When I started I befriended a workout buddy and the rest was history. He motivated me most days and taught me a lot. I also used pre workout a lot and listened to ct Fletcher and Elliot hulse before workouts and Physique of Greatness or hodgetwins when I was looking for inspiration or information/sitting around on a rainy day. The wealth of information they all contain is enough to get you literally looking like Arnold in a year lol I am living proof man they teach you how to be self motivated and driven towards independent goals that benefit everybody around like mastering form and performing full sets or motivating yourself for early morning runs in the rain.
@Charlie Guinn Exactly. A gym buddy is super helpful. Makes you push out that extra bit of effort, do that last set till failure, that extra 2 and a half reps on your last set when you would have stopped if you were by yourself. It doesn't even have to be someone you know. If your solo at the gym, ask the biggest guy near you for a spotter. BAMM there's your new gym buddy
Hey bro first thing id like to say is ive been watching you for over a year and your body transformation is incredible dude you absolutely killed it! Secound thing id how much you progressed in bmx man you turned into a great rider and an even better role model keep it up man you are a true inspiration !
OBB! Your BMX journey is my favorite part about the SC channel. Of course I love seeing Scottys progress too with his recovery. But I've been interested in your journey for longer than that. Don't take this in a weird way but I hope Scotty appreciates you and what you've done for his channel as much as you obviously appreciate him and what he's done for your life. I think you're going to see how much you mean to the BMX community when this youtube channel blows up faster than you could have ever imagined.
Big Boy, it’s amazing to see how much you’ve improved! Not only getting in shape but also learning to fly on your bike! I stopped eating dairy 3 weeks ago and noticed my skin clearing up. Hearing that it helped you is great motivation to keep up this new diet! I watch your new videos every day on the Scotty Cranmer UA-cam channel and have used them to help me learn bmx. That channel is also the reason I picked up my bmx bike in the first place. Thanks for doing what you do!
Thanks! When I watched the "TEACHING BIG BOY HOW TO HANG 5!" video, I needed to learn the trick myself. After a little over a year riding my bike, I put together a quick video inspired by you and the Scotty Cranmer crew! If you UA-cam search "Joshin' Around BMX FUNdamentals," I would love to get some feedback on how I can improve. The thumbnail is a picture of me standing on my seat and handlebars. I know you're busy but I wanted to share the video with you!
Big boy you are such in inspiration to everyone whether it is weight loss or BMX riding. I love your positive attitude and silly personality. Your perseverance is incredible and keep doing what your doing!
OBB....great video. over a year ago you did this. Remember now I'm 72, been working out since I'm 27. Working out/exercising is NOT a doing something for losing weight.....its a way of life. You must do this forever, and you'll feel great. My brother was benching pressing 400 lbs.when he was 70 ish. Keep this life style up and you'll do good. Aunt Chammy
I was at the find your fight jam and asked if you were going to more videos and you said maybe but I just want to inspire people and you did you inspired many people
OBB, I've been subscribed to Scotty's channel since 37k its amazing to see how far you've come physically and mentally. You should deffinatly be more than proud of yourself. 2 questions. Will you ever go back to face the rail in big boy vs rail in Scotty's first video. And second, I'm trying to loose weight myself right now. I've gotten down to 217 from 250 before then lost all motivation and am sitting at 260 now. My question is what is your primary meal plan? Do you eat the same day after day or do you change it up? Also how many meals a day do you eat?
Thanks for this video! It gave me hope and inspiration. I am also 6'4 and ive gained about 65lbs in the past 2 years due to ACL injuries. I think im ready start getting back in shape, thanks man for real!!
Hey OBB my name is Isiah and am on a similar boat as you were a few years ago I’m almost 300 lbs and I struggle with diet and exercise and I just want to say that you are a huge inspiration seeing you transform on Scotty’s channel makes me want to get up and lose weight too my question is what workouts did you do to start out your journey?
CrazyManGaming if you're struggling with both try just focusing on the diet. You'll lose weight and feel a lot better physically and mentally and then later add the working out. It makes working out so much easier cause you're not self conscious and you're kinda in better shape or at least you feel like you are because your body doesn't have to work so hard so everything is just so much easier and you feel so much more flexible without a gut in your way. Anytime I'd really let myself go I'd diet for a little and then I'd actually feel like I wanted to go workout again after I cut down a little and didn't feel like a whale trying to unbeach himself when I worked out.
Best thing you can do is pick some tricks and go at them. You get exercise without realizing it. Stay excited about riding, and you never need to worry about will power. Big Boy looks great, but you don't need to be that fit to be generally healthy. And the sugar drinks....delete that stuff, or slow it up significantly.
