Nick, I'm 24 years old and both my parents passed away from lung cancer. My mom was first and was the hardest experience because she was sick for months and I had to watch her wither away in the hospital. I love your brand, I love your mental state, and I love your perseverance. My mother passed a little over 2 years ago and my father this last May. I followed you through your iron man training as I went through my training for the Spartan Beast - my first half marathon and first race over a 5k. I've now decided that I'm going to strive to qualify for Boston and I start my level one training this coming Tuesday. Thank you for being an inspiration and forming this community. I wish you all the best training for Boston this time around as I will be training too although I won't have my qualifying race until Phoenix 2021. I'll be completing the Spartan Trifecta next year and looking towards hitting my first marathon as well as my first ultra (50k) next year as this was my first goal. Keep doing you -- I'll be looking for you in future Bostons and maybe Badwater down the road. Cheers, Mate. -- Cole
bro he used a TONNE of anabolics and is lying about it. How is that motivational? If you used just a quarter of what he injects each week you would PR everything you do in training.
this is sad he needs more subscribers he DESERVES sooo much more everybody shouts him out on every social media you have lest get him to 1 mill the eventually get him the diamond play button !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember racing with you in Florida! I was the dude in prosthetics. It as my first as well. Way to go man, loved this video...relieved that epic day! Thanks for doing this
Great short documentary, just wanted to thank you for sharing your story. My inspiration is my wife. She is the reason why I am motivated everyday. Back in 2013 I weighed 335 and was able to lose 130 lbs to donate a kidney to my wife. She is my on switch everyday that gets me motivated to be the best person I can be. Best of luck to you.
Nick I'm in tears. My mom died suddenly when I was 17 from a heart attack. I look up to you so much as I'm currently in the army and struggling. Just know you're an inspiration to many to just keep pushing. Thank you Nick.
Nick you should sit down and think about your “breaking the switch” ideology and try and really describe how that has worked for you and you can encourage others to “break the switch” in terms of goals and consistency. Could make a great book actually. “Breaking the switch” by Nick bare
@@rudystraight1750 So you Your not Fan Of Freemason's? Saw bits of a vid on your channel, looked derogatory TOWARDS FREEMASON, you do know that's all horseshit the negatives about Freemason's right?
I was one of those people I thought I liked it but missed the like button and hit dislike and if I hadn’t of read your comment I wouldn’t have gone back and liked it lol thanks
Hey Nick, just wanted to thank you, I’m not the fittest guy and I always thought that to be a runner you had to be super skinny but you’ve shown me that you can be big and still run. You’ve motivated me immensely in my training and you’re an amazing person
I've always told myself, "What you take for granted is a miracle to someone else, so don't waste it." Great video man and may your Mother rest in peace. Prayers to you and your family.
Where do I begin: within the last 24 hrs I just came across your channel for the first time ever. I’ve literally been watching your videos since 2 or 3am yesterday. I’m not a runner, nor am I anywhere near interested in doing any type of marathon. I love seeing your passion, drive, and never quit attitude. It’s truly inspiring, bro. I, too, am an Army Veteran. I wasn’t a Ranger or anything, but seeing a brother do what you do makes me proud. I am a businessman and I’m also trying to get back into shape. Your videos speak to me in a way that I need in my life right now. God Bless you, bro.
I’ve never met you man but can’t explain how you motivate me to just become the best version of myself and not let things stand in my way. Im so glad I’ve found your channel. I really look forward to everything you post, Nick! Best of luck with the Boston training. Excited to follow your journey
I still come back and watch this a couple of times a year.. if only to hear the line "I'm talking about turning that switch on and breaking it" -- something about that is so motivating to just keep going.
Oh my god, I did the same race, 2019 ironman Florida! I am an ex-bodybuilder beginning my career in triathlon. Inspirational video, thank you for making this. I think i remember seeing you pass me a couple times on the course.
