Tomn8er literally the only person capable of articulating how bodybuilding shows are judged. If any of these promoters had any sense they’d reach out to you and try to formalise an agreement to utilise your skills. Best of luck to you.
*"It's almost criminal that a physique like Flex is here had to be relegated to runner up, but that's just how transcendent the prime Ronnie Coleman was!"* - Tomn8er I will never forget your voice brother, thank you for everything, and I wish you best of luck! ❤️
You will be missed by thousands and thousands of people. Thank you for all the fantastic videos over the years. By far the most detailed, entertaining, honest/transparent and best bodybuilding channel ever. Thank you for all!
This is a devastating blow for the industry. Until a couple years ago I had zero interest in bodybuilding. It was finding analytical channels like this and then learning about the history of bodybuilding I became interested in the sport… years later this interest has grown to me spending money on PPV’s, just like the Arnold Classic; again something I’d have never done without channels like this. Moreover, as these shows do such a terrible job at promoting themselves and the athletes that compete in them, your channels post show analysis is one of the highlights, and most enjoyable wrinkles that comes with watching them. The industry loses in your absence but I’d just like to thank you for the time you’ve put into your channel and for the hours of enjoyment you’ve given to fans like me. All the best 👊🏽
these bodybuilding media guys are clowns, youtube as well. your gonna be sorely missed brother, your the best bodybuilding channel by far. you taught me a lot over the years and i had a lot of fun with your videos as well. Thanks Tom. 💪💪
We are gonna miss you man. You furthered my own understanding for bodybuilding as well as keeping us bodybuilding fans posted. We appreciate you man. Hopefully to hear your iconic commentary one day again. 👍
Sad to see that one of the best BB youtuber on youtube was pushed into the ground and got no respest for what he has done to the sport of bodybuilding. Tom, channels like your have brought so many people to the sport more than any of the lame promotions the organizers of the shows could ever dream of. I hope that some day you and many other bb youtbers finaly get the respect and recogniton they deserve! Thanks for entertaining us for all of these long years, and good luck to you Tom in your future journey!!!❤
No shame brother! Your old videos are still out there for all to see just like a series of published books. I love going back from time to time to rewatch them even though I’ve seen most of them already. Thank you for your excellent content… I’LL BE BACK as a fan! ❤
This one hits deep, literally my fav bodybuilding channel for years… Completely understand the decision though, and wishing you all the best with your future endeavors my man
This was genuinely quite emotional. I remember getting into bodybuilding back in 2019 and binge watching all your videos. You’ll be a huge miss brother.
I dont think i ever commented on any youtube video whatsoever, just not that type of guy. Just letting you know that i had your videos many many evenings on autoplay while falling asleep. Not because they put me asleep, but they rather calmed me down. I must have watched each individual video atleast 10 times. I loved your approach of analysing and am greatful for all the work and effort you put in your videos man. Im definetly going to miss you bro and wish you all but the best for your future. Thank you for endless hours of free entertainment.
Man, everytime there’s been a bodybuilding show I always and I mean ALWAYS wait for your uploads because your content is the only content I look forward to for anything bodybuilding. Hate to see you go, truly the end of an era. Hope all goes well for you and wish you the best!
The shock I had when Tom mentioned how everything has grown since when is was just him, Nick, Lui, and Rx. I remember them days like it was yesterday when its really been the better part of a decade ago. Crazy how much growth there was in the past few years without me realizing it.
It’s a real shame we won’t get any new videos from you on bodybuilding but it’s awesome you’ve decided to go after the things that will make you happy. I remember you saying a good while ago that the drive or passion for it was starting to go a bit and if now is the time then now is the time. The best bodybuilding channel on UA-cam will be sorely missed. I wish you all the very best man ✌🏻
Hey Tom, Thanks so much for your content over the years. I can’t tell you how much you taught all of us about the sport. Your vids have had a huge impact on me and I’m sad to see you go. Best wishes!
Anybody else come back hoping for a some form Olympia review? Was quite an interesting and controversial year, what with so many pulling out, Ryan Terry FINALLY winning mp and the whole Hadi & Derek drama. Would’ve loved to hear Tomn8er’s opinion on it!
I’m a little late to the party but hey might as well share what I have. It’s a shame to see you go, but I completely understand your reasoning. Your coverage of bodybuilding shows is by far and without a doubt the best, your articulate commentary pointed out things nobody else did, or even still does, and I often found myself watching your videos when I got frustrated with other channels for seemingly ignoring or brushing over things I noticed with shows. I wish you the best Tomin8r, will miss the awesome breakdowns.
A true OG in the game. You will be missed, but it sounds like you have a great career ahead of you! Good luck with everything man. Thanks for all the content over the years
Thank you for all these Years Tom. ❤️I watched you when I was a 3rd year in high school, and now I'm almost out of university. You will not be forgotten brother.
