James is the only person I’ve subscribed to on UA-cam..
Wow, I’m truly honored. 🙏👊 Thank you!
Man I appreciate this, I broke my leg in December and it required two surgeries with tons of plates and screws. I was in great shape leading into the accident and now one month after being released to walk again it’s been such a struggle to see myself back to where I was before.
Wow, you're an inspiration James. Anyone who complains about alleged systemic obstacles should watch this video.
I‘ve watched many of your videos and you did not look like you were someone who went to hell and came back. A car accident or any serious illness is a nightmare for anyone who never wants to stop lifting weight. Glad that you made that switch. Otherwise the world would have had one less great teacher in bodybuilding.
I appreciate it my friend!
I agree.
What a great inspirational story.
I appreciate it my friend.
Hi James, its Greg from France. I am 58 yrs old and using elastic bands for my fitness and well being. Your story inspired me a lot as last November in 2023 I was hospitalised with tonsil and larynx cancer. Thankfully I am « clean » now, nevertheless the 4 month recovery was long and difficult due to the chimiothérapies that completely weaken your body,…,but not your mind. Again, your real life story does inspire me and keep boosting fwd and I am sure for most of the people that follow you. Keep up and be strong !!
Hey Greg! First off, happy to hear that you’re well on your way on the road to recovery!
Thats awesome that you were able to extract some inspiration from the video. I know that when I was in the thick of everything that’s what I was looking for - someone who had been through something similar and had made their way through it.
Man you're story is a real inspiration, Never giving up through adversity and pain. God bless
Appreciate it brother! Sharing in hopes that it might inspire that person who's looking for some light at the end of the tunnel. I know I was that person at one point.
So glad these talks are back. James grage theory from 2017 was my favorite and a huge help for me.
Awesome! Glad you liked it. I've had a lot of requests to bring the podcast back but truth be told I started to wear out on the podcast concept (headphones & mics) 6 years ago. These days it's 100x's more saturated so I was looking for a way to have the same kind of conversations, without the traditional podcast format
This reminds me of your old pdfast a long time ago. Thanks for doing this again!
Glad you liked it. I’ve had a lot of people ask me to bring back the podcast but there’s definitely more than enough podcasts in the world today so figured this would be a good format to achieve the same goal
❤❤❤
Holy crap man, that is an amazing story! I didn't know you had gone through that. Very inspiring!
Yeah it was a long haul building myself back up
This video was actually really good, it happens to all of us especially being an author or whatever your profession is having to take a couple of steps back to move forward, it really knocks you back sometimes so your video was a great reminder to just keep taking thoses steps forward and to not ever give up whatever it is that you are doing so thanks for that
I agree. Inevitably we all experience setbacks. It's part of the journey
Really appreciate you sharing and continuing to be an inspiration. So happy you pulled through this very scary part of your life! Your exercise videos, knowledge and sincerity are awesome and my go to all the time! Thank you!
Thank you for the kind words!
I needed to hear this ... Thanks for helping me
Hey my friend. Glad you found it useful. 👊
God bless brother ❤ respect
Thank you brother!
Like a BOSS. That’s a strong dude full circle.
Absolute legend bro.
It is very commendable for you to have produced this, especially because I am confident you did it selflessly. We don't own knowledge, we just borrow it. Thank you.
Thank you. Like I mentioned in the video, I'm in no position to give someone advice, but I'm happy to share what helped me.
Thank you James. Thank you.
No, thank you my friend.
Brother. I know your story. Mentor motivation. God Bless.
Thank you my friend! Much appreciated
Nice video!!!!😍
I appreciate it.
You are my fitness idol man.i have learned so much from you and still improving ...thank you for all the good work
I appreciate it my friend!
I have partial damage to the supraspinatus tendon due to excessive training and performing risky exercises for the rotator cuff, unbeknownst to me at the time. Now, I'm unable to train and I feel depressed. Any type of workout, even simple push-ups, exacerbates the pain, which contributes to my depression. I undergo expensive shockwave therapy, but to no avail.
Pretty superation history, i havent seen that you use the bands for do exercices in the this last year😊
It's a great story--either you throw in the towel, or you push yourself to try to get back to normal (by working out, making small daily gains). I've gotten many good ideas from your vids, also vids on 'Mentzer/Yates' type high intensity vids, and I also do some 'knees over toes guy' things. Are you in FL? would be cool if you met up with kotg and did a vid together. I also follow Jay Vincent (he's in FL).
Yep. It's not what happens to us, it's how we decide to handle it.
Yes, I'm in the Fort Lauderdale area. One of these days soon I'll coordinate a meet-up somewhere and we can all grab a workout, etc
