Look at will man so inspirational

I love how another well established creator drops the most generic comedic comment lol

Wow, what a video, what a story, what an accomplishment. You did it Will and I am so freaking proud to be your mom! You never wavered, gave 110% effort every single day even when it would have been so much easier to quit. You deserve every bit of this success and I am humbled to be a part of it. Thank you. Best son ever, I’m going to put my name on that 🥇❤
You've raised an outstanding young man. ❤❤❤

Wow, that last line should be a movie quote, beautiful call back, and a truly great line.
this is crazy, here im sitting.

Nothing but the greatest respect from my side. truly inspirational!

Good people love to see others thrive it’s ur nature brother no problem with it at all
nah u soft
That “are you going to put your name on it” speech was so inspirational.
Only If you have a low IQ. Daily homework for kids is absolutely useless and a waste of time. (And before you respond with something asinine, I have a masters in economics)
It takes a lot for me to get that feeling but that got me good. If I didn’t do 3 hours of legs and chest earlier I’d have got my right back up to do some more 🤣
🥇
Wow ...... I read your comment, then that came up in the video for me a couple minutes later.
That is an awesome anecdote/concept. I have taught math at a university for over ten years now, mostly freshmen, and it makes me want to share that part of the video with them bc so many of them turn in half-ass work whereas I was raised to always do my best in my work and it always frustrates me that they don't gaf about how they approach their courses. And I feel like at the college level, they need to take pride in doing college-level work.
But as Will is describing, it can and should apply to any aspect of your life too! Love it and i need to still remind myself of it too.
Also .. go will's mama !! 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 raised her boy right
Crazy how you can be so proud of someone you don’t know
Right?! I sobbed im ngl. Im on this path myself and i started later in life admittedly im 29 and pretty much just started but this hit so hard man

@tanelviil9149 you have no idea what you're talking about
Massive respect for the older guy. Dude is out there doing what he loves regardless of opinions 👏
Respect? No. It's incredibly disrespectful to both the sport and the other competitors to get on stage when you haven't actually put in the effort.
@@Aftershock416goals and achievements are very personal. You dont know where he started and the efforts made to get to that point.
@@Aftershock416exactly. No participation trophies in this sport. Dont get up there if you arent even able to compete

Respect to the older guy on stage with you, glad to see he's still getting at it and keeping himself in shape!
That older guy was killing it!!! Most wish they would be near that shape or have that confidence at that age.
That guy was awesome! What a king
I noticed that. Takes guts to compete with some who may a couple decades younger.
@@napajames68 Most people wish they would be near that shape at 30 lets be real. We're all kinda jaded by being in the gym so often and mostly seeing really fit ppl
I'm really surprised he wasn't in a masters division. Seems a little odd to have a senior in a 10 year drug free comp. You get serious loss of muscle definition at 40+ without Test or anything. Its almost unfair.
The audio effect of muting one side of the headphones while Will was putting his Airpods was such a good little detail
was about to say the same
I thought my headphone went out at first
i just came here to comment the same thing!
it was so satisfying
I noticed that too!
It’s kinda funny how I started watching you just for the laughs and your crazy challenges-but now here I am, watching you give a motivational speech, and it really hit me. That was amazing. You've honestly inspired me to start my fitness journey and just keep pushing to be a better version of myself. You're the definition of a real influencer-someone who actually inspires people. I’m so glad I found your channel. It’s been my little escape whenever life gets overwhelming. Whenever I’m feeling down or stressed, I just hop on RUclips and watch your videos, even the old ones, and they always lift my mood. I’m seriously proud of how far you’ve come. You 100% deserve all the success you have right now. Thankyou for being my hero, Will. Much love from the Philippines.
I will now forever remember "No matter what you do, big or small, be proud to put your name on it." Great real talk segment that a lot of people need to hear. Also congrats!
Same. I thought that was brilliant and will be taking that with me from this video!