I respect you a lot as a creator and consider you one of the best bodybuilding analysts on UA-cam, even among the IFBB pros with channels. You’re not entirely correct in your statement on how UA-cam handles this kind of copyright dispute, but you are correct in assuming this would end with Brian taking you to court (uphill battle for him) Good luck with everything, and I speak for everyone here when I say I’ll miss your content.
I would often find myself rewatching your old videos, just beacuse they're so damn good. Now I will have another reason to go back and rewatch your catalogue over and over again. First of all MPMD, and after that you and NSP introduced me to bbing 6-7 years ago and it's been a pleasure to follow you through the years. I'm staying subscribed, loyal as I started, for as long as this channel is up. Thank you man!
Damn this stings :( You are without a doubt my favourite bodybuilding channel so it's sad to see you leave. Wish you nothing but the best of luck! I'll always continue to support your work ♥
You are the man Tom. It's really sad to see you go. When I started following bodybuilding, I found you channel. It was fun watching all those breakdowns. Honestly, I recently lost all my interest in bodybuilding mainly because I have become a die hard fan of MMA but I still enjoyed your content from time to time. I wish you nothing but success moving forward...
The bodybuilding industry/IFBB/Arnold classic etc. need a better understanding of what UA-camrs like yourself do to grow their sport. It’s seems so petty that they copy right strike videos that promote their events/their athletes. UA-camrs covering bodybuilding bring more eyes to the sport of bodybuilding then any of those organizations. This a big loss to the entire sport of bodybuilding. Thank you for very extremely researched videos, they provided details seldom seen. Also, thank you for leaving this channel for your viewers to enjoy! Unfortunately the writing was on the wall. Much love
This man introduced me into the history of bodybuilding and the golden era. The best comentador of UA-cam for sure. Thank you and good luck with your new projects.
brother i listen to your videos every night before sleep for ASMR, i mean literally every night. Been following your channel for years, quit my UA-cam gaming channel, quit my second bodybuilding channel, got engaged with a girl, canceled the wedding, builded my career, now I'm making good money, but all those time before bed I would open your channel and listen to your voice😄 hope you will doing good in life, your supporter from CN.
Hey brother. First of all, glad all is ok with you and your career, if you do decide to go for another channel and/or other content, you got my subscription! Second, I concur with all the comments below, you really caused (and still cause) a really large impact in terms of bodybuilding community and its media, and also have become a staple for (especially hardcore) fans who enjoy the breakdowns and analyses of competitions and physiques. Your commentary and uploads will be missed here! I'm not going to attack the Arnold or its organiser(s), but that was a really low blow, f them. Your legacy will still remain though, so doesn't matter. Thanks for everything Tom! May God bless you.
YT is so afraid of getting sued they’ve degraded the quality of the site into a very unwelcoming place for content creators. I’m sorry this happened I’ll miss ur voice and now u as I get to see what u look like and of course your analysis on pro bodybuilding 🙏
We're gonna miss you man. I just re-watched your top 10 shoulders list today. Always loved your commentary, the quality of it. You're easily one of the best. All the best for your future endeavours. ❤️
You will be missed! Thank you for the amazing content you created over the years. I have watched many of your videos multiple times and will continue to do so. Again, thank you!
Hands down the best youtube channel for bodybuilding analysis. Every time you post a video, I watched it immediately. Very entertaining, and always appreciated your choice of words in your commentary. Looking forward to your future ventures, so please let us know when you start a new channel so we can follow it! Thank you for all the videos you made!
Hi Tom, I've following you channel for years. I think you're one of the best channels about bodybuilding and i'd even say the way I see bodybuilding is how I learnt from you. Videos of Phil vs Kai, 2013 Prague Pro, 2009 Olympia, Pittsburgh Pro or Master of mandatories are my favorite ever about bodybuilding. Dont forget to mention the best poses. If it really is the last video it's been great time all this years. If it's not, we will welcome you back. Until next time.
Tom, I literally came down to your channel when you released your first video and have been watching you since then. There were parts where I didn't agree with you, but much less than when I did. You helped me to improve my English skills greatly. I really enjoyed how far you've come and loved the journey along with you. You'll be missed brother. Thankyou very much!
Totally understand your decision, and I'm glad you've got some other hobbies that you're clearly passionate about. If those hobbies manifest as videos on a new channel, that would be great, but that's up to you. I haven't been a fan of bodybuilding for the last year or so, but stayed subbed to your channel (just yours). Your insight was top class and the reviews were always an entertaining watch, despite my overall lack of interest in the 'sport'. Well, it's been a blast, all the best with the future endeavors.
