As a black man myself, I like how this guy is just himself, and not trying to act cool, and hard! Hes just goofy, fun, and open!
Black guys arent themselves? What do you mean?
@@Nate-gj7pb Bruh!! Don't act like there is no black stereotype!! If you don't act or speak cool, hard, somewhat ghetto, and use a certain vernacular when you speak, then people say you aren't acting like your race! Your trying to be something else! I'm glad this guy is not concerned with acting stereotypically "black", but acts the way he wants to! If you don't get what I'm saying, I understand!
@@43one I'm not black brother, I was asking a genuine question.. Is that what people say? You've actually had multiple people tell you that you're not acting your race?
Obi- you posses a level of authenticity that one does not often encounter in the world of social media. Keep doing you!
Thank you 😊
Is he authentic about his Natty status?
I love people like you ! , so free, honest and smart which is rare in this world! . Love you and keep being who you’re .
@@ObiVincent Road biking... Its my new love, grabbed a Trek SLR and did my first 100KM last week, 4.5 hours. It worked my mind and body in ways I never thought possible.
@@MrRam1993 jealous much....
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!! Your videos give me a sense of peace. I admire you and your lifestyle. THANK YOU!!
this video really meant a lot to me, I'm pretty new to your channel but performance & fitness (and climbing!) are my biggest passions. I'm a college student and have really struggled with social anxiety and the pressure to constantly be surrounded by people. When I really feel much better spending time alone, i have often felt really selfish for it but watching this helped a lot. thank you for sharing
I am just like you brother, i have been following you since you have started and i always learn from you, being an introvert is a bliss itself, we are sociable but picky, a lot of love from Algeria
do not stop vlogging plus where is this playlist. Your selection is addictive
I need to train like you!! That body is goals .. I know I’m a female but the female version of your conditioning will be goals 🤗
People are going talk shit regardless. Whether you speak on being an introvert or not so I am glad you did this anyway it means a lot to your people. Me included
Always been so genuine man it’s great hearing you be honest about what’s going through your head! Big fan for a while now keep killing
It dude
There is nothing wrong with being an introvert. I commend you for realizing that you are best alone. I honestly think society tries to force everyone into these boxes of extrovert, social, married, kids, etc when this just causes men and women to force themselves into situations that make them extremely unhappy.
Please continue making videos showcasing how happy and complete you are by yourself. People need to respect and honor your life and choice. As a happily married woman with children, I enjoy watching your videos even if it is not exactly what I would want for my life, I can relate to some of it, as I do enjoy my quiet time.
When I was in the dating world many years ago, I met a young man that was an introvert and I was trying to convince him to open up and enjoy life with me, have a family, etc. It was through deep conversations and introspection that I realized he was enjoying life, he just wanted to do so alone and to himself. We partied as friends and I wish him well, as I do you.
My only advice is to walk your path on your own terms and please don’t let society or family pressure you to bring anyone into your peaceful existence. Enjoy your solitude and live a quiet introverted life. I wish you well.
obi - you and your content are amazing keep up the awesome work, its cool to see you climbing you don't often see big guys climbing, I bet the forearm pump sucks lol.
you and you videos are helping me on my fitness journey so i just want to thank you.
You are you and that is grand! Thanks.
There is no English word to describe those that disliked this wonderful video. More success bro.
I had a feeling you were gonna shed more light on this ...I just had that feeling 🥤🥤
Inspiring! Peaceful!
one of your best video
Keep it real man. As an introvert also, do not project your fears publicly. You do not need to explain all the things you see wrong, or areas you can be better. That is your choice if you chose to do so, but it is never required. You only give those fears/limitations strength by doing so. Sure the thoughts might cross your mind, but do not let them manifest into reality, but let them stay there and fade over time.
Second introvert & extrovert are skills that everyone possesses, yet most tend to favor one over the other so they never really develop both skill sets. One will work the majority of the time, but not always, so keep growing and like you say "break the mold" do and try different things and push the comfort level regularly.
Third, there are many idiots out there making content that have large followings. Who cares!? Quality over quantity will always be better in the long run. Would you really desire those kind of followers anyways? Be thankful you do not have to deal with that kind of crowd. Your growth might come slower, but it will last and attract the right kind of people.
