"There's no reason to be alive if you can't do deadlifts". I see people every day that are unhappy with their lives,they hate their job,they have settled for girlfriend they don't even fancy,they are hostile & envious towards anyone who displays any signs of achievement,regardless of how small-time. Who would want to live 90 years like these fucks? Give me 60 or 70 years of striving and going to bed tired and exhausted any day.
PERFECT timing! Going for a 530lb squat today in shitty walmart knee wraps & no belt. It'll be a 10lb pr in these knee wraps! This is great motivation! Nothing makes me feel more alive, than by lifting heavy!
Although I stopped watching this channel a while ago, I still come back every now and then for this one. This has to be one of you best videos Mark, thanks for it.
I don't use steroids, but the idea that natural lifters have nothing to learn from people on gear is one of the dumbest things I hear parroted online. People that use can still know WTF they're talking about, and can certainly have good insights into training, programming, technique, all that crap. Why the natty police freak out is beyond me.
People who claim to be natural tend to frustrate beginners trying to get bigger/stronger. But people who know their shit and don't claim to be something they are not, have tons of value they can offer. A lot of times, they have spend most of their careers as naturals too.
im so blessed to have met both the late greats, Dallas McCarver and Rich Piana, and Mark Bell, all at bodypower! True passion for what they did, and still do! This is living for a purpose!
We all make choices that hurt and help our health. You can't live in a bubble but can't mainline heroin everyday either to live a happy long life. Balance key to happiness and a long life. Mark your instructional videos on lifting are best I have seen on RUclips. Thanks.
You know, I`m not the type of person that needs "motivation" to do shit, and I usually don`t look for it, but I have to say this video helps me focus. I`ve been watching it on a daily almost since you uploaded it. Thank you Mark !
This is probably one of the best videos I have seen. Some people see it as 4 minutes of bullshit. But I think there's a lot of us that would agree how deep this all is. Let it kill you !
The amount of people misinterpreting the message in this video or taking it literally is appalling. Mark isn't advocating taking steroids out the womb, and he's not advocating leaving your family behind. He's simply saying that if you have a passion for something, devote serious time and effort to it and enjoy it to the fullest rather than half-ass it. "Let it kill you" is his way of putting it, it's not to say that everyone in the comment section should go on a cycle and start maxing out every day in the gym. Let a cool video be a cool video and stop looking for ways to complicate shit.
Smoking and drinking != steroids. The most common steroid Testosterone, is a hormone. I.E something natural your body already produces. This isn't going to poison body like alcohol and smoking can.
#1 TIP. NEVER START TAKING STEROIDS . I have done bodybuilding and powerlifting for about 5-6 years and have thought about taking steroids many times, but then I remind myself that it is simply not worth it to sacrifice 10-50 years of my already limited lifespan, and now I have to be on drugs for the rest of my life to see any improvements in the gym? I would like to be healthy & strong and still lifting weights when I'm 80 and not be in a grave when I'm in my 40's-50's like so many other steroid users.

Come back to us when you're 80, potentially by the time you're 60 you are far likely to die in an accident/get dementia/develop a mental health illness/die of cancer/suicide/have arthritis and be wheel chair bound and the list goes on. So whilst you're sat here like a potato with dreams of still lifting when you're 80 just remember life doesn't give a toss about what you want to do and tihs happens before you know it...so you might aswell do what makes you happy and stop living in this backwards thinking of "when I'm 80 I want so and so", be real
I'm a vegetarian and don't drink or smoke or eat unhealthy stuff, and live a stress-free life. it's called planning for the future it's pretty Common, you should try it. But if you want to live fast and die young that is all up to you, you do you.
Johansen1000 no wonder you want to make the best of this life, everyone knows vegetarians are going to hell. My roided out, creature-eating self is ganna be doing lunges through the golden gates of heaven while you are squabbling over beet-roots in the flames of eternity. Good mother-fucking day, God dammit!
It is what it is but I believe taking steroids is extremely selfish as well. When you are a person of influence leading by example, taking steroids and making videos others use as inspiration the mantra 'let it kill you' is overkill.
love ya mark. usually agree with you on most topics. but i gotta say, the "let it kill you or the do whatever it takes mentality" is selfish and short sighted. there is a middle ground.
stephen0327 It's funny, because I have noticed Mark Bell has probably done / given alot more to people than almost any and all other lifters could do. Alot of people over the years have cued in to him, and I've seen even more use his slingshots and other things. People that have nothing, and know nothing. But they know how to make up for that by being smart in the gym, and living that one part of there life. So I think he's done alot of good for people. Im a truck driver and have been to gyms in every state, I've seen all the types of Lifters and crowds etc. But that aside, I don't like his attitude. He's giving more of his opinion, and not the real truth. He talks about things kind of black and white. It isn't so black and white.
I mean it's cool and shit, but I don't like the message. You caring so much about being bigger stronger faster, to the point where you will happily dig an early grave really fucking sucks for your kids and your wife and your friends and family.
Most people are already digging an early grave by working at places they don´t like and with terrible eating habits. If you´re going to die, at least do what you love while you can...
Because it's not about who has better drugs, it's about who puts more work in. Steroids just open up the opportunity to grow beyond your limit, you still need to put a tremendous amount of work in to get there.
"Strength is never a weakness"? I agree. as long as you don't carry around too much weight and lessen your relative power much. But, whether you deadlift 250 kg or 300 kg makes no difference in your life whatsoever. I can pretty much guarantee that. Unless you're competing. And even then, prize money in strength sports is certainly nothing to cheer about. Nuttin' but a peanut! Better choose some other sport, if you want to make any kind of money.