As I have fed back to you before, and coming from someone who has followed BB closely since the late 1970's, I have always found your channel's critiques the most eloquently articulated, analytically credible and confidently concise of any UA-cam BB coverage. I want to thank you for the countless hours you must have spent over the last few years. Your discernment and frankness will be missed.
i guess we never know how important someone is till he leave and then we can sens what we was blessed with, I'm not someone that watched all your videos but that have few i remember that change my view on bodybuilding and the way to judge a physique and be critical thanks for your service and your hard work. good luck
I was into bodybuilding long before I met you but you are the one from whom I learnt how to judge a physique. And it is a shame for bodybuilding community that you leave, it is hard to understand why they would turn down such a free publicity. I love bodybuilding and I see its potential but with these administrators, this sport does not live up to our expectations. Your commentary was quite unique and I know it sounds little bit silly but I will miss you. Take care
I think you are one of the best when it comes to coverage of BB.Thank you for all your hard work .I will look forward to what you have installed for us next
Noooooooooooo 😩😩😩😩 I have just started a year ago with watching bodybuilding and I fell in love with ur channel and the high quality of your analysis. My girlfriend already knew when I was watching ur videos just because of ur voice 😅 and because I was watching them nearly every free time I got in the last year. I really really appreciate what u did. All the videos of the different body parts or the coverage of the old olympia shows.... U provided so much information and background knowledge... Nobody else does that. But I understand u completely mate. I wish u just the best for u and ur whole family and everything you got in front of u. I hope ur taking the right way and I would really like to read into ur fantasy novel stuff since I am a big Warhammer fan and fan of everything monster like or fantasy like..... I am soooo FREAKN sad right now 😩😔😔 but I'm happy for u that u chose to do something more for filling... A GIANT thanks for all the hard work u put into this videos and again I wish u just the best in ur future. I'm sure u will get everything u have ever wished for. Thanks and kind regards from Austria Tom 💪💪💪🤜🤛
Your a legend man. I haven't been following bodybuilding much the past 2 years but your stuff seriously got me through the pandemic lockdowns. The whole bodybuilding community is gonna miss you, wish you the best.
FYI UA-cam is a absolute joke, there is a channel that plagiarized one of your most view vid. I believed it’s called, “Most Incredible Physiques in Bodybuilding History. The clown literally uses chat bot to narrate most of your dialogues in your vids, same bodybuilders in chronicle order, and images. UA-cam won’t do anything about tht but helps the elite to strike quality content like ours. It angers and frustrates me nothing could be done to help.
Damn man I beeeeen loving your videos. Always so detailed and well made. Your tier lists of best bodybuilders and best bodyparts will forever be "cannon" to me of what is and was the best out there! Thank you for all these years of bodybuilding content no bs. Truly sad and one of a kind. Wish you the best!
Such a shame... I've always enjoyed your content, and to have this Brian Whatshisface just be a professional jobsworth to you is a slap in the face for anyone that's enjoyed opinions of knowledgeable bodybuilding enthusiasts. I know Nick had an issue like this about a year ago... not sure if it was the Olympia or an Arnold, but he eventually got a pardon and his videos came back up. But if your heart's not in it, then this is possibly a blessing in disguise... good luck Tomn8er !!! hope you'll be back !!
Fr tho above all I just hope you live a long, mentally healthy, happy, fulfilled life. Creaters are people and their wellbeing should always be valued over their content. Tomn8er seems like a great person and this channel is clearly only negatively affecting him. He deserves better. Onward and upward Tommy boy! Thanks for all you've done for the community over the years. We appreciate it a lot more than you probably think 💪
No one is able to do the same-in-depth view of BB competitions like U. At the same time, I respect your chooses moving forward and wish U a happy journey along the way 😢
Thanks for the years of great content! The progression of the quality of commentary and the depth of your judging understanding growing was a joy to follow.
Thanks for being here for so long and making this amazing content. The number one bodybuilding youtuber and my personal favourite. Youve helped me understand physiques when I was still a newbie and furthered my knowledge and drive to train. Again thank you for everything and I wish you great success in your next goals in life :)
My favorite bodybuilding channel, always a must watch during a post workout meal . You'll be missed. Best of luck in whatever you decide to do next man
Wow what a great move from the Arnolds PR team. Terminating the LAST couple of channels that still actively keep the sport going. Great job. Just the right thing to make bodybuilding even less popular and followed. Very very sad. They give us some shitty livestreams for high prices and even afterwards dont want any free exposure to the public as promotion.
Thanks for all the content you’ve made man. You’ve easily been the most consistent and rational bodybuilding commentator in this space for several years. I’m a huge fan of bodybuilding. But I also would be okay with it fading away because the promoters, celebrities, and basically everyone else involved with the exception of a few people have ZERO interest in growing the sport. These people would rather be the kings of a very unpolished and unprofessional competition than grow it into something respectable and risk their positions. It’s selfishness of the highest degree. There is not a single event worth paying for. They’ll all in dogshit quality and they’re generally really boring. Nothing is done to improve lighting, overall entertainment factor and utilization of big figures in the sport like Cbum. I’ve wanted to make a commentary channel for sometime but I’m afraid I’d get attacked for talking about people like Steven Weinberger and the Manion brothers for holding back the sport. It just doesn’t seem worth it. The deep rooted issues in the sport will never be addressed. It’s a shame
Dear Pretentious man, There is no reason for your multiple paragraphs. They're all the same topic.😆 almost as cringe as " in this space". I'd stop saying that if I were you. Not what you think. Stupid people love to sat that cause they heard it somewhere and ran with it. We dont use that in college or in medical school. Or in law school. I promise you. Just on youtube. Lol is there anyone who ISNT on Adderall? This is crazy.