It’s was touching hearing about the Ironman dedication to your mother and hearing the remarks from other family members, but when your father talked about how proud he was of you; man I about lost it . That was impressive Nick as are you . 👍
What a journey man! You are a true inspiration to so many including myself. I'm glad @Rise was able to capture this journey to picture even more how dedicated you are! Let's go man. #NeverStopDreaming #TeamRise
The race is on march 7th. I am new to the Super long distance running thing so if anyone has any tips I would appreciate it. I have a good training plan but I am clueless on what to do for nutrition.
stephen carlson I ran my first half marathon a few months ago (also inspired by Nick actually)! I think it really just comes down to conditioning. If you’re following a training program you’ll do great, just stick to it and it’ll get you conditioned. you just gotta power through if it gets tough! For a half marathon nutrition isn’t as vital as longer distances like a full marathon. I’d just make sure to eat relatively healthy foods, and foods you’re used to. Also since you’ll be running more with a training plan, you’ll probably need to eat more than usual just to make up for those burned calories from running. Hope this helps!
stephen carlson I’ve done quite a few half’s and one full marathon. Try and follow a programme if you can and stick to it and you’ll be fine. Make sure you practice getting you fluids and fuel in and get it nailed down, try different gels too. Most of all, have fun as it’s a brilliant experience! Best of luck.
I just watched this after dinner. Got my shoes on and just ran. Thank you for sharing your journey and what makes you get out of bed.. got me up and after it.
I pray that she is in the best place. My father passed away from cancer a few months back after fighting it for 11 years. I admire you presenting this series to fighting brave mother. Much love to you!
One of the most motivational videos I have ever seen. I've had many quotes I look to, but now the one that is ingrained in me is "Turn the switch on and break it." - Nick Bare
Your transformation from a body builder to an Ironman inspires small individuals and athletes like me to transform nd work harder!! Its a joy watching your videos! Loads of love from INDIA 🇮🇳
Hi Nick, I’m from the UK and I’ve been watching your videos since your Korea days. I don’t usually write comments on UA-cam, but this video really moved me. I’m so sorry for your loss. But, turning that into something so positive - your Ironman, this amazingly put together video and putting a new meaning to ‘embracing the suck’ - you made your mother and everyone else around you proud. And as that’s the legacy she’s left behind on you, I hope you go on to inspire others to go and do the same.
Purchased my first road bike 3 days ago. Going on my first ride this morning and I stumbled across this video. This is exactly what I needed to see. Embrace unfamiliar terrain and role with it. That’s exactly what I’m doing today. Thank you for the inspiration!
Dude i love your work, i undestand your feeling. I was very sick, morbid obesity over 175 kg, and after 2 year of only sport, good diet and fasting i lost over 76kg and i keep going. May your mom rest in peace. You really made me cry. Cheers and much love from Paris (france)
You have been my inspiration for my first half ironman in June 2020. Eventually I will push to do the full... you are a true inspiration and hopefully one day I'll meet you. Class act!
Thank you for this video. I lost my mom 8/16/2019 to renal cancer, renal failure, congestive heart failure. I was her caretaker for the past year and watched her suffer terribly. I have been a subscriber for quite some time now and have been moved by your ability to discipline yourself. I really believe there is nothing you can't do once you make up your mind. Having said that, would you consider doing a video or a video series of helping others to develop their brain muscle so to speak, to becoming a disciplined human being, such as yourself. I feel like you could really help a lot of people including myself how to develop that level of discipline. Congratulations on your achievement. I can't wait to see what you do next. Thanks again Nick for being an inspiration to so many people!♥
I don't say this frequently (dare, I say, ever) -- but I am legitimately motivated, encouraged and moved by this video. I don't know how it showed up in my recommendations (wait, wasn't I just watching videos about how to sharpen my kitchen knives?) but I am so happy it did. Unbelievable accomplishment. Congratulations (on so many different things). I lost my dad when I was 17 and my mom when I was 28 - both to cancer. I very much understand the forced perspective of "how can I complain about my own life given the things I've seen those I love go through?". Way to harness it [and embrace the suck].