I had tears in my eyes when he related that story. What a beautiful lesson for us all. 🫶👏
I wasn't expecting that at all but it was great
It will really set you apart from all the chatgpt using int students, too lol
Almost teared up watching a grown man I don't know personally compete in a thong. Never thought I'd see the day. Congrats man, it's beyond deserved. I'm 5 pounds away from losing 100 in a year with 6 weeks to go, and much of the credit goes to you. Can't thank you enough for sharing your story, your tips, and your energy. Never stop.
yea but i hope he gainss a lot of weight back when this is done. dude's face is so gaunt he looks like he just got released from a siberian gulag.
I feel you , I got emotional just watching him eat doughnuts at the end for some reason. I was so happy for him lol.
that's awesome!

too bad real life doesnt work that way. wasting your time and energy on useless homework doesnt give any measureable results
@BULD0SIS that's not true at all. When you actively choose to do that consistently for years and years (starting in kindergarten through twelfth at LEAST) it does pay off. You end up truly learning more when you put your best into it in every way you can. The students who do so almost always end up excelling and being incredibly wise and knowledgeable
@@bekanimal yes in an imaginary world this would be cool. in a real scenario like work, the guy doing his best when nobody is looking still gets surpassed by someone who does nothing unless bossman is watching and kiss ass. thats literally how it works. i dont make the rules. the world is dogshit. its just what it is

I’ve never commented on a RUclips video in my life, but Will, you are a fucking beast.
The most impressive thing by far, is how you’ve single handedly proven that it’s possible to navigate your way through such a toxic sport without becoming toxic yourself.
Incredible.
A few months ago my 24 year old son told me that he had been watching your videos and that you were the one that he follows and takes 'guidance' from. I could not have been happier...I've been watching your videos for years and the consistency and commitment to remaining true to yourself is inspiring and encouraging...across multiple generations. So the 52 year old dad and the 24 year old son both say thank you...and keep giving us the fuel to feed our fires.

Everyone looked great but your conditioning and posing was on a completely different level. Truly inspirational Will. You're a legend.
Everyone looked great? OK...
@@yianpap6093 Right? 2 of them looked like me and I barely workout anymore 😬 for sure was not rdy to compete
DON'T BE FATALISTS!
Now imagine if a large percentage of humanity applied this same discipline that involves taking care of a body that has an "expiration date" in heaven, molding their character and lifestyle according to the words of Jesus Christ: "I am the way, the truth and the life." "Whoever follows me will never die."
What other purpose is there in life other than this, to love as Jesus loved, to live as Jesus lived?
how is it inspirational? Will is in a extremely privileged position that give enormous reward for the work he puts in, of course Will is going to be disciplined and motivated. The issue is that the vast majority will never be in a position like Will, this is of course the elephant in the room.
@@Danuxsy Really can't just let people be happy, can you? I suppose misery loves company.
Will i have been following you for many years and i just wanted to say you are such an inspiration to me. Be proud of yourself, i know you are, but i still want to tell you. I’m having a competition soon and your words made me feel less lonely, made me feel braver. Thank you.❤

Had a great time competing with you! As a younger competitor I was debating doing a class other than classic physique but seeing you jump into bodybuilding was all the motivation I needed. Thank you for using your platform to keep this journey real and transparent. Wishing you good health with the recovery from the show and looking forward to hearing about your reflections on these next few months! 🙏
You guys are so wholesome. You're what makes the best part about bodybuilding. The comradery, the support, the commitment, this made me emotional. Seeing everyone backstage together for me was the most beautiful part
@@Jayvee8633 Of course, we've all been through our own struggles to get on that stage! I'm glad us backstage could represent the sport well :)

Wills message to young lifters is absolutely inspiration and such great message to tell us it takes time hardworking and consistency. Truly he inspire all the young natural lifters
Your quote from your last video “if you’re not gonna show up for yourself, show up for your family” has kickstarted me back into health and fitness. I have a newborn baby girl and want to be healthy for her and my wife! Thanks Will for the inspiration
There’s no better reason to show up! Some people think it’s selfish to work out and look after yourself - it’s actually the best thing you can do for those you love. Best of luck with your journey!

