme or MLM? I've never actually seen any confirmation of that.
How so
@@Thickrick004super greens are just bullshit useless supplements. Just eat some vegetables for crying out loud. Pretty much every supplement is a scam.
Curious, how?
When you get people to use your code you make money. It's just green soup, there's no actual scientific proof it does anything at all other than make you poorer.... Unless you promote it of course. Hence why it's so promoted by athletes on RUclips.. It just makes financial sense. Search for James Smith AG1 to find out more
The storytelling and editing are spectacular. Of course, congrats on your progress.
This vid was inspiring and uplifting. Great editing too. Bravo❤
Great story line, story telling and amazing videi editing
RUclips algo failed at recommending me this video and I watch Huberman! Sucks I had to go to your channel to see the video!
Well done buddy, well done. Proud to see your success.
How the heck is this video so relatable , so natural? Actually feeling happy for you now.
One of the greatest videos I’ve ever seen ❤
I feel you man, this is giving me lots of motivation
That’s a fine job; story telling wise! Congrats on the edit!
Oh man that's so inspiring! I almost like watching a movie. I am proud of you man. Keep it up!
stay strong and dont fall of the wagon. Keep working out.
This video gave me so much motivation to just keep going thank you
That was so inspirational. Thank you for sharing.
Congrats on getting average! Your face looks more full and vibrant even after one month! Killed it.
One will always find his way to a better life sooner or later
Happy for you brother!
Turned off at the AG1 athletic greens advertisement... Do the research lol
Whats up with it
Search for it and find out
You know the things in life, that you would do whatever happens? You have the flu? You would still do it. 2 hours of sleep? You would still do it.
An example of this could be picking up your young kid from school. Even if I broke my leg, if no one else could help me I would still find a way to do it.
To me that thing is “work”. If I say I will do something, I will delivery no matter what.
So I trick myself that I promised a client I would do it (whatever it is, working out, taking a cold shower every day or stop biting my nails).
For some reason this really works for me.
Keep pushing yourself even when "things get hard ."
Nice, i see what you did there
Please keep us updated on this!
Hell yeah brother! Dude was so excited to keep going