My dad passed away two years ago from CHF. I’m training & running the rock & roll marathon for him. I’m embracing the suck for him bc he embraced the suck for me. Keep pushing bro I’m by your side 🤙🏼
Watching this again hits different. My mom has been gone for a year now. I talk to her on my runs and miss her greatly. It awesome to see how much you’ve grown even from here Nick. Go One More
I lost my mom to cancer aswell when I was 15... Made me a so much more kind and positive person but I didn't know or realise why... This video opened my eyes man much respect
I have just one word to put it "INCREDIBLE" i can say that i've never cried before, when it comes to movies and i didn't think i could eather, but this one hits me. This is insane and inspiring! THANK YOU Nick!
You’ve inspired me to sign up for a half marathon this coming spring! I wanna do it and I’m gonna train to do it! All your videos have inspired me to do that much more Nick!
Amazing! I have done the Durban 70.3 and I am training for the full Ironman in 2021. True inspiration for doing this and showing that this race builds you and changes you. Even the training. Congrats on your amazing achievement!
Hi Nick, I came across your video and you have truly inspired me to complete an Ironman in honor of my uncle and grandfather who both passed away this year. I don't think you will ever truly understand how much you have inspired me today but I just wanted to thank you for this video. I am determined to complete an Ironman for them. It will be a long journey but I know both my uncle and grandfather will be with me the whole way to the finish line. Thanks again Nick
This was an amazing watch. I have the Paris Marathon in April in memory of a loved one and Im going to have" Embrace the suck" in my head through every step now!
Man, I really felt your pain when talking about your mum. Mine died when was I was 18 and my sister 15. She was a great sportsman and full of joy but she was dealt pretty bad cards with her health. Eventually she died from a stroke and the last sentence I ever heard anyone telling my mom was - "These are your children" told by my dad as she was not able to recognize us anymore. Few days later she passed away. Not a day pass by that I don't remember her. I am 40y old, have a kid of my own and pushing myself towards my first half and hopefully putting full marathon after that on my to-do list. I am happy for you that you were able to do this.
Ironman is one of the most challenging things a human can do. I've done a half ironman and few marathons and i cannot imagine trying to do those things carrying around all that weight and muscle. Its exponentially harder to do it when you are a big muscular dude. If you look at the top pros in this sport, they are all 150lbs of super lean athletes, in order to go fast and for long time, you have to be very light, so i salute you.
@Johnny Mad Dog this is the game of Efficiency. The heavy he is, the less he has. the strength he has( muscle fibre type 2a or 2b), is nothing to do with this sport mostly.
This guy is right. A person carrying around more weight burns more calories than a person carrying around less weight for this marathon. Take this analogy for example, if I gave you one tank of fuel for your toyota prius or truck, which one would you think would be able to make it farther using just one gallon of fuel?
Such a well made documentary, featuring all the key areas of your journey, so motivating and inspiring! Thankyou for creating such good content, keep in pushing yourself and smash your next challenge!
I'm crying. This is one of the most emotional and inspiring videos I ever saw! I lost my mom this march, she died also of cancer and I Know the pain! In our memories they will live forever. Keep on buddy you are amazing!
Thank you for sharing this Nick. Watching you cross the finish line gave me chills, it brought me back to when I finished my first Ironman. No one can ever take that accomplishment away from you. Congrats! Job well done!
The reason I watch these videos and subscribe everyday is Bc your motivation is big but the determination and your look in life will and as gotten you everywhere you want to go and more than you ever think you would
You may have (unfortunately) lost your mum but , you got a cool Dad! Bravo to you! What's really amazing is how fresh you were after the iron man, incredible!
Crazy commimtment dude! Respect from Germany . Im´ soon 25 years old and have decided since my dad died 2 years ago, to fully commit to living my life to the fullest. The mindest is already mindblowing from you! Love to hear this hunger. Lets make our life it´s best!
Very sad to hear about your mum. I've been following u on your perp for ironman form the other side of the world !SAMOA! And it was awesome to see u on the course. Meeting u on the halfway mark of the marathon was epic. Take care brother .
