girlfriend dumped me after I prepared her birthday like a tru loving man. came like outta nowhere. I was like - now the relationship is finally great. 2021 gonna be great with her. She also mentioned her plans just the days before. Then bam life hits me in the face. She's gone. Women man. probably a new guy. You know the story. Almost every man has this story or knows someone with the story. Thx makaveli - perfect timing! gonna get back to the grind.
Fiance of 3 years and had a 14 month old baby girl together that I love with all my heart. Started feeling her distancing herself and did everything I can to keep things fresh while still working every day to make us successful. Both of us are supposed to do the same show in may, started fighting constantly as I'd get agitated about how I wasn't feeling the same effort I was putting in and she would yell at me when I didn't let her do whatever the hell she wanted and not just say yes baby to everything. Things just came to a head after working 72 hours last week on top of training and I just wanted to spend some time with her but she'd rather go out with her friends and have me stay home with our daughter, I come home from work and my child and fiance are gone. Saying she's going for full custody. This life, training is all I have left. I don't have the genetics. Got my hand amputated 2 years ago and it doesn't work that great, but I'm still doing this show with or without her. I have to win. Telling myself as much as you guys. It's all I have left.
Same. Gone through life that it seems nobody likes me. So damm hard - after a while it gets to you. But then you realize the people around you that you know like you, they’re the ones you need to surround yourself with more. Fuck people - do you and own the world.
Girlfriend left me for the guy I disliked most. I knew what he was trying to do. I told her to stop talking to him but she didn’t listen. She broke up w me and went straight to him. I was devastated bc I love very hard, so I was shocked. A year of depression passed and a buddy basically helped me from the ground by showing me the gym. Btw I was a young buck. It’s been 4-5 years, I will never forget the look she had when she saw my physique. I seen that guy recently, twig(I don’t wanna be rude but it’s true) I started working on my fitness, finances and fashion. I will never let her come back into my life, but I’m so grateful that she did that. Legit character development to the max. So grateful for God, and all my blessings🙏🏼
Damn when he said his girl left him for his TRAINING PARTNER that shit even hurt me. It’s the break ups like that, that turn you in to a beast and he sure was a beast.
When my ex wife left me, I went into depression, I couldn't eat and I didn't have the strength to even stand up. but I made a monumental effort to continue training and eating even though I couldn't sleep at night... one day it all passed and before I knew it, I had reached the best physique of my life. the gym saved my life
I'm there now it's been a week. Gf after 3 years. I get 2 hours of rough sleep. I hit the gym everyday since. Force milk and chicken down my throat since it's easy. I gotta keep going. Maybe I'll sleep soon boys
This is the best comment section I’ve ever read! So many guys supporting each other about their break-ups and heartaches with women without any of the egos and putting each other down. That’s true brotherhood right there
1 Timothy 4:8 For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
Was in a relationship for quite a while. Got too comfortable that I lost focus on myself. Was loving the wrong person, I realized I had to love myself more and walk away. Before all the lovey dovey stuff. I had tunnel vision with my gym ethic. She recently left me for someone else. Moral of my story. Focus on yourself. If it’s meant to be she would have never left, no matter the situation. The gym will build character. Stay quiet. Stay Focussed. And grind for whom the bell tolls. Much blessings for anyone going through a hard time dealing with a breakup. Get these gains and don’t ever look back!!
Absolutely phenomenal. Gf broke up with me about 4 months, at first you might think your life will end, but TRUST me, it’s just BEGINNING! The amount of pure FUEL and DRIVE I have gained is absolutely insane, I am hungrier than ever to conquer my goals. Trust me guys it will be OKAY, use that energy to make yourself a better person!! ✌🏼🤍
My fiance left me mid november. I accepted that it was over and have focused on myself but now she still contacts me saying she still cares and its made it harder to look forward while always looking back. I have accepted though that no one is going to save me and that I have to get out of bed every day and better myself for me.
I attest to all of this. Happened for me in May of 2020. Just 2 weeks shy of being together for 5 years. I have completely turned my life around and my drive to improve myself has reached a level I've never experienced before. It was truly a blessing in disguise, even after going through those first few months of absolute depression.