I would suggest Obese To Beast channel on youtube, watching him helped me lose 30 pounds so far, lots of diet and workout tips and a great place to start losing weight.
listen buddy, do what you can at the moment and stick with it for now and be proud of yourself....for example leave something out of your diet or substitute something. thats it...then in time, add another thing...you dont have to do it fast, because you need to do this for a long time, just take your time, you brain will develop habots and adapt....trust me. I was a pot smoking, lazy piece of shit, 5 years ago I started with 3x10 minutes crosstrainier pwe week...then I made my nutrition better, a little at a time, as I said...today Im still not where I want to be or could be but I developed habits and stratoegies to keep at it for maybe forever...be crative, take your time, dont let the instagram bs pressure you...
You are my inspiration. I have watched you and the crew on the scotty cranmer channel for the past year or 2 and the improvments you have made in bmx and weightloss truley inspire me. Carry on doing what you do 👊
You have alot of options with this channel. You can do some gaming and do some riding and also workout stuff. Then you might start making some money off of this
Watching the channel for a while, you have done an amazing job with your health and skills on the bike. Showing everyone that with drive and commitment like yours they too can do it. Disiplin.
Getting Dicey working out is really to build/retain muscle. Working out really sucks for losing weight. It's all about the diet. Yes, cardio burns extra calories and therefore fat but it's really not that clear cut. Like if your insulin is high, you're not gonna burn shit. If your cortisol is high, you're gonna hold water and gain weight. Hormones control your weight more than you'd imagine and your diet controls your hormones. If you're working out trying to lose weight, you're just wasting your time, UNLESS your diet is 100% in check. Trying to work out without a good diet is like building a house with no foundation, it just won't work. I've also lost 100 pounds before and majority of the weight was lost purely from dieting although I did do a 5k training program during that time but the extra fat I burned from it was honestly pretty negligible in the grand scheme of things. I've also found the more I work out, the more I want to eat too so it's always been easier for me to cut down without all the extra cardio and lifting. Once you get lean you're gonna want to really worry about what lifts and weights and reps and sets you're gonna need to do for muscle growth but if you're concerned with retaining as much muscle as possible while losing weight, you're gonna want to lift heavy sets on compound lifts with low reps to retain that strength and muscle mass. I know you asked OBB but I just wanted to mention this because so many people think you gotta work out to lose weight and they want to know what machine is gonna burn the most fat and all that when in reality all they need to do to lose weight is fix their diet and if they want to speed it up a little they can hit some cardio. Not trying to say lifting is stupid or pointless cause it's not at all and has tons of benefits but for people who really just want to lose weight and be healthier, all they need to worry about at first is the diet.
im sorry but i really disagree with your comment.. sure dieting is a huge major factor is weight loss but your acting like working out is something you shouldnt be doing at all... working out is a great tool for people to use when it comes to weight loss, as it not only burns calories (YES EVEN LIFTING BURNS CALORIES) as well as it increases your overall metabolic rate meaning that your body burns more calories over time.
you the fuggin man big boy! love you on scottys channel and youre definitely an inspiration. im 300 and only 5 10 been heavy all my life and trying to get my head right to start living healthy for me and my 11 year old son. thanks for being you. also calling out a flair challenge on you lol. rock on bro
Pablo Vega feel ya bro. I'm like 180. And still hold fat in my lower back. I noticed a significant change when I adjusted my diet on top of my workout of course.
Sketchy Offroading try lifting weights 4-5 times per week if u do that then just add in some cardio after weight lifting plus you can try intermittent fasting (look it up)
try intermittent fasting. look it up; ive done it for over a year and lost about 25 pounds along with most of the fat. im 5'11 and was weighing at 177 but now im hovering around 150.
Definitely needed to show big sweaty from the 1st video at the slab.... the boob sweat in that was hilarious. Great job obb, and very cool of you to share your story to inspire others
Thanks for sharing Bro! Been with you guys on the channel! Love the hard work and your persistence! I'm back into riding and working out consistently at 41 years old! Looking Great Brother!!!!👍🏻💪🏻🏁
Crazy man but big boy you should talk to josh perry and make this a fitness channel he is a nutritionist and a bmx rider his story is crazy instagram is joshperrybmx
JavaMamaLama I'm honestly not a fan of vlogs. They're always just clickbait. I like when I click a title and then it immediately gets into why I clicked it. I don't want to watch 9 minutes of bs filler just so it fits the UA-cam algorithm. Big Boy could probably make some interesting vlogs that would be better than most but I hope he doesn't do straight vlogs like John Hill. Even Scotty's channel doesn't really consist of a vlog to me. He opens it and says what they're gonna do then they immediately do it and spend the whole video doing it. That's a format I really love.