Give me 60 or 70 years of striving and going to bed tired and exhausted any day.
I love watching that lift from WSM.
Jason Robson totally agree with what you said.may we both keep training and have goals to reach and let it kill us!
Still cant believe that i will never again get to browse the comment section of a fresh Piana video. All those ments lost like piss in rain. RIP Rich
someold blackguy we will always have bigger by the day
Right babe?
someold blackguy rip rich LOL
the comments are gone on old videos?
PERFECT timing! Going for a 530lb squat today in shitty walmart knee wraps & no belt. It'll be a 10lb pr in these knee wraps! This is great motivation! Nothing makes me feel more alive, than by lifting heavy!

Li am Hell yea! Just hit about 30 minutes ago! Gonna put the vid up on my instagram page later tonight.
congrats! whats your instagram bro?
Kevlon3292 my gram is bmoc888!
Nice! I'm shooting for around the same weight in about 7 weeks. Squat is the weakest of my 3 lifts so I need to bring it up.
Although I stopped watching this channel a while ago, I still come back every now and then for this one.
This has to be one of you best videos Mark, thanks for it.

I love the straight up honesty, rather than justifying lifestyle choices with bullshit. Do it because you love it and let it kill you.

We all make choices that hurt and help our health. You can't live in a bubble but can't mainline heroin everyday either to live a happy long life. Balance key to happiness and a long life. Mark your instructional videos on lifting are best I have seen on RUclips. Thanks.
Never done steroids, but I respect the hell out of you for this.

Rich let it kill him but before he killed it
mike lewis love it kill it
seth rich?
Let's give thanks to the OG who wrote that quote, Charles Bukowski.
Out of all of the rich and dallas tribute videos, this is by far the best one ive seen!
Maybe my favorite super training video ever
Glad this is still here. I'm gonna do some funky download stuff to get it onto my phone, I'd like to save it
This is probably one of the best videos I have seen. Some people see it as 4 minutes of bullshit. But I think there's a lot of us that would agree how deep this all is. Let it kill you !
Still watch this every now and then, really nicely made vid. thanks
Amazing
I'm with you Mark!!

I wonder whats the name of the song playing in the background ?
Thanks to you im going to try a 10 000 kilo bench. I have 20 guys who will lift the bar for me then they will back off i think i can do it
Mark, are you still getting the "pump" being on low carbs? I haven't felt a pump since i stopped eating pancakes....
''Find something that you love to do, and let it fucking kill you'' ummm does that mean I can do heroin?
yes yes you can if you so wish, my boy.
M7madDKA yup!
Every married man has found something they love and will let it kill them..
Wheres the new gym!
When i had my daughter i stopped smoking drinking and all that shit its selfish living this was as a parent in my opinion
Smoking and drinking != steroids. The most common steroid Testosterone, is a hormone. I.E something natural your body already produces. This isn't going to poison body like alcohol and smoking can.
ubersteiny im just saying steriod abuse drugs alcohol its all bad for us
I agree everything in moderation.
Where can I get a head band
Real shit.... definitely motivating
Word! Grate video
Its better to live fully than to have a long empty life.
That's a quote by Charles Bukowski
Fuck yeah!!
My workout nearly killed me today.
who is that at 2:24?
Rather die doing something I love than life doing NOTHING.
Amazing video guys, very motivational. But don't have motivation have a DRIVE!! Love the message guys!
scooop aaaaaaahhhhhh
Nooooo my son, when my back hurts I let it heal
Look young philippino Thunder

Than dying in my 80s doing what i hate
I fuckin love you dude! You're my Spirit Animal.
So it's true. None of these RUclips fitness experts have actual jobs.

Not that much. It really depends on which country you are living in.

Yea you can achive your goals with steroids but what is the point you never know who has better drugs
Who cares about what other people do? I would do steroids for my own satisfaction