@@justinmaironis7940 So every athlete should do PEDs to "push trough the body's natural limits"? Try saying that to WADA. There's a reason bodybuilding isn't accepted by IOC or any international sports federation, cause it's not considered a sport. It's chemical warfare.
@@Underhills Jeah it's sad, but it's just part of human nature. Some people are incredibly fueled once they know they can reach for the top. Then, they'll do anything. You don't need to support it, but you can definitely respect the people who do it. I mean, it isn't just working out. Your body needs to be taken care of in many ways. Bringing up the determination to acquire the knowledge about all of that and then executing it takes a lot, knowing you could fail at any time because one of your muscles might tear and then it's all over...
Me and the gf of 6 years broke up in january... this has been the toughest time of my life. Especially because of lockdown and not being able to see my family. This is exactly what i needed
Similar situation happened to me last July. Was devastated. Just have to keep busy, surround yourself with people you can lean on and trust , listen to some Jocko and pray. Now here I am almost a year later, faster, stronger and smarter then ever and looking ahead. If I can do it, you can too! Keep push and I’ll be praying for you!
@@MHH288-q8m bad news never has good timing. Get on with your life because you're the only one who can help yourself right now. Use the experience as fuel to fire the drive you need to have right now.
I've learned to make the gym my true love. Always there when you need it, gives back exactly what you give it, never lets you down, and always makes you feel good about yourself, if that's not true love, then I don't want it.
I was dumped for no reason without being able to even say goodbye after 4 years. Broke up with me on the phone after 4 years can you believe it. Regardless of what was the reason, I expected the worst, though she never told me or I never found out and didn't want to find out, I assume she obviously found someone else but didn't tell me to spare me the pain. But when I hear the story of Tom Platz. It motivates me. Because he had much worse, and look what he became. It is sad to say but it helps a lot to see these champions having experienced the pain. It motivates us. Respect to Tom Platz for being so open about it.
Same happens to me after 10 years and 3 kids. Called her at work to talk about having dinner together and she says in reply. It's over between us. That crushed me so now I crush the iron.
Be thankful brother. It's a blessing that she left....you could have been stuck with a horrible person. Now it's the other guys responsibility, and she will leave him too.
You’re definitely going to look back at it and see the person she truly was and who you’ve become . Feels like a L at the time but really it’s a W in disguise
When you have the attitude of this man, you don't fight your demons, you fking laugh at them. They don't even matter as you are so focused on your goals. What a legend!
My ex left me 3 days before my birthday. Then went and got in a throuple with two people I thought were my best friends. I was down for months. I'm still not okay, but Ima make my body into something amazing! Make everyone who ever hurt, betrayed, or doubted you wish they hadn't!
I did chest day and leg day when I was first starting off weight lifting and it was the biggest mistake I made as a newby. I was sore for the entire week lol.
“You wanna be strong, learn how to be alone” I listen to this video damn near everyday I’ve been through heartbreak , been doubted and this has helped me a lot! Thanks a lot for the content!
The family court screwed me in back in 2006...I walked away from the Matrix and went all in in the gym...Today the ex is riddled with health problems. My health is intact...Iron Clinic...
That's a fact he was really into the dog crap theory where you totally work till you can barely move the muscle it works but can't be overused but his enthusiasm is contagious
he trained like a maniac but he knew what he was doing. To an average person of course, it looks like he's breaking his own body, but if you look at him now, his legs are in fantastic shape.
4:10 This segment right here hit me so hard. Throughout all of 2020 I was down in the dumps. Never got out of shape but, I lost my passion for training. It translated to outside of the gym as well. I’ve lost friendships among other things. I woke up and gave this a listen and man, Makaveli, you have done it again. I needed this brother. Thank you.
Same, gyms are all closed, once i even got send away from bars in park by police, i was alone and just wanted to train outside of my 4 walls.I am still in shape but it is no longer fun, i need the sorounding and the distance to the rest of the world that you have in the gym.
I never knew Tom Platz got screwed like that. I can't imagine his pain even after my recent break up. I thought I was hurting bad... now I see why he reached such a high level of greatness. Much respect and peace to all the brothers of iron that have suffered from heartbreaks. Thank you for making this Makaveli💪
Tom Platz is more than just a great bodybuilder. Met him in 1984 at the gym I trained at. He signed my belt. 39 years later I am still training. Just got back from the gym. Hearing and seeing these old clips and commentary from Tom Platz is extremely inspiring. Thank you Tom Platz wherever you are.