Death Squirrel it's the best type of excercise group to burn calories but if you're talking about best way flat out to lose weight, dieting is. Dieting is the only way to lose weight honestly. You can run for days but if your diet is all messed up you're not gonna see any results other than increased stamina. Research how hormones like insulin and cortisol effect weight loss and gain and you may be shocked that mainstream health has a lot completely misconstrued. Calories In vs Calories Out isn't the clear cut formula to weight loss like a lot of people preach. There's a guy who ate a whole pizza in an hour for a period of time and he lost weight but when he tried to eat the pizza throughout the day he gained weight because his insulin stayed high all day and his body couldn't access fat reserves. Cardio is honestly over rated. Half the body builders, natural ones included don't even do cardio because their diet is so in check. Chris Jones is a great example and he's regarded as natural by others in the industry as well. He just has fantastic genetics so he can look a little roided out sometimes but his FFMI is only in the genetically gifted range when you put it all on paper. I fucking hate cardio with a passion and if you do too, don't worry, you don't even need it to lose weight. If you actually enjoy it keep on though cause it will speed the process up a bit and I do miss the stamina I had when I used to practice running 5ks.
will johnson the increased stamina was the only benefit I really liked. I think I get enough cardio riding my BMX and it's way more fun so I just stopped worrying about cardio. If I fuck my knees up, it's gonna be doing a gnarly ass trick, not running till I wore my cartlidge out lol. Not hating or dismissing the benefits, I just loathe running and the payout isn't worth the effort. The comment was more directed to people feeling like they were never going to be able to lose weight because they hated cardio and could never push themselves to actually do it.
OBB Glad you got your own channel brother! Seeing your weightloss journey has inspired me to create my own. Right around a year ago my health was in bad shape and I was pushing 400lbs. Then I watched as you steadily lost weight and got in better shape. I changed everything in my life, started riding BMX(which I'm not very good at but hey I give it my all), and going to the gym more and now I'm just under 300. My goal weight is 220lbs(what my Dr told me would be healthy for my bone structure) but I'm gonna try to get down to 200 and then bulk back up to around 220-230 in muscle. Thank you brother for the inspiration. When I first started working out I was around 385, now I'm down to 293 and dropping more and more every day.
So happy for you bro. I love hearing other people's weight loss stories since I myself lost 170 lbs in a year (400 to 230 pounds). Just cool to hear from other people that have been through the same process.
I admire your journey, and struggle on my own weight loss journey also. I went through a very dark point in my life these last three year where I gained another 50lbs. I got divorced, started drinking and smoking again, and peaked at 285 at 6’1”. In the month I’ve been working out I’ve lost about 14lbs but I am having a hard time staying motivated to go to the gym. I still struggle with depression and other factors in my life that are keeping me from giving 110% at the gym and with my eating habits. I would def like to hear your workout routine and I think that could help a lot of people who struggle, just like me, to push us through to our next step! Thanks for posting this video!
Big Boy, it’s amazing to see how much you’ve improved! Not only getting in shape but also learning to fly on your bike! I stopped eating dairy 3 weeks ago and noticed my skin clearing up. Hearing that it helped you is great motivation to keep up this new diet! I watch your new videos every day on the Scotty Cranmer UA-cam channel and have used them to help me learn bmx. That channel is also the reason I picked up my bmx bike in the first place. Inspired by the channel’s videos (including your learning to hang 5 video) I made a video on my channel learning bmx fundamentals Thanks for doing what you do!
Glad you got your own channel now keep up the videos, you got lots of fans , I hope you dont fall into the pits of just being another blogger doing stupid challenges or whatever , you are a super unique and positive guy , be your self and people will flock to the page
You and the boys are my biggest inspiration. Never been heavy but have taken it for granted. You’re doing amazing! I’m literally working out again after a months break, because of this video. Let’s get strong and kill the game yo
YOU ARE A LEGEND ! PLS KEEP UP YOUR VIDEOS! I jsut aksed myself why you never stareted your own chanel besides scottys since you are the born entertainer!!
Battling my own weight loss journey right now, and I totally agree with everything you said. Literally with the dairy and the acne and everything like pretty much the same minus the fact that I've just started lol. This was very informational and useful so thanks for sharing with us OBB
I just recently went back to the beginning of scottys channel. Now i know why they call you big boy. keep it up your doing great physically and mentally. Way to go guy. Also if you could choose one piece of exercises equipment for your house what would it be.
Excellent work big man, looking incredible these days! Lots of good advice too! You've grown in so many ways these last two years! Scotty is so lucky to have you around!
I'm so glad you have your own channel now! I really relate to you on so many levels. I also know what it's like being a tall guy with acne, weight problems and divorced parents. You were one of my inspirations to pick up BMX cause I saw you progressing so fast as a big guy and it just motivated me to push myself to get a little better everyday. I also lost 100 pounds in about a year before but I later gained it back while on house arrest for 8 months. I'm working on losing it again now. You're really a huge inspiration for me between the riding and the weight loss man. One thing though, you gotta come up with a new name for your channel. There's already a huge lifting channel called BIG BOY then there's BIGBOYtv too and between those two channels, your stuff is buried. The only reason I was able to find this video is because of Snapchat. Super stoked to see more content from you on here though!
