CT I am 48 with heart problems. I used to work out from 16 to 35 until I was diagnosed with Dilated Cardio Myopathy. I died on the table a couple times flown out to another hospital and spent awhile in ICU. They wanted me to get a heart transplant and I said no, just make me last 15 more years to see my kids graduate. So from 35 to 47, I tried to get back into working out and was just too scared. I have a defibrillator and was worried about the wires coming out etc. Then I saw your videos and long story short, Thank you. If I hadn't seen your story, I probably would still be sitting here wishing I would go to the gym and not going. I go in balls to the wall, and if the lord is going to take me, well I am going to put up a good fight. Again, Thank you.
Right on man! Good luck with life brotha!
Good job ! Keep it up ! This guy can sure motivate the hell out of a person. Much Respect CT

You should read "heart disease no more" by andreas moritz
you can hear his heart beating through the mic
jason parmelee Crazy, huh. Glad he got a transplant and is recovering well from the surgery.
jason parmelee it was his pacemaker at that time but you could definitely feel with those pumps his every word.
I thought it was just weird pick up from the mic. Jeez that's insane.
The heart beat of over coming !
Holy sh1t I'm a healthcare provider spent 10 years in school am a Dr. Been in practice for 10yrs, but was concentrating so hard on the words...I didnt even realize the heart beat. It's not the pacemaker making noise...they don't, the heart does. Great detail to attention! You can hear the irregular beats and brief moments of afib
CT Fletcher is the Muuthafuuckin' Man!
After several failed attempts, I kicked a heroin and cocaine addiction because The Superman Man from Compton told me I could!
I would love to meet you some day CT!
Love You Brotha!
Hello brother , i recently also kicked drug addiction not so long ago im glad doing well. and i wish you nothing but love man . God bless.
Demetrius Wilson -Keep it up soldier!
How are you doin now?
listen.....you hear it? Heartbeat of a Lion! CT muthafuckin Fletcher is a warrior!
+williambuckner3182 thats what i was gonna comment
omg all that time i thought it was shitty mic !
who put the mic near his heart? ct reminds me of my late grandfather. ..beautiful ole school dude
I was wondering did anyone else notice that
It's a machanical heart valve he had put in
Muhammad Ali said "It's not the skill of the man, it's the will of the man"
i just find out about that Will guy CF ..and i really enjoy his TESTIMONY ...
CT is a beast. A gladiator. A warrior. A true alpha male. Every man should walk his own path, but respect is due to this legend.
Education comes in many forms. I'm a University graduate myself. However through the years ive realized that I'd rather talk to the guy who's been there/done that - rather then read about it. There's no substitute for experience. C.T Fletcher delivers this intellegently and with a bit of humor. Look at the attention he gets. Much respect to him.
That was the most inspirational and motivational speak I have ever heard. I used to be in the 500lbs club. meaning I could bench 500+ lbs but in 2014 I suffered two strokes. Since watching Brother CT Fletcher I've learned how to walk again. I'm mowing my own lawn again and recently I started working out again. Thanks for the motivation CT. I love ya brother.
"I fucking said so - that's why" Had me dying laughing!
Proverbs 23:7
“For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he”.....
C.T Fletcher has a very beautyful and musical voice, he could use this for annimations, movies, soundtracks, child stories !
Audio books.
I wasn't planning on watching the entire video, but I couldn't stop.
same here xD
Beard Profile -Yep, lol!
Ct is the man!
I got chill watching this shit, CT Command the Respect of that room like Goliath.
Thought id end up watching it for 5 mins and go watch something else but here i am after 27 mins. Worth every second.
I HOPE SOMEONE READS THIS. I just 30 minutes typing it lmao.
This video was the foundation I needed to complete an Olympic Triathlon. I had just signed up for an Olympic Triathlon right before this video was released.
Last February I was obese. 240lbs (Heaviest I ever was being 270lbs). I decided it was time to be healthy, and stop being miserable. I completed all three rounds of Focus T25 at home workout program. Lost 55+lbs. Then I did P90X3, got injured, and then did T25 again. In January of this year, while in the middle of Beta Round of T25, I found CT's videos, and finally bought a Planet Shitness gym membership. I know, it's not a real gym, but with solid guidance from Rich Piana, Kali Muscle, and CT I started a new chapter of my life. I fell in love with the gym. Lactic acid build-up became my new favorite drug.