After my divorce(I was 26 at that time) I weighed only 63 kilos. Hardcore depression etc. I still remember the day when I first lifted dumbells. I had to move back to my mothers for a while. Its been 6 years now after my very first training session. Today I weigh 85.- kilos. Physically and mentally Im stronger than ever. Consistensy is the key. You dont get results in one day, one week nor one month. Whatever life throws at you, keep on getting up! Its hard sometimes but I know that you can do it! If I could, you can! Bodybuilding saved my life.
When i was dating my ex girlfriend, i had an offer to do the college in Italy (I'm Brazillian) and it was a huge oportunitty to me. I decide to stay in Brazil, didn't want to leave her cause i was truly in love. 1 month after the decision of staying she breaks up with me, blocked me on every social media and now a friend of mine that follows her told me she dating another guy. Never felt that bad in my entire existence. I lost 11kg of lean mass after the break up and now i'm starting to gain some weight again. Don't know if i'll ever be able to trust a woman again. Thanks Makaveli for showing me that pain is what make bodybuilders, the real champions had to suffer to make their place on the top. Right now i'm transformating all the sadness into motivation and rage to lift iron and get big.
@@JoseAlves-yv9iq Dito e feito irmãozin, coloquei tanto empenho nos treinos que agora penso em competir na Classic Junior ano que vem. Obrigado pelas palavras de apoio, abraços!!
My girlfriend of 4 years cheated on me with two other guys while I was home watching our infant child. She kicked me out of the apartment we worked 6 grueling months for and is isolating me from my kid. I’m at the beginning of my journey as hard as that is to say but when I come out the end no one will recognize me. To anyone who hasn’t ended their story yet, you will get through this. I know it’s hard but please don’t give up. There is a light at the end of this tunnel and if you stay patient you will see it. Chin up kings. They aren’t worth your time 👑
My dear brother, I thank you for your words since I am going right through something very similar. I hope you are already a bit better today. And that we can overcome those things. I know how it is. It broke me to the core 6 months ago. And it still pains me everyday.
I could listen to Platz all day. His life/gym philosophies have helped me so much with my mental health over the last couple of years. Great inspiration/motivation.
They don’t make guys like this anymore. This is raw power and sheer will. This gives me so much more motivation in my training. Since listening to Tom and other old school body builders my training and strength has exploded
This video helped bring me out of the hardest most darkest time of my life.. I cannot express how much your channel has saved me and I’m sure a lot of you out there can relate. Thank you - thank you .
You know you’re insane and have gone through some shit when you go through leg workouts enjoying the pain🤧. Anyone and everyone who’s worked legs with me passes out.
this made me tear up, thinking about all the pain and hurt i’ve felt in my heart i wanna transform this energy and put the work in, see the bright side, we’ve all been there brothers, we can do this
Bodybuilding fan or not, Tom has an extraordinary outlook on life that is not seen or heard today. Instead of murder, death, kill reports on the nightly news, reaffirming and positive outlooks, like this incredible man's should be on the news every night! What kind of society would we have then?
There is so much more into bodybuilding than just building muscle: character building, how to win, how to loose! Tom platz, a geniously artist, in body and mind
Tom Platz really is my hero. Ol girl thought there was greener pastures. I started hittin the gym and focusing that energy to somthing else. Drop 65 pounds within 8 months packed on a ton of muscle and still gettin it. #dontbeafuckingloser
Absolutely love this video. Tom Platz is one of the bodybuilding gods. "You have to put your mind in the muscle!" Platz put the mind into bodybuilding. Met him a few times in the UK. Total gentleman, great mind and incredible bodybuilder. Cheers Tom.
True that, breakups make the builder. Works both ways, I started as a obese teen as an escape from a violent shitty home and the boys in the gym sniggered and laughed at me often those first few months. I felt small and embarrassed and even threw up down myself once I was so unfit. Many sessions in those early days I cried in the locker room and wanted to give up but my belief was stronger that the hurt. In one year I was a fitness instructor and in two competing. I've been competing ever since and this year it'll be 20 years and those same *boys (now men) still try and hit me up, follow me thirsty and didn't accomplish shit. Losers.