Wow. This is really inspiring. I eat really bad and don’t exercise as much as I should. I am really going to make a change after watching this. This was amazing keep up the videos
Badass dude, i have followed scotty for a long time because even though i suck at it i love bmx and I have a skyline , i have watched your progress in both weight loss and riding skills, huge inspiration, thanks
BIG BOY I feel really bad I didn’t know you had you’re own channel would have been here a minute ago ,really impressed with you’re weight loss man,I just want to say you’re one of the biggest inspectors to my life man,you just get it done ,keep you’re life as fast paced as possible enjoy life in the moment dude,there’s not really much more I could say you’re awesome dude stay big homie
OBB your where i wanna be at,your mindset is killing it. My recovery’s taking its time (restricted to walking for 3 months) from bmx crash😂. But im ready to get in shape and kill the bmx game when im back. Much respect OBB
Hey Big Boy, first of all I love that you started your own channel! I've been watching Scotty's channel since he started it but a little more of Big Chaz is always great ;) Just wanted to say you were a huge inspiration to me when you lost all that weight. I am 6'6" and I used to weigh 350 lbs. I am at 240 now and I want to get below 220 lbs. Please keep uploading videos to this channel, because I think people struggling with their weight can learn a lot from you!
Yoooo, didn't even realize you had a channel! You are a huge inspiration to me! Being a bigger guy myself, I tipped the scales at 270 just 6 weeks ago. It wasn't just about wanting to look good, I wanted a better quality of life. Just like you I've cut sugary drinks out completely, which includes absolutely no carbonated drinks whatsoever, and have been eating much healthier. In 6 weeks I've already cut 20 pounds, and my energy levels are through the roof! Keep doing what you're doing Big Boy! I can't wait to see what you end up doing with this channel!
Great job Big Boy! I've been a fan of Scotty's channel since the beginning! You have progressed so much in the past few years and you're a true inspiration! Props to you bro!
You should do a video on some basic workouts to start with at the gym along with things people could also do at home to get started. Keep it up big boy!
Big boy I’m about to start training like you did. It will encourage me so much if you could do some videos of your training, some trips etc. Btw I love you chaz, you’r the men!💪
Not a question just you were a great inspiration to get me to where I am today. I leaned out and now I'm at the same stage as you, putting some muscle on. Thanks man
Explain everything in detail. Im 6ft and 300 pounds. I've been this big for a long time and it's time for a change. I've been watching you on scotty and crew and all of you are such an inspiration. I've been wanting to buy a bmx to learn how to tail whip. (I think it's the coolest trick) I have had a gym membership for a year and been 7 days in that year. So any advice on food and the routine is greatly appreciated. Best of luck on continuing your journey man. Oh one more thing GO CANADA EH.
OBB know your down on injury but thanks for inspiring people to get better. I'm personally down from 6'0 230lbs to 6'0 198lbs in about 6-7 months. No supplements just lots of gym time, stay strong out there buddy!
Man just found this video and I have so many similarities to your story. Stopped weighing myself at 300lbs and probably went to about 315lbs before I turned it around and now I go between 180 & 190. I’m 6 foot tall but I did put a good bit of muscle on. Next year I’m going to have an operation to have my stomach corrected as it never went back to ‘normal’ after the big weight loss. My advice to people on a similar path is sort out your diet first and by that I mean a complete food lifestyle change and then find an exercise you enjoy no matter what it is and do that with determination every time and the weight will drop off🤙🏻
Sooo much respect bro, the amount of people that set out on that journey hit that wall and stop for a few years and get stuck in a cycle of gaining and losing constantly, i know you had great friends to help you on your journey but for you to stick with it and grind through while dealing with the craziness of a big UA-cam channel, improving on bmx riding and traveling to different places with so many valid excuses not to go to the gym takes alot of strength not just physically but deep whithin your soul id imagine lol respect, now time to get big in a healthy way that involves muscle 😜😂
Stoked to see you put this video out BB!🤙🏽
Hey OBB, can you make a video showing exercises u can do in home/outside without any gym gear? but like a full workout for chest, biceps etc.
Chick1 Plays
buddy, I really recommend ThenX. There channel has alot of amazing tips for working out, they really got me into bodybuilding!
When I started I befriended a workout buddy and the rest was history. He motivated me most days and taught me a lot. I also used pre workout a lot and listened to ct Fletcher and Elliot hulse before workouts and Physique of Greatness or hodgetwins when I was looking for inspiration or information/sitting around on a rainy day. The wealth of information they all contain is enough to get you literally looking like Arnold in a year lol I am living proof man they teach you how to be self motivated and driven towards independent goals that benefit everybody around like mastering form and performing full sets or motivating yourself for early morning runs in the rain.