* Failure can only happen when we refuse to learn anytime we fall. As long as you learn, you continue to grow and become stronger.
introvert gang keep it up Obi
"The Guy With The Muscles" would be a good name for your personal book if you choose to write one someday. You have a dope personality, and a positive outlook on life!

"Being alone for a while is dangerous. It's addicting. Once you see how peaceful it is, you don't want to deal with people anymore."
-Tom Hardy
So true
Facts my guy🙌🏾
Yep
Amen!!!!!!!
Preach!👏👏👏
We need people to normalize and explain how introverts live. Alone does not always equal lonely. Thank you for sharing
That’s pretty much been done. If you think people don’t understand introverts nowadays, go back to the 80s and 90s. Trust me, people are MUCH MORE AWARE.
When people use the word "normalize" it makes me cringe
Please stop with the normalize shit. Just do you and stop caring about being perceived as normal. Who wants to be normal anyway?
Exactly ☝🏾 I’m an introvert and I can entertain myself for hours…….and yes, full transparency….I even talk to myself (It helps me gather my thoughts and cope in today’s world.) I appreciate the content, Obi ✊🏾
@@Iamhimbutyouarenot exactly. Couldn't have said it better myself
Don't let the anxiety get to you. You're right where you're supposed to be and doing a damn good job at it. Keep it up!
Being anxious is fine too i am an introvert and from time to time i get anxious but i embrace it for thats who i am i am not perfect and i am proud of it
People often mistake the term 'introvert' with someone who is socially incapable of communicating with others and doesn't do anything productive.
That's false. Introvert means basically this video. Obi enjoys spending time with HIMSELF... alone, no distraction from others, yet still be productive in the main aspects of life.
I said it before and I will say it again, these types of videos are a breath of fresh air to watch, loving the content Obi!

FACT...from one introvert to another.
Absolutely spot on with the explanation. People mistake introverts as being antisocial. The truth of the matter is, we just enjoy our own company, but value the company of those we truly vibe with. Because majority of people are extroverts by nature, they find it odd that there are people who actually get sapped energy wise when in the company of others for too long.
Couldnt agree more, i myself, am a cut of the same cloth ✊🏾. To all of us, out there in the world, stay strong ,stay vigilant.
@@19-1-91 I'm introverted as well I can relate to this so much
Being alone gives you time to work on yourself 💪🏿
I am an introvert. Never lonely. Almost always alone. It doesn’t mean I’m a sad pathetic fool. I am a well rounded individual. I am a people person, that said, I need my space because I give all of me. I have lots of good healthy character traits being an introvert is just one of them.
Music, books, running, strength training and body conditioning help me to manage my well-being emotional, mental and physical. I laugh every single day. Introversion is one of the best things about me. It gives me the strength I need to be me and, to love the people in my life they way the should and deserved to be loved.
Yes !!!!! It’s a wonderful life !
Perfectly said
My dad's the same way he likes being on his own,me I'm ok being on my own but people person more.
This is so interesting and informative. I have a very outgoing personality and people say I am funny and I like to laugh etc. But I do I find myself to be alone most of the time to the point where I have gotten used to it and enjoy doing things how I want. This week I had a good friend tell me that I push people away. I understood where she was coming from but I can't say I agree completely.
Same same ;)
I new there was a reason I liked this guy…………no toxic drama….being a introvert is a great life!
Yes I live a very private life path now because I don’t like drama and people who play silly games and who gangstalk.. that’s why I quit my job at military few years back too .. they always spying and pissing me off
As an introverted young black guy that has also had to deal with my fair share of anxiety I've found that your channel has inspired me to take my fitness journey seriously and so far I'm really enjoying it. Keep putting out the excellent content Obi!
I’m an, INFJ, I never knew why I liked being alone until I was older. I learned more about personalities and their connection to us. I love being an introvert.
INFJ here also✊🏾✊🏾
I am an introvert and a neat freak! Nothing frustrates me more than having people in my space; they move stuff around, mess up the place and make it seem like my clean habits is me fussing over nothing.