I don't know what I would have done if I wouldn't have found Tom Platz, his mindset and his student in spirit, Dorian Yates. They both are so damn right
Great motivation it never gets old! Tom Platz has come to my mind every time I’ve gotten my shoulders under the bar for the last 35 years. The gym and bodybuilding lifestyle has been my salvation.. It’s an ongoing battle between you and you!
I agree. When someone you dated for a long time and all of the sudden they break up with you can be extremely heartbreaking. Working out always makes a person feel better about themselves. It always makes me feel better.
Tom is a Bigger man than i thought. He is speaking the Truth. He understands the true pain in life and how to use it for yourself. "You wanna be strong, learn to be alone" Can only relate.
This guy had the fire of the gods in him.. I fucking love it. He along with Jordan Peterson, David Goggins, and Joe Dispenza have been my greatest teachers in 2020/2021!! :) lets be the best we can BE GUYS!!
Lol those names are the God's lol telling us they believe in us same thing love it nice to know im not the only one in the boat whos gonna carry the boats us my friend us 😅
Tom Platz is in my top 5 of all time...not beacuse of trophies or achievements, its because of his dedication and love to bodybuilding and motivation that hes giving to others GOAT
Platz may be THE most inspirational oldschool bbuilder left on earth! Tells it as it is! No BS just DO IT & have a dream & train ur azz off, period! Enough said!
So uplifting to know I’m not the only one dealing with a break up. It’s tough but the gym is literally the medicine to get you through the darkest hours. God bless everyone much love iron brothers and sisters ❤️🙌🏽
the whole video is totally true, I'm passing though a break up and bodybuilding is transforming me something else, something better and bigger, I have never felt so good as I am now.
Honestly how I started bodybuilding... first girlfriend broke up with me and all I wanted to do was hit the gym. Became aesthetic and 10 years later she’s still trying to hit me up hahaha
Just wanted to say.. in April my girlfriend had left me and I was deeply an alcoholic and gotten over 300 pounds. Quit drinking and started eating healthy and lifting.. I'm down to 194 today. Listened to this every day for months. This video motivated me in ways I'll never be able to describe. Thanks for the upload.
girlfriend dumped me after I prepared her birthday like a tru loving man. came like outta nowhere. I was like - now the relationship is finally great. 2021 gonna be great with her. She also mentioned her plans just the days before.

I feel you bro. Women, you can't trust them. Like Tom Platz said if "you want to be strong, learn how to be alone".
So crazy how breakups always hit you out of nowhere! I’m sorry man. You’ll find someone better
Yo, she lost a good one brotha

I did the same thing here, went the gym to help with anxiety. Now the gym is my home and working out has become a staple for me
“You wanna be strong, learn how to be alone” I listen to this video damn near everyday I’ve been through heartbreak , been doubted and this has helped me a lot! Thanks a lot for the content!
The family court screwed me in back in 2006...I walked away from the Matrix and went all in in the gym...Today the ex is riddled with health problems. My health is intact...Iron Clinic...
How you remove yourself but yet can support yourself financially enough to eat properly?
Respect
Good job
Bang !
Are you Paul Dillett ?
Some of his workouts were out of my understanding but he still inspires and motivates.
That's a fact he was really into the dog crap theory where you totally work till you can barely move the muscle it works but can't be overused but his enthusiasm is contagious
Tom platz is on another level very few will ever go there to that extreme.
Exactly
he trained like a maniac but he knew what he was doing. To an average person of course, it looks like he's breaking his own body, but if you look at him now, his legs are in fantastic shape.
@Aa 69 people like you🤦🏻♂️
He's a doctor, professor, trainer and Father figure. He's humbly grateful for his work and supportive to so many.
Tom Platz won in the end. They’re just names, he’s the Golden Eagle 🦅
4:10 This segment right here hit me so hard. Throughout all of 2020 I was down in the dumps. Never got out of shape but, I lost my passion for training. It translated to outside of the gym as well. I’ve lost friendships among other things. I woke up and gave this a listen and man, Makaveli, you have done it again. I needed this brother. Thank you.