@@ingaleerus4577 I'm not a native english speaker, so you may be right. Nevertheless, it seems to me quite pretentious to lecture someone on how to divide his text in paragraph in a YT comment. Again, I do agree on the paragraph tip, but reading a wall of text on the phone is harder than read one period at a time.
One of the main reasons sports like bodybuilding and strongman never grow to mainstream is that the promoters don't understand decentralized promotion and are holding on to their little ppv money for dear life.
I feel like everything I want to say has been addressed by the comments... but you brought me to bodybuilding. From being part of the public who thought of it as this weird niche of "sports" , I began to love bodybuilding through stumbling upon your content. Your videos are the most bingeable and rewatchable bodybuilding content on youtube. Thank you for everything you have contributed, and enjoy your personal life to the fullest. ✌🏼
youtube is really horrible with all the copyright issues, sad to see that people are forced to leave because of it. definitely the greatest bodybuilding channel, and your content was what got me into bodybuilding, thanks your amazing content
I haven't been a fan of bodybuilding or your channel for the longest but your analysis videos on the 90s bodybuilding scene and ur annual takes on the mr olympia have been one of the only videos I can count on to really keep me entertained. Thanks for your great content and I would also love to watch some videos of philosophy with you narrating it.
Ride off into the sunset without regret. You’ve done more for bodybuilding on UA-cam than anyone else. You introduced me to bodybuilding. You’ll be fondly missed, and I wish you nothing but the best.
I really like your contents Tom. You were always the best analyst of BB shows. People like you should’ve hit the 1M subscribers since a long time. Very unfortunate 😫
Sucks to hear you been going through this. I really enjoy your vids giving your take on the physiques and the placings. Good luck on the spiritual journey and the book writing. Lately, I’ve been more into enlightenment and other things outside of bodybuilding as well💯🤝
Thank you for great enjoyable commentary. I could feel that you are an honest person and a good human being. I will miss your work and I sent you best wishes.
One of the best online physique critique on youtube You really helped me understand bodybuilding the way it is supposed to After luimarco i consider you to be the goat of youtube bodybuilding Please be back😭
Best bodybuilding analysis by some way and I’ve seen a lot over the years. Interesting how you don’t have to be an ex pro to give effective critique and observation but you do need an eye for detail and a way of explaining things eruditely and concisely as demonstrated by your excellent best body parts series. All the best and thank you for all the great content over the years.
oh man it is so sad. as many others said, your analysis and style was top notch, nobody comes close even to this day. even just making a few videos of major events per year was good enough, was a real treat seeing a new video popping up in feed from you. all the best to you
Your channel helped me rediscover and care about bodybuilding. Thank you! Sucks that they’re not trying to leverage your channel and help you help them out.
Your analyses on bodybuilding were extremely insightful. It’s clear that you have excellent critical thinking skills. You’re precise and concise with how you explain things, and you’re nearly always accurate to the truth, in my opinion. It’s funny, I was a philosophy major. I don’t recall exactly when, but I know it’s happened on at least one occasion, where I was watching your videos and thought to myself “This guy would do well in a philosophy class.” 😂 It makes sense now. In my philosophical studies I focused on ethics, and through that, I ascertained the most impactful information on how I have decided to live. Though I am long removed from academic philosophy, the core moral principles I developed are the most important thing in my life, and likely always will be until I die. Create a philosophy channel and I’m there!
Thanks that's an interesting compliment. As it happens I did take a bunch of philosophy courses back in university - could've minored in it. But not really a fan of the academic side of that anymore.
you'll be missed bro. i always love your content and how casual your commentary are, the fact that your revisited videos also dont have any background music, just you casually reviewing, yet so professional analysis and comprehensible on each bodybuilder is just enjoyable. love your content man!
Thanks for all of your amazing commentary over the years. Your writing was unrivaled and your non-contest judging videos were always very well organized. I’m sure that your fantasy novels will interesting reads and that your community will follow you wherever you decide to go next. Good luck in your next venture, Tom, and thanks again for all of the great content over the years.
Thanks man for the past couple of years! For the other avenue you may try to look for (spirit stuff), I'm personally looking forward to it. Myself is also an avid listener on that topic too. So, I'll surely follow you there :D Thanks again and have a prosperous life!
Your analysis and contest coverage are my absolute favorite in bodybuilding. Cheers Tom and thanks for all these years. (look forward to checking those fantasy novels out one day)
Years flew by. I found your channel in late 2016. When LuiMarco was on his way out. Watched every video ever since. It was a blast. Thing that especially sticks in my mind is when you revisited all the 2010s Arnold Classics in the run up to the 2018 AC. I always appreciated the more thoughtful videos and the training analysis. Which added to the balanced feel of this channel. There sure is a massive culture change in bb and life in general with social media. For me Tom, you became the literal voice of bodybuilding. Not Bob Cicherillo, not NSP, not Shawn Ray. When i think about BB i think about this channel. And considering you did all of this without a secure pay its absolutely remarkable. Thank you Tom! I miss this channel already. Get To The Choppa! Cheers from the Eu. ✌
Tom, while there are many out there that try to do what you have done, they don't come close to your honest, knowledgeable and unbiased critical analysis. From one Canadian to another, I wish you good luck Tom and have a good Spring!