It’s not nothing but it’s not something major.
If you’re anything like me, your frustration with people doing that will decrease over time. It makes life a lot less annoying.
yup, you need help mate! you must be single
hmmmm control
My life summed up thought it was just me.
Sounds like bad OCD I would go seek assistance if you get upset people move objects around
I did find it interesting especially coming from a fellow introvert. As an introvert, I know it takes a lot to open your world. Thanks for sharing it with us.
As an introvert, I love this video. Maybe you don't want to talk about this but I find interesting what other introverts think about "love" and relationships.. how do you feel when you are in your 30's and all your friends start to get married and start creating families and you are just by yourself most of the time.I would love to hear your opinion and words..
Also I've never commented in any of your videos or IG post but you really are such a nice guy, I met you once at Bodypower and you were such a humble and polite person, I saw you another day around Clapham, didn't say nothing because I didn't want to bother, knowing how introvert you are. Thanks for all your content!
I think as someone who epitomizes masculinity in your physical presentation, it is so important that you are opening up in such an authentic, relatable way. You're setting a beautiful example for both men and women that masculinity can also mean embracing vulnerability.
Obi, you're such a positive and calm person. I love watching your videos, your physique and how you've maintained it through the years is truly commendable. I have just started working with weights and you motivate me to carve my dream body. I was wondering how did you learn body building and how to sculpt your body with the correct exercises?. Much love to you Obi, I wish you all the success and happiness. I want your channel and brand to grow further and reach more heights, I will share your videos with all my friends as well. You are truly amazing and I love how confident you are and how much you push yourself in workouts and try new things. Much love :)
Love Obi vibe. No toxicity, no negativity, just him being him. Keep the videos coming man!
Obi, the nicest and calmest guy in fitness! And a fellow introvert. Love it
Wow
Someone relates…. I’m also introverted, I prefer to be alone…. I’ve always been a loner🤷🏿♀️🙌🏿
As an introvert myself I enjoy the day in the life vlogs and I can relate to loving to spend time alone and not feel lonely.
Big inspiration Obi, would be proud to say I see a lot of myself in you; regardless of the personal growth required to ascertain the route and discipline you maintain. Big respect ✊
I’m an introvert and I can never comprehend when people say they’re board. I love being alone. I get claustrophobic when they are (2) or more in a group around me. I always try to find a way out.
I CANNOT tell you how much I enjoy your vlogs ! So down to earth and real and relatable ! thank you for all the hard work you are putting into your vlogs ! We appreciate you
Back in the early 2000's I had a phonebook full of 'friends'; something like 200 people. Then one day, during a period when I was really busy and not really hearing from anybody, I asked myself, " how many of these people would I feel comfortable calling in the middle of the night if I had some serious issue and needed help, even just needed someone to talk to?"
Turns out, it was only a handful, 4 or 5 people maybe. The people in my phonebook were largely casual acquaintances, rather than 'friends' I felt a deep connection with. It wasn't their fault really; I had deluded myself into thinking I was popular and had lots of friends. I do really enjoy my alone time since I've come to terms with my actually situation.
When I was younger I realized I was an introvert, but when I reached my teens I realized I didn't want to be egotistical, so I never talked about myself or was motivated by people's reactions. In this way you seem mysterious to people, but it's just humility, it doesn't have anything to do with with holding information about myself. If people take the time to look, they'll gather all the intel they need to know, I'm that simple and transparent of a person. People like me aren't meant to be observed by people who don't have long attention spans. Most people want all the answers immediately and when they don't get them, cognitive dissonance takes over.
Introvert gang checking in
Here too sir😃
I’m here
This was very relatable man. As a fellow introvert it's nice to see another that is killing it in a field that's not associated with the personality type. Good content man. I think your vulnerability will set you apart from other fitness vloggers.
Obi - I don't know you personally, but what I will say is that it takes a lot of courage to do what you do. More importantly, it takes even more courage to face your fears head on and share them with the world. Many can only be able to dream of what you've been able to achieve. I found this to be very inspirational as well. I strongly encourage you to continue to live in the present moment and enjoy this journey we call "life", because every day you are given is a gift from the creator.