I won’t to see a day in the life of the big boy
@Charlie Guinn Exactly. A gym buddy is super helpful. Makes you push out that extra bit of effort, do that last set till failure, that extra 2 and a half reps on your last set when you would have stopped if you were by yourself. It doesn't even have to be someone you know. If your solo at the gym, ask the biggest guy near you for a spotter. BAMM there's your new gym buddy
Chick1 Plays yes i was gonna say that
Crazy transformation, Alex. What a huge inspiration you are!
It took me so long to find your channel
Getting Dicey me too

Dizzy Wrobel this gets me amped up. You can do anything that you put your mind ton
Thanks! When I watched the "TEACHING BIG BOY HOW TO HANG 5!" video, I needed to learn the trick myself.

True inspiration dude !!! Keep on killing it
I just found you recently after watching Scotty’s channel
Your amazing brother, and an inspiration!
Big boy you are such in inspiration to everyone whether it is weight loss or BMX riding. I love your positive attitude and silly personality. Your perseverance is incredible and keep doing what your doing!
Yo this was killer man, I’ve personal just hit a bit of a wall at the gym and watching this has really given me a boost to get back on it!
OBB....great video. over a year ago you did this. Remember now I'm 72, been working out since I'm 27. Working out/exercising is NOT a doing something for losing weight.....its a way of life. You must do this forever, and you'll feel great. My brother was benching pressing
400 lbs.when he was 70 ish. Keep this life style up and you'll do good. Aunt Chammy
Your a huge inspiration big boy! awesome seeing you and the crew grow throughout the years. Keep doing what your doing man!
I was at the find your fight jam and asked if you were going to more videos and you said maybe but I just want to inspire people and you did you inspired many people
OBB, I've been subscribed to Scotty's channel since 37k its amazing to see how far you've come physically and mentally. You should deffinatly be more than proud of yourself. 2 questions.

Has the flair challenge gotten any easier since you've lost so much weight? Also congrats dude.
Crouse_22 legit question. I'm wondering as well.
Crouse_22 he goes over coping on them now then before
You're truly a champ big dog I'm so happy you are uploaded I'm hoping there's more videos to come

I just randomly found this. WAIT WHAT, OBB HAS HIS OWN CHANNEL
A great, short, to the damn point, no bsing video. Good stuff sir. Been cool seeing your journey on the channel.
You have alot of options with this channel. You can do some gaming and do some riding and also workout stuff. Then you might start making some money off of this
Watching the channel for a while, you have done an amazing job with your health and skills on the bike. Showing everyone that with drive and commitment like yours they too can do it. Disiplin.
What exactly did you do at the gym to lose all the weight? Like what workouts

Once you get lean you're gonna want to really worry about what lifts and weights and reps and sets you're gonna need to do for muscle growth but if you're concerned with retaining as much muscle as possible while losing weight, you're gonna want to lift heavy sets on compound lifts with low reps to retain that strength and muscle mass.

Not trying to say lifting is stupid or pointless cause it's not at all and has tons of benefits but for people who really just want to lose weight and be healthier, all they need to worry about at first is the diet.
Izak Luna great comment
Chick1 Plays I agree

im sorry but i really disagree with your comment.. sure dieting is a huge major factor is weight loss but your acting like working out is something you shouldnt be doing at all... working out is a great tool for people to use when it comes to weight loss, as it not only burns calories (YES EVEN LIFTING BURNS CALORIES) as well as it increases your overall metabolic rate meaning that your body burns more calories over time.
The big boy! I'm an old man and you motivate me every day. Keep it up and get that flip whip!
Congrats big boy!
Good job OBB you are truly a genuine fella, stay humble.
When you said you started going to the gym once a week, what did the workout entail?
baseball _master08 I don’t think once a week for him lasted long...

you the fuggin man big boy! love you on scottys channel and youre definitely an inspiration. im 300 and only 5 10 been heavy all my life and trying to get my head right to start living healthy for me and my 11 year old son. thanks for being you. also calling out a flair challenge on you lol. rock on bro
Im skinny fat , I feel like its imposible to drop weight on specific parts of my body , any advice?
Pablo Vega feel ya bro. I'm like 180. And still hold fat in my lower back. I noticed a significant change when I adjusted my diet on top of my workout of course.
you cant target certain areas for fat loss, like you can target with muscle growth.
Pablo Vega do you lift? Or just diet and a little cardio?
Sketchy Offroading try lifting weights 4-5 times per week if u do that then just add in some cardio after weight lifting plus you can try intermittent fasting (look it up)
try intermittent fasting. look it up; ive done it for over a year and lost about 25 pounds along with most of the fat. im 5'11 and was weighing at 177 but now im hovering around 150.
