- Welcome to the One Gen Podcast! In this episode, hosts Larry Wheels and Ryan Benston sit down with the legendary Calum Von Moger to discuss his incredible journey in the world of bodybuilding.
Calum opens up about his meteoric rise to fame, the personal struggles that led to his downfall, and the harrowing experiences that tested his limits, including contemplating suicide and the dramatic incident of jumping through a window. Despite these challenges, Calum's story is one of perseverance and resilience as he shares his plans for a potential return to competitive bodybuilding.
This episode offers a raw and unfiltered look into the mental and emotional challenges athletes face behind the scenes. Tune in for an inspiring conversation that highlights the strength and determination of the human spirit.
Big ups to Calum. He isn't just a bodybuilding icon anymore, he is a beacon of inspiration that many of us need. To hear someone who was compared as being the next Arnold talk about the depths of pain and confusion that we as humans are vulnerable to feel regardless of perceived success is a very strong message.
I got 16 months clean and sober. Ive been taking my daughter to church every Sunday. Its changed my life. Its been really tough for me lately. I was really glad to watch this show today! Thanks
Lost my younger brother in a very similar situation back in 2021. Calum sending prayers,love and healing to you and your family
There’s things you shouldn’t put in the comment section
@@Nobody-bq7pl No different than him talking about it.There are other people out there struggling and it helps knowing you’re not alone. Hope you have a blessed day
@@Nobody-bq7plwhat a weird comment - it’s called being empathetic
Bro this podcast with calum was absolutely AMAZING. I was locked in the whole time. I hope you guys really befriend calum and help him on his journey back, he needs a great circle of friends. Not to mention the amount of views it would get.
This is hands down the most inspiring bodybuilding podcast I have watched to date
I'm glad to hear that 😊
💪
Was this video recorded a while ago when you were still prepping for your competition?
I hope Calum doesn’t feel pressure to compete again if it will cause unnecessary stress or complicate his life. It seems like he is just becoming okay again. Might not want to upset that. Keep priorities.
Additionally, lifting with Larry tends to be bad for many people’s health.
Love to see Calum back. Missed him when he was gone and happy he’s doing well
Calum got me In to lifting in 2016 god bless
Calum has always been one of my favourite bodybuilders - and I am so happy to see this come back.
We love Calum
Calum felt like the host
I also went through the darkest time of my life while Calum was going through his, and it's been beyond inspiring.
You can tell he needed this thanks Larry wheels and his partner for listening to him 😢

Calum von moger absolute gentlemen keep your head up king
This was an incredible podcast, thank you calum and larry
44:05
Completely nailed it. Keep bringing him on!
42:58 stood on the same cliff that his brother killed himself on for 3 hours contemplating jumping... insane, Calum has been through hell and he's here to create a legacy and purpose to his life
Great Podcast. Calum definitely has that itch to compete again ❤
Love this podcast bro this was a great first guess!
Fantastic podcast and brilliant interview 👏
Very educational!
loved listening to this podcast
What an interview 👏
Hearing Ryan says he's a believer in Christ✝️ and Larry mentioning he's opening the Bible📖 and searching for God brought me tremondous JOY! Larry couldn't of partnered with a better man for his gym and coaching. The fact that Ryan is older and wiser and loves the Lord is EXACTLY what Larry needs at this stage in his life. To have a close brother in Christ is invaluable! Especially after being newly married, you need The Bible's wisdom in order to have a long joyful and successful marriage. The fact Larry is unashamed to speak on his new found faith in Jesus is remarkable and beyond refreshing! I will keep you, Ryan, your marriage and businesses in my prayers🙏🏻 for now on!
Nobody needs anything or anyone my dude, I agree it is likely beneficial for him to be going down this path but to act like he NEEDS it or wouldn't be as good of a man if he didn't choose to try believe in religion is ridiculous and narrow minded
@@saladin7467 Sounds like your angry at God. We ALL are better with Jesus than apart. Faith not religion! Jesus is Lord! He Loves Us! We need Him for Eternal Life! Facts not an opinion!
@@holy___fitfairy tale
@@holy___fit Not mad at anyone, just saying that your opinion isn't the only correct one. I'm glad it works for you, but everyone is different. Not everyone needs the same things you need.
@@saladin7467 Man’s immeasurable need for Jesus Christ is a reality that God urges humanity to believe and humbly respond to (see John 8:24; Mark 16:15; Acts 1:8).
Bloody Legends! 🤜🏾
Was a bit refreshing to hear them speak about their injuries. I have a torn achilles and I hate the way it makes my calf look.
great podcast
Talking about young guys that had a great edge in bodybuilding and going places and passed away suddenly Dallas McCarver is another name that had everything going for him and i believe that he choked on a sandwich and i believe he was 23 years old
Um no
Insanely good pod and guest 🔥, trentwins podcast in the future??
Calum 🔥🤙
LFG Calum
💯💯💯
My two goats 🐐 combining
So did Larry do this show and quit after or quite before the show??
🔥🔥
🔥
❤❤❤
Reps for Rex!🐾❤️💪🏻
I personally think the Mr Olympia contest is killing the rest of the shows. My reasoning is most athletes just want to qualify for the O and dont want to do shows. There are so many pros that dont need to do shows because they have won the O. Rami, Brandon, Hadi, Derek. And if Nick or Samson wins it, then our top 5 will not need to compete outside the O.
I think everyone should have to re-qualify. The Mr O winner should only get a single pass for the next Mr O and not qualified for life.
Top 3 or 5 should not qualify either.
Winning a show should not qualify you either, instead it gives you points only. This means you need to do more shows to solidify your qualification and not just disappear for the season.
So win 1 show and take the risk.
OR win 2 shows and have a solid standing on the ladder.
It creates more hype, and ability for contestants to "knockout" others on the ladder and at the cutoff time, only top 15 on the ladder go to the O.
This means all year long, the big names have to battle it out to stay on the ladder, and there will be dog fights to retain top spots on the 10-15 ladder placements.
Release the Togi episode please
Respec boys 🫡
good show fella's
Calum was very lucky .Many others didn't come up.. Maybe ping pong will be a more suitable sport. Bodybuilding put far too much pressure on the mental and the physical
FIRST‼️
The tattoo on his neck, is that from the anime called Demon Slayer?
17:37 :(
OH LOOK IT'S THE 'TRT ONLY' BROS!!!! Man, it's amzing how restoring your body's natural testosterone level ONLY, makes your biceps want to exit your skin. Man, what a crazy thing, who woulda thought!
Did you forget to take your meds
Yikes
@@Kai-ln7sn Nope, this guy claims 'trt only' for a year now.. Im hoping kids are smarter than this
@@christopherh6361he lsaid “I started off with just trt initially”only a few minutes into the video. He implies he’s on way more than just trt. Hope that helps you out brother.
Who? Callum?
All the way nice guy... 😊

