What's your height ? And Your Personal best lifts in bench , squat and deadlift . Also you're the best fitness channel I found even my gf knows bout ya !
Doing a particular movement 10 times to complete failure gives you a PUMP! And that pump you get makes you feel like a MAN! I can totally relate to that analogy, and have inwardly thought it many a time, as I've worked out for many a year. But this is the first time I've ever heard anyone come out and say it that way. You have this Open sort of honesty that just flows out verbally...I like that. Good to have you back!
Paul, you're Blessed and Unstoppable with God within!! Now you just have to become the calisthenics athlete you were meant to be and be a leader in the RUclips community.
i still remember when i started watching you at 2012 and i was just able to do 6 pul ups , and you man motivated me as hell man thats why i am able to do 40 pull ups today with good form . paul you are a real legend ! you gave me inspiration and motivation till today !! i loved the way you working out and doing pull ups muscle ups push ups . i own you a lot paul , please dont quit or give up again .. doesnt matter the reason . so so happy that you are back bro
I remember watching u in middle school u got me into all of this welcome back I hope ur feeling better mentally,less stressed and happier !! Missed ur vids
No it hasn't kicked in. I can max 20+ clean & proper pull ups, weighing around 175. Fortress is probably roughly around the same weight, give or take 10-15 pounds. The difference between us is that his strength/aesthetics are levels beyond me. If he kept working out for a month, he should at least double his stats. And I know his name really isn't Fortress.
keep up,when i started watching you i wasn't able even do 1 pullup,now im able to do 25-30 pullups,watching you... THANK YOU ! YOU will get in shape,just train 1 month and you will be able to do 30 pullups again,your body is awesome at calisthenics
Man soooo good to see you back! You were such an inspiration to me! Thanks to you, I've learned a lot about calisthenics. Like many things other people don't talk about and your videos always motivated me. Now I'm even doing my own videos now to motivate other people and hopefully help them one day. You never did something selfcentered, you were always helping and motivating so many people. I hope you won't see it that way anymore. I'm so excited for new videos from you and your progress. Would love to see more calisthenics content. Maybe something about what you still can or can't do anymore? That would be interesting. Keep pushing, you're such a warrior! All the best to you and your family and greetings from Germany!
Man, it's good to have you back. What i love about Paul's vids is the rawness and simplicity of it. Not much editing but who the fuck cares about those. What's been keeping me a fan of Paul is the way he teaches and how simple of a man he is. Doesnt give a damn even if he wipes his shirt to the poles, or do workout on the ground or wtv. We feel you Paul, started from the bottom, now you're on your way back to the top. Bring back the King bruh. We'll be supporting you from here on forward, just like the good ol days.
I never thought I would see you again, I'm more than happy after seeing you back to calisthenics , you are the guy who taught me most of the things I know now about it, Glad that you're back bro
Thank God you're back man. I kinda coincidentally went through a lot of the same stuff and took a whole fitness hiatus like you did, and you're really inspiring me to come back, I lost so much giving it up, and whilst it didn't automatically make me some super moral person, the discipline for sure helped me in other ways in my life, and my outlook was a lot more positive.
Bout time he’s back haha! I started watching you when I was first starting out getting in shape. So much motivation for me and still watching the old videos to this day! Start going ham and keep posting videos man!
Hey Fortress, I love your videos, they are so real with your values and I respect you a lot, keep making your wholesome content cause you're a really good role model and I relate to them a lot. All the best for your channel, really cool to see you back😁
He’s back! I’ve just started making some of my own training videos. Can’t believe you were the first account to get me into training in my teens. I hope all is well with you and your family! Thank you for inspiring me 🙏
I'm glad you're back! You're a big part of how I lost 40 pounds a couple years ago. I've put it all back on, unfortunately, but I am just now starting to get back into it and being serious with becomming healthier. I've got my first ever gym membership, too!
Cool to have you back, Paul! You were one of the first fitness channels I subscribed to on RUclips so long ago. You've always been super dedicated, so I"m sure you'll be back in top shape in no time :)
Fortress for life. Go glad he is back so i can finally learn and follow the legend. I first heard of the name in a Chris Heria video comment section from like 3 years ago but never knew who Fortress was. I am so proud to subscribe to this man -he does it right, so humble. God bless.
