This story is why you should never make fun of people. Or call them crazy. You never know what someone has been through. Sad as hell, but Inspirational as hell as well
This brother isn't telling HIS-Story...he is reliving it. The emotions....the sweat of palms. He is there all over again. Thanks for sharing bro. You and Pops "CT" is so inspirational. Bless you both
Man I didn’t know I was clicking this video. Man the story broke me down. I agree man thanks to them for sharing this. I had to watch this 1 in bits and pieces. Broke me down man.
@@keithmoore6334 same here fam. I was excited because I remember the first vid 8 years ago. Wasn't expecting this story but damn it resonated in so many ways. Glad to see the brother living in his power and inspiring so many.
You can literally feel this mans pain and makes you feel like you're living it. As a 40yr old man with a son, I thank God for the experiences that I went through because it has made me a real good dad.
Damn, here is a perfect example why you should truly get to know a person before you judge them based only on assumptions... More power to this young man and CT Fletcher!
To see a man this big and strong, an actual beast to talk about something like this and show his inner self so openly is so inspiring, I hope young people in similar situations take an example and overcome the faults of the previous generation, I always admired CT and this video is very insipiring!
I knew someone had to have made Hulk mad to become that big. What a story, just knowing his past and how he overcame it is so inspirational, Well done Kevin for getting it off your chest and thank you CT for letting him vent and listening to him, Now I'm not a man that gets emotional easily, but I suck a holding my tears when seeing another man cry
MAN!! Had me in tears! That brother overcame a life altering experience with some of the worst conditions imaginable and is still standing to this day. I salute you fam and your sister too. Stay forever blessed. R.I.P. Beastmaster
I was not expecting anything like this ; this may be the most motivational piece I’ve ever seen from iron addicts; this gonna be another historic one for the books. Just when they counted y’all out 💯
This was so POWERFUL!! IM A GROWN MAN AND IM CRYING REAL ASS TEARS. THIS TOUCHED MY SOUL. SALUTE TO YOU KEVIN AND YOUR SISTER. YOUR STORY AND YOUR WORKOUTS ARE A TRUE INSPIRATION. ❤❤💯
I went to school with Keven. We went to Sarah T. Reed together. You was so cool & was always making me laugh. I didn't even know what was going on until I heard that you went to jail. Looking at this bro, you had me crying in here bro. I didn't know the depth of what you were dealing with. Then the part about you being homeless, I wish I would've known your whereabouts because the way that my parents are I know they would've taken you in. I'm glad to see you doing good for yourself now though bro. I miss you fam. If you reading this, reach out to me fam. Would love to hang out for old time sake.
Man this was powerful. I've always knew that the strongest people physically were pulling from a painful place emotionally. This certifies it. Thank you for this Keven and CT. Continued blessings to you both...
As humans, we have to stop judging people and making fun of people. You never, ever know what that person has been put through, including myself. When he said he felt like a coward, I can relate 100%. Thank you for sharing your story.
This, is an example of how these situations, these hardships, sometimes builds the most respectful, the strongest, and the kindest people. These people that have gone through the most, makes them stronger than ever. Respect to you Kevin and CT. 🙏🏽 thank you for letting us in, especially when you don’t have to.
Never have I related to someone’s story this much before. Thanks for sharing this brother. Men like us can break the cycle and keep people safe especially our children. Love you bro.
This was EXTREMELY POWERFUL in so many ways. The way Hulk, and his sister, let us all into their pain and anguish brought on by their father was so hard hitting. Hulk took that pain and turned it into gains both physically and mentally and shared it with the world and didn't hold back the tears or sorrow. He showed that a real man no matter how big can have emotions, show them and STILL SMASH!!!! What a great video to help kick off 2022!!! Thanks Pops and Da Hulk!!!!!
Man this literally almost have me in tears.... His story can help alot of us who have had some form of childhood trauma. Im sure he has told his story a few times but something about this time he told it, Im sure he finally can say he forgave and feel much better.... Hes definitely an inspiration #HulkSmash
Most moving story I've heard possibly my whole life. The way CT's hands were shacking, but let Kevin talk... Just no words, moving is all I can think of.
My dad was the same way, I had the exact same treatment as you and your sister in my preteen years. Man this hit home bro, keep your head up you're a true legend.