I discovered this man's videos about a week ago. I watched his final few Iron man prep videos and I've just watched this fantastic short film. I'm emotional. I feel this natural high coursing through me. Nick, you are truly one of the most inspirational people I've ever watched. You're living testament to dedication and breaking barriers that you decide to set for yourself. I've never met you but I feel incredibly proud. It's time for me to flick the switch on, and then break it. Thank you for your content, if it's helping me then I'm certain it's helping thousands of others. Thank you from the UK.
As someone who's watching this years later, it's still made an impact on my life. I hope this continues for however long this video is up. I have "Turn the switch on and break it" written on my office white board now. I pray for you and your family. I cant imaging losing my mother. She is my rock. I pray you all have healed this and know that God has a plan.
"To be honest, I thought it'd be worse..." My exact thoughts after completing an Ironman. It sounds so scary until you just go for it! You never know until you try!
so good. I cried for you at the end. What a wonderful way to celebrate your mums life and your own! There really is not much that compares to the red carpet of an Ironman.
Man this is my story. Not trying to take away from yours at all, in fact you inspired me to do my first marathon and I did it for my mom who passed away. For this I thank you nick
Unintentionally signed up for the same Ironman in Florida later this year! Been watching a ton of your videos and I love your drive! You’ve been very inspirational through my training so far!
Nick Bare! What a name! I really crawled through 2018 and 2019. I lost my grandfather in 2019! I'm out of shape and totally just really unappreciative of myself. I lost the only man that understands me. But after watching your video man! Thank you for sharing your courage and not your fear! I've been all talk but now it's time to tuck that pain away. Thank You Nick and God bless brother. Love from South Africa
wow goosebumps through the entire video!! My mom passed away in cancer august last year and ive been bodybuilding hardcore for 7 years but lately i lost some of my passion for it, i want to try something new and man i tell you this might be it or atleast more endurance to start with, more outdoors, more health involved. thank you, thank you so much you made my day!
Man I just watched this while training cycling at the gym, I'm recovering from a broken ankle I had 8 weeks ago, I'm also a bodybuilder who dreams of doing an iron man... this accident had crushed my motivation but here I am still striving this video just made me feel the most hungry I've been in this two months, thank U so much man, I felt like I was about to cry at the end... awesome video, so fucking inspiring! greetings from Argentina
Your mom has done a wonderful job raising you and I can feel the pride in your dad's heart. Kudos brother, I too am aspiring to become an IRON MAN and have turned the switch on and broken it!!!!!
Congratulations！I also became ironman in 6 month training 2018.2: paragliding accident, doctor said there's 25% risk that I can't walk anymore, so I search what is the hardest sport and want to finish it, I sign up a 70.3(113km) game but before the race day, I found It's a ironman game, I'm not sure I can finish it but I will try my best, so,2019.9: I became ironman(penghu, Taiwan, 226km) 2019.10: moto accident & I watching your video in hospital now
I can't thank you enough for this video. Im 234 lbs and in the worse shape of my life after battling cancer. As a military vet I want to rise out of this hell hole im in for myself and my family. You have helped me to renew my motivation brother and your journey so far has been awe inspiring.
It's crazy to think you were just in the Army a couple years ago, now your out in is a public figure to many I guess the Army do set people up for greatness. I'm starting to think I made the greatest decision of enlisting, I ship out to basic Jan 6th Ft Benning!
Went looking for running videos and stumbled upon yours a couple days ago(the one of you going for a mile PR on the track) UA-cam keeps recommending you since and I've been watching. This is the single greatest video I've seen this year. Thank you
You're a fucking legend. I randomly found your channel over 2 years ago and have been following since. You've become one of my biggest inspirations and people i look up too. I am on a weightloss journey and you've helped me over come a lot just by the content you create. You can tell through your videos just how passionate and humble of a person you really are. - All the love, Tiffany.
I know exactly what that's like man. I am on year 4 of being brain tumor free. Journey that will never end, till the day I die. Never met your mom but I know how that feels and I could always tell she is NEVER slowing down and saw that cancer would never destroy who she was as a person.