Had some health problems and injuries that caused me to let go of my training for a few years now and give up. In my late 20's now and have an ambition to get back in shape, but not only that but surpass anything I achieved in the past. Targets are good for the mind too, as sometimes after physical problems the mind is left in low state too. I have always liked your style of delivery and it is good to see you back. I'll be keeping up with your journey and while I may not be able to match what you acheive, it's not about that. We all have our own targets and journeys, it's great to get inspiration and advice form someone I see as a down to Earth and logical guy. The comments in this channel tend to be positive and reasoned, which shows what a good audience you can attract too.
I started working out because of you. It was 9 years ago. I've seen your first ever youtube videos too, they were not workout related. It's been a while. Happy to see you back.
When I started following you on RUclips you were already strong and in shape giving videos on how to do those advance skills or movements and now you’re out of shape trying to get back into shape and we can learn with you as you get back to how you were. Glad you’re back bro good video 💪🏽🤙🏽
I remember watching your early videos... I love your stuff... Your workouts inspired me. I'm so happy you're back and your pullups look so clean. I'm looking forward to seeing more videos from you
Glad you are back. First place i really started getting workout advice. The pull-ups were all I did for a while and it got me doing muscle ups and into rock climbing and such. Thanks
Wow! Good to see u back posting again. I remember looking at ur videos when u just started and I knew nothing about exercising. They definitely helped me. Was living in Trinidad then, and have since moved to Toronto where I live close to 2 workout parks. I got myself some gymnastics rings to challenge myself and have been making some good progress. Keep posting!
I really hope you consider bringing your MyFortress channel back at some point or another. You taught me so much not only here, but from speaking and sharing your faith on that channel. You truly brought me closer to fitness, my own body, and god. For that, I will forever thank you.
Man I just discovered your channel it's a piece of art, I hope you do well in everything you propose, get ahead and continue training, I admire you and hopefully you continue with your way of seeing the world and the good advice of a few years ago . Greetings from Colombia
Glad to see you in good health. Right now Im training for one arm pull doing 5-6 sets of 5 of assisted grabbing my forearm. Never give up. Never surrender.
Its really motivating to see u eorkou having a good body then just quitting and having a normal body snd then go on back to train again. Its inspiring and shows we all human
I first started working out 4 years ago the start of my high school years after I saw your top 3 body weight exercises for biceps. I have actually come really far and got inspiration because of you. Thank you
I used to watch your videos a couple of years ago. During a time when I was at my peak performance, I looked up to you for inspiration. I watched you progress in your life and reassess your priorities, I was happy for you when you got married, I admired that you never approached training with the prevailing shallowness of vanity or eagerness towards superiority. Instead you spoke about your faith, and that gave you substance and credibility in my eyes. And now I found you again, and we're both training in the shadow of the strength we once reached. I used to be driven towards pushing my limits, these days I believe it takes humility and the courage to act from where I stand now; putting a healthy distance between me and where I remember I once stood. It isn't worse at all, on the contrary it feels more grounded, more humble, and that has always been at the core of I sought from training. I'm glad to see you doing well. I look forward to our progress.
Mehdi Amine But what’s negative about pushing your physical limits? We are not made to stand on one place. You can push your limits but still be humble. It’s not about what you personally archive and can show to the world - it’s also not about showing to yourself what you can archive and boast about it - it’s about being a better version of yourself everyday (spiritually by avoiding past mistakes, physically by breaking your yesterday limit) for the sake of god and his creation. We are not fish swimming with the stream, we are alive, swimming against the stream, physically and mentally. Being alive means growing. (Speaking in a Christian sense).
great to see you back Fortress, 6 years ago your videos took me from seeing guys like Hannibal and being interested to actually getting into calisthenics.
Glad to see you posting again man! Love your videos and have been watching since I was a teen. At 26 years old, I too am trying to get back in proper shape lol. Keep killin it my guy!
Glad to see you back bro. Im 22 now and about to have a family. I remember when i was in high school watching your videos. Heck even your wedding (livestream didn't work😪). Keep up the good work. God bless you brother.
Keepp uploading! Document all your jworkouts again and make it like a COMEBACK series. Would love to see videos by videos on how you gain back all of your strength. And welcome back Paul!
