This is the type of video that really resonates with alot of young dudes trying to figure life out. Especially valuable information, from a real dude, in a sea of fitness influencers who don't give a damn about their viewers.
Mr. Bugenhagen, Please, please, please.... purchase Kneesovertoesguy's training systems. I have every confidence you will find very great benefit in them. He has saved many clients from having knee replacement or even such severe fates as being wheelchair bound. His methods have changed my life. I have had severe knee problems (and surgeries) causing very limited ability. I have never bought anything from him, I have simply studied his videos and gradually and carefully applied what he teaches. Will I ever break world records? Certainly not. However I am capable of things I would have sworn for years I would never ever be capable of. I am forever grateful for his free content and cannot recommend him enough. If you apply his interventions consistently, the effects will accumulate overtime and cause enormous increases in quality of life, and almost certainly grant you knee ability that you had previously written off. I wish nothing but the most robust health possible for you. Stay healthy, stay positive, and always remember.... IT'S A MIIIIND SETTT!!!! We're all gonna make it, brah. Peace.
Welcome back, Rick. I honestly think leaving WWE behind is the best thing that could have happened to you. Even though I obviously don't know you in real life, it feels like you had lost a part of yourself during your time in WWE, and now it looks like that part is coming back in strides. I've been through some rough times, and am still going through them in some regard, but you're absolutely right that just having the spirit to push through, to hold onto your values and continue earnestly at 100% effort will see you through. Good luck, and thank you for all the bulbous, striated, voluptuous inspiration over the years ❤
I really love the Bugez opening up about his struggles. I can't benc 500 lbs, but I can relate to this 100%. I'm gonna do that thing I've been putting out for so long. Time to be Mr. Spontanuity too.

You're right about the changing nature of the platform, just don't let it get to your head. UA-cam is pretty known for screwing content creators over the years with radical changes, and many of them tried to adapt with gimmicks and clickbaits to stay afloat only to lose all their viewers. The key here is that you'll be alright as long as you keep true to yourself, doesn't matter if you talk in a car for half an hour of deadlift for thirty seconds, people will watch not because of what you do but because it's YOU doing it.
Respect for boogz for the honesty here, a lot of people would just say 'everything happens for a reason' but he's being honest about his own decision making here
Don't be too harsh on yourself. I understand what you mean about having regrets, we all have them. At the same time, you've got to pick one route at one point and it seems like you've naturally gravitated towards strength training and wrestling. You might have been another Hendrix, sure. But you might not've been one just as well. Meanwhile, you're easily one of the top fitness influencers and an absolute horse of a man. It's something most of us aspire to be. You've got it. Take time to appreciate that you really are at the top of the game that you've picked. You gravitated towards fitness because you loved it. No matter how you look at it, you are a success. Don't be too harsh on yourself for not becoming successful at every hobby you've ever picked because that is just not possible.
I've been watching for like 4+ years now and one of my favorite things about this channel is how you always talked about the ups and downs whether it related to finances, career, or physiques and lifts. Then the viewer subsequently got to see you accomplish your goals through hard work and passion. I'm sure myself and many of the other viewer know you'll bounce back from any troubles. Just need Consistency, Patience, and a little bit of Passion for what you're doing
As an old guy we spent a little time on the canvas back in the day. And over 55 plus yrs in gyms..fields..mats training for judo..highland games,powerlifting now just trying to maintain a measure of strength and health at 70 yrs old... I love your videos..insights and hardcore approach! The media age has taken over but not really for the better, keep on keeping on!

Glad you’re getting back Bugez, I do want to say that it has felt different the last few years which may be a factor in the reduced views. I haven’t felt the intensity, hell I don’t know if I’ve even heard the word “mindset” in a long time. It wasn’t all just about having horse legs, and the hilarious edits or posing. Those were nice variety for the usual content. But the reason why I think a lot of people kept coming back the main course the intensity, the passion, and the screaming that we’re breaking our barriers. These last two videos have brought back that old feeling.