Mannnn when I tell you this was the epitome of everybody wants to be someone or somebody else but you have noooo idea what they went thru to become famous. Soooo much respect for you 2 black men being transparent......both of my parents are still married after 43 years & I've never had to go thru anything like this im truly blessed in that area & thankful. God continue to give you, your sister & CT strength......yall got a strong black man shedding tears after hearing & seeing this interview. Thank you again for being open & vulnerable
Wow. That’s a hard hitting story. I can relate to abuse as a child but not on that level. If you brake the child it’s difficult to repair the adult. Much respect Kevin
This story has really hit deep with me. But seeing is sharing and knowing your not alone is a massive support. A life of pain, fear creates patterns. You can crumble or grow…… time to grow!!!
The most powerful thing about this story is the choice that Kevin consciously made to not become an abuser like his pops was. I always wonder the point in having children to destroy their self confidence by abusing them verbally and physically.
It hurts to hear this man call himself a coward. He was abused and couldn't do anything to help the situation. I wish his family would have stepped up earlier. Don't kill your self for what your dad killed in you.
There really isn’t much a family can do in these situations because the kids are made out to be dramatic and birds of a feather flock together. His father’s family was most likely cut from the same cloth.
@@kingwillie206 That ain’t no shit…typically the abused turn into the abuser because they know nothing else…but this man has some major balls to relive this shit and still come out a far better person than his folks…his mama was just as bad for brushing Kevin off like that
It takes a real man to confront this type of traumas head on. Mad respect bro and huge shout out to CT for allowing him to get this all out, many times in interviews like this there is no healing because the interviewer is constantly interrupting. You just helped this brother heal CT.
His story made me cry, angry, motivated, and focused. Most things I could relate to. Sometimes that s#*t hit home. I wish we had more content from him. We wanna support you Hulk💯💯💯
My God, I cried through most of this lesson. My father was that Man in our house as well, many of my friends had a Dad like mine. Not good. How we made it through mirrors your story. Love that we all made it Bro.
WOW. I watched the video from 8 years ago and was truly inspired by Kevin. Til this day, when I hit the bench, I hear CT yelling "Hulk Smash!". I clicked on this video thinking, "Great, he's back! Kevin is gonna catch a case when he murders those sets at the gym". This was NOT about battling weights. This was about battling demons...and a very specific one. Came expecting hardcore weight lifting and left with not only that, but 100X the inspiration I originally anticipated. Kevin, thank you for sharing your story. So great to see you back and living in your power. God bless.
The most powerful, heart-wrenching life story I've ever heard. To live through that and come out to what he did...Kevin is the strongest cat I've ever seen. CT, thank you for letting this young brother empty his heart to a man who actually cares about him. Damn man... Damn. Kevin...✊🏾❤️ Love you brother. I don't know you personally, but I don't have to in order to say that. ✊🏾❤️
From Intro to outro, I don't think I've ever seen something more powerful, inspirational, motivational, emotional, vulnerable, all rolled up in one ... thank you brothers for this. We all have a story to tell, and he who feels it knows it. God bless you all that you live to tell your side.
Thanks for telling my story too... My Dad was a large city cop and had sole custody of me since I was 6. The 16-year-old girl down the street moved with us when he and mom divorced. It was a fight until I left at almost 18 for Mom's in California. The beatings and putdowns were relentless. Cracked two of my ribs etc... no CPS was even going to listen or even stop by. When a group of mothers got together and wanted to take me, I was suddenly begged to come home after I was told to leave and was living in a park. I missed one day of school in three weeks. He prosecuted me, made up a whole lot of stuff, I was not allowed to speak. I was going to kill him with some nonexistent axe when we had loaded guns on every table in the house. Psych ward, Jail, Drug rehab. All to save his job because the mothers had reported him to the department. Thank you for your story, I am sort of glad I wasn't alone.
Hulk being so open about him and his sister child hood trauma had me in tears. I thank you for simply showing why you are the man you are today. It's forcing me to deal with my child hood traumas I endured as a child. Thank you so much Hulk and CT!!
My God. CT and Kevin, thank you for sharing this story. Many of us in our culture go through some type of abuse from our parents, and how we carry this pain through our entire life without any therapy is amazing. But stories like these let us know that there is hope and how we turn our pain into success is what makes us stronger.
Man we can learn so much from each other man I had no idea he went through this my inspiration all day long I'm 44 and Older than him ..all praise to our ancestors..for they're bravery flowing through our vain ..people we are stronger than we think we as a people gotta do better..and stop killing each other..good Kevin the Hulk you made a bad situation turn you into a leader....for other young men out there good work sir
My heart hurts for all the pain you went through Hulk. You are an amazing inspiration. Tears in my eyes as I write this. Thank you for protecting your sister and growing to be the hero you are today. Thanks to Pops "CT" for reliving this with you. Sending good vibes your ways. Always.