I'm so happy that you won, dear Will. You put so much work for this competition that you deserved to win. You're such an inspiration for me 💪💪💪🤗❤️
Congratulations
I'm used to these videos being consistently excellent and and now I know why. Great fucking speech! You put your name on it!
I know you probably won’t see this, but 5 years ago I was overweight and had no self confidence. I started watching your videos got addicted to the gym and built a pretty good physique and shredded for 17 years old. People started respecting me and it’s because of your videos and the advice I took. Now I am graduating college next Saturday with tons of friends a great physique and despite my fraternity and everything I have hit the gym every day hungover or not and ate healthy and balanced and now I am graduating with a 4.0 tons of friends and an amazing physique. I started my journey with you 5 years ago and I cannot believe it. You deserve everything will congratulations!
GG brother
I’m so proud of you. Go crazy!!!!!
The fact that Will chose Cliff Wilson, arguably the best natural bodybuilding coach on the planet instead of a social media famous enhanced coach, shows how serious he was about this competition.
I dunno why but this is such a silly take
Sure, sure. We’ll see how bad the competition rebound is going to be. That peak week regimen he had him on was archaic, unnecessary, and dangerous. Will is a beast despite his shitty coach.
And also how much money he has at his disposal
@@dhaj5798 what would you have done, wise guy?
Still think he should have got coach Greg
No social media fitness influencer deserves this more than will. I always tell my girlfriend he’s the most wholesome, funny, charismatic, & knowledgeable authentic natural bodybuilder to watch when she catches me watching his videos. in a social media world full of fakes inauthentic people, will is a huge breathe of fresh air. Congrats king 👑 🍾
I agree. I am not that much into fitness, but I actually enjoy watching Will's videos because he feels authentic and he's hilarious. Good job Will on achieving one of your dreams!
You’re choking on it bro

I average about 1 comment on youtube every 3-4 years. Had to comment on this though. Your video made me feel different to all the other 1000's of hours of content I must get through. Thank you so much for sharing your story, I love how real this journey has been, you are a remarkable example of where discipline and hard work can take you, well done and great job.
No disrespect intended to your competitors, who had some impressive physiques, but i am blown away by the distance you had between them. True domination. Happy to have been along for the ride.
@@Pm-jf2mw Steroids
yeah, he was only one from first group who had muscle string definition on his chest
100% agree! The meme “you know [X] hate to see me coming” in real life, X being fellow competitors
Ya, it was a pretty decisive win.
When I was watching I was wondering what was going through the competitions heads seeing Will, and how much better his physique was? Would they have attributed to his fame, and income, or hard work? *"Ya well if I had a youtube channel with millions of followers I could afford the best coach, food and could dedicate myself to this.. I still had to go to work, and take care of my damn kids, while this dude sat around a penthouse."*
Or would they be thinking *"Dann, dude killed it, no wonder he is so successful."*
I did think that a few of the other competitors in the heavy weight class had equal to or some i slightly prefer (extremely slim margins) on some specific areas. But overall, will is like no.1 by far as he is either the no. 1/2 for each muscle group
I know I will never be part of the body building community. But I wanted to thank you for giving me the courage to change my life. I was 675 lbs. I was very sick and nearly dead. I have just reached 300 lbs. which is over half my body weight, I used the gym, diet with a licensed dietician, and therapy. You showed me in this journey of yours that you are never too late. I am saddened that people accuse you of steroids, like they do me with Ozempic and other shots. I lost weight the natural and hard AF way... you inspired me as a subscriber for my journey to get back into that gym and get healthy. It is what my mom would want for me (she died of brain cancer 5/24/24). Congratulations on your win and pro-status. You are an inspiration to me because you helped me realize getting healthy was a choice. So thank you for being you.
wow that's such an amazing transformation mate
you're an inspiration ❤
Incredible!!! Thank for sharing and so proud of you! Sorry for your loss, she would have been incredibly proud!💙💪🏽
I am so proud of you! You've done something that most people can't, a big change. Please keep doing the thing and if you have setbacks, don't let it deter you, just get back on it, you got this ❤💪 I am very sorry for your loss, what a beautiful way to remember her by taking care of yourself ❤
Congrats on this and keep going. I was 320 and my doctor, it was the first time I saw "fear" in his face when he talked to me. With kids and family, I lost site what was important...ME. If I don't take care of me, I can't take care of those I love and be here long term. I made a change and stopped with the excuses of being tired, or drained from work. Hardest part, is just getting out there, taking those first steps and moving on.
Today, I'm down to 245, all my labs are WAY better and I'm feeling much better. Being older, I'm going for losing mass and just making sure my body is moving to keep it in shape.
Again, congrats, and keep it up! You got this!!!!
As for Will, thank you for all your posts and content, truly inspiring and gives us all something to chase!
You are amazing!!!
Will, I as a 54 year old father of three grown children haven’t competed in over 30 years and am on the road to do it again. Like you NATURALLY. You’re such a motivator and inspiration I cannot and I mean this cannot thank you enough. After dealing with my thyroid going hypo and getting that in check, followed by my father’s unexpected passing and having to be there for my widowed mother. It’s not easy but you my friend have inspired me with ALL your heart felt videos. ESPECIALLY this one. I competed my last competition before I dated my wife and now after 32 years together she’s going to see and watch, and be a part of me doing it again. I don’t care if I win or lose, it’s about being on stage and giving it my all. Again. Thank you.
Hope all goes well for you. Will is inspiring ALL ages to reach for the stars!
Woah this sounds like a great thing to do. I wish u the very best MrHubb. Bless you and your family!
bro your side tricep is from another PLANET. looking absolutely insane, congratulations, you deserved this so much brother
WILL WAS WAY MORE CONDITIONED THAN THEM. THAT SIDE TRICEP POSE WAS INSANE FOR A NATURAL BODYBUILDER! STRIATED AND EVERYTHING. GREAT JOB WILL
even from not the best angle from the video it was insane 23:37