I love your brand, I love your mental state, and I love your perseverance. My mother passed a little over 2 years ago and my father this last May.

Holy shit man!!!
"Turn the switch on and break it" This is now written on the board in my Gain Cave.
Get it liz! Keep on rocking out the gain cave
fuck yeh Liz
I love that, "Gain Cave".
This is like drawing your sword then throwing the scabbard away.
bro he used a TONNE of anabolics and is lying about it. How is that motivational? If you used just a quarter of what he injects each week you would PR everything you do in training.
He deserves so many more subscribers it’s crazy
Mark Lovett I don’t understand how he doesn’t have millions already, but he’ll definitely get there!!
this is sad he needs more subscribers he DESERVES sooo much more everybody shouts him out on every social media you have lest get him to 1 mill the eventually get him the diamond play button !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He's definitely growing. I joined up around 80ish k and now he's at 315k. He'll get there.
He was my LT when I was at fort hood I tell you what he is good dude and I agree he should be over 1 mil subs
Totally agree man ..... this dude has done it all! Not to mention officer in the military ! Ranger too...... beast man....
The production quality of these videos are insane.
not as good a quality as the roids he takes though.

I remember racing with you in Florida! I was the dude in prosthetics. It as my first as well. Way to go man, loved this video...relieved that epic day! Thanks for doing this
You did Iron Man in prosthetics? I say way to go to you as well my dude.
I remember you
Great avatar. An elk hunter who uses prosthetics has my vote for being tough. Take care and god bless!
You did ironman in prosthetics? That's crazy!
Mate you’re beast 🤯🤯🤯
Great short documentary, just wanted to thank you for sharing your story. My inspiration is my wife. She is the reason why I am motivated everyday. Back in 2013 I weighed 335 and was able to lose 130 lbs to donate a kidney to my wife. She is my on switch everyday that gets me motivated to be the best person I can be. Best of luck to you.
Wow! Hope that the both of you do well! I'll pray!
Nick I'm in tears. My mom died suddenly when I was 17 from a heart attack. I look up to you so much as I'm currently in the army and struggling. Just know you're an inspiration to many to just keep pushing. Thank you Nick.
Stay in the fight brother 💪.. Don't quit, it will pass and you will come out on top.
Logan Stack don’t give up man keep going your mom will be proud of you!
You have 120 men in your company just go ninja for them
Nick you should sit down and think about your “breaking the switch” ideology and try and really describe how that has worked for you and you can encourage others to “break the switch” in terms of goals and consistency. Could make a great book actually. “Breaking the switch” by Nick bare

Hey Nick, just wanted to thank you, I’m not the fittest guy and I always thought that to be a runner you had to be super skinny but you’ve shown me that you can be big and still run. You’ve motivated me immensely in my training and you’re an amazing person
I've always told myself, "What you take for granted is a miracle to someone else, so don't waste it."
Great video man and may your Mother rest in peace. Prayers to you and your family.
The exact same thing I tell myself while running when the inner bitch wants to quit!
I had to hold back a tear or two at the end when his dad spoke... This guy is a true champion! He's got all my respect

Same here...
You dont have to imagine .. it will happen

Amazing accomplishment Nick! It was a pleasure to follow you during the process and to produce this film. We can't wait to see what's next!
Great production!
He has taken steroids so the steroids are still in his body, why he can do ironman?
Nom do you even English bro?
What a production! Well done ... Can you give me the name of the music you used at the beginning? She’s amazing 🤯
I still come back and watch this a couple of times a year.. if only to hear the line "I'm talking about turning that switch on and breaking it" -- something about that is so motivating to just keep going.
Bro I just wanna say I’m glad I had the chance to meet you. Where you are now compared to when I met you is inspiring. Much love and keep fighting
Oh my god, I did the same race, 2019 ironman Florida! I am an ex-bodybuilder beginning my career in triathlon. Inspirational video, thank you for making this. I think i remember seeing you pass me a couple times on the course.

stephen carlson lets go dude, you got this!!