I don't think you watched the video. Bugez is saying that he doesn't want to be scared of trying new things and not worry about the view count. Chasing after some formula that gave him success in the past is the regretful, reminiscent mindset he's trying to avoid. He also ends the video saying, "It's all about the mindset" repeatedly, but the mindset has evolved past lifting heavy weights into a code of living with gratefulness.
He has been more intense than ever for the last few years, the highlights have just been at his day job (wwe) rather than youtube. Look at the guy, 40+ pounds of mass in just the last 3 years. He's been going HARD. Harder than ever
Love to hear your thoughts Professor Buge. For what it's worth, the content that got me into your channel was your coffee talks with juji, and the stuff that keeps me here still is hearing you sit down and think out loud. Looking forward to more of these.
Love these caffeinated car talks bro. Getting more insight to The Mindset is really cool, and you’re totally right, perspective is Everything. It’s the first step in us manifesting our reality. Anyway, i’m excited to see whatever moves you make next dude
I've been subbed since 30k and have enthusiastically shared so many videos with my friends and family since then, and I still will. I'm 25 feeling incredibly lost and confused and listening to this very real talk from someone I seriously look up to has made a huge difference in how I feel. Doing difficult stuff now to avoid making it worse later resonated big time. Happy to hear about the freedom you're feeling and I'm very excited to see whatever you're up to next!
All joking aside Boogz, your journey, the highs and the lows, I’ve followed and been legitimately inspired by in my life. Thanks for getting back on and staying on the horse, even if the horse is your own hagen horse-powered hamstrings!

Inspirational. Seriously. I really appreciate the candor here. I’m at a precipice of my own where I’ve decided to take a risk and make a huge career change from a comfortable software job. I worry everyday that I made the wrong decision, but I know I’m following my heart. Even still, the fear of failure is crippling at times, but I just have to keep at it. Listening to you reflect on what you might consider “failures” felt incredibly validating. Knowing these struggles are common fills me with the feeling that all this is worth it, and I’ll come out the other end of things stronger for it.
Just started following your channel about a year ago, and I've never really gained any muscle in my 30 yrs. Your first recent "real car talk" type video inspired me to get frickin DENSE bro.. I just bought a bunch of steel, and I'm welding up a rack I can squat and bench off of. I the inspiration man, I'll be here for the videos. 🤙
I just see a dude trying to provide the best life for his family and some of these big changes can seem a little scary but since I’ve been watching you I’ve seen you and mama over come so many damn obstacles. You’re gonna figure this one out too boogz. Just be yourself. I personally think you’re a friggin brain sack of knowledge so share that in the shorts all the stuff you’ve learned over the years and you’re gonna do great. I think the reason why Sam sulek is growing like crazy is because he’s a breathe of fresh air in the UA-cam fitness world, people like him for how real he is. but the truth is boogs you’ve always been that dude! I bet if you took us with you lifting and just talked about all the different things that go on in the mindset than you’ll kill it. You obviously have the charisma and the personality. Regardless of what you choose to do we’re here for you bud. 🤘🏾

sam sulek made videos at the right time. Most of his advice is dubious at best, especially for natty lifters. And even if you were on gear, you wouldn't want to emulate him if you're going for longevity. Hell the dude is 21 and on gear lookin like a monster and out of breath in all his videos.
I have the word "Invictus" tattooed on my wrist because the poem of the same name has one of my favorite lines and is my inspiration. "It matters not how strait the gate, how charged with punishments, the scroll, I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul."

Listen Bugez. Jokes and satire aside. You’re a good dude. We’ve all been in the hard spots. And we will all be back in the hard spots. It’s inevitable. It’s life. That’s reality. But the openness of your recent videos is truly relatable and strangely comforting to I imagine a lot of people. Anyway. Just saying. Keep going bro.
Threw this on while I loaded up 30lbs in a backpack for a nice morning RUCK down to the local gasstop for some energy juice. With this on, it went from boring training to 2 miles of pure MINDSET
I resonate with everything you're saying in this video. Regardless of whatever direction you take, I have no doubts that you will continue to inspire everyone watching. You're videos keep me inspired and fired up to workout every day.
I respect the talk bugez because it shows how you really do roll with the punches and get life done. No matter what! Your last car talk I truly loved and you immediately following it up by putting yourself and your content out there shows you meant it! Voluptuous lobes of glazed Grey matter pumping glorious wisdom to an eager audience.
God bless you eric, you're a treasure to the lifting community and to people who want to better themselves, you've kept your integrity and we're forever thankful for it!!!
I resonate with everything you state in this video at a level beyond comprehension. Definitely incorporate these longer mindset videos with the short content. Much love brother ❤