I still loved cardio because of what T25 started me out, so I ran 20 minutes a day, I ran my first 5k on a treadmill, and gained the desire to compete in a real one. As fate would have it, I was biking to the gym one Sunday morning (Left my house at 6:45am), and I happened across a 5k race. Entry fee was $30, there was an ATM a mile away, and 30 minutes before the start of the race. I withdrawed the money, and I raced. 26:45 was my first time. The next weekend, I rode my bike 55 miles from my house to Philly, ran another 5k at 26:34, and rode back. The next weekend, I rested up, and ran another 5k at 25:32. I won in my age bracket. There were only 13 of us, but I've never been an athletic person, so this was an amazing personal achievement for me. The next weekend I signed up for a Triathlon not even knowing if I could swim. 1 mile swim, 27 mile bike (1,300ft of elevation change), and a 6 mile run. I had 9 weeks to train.
I thought the swim would be cake. I knew how to swim, and I knew I could bike 110miles and run 3.1miles, so how much harder could it be? Before my first practice swim, this video came out, and it reminded me of how strong my will was. I had come so far from the man I used to be. I went from 2xls and a gut that hung over my belt, to M tanktops and a solid 4 pack. I knew that this race was just another test of my will.
I got in the pool the first time, swam two laps, and had a full-blown panic attack. I was in NO WAY prepared to swim. I was absolute dogshit at swimming. However, this video reminded me of how much of an animal I had become, and that swimming was just another hurdle that I was going to overcome. I woke up at 5am and swam before work, went to work, came home and biked 15miles to the gym, did my body building workouts, and biked home 5 miles (different route) EVERY WEEKDAY for 9 weeks. On the weekends, I would do bricks (30+ mile bikes and 4+ mile runs) mixed with my bodybuilding. I built an absolute machine. I completed that olympic tri in 3 hours and 27 minutes. My leg cramped up 1/4 mile into the swim, and I had to do the rest on my back with out using my one leg. I could barely stand when I got back to the dock, I limped to my bike, passed 100 people on the bike ride. During the run my legs locked up. I couldn't even walk. The pain was so intense that I nearly laid down. THIS IS WHEN MY WILL TOOK OVER! I had come TOO FAR AND TRAINED TOO FUCKING HARD to deny myself the opportunity to finish this race. I made myself run the rest of the race. I achieved my goal because THAT'S THE ONLY THING THAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN THAT DAY!!! I WAS GOING TO BE VICTORIOUS!!
I have since lightened up on the cardio, 12 miles of biking a day with 2.5 mile runs sprinkled here and there. I've gone swimming a couple times for the hell of it, but my new favorite thing to do is powerlift. I've gained 30lbs since the race (I was 175 on race day). Every once of it is pure muscle. My bench has gone from 205 to 295 (315 within the next month because I fuckin' said so), my deadlift has gone from 365 to 455 (just hit that Wednesday) and squats from 275 to 315 (I didn't train legs at all while training for the tri because I didn't want to injure them in any way).
I'M A BAAAAAAD MAN!!! And I still watch this video once every 2 weeks to remind myself of that.
Thanks, CT.
PS My new 5k time is 23:35
good shet bro. i actually want to get ready for a triathlon just to say i did it. motivating shet
dannydbdhoes you can totally do it. Just a word of advice, if you haven't practiced swimming, get on it. The swimming is hands down the hardest part. Also, if you can, try to do open water swimming. It's a completely different animal.
John Mehew that was not 30 minutes
Well done
@@matthewrey134 I felt he was a little cocky about it tho, a true elite Athlete does not boast of his Endeavors, but they let the Actions do the talking
Realising that his valve can be heard through the mic is all the motivation I need for the rest of my life...
13:24 "Any time that you give your best... effort... that you give everything that you possibly can give, there is satisfaction in knowing that I did my absolute best. I did all I can do, there is victory in that... there is satisfaction in that..." Man that was so powerful for me that I felt the necessity to do a video with this speech. Thank you CT Fletcher for your wisdom.
CT, I am 29 years old. Was a collegiate athlete. Started lifting at 18. When I was 19 I developed a massive blood clot in my brain. Was deathly sick for 6 months. By age 20 I was back in the gym lifting. Finished college and started a career. When I was 25 I developed a blood clot in my leg which clotted all the way up thru my vena cava into the right atrium of my heart. Several massive pulmonary embolisms went thru my heart and into my lungs. I should've died, almost did chocking on my own blood. 2 months after getting out of the hospital I was back to lifting. Weight lifting and being in the gym saved my life and to this day people don't even realize the shit I experienced because I don't look like someone who has a massive clot in their brain or scar tissue in my lungs from pulmonary embolisms, much like you don't look like someone who has had medical trauma. I am an IRON ADDICT. It has been my life saver and my only place of pleasurable pain!! Your story inspires me so much.
