Damn man, Ogus you don’t know how much you mean to me. When I first saw your videos I was in my first year of training. Seeing your videos inspired me to become a coach, and almost 8 years later I have a successful online coaching business, compete in powerlifting, and loving life. Glad to see you doing these videos man because without you I wouldn’t be where I am today.
Matt Ogus, the OG fit king always dropping those knowledge bombs on the boys. I learnt a shit tonne from Matt in terms of training, macronutrient tracking etc. The dude just has a smart approach to everything he does and the result is what you see. Glad to see you back bro and sick to see the LOA drop on the intro. Do what it is you love and the rest will follow.
love how much more real these videos are, pure training and intelligence coming from this. Rather than all this fake bullshit others are doing. Matt is more about feeling and looking good, than looking like a model and selling workout gear just because you have a pretty face
You must be young. I think it's safe to say that Matt's ultimate intent is selling something. That's why he is putting out videos. But he does it in a way that you get a lot of education out of it in the process. I think there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. In fact, I think that's how it should be. This is not charity, after all. There is always a motive behind these kinds of things. But there are a lot of people out there who equally enjoy watching non-educational videos, strictly for entertainment purposes. Nothing wrong with that either as long as you enjoy it.
@@melkam647 yes agree with you I like vlogs better than training sometime vlogs gives tips too and are help full. But if someone is a beginner they want educational vids that just need to go on other channels
Keep making videos, you are what got me serious into lifting and weight loss... at my lowest weight and best body ever i had to move and get a new job i gained it all back and more. I just started it back up again i couldn't remember your name so i just searched chipotle body builder lol. Anyway you just so happened to come back to youtube the same week i started working out again, i have also shaved my head since then. Hoping for more videos.
Glad to see you back! Your info and feedback to your audience is raw and real and I've always appreciated that. Nothing over the top, just very realistic. It's like you're our friend giving us advice and your perspective on things, so thank you Matt, and welcome back!
Ogus, I miss your vids bro. I grew up watching your videos. They gave me real guidance. I am older now and am not nearly as into the bodybuilding scene as I used to be. Just wanted to say thank you for keeping it real and helping me out. I hope the best for you man.
3 seconds into the video. Yep, this is getting a like. Time to eat my sweet potatoes and watch this video ! Oh, hey you reading this, don't forget to hit your protein goal today!!
You've been my go-to youtuber since 2011 and I havent seen any of yours or any other fitness channels because I stopped going to the gym for about 2-3 years after being consistent for about 6-7 years because of stress, stress leading to xanax abuse. I heard from my friends that you've been out of youtube due to some issues with life and I was shocked. I've been back at it for about 2 months surrounded by an awesome group of friends, some dated back from middle school. It's really nice to see you back! I hope we both continue to progress physically and mentally. Looking forward to it. PS: I still have the picture of my group with you and Chris at the Olympia back 2014 throwing up the Wu-Tang sign coz we were going to their concert that night!
Holy shit shit, Matt, it's been years since I was following you. You were the first one I saw. You had integrity, and it's great to see you still doing it. I broke my back and then blew out 8 disks, so I've been a prisoner in my own body, and in a crapload of pain, but I would not take the extended release morphine or fentanyl they wanted me to take because I need my mind. FINALLY, I tried a recumbent trike, and it's nothing short of miraculous. I'm out of my body prison after 12 years, and I am starting to get stronger. I wish you well. I'm glad you are not a steroid blown out freak. You are doing it right
No offence Matt, but I never understood how so many of you youtubers don't notice what grew their following in the first place. I used to love your vids because I felt like I was a part of your life (as creepy as that sounds). Shitty quality camera and just a tripod... But we'd constantly see all your working sets/progression in gym + hear you talk about your goals and progress. Then you'd get the same Chipotle and go home and sit down and talk to the camera often lol. Christian guzman is in the same boat. He got a huge following not from high quality, but from taking us into his life so consistently, and now he convinces himself all people want is some detailed mini film with high quality editing.... Less than 10% of the people watching fitness videos knows the difference in camera quality or even cares about cinematography
just adding that he had concrete visible goals before like competing in Matt Versus 1 and showing people what they would commonly deal with in competing and things like that ... that I think was probably the best fitness series ever in RUclips
@@gisticz Same. I wasn't even a big fan of Guzman in the first place but I'd watch a video of his sometimes then I tried to see what he was doing and I watched that mini film crap. It was unbearable to watch and I don't plan on watching that shit ever again.
Awesome to see you back, Matt. I forgot before the Daves, the Dylans, the Merijns, etc. I was watching your videos first. I somehow forgot that when I was just getting into doing basic dumbbell workouts I was watching your grocery hauls. Crazy, I wasn't really that into lifting yet but I loved watching your videos. Good to see you back on YT. Hopefully it's for good now.
first time commenting. This is just perfect! I gotta hit chest today and lo' and behold, Matt comes through. Thanks for coming back bro! Supporting you and your channel.
This content is great Matt. This actually teaches us things about lifting and is interesting and informative to watch. I don't need flashy edits in fitness youtube videos, I just wanna learn valuable info. If i want flashy edits I'll go watch a good action movie. Thanks for this content!
Matt you inspired me to actually not be an idiot when it comes to working out. I am forever grateful and glad to see you maintaining your gold standard consistency
Hyped bro! Do you, and enjoy yourself. Fuck everything else, you live for yourself not others. Do whatever makes you happy. These fitness youtubers been boring me getting all clickbaity and trying to be fancy. Glad to see you back.
Matt you are a fucking boss. No matter what anyone says. You’ve inspired me to push myself beyond a point I never thought I’d reach. Working out for me isn’t only for the physical achievements, it’s for the mental release. Doing these exercises is my way out. My way to get away from it all. Keep it up cuz, stay true to you.
Please, please.... make more of these and just continue posting the content you love to make. Been watching you since 2012-2013 and have missed your content so much recently.
Good to have you back breh.. One thing though. Your tricep kick back, is working essentially the same strength curve as a push down, you're just bent over. The tension is lowest at the peak contraction of the movement, due to the angle of the cable, just like in the standard pushdown. A dumbell would actual provide more tension at the peak of the movement, due to the direction gravity is working in. I've got a cool tip for you for hitting the long head.. Take the standard tricep rope pushdown, but take a few steps back so the angle the cable is pulling at, is further in front of you, forcing your long head to engage to keep the elbow down by the side. Let me know if you like it man, it changed my tricep game anyway.
Been watching your content since 2013. Your content is awesome, hell I even go back to your older videos just for motivation. Keep it up please! Shoutout from central cali! #thelegendisback
Glad to see you back my brother. Been watching you waaayyyy before "Ogis Cake"!!!! You helped me lift stronger, safer, and more efficient! Thank you for everything my man! Fellow Filipino here 🇵🇭 Miss the classic intro (Reminded you of Grandma) Sending you all the blessings! Positive vibes forever Matt!
Ogus is back! Followed you since 2011/2012. What kind of camera / lens / editing software are you using? Been trying to record some stuff with my phone but think I may need a wide-angle lens, or widER:) Please keep making videos, you've got people who appreciate you and your content. The OG of YT Fitness
Great to watch you back on RUclips you are one of my first athletes I started following when you were used to do vidoes with Jeff Seid Chris lavado and more 💪🔥
Ogus, You’ve been the sole reason why I started lifting. I used Your push, pull, legs template for years and still continue to reference them. Funny how we’re both using Mike Israetel’s principles now. Curious, are you still meditating?
Make more videos regarding how to build muscles, lose fat, diet, workouts ect... like you said! Make them! make them! make them! It will help tons of newbies. There is always going to be newbies coming along watching your stuff wanting to learn. It will make you happy and benefit you by gaining new followers/fans.