The first year without my man commenting on the Olympia. A devastating year
Without "This was the tomn8er, and I'll be back" it truly set in. We're gonna miss your analysis, good luck with your writing Tom and all the best.
I got chills when he didn’t give his usual send off
Supersetman would not exist without Tomn8er! I really hope YOU'LL BE BACK
Tomn8er literally the only person capable of articulating how bodybuilding shows are judged. If any of these promoters had any sense they’d reach out to you and try to formalise an agreement to utilise your skills. Best of luck to you.
I agree with this, I looked at bodybuilding from a different angle now than before thanks to tom.
3rd!
You will be missed my bro. Thank you for all these years! ❤️🙏
My favorite bodybuilding channel, ever.
Man this is sad, IFBB messed up bad
*"It's almost criminal that a physique like Flex is here had to be relegated to runner up, but that's just how transcendent the prime Ronnie Coleman was!"* - Tomn8er
I will never forget your voice brother, thank you for everything, and I wish you best of luck! ❤️
Thats what happens when the judges know you're full of oil. Oil should be criminal. His abs even had oil in em.
@@ingaleerus4577oil should be totally banned.
You will be missed by thousands and thousands of people. Thank you for all the fantastic videos over the years. By far the most detailed, entertaining, honest/transparent and best bodybuilding channel ever. Thank you for all!
This is a devastating blow for the industry.
Until a couple years ago I had zero interest in bodybuilding. It was finding analytical channels like this and then learning about the history of bodybuilding I became interested in the sport… years later this interest has grown to me spending money on PPV’s, just like the Arnold Classic; again something I’d have never done without channels like this.

The man that introduced me to bodybuilding and made me wanna go to the gym at the age of 13. Will miss you man 🐐❤
im almost in tears man. hands down the best bodybuilding coverage channel. super sad to see you go. hope you’ll be back one day😢
these bodybuilding media guys are clowns, youtube as well. your gonna be sorely missed brother, your the best bodybuilding channel by far. you taught me a lot over the years and i had a lot of fun with your videos as well. Thanks Tom. 💪💪
theyre idiots. Guys like this help to grow the 'sport' facepalm...
UA-cam overall...!POS as well
Man, I’m just waiting to see him on my notifications “2023 Mr. Olympia: Open Pre-judging”

My eyes are still looking for 2023 Mr Olympia commentary made by you. Come back bro
No shame brother! Your old videos are still out there for all to see just like a series of published books. I love going back from time to time to rewatch them even though I’ve seen most of them already. Thank you for your excellent content… I’LL BE BACK as a fan! ❤
F'ing A there will be many generations of new young fans created by just stumbling onto these classics. Job well Done.

Man, I've been watching all your videos. I discovered you after this video was posted. Your analysis was top tier. Good luck in the future
It’s a real shame we won’t get any new videos from you on bodybuilding but it’s awesome you’ve decided to go after the things that will make you happy.

Hey Tom,
Thanks so much for your content over the years. I can’t tell you how much you taught all of us about the sport. Your vids have had a huge impact on me and I’m sad to see you go.
Best wishes!
Anybody else come back hoping for a some form Olympia review? Was quite an interesting and controversial year, what with so many pulling out, Ryan Terry FINALLY winning mp and the whole Hadi & Derek drama. Would’ve loved to hear Tomn8er’s opinion on it!
I’m a little late to the party but hey might as well share what I have. It’s a shame to see you go, but I completely understand your reasoning.
Your coverage of bodybuilding shows is by far and without a doubt the best, your articulate commentary pointed out things nobody else did, or even still does, and I often found myself watching your videos when I got frustrated with other channels for seemingly ignoring or brushing over things I noticed with shows.
I wish you the best Tomin8r, will miss the awesome breakdowns.

Man I really liked your analysis on bodybuilding. I genuinely trusted your opinions. Will miss you brother.
Tomn8r please come back ffs mate. You mean so much to us and you have such a good eye for bodybuilding. I really miss ur vids
Thank you for all these Years Tom. ❤️I watched you when I was a 3rd year in high school, and now I'm almost out of university. You will not be forgotten brother.
Goodbye brother, you will be remembered as one of the best to ever do it in UA-cam
One word... thanks! And remember don't "put that cookie down" and continue with your great passion in everything you wanna perceive... salute man!
I respect you a lot as a creator and consider you one of the best bodybuilding analysts on UA-cam, even among the IFBB pros with channels.