Man I had tears in my eyes this video. One of my main motivators for going so hard in the gym was the abuse I endured as well. I needed to hear this...we are truly hot alone in this world even though our abusers want us to think we are. God bless you CT and Kevin.
Incredible, had me choked up listening to his story, being vulnerable and opening up to the world, it takes a real strong man to do that. My hat off to you Kevin, you are an inspiration. Thank you CT for this powerful video. Everyone who is able to, do a 225 max reps next bench session to show support.
Thank you CT and thank you Kevin for speaking out about this. Your story needs to be shared because you are not alone. Much love and respect to you both and to those going thru the same issues. Thank you both
The way it transcends from a story of child hood trauma that seems too unreal into the present and he SMASHES 77 reps of 225 figuratively overcoming his past gave me chills. Okay if that isn't a motivational video I don't know what is. 🔥🔥🔥
Wow this really touch my soul.....I feel the tears running down my face listening to Kevin because of my childhood!! Thank u CT and Kevin so much for putting part 2 together !! Listening to you guys give me stress!!🙏💪
CT God bless you and Hulk. Unaddressed trauma has destroyed many of us. Thank you for exposing the injury so we can heal. And also exposing the wicked and evil criminal injustice system. Thank you sir.
I came in with great expectations for another energy pumpIng hulk smash video. I saw and left with deeper inspiration.Mr Washington, I was feeling your pain, your grief, and your motivation to become a better man.You are the real hulk
This was so deep, you never know the pain a person carries through life. To see where Hulk has come since the trauma of his youth is amazing. Keep smashing bro!!!
Man most powerful interview and motivational I’ve ever seen on any platform. CT And Hulk pure example of Black men being vulnerable and strong at the same time. ✊
I had to stop this one early. Too heavy for me right now. Props to Kev and CT. May God bless and continue to bless you guys. And Kiev’s sister as well🙏🏾
Thank you for sharing Keven, sending you a BIG HUG from New Zealand. I'm sorry your father treated you like that, you are blessed to be able to move forward with life and be a better role model for your kids and be everything your dad was not. I pray God will let all the pain inside you release and calm will flow over your life. Head up, now walk forward knowing you will make a positive impact on millions. #Bless #godiswalkingwithyou
Praise God for this testimony. Such a sad but inspiring story from Kevin. CT, you will always be my ultimate motivator. I've also learned a lot of right from a lot of wrong from my childhood. This was just so incredible to watch and listen to. I pray for your continue healing and self forgiving. Keep SMASHING HULK!!!
Crazy how his dad told him he’ll be lucky to make it through the night and he was the one that didn’t make it. I’ve always had mad respect for Kevin since he told his homeless story.
Thanks for the inspiration, Mr CT and Big Brother Hulk, I suffered a lot of verbal abuse in my past and mistreatment from peers and family members, I'm 53 now and I still work out to get some of that past dirt off of me , thanks for sharing this.
Man.. this damn near got me in tears. I definitely feel your pain. My abuse came from my mother. Then to always be told to just get over it. Mental health is very important.. we need help! It's what causes our anger, aggression, stress, etc.. I remember having to take beatings for my brother as well.. my mother was too brutal.. he was an bad asthmatic and very sickly child. My mother was ruthless... I drink and smoke heavily, very aggressive, etc.. because of it. I realize.. just gotta get help. I salute you, man. You aren't alone.....
WTF damn CT you had me hype thinking of the first Hulk smash video I thought this was going to be a strong work out video…instead this was a even better video boss man this is a soul video man 😔 I feel your pain I ran away at 14 for my moms same BS. I salute you Hulk! The weight room has been for a while my therapy, keep up the good work the hard work the both of you.
Deeper than soul. This is a testimonial video for all those ppl that are hurting and hide behind the weights or hide certain things. It take a real man or a woman to confess and let that out so the healing can begin. Blessings
This video is extremely motivating because I was also abused by my father. Even though it made me stronger I always wished things were different but I'm glad to still have him in my life. Big respect to Kevin for tellin his story.
I held back the tears until 21:00. This is heavy. I have a soso relationship with my father but I appreciate that when I do talk to him he encourages me and tells me positive things. He barely calls and checks up so I always resented him that my friends Dads were heavily in their lives and my Dad only called on holidays and birthdays. I'm grateful that I have a relationship at all now I take it for what its worth. I love my Dad. When you think you got it bad someone else has it 10x worse.