You’ve got this

Jordan is killing it with these videos! RIP Linda
Purchased my first road bike 3 days ago. Going on my first ride this morning and I stumbled across this video. This is exactly what I needed to see. Embrace unfamiliar terrain and role with it. That’s exactly what I’m doing today. Thank you for the inspiration!
Everything about this is perfect. The way it's shot, your story, everything. Very inspiring.
Dude i love your work, i undestand your feeling. I was very sick, morbid obesity over 175 kg, and after 2 year of only sport, good diet and fasting i lost over 76kg and i keep going.
May your mom rest in peace.
You really made me cry.
Cheers and much love from Paris (france)
You have been my inspiration for my first half ironman in June 2020. Eventually I will push to do the full... you are a true inspiration and hopefully one day I'll meet you. Class act!
You can just tell from the short clips of his mom that she was such an inviting and caring soul. Congrats on your accomplishment. Embrace the suck
"I can't be prouder, one of the most proud moments of my life" a father to a soon. This sentence says everything!

I very much understand the forced perspective of "how can I complain about my own life given the things I've seen those I love go through?". Way to harness it [and embrace the suck].
Respect to this man and may his mother rest easy.
My dad passed away two years ago from CHF. I’m training & running the rock & roll marathon for him. I’m embracing the suck for him bc he embraced the suck for me. Keep pushing bro I’m by your side 🤙🏼
Dad: „one of the proudest moments of my life!“ You got me....tears are slowly coming
I almost cried fr
Son
i read your comment and cried lmaoo
Been crying.
Watching this again hits different. My mom has been gone for a year now. I talk to her on my runs and miss her greatly. It awesome to see how much you’ve grown even from here Nick. Go One More
Fuck that was emotional bro well done
I lost my mom to cancer aswell when I was 15... Made me a so much more kind and positive person but I didn't know or realise why... This video opened my eyes man much respect
That was one of the best uplifting/motivational things I’ve ever seen. Amazing job man.
I have just one word to put it "INCREDIBLE" i can say that i've never cried before, when it comes to movies and i didn't think i could eather, but this one hits me. This is insane and inspiring! THANK YOU Nick!
You’ve inspired me to sign up for a half marathon this coming spring! I wanna do it and I’m gonna train to do it! All your videos have inspired me to do that much more Nick!
Amazing! I have done the Durban 70.3 and I am training for the full Ironman in 2021. True inspiration for doing this and showing that this race builds you and changes you. Even the training. Congrats on your amazing achievement!
Go for it!
Hi Nick, I came across your video and you have truly inspired me to complete an Ironman in honor of my uncle and grandfather who both passed away this year. I don't think you will ever truly understand how much you have inspired me today but I just wanted to thank you for this video. I am determined to complete an Ironman for them. It will be a long journey but I know both my uncle and grandfather will be with me the whole way to the finish line. Thanks again Nick
This was an amazing watch. I have the Paris Marathon in April in memory of a loved one and Im going to have" Embrace the suck" in my head through every step now!
Man, I really felt your pain when talking about your mum. Mine died when was I was 18 and my sister 15. She was a great sportsman and full of joy but she was dealt pretty bad cards with her health. Eventually she died from a stroke and the last sentence I ever heard anyone telling my mom was - "These are your children" told by my dad as she was not able to recognize us anymore. Few days later she passed away. Not a day pass by that I don't remember her. I am 40y old, have a kid of my own and pushing myself towards my first half and hopefully putting full marathon after that on my to-do list. I am happy for you that you were able to do this.
Ironman is one of the most challenging things a human can do. I've done a half ironman and few marathons and i cannot imagine trying to do those things carrying around all that weight and muscle. Its exponentially harder to do it when you are a big muscular dude. If you look at the top pros in this sport, they are all 150lbs of super lean athletes, in order to go fast and for long time, you have to be very light, so i salute you.
@Johnny Mad Dog you know nothing dude
@Johnny Mad Dog this is the game of Efficiency. The heavy he is, the less he has. the strength he has( muscle fibre type 2a or 2b), is nothing to do with this sport mostly.