I would love to meet you someday!!
David your story inspires me! My friend
Man that Polo Shirt isn't ready for your arms.
CMike44 or his nipples
It had sleeves when he left the house that day
@@auditorofauditors862 of course you fatass dipshit......leep hetting jealous
Im not a body builder, just a single dad with several jobs at a time. All I know I could never quit. And I didnt. Man I could have used this 12 years ago.
That was one of the most riveting 27 minutes I've spent on CZcams. I was engaged in every minute of that story/speech. Thank you CT for sharing!!!
The man is a legend my friend!
The man is the perfect mix of inspiration, hard work, craziness, and commitment!
still watching this before i lift from time to time, i have cerebral palsy. I know what you mean when the doctors tell you what not to do or cant do. Keep preaching brother, you keep me, and a million others going now!
An amazingly captivating orator, a genius in his own right, this message has ramifications in all aspects of life. I came for a quick 5 minute drop in and before I knew it 30 minutes past. 27+ headless lion trainers disliked this video.
AMEN brother!
True
Canadian Prepper me too!!!
RJ Stug vegans don’t have anything to do with the dislikes. Spread love not hate
Very good speech. Lots of wisdom and motivation to propel us to the next level.
CT you really do have a gift for public speaking, keep it up man
Simply couldn't stop or skip through the video. Captivating & brilliant!
I am a great leader. I am a war time Veteran. 22 years
U S Army. Love to Empower & Encourage daily. CT. Is the read deal one if the best in the world...

This wisdom could apply to everything in life. Well said CT.

This honestly got me misty and reminds me that no matter how hard I work, I can *always* work harder.
I love this guy! CT Fletcher has taught me a lot. I am disabled and Bad Ass because of CT. Over fifty, lost 130 lbs. 17% body fat yea yea. Thank you CT!
That was the most honest speech i have ever heard. He wants you to know you are lions and not sheep.

Greatest Speech Ever!
C.T You are the absolute Legend.
Huge Respect.
King Regards!
This is great, and after having a car crash 7-8 months ago where according to every medical practitioner its a miracle I came out with no real life long injuries let alone dying and breaking my neck, femur, tibia, 5 ribs and lower back. It's been getting back to the gym and pushing harder than before that's let me stay sane through all the mental struggles after.
If I was a family member of the person who donated that heart, I'd be crying through this entire video. Oh, and the speech was great too. 🖤♥️🖤♥️🖤
When CT Fletcher Speaks, We Listen.
RIP C.T. Flecter....
Inspired many like myself with his workout videos...
CT was about a message that's far more than grown adults.
CT was an incredible speaker to the next generation of kids ....
Never let anyone set your limitations.
RIP TO THE KING OF COMPTON.
God bless you CT Fletcher I was in a bad bad accident 2013 I know how it feels to be dead I know about the PICC line and a few other things you are a beast brother you're a godsent💯💪🏽💪🏽❤️👍🏼👍🏼💚😎👊🏼🗯🗯🗯💥🤟🏽🤟🏽
Listening to CT took me from 175 to 200lbs with muscle loaded. The willpower he talks about pushed me into a new career, through a divorce and much adversity. Will pushes up over 350 lbs for me but the mind is the key! Thanks CT!
RONNIE COLEMAN AND CTFLETCHER! LETS SEE THAT SHIT!!!
When I was I was diagnosed with a tachycardia heart rhythm disorder I was discouraged, when I was 21 I was diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation disorder..three or four times a year my heart doesn't beat correctly for 3 days at a time. I had to sneak away at football practices, birthday parties, gym classes, and social events to try to return my heart rate to normal. I raced MX for 10 years and played football for two..knowing that at anytime my heart would stop beating correctly. I've stopped halfway through a race to control my heart rate. I never let it stop me. I still lift.
WORDS OF WISDOM!YOY MOTIVATED ME TO LOSE 35 LBS..LOVE YOU MAN..GOD BLESS YOU
Young King same here bro. Starting watching guys like Ct, Chris jones, mike rashid, and bradly Martin. Got that motivation to lose exactly that 35lbs that was my goal. Now it's a life style
This beat my opiate/fentanyl addiction. Beat it so bad. They were addicted to me. Back pumpin. Back jacked and strong. Love and respect to you all.
Love the beard.
He remind me of Lord Leonidas.
King*
African King. not leo.
I stand corrected.
KING LEONIDAS...

I don't believe I've liked more then 5 video's in my entire life on YT, but I had too Like this video in order to show my respect too this amazing man.

