Joe is a living legend, he was honest with his ups and downs, and showed that even with poor genetics, with enough work and discipline you can have a great physique, never was a skinny kid, was more of a fat kid, but he is still a hero of mine.
The kid clearly went on gear at some point. He had a normal linear increase with the noobie gains then hit a hard platue then a suddenly got huge with round delts all around then fell off again abruptly and has performance issues. Like please if you worked out a day in your life in terms of hypertrophy you know what happened, strength going up abruptly in the 1-3 ranges is more believable due to neural adaptations.
joe is such a genuine guy, always admits his faults and insecurities, clearly still somewhat immature but doesn't try to hide that, does his absolute best to provide quality content that isn't bloated to match youtube ad revenue benchmarks coming from someone who is 3 years older than him, joe is an absolute legend in the youtube fitness sphere and i'm so proud of what he has accomplished
Been watching Joe since mid-2020 when he was still doing his "Skinny kid bulking up" series, glad to see him become big (physically and as a content creator :D)

I remember watching his old videos when he was still skinny and he just BULKED AND BULKED AND BULKED. Bro has worked for EVERY OUNCE of muscle he has. So much respect for him.
Fitness not a trend in 2017? I started lifting in high school in 2013 because of Zyzz. By 2017 we already had Gymshark and a boatload of famous content creators like Rich Piana, Bradley Martin (who is still around), Conor Murphy, Jeff Seid and Athlean X (also still around) from the top of my head. Just because it hadn't reached your bubble yet doesn't mean it wasn't already there.
My yt story stopped when my videos went around my college and it was just people making fun and it completely put me off, if only I realised that no matter what people will hate.
Is that a Geordie accent from Big Craig? Fair play to ya both, I must live under a rock as I have no idea who Joe was. Great video tho, learnt something new today.
Me and Joe got a similar story… started gym severely underweight at 15 years old, eventually get caught and banned. Lost motivation until 16 and started training again until 18. Been training a year and a half and a lot of people still bigger than me😂. Everythings the same except that i didnt get a viral video, only 5k views😂
Joe's clearly still not happy with his physique, as evidenced by how he photoshops his upper body to look bigger in thumbnails where he has his shirt off.
How the hell i make a rediculous amount of my sponsor how the hell was the kid not making 50 grand a month with a million plus subs just the views would equal that. Could turn it into a career i have a career and i have 35k like wtf
I like his videos but he came successful from one crappy transformation video. Luck rather than talent. He should be promoting mike Mentzer routines but instead he sticks with 5 day bro splits and eats way more calories than he needs which is why he keeps getting sick
He is kinda charming yeah, but it really comes down to sarms/peds, being an ectomorph with low fat cell count that can eat whatever he wants and doesnt get fat in aestethic areas, being 6,3 feet and yes a little bit of being kinda handsome. Thats it. People are under the assumption that being a hardgainer/skinny is bad genetics butin the 20th century with abundance of food you pair that with peds and gym and you are in a much better position than an endomorph with insulin resistance.
@jonasclosing let me ask you genius, why do you think he got that acne breakout at 19 years old waaay past puberty and after blaming it on depression lost his gains but cured his acne?
His #6 advice and most important saved my life, thankyou for everything you’ve done😔
Joe told me he is going to be VERY upset if people dont follow his final piece of advice.
@@bigcraigyt I followed his advice 🥺🙏 thankyou!

Joe Fazer is a perfect example of someone who smashed the self-improvement game without saying the word "self-improvement" once
Well said 💯

Not Love Island changing lives and inspiring kids to be better 😂❤
Who misses old Joe though?.. The +10 minute videos. "Skinny Kid Bulking Up." That was the golden era of Joe.
I also like that he’s branching out like the Hanoi video. It’s great that he’s finding something he loves and doing it in different ways.

I love Joe, and I love your videos too Big Craig ❤💪

He didn’t realize that he’s talking so it’ll take longer for him to fill out his frame. But I’m glad he didn’t give up
He did amazing.
I remember when he was a skinny kid training at home in his garage!
Joe Is a true legend he's the guy iv looked up to and to see what's possible. Let's be honest being skinny sucks
People love to hate when you are doing more than them...
On god this is my fav video love you guys fr❤
It came out 3 minutes after you wrote the comment. SILENCE FAKE
@@BigSaba I meant this start of the video dumbbass obviously I hadn’t completed the video who says I can’t comment without completing it🤦♂️
Joe should be approached by a publisher. I think a lot of people would benefit from reading his story

Fire video 🔥🔥
I love your videos especially the videos that has the ceo of gym positive destroying o.f girls account and career
Joe Fazer is a G 💪😎
Just be goodlooking and tall (6’4) wins again
"Back in 2017" mf we are not starting to refer to 2017 as "back in" like its 10 years ago or something lmao
Joe's my long lost brother fr
Awesome video
He’s tiny size wise, edits the thumbnails to make his self bigger but other than that he’s a lovely chap
Also probably did SARMs
Subscribed.
I kind of miss 2017

came from his ig story
Quite an uneducated perspective lifting weights in gyms from a young age has been a thing all around the western world for decades 👍🏻
It’s his experience?

I’ve already apologised 😩
Are Joe’s real life friend?
What's the song playing at the time 3:20 ??
I was wondering the same thing! Any luck? I’ve heard it many times before in the past few years since it came out, but forget the name.

first time i stepped in the gym was 2013, it was already normal working out in high school, why u lying?
@Bonapartist-w8z nah, but 17 was already too late, he lying to make it dramatic
there is nothing interesting going on in the fitness industry

His training regime is quite outdated, at least a big portion of it. Search up Mike Israetel's video on Mentzer.
Respectfully disagree with the mentzer part
But 110% agree with the calories part, got quite sick from that too
