@@filataurus5975 she left me at 29 and she was my first true love, the feeelings I developed for her are unmatched… the time we had was special but it’s over now. Thank god for the gym and the health he provides me to have the ability to better myself each day. As time passes the pain lessens but still the memories remain. Where she is I honestly can say I just hope she’s happy .
@@Henry-350 that’s not me, everyone has a purpose in our lives, she didn’t leave me just because and I’m mature enough to understand that. I thank her for the time we had and had she not done that I wouldn’t be the better man I am today for it.
Going to the gym and having a friend to help keep eachother accountible helps a lot as well. Past month of working out with my buddy has really skyrocketed our mental health and our physical health. Keep up the good work on your videos its a very true message.
Loving the content. I stumbled upon your "put your phone down" video and that day I went for a 45 min walk without my phone. Felt awesome. Kept playing that video on repeat. Would love to see more of this "lessons from your life experience" type of content. The Halo gameplay helps as well
I’m really struggling right now. I’ve lost a lot of friends and got kicked out of a community I loved because some people spread rumors about me. I don’t feel good about myself, I don’t have the mental energy to do what I wanna do, I’m constantly in some state of mental negativity. I want to change. I wanna be the person I know I can be. I’m so scared of change but this is something I need to do. Thank you for the video dude.
Really happy to know that you're making a better life. Very refreshing to hear someone talking about taking care of themselves while watching a halo gameplay. Because most people see video games as one of many negatives, it is hard to link it with good life advice. But the point is video games revolve around our life, not the opposite. I was hitting the gym consistently when I was in college but stopped when I had to work on my honors project. And I never picked it up again until a month ago after injuring my knee while catching a luggage that dropped on me. I started doing weighted runs twice a week. It was exhausting because the weather was very hot and humid, but I felt great every time hitting 5km. Keep up the good work and I wish you all the best.
Thank you for posting this video. I had this drive to commit to a life style change, but then 3 weeks in, I got sick and reverted back to my bad habits and poor mental health & diet. One week later Im still sick and I find it so hard to pick myself back up, and I beat myself up a lot. I beat myself up because I actually saw weight loss. I actually saw progress. I actually felt my confidence coming back, and I let it get away once again. thank you for sharing your experience
Thanks for sharing this man, im only 17 and don't really have the time or "funding" to go to the gym and have to work out at home which gets lonely sometimes since nobody in my family works out and most of my friends are either to busy or fatties.
this video has a very 2010-2013 WoodysGamertag sort of vibe, and I bloody love it. I've missed this sort of video, the laid back commentary/monologue about a point in someone's life, and someone's genuine advice. Not on the back of "alpha-male" culture, some rubbish brand deal, or some need for a primal renaissance, but the same way you might share advice with a younger sibling/relative. I love it, it feels nostalgic. Instant sub. p.s. at 2:23 the guy looks at his grenade that eventually kills him just before it blew up and that was straight out of Red vs Blue I swear xD
I appreciate it. WoodysGamertag is a legend. I want to talk about life and try to give some decent advice, no alpha male stuff here lol. But that grenade was hilarious lmao. Thanks for taking the time to watch.
ive always preferred seeing the gym as looking after myself to keep myself healthy and able for my loved ones as opposed to some weird thing to sneer over others for not doing like so many other damaged people do. therapy and gym is a damn good combo.
Man I'm glad I found this channel. You're right, taking care of your physical shape is really important, it helps everything else in life, you don't have to go to the gym tho. 7 years ago I tried going to the gym for three weeks and I felt miserable, I was constantly socially awkward and the more I went there the more difficult it was to be there. It was the worst three weeks of my life, I really hated it. Then I started working out at home and it was amazing, I now work out 4 times a week and I'm in the best shape I've ever been, I'm full of energy and the fact that I don't have to be around people makes me feel at ease. Take care of yourself, and if you don't want to go to the gym then work out at home. It's ok not wanting to be around people.
@@ClassicHaloCommentary hell yeah. you give me the same vibes as seananners old commentary's where he just talks about life with gameplay in the background
Dude, it took your video to pierce the veil. Thank you. Hope to comment back to this video and say my life has totally changed for the better. I've been dying for years just mentally and physically rotting. I'm glad you exist. Thanks again.
Glad to see some genuine content on yt again. So much superficial stuff, or self-help gurus looking to squeeze cash out of struggling people. I picked up kickboxing about a year ago when my relationship started to fall apart, and my fiancee kind of abandoned me. It took a lot out of me but facing adversity has since become a staple of my life. Whenever I'm fighting something, is when I feel most alive. Since then, I now run a successful business building websites for businesses. I'm grateful for the hardship, in hindsight. It has taught me a lot about persistence and how to not buckle under stress. No matter what you're going through, there's most always a light at the end of the tunnel, and taking good care of oneself physically and mentally really increases the speed at which bad times turn into good times.
Im moving to college in a few days. I feel like Im coming out of a bad depression after a series of bad events and choices over the last few years. Thanks for showing that its possible. I hope to start my academic journey right and treat my mind and body better in the coming years.