You have become a great role model for kids and adults through riding and your weight loss keep up the great work Big Boy 👍
Makes me wanna do what you did, im 6'3 and 280, thats def not healthy
Definitely needed to show big sweaty from the 1st video at the slab.... the boob sweat in that was hilarious. Great job obb, and very cool of you to share your story to inspire others
We all his day ones
Thanks for sharing Bro! Been with you guys on the channel! Love the hard work and your persistence! I'm back into riding and working out consistently at 41 years old! Looking Great Brother!!!!👍🏻💪🏻🏁
Big boy my your the coolest
Subscribed with notifications! You're a big boy in a better way 💪🏻🤘🏻😎
Crazy man but big boy you should talk to josh perry and make this a fitness channel he is a nutritionist and a bmx rider his story is crazy instagram is joshperrybmx
Nicholas Holl yes!!
I'm gonna check that dude out! Literally the only channels I sub to are health and BMX channels so I'm stoked to see his stuff.
I kinda wanted vlogs but I guess whatever he wants to do
JavaMamaLama I'm honestly not a fan of vlogs. They're always just clickbait. I like when I click a title and then it immediately gets into why I clicked it. I don't want to watch 9 minutes of bs filler just so it fits the UA-cam algorithm. Big Boy could probably make some interesting vlogs that would be better than most but I hope he doesn't do straight vlogs like John Hill. Even Scotty's channel doesn't really consist of a vlog to me. He opens it and says what they're gonna do then they immediately do it and spend the whole video doing it. That's a format I really love.
OBB! not even subbed and the notification came to me.... UA-cam supporting some real people!👌
He sounds like faze banks
I just watched Moms Basement and i was like "wait what is there a banks video playing in a tab" xd
Such solid advice. Being a trainer, and have completed in bodybuilding previously this is spot on good to hear you using your outreach for good!
Is cardio the best way to lose weight
Death Squirrel it's the best type of excercise group to burn calories but if you're talking about best way flat out to lose weight, dieting is. Dieting is the only way to lose weight honestly. You can run for days but if your diet is all messed up you're not gonna see any results other than increased stamina. Research how hormones like insulin and cortisol effect weight loss and gain and you may be shocked that mainstream health has a lot completely misconstrued. Calories In vs Calories Out isn't the clear cut formula to weight loss like a lot of people preach. There's a guy who ate a whole pizza in an hour for a period of time and he lost weight but when he tried to eat the pizza throughout the day he gained weight because his insulin stayed high all day and his body couldn't access fat reserves.
Cardio is honestly over rated. Half the body builders, natural ones included don't even do cardio because their diet is so in check. Chris Jones is a great example and he's regarded as natural by others in the industry as well. He just has fantastic genetics so he can look a little roided out sometimes but his FFMI is only in the genetically gifted range when you put it all on paper.
I fucking hate cardio with a passion and if you do too, don't worry, you don't even need it to lose weight. If you actually enjoy it keep on though cause it will speed the process up a bit and I do miss the stamina I had when I used to practice running 5ks.
Abs are made in the kitchen.
Izak Luna Cardio is good for your heart though and will help a lot with general endurance.
will johnson the increased stamina was the only benefit I really liked. I think I get enough cardio riding my BMX and it's way more fun so I just stopped worrying about cardio. If I fuck my knees up, it's gonna be doing a gnarly ass trick, not running till I wore my cartlidge out lol. Not hating or dismissing the benefits, I just loathe running and the payout isn't worth the effort.
The comment was more directed to people feeling like they were never going to be able to lose weight because they hated cardio and could never push themselves to actually do it.
Izak Luna I feel you. I initially lost over 100 lbs from road cycling. I'd consider that cardio. Now I run and MTB.
OBB Glad you got your own channel brother! Seeing your weightloss journey has inspired me to create my own. Right around a year ago my health was in bad shape and I was pushing 400lbs. Then I watched as you steadily lost weight and got in better shape. I changed everything in my life, started riding BMX(which I'm not very good at but hey I give it my all), and going to the gym more and now I'm just under 300. My goal weight is 220lbs(what my Dr told me would be healthy for my bone structure) but I'm gonna try to get down to 200 and then bulk back up to around 220-230 in muscle. Thank you brother for the inspiration. When I first started working out I was around 385, now I'm down to 293 and dropping more and more every day.
what happened to all them parts you and Scotty were given
Bailey Westby all the Cobb ones?
probably returned or sold since they got rid of both cars shortly afterwards.
You are one of my inspirations for losing weight seeing your change makes me know I can do it! Your awesome!
Congratulations Big Boy! You should really be proud of yourself!
So happy for you bro. I love hearing other people's weight loss stories since I myself lost 170 lbs in a year (400 to 230 pounds). Just cool to hear from other people that have been through the same process.