Hey Will, I just found you a couple months ago. I’m a 28 year old woman and a recovering alcoholic/addict. I’m not new to fitness or lifting, a couple years ago I was in the best shape of my life and then I started drinking heavily again and threw it all away. It only took a year and a half before I had gained 50lbs, my liver stopped functioning properly, my hair was falling out and I knew I was going to die. I stopped drinking in December and put all of that energy back into my health/fitness. I’m a week away from 5 months sober, I dropped almost 35lbs and I’m building muscle quicker than ever before. You’re the most inspiring person I’ve come across in this industry, thanks for that. Your videos have helped me hone in my diet, my form and my workout plan.
I’m sending lots of love to you ❤
Everyone here is beyond proud of you. One love 💚
👏 That's wonderful!!
You can do it, I really wish you the best ❤
I was in the same situation, I always used to be very active and I worked out a lot, until I started drinking and I gained around 50lbs as well, my hair started falling out also. I just want to say that this is one of the best things to do right now, working out, lifting weights has changed my life for the better. Not even in the way I look, but the way I feel about myself. It has created discipline and for the first time in a long time I am able to wear clothes that I like, not because they cover up my body. I am a little over 2 years sober and the thing that has changed my self worth is taking care of myself again. I genuinely wish you the best, I'll keep you in my prayers tonight, stay strong, we have a long way to go but in time we'll get there. You are amazing for getting sober and getting your health back.
Great to see a Markham lad doing well. All the best Will.

This is why you’re one of the most respected individuals in the fitness industry. Your discipline, hard work, and patience paid off in ways that you will remember for the rest of your life. You proved to yourself that you could do this.

Don't comment too often but need to say i am genuinely inspired. I think i absolutely needed this.
Almost 2 years myself, and completely agree. Enjoying the journey through and through!
I don't know how Will did not deserve the win. He absolutely did. If I were to take an objective standpoint, even if I didn't know who Will was, I'd still think he looked the best out there. I agree with him that his upper body was his saving grace. While his poses were a little awkward and his 'legs weren't as defined or sustaining the contraction, considering it's his first bodybuilding competition, he crushed it.
Not just that, no one by a 'long shot has shown this level of depth, detail and transparency Will has in how a bodybuilding competition is like. Will managed to avoid glorifying it like so many influencers out there, and yet elevate it to an even more impressive range of awareness for us fans and budding fitness enthusiasts.
Cheers, Will. You 'completely and unquestionably deserve this.
P.S. Katie's support and happiness for 'you almost made me tear up as well, damn . ..
Agreed, backstage it was obvious will was huge and had significantly more definition compared to the other competitors