I've been trying to get into rock climbing lately, my fingers are sore as I type because I went today. Having the discipline to go every week isn't easy, especially when the gym is an hour drive away from work, but I know discipline like this is my weak point. I have very little in the way of natural self discipline like this, it took me until losing a tooth at 26 to get into the habit of flossing when I brush my teeth. But I did get into that habit because I knew I needed to, and I know I need to get into the habit of doing exercise because my life is hardly going fucking anywhere as it is. I'm almost in my 30s and my hair sucks, I still live at home (though justifiably), and I've never been in a relationship. But I can go climb some rocks, and damn if I almost forgot how good a good workout feels. I just gotta get stubbornly persistent about it, I can do that.
Went from 245 to 165 in a little over a year. Got complacent and went back up to 190. Started over again last week so every bit of motivation I come across helps! Great channel idea. Instant sub.
It's funny how people thing video games make people couch potatoes; it was Halo that inspired - actually, we're barely 20, so still is inspiring me and my friends to go to the gym or airsoft or other things that are fun and get the blood pumping. Ever since I picked up halo when I was like 12, I fell in love with it and now me and my friends are trying to start up a company built on community like Halo was back in the day; we still haven't gotten it into the air, for now we just have day jobs, but on the side we're cooking some seeds of ideas and hoping they turn into popcorn. Is that metaphor stretching it too much? I don't think so. Anyway. God bless you all.
i quit drinking this week, 3 days down. ive tried before but this time is it. i love to ride dirtbikes and fish and have fun in the woods. i need to feel better
My gym is just my flat floor and dip bars in my room. My triceps are pretty decent ♥ Exercise is such an effort test. Just do things and you'll slowly improve
Hey bro. I know you don’t have a lot of videos up yet, but I really liked this video. I grew up with halo and this is such a comforting format for this type of commentary. I’m going through the end of a 5 year relationship right now, and it’s so hard to be motivated to move on. Even though I feel like I know all of these things you’re saying, it really helps me keep my momentum to hear it sometimes. Keep doing what you’re doing, there are a lot of people like me that really appreciate this.
Interesting. Most young people today who go to the gym instead decay further into narcissism or earn multiple superiority complexes that leads them to every sort of radicalism instead of helping them improve.
Exercise is good, but it won't fix every aspect of your life, you may find refuge on it, but it will never be enough just by itself. You need something to express yourself, art, it can be anything, in my case it was photography. Build healthy relationships, with others, and more importantly, with yourself. Try to seek therapy, that helped me the most, it made me realise so many things i was doing wrong. Spirituality is also important, it doesn't necessarily need to be Christianity, you can find your own faith. I hope my comment helps you in any way, and I desire you, a wonderful day, or night.
Worth mentioning, before hitting any gym, check that neither your blood pressure nor your sugar levels nor your heart rate nor your respiration is abnormal, you might want to not lift or do anaerobic exercise if that's the case or do other types of exercise (aerobics) because otherwise you will get fit, but your health in some areas will get worse because they are not A-OK for what the average chronically diseased human should do, in those cases it's better to get your stamina up, weight down and condition on average level first and see if that fixes the above mentioned problems. Then hit the weights. I'm not joking.
Running 2 mi every other day and doing dumbbell curls with 30 lbs every other day helps me. I do both of those things at home every morning considering going to the gym honestly takes up more time than I have... I need someone else to go with like to push me to go to these places to actually help me get out of the house. Otherwise doing squats and dumbbell curls in front of the TV will have to do. Yes I am making excuses and being a loser.
I just turned 30 and I’m hovering around 250 right now. I feel like a giant piece of shit every single day. I need to go but I just don’t know what to do
I got divorced in 2017 and enabled myself with a really bad drinking problem. Also, I just have no love for online gaming anymore. I've been almost a year clean off of Xbox Live, albeit that new Doom 1+2 update has caused me to relapse...
Nice video! We all need more in life. We are all empty eventually. I would recommend giving Mere Christianity by CS Lewis a read. Regardless if you are religious, it will make you think deeply :)
I like how you have subtitles at the bottom, that's a good idea to bake it into the video, but I feel like that must have been time-consuming to do. How do you think you got picked up by the algorithm with only 1 video? I'm starting to do video essays and I need tips. I made a Halo video recently too btw.
Hopefully UA-cam isn’t deleting your comments. I honestly am not sure. I have another channel that is decently successful, so I kind of know how to tag my videos. Honestly I think it’s thumbnails and the tags. But the captions I did were auto captions. So thankfully it’s not bad.
I can’t put on weight for anything. All my numbers are almost elite level lifts for my weight. I got up to 187 bodyweight at one point but felt sick to my stomach, so I dropped back to 175. My lifts haven’t stopped going up thankfully.
@@ClassicHaloCommentary It definitely helps, but I'd say it's more accurately that not working out makes depression worse rather than working out being the magic cure for everybody.
im sorry but you've been going to the gym for 8 years consistently and have only put on 10lbs of muscle? that's conservatively what you should be putting on within 1 year as a newb. by 8 years it should be more like 40-50lbs. not to demean but you should consider a new program.
I’ve put on more, I’ve went up about 25. but I’ve dropped back down because I don’t feel like eating the amount of food I need. It’s hard for me to keep on weight. I’m in elite level weight for my body size.
Just an FYI, I’ve put on more than 10 pounds in my lifting journey. I chose to slim back down. I should have mentioned that lol.
When she left me she also broke me but breaking me, helped build me thank you Amanda Im a better person now.

“It’s not rocket science folks. Weight loss is 5% exercise, 45% diet, 50% doing what the fuck you set out to do and doing it consistently.”