I admire your journey, and struggle on my own weight loss journey also. I went through a very dark point in my life these last three year where I gained another 50lbs. I got divorced, started drinking and smoking again, and peaked at 285 at 6’1”. In the month I’ve been working out I’ve lost about 14lbs but I am having a hard time staying motivated to go to the gym. I still struggle with depression and other factors in my life that are keeping me from giving 110% at the gym and with my eating habits.
I would def like to hear your workout routine and I think that could help a lot of people who struggle, just like me, to push us through to our next step!
Thanks for posting this video!
Yes! Keep the videos coming Big Boy , I think you could have a very successful channel. Vlog / lifestyle / fitness / Bmx. FULL SEND MY FRIEND!!
Big Boy, it’s amazing to see how much you’ve improved! Not only getting in shape but also learning to fly on your bike! I stopped eating dairy 3 weeks ago and noticed my skin clearing up. Hearing that it helped you is great motivation to keep up this new diet! I watch your new videos every day on the Scotty Cranmer UA-cam channel and have used them to help me learn bmx. That channel is also the reason I picked up my bmx bike in the first place. Inspired by the channel’s videos (including your learning to hang 5 video) I made a video on my channel learning bmx fundamentals
Thanks for doing what you do!
Glad you got your own channel now keep up the videos, you got lots of fans , I hope you dont fall into the pits of just being another blogger doing stupid challenges or whatever , you are a super unique and positive guy , be your self and people will flock to the page
Happy you made your own channel man! You do a great job on Scotty's channel! You'll do great own your own aswell
You and the boys are my biggest inspiration. Never been heavy but have taken it for granted. You’re doing amazing! I’m literally working out again after a months break, because of this video. Let’s get strong and kill the game yo
Its amazing to see how much you've changed not only physically but as a person watching scottys channel over the past few years. Keep killin it bro.
Nick G thanks man
YOU ARE A LEGEND ! PLS KEEP UP YOUR VIDEOS! I jsut aksed myself why you never stareted your own chanel besides scottys since you are the born entertainer!!
Battling my own weight loss journey right now, and I totally agree with everything you said. Literally with the dairy and the acne and everything like pretty much the same minus the fact that I've just started lol. This was very informational and useful so thanks for sharing with us OBB
It's truly amazing to see your transformation as someone that watches the channel since the very beginning!
Amazing job big boy, definitely an inspirational video. I've gained almost 50lbs since I stopped going to the gym and need to get back
Good video, awesome information. Been following Scotty's channel since day 1. You got my subscription
Yeah big boy keep uploading man and love you and Scotty and the whole crew !!!!!
I just recently went back to the beginning of scottys channel. Now i know why they call you big boy. keep it up your doing great physically and mentally. Way to go guy.
Also if you could choose one piece of exercises equipment for your house what would it be.
Excellent work big man, looking incredible these days! Lots of good advice too! You've grown in so many ways these last two years! Scotty is so lucky to have you around!
This could actually help tonnes of kids stay healthy, keep at it man! 👊🏼
I'm so glad you have your own channel now! I really relate to you on so many levels. I also know what it's like being a tall guy with acne, weight problems and divorced parents. You were one of my inspirations to pick up BMX cause I saw you progressing so fast as a big guy and it just motivated me to push myself to get a little better everyday. I also lost 100 pounds in about a year before but I later gained it back while on house arrest for 8 months. I'm working on losing it again now. You're really a huge inspiration for me between the riding and the weight loss man.
One thing though, you gotta come up with a new name for your channel. There's already a huge lifting channel called BIG BOY then there's BIGBOYtv too and between those two channels, your stuff is buried. The only reason I was able to find this video is because of Snapchat.
Super stoked to see more content from you on here though!
Wow. This is really inspiring. I eat really bad and don’t exercise as much as I should. I am really going to make a change after watching this. This was amazing keep up the videos
Yesssssss. I have been waiting for this channel forever.
Crazy transformation brotha, losing 100 pounds isn't easy but totally worth it! Hope we can help other people do the same and change their lives!
Dude great advice. Definitely help me get back into the workout regiment. Thanks
Badass dude, i have followed scotty for a long time because even though i suck at it i love bmx and I have a skyline , i have watched your progress in both weight loss and riding skills, huge inspiration, thanks
BIG BOY I feel really bad I didn’t know you had you’re own channel would have been here a minute ago ,really impressed with you’re weight loss man,I just want to say you’re one of the biggest inspectors to my life man,you just get it done ,keep you’re life as fast paced as possible enjoy life in the moment dude,there’s not really much more I could say you’re awesome dude stay big homie
OBB your where i wanna be at,your mindset is killing it. My recovery’s taking its time (restricted to walking for 3 months) from bmx crash😂. But im ready to get in shape and kill the bmx game when im back. Much respect OBB
You making your own youtube channel is lit. Keep up the work
Hey Big Boy, first of all I love that you started your own channel! I've been watching Scotty's channel since he started it but a little more of Big Chaz is always great ;) Just wanted to say you were a huge inspiration to me when you lost all that weight. I am 6'6" and I used to weigh 350 lbs. I am at 240 now and I want to get below 220 lbs.
