Damn this needed to be made. Health is more than the body. And the pressure of it all can kill you if you’re not careful. Respect the Calum for coming out and speaking
Yeah the number one indicator of good health is a good gut, and the second indicator is good hormone balance. None of it relates to gym bros flexing their pumps in the gym
Respect to Calum for being humble and admitting struggle. I know I would have made the same mistakes or worse if I was in his position at that age with little guidance.
Absolutely amazing piece of content. You can tell Callum still isn't too comfortable talking about this stuff and you can see him almost forcing/pushing the words out sometimes, just to get them out there, because you can tell he really wants to spread awareness so others don't have to go through what he has gone through. Top lad. With time, I'm sure he can become an important figure in the space aslong as he stays true to his newfound calling. All the best mate.
When I started my own battle with depression and mental health years ago, one of the things that really inspired me was learning that even successful, confident, strong people can struggle with their mental health. Videos like this make a difference, so thank you to Calum for sharing, and thank you to Zack for being open and receptive, and spreading this message.
This is such a good interview, Zack you have a bit of a knack for asking good intelligent questions and then not interrupting. Great to hear Calum has been working on himself, temptation is no joke
I've been watching Cal for years, and I will say, I am proud of this man. I respect his transparency and his motivation to turn his negatives into a positive for other people and himself. Push to be a better version of you every day 🖤
I've never cared about bodybuilding. I watched Calum because he is fun. He is a bright spark. Always positive and having fun. It's cool to watch people go out and do things. Calum was one of those people.
This is so precious to find something like this on the internet. I really appreciate his honesty, self admittance, sense of accountability and will to not only find himself but actually do it and be in the process of doing it still. For the past couple of months I've been in the worst rut of my life. I've thought to myself numerous times that I must find out who I really am, yet have been unable to as I seemingly escape from that confrontation while tackling my problems one by one.
Top tier content. I've struggled with substances and mental health issues in the past, and it's so heartwarming and encouraging to hear similar stories from prominent figures in the communities I spend my time in. Thank you, Zack.
When this guy was down and out. And dealing with the struggles. A lot of UA-cam channels and content creators loved kicking him while he was down. Glad he made a comeback, recovered, and prove them wrong.
I would of thought it was the pressure of being sober and talking about his breakdown that made him seem off, plus he may never of had much experience in interviewing like this. That was some really heavy shit to come back from, add to that millions of people knowing about it.
im so glad he's doing better, been a fan of his for a long time and was gutted to hear about what happened last year. Just glad to see he's figuring himself out
I am so glad to see Calum turning his life around. He can get back to the top of the industry, just in another way. As a coach, mentor, and advisor to all those that have gone through struggles... Well done, Calum. I've always been a fan.
Off topic, but would love to see a front squat turorial by you, a lot of dudes on the tube do em, but not with a proper front rack, figured since you can clean a fridge this would be you area of expertise Great content!
That’s part of it all life is a test be a grown up be accountable own it. You helped me get through countless work injury’s and falling hard from my peak fitness and setting up for world record shearing attempt that was cut short from injury. I’m proud of you the best part is you can help others you have been at the top been at the bottom and lived to tell the tale. Still you have to live have a beer and train hard carnt wait to see you back at the top you can do it. Injury’s make you stronger. Your not a bad guy your human. No one can understand until they walk a 100miles in your shoes. Easy to judge others as well. It is a huge opportunity to be able to re group re gather start again. Remember the reason you started in the gym. I know I started for my mental health. Social media doesn’t help at all it creates a lot of fake ideals etc. be you man lift love live stay strong 💪🏽 mental health is harder to deal with then the physical injury’s
The real ones will NOT talk shit about you, been following you calum for over a decade. You the man, I stand my fucking ground. Happy to see you alive brother ❤
After Calums injuries and the unexpected deaths of Baz and Rexy Boi, that really threw Calum into a depression and dark place where nothing would ease his pain.
We never realize as we walk the streets that 90% of the people we pass are fighting some kind of demons. Instead we always asume everyone else is happy.