Pretty much the same here. But I did not compete, neither intend to do it.
Inspiring brotha 👊💯🔥
Juan Salgado oh hi buddy
Best video you've put out in years. This is why we followed you in the first place. THIS RIGHT HERE!
Good to see you back. The man that got me into fitness, and into calculating macros (best macro video out there). Can't wait to see more
Thanks so much for the support, man!

Matt provides an insane amount of value in videos man, and noticed the zero mention of pre workout powders. Thank you
Are my eyes deceiving me?! The RUclips gods heard our prayers and he’s back!
Those beginning stretches alone are gems for any lifter at any level... have to take care of those shoulders 👌
You're inspiring people because you inspired me. Focus on the positives and not your mistakes. That shit will drive you crazy.
Yes!!!!! The videos have returned! Matt you first showed me the Push/Pull/Legs Split and a different perspective of Macros & Fitness! Thanks
Glad to see you back! Your info and feedback to your audience is raw and real and I've always appreciated that. Nothing over the top, just very realistic. It's like you're our friend giving us advice and your perspective on things, so thank you Matt, and welcome back!
Remember you don’t need any of this to live a happy life. There is more to life.

Legend says he's moved on to 350 lb Tricep Extensions and lives somewhere in the Himalayan Mt. Range. Still clean bulking.
He gave up on life the day he fucked up with CJ.
Good old matt is back! Keep it going man. I loved your old videos dedicated and matt versus series, so Im so excited now! Thanks a lot!☺
it's crazy to see how much you've grown over the years. i'm definitely loving this badass mature mindset of yours
Been following you since my first year of training. Great to have you back, man!
I usually just like videos so I can go back and watch them again later. This gets a like just because I’m so pumped for Matt to be back!
I do that same shit I hate when the weights don’t match
How do you like being a dad? My son was born a year ago. They keep you busy for sure. Great to see you back man!
Are we getting Jones vs ogus on stage in 2020 ?
Jon Jones?? :D
Vince G
@@desmondeboh his referring to Chris Jones aka beast mode Jones.. They had a rivalry back in the golden era of fitness RUclips
Maybe 2021 Matt has lost a lot of size
@@ilikepiess2013 im big fan of both but I think Ogus will smoke Jones. Jones will take the back pose though. What you think?

it was so satisfying how genuinely pleased you were with those inclines.
I remember watching Matt's videos before I started lifting, having a physique that's not impossible to obtain naturally is true motivation
Keep it raw. Just like it should be.