@Johnny Mad Dog you can try and see for yourself
This guy is right. A person carrying around more weight burns more calories than a person carrying around less weight for this marathon. Take this analogy for example, if I gave you one tank of fuel for your toyota prius or truck, which one would you think would be able to make it farther using just one gallon of fuel?
@Johnny Mad Dog sure he could do, but he will suck at running especially
Nick has to be the best UA-camr out there. No ones videos I look forward to as much as I do his. Such a massive inspiration in every aspect of life.
Such a well made documentary, featuring all the key areas of your journey, so motivating and inspiring! Thankyou for creating such good content, keep in pushing yourself and smash your next challenge!
I'm crying. This is one of the most emotional and inspiring videos I ever saw! I lost my mom this march, she died also of cancer and I Know the pain! In our memories they will live forever. Keep on buddy you are amazing!
I honestly can’t believe anyone would dislike this video.
A lot of bitter people out there who can't stand to see people doing well for themselves
Thank you for sharing this Nick. Watching you cross the finish line gave me chills, it brought me back to when I finished my first Ironman. No one can ever take that accomplishment away from you. Congrats! Job well done!
NICK BARE I'M CRYING SOBBING AND PUNCHING MY HANDS THIS WAS INCREDIBLE I HAVE SO MUCH RESPECT FOR YOU
Looks a beautiful lady , you’ll never get over her loss , it’s 15 years since I lost my mum . Great vid , thanks.
this just motivated the shit out of me man, truly inspiring! You're mother will be extremely proud no doubt!
The reason I watch these videos and subscribe everyday is Bc your motivation is big but the determination and your look in life will and as gotten you everywhere you want to go and more than you ever think you would
Your videos have been helping me "break the switch". Thank you.
You may have (unfortunately) lost your mum but , you got a cool Dad! Bravo to you! What's really amazing is how fresh you were after the iron man, incredible!
Keep it up man!! It’s great how you are fighting just like your mom until the end.
Crazy commimtment dude! Respect from Germany . Im´ soon 25 years old and have decided since my dad died 2 years ago, to fully commit to living my life to the fullest. The mindest is already mindblowing from you! Love to hear this hunger. Lets make our life it´s best!

Jockko, Nick and Dave would be a crazy video
Very sad to hear about your mum. I've been following u on your perp for ironman form the other side of the world !SAMOA!
And it was awesome to see u on the course. Meeting u on the halfway mark of the marathon was epic. Take care brother .
This is amazing man!💪🏼🔥
I discovered this man's videos about a week ago. I watched his final few Iron man prep videos and I've just watched this fantastic short film. I'm emotional. I feel this natural high coursing through me. Nick, you are truly one of the most inspirational people I've ever watched. You're living testament to dedication and breaking barriers that you decide to set for yourself. I've never met you but I feel incredibly proud. It's time for me to flick the switch on, and then break it. Thank you for your content, if it's helping me then I'm certain it's helping thousands of others. Thank you from the UK.
“Turn on the switch and break it” Congratulations Nick!!!
This gave me goosebumps. Love your dedication, Nick. Got a motivation boost as well to push through the hard times and obstacles
I just wanna say: THANKS NICK.
As someone who's watching this years later, it's still made an impact on my life. I hope this continues for however long this video is up. I have "Turn the switch on and break it" written on my office white board now. I pray for you and your family. I cant imaging losing my mother. She is my rock. I pray you all have healed this and know that God has a plan.
"To be honest, I thought it'd be worse..." My exact thoughts after completing an Ironman. It sounds so scary until you just go for it! You never know until you try!
Incredible performance, fueled by awesome preparation, serious drive & dedication and lastly, the emotion of knowing YOU did this for your Mom!
Damn, this video was right on time - I needed this. Thanks!
so good. I cried for you at the end. What a wonderful way to celebrate your mums life and your own! There really is not much that compares to the red carpet of an Ironman.
Inspiring stuff, he seems like a rly good person.