So is Larry actually competing or no
13:00 gigachad

This was filmed before the relapse video. It was on his story a few weeks ago.
Mew!
Wasn't this up already, and taken down?
Yea
so he is still doing the show? so confusing lol
I was just about to ask this lol
Nah he’s not lol he verified that on the back workout video with Calum and fafa in the comment section
What two weeks out of the show???He didn't that he quitted competing and doing strong man competition or try to break his records. What's wrong with Larry???
I love u Larry but you don't have the legs to be in open.
Calum seems like he had problem talking
Von moger could’ve been multi time classic champ
Second
No one asking what really happened to his dog in texas????
It choked didn't it?
God bless I trust in Christ myself please speak up. It's not a quick fix to life, He challenges us to trust HIM.

Why is nobody talking about these Pigs Jim Manion, his son JM Manion, and his little son Tyler and how they are all in the IFBB? It has to change; you cannot be there forever and you die. The same goes for Steve Humberger and the judges; they need to be changed from time to time. Look at what happened when Dorian Yates was winning; he was a good friend of Steve's, and because Shawn Ray had a big mouth, they never let him win.
We, the fans, need change and to stop the exploitation of women in fitness and bodybuilding. Enough is enough!
Manion crowd out. Joe and Ben no longer here, they both died so it's time for something else to be done. Change, change and change.

Lol dork
If calum didn't tear his biceps he would've been mr olympia and cbum second
Far from it buddy
🤡
he never had legs or a back. Even before all his injuries. King of the gym bros yes. Actual professional men’s classic No
Why have you replaced arm wrestling with this dude Ryan? Not a fan anymore 👎
Waaaaaah
Larry high key gay
What the heck does that even mean?
Calumn Vun Muger #Crackhead☝️
boooring!
I can't imagine losing my younger brother.. i would be extremely suicidal as well
This shows everyone how awesome Larry is, goodluck calum just go steady steady, ❤❤❤
Calum sounds and looks 100% better nice to see.
Larry stop lying to yourself….your 30 something years old to say you haven’t really tried yet? Is a joke- your body ain’t built for bb- your strong! That’s it- be smart.
I thought Larry isn’t competing anymore after his last Video he released and focus on Business and family.
This was filmed before that video
He “relapsed” on the pump sauce
Bro this podcast with calum was absolutely AMAZING. I was locked in the whole time. I hope you guys really befriend calum and help him on his journey back, he needs a great circle of friends. Not to mention the amount of views it would get.