Hell yes, VonBuogenjizz, I love the message about "Change" and how POSITIVE you are approaching it and the great powerful attitude of truth about how change is important to respond to and NOT STAY IN THE PAST! The past has valuable lessons, but one cannot stay there but move forward into more mature and better ways of being, acting and doing. Your message is most true and important! Thank you!

big b just finished up the video and i gotta say it hit home, currently pursuing a degree that i am not the most passionate about (but i do not despise it) the true thing i love is training, but not having a set plan and not knowing what the future holds is something i struggle with since i like having control over my life, but i have realized its alright to change paths and make different moves as you go, so thanks man i appreciate the video ps: never stop claiming ITS A MINDSET

Something I recognize I want in life is a greater perspective. I don't know why, but I suppose I naturally associated that with positive experience. Currently I'm going through some hardship. Thank you for making it click that hardship yields perspective as well. Thank you for strengthening my mindset. Persevere.
Damn Rick, I’m glad you just made the gosh darn video. Thanks for the golden nuggets! 🤙 I really enjoyed this man. Honestly. I think a lot of people need to hear this, especially right now. Your a good dude. Thankful that you put yourself out there, I’ve learned alot over the years.
One thing I love about the BOOGZ is that you don't change with the trends of lifting-based entertainment. Lifting UA-cam today is rife with drama commentators, flashy celebrity gyms, overdone edits with cliche b-roll, and general vanity coupled with negativity. That's why the only lifting UA-camr I watch is Eric, no cookie cutter/johnny bodybuilder bs, just solid videos. KEEP IT UP ERIC
In my humble opinion, Eric Bugenhagen is one of the most unique online fitness personalities out there. You get a unique blend of comedy, action, and raw intensity! As well as some good strength and fitness tid bits here and again. I don’t necessarily agree with ALL of his lifting methodologies, but he seems to get results. Having said that, his resistance band, warm-ups for shoulders and traps has saved my joints, a ton of pain and discomfort. I love his unique approach to the online fitness community that is already oversaturated with the same material. I do believe Bugenhagen to be one hell of a good coach. He helped me understand that getting strong was more about building a skill set and less about doing endless reps. Eric Bugenhagen will no doubt, bounce back from all of this and come back strong!
Buges is cool because he prioritises having fun above basically everything else. Plus he's a superhuman lifter. It's the perfect combo for an online character - mad personality and impressive content.
More of these please. Your inspirational videos connect better because you’re not just regurgitating some carefully crafted BS speech, you’re speaking from experience. It’s almost as if you’re just thinking aloud to convince yourself, which is authentic. I love how “free flow conscience of the mind” these videos are.
I don't ever comment on much but I worked as an executive director for a behavioral health company and one of patterns I always noticed was clients inability to change or welcome change. Humanity has a fear of it, naturally so because with it comes plethora of challenges and potential adversity but it gave me a lot of perspective on the importance of being open to it. Just like your lifting, you are adaptible and you've taken on different styles over the years to learn a new growth format. It's about applying that same princples to damn near everything we do in life. You're a solid one.
I’m happy you were a WWE superstar temporarily. It sucks it didn’t work out but if you never became a WWE superstar, I probably would have never discovered who you are and I think you are one of the most entertaining dudes I’ve ever seen lol. I’ll always come back to your channel and watch your content man!
I tried gorilla glute press at the end of my bench workout yesterday. I was surprised I couldn’t hit 100kg.Also my shoulder didn’t like that angle before it used to love it. It was all I could do. I guess it’s lack of specialising having something to do with it
Love your Passion Eric. You are an inspiration to many. Lots of ups and downs in life. Stay positive and even bigger and better things coming to you and your family!!
Enjoyed this. Ive quit a lot of sports/activities I wish I kept with. But I use that lesson that youve gotta just keep going . the ambiguity of not being commited to anything will usually lead to a less satisfying outcome where you still have to deal with a lot of stress anyway.
These 30 mins went by fast. I love the intense vidz, but this is amazing too. Your thoughts and struggles resonate with so many Mr Boogz, and as long as you are your authentic self the boys will watch anything, no matter the form.
Rick, you motivate me a lot. Hell today I pulled my back out at the gym. Looking forward to getting more into your thought process on things, mundane or extraordinary, all the same I think we are all here for it. Rock on
I’d like to see the Bugez in the next season of HEELS. Just finished season 2 and it’s fucking excellent. Del Hagen can bring even more excellence to an already excellent excellency.