19:20 I was watching with my earphones and the audio effect was AMAZING ! Congrats to the Editor !!
Thank you kind sir!
@@TheEditorJosh YES! Totally agree! All the transitions, original fade-outs/ high-cuts/reverbs etc. Not only great to listen to and to set the mood, but everything feels so intentional, not just a gimmick; well done my man! 👌🏼😎
Genuinely ace
It worked on me without headphones in, I thought I went deaf in my right ear 😭
Wow from his first power lifting competition and winning to getting his pro card in his first body building show! What can’t this man do besides grow calves!! Truly inspiring
🤣
Lolol
i know i’m days late and just another one of thousands of commenters but i’ve genuinely never felt more proud of somebody, especially someone that i’ve never even met. your videos always find a way to make my day better with your entertainment, how down-to-earth you are, and your occasional adult jokes 😂. i’m couldn’t help myself from smiling when your number was called. good luck in your future endeavors will! i’ll be watching your journey for sure.
This was inspirational, I quit my 12 year cocaine addiction today. Wish me luck
you got this!!
Remember, days two through six are the toughest. How are you doing? I'm going to check in on you every day to make sure you kick this.
You can beat this!!! It gets better I promise ❤
Quit, or ran out?
How are you holding up?
The speech in this video just saved HUNDREDS of young people from hopping on. Absolutely insane words from Will
The thing is that Will is NOT Natty because Greg is his Dad and Will is a famous RUclipsr so they would be fools for not taking drugs. There are people who might be able to get their physiques and muscle mass naturally but Will and Jeff DID NOT DO IT NATRUALLY!!!!!!!!!!!
@@fastedwarrior7353oh man
@@fastedwarrior7353and you are definitely natural. Naturally stupid.
Will, that speech after your meal was asbolutdly incredible and took me to the brink of tears bro. Congrats, bro, you deserve everythinh youve acomplished
Same I hope it gets clipped cos I wanna come back to it
Keep glazing will's wrecktum
I was eating cottage cheese and tearing up. Amazing speech.
Don't think I've cried so much genuine happy tears for someone I've never met. You truly deserve it🎉
this has really shown me what hard work and discipline really looks like. you’re truly an inspiration will.
Seeing your wife so supportive and invested in this journey with you was so touching
Ollie's watching you from above and he's absolutely proud of you. I think we all are. Well done Will.
❤❤
This whole journey has been so well done, from the work itself, to the Instagram posts, to the videos--we didn't get bored of the prep/competition because it was introduced at just the right time
Will really did win, but not only in the bodybuilding competition. Seeing his wife and parents being so supportive, caring and loving touched my heart
Former fat kid to former fat kid...SO proud of you, man. I love this so much...tears over here...literally the shot of Katie watching you from the stands and knowing what that moment was like for BOTH of you!!! Congrats.
Hey Will, congratulations, I know I’m not exactly your target demographic - I’m 44, and I’ve been on and off with the gym for years - but I’ve finally locked in my training and just hit my 27th consecutive session without a break. Your content has been a huge part of that.
I’m not aiming to be a bodybuilder, but seeing your consistency, discipline, and approach to the gym has really inspired me to push for a better version of myself. Watching you smash your goals and keep a positive mindset is a reminder that it’s never too late to chase those gains.
Thanks for the motivation, mate. You’ve got a fan in me - keep killing it. 💪
Kinda sounds like you are his target demographic -- someone trying to better themselves that he can inspire to be their best self.
Well done mate! Keep smashing it! 💪
Congratulations Will, love what you do! Much love from Portugal, keep up the good work.
This made me cry and I’m not even a bodybuilder but I’ve been watching Will for nearly 10 years
Bruh hes on RUclips for 5 years
@@Gaineagerss that's almost ten 😂
@@Gaineagerss I’m 95 so technically that’s nearly 10 years tbf
@@Gaineagerss that’s not true lol I started watching him in high school and I graduated college in 2023…. So definitely more than 5 years, he probably just deleted or archived his old videos or maybe I’m crazy idk but could’ve sworn it’s been longer than that
It made me emotional when he hugged Katie and his mom. Having watched his videos for 4-5 years now, you see how supportive they have been and it just made me really happy for both of them and especially for Will to be able see the culmination of all of their hard work and sacrifice. Congrats my man, I'm proud of you!
I’m not a bodybuilder and don’t know anyone who is. I’m just a 42 year old mom who goes to the gym regularly and tries to make good decisions. I could not be more proud of Will for his wholesomeness and determination. Truly inspiring. 😊
You are so right. Im 42 too and working on loosing 10 pounds, he such a good influence on me ❤