This was my favourite bodybuilding channel
Damn I actually teared up at the end. Will never forget this guys channel! Much love brother!
brother i listen to your videos every night before sleep for ASMR, i mean literally every night. Been following your channel for years, quit my UA-cam gaming channel, quit my second bodybuilding channel, got engaged with a girl, canceled the wedding, builded my career, now I'm making good money, but all those time before bed I would open your channel and listen to your voice😄 hope you will doing good in life, your supporter from CN.
Sad to see this. The best channel for analysis but also the history of the sport. Good luck my man.
Thank you for the years of providing top notch quality videos, you will be missed. Godspeed Tomn8er.
Hey brother. First of all, glad all is ok with you and your career, if you do decide to go for another channel and/or other content, you got my subscription!
Second, I concur with all the comments below, you really caused (and still cause) a really large impact in terms of bodybuilding community and its media, and also have become a staple for (especially hardcore) fans who enjoy the breakdowns and analyses of competitions and physiques.
Your commentary and uploads will be missed here!
I'm not going to attack the Arnold or its organiser(s), but that was a really low blow, f them. Your legacy will still remain though, so doesn't matter.
Thanks for everything Tom!
May God bless you.
YT is so afraid of getting sued they’ve degraded the quality of the site into a very unwelcoming place for content creators. I’m sorry this happened I’ll miss ur voice and now u as I get to see what u look like and of course your analysis on pro bodybuilding 🙏
We're gonna miss you man. I just re-watched your top 10 shoulders list today. Always loved your commentary, the quality of it. You're easily one of the best. All the best for your future endeavours. ❤️
You will be missed! Thank you for the amazing content you created over the years. I have watched many of your videos multiple times and will continue to do so. Again, thank you!
Pls come back else I will stop watching you tube
Hands down the best youtube channel for bodybuilding analysis. Every time you post a video, I watched it immediately. Very entertaining, and always appreciated your choice of words in your commentary. Looking forward to your future ventures, so please let us know when you start a new channel so we can follow it! Thank you for all the videos you made!
you’ll be missed bro! thank you for all the good vídeos
Hi Tom, I've following you channel for years. I think you're one of the best channels about bodybuilding and i'd even say the way I see bodybuilding is how I learnt from you.
Videos of Phil vs Kai, 2013 Prague Pro, 2009 Olympia, Pittsburgh Pro or Master of mandatories are my favorite ever about bodybuilding. Dont forget to mention the best poses.
If it really is the last video it's been great time all this years. If it's not, we will welcome you back.
Until next time.
Just started watching your videos bro. Thanks for the content you made over the years, it’s awesome.
Tom, I literally came down to your channel when you released your first video and have been watching you since then. There were parts where I didn't agree with you, but much less than when I did. You helped me to improve my English skills greatly. I really enjoyed how far you've come and loved the journey along with you. You'll be missed brother. Thankyou very much!
Bro, we will miss you very much. Good luck with your plans, Tom
Totally understand your decision, and I'm glad you've got some other hobbies that you're clearly passionate about. If those hobbies manifest as videos on a new channel, that would be great, but that's up to you. I haven't been a fan of bodybuilding for the last year or so, but stayed subbed to your channel (just yours). Your insight was top class and the reviews were always an entertaining watch, despite my overall lack of interest in the 'sport'. Well, it's been a blast, all the best with the future endeavors.
As I have fed back to you before, and coming from someone who has followed BB closely since the late 1970's, I have always found your channel's critiques the most eloquently articulated, analytically credible and confidently concise of any UA-cam BB coverage. I want to thank you for the countless hours you must have spent over the last few years. Your discernment and frankness will be missed.
i guess we never know how important someone is till he leave and then we can sens what we was blessed with, I'm not someone that watched all your videos but that have few i remember that change my view on bodybuilding and the way to judge a physique and be critical thanks for your service and your hard work. good luck
I was into bodybuilding long before I met you but you are the one from whom I learnt how to judge a physique. And it is a shame for bodybuilding community that you leave, it is hard to understand why they would turn down such a free publicity. I love bodybuilding and I see its potential but with these administrators, this sport does not live up to our expectations. Your commentary was quite unique and I know it sounds little bit silly but I will miss you. Take care
Thank you for the top quality material you've been producing over the years. Your in depth analysis will be missed
I think you are one of the best when it comes to coverage of BB.Thank you for all your hard work .I will look forward to what you have installed for us next
Noooooooooooo 😩😩😩😩 I have just started a year ago with watching bodybuilding and I fell in love with ur channel and the high quality of your analysis. My girlfriend already knew when I was watching ur videos just because of ur voice 😅 and because I was watching them nearly every free time I got in the last year. I really really appreciate what u did. All the videos of the different body parts or the coverage of the old olympia shows.... U provided so much information and background knowledge... Nobody else does that. But I understand u completely mate. I wish u just the best for u and ur whole family and everything you got in front of u. I hope ur taking the right way and I would really like to read into ur fantasy novel stuff since I am a big Warhammer fan and fan of everything monster like or fantasy like.....