Still remember that night. Don't think I could of made a difference that night as we could tell you weren't in a good space. My misses and daughter was as well as neighbour was first there. My misses said that you were in so much pain that you were talking like an alien. So glad he's on a good path now but very sad about Eddie.
so much still to be said about what went on I know we all know alot from others that was posting it cause we all know social media fitness stars drama and life from people who have pages on making that stuff I want him to talk about the drugs stuff with his ex and girls and the girl he had a kid with the stuff in court people he was with and all the partying when he wasn't going to rehab would love to hear him talk about it and relate to others who have gone down a path that weren't famous like him and trying to change there life or did already from that life style im just so happy he didn't die or get locked up forever its like someone said when you see someone with some much success and been a good person and then life gose bad that make the wrong moves and choices then everything looks like there coming to a crashing end and people root for it to happen and move on saying well he had a good run knee he wouldn't make it knew I didn't like that guy some people are so negative I really was hoping for him to turn his life around back like many other in 2016 I was already watching cal from a couple years before when I got most into fitness and got in really good shape his personality was always good and golden once the injuries happen I didn't think it keep being bad for him then one thing to another and was sad I know we all make poor choices sometimes growing up but we live to learn from it and I'm glad he didn't lose it all to the choices he made and off the drugs I lost alot of friends to drugs meth being the main or fent didn't want that to happen to anyone even calum hope he can do some podcast and come back fully if it's in a new way or bodybuilding way I think now he's seeing how much the world cared for him this man is blessed to be admired by so many one can dream but always it comes with alot of pressure when all eyes are on you at all times keep it up old chap you know you got this hope they make another movie about him again like unbroken
I've never been a fan of Calum. Seeing him online, he came off as a complete douche. Maybe i saw this towards the end in recent years as he was in a downward spiral. Watching NSP and other outlets, it's tough to see someone fall and others gaining notoriety from those failures. Hearing him now is really great, and moving through his issues. Hope he keeps up the healing and builds himself back up.
This is in no way an attempt to bash Calum it's more of me telling everyone here that's holding a 9 to 5 we also have struggles, responsibilities bills to pay people to care for we also face plenty of stress and drugs, alcohol, women are within reach but we hold it down refuse to fall into those things and we keep working hustling for our families and responsibilities.... Pat yourself in the back
I have a bunch of new music coming out and I want to re release those older songs packaged in an album and more streamlined for potential label signings. I recently got management and long story short, we’re making a real concerted effort towards the music industry (alongside my current profession here in the fitness industry).
He has opened up many tomes before about his feelings, struggles and experiences, but he just ends up back in a ditch. Exhausting and fascinating. Will he ever learn? Repent and seek God.
I like how he is essentially blaming having access to success, females , $$$, fame , career, good will - as the issue in his life Lol And no mention of denial of paternity of child ( daughter I believe ). The public attacks on the mother … the leaving of the USA bc he did not want to lay child support ( after dna test)… the internet scam ( allegedly) involved in- that cost many $$$$ Poor Calum. Ugh. Wor is him..
Great conversation man! Props to Calum for opening up about this stuff.
Finn do you think Calum listens to brutal technical death metal or technical brutal death metal?
@@carterrourke5786 We all know calum has finn's underground metal elitist SoundCloud playlist. Spill the beans finn 🤣
Finn?? What you doing here??
Damn this needed to be made. Health is more than the body. And the pressure of it all can kill you if you’re not careful. Respect the Calum for coming out and speaking
Yeah the number one indicator of good health is a good gut, and the second indicator is good hormone balance. None of it relates to gym bros flexing their pumps in the gym
absolutely mate, the weights for me is literal therapy. i workout for the mental benefits rather than the physical at this point
Respect to Calum for being humble and admitting struggle. I know I would have made the same mistakes or worse if I was in his position at that age with little guidance.
Absolutely amazing piece of content.

Life is an uncertain thing, wish him the best.
Glad Calum is back on track. Stay on the grind brother, one day at a time.
Sounds like the grindset mentality is what did him in the first time. Kinda surprised he’s going back for more.
When I started my own battle with depression and mental health years ago, one of the things that really inspired me was learning that even successful, confident, strong people can struggle with their mental health.