'Remember who the f*ck you are!' ..... Just love it
It takes time to train any muscle including the WILL muscle. Repetition upon repetition. Pushing past pain, anxiety, and failure because you WILL not be defeated. WILL is the backbone to success. Build it up. #coachMP
EVERYONE who is hesitant about his or her's own personal goals should watch this video. These are life lessons that folks can certainly benefit from and help others to benefit as well. Bravo, CT!
When I was growing up in LA all of us youngsters wanted to be like CT Fletcher. CT is the REAL DEAL!
that clicking sound on the background is Ct's hart pumping, #RESPECT man
CT, you're the MF'ing man! Im 52 yo, retired Army of 20 yrs, and you are a great inspiration for me. Im opening up a gym to be a positive influence as you have in my home town. My god continue to bless you brother. Much respect!
CT you are the reason I am going to gym today. I had gave up on gym 2 years back. But I happened to land on this video that has changed my life. Thanks my best motivational speaker. I am doing this once again with my absolute best
Nothing we all don't already know but its always good to hear it from someone else.
Athlean X is an amazing program if you can handle putting your ego on the shelf for a few months.
i hope people who tipped dislikes will never have the form like his.
Listen with headphones and you hear C.T.'s old heartbeat 💪🏿
One of the greatest speeches...CT's the greatest.
"He is speaking the language of the gods."
i think every body should watch this ...
CT you motivate the fuck out of me. I hope to keep the kind of fire that you have for all you do after all these years, and use it to accomplish all the things I dream to be. Thanks for always showing that fire and heart.
CT I'm 15 I've first started lifting weights when I was 12. I used to weigh 200 pounds of mostly fat and not very much muscle. I've dropped my weight down to 170 and I've been lifting every day. My weight is back up to 200 and that's because I love to lift. I can't go without touching a set of weights and lifting till I can't do another rep. I can curl 110 but I've not tried to go any higher than that. I bench 195, I squat 435, I dead lift 200 and I leg press 1045. All of those I've not tried to go any higher than what I felt comfortable with. You got me into lifting and I want to thank you for that. I love to push myself and improving you give me the motivation to keep going every time I get in there and I lift. I live in a small town in Missouri and I'm an iron addict. It would be awesome if I could train with you. Thank you CT Fletcher.
Soo sweet
I love ct you saved my life thank you
Sir, I don't believe it can be taught! It IS in all of us! The struggle of each us is to draw it to the surface from the depths of one's soul, from DEEP in one's heart, from the energy of the Universe ITSELF, With one last inhale the strength of every warrior that has stood in victory AND defeat is pulled into your spirit for you to stand in GREATNESS one last time, reaching to the heavens above to pull Glory down to show it to the world for all to see!!
yes I can hear his heart it's soothing
+Jonathan Martinez Really bro? Some things just aren't meant to be expressed.
What if heard that everyday of ur life
Sensacional palestra,de fato devemos dar o nosso melhor em tudo o que fazemos. Precisamos parar de reter e dar o nosso melhor,mais que o limite ,o ilimitado....
Parabéns ao CT Fletcher,top ,gostei da história do leão
Porém, ele está cego .....e uma hora ele irá morrer
Deus tem um grande propósito na vida dele, porém infelizmente o inimigo faz o que quer
Ele teve grandes livramentos,mas está cego
Creio que uma ora Deus irá falar com ele
Well, got back to the gym thanks to your lactures sir. Thank you... Today I'm replaying your video for the 20th time... Got to hear those good words to get things going... And let's get big! Thank you
CT Fletcher's motivational messages transcends bodybuilding.
great guy changed my life .. voice sounds like Micheal jai White
Would love to have someone in my circle who could motivate like he does...May not be for everyone, but I love the fire that he brings whether its in the gym or in a classroom. You can feel the enthusiasm with every word he speaks!
Your words were very important to me, they are helping me to overcome all my obstacles, thank you very much, my lengths of portugal emanuel moura
There is something very different about a man telling an emotional story than a woman. Now I'm not degrading women in any way! Let's get that straight right now!! But we must admit that when you see a man telling this type of emotional story and maybe even crying, that it is way more touching to your soul but this is absolutely stunning!
Keep pushing ct fletcher hope you get better you are a great inspiration 💪🏿✊🏾🙏
Who could give a message like this a thumb down?
racists people
I love what you say, C.T. You have a real prophetic quality to you, my brother. You are funny as well. I am glad you are still around, it gives me great comfort!!! Peace, from Oxford, u.k.