My 1st name is Vincent living in NEW York City and I’m an introvert as well so I totally understand you.
Your an amazing man Obi!! I love you and the content you create. This channel deserves much more attention than it gets. You’ve created so much more than a channel it’s a family and that’s an amazing thing for the fitness industry. I’ll be watching your channel till I kick the can!! Much love bro 🤟🏽
Introvert is a strenght. Be happy with yourself, love yourself, no acceptance from others. I am more extravert then introvert, but damn… I love the moments alone.
This video totally resonated with me as a fellow introvert for most of my life. Keep it up, Obi.
Did you ever have a girlfriend or wife.
It is actually really interesting to watch you grow as a person. Hope you are doing well Obi!
I truly love your content. As a fellow introvert, it’s so nice to see someone I can relate so much to. Your cleanliness, and daily routine is incredibly similar to mine. You truly inspire me, and make me want to be better. Keep up the incredible work. The blogs are amazing. You DO belong on this platform. Break the Mould.
Thanks for letting us in Obi,,,To see how you’re working through anxiety and also putting yourself out here, mad respect brother🙏🏾
This video was rly beautiful. It’s rly nice to see your perspective on things. I also have that passion for training, it’s like an escape from reality for me🤩🙏🏼.
Such a good, pure guy. You have an amazing outlook on life, so encouraging. Lots of love Obs
i appreciate how authentic you are, its really refreshing. Im an introvert myself and seeing how at peace you are with being yourself, acknowledging your anxiety is super reassuring for me, its really easy to doubt yourself for no actual reason. Been following on insta for ages but i have a new found appreciation for you after hearing you speak! Subbed 👍 much love from Australia
We listen and watch without saying much. Introverts are cool. What type of knee wrap do you use?
Its a strength shop knee sleeve
@@ObiVincent who sells it?
@@ObiVincent 😂😂😂😂^
Listen man. I'm 37 years old, overweight and watch your videos for inspiration to keep going with exercise and good diet.
Found you a month ago with a barbell cardio workout. I'm gonna break my mould.
Dude we are the same!!! I’m finally going to get to live on my own in 2 weeks and my introverted self is SCREAMING with joy. Please do more day and the life vlogs. It’s really dope to know I can relate to someone like you not just on a fitness level but on another level as well. I consider myself a renaissance bodybuilder as I am one of many talents and love to express that. Keep doing your thing boss. We love to see it! - Mike
Another great job Obi! Now I want you to consider ACTING-we need to see a Super Hero who is actually BELIEVABLE, and I think that is YOU....Oh yeah, and I too enjoy being alone and living in my own personal space. I have a FEW true friends as well, but I'm not necessarily an Introvert. I get out and enjoy myself with others who are also confident in themselves, both single and married. I believe it's just a personal choice that those who are co-dependant on others cannot relate to.
Obi I don’t know if you are able to notice my comment. But I just wanted to say THANK YOU for contents like this. Inspiring and entertaining! Keep doing what you’re doing 🙏🏻
Thank you for this video! It's inspiring and courageous! Keep showing the real you!💪🏻
Probably not the right wording for a grown, big man like you but you're just so CUTE. As an extrovert (and gemini too, which is the best (and also the worst) combo ever😂), I love yall introverts. Especially here on YT, it feels good sometimes when the host doesnt start the video with a loud ass "HELLO EVERYBODY WELCOME BACK TO MY CHANNEL PLEASE LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE!!!!!!🤪🗣🤸🏽♀️🎊🎉" type of intro(🙄)😂
Watching this has made me very emotional. Firstly, I’m 99% alike your personality except being active on social media. Enjoying my own time, not too many real closed friends and love to close it to myself etc. Secondly, currently trying my best to apply visa and move to the U.K. from Hong Kong which is absolutely tough as you said in this video. Anyways, please keep making such as this vlogging style and it is incredible for introvert haha. Keep it up Obi👍🏻
And maybe you can talk more about your past experiences, studying , how you overcome things, what is your favourite moment in life and what you most grateful blah blah blah.