Man this is my story. Not trying to take away from yours at all, in fact you inspired me to do my first marathon and I did it for my mom who passed away. For this I thank you nick
"I thought about turning that switch on and then breaking it"
wow
Unintentionally signed up for the same Ironman in Florida later this year! Been watching a ton of your videos and I love your drive! You’ve been very inspirational through my training so far!
Great motivation and message.
Nick Bare! What a name! I really crawled through 2018 and 2019. I lost my grandfather in 2019! I'm out of shape and totally just really unappreciative of myself. I lost the only man that understands me. But after watching your video man! Thank you for sharing your courage and not your fear! I've been all talk but now it's time to tuck that pain away.
Thank You Nick and God bless brother. Love from South Africa
I really wonder what your bodyweight was before and after the race
Bruh
I’d guess 210 them 190
Probably didn’t actually lose that much if he was hydrating. I remember reading that a lot marathon runners gain weight during the race lol
@@Thaddeus_Howe might have meant before he started training and after the race
Lost a ton of muscle
wow goosebumps through the entire video!! My mom passed away in cancer august last year and ive been bodybuilding hardcore for 7 years but lately i lost some of my passion for it, i want to try something new and man i tell you this might be it or atleast more endurance to start with, more outdoors, more health involved. thank you, thank you so much you made my day!
Man I just watched this while training cycling at the gym, I'm recovering from a broken ankle I had 8 weeks ago, I'm also a bodybuilder who dreams of doing an iron man... this accident had crushed my motivation but here I am still striving this video just made me feel the most hungry I've been in this two months, thank U so much man, I felt like I was about to cry at the end... awesome video, so fucking inspiring! greetings from Argentina
Hahaha you're just another human slave
Your mom has done a wonderful job raising you and I can feel the pride in your dad's heart. Kudos brother, I too am aspiring to become an IRON MAN and have turned the switch on and broken it!!!!!
Congratulations！I also became ironman in 6 month training
2018.2: paragliding accident, doctor said there's 25% risk that I can't walk anymore, so I search what is the hardest sport and want to finish it, I sign up a 70.3(113km) game but before the race day, I found It's a ironman game, I'm not sure I can finish it but I will try my best, so,2019.9: I became ironman(penghu, Taiwan, 226km)
2019.10: moto accident & I watching your video in hospital now
happy recovery!
@@BedCrunch thank you😀
Get well soon man.
@@Chauhansahabthegreat happy new year, bro
I can't thank you enough for this video. Im 234 lbs and in the worse shape of my life after battling cancer. As a military vet I want to rise out of this hell hole im in for myself and my family. You have helped me to renew my motivation brother and your journey so far has been awe inspiring.
It's crazy to think you were just in the Army a couple years ago, now your out in is a public figure to many I guess the Army do set people up for greatness. I'm starting to think I made the greatest decision of enlisting, I ship out to basic Jan 6th Ft Benning!
Went looking for running videos and stumbled upon yours a couple days ago(the one of you going for a mile PR on the track) UA-cam keeps recommending you since and I've been watching. This is the single greatest video I've seen this year. Thank you
"Bonne maman" it's a french jam, it means "good mom"
deep respect! I watched the last 2 mins with tears in my eyes, pretty sure your mom is proud of you.
"kerrygold,pure Irish butter, doesn't get any better than this",Damn right it doesn't 😂
Plugra?
You're a fucking legend. I randomly found your channel over 2 years ago and have been following since.
You've become one of my biggest inspirations and people i look up too.
I am on a weightloss journey and you've helped me over come a lot just by the content you create.
You can tell through your videos just how passionate and humble of a person you really are.
- All the love, Tiffany.
From roids to no roids in 6mounths losing all gainz
Your the reason why people have so much motivation your mother is so proud of you 👍
From Dianabol to EPO in 6 Months
Your thumbs must hurt from typing :(
100% true
I know exactly what that's like man. I am on year 4 of being brain tumor free. Journey that will never end, till the day I die. Never met your mom but I know how that feels and I could always tell she is NEVER slowing down and saw that cancer would never destroy who she was as a person.