I’m literally blown away…speechless. I thought I was gonna see another CT/Hulk smash video throwing around some huge weight. That video had some heavy weight alright, right in the feels. I respect the shit out of you both. Thanks for making this. 💪🏿🏋🏿♂️
That interview sent shock waves through my body. Hulk is a good dude for real, he's what I call a man's man. When he said to his dad that he will take the beating for his sister, I'm not going to lie, I cried, because that's what a man is suppose to do. That shyt hit me so hard, I had to stop the interview. It shook my soul. I'm a survivor too, and I vowed not to be like my dad because he was two different people, the good father when he wasn't drinking. Then the abusing control monster when he was. I made sure that my kids never slept in fear, or be afraid to make mistakes in life, because we've all made them. CT, I always admired you too big Bruh! thanks for letting us get a glimpse inside the same world that some of us were a part of and didn't know it.
Powerful. It's crazy hulk smash was the first video of yours I ever saw years ago. It popped up in my notifications and I was subscribed since. And to wake up today and see this after not seeing a video in my notifications for a few years. God sent! This was POWERFUL
He told me about his past several time, but never in detail. This story is a true testimony! Could be a movie!

Man I had tears in my eyes this video. One of my main motivators for going so hard in the gym was the abuse I endured as well. I needed to hear this...we are truly hot alone in this world even though our abusers want us to think we are. God bless you CT and Kevin.
Incredible, had me choked up listening to his story, being vulnerable and opening up to the world, it takes a real strong man to do that. My hat off to you Kevin, you are an inspiration. Thank you CT for this powerful video. Everyone who is able to, do a 225 max reps next bench session to show support.
I cant imagine the strength it took this man to share his Horror & Pain this way. He's definitely a Hero & I wish him all the best💯👊🏾
Thank you CT and thank you Kevin for speaking out about this. Your story needs to be shared because you are not alone. Much love and respect to you both and to those going thru the same issues. Thank you both
Watching with tears flowing down my face!😢 truly inspiring.
Never know what somebody been through are going through! Amazing how you bounce back hulk! Much respect
CT Fletcher is the motivation that we didn't know we needed but glad we we have him now
The way it transcends from a story of child hood trauma that seems too unreal into the present and he SMASHES 77 reps of 225 figuratively overcoming his past gave me chills. Okay if that isn't a motivational video I don't know what is. 🔥🔥🔥
Crazy! smh Meanwhile I'm trying to bench 225lbs 20 times smh
Yo you’ve helped a lot of men by sharing this Kev…God bless you Brother 💪🏽
Wow this really touch my soul.....I feel the tears running down my face listening to Kevin because of my childhood!! Thank u CT and Kevin so much for putting part 2 together !! Listening to you guys give me stress!!🙏💪
Much respect to the Hulk . Ct Fletcher is back with the intensity I haven’t seen in awhile it’s motivating everything about this video is . 💯💯 SMASH!
CT God bless you and Hulk. Unaddressed trauma has destroyed many of us. Thank you for exposing the injury so we can heal. And also exposing the wicked and evil criminal injustice system. Thank you sir.
Wow. Big respect. Something no children should have to go through. Amazing you turned things around.
It was good that he was brave enough to tell his story it feels like he was holding it in for so long it was a sign of relief to let it all out
This is so emotional what he went through. He is a strong courageous person. It’s a blessing he came through this it didn’t break him.
What a great song to go with this very emotional story. The 77 reps was icing on the cake. You guys are true and dead game. Much respect ✊🏽
What’s the name of the song
It’s crazy what we get from pain. There’s nothing I can say aside from thank you for this piece. Abuse is never a justifiable action in any manner.
I came in with great expectations for another energy pumpIng hulk smash video. I saw and left with deeper inspiration.Mr Washington, I was feeling your pain, your grief, and your motivation to become a better man.You are the real hulk
This was so deep, you never know the pain a person carries through life. To see where Hulk has come since the trauma of his youth is amazing. Keep smashing bro!!!
I so glad you are still here CT. No matter what, you are still here!!!!
Man most powerful interview and motivational I’ve ever seen on any platform. CT And Hulk pure example of Black men being vulnerable and strong at the same time. ✊
Amen!!
I had to stop this one early. Too heavy for me right now. Props to Kev and CT. May God bless and continue to bless you guys. And Kiev’s sister as well🙏🏾
It's been 7 days...🧐. You finish it yet?
