    I just met John at the Atlanta airport. He took the time to say hi, shake my hand and listen to me being grateful for the content he puts out. He’s a humble and kind guy, just as he we see him on his channel. Much respect for you, sir.

    Great video! I love that you say you are failing forward. I think one of the keys is that there are men that really struggle because they can't separate the failure along the journey from that failure being who they are. The failure being one more step to moving towards a goal rather than the last stop. Tough stuff. Thanks for the videos, the motivation, and the dad jokes!

      Bro I don't know you but, if you are the one struggling, failure doesn't define you. You said it was a struggle which means even on the bad days your fighting it and that is admirable sir. I almost enjoy my failures because they are experience on my way to success and I know that I am inching closer. Remember God wont give you anything you can't handle. If your not the one struggling then please pass it on.

Now what I can do is be there as a medical first responder to help my younger brothers in their time of need. The pendulum has maxed out and is coming to rest.. :) Stay strong and keep your movement alive.

    I've been deathly ill for the past two and a half weeks. I've had multiple infections (it's a long story) and it's forced me to stay at home and relax. I was a workaholic before I got sick, and I left no time to myself... now I'm reminded of the value of relaxation, and although I'm improving and can't wait to go back to work and school and church, I think I'm going to get myself a little more relaxation time on the weekends. Being sick for so long has reminded me of the value of rest and boredom

    This makes so much sense. The other day i was so bored i didn’t even want to bother staying on the phone all day and there was literally nothing to do in the house so i got up and set up my ruck to go hike in the woods. Amazing little adventure i had for the day and that day made me realize how much i loved adventure which is one reason why i want to join the Marines.

    I needed this video! I blame the military for making me this way! Don't know when to rest. I just started dedicating two hours at the end of my day for mindless indulgence of video games. LoL I'm pretty sure this rest has led to better muscle growth and fat loss, along with daily gym routine. Also, I think John's feet didn't even touch the ground going up that hill! What a beast HOOAH!

    I used to work out like that, but then I injured my shoulder. Need to try to get back into it, even if I'm still not able to do everything. Vehicle pushes are fun! My favorite though was when we would run into the woods, find a downed tree, use axes to chop off a sizable chunk, and then team carry it a half mile back up the hill to the house. Good days...

      66 E check out "Strength Side" look for his beginner and follow along videos and "Athlean-X". Start where you are and don't injure yourself, we take longer to heal than we used to. To drop weight I kept a food journal. It is a lot easier to resist something so you don't have to write it down.
      Try doing stuff with the kids chasing them around is fun and you get your exercise in. Have a safe journey.