This is such a good interview, Zack you have a bit of a knack for asking good intelligent questions and then not interrupting. Great to hear Calum has been working on himself, temptation is no joke
Yeah, he didnt hesitate one bit to pass the mic when calum needed to talk
I really thought he passed the mic really well and honestly, so much truth in this interview. Asked amazing questions
I've been watching Cal for years, and I will say, I am proud of this man. I respect his transparency and his motivation to turn his negatives into a positive for other people and himself. Push to be a better version of you every day 🖤
I've never cared about bodybuilding. I watched Calum because he is fun. He is a bright spark. Always positive and having fun. It's cool to watch people go out and do things. Calum was one of those people.
I like him because he's not bald, recessed chin and short. Good facial structure
@jjr1728 I can understand that. I feel the same way when I see a woman that isn't fat,ugly and lazy.
@@jjr1728I like him because he is an independent woman who needs no man
This is so precious to find something like this on the internet. I really appreciate his honesty, self admittance, sense of accountability and will to not only find himself but actually do it and be in the process of doing it still.

Honestly hoping and praying for the best for Calum wherever he decides to aim his efforts he has my well wishes. I can empathize with him.
Youre a role model and will guide people like me through tough times
Keep fighting...brother....you're owning it and being accountable ❤
Amazed how much more clear-headed and articulate Calum now sounds. Good luck.
When this guy was down and out. And dealing with the struggles. A lot of UA-cam channels and content creators loved kicking him while he was down. Glad he made a comeback, recovered, and prove them wrong.
Respect. Zack smashing with thoughtfulness and ideas as ussual.
I've been waiting to hear how Calum is doing. Keep working on it buddy you still are one of the best to ever do it.
Wow I would have never expected this colab!
Good on you Calum, not only have you overcome the worst, you're helping others who struggle without even realising it! Stay strong brother 💪🏼
Proud of Calum, he has always been cool to talk with! Keep.up the great work!!
What a great interview from both sides. Well done, gentlemen, and thank you.
Not too put a dampner on Callum or his progress but as a recovering addict myself I feel he's under the influence of something in this interview.
He seems sober to me. Maybe he's on prescribed medications?
Definitely not sober
Damn, just saw his last IG post. Definitely back in the party scene and I see the twitching and clenching throughout this video /:
That might be you bud. Put the bottle down you dosser
I would of thought it was the pressure of being sober and talking about his breakdown that made him seem off, plus he may never of had much experience in interviewing like this. That was some really heavy shit to come back from, add to that millions of people knowing about it.
Glad to hear hes on track now.
10 mins of content that every aspiring athlete should take in. Thanks Mr Telly; perfect motivation for me on a Monday morning!
im so glad he's doing better, been a fan of his for a long time and was gutted to hear about what happened last year. Just glad to see he's figuring himself out
Stopped following it all some 2 years ago. What happened last year?
Great to see Callum back, yes he went through so very bad times however he sounds level. Look out for what he does next in Fitness.
Take care CALUM.
Thank you Zack for the interview.
Always great to see people turning their life's around. Like he says this will be a lesson for life for him.
Great interview. Great conversation. Glad you put this out!
God bless CVM a legend wish him so much Joy n peace 🙏🏻
Calum is really proof of going down to earth again.
Love seeing this guy healthy again physically and mentally
This was awesome! Glad to see he doing much better.
TELLY is on a 🔥 streak with these vids. (Also got myself a “no excuses “ tee 🔥🔥
I am so glad to see Calum turning his life around. He can get back to the top of the industry, just in another way. As a coach, mentor, and advisor to all those that have gone through struggles... Well done, Calum. I've always been a fan.
Happy Calum is healthy again. Keep it up man!
Glad to see him doing well. Hopefully he can maintain this attitude and stay on track.
Great interview and great audio! Thanks for us being able to hear the interview! That is rare in fitness channels!
Off topic, but would love to see a front squat turorial by you, a lot of dudes on the tube do em, but not with a proper front rack, figured since you can clean a fridge this would be you area of expertise
Great content!