Did you finish ?
soft
100% agree. Blessings who all been through this story
Bro…if you got a family. Put them to bed find a separate room and watch it. 👍🏾
Hulk smash was my first CT Fletcher video, and I haven't been the same since.
But this video was really powerful; touching.
Wow , Thank you Kevin. You give a lot of people so much inspiration. I wish I had the opportunity to meet the crew.
Thank you for sharing Keven, sending you a BIG HUG from New Zealand. I'm sorry your father treated you like that, you are blessed to be able to move forward with life and be a better role model for your kids and be everything your dad was not.
I pray God will let all the pain inside you release and calm will flow over your life. Head up, now walk forward knowing you will make a positive impact on millions. #Bless #godiswalkingwithyou
Praise God for this testimony. Such a sad but inspiring story from Kevin. CT, you will always be my ultimate motivator. I've also learned a lot of right from a lot of wrong from my childhood. This was just so incredible to watch and listen to. I pray for your continue healing and self forgiving. Keep SMASHING HULK!!!
Crazy how his dad told him he’ll be lucky to make it through the night and he was the one that didn’t make it. I’ve always had mad respect for Kevin since he told his homeless story.
Instant karma
@@streetsiswatching9660 big facts
Hmm pretty chilling. He got what he deserved sadly. Glad hulk is forgiving himself
Thanks for the inspiration, Mr CT and Big Brother Hulk, I suffered a lot of verbal abuse in my past and mistreatment from peers and family members, I'm 53 now and I still work out to get some of that past dirt off of me , thanks for sharing this.
Man.. this damn near got me in tears. I definitely feel your pain. My abuse came from my mother. Then to always be told to just get over it. Mental health is very important.. we need help! It's what causes our anger, aggression, stress, etc.. I remember having to take beatings for my brother as well.. my mother was too brutal.. he was an bad asthmatic and very sickly child. My mother was ruthless... I drink and smoke heavily, very aggressive, etc.. because of it. I realize.. just gotta get help. I salute you, man. You aren't alone.....
This Video Is Everything!
WTF damn CT you had me hype thinking of the first Hulk smash video I thought this was going to be a strong work out video…instead this was a even better video boss man this is a soul video man 😔 I feel your pain I ran away at 14 for my moms same BS. I salute you Hulk! The weight room has been for a while my therapy, keep up the good work the hard work the both of you.
Deeper than soul. This is a testimonial video for all those ppl that are hurting and hide behind the weights or hide certain things. It take a real man or a woman to confess and let that out so the healing can begin.
Blessings
Very powerful video Pops. Thanks for sharing your story Hulk, much love man. God bless you man.
This video is extremely motivating because I was also abused by my father. Even though it made me stronger I always wished things were different but I'm glad to still have him in my life. Big respect to Kevin for tellin his story.
I held back the tears until 21:00. This is heavy. I have a soso relationship with my father but I appreciate that when I do talk to him he encourages me and tells me positive things. He barely calls and checks up so I always resented him that my friends Dads were heavily in their lives and my Dad only called on holidays and birthdays. I'm grateful that I have a relationship at all now I take it for what its worth. I love my Dad. When you think you got it bad someone else has it 10x worse.
In tears, With the most respect, Thank you all for this.
I’m glad you’re using your voice for people that feel weak and helpless hopefully your story will encourage them 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Wasn't expecting this 😢. Powerful video 💪
I’m literally blown away…speechless. I thought I was gonna see another CT/Hulk smash video throwing around some huge weight. That video had some heavy weight alright, right in the feels. I respect the shit out of you both. Thanks for making this. 💪🏿🏋🏿♂️
Facts
That interview sent shock waves through my body. Hulk is a good dude for real, he's what I call a man's man. When he said to his dad that he will take the beating for his sister, I'm not going to lie, I cried, because that's what a man is suppose to do. That shyt hit me so hard, I had to stop the interview. It shook my soul. I'm a survivor too, and I vowed not to be like my dad because he was two different people, the good father when he wasn't drinking. Then the abusing control monster when he was. I made sure that my kids never slept in fear, or be afraid to make mistakes in life, because we've all made them.
CT, I always admired you too big Bruh! thanks for letting us get a glimpse inside the same world that some of us were a part of and didn't know it.
Powerful. It's crazy hulk smash was the first video of yours I ever saw years ago. It popped up in my notifications and I was subscribed since. And to wake up today and see this after not seeing a video in my notifications for a few years. God sent! This was POWERFUL
Much Love & Respect Kevin and CT for doing this.
Man this story had me in tears had no idea hulk went through all this 🙏💯