I am soooo FREAKN sad right now 😩😔😔 but I'm happy for u that u chose to do something more for filling... A GIANT thanks for all the hard work u put into this videos and again I wish u just the best in ur future. I'm sure u will get everything u have ever wished for. Thanks and kind regards from Austria Tom 💪💪💪🤜🤛
Your a legend man. I haven't been following bodybuilding much the past 2 years but your stuff seriously got me through the pandemic lockdowns. The whole bodybuilding community is gonna miss you, wish you the best.
FYI UA-cam is a absolute joke, there is a channel that plagiarized one of your most view vid. I believed it’s called, “Most Incredible Physiques in Bodybuilding History. The clown literally uses chat bot to narrate most of your dialogues in your vids, same bodybuilders in chronicle order, and images. UA-cam won’t do anything about tht but helps the elite to strike quality content like ours. It angers and frustrates me nothing could be done to help.
Damn man I beeeeen loving your videos. Always so detailed and well made. Your tier lists of best bodybuilders and best bodyparts will forever be "cannon" to me of what is and was the best out there! Thank you for all these years of bodybuilding content no bs. Truly sad and one of a kind. Wish you the best!
Such a shame... I've always enjoyed your content, and to have this Brian Whatshisface just be a professional jobsworth to you is a slap in the face for anyone that's enjoyed opinions of knowledgeable bodybuilding enthusiasts. I know Nick had an issue like this about a year ago... not sure if it was the Olympia or an Arnold, but he eventually got a pardon and his videos came back up.
But if your heart's not in it, then this is possibly a blessing in disguise... good luck Tomn8er !!! hope you'll be back !!
Fr tho above all I just hope you live a long, mentally healthy, happy, fulfilled life. Creaters are people and their wellbeing should always be valued over their content. Tomn8er seems like a great person and this channel is clearly only negatively affecting him. He deserves better.
Onward and upward Tommy boy! Thanks for all you've done for the community over the years. We appreciate it a lot more than you probably think 💪
No one is able to do the same-in-depth view of BB competitions like U. At the same time, I respect your chooses moving forward and wish U a happy journey along the way 😢
They don’t understand that creators like you promete them for free and helps the industry. They simply think in the short term
Thanks for the years of great content! The progression of the quality of commentary and the depth of your judging understanding growing was a joy to follow.
Thanks for being here for so long and making this amazing content. The number one bodybuilding youtuber and my personal favourite. Youve helped me understand physiques when I was still a newbie and furthered my knowledge and drive to train. Again thank you for everything and I wish you great success in your next goals in life :)
My favorite bodybuilding channel, always a must watch during a post workout meal . You'll be missed. Best of luck in whatever you decide to do next man
Like I’ve mention before, you’ve been probably if not the one that I can relate the most when evaluating bodybuilding… bless you man.
Thank u m man, great content, respectful, knowledgeable and hit your mark with the in depth analysis intention. You will for sure be missed.
Wow what a great move from the Arnolds PR team. Terminating the LAST couple of channels that still actively keep the sport going. Great job. Just the right thing to make bodybuilding even less popular and followed. Very very sad. They give us some shitty livestreams for high prices and even afterwards dont want any free exposure to the public as promotion.
Thanks for all the content you’ve made man.
You’ve easily been the most consistent and rational bodybuilding commentator in this space for several years.
I’m a huge fan of bodybuilding. But I also would be okay with it fading away because the promoters, celebrities, and basically everyone else involved with the exception of a few people have ZERO interest in growing the sport.
These people would rather be the kings of a very unpolished and unprofessional competition than grow it into something respectable and risk their positions. It’s selfishness of the highest degree.
There is not a single event worth paying for. They’ll all in dogshit quality and they’re generally really boring. Nothing is done to improve lighting, overall entertainment factor and utilization of big figures in the sport like Cbum.
I’ve wanted to make a commentary channel for sometime but I’m afraid I’d get attacked for talking about people like Steven Weinberger and the Manion brothers for holding back the sport. It just doesn’t seem worth it.
The deep rooted issues in the sport will never be addressed. It’s a shame
You're not alone, many of us think the same things
Dear Pretentious man,
There is no reason for your multiple paragraphs. They're all the same topic.😆 almost as cringe as " in this space". I'd stop saying that if I were you. Not what you think. Stupid people love to sat that cause they heard it somewhere and ran with it. We dont use that in college or in medical school. Or in law school. I promise you. Just on youtube. Lol is there anyone who ISNT on Adderall? This is crazy.
@@ingaleerus4577 I'm not a native english speaker, so you may be right. Nevertheless, it seems to me quite pretentious to lecture someone on how to divide his text in paragraph in a YT comment.
Again, I do agree on the paragraph tip, but reading a wall of text on the phone is harder than read one period at a time.
Dude, you're 100% spot on.
One of the main reasons sports like bodybuilding and strongman never grow to mainstream is that the promoters don't understand decentralized promotion and are holding on to their little ppv money for dear life.