Makaveli always gets to us, welcome to the club!
Same, gyms are all closed, once i even got send away from bars in park by police, i was alone and just wanted to train outside of my 4 walls.I am still in shape but it is no longer fun, i need the sorounding and the distance to the rest of the world that you have in the gym.

Bodybuilding has become my beautiful obsession my me time without me time you'll never know and be who you are...
Keep pushing man, I've been there, I know that feeling, but this will make you better
I never knew Tom Platz got screwed like that. I can't imagine his pain even after my recent break up. I thought I was hurting bad... now I see why he reached such a high level of greatness. Much respect and peace to all the brothers of iron that have suffered from heartbreaks.
Thank you for making this Makaveli💪
She's not yours, it's just your turn. At least the gym is always there, the weights never lie and you'll always know what you're going to get.
Underrated comment but She picked you, but we as men open the door. As men we must reclaim our power👌🏼
💯💯
Biggest facts I've heard in my entire life. This comment needs to be FRAMED! 💯💯💯💯
@@jmtexx thanks for that, I’m all for this toxicity to be removed

Tom Platz is more than just a great bodybuilder. Met him in 1984 at the gym I trained at. He signed my belt. 39 years later I am still training. Just got back from the gym. Hearing and seeing these old clips and commentary from Tom Platz is extremely inspiring. Thank you Tom Platz wherever you are.
After my divorce(I was 26 at that time) I weighed only 63 kilos. Hardcore depression etc. I still remember the day when I first lifted dumbells. I had to move back to my mothers for a while.
Its been 6 years now after my very first training session. Today I weigh 85.- kilos. Physically and mentally Im stronger than ever. Consistensy is the key. You dont get results in one day, one week nor one month. Whatever life throws at you, keep on getting up! Its hard sometimes but I know that you can do it! If I could, you can!
Bodybuilding saved my life.
Goddamnit I love Tom Platz. This man could make me run through a wall
Tom is no joke- he has the mindset & heart of a Champion.
This is not only gym motivation,it is life motivation ,thanks Tom
Hearing Tom Platz gives me goosebumps every single time.
What a legend. History will remember him.
His universe left him, and he became Mr. Universe. Strength from within. Mad respectz to this man.
GYM IS MY GIRLFRIEND SHE NEVER DISAPPOINTS ME 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Hey that's my girlfriend wtf!
@@rayaneali7239 😂😂😂 Haha good bro
@@christianalmishev5077 😂😂
I MAKE SWEET LUV 2 HER
Bro don't be jizzin in the gym
When i was dating my ex girlfriend, i had an offer to do the college in Italy (I'm Brazillian) and it was a huge oportunitty to me. I decide to stay in Brazil, didn't want to leave her cause i was truly in love. 1 month after the decision of staying she breaks up with me, blocked me on every social media and now a friend of mine that follows her told me she dating another guy. Never felt that bad in my entire existence. I lost 11kg of lean mass after the break up and now i'm starting to gain some weight again. Don't know if i'll ever be able to trust a woman again. Thanks Makaveli for showing me that pain is what make bodybuilders, the real champions had to suffer to make their place on the top. Right now i'm transformating all the sadness into motivation and rage to lift iron and get big.
Keep your head up king. Never again turn down another oportunity like that, always think whats best for yourself first, then family and then friends.
Força irmão, canaliza essa dor no treino que é sucesso
@@starth9415 Thank you my brother, i learned my lesson.
@@JoseAlves-yv9iq Dito e feito irmãozin, coloquei tanto empenho nos treinos que agora penso em competir na Classic Junior ano que vem. Obrigado pelas palavras de apoio, abraços!!
You are a genuine person and sometimes we think the people close to us are as true as we are. Stay strong brother!
15 weeks have passed since the break up. Been training for 10 weeks 6 times a week. My body changed in ways I never thought possible.
How are things today ?
Hey bro God loves you. Go to Jesus and also it's amazing that you're getting in shape keep it up man
@@patricksmith9717 heck yeah Jesus is everything !