Please keep uploading videos to this channel, because I think people struggling with their weight can learn a lot from you!
Yoooo, didn't even realize you had a channel! You are a huge inspiration to me! Being a bigger guy myself, I tipped the scales at 270 just 6 weeks ago.
It wasn't just about wanting to look good, I wanted a better quality of life. Just like you I've cut sugary drinks out completely, which includes absolutely no carbonated drinks whatsoever, and have been eating much healthier. In 6 weeks I've already cut 20 pounds, and my energy levels are through the roof!
Keep doing what you're doing Big Boy! I can't wait to see what you end up doing with this channel!
OBB, you're my favorite rider on Scotty's channel. I started watching when you were big. Your transformation is super rad.
Great job Big Boy! I've been a fan of Scotty's channel since the beginning! You have progressed so much in the past few years and you're a true inspiration! Props to you bro!
I didn’t know you had a channel!!!! Subscribed!!!!
finally! I’ve always wanted to hear the journey of your weight loss 👍🏽👏🏽
Chaz, Big Boy, you're a fuckin good man ! This can help so much people ! You, Scotty and all the crew are true inspiration ! 🔥🔥🔥
You should do a video on some basic workouts to start with at the gym along with things people could also do at home to get started. Keep it up big boy!
Well done Big Boy, good on you for sharing your journey.
Big boy I’m about to start training like you did. It will encourage me so much if you could do some videos of your training, some trips etc. Btw I love you chaz, you’r the men!💪
Not a question just you were a great inspiration to get me to where I am today. I leaned out and now I'm at the same stage as you, putting some muscle on. Thanks man
Explain everything in detail. Im 6ft and 300 pounds. I've been this big for a long time and it's time for a change. I've been watching you on scotty and crew and all of you are such an inspiration. I've been wanting to buy a bmx to learn how to tail whip. (I think it's the coolest trick) I have had a gym membership for a year and been 7 days in that year. So any advice on food and the routine is greatly appreciated. Best of luck on continuing your journey man. Oh one more thing GO CANADA EH.
GREAT JOB BIG BOY YOU and the Scotty Cranmer Crew inspired me to bmx so thank you big boy You are THE UNDERDOG
inspiring bro. love watching you on scotty’s channel
You are truly inspiring, keep up the great work.
I’m proud of you OBB # OFFICIAL BIG BOY!!!!!!!! 🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲⚜️🥞🥞🌭🍔🌭🍔🌮🥙🍗🍗❌❌❌🍅🍅🍌🍏🍎🍉🍆🌽🥑🍍🥕🍇🍐🍊🍓🥥🥦🥒🥝🥝🍈🍋🍋✅
You’re so real and honest. Listen to big boy, the proof has been displayed
IVE WATCED THRU THE WHOLE PROCESS OF YOUR WEIGHT LOSS AND ALL US ARE SUPER PROUD OF YOU BRO KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK AND PLEASE NO MORE SPINALS!
I really learned alot from this video from dieting to how to prevent acne. Much respect and keep grinding
I’m proud of you OBB!! I’ve been watching u guys from the start and remember u being that big. Keep it up bro, your an inspiration to a lot of people
OBB know your down on injury but thanks for inspiring people to get better. I'm personally down from 6'0 230lbs to 6'0 198lbs in about 6-7 months. No supplements just lots of gym time, stay strong out there buddy!
im sure watching scotty climb back up the mountain motivated you as well im proud of the entire crew for the growth .
So proud of you big boy I remember those days and you’ve gotten much more muscular and a much better rider well done man💪🏽💪🏽
Man just found this video and I have so many similarities to your story. Stopped weighing myself at 300lbs and probably went to about 315lbs before I turned it around and now I go between 180 & 190. I’m 6 foot tall but I did put a good bit of muscle on.
Next year I’m going to have an operation to have my stomach corrected as it never went back to ‘normal’ after the big weight loss.
My advice to people on a similar path is sort out your diet first and by that I mean a complete food lifestyle change and then find an exercise you enjoy no matter what it is and do that with determination every time and the weight will drop off🤙🏻
Sooo much respect bro, the amount of people that set out on that journey hit that wall and stop for a few years and get stuck in a cycle of gaining and losing constantly, i know you had great friends to help you on your journey but for you to stick with it and grind through while dealing with the craziness of a big UA-cam channel, improving on bmx riding and traveling to different places with so many valid excuses not to go to the gym takes alot of strength not just physically but deep whithin your soul id imagine lol respect, now time to get big in a healthy way that involves muscle 😜😂