I cant believe my eyes i thought you were gone for good, you are the guy who inspired me to start doing pull ups and calisthenics when i was 13 i am now 20 and would of never got to where i am without you, glad to see you back Paul its a breath of fresh nostalgic air to say the least. Keep the videos coming :)
WOW MAN! Thank you so much for such kind words. I'm SO grateful for the opportunity to impact people's lives. I believe in you man! JUST BE KIND, CONSISTENT, AND ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT YOU WORKING TOWARDS SOMETHING IN YOUR LIFE. And I'm also planning to post videos at least once a week!!
Hello Pavel, Thank you for coming back. I remember when you started in your earlier videos you were very big. Bro, you look good. We all miss you. Like you’ve said before, Bodyweight and Calisthenics exercises will get you big. Your muscle hypertrophy will come back quickly. Keep it up. Thanks, Chris.
Paul! Continuity with you past is a good thing! Your matter-of-fact remark, that muscle failure might require two or three SETS, was new to me. Congratulations, and best wishes!

Thanks guys, I feel like I have the most positive audience on RUclips!
What's your height ? And Your Personal best lifts in bench , squat and deadlift . Also you're the best fitness channel I found even my gf knows bout ya !
Will you shoot russian version of your videos?
Thank you for coming back!!
I thought you left gym since last exercise vid...
Paul que bien que estás de regreso. Tus videos realmente me han inspirado. Saludos desde México.
One of the true RUclips fitness OGs
That's for sure !
Yup agree. most of the fitness channel today talk alot of nonsense in their contents.
that's it, the more they talk, the more we get confused
💯💯💯
It’s literally the best thing in the world to see Paul back, but it’s also kind of weird to see him actually struggling
Gave birth to a son, build a house, now is the time to be creative (on RUclips), and health! How glad we are, Pasha, to see you back 🙂
Yo this is crazy, when I was in high school your videos are what first got me into calisthenics. Welcome back bro!! 🙌
Lmao same I was like 13, now I'm almost 21 and never got in shape hahaha
big facts
same
@@Spidr-Man shit happens bro never too late huh
Same
Yeaaahhhh the guy who made me start doing pull ups is finally back! Love to see you here again Paul
Nicolas Keefe facts!!!
Doing a particular movement 10 times to complete failure gives you a PUMP! And that pump you get makes you feel like a MAN! I can totally relate to that analogy, and have inwardly thought it many a time, as I've worked out for many a year. But this is the first time I've ever heard anyone come out and say it that way. You have this Open sort of honesty that just flows out verbally...I like that. Good to have you back!
Paul your the greatest example of physical and spiritual fitness
Paul, you're Blessed and Unstoppable with God within!!
Now you just have to become the calisthenics athlete you were meant to be and be a leader in the RUclips community.
so happy you’re back. I totally relate to what you said about being broke and doing bodyweight! thanks so much for coming back!
one of the OGs and probably one of the last few naturals on fitness youtube.
i still remember when i started watching you at 2012 and i was just able to do 6 pul ups , and you man motivated me as hell man thats why i am able to do 40 pull ups today with good form . paul you are a real legend ! you gave me inspiration and motivation till today !! i loved the way you working out and doing pull ups muscle ups push ups . i own you a lot paul , please dont quit or give up again .. doesnt matter the reason . so so happy that you are back bro
Post a video with 40 pull ups without a break then.

2013 I learned calisthenics from u man big ups 🔥
"I'm waiting for muscle memory to kick in"
Man you just banged out 15 pull ups clean. I think it already has ahaha
No it hasn't kicked in. I can max 20+ clean & proper pull ups, weighing around 175. Fortress is probably roughly around the same weight, give or take 10-15 pounds.

Stoked to see you back Paul!
I think doing negatives is really a great way to exercise... 👍💪✌️🤗 WELCOME BACK!!!
I used to watch your videos a couple of years ago. During a time when I was at my peak performance, I looked up to you for inspiration. I watched you progress in your life and reassess your priorities, I was happy for you when you got married, I admired that you never approached training with the prevailing shallowness of vanity or eagerness towards superiority. Instead you spoke about your faith, and that gave you substance and credibility in my eyes.
And now I found you again, and we're both training in the shadow of the strength we once reached.