My girlfriend of 4 years cheated on me with two other guys while I was home watching our infant child. She kicked me out of the apartment we worked 6 grueling months for and is isolating me from my kid. I’m at the beginning of my journey as hard as that is to say but when I come out the end no one will recognize me. To anyone who hasn’t ended their story yet, you will get through this. I know it’s hard but please don’t give up. There is a light at the end of this tunnel and if you stay patient you will see it. Chin up kings. They aren’t worth your time 👑
My dear brother, I thank you for your words since I am going right through something very similar. I hope you are already a bit better today. And that we can overcome those things. I know how it is. It broke me to the core 6 months ago. And it still pains me everyday.
Look up Strong Successful Male. Great channel
God bless you king. I know what this is like and it’s true, we must NEVER give up.
Being molded in a diamond
You got this shit man!
Imagine the pain he was in, sometimes being in that dark is actually the best thing that will happen to u
Always saw him in magazines, this is the first time I’ve heard him speak. Very wise and eloquent. Amazing mindset
I could listen to Platz all day. His life/gym philosophies have helped me so much with my mental health over the last couple of years. Great inspiration/motivation.
He has givin me a mindset that know no one will outwork me
I can outwork you but I feel you
@@WilliamsWrestlin thats funny claude i needed the laughs
Tom Platz is charisma personified, a proper salute to this legend.
They don’t make guys like this anymore. This is raw power and sheer will. This gives me so much more motivation in my training. Since listening to Tom and other old school body builders my training and strength has exploded
In the U.K. I ain't letting lockdown stop me
Can we take a moment and appreciate the man holding him doing pull ups 🙏🏽👀
“On shoulder day, I warm up with squats.”
Did he really said that?
@@donataspuidokas2601 No! Lol
This video helped bring me out of the hardest most darkest time of my life.. I cannot express how much your channel has saved me and I’m sure a lot of you out there can relate. Thank you - thank you .
This is the one. Out of all the videos, this is the ONE that I can always rely on. Turns me into a fucking beast every single time.
May god heal everyone in the world and give them d best health and the physique they desire 😎👍🙏🔥
You know you’re insane and have gone through some shit when you go through leg workouts enjoying the pain🤧. Anyone and everyone who’s worked legs with me passes out.
Try me.
this made me tear up, thinking about all the pain and hurt i’ve felt in my heart i wanna transform this energy and put the work in, see the bright side, we’ve all been there brothers, we can do this
Every man needs to hear this
The main message is stay in the fight and turn pain into hardness
But above all have faith in yourself
Amen
5:44 -7:12 is the best speech you will ever hear on lifting, and life in general..
💯💯💯💯
Bodybuilding fan or not, Tom has an extraordinary outlook on life that is not seen or heard today. Instead of murder, death, kill reports on the nightly news, reaffirming and positive outlooks, like this incredible man's should be on the news every night! What kind of society would we have then?
There is so much more into bodybuilding than just building muscle: character building, how to win, how to loose! Tom platz, a geniously artist, in body and mind
Tom Platz really is my hero. Ol girl thought there was greener pastures. I started hittin the gym and focusing that energy to somthing else. Drop 65 pounds within 8 months packed on a ton of muscle and still gettin it. #dontbeafuckingloser
Matthew Swoleman
I needed to see this.
Platz is still an inspiration for me and I’m 50 now.
Absolutely love this video. Tom Platz is one of the bodybuilding gods. "You have to put your mind in the muscle!" Platz put the mind into bodybuilding. Met him a few times in the UK. Total gentleman, great mind and incredible bodybuilder. Cheers Tom.
DO WHAT YOU LOVE, LOVE WHAT YOU DO. Strong words!
Perfect timing. Just got my heart broken 💔. Nothing left to do but pick up the pieces and bare it.
Seeing toms legs make sweatpants look like yoga pants has always motivated tf out of me
I getting motivated just by reading the histories of people from the comments, keep pushing bby!!! 💪
True that, breakups make the builder. Works both ways, I started as a obese teen as an escape from a violent shitty home and the boys in the gym sniggered and laughed at me often those first few months. I felt small and embarrassed and even threw up down myself once I was so unfit. Many sessions in those early days I cried in the locker room and wanted to give up but my belief was stronger that the hurt. In one year I was a fitness instructor and in two competing. I've been competing ever since and this year it'll be 20 years and those same *boys (now men) still try and hit me up, follow me thirsty and didn't accomplish shit. Losers.