From a fellow aussie and Melbournian.. we are proud of you Cal.
What a nice guy. Hope he'll keep on fighting. It never end, brother. It never end. Keep it up 💪
man calum motivated me to lifting a LOT id watch his workout vids before the gym and life was great, id like to hope he is doing ok, miss u bro
I'm happy to hear he is doing okay, I remember he was one of my early binges when I was in like high school and first got into fitness
Godspeed to Calum, I will always support you. Stay focused on your recovery, keep lifting and call on God, everyday.❤
Glad to see him healing
Social media has such a lot to answer for, especially when it comes to the mental health of "young" people.
That’s part of it all life is a test be a grown up be accountable own it. You helped me get through countless work injury’s and falling hard from my peak fitness and setting up for world record shearing attempt that was cut short from injury.
I’m proud of you the best part is you can help others you have been at the top been at the bottom and lived to tell the tale.
Still you have to live have a beer and train hard carnt wait to see you back at the top you can do it. Injury’s make you stronger. Your not a bad guy your human.
No one can understand until they walk a 100miles in your shoes. Easy to judge others as well. It is a huge opportunity to be able to re group re gather start again. Remember the reason you started in the gym.
I know I started for my mental health. Social media doesn’t help at all it creates a lot of fake ideals etc. be you man lift love live stay strong 💪🏽 mental health is harder to deal with then the physical injury’s
Calum is a great guy. 👍🏽 nice conversation
great interview -we should see some sort of comeback of Calum
Calam looks so fresh, and clean...
The real ones will NOT talk shit about you, been following you calum for over a decade. You the man, I stand my fucking ground. Happy to see you alive brother ❤
Your pops probably Jack's off to his pictures...
arthur schopenhauer said it, once you're over the hill you begin to pick up speed, what comes up must come down, and he definitely went way up
I hope all the best for him. He seems much better
I watched your documentary on Amazon prime. Great movie and cool guy. People like you and not just because you exercise bro. Be safe and good luck.
Really proud of Calum
2:25. He didn't say "I can't live on my own"... He said: "I had to stay accountable on my own". And english is not even my native language.
I wish all the best for you, Calum!
After Calums injuries and the unexpected deaths of Baz and Rexy Boi, that really threw Calum into a depression and dark place where nothing would ease his pain.
Badass interview.
This is a good role model for young people today.
Damn this was nice
You can see it in his eyes he has changed. It literally looks like he has more thoughts going on up there.
calum is such a nice dude
For the algo gainz
💪
We never realize as we walk the streets that 90% of the people we pass are fighting some kind of demons.
Instead we always asume everyone else is happy.
Calums a real one that people can relate to Calum please don't do juice ever again we dont care if your huge or not we like you for you mate
Fantastic
Telander knocks it out of the park every time
Still remember that night. Don't think I could of made a difference that night as we could tell you weren't in a good space. My misses and daughter was as well as neighbour was first there. My misses said that you were in so much pain that you were talking like an alien.

Speaking as an addict, I can only imagine how much worse my life would have been if I had his level of fame to fuel it

I feel for Calum. Many used to hang off his coat tales to look good and now distance themselves.

good candidate to play Wulfgar the barbarian in a D&D movie. that character experienced Hell in the books
Zack thanx you.
What a nice dude
Glory to God ✝️🕊️
Why did so much of your music get removed from streaming platforms?!?
I have a bunch of new music coming out and I want to re release those older songs packaged in an album and more streamlined for potential label signings. I recently got management and long story short, we’re making a real concerted effort towards the music industry (alongside my current profession here in the fitness industry).
@@zacktelander Awesome! Far fearing the worst, the unknown is one of my favourite songs as of late! Happy to know there’s more coming
He looks healthier now…. Seriously
@zacktelander your a goat for this one
Woe is me comes to mind
I can’t get over his demon slayer earring tattoos
Content has definitely evolved a lot Zach. Great stuff 🔥
He has opened up many tomes before about his feelings, struggles and experiences, but he just ends up back in a ditch. Exhausting and fascinating. Will he ever learn?
Repent and seek God.
