    I can not express how much this video means to me. I have been watching this video probably since it came out in 2011, and it got me into bodybuilding. Now it’s 2019 and although I do not bodybuild anymore when I start feeling mentally down and feel stuck in a unhealthy cycle of bad habits. I watch this video and listen to these great men and it just get me back on the straight an narrow.
    I appreciate that there’s a playlist posted at bodybuilding inspiration because every time I look up this video I type that and I’m prepared to search through 8 years of videos to find it. But luckily this playlist saves me each time.

      We literally have the same story. I feel you on this man. I haven't been able to train for 5 years now. Came back to watch this, it honestly makes me wish the person i used to be. Not so much physically, but the discipline and determination i used to have.

    • @payloadperformance9706
      @payloadperformance9706 Před 5 lety +1

      Ben Hernandez seems like so many of us are on the same boat, I feel like during us underdogs trained the hardest in the gym, I watched all the Zhasni videos when they would come out, I was around 22-23 training the hardest I ever have in my life, and watching these it’s a flashback to what just felt like yesterday, but I have lost EVERYTHING now, I just started training again and it’s a slow road to recovery for my scapula.
      Let us train and bring the glory days back brother, teach these youngins how it’s really done!

    11 years ago, when I was 16 and in high school, I used to take the tram to the gym. On the way to the gym, I always watched to this video and it was deeply etched in my memory. After 11 years, I can still remember very well the feelings I had. I always get goosebumbs and a blissful feeling. Its that feeling when you know you are passionate about something. My going to the gym is still going on, I always find time to work out. Now I am competing in powerlifting and I managed to win regional competition and I am going for more wins. Who knows if this video is responsible for this kind passion of mine. Amazing!