Respect 💪
@@NoName-ww1lr cheers !
DONT KILL THEM WITH KINDESS
TOTURE THEM WITH YOUR SUCCESS!!
That’s what you did! #boss
You took their souls
Nothing has gotten me more fired up than these first 5min. Self care for men.👊🏻💪🏽💔🏋🏋🏽
I don't know what I would have done if I wouldn't have found Tom Platz, his mindset and his student in spirit, Dorian Yates. They both are so damn right
Great motivation it never gets old! Tom Platz has come to my mind every time I’ve gotten my shoulders under the bar for the last 35 years. The gym and bodybuilding lifestyle has been my salvation.. It’s an ongoing battle between you and you!
me too, when im squatting I imagine tom saying to mee "5 more!! 5 more!!!"
I agree. When someone you dated for a long time and all of the sudden they break up with you can be extremely heartbreaking. Working out always makes a person feel better about themselves. It always makes me feel better.
Tom is a Bigger man than i thought.
He is speaking the Truth.
He understands the true pain in life and how to use it for yourself.
"You wanna be strong, learn to be alone"
Can only relate.
This guy had the fire of the gods in him.. I fucking love it. He along with Jordan Peterson, David Goggins, and Joe Dispenza have been my greatest teachers in 2020/2021!! :) lets be the best we can BE GUYS!!
Gotta get me some PEDs!
Lol those names are the God's lol telling us they believe in us same thing love it nice to know im not the only one in the boat whos gonna carry the boats us my friend us 😅
@@Underhills Chicken breasts!!!!
LFG brother Im with you 💪🏼
Tom Platz is in my top 5 of all time...not beacuse of trophies or achievements, its because of his dedication and love to bodybuilding and motivation that hes giving to others
GOAT
Cried listening to this yesterday before my workout. Love this man’s intensity
Platz may be THE most inspirational oldschool bbuilder left on earth! Tells it as it is! No BS just DO IT & have a dream & train ur azz off, period! Enough said!
2023 mindset right here. Let's get after it!
May 2021 bless the brothers in iron with gains. Amen.
Holy shit your spirit irritates their demons......that made my day.....good shit I need the black hoodie with gold makavei motivation.. ......
This voice is enough for motivation
Tom Plazt Girlfriend " Honey it's Valentine's day today !!! "
Tom Platz " No it's Not it's definitely LEG DAY babe "
And THAT’S why she left him.

Haha funny as but probably true
@@rickbrenner6079 🤣🤣🤣
So uplifting to know I’m not the only one dealing with a break up. It’s tough but the gym is literally the medicine to get you through the darkest hours. God bless everyone much love iron brothers and sisters ❤️🙌🏽
Blessed to have this man on this planet!!
Tom Platz is one of the wisest and seems to be a great man all around including having those wheels 🦵 💪🏻 👏🏻
I think almost every man does this expierience, its part of beeing a man.
Learn from it and move forward and keep pushing.
Much love.
Nowadays I dont listen to music during my workouts. I just listen to these Tom Platz clips. So motivating
the whole video is totally true, I'm passing though a break up and bodybuilding is transforming me something else, something better and bigger, I have never felt so good as I am now.
Honestly how I started bodybuilding... first girlfriend broke up with me and all I wanted to do was hit the gym. Became aesthetic and 10 years later she’s still trying to hit me up hahaha
Nice
ua-cam.com/video/TBa8MMishbA/v-deo.html
That’s fucking right 🤝🔥
Man fuck that bitch stay strong, keep your head up, and never give up under any circumstance
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 bitch caught them vapors....KEEP LYFTIN !!!
6:55 You know you are squatting on a new level when you turn purple.
Just wanted to say.. in April my girlfriend had left me and I was deeply an alcoholic and gotten over 300 pounds. Quit drinking and started eating healthy and lifting.. I'm down to 194 today. Listened to this every day for months. This video motivated me in ways I'll never be able to describe. Thanks for the upload.
Keep going king Never surrender
Training and being strong is being a man at it's fullest 💪
I don't watch a ton of bodybuilding videos but from what I've seen Tom Platz always has a great attitude and strong will.