I feel like everything I want to say has been addressed by the comments... but you brought me to bodybuilding. From being part of the public who thought of it as this weird niche of "sports" , I began to love bodybuilding through stumbling upon your content. Your videos are the most bingeable and rewatchable bodybuilding content on youtube. Thank you for everything you have contributed, and enjoy your personal life to the fullest. ✌🏼
youtube is really horrible with all the copyright issues, sad to see that people are forced to leave because of it. definitely the greatest bodybuilding channel, and your content was what got me into bodybuilding, thanks your amazing content
I haven't been a fan of bodybuilding or your channel for the longest but your analysis videos on the 90s bodybuilding scene and ur annual takes on the mr olympia have been one of the only videos I can count on to really keep me entertained. Thanks for your great content and I would also love to watch some videos of philosophy with you narrating it.
Really enjoyed your content over the past few years man, particularly the bodyparts lists. Definitely helped train my eye a bit
Ride off into the sunset without regret. You’ve done more for bodybuilding on UA-cam than anyone else. You introduced me to bodybuilding. You’ll be fondly missed, and I wish you nothing but the best.
I really like your contents Tom. You were always the best analyst of BB shows. People like you should’ve hit the 1M subscribers since a long time. Very unfortunate 😫
Sucks to hear you been going through this. I really enjoy your vids giving your take on the physiques and the placings. Good luck on the spiritual journey and the book writing. Lately, I’ve been more into enlightenment and other things outside of bodybuilding as well💯🤝
Thank you for great enjoyable commentary. I could feel that you are an honest person and a good human being. I will miss your work and I sent you best wishes.
One of the best online physique critique on youtube
You really helped me understand bodybuilding the way it is supposed to
After luimarco i consider you to be the goat of youtube bodybuilding
Please be back😭
Best bodybuilding analysis by some way and I’ve seen a lot over the years. Interesting how you don’t have to be an ex pro to give effective critique and observation but you do need an eye for detail and a way of explaining things eruditely and concisely as demonstrated by your excellent best body parts series. All the best and thank you for all the great content over the years.
oh man it is so sad. as many others said, your analysis and style was top notch, nobody comes close even to this day.
even just making a few videos of major events per year was good enough, was a real treat seeing a new video popping up in feed from you.
all the best to you
Your channel helped me rediscover and care about bodybuilding. Thank you!
Sucks that they’re not trying to leverage your channel and help you help them out.
I agree with this decision because we don’t want to lose your old videos, they are so well done. Wish you the best man
Your analyses on bodybuilding were extremely insightful. It’s clear that you have excellent critical thinking skills. You’re precise and concise with how you explain things, and you’re nearly always accurate to the truth, in my opinion. It’s funny, I was a philosophy major. I don’t recall exactly when, but I know it’s happened on at least one occasion, where I was watching your videos and thought to myself “This guy would do well in a philosophy class.” 😂 It makes sense now. In my philosophical studies I focused on ethics, and through that, I ascertained the most impactful information on how I have decided to live. Though I am long removed from academic philosophy, the core moral principles I developed are the most important thing in my life, and likely always will be until I die. Create a philosophy channel and I’m there!
Thanks that's an interesting compliment. As it happens I did take a bunch of philosophy courses back in university - could've minored in it. But not really a fan of the academic side of that anymore.
@@Tomn8er atleast do youtube shorts bro.. Miss you so much
you'll be missed bro. i always love your content and how casual your commentary are, the fact that your revisited videos also dont have any background music, just you casually reviewing, yet so professional analysis and comprehensible on each bodybuilder is just enjoyable. love your content man!
Thanks for all of your amazing commentary over the years. Your writing was unrivaled and your non-contest judging videos were always very well organized. I’m sure that your fantasy novels will interesting reads and that your community will follow you wherever you decide to go next. Good luck in your next venture, Tom, and thanks again for all of the great content over the years.
Your analysis were so genuine..we are with you whenever you come wish to come back on UA-cam
Thanks man for the past couple of years! For the other avenue you may try to look for (spirit stuff), I'm personally looking forward to it. Myself is also an avid listener on that topic too. So, I'll surely follow you there :D Thanks again and have a prosperous life!
Your analysis and contest coverage are my absolute favorite in bodybuilding.
Cheers Tom and thanks for all these years. (look forward to checking those fantasy novels out one day)
Years flew by. I found your channel in late 2016. When LuiMarco was on his way out. Watched every video ever since. It was a blast. Thing that especially sticks in my mind is when you revisited all the 2010s Arnold Classics in the run up to the 2018 AC. I always appreciated the more thoughtful videos and the training analysis. Which added to the balanced feel of this channel. There sure is a massive culture change in bb and life in general with social media. For me Tom, you became the literal voice of bodybuilding. Not Bob Cicherillo, not NSP, not Shawn Ray. When i think about BB i think about this channel. And considering you did all of this without a secure pay its absolutely remarkable. Thank you Tom! I miss this channel already. Get To The Choppa! Cheers from the Eu. ✌
Tom, while there are many out there that try to do what you have done, they don't come close to your honest, knowledgeable and unbiased critical analysis. From one Canadian to another, I wish you good luck Tom and have a good Spring!