I live alone too, i had friends in the past but then I traveled to Germany and for the last 6 years I have made no new friends.. Even though i study at the uni, but i think I don't have any lust more to talk to someone new
That sounds depressing man
GREAT CONTENT!
You'll get everything you set your mind to
Keep doing you bro 💪 I love watching your content. Inspiring me to try different ways of training. Can't wait to see the travelling videos 👍
Really enjoyed the topic of this video. Being introverted is awesome. Love the content your put out. Don't doubt you're putting out good content. Comparison is the thief of joy
Obi please come to Vietnam I have been here since Jan 2020 and it is absolutely gorgeous. Love your content grew up mostly in North London and south near Clapham Junction etc. great to see you do what you do.
Definitely one of the most impressive, balanced and functional physiques I've see on UA-cam....very blessed genetically and clearly works hard
I love to see black men doing their self care routines, maintaining house, working out, eating food and minding their business. It’s a good look! Yasssss Obi!
I’m glad you opened up. You remind me of my son. I’m sending him this video. Keep doing you, it encourages others to be themselves 👍🏾✊🏾✌🏾
I appreciate you sharing this content with us my guy! We need more of it across UA-cam, keep up the good work!
Being an introvert, you inspire me bro! Glad to find someone in the fitness industry that i can relate to on many different levels. Keep up the awesome work Obi!!!
"Introverts" on UA-cam. Millions of subscribers, surrounded by people in every video.
Love your content Obi! Helping me transition from body building to cross-lifting. Don’t ever doubt what you stand for, keep up the great work!!
As a fellow Igbo and Nigerian who suffers introverted and from social anxiety this video was very helpful and calming
Much respect for making this video! I’m also introvert and a lot of people are doubting it. I really feel the things that you are saying. I’m a big fan💪🏼🙌🏼
Obi has such an insane physique and clearly works hard. Being able to spend a lot of time alone I think shows a deep level of maturity and independence. Hit me up if you come to Japan!
I’m so glad I stumbled upon this channel, new favourite
10:35 Was listening with a my notes on top. Just had to click back to ensure there was a pushbike in the video...
You remind me a whole lot of myself. Introvert, who also loves the gym, alone time and biking. And you would absolutely love Bali. Make that happen.
Love the vlogs. Keep em coming
Never be afraid to fly it's so beautiful the next best thing from swimming. Eating food on a plane, never better.✌🙏💙And didnt you go to Dubai? You know its great..🙏
Just came across your channel. Just wanted to say thank you for the inspiration. I'm just getting started on this journey, and content like this is what I need to keep it going. Thank you Obi!
Seems a lot of introverts suffer with anxiety. I feel like the world is just a loud place for us.
You're a huge inspiration Obi. Everything will align for you.
Watching u from Viet Nam💪💪💪🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳
You not introvert since you talking to UA-cam audience.
Anxiety is a bitch, but it's good to be at peace with being alone/introverted sometimes. Cheers, brotha.
Obi, you are insanely inspiring. People who have a similar personality to you need these videos because there aren't many. It allows me to feel that im not alone. I've started bodybuilding as as an introvert a year ago and your words always hit me hard. Thank you.
Love the anime and plants . You’re a black Bruce lee type brother . It pays to be different . Keep blessing others with you’re freedoms and thoughts .
Such a genuine, good, interesting, focussed and friendly guy. In great shape of course. Looks like being introvert is the secret of his success.
There’s something very authentic about Obi that you don’t get from other fitness channels. His videos are easy to follow as well. Sending you love brother all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦.
This video is so chill your routines are amazing
Sounds like heaven to me ! 😍
I need another humidifier too !
Don’t doubt yourself Obi! You are a breath of fresh air by prioritizing yourself without hurting other people. I appreciate you using your platform to teach people to be comfortable in their own skin and to strive to be financially stable as soon as possible. And also to strive to be healthy and active til your 80’s👍🏼
i love your content , this video inspired me so much
12:48 lovely to see my countries flag flying there on the corner 🇦🇴🇦🇴!!
Love the content💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
You are amazing! There aren’t many people I would be itching to meet and hang out with, but you would one of them!!! Keep having fun 🤩