@@salut510same! I’ve lost 12lbs since Christmas! Working on at least 5 more but more importantly maintaining healthy habits. You can do it! Good luck to you!
@@danielleonfirehernandez5150 Thats great, congrats 😀
Including your dad in the end of the video is so poetic to how the whole brand has grown with you as a person
Not a knock on any of the other guys you were competing against, but you are seriously miles ahead of them in terms of size, definition, and posing quality. Congrats Will!
Imagine if he took gear, he’d def be a pro as well. He has the strength.
He also has every mean at his disposal, unlike most who don't have the added perks of being a fitness influencer
21 gave him a good run
True but there’s only so much you can train and sticking to the programme especially for the cutting phase is massive, irrespective of resources. Remember Will still has to work as well. Being a successful RUclipsr is a lot of hours per week, even after outsourcing.
I definitely don’t want to go up on stage in a speedo, but like, some of them just look like people who occasionally go to the gym. This honestly made me much more confident.
Will this Is a absolutely astronomical step for Natural Bodybuilding, this Is massive to show people that you can become huge and be a natural at the same time congrats dude
Is he natural though? 🤔
i don't envy your body as much as your determination, patience and discipline.. you're younger than me, and you started working out at a much younger age than me, this means in your early 20's you were already wiser and more focused than i was in my 30's.. congratulations!
Wise words congrats on the card man, you inspire alot of people good job will
There’s nothing cooler than people thinking you’re on roids while you know you’re natural. It means you’ve made it!! Well done, Will, amazing journey.
Lmfao yes natty
Yeah, dude was always low key jacked when all he did was make fun videos. He just always a goof ball and not making a big deal out of it. But you never hear him when people talk about the big noble natties like alex leonidas or geoffry scofield. Even though wil belongs with the big boys. 💪🏻
only little shrimp boys with little to no experience think that those insta influencers are natural. I mean you must be mentally handicapped otherwise
Keep glazing will's wrecktum
He passed tests and polygraph dude. What makes you think he's juicing?
For some reason this video made me cry a bit watching it, it just got me emotional. What an amazing journey you went on to do this, watching all the videos leading up to this and then watching this one, it was just such an amazing piece of work. I usually watch this on my phone, but I stopped the video and put it on my big screen. How the edit manipulated the sound when you put your ear buds in was "chefs kiss", it was overall just amazing. Thanks for taking us all along this ride with you. You can see how much your family loves you, Congratulations, so well deserved!
I appreciate the kind words about the editing and I agree, this victory for Will was well deserved 👍
@@TheEditorJosh Josh - you have been killing it on the edits, but this one was top of the line! Congrats to you as well!
literally 20 seconds in and I said aloud "fuck this gonna make me cry"
Im 26 and i used to smoke for 7 years and was skinny. You and your content inspired me to get healthy and in shape. Havent smoked in a year and been hitting the gym 5 days a week a year aswell now. Thank you for dragging me out of being a mess. You are a massive inspiration.
Very good! I started late, when I was over 30. I wanted to stay on top of things with my little one as long as possible. Figured out a lot along the way. What works. What does not. Surprised how much more I can do than I ever expected. I still like watching Will Tennyson, because it makes me feel like am part of a community of people who want to better themself. Especially when I am sitting akward due to the last session in the Gym did not go as planned and everything hurts :D
Congratulations!! The lungs can heal from smoking, the younger you are the better. You are doing great! Also, cigarettes are expensive! Take that money and buy yourself a vacation to somewhere cool you want to go.
What are your results now ?
@@kingofmambo The results are: better than before.
@@kingofmambo nothing extra honestly. I started from 75kg now im 85.5. For the first half year i focused on form and only recently started to pay attention to my max presses and stuff.
Man this is beyond inspiring, I competed natural when I was 19 and kind of gave up on it, but now I’m gonna give this one more shot at the age of 25, thank you for the motivation man
I'd never thought a body building video would move me to tears... Great to see your hard work paying off, respect!!
In one of your videos you said, “we aren’t here for the 12 reps, we are here for the last three” That has become ingrained in me.
Congrats on the win brother! Loved the monologue about training naturally. I think it'll try resonate with lots of younger viewers (& lead them in the right direction)
Hi Casey.
ive been supporting this man for 3 years since i was 15 and the transformation is CRAZY!! WILL HAS TRANSFORMED INTO A BEAST!! LETS WILL OUR TENNYSONN HOORAAHH