If you are reading this my friend. I was watching you on youtube way before you were in wwe for your lifting and mindset content. And as a life long pro wrestling fan I said wow this guy would be a star in WWE. So when you signed with WWE I was really exited for you. Then i saw you with Shin playing guitar and getting over and thought holy shit its happening! I dont know if you are done with wrestling but i still believe that you can be at the top of the business.Your personality is perfect to be a top guy. I always wanted to see you ranting promos in the way you rant in your videos. Screaming about mindset etc. Anyway hopefully we see you again in pro wrestling. I dont really follow Aew these days but i would switch it on to see what you doing bro. Maybe in AEW you could be your true self and then make your eay back WWE! Also you are correct. The world is an ever changing place. You must be always ready to change with it so you dont get left behind. Remember mate ITS A MINDSET!!!
@@ericbugenhagenOfficial you're welcome mate. I actually made a video on my own channel last year predicting you as the next big star in WWE. Feel free to take a look. ua-cam.com/video/Py9t3ai5vY8/v-deo.htmlsi=PbkfkWmQVwIdVo4K Excuse my boring ass voice over. I'm trying to get a UA-cam thing going and quite got it down yet. Keep up all your good work dude.
Bugez. You rule. You preached to us about the mindset - THE FOCUS. You have to focus on what you want to do, and always remember that it’s never too late for you to do the shit you want to do. “Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That’s why they call it the present.” You’ve inspired a whole generation🙏❤️
Totally agree. Perspective is fundamental. Obviously you gotta take a decision, decide your next step, once you’ve seen the plethora of perspectives available. And that’s crucial too cause your deciding how to define your future.
YK what bugez, I been watching you for so long, and hearing you talk about the passage of time and how things change and so was awesome. Really ties into life even beyond lifting.
This is what i really like. Just sitting there being genuine and just talking and it’s still entertaining. Not trying to be inspiring but just is and attempting to be as real as he can be.
I love how he looks like he's fucking ready no matter what he's talking about... Makes you excited to hear him talk... Like the first time you took too much jack3d back in the day
Rick, i'm not some bodybuilder or mega fanboy, but I watched this half hour vid. Because it's good, and intelligent. Shorts are garbage, people are just getting dumber, basically.
And literally crippling their nervous systems's ability to produce focus extended for more than 30 seconds. I wish YT provided an option to hide their shorts instead of having them shoved in our faces.
Love the return of old bugez
You

this video is your youtube PR bro, keep going your such an inspiration
LFGGGGGGGF
I remember he made a video a long time ago that said stay natty
You're right about the changing nature of the platform, just don't let it get to your head. UA-cam is pretty known for screwing content creators over the years with radical changes, and many of them tried to adapt with gimmicks and clickbaits to stay afloat only to lose all their viewers. The key here is that you'll be alright as long as you keep true to yourself, doesn't matter if you talk in a car for half an hour of deadlift for thirty seconds, people will watch not because of what you do but because it's YOU doing it.
very true bro
Respect for boogz for the honesty here, a lot of people would just say 'everything happens for a reason' but he's being honest about his own decision making here
Don't be too harsh on yourself. I understand what you mean about having regrets, we all have them. At the same time, you've got to pick one route at one point and it seems like you've naturally gravitated towards strength training and wrestling. You might have been another Hendrix, sure. But you might not've been one just as well. Meanwhile, you're easily one of the top fitness influencers and an absolute horse of a man. It's something most of us aspire to be. You've got it. Take time to appreciate that you really are at the top of the game that you've picked. You gravitated towards fitness because you loved it. No matter how you look at it, you are a success. Don't be too harsh on yourself for not becoming successful at every hobby you've ever picked because that is just not possible.
I've been watching for like 4+ years now and one of my favorite things about this channel is how you always talked about the ups and downs whether it related to finances, career, or physiques and lifts. Then the viewer subsequently got to see you accomplish your goals through hard work and passion. I'm sure myself and many of the other viewer know you'll bounce back from any troubles. Just need Consistency, Patience, and a little bit of Passion for what you're doing
I can't believe WWE didnt give him a chance. What an incredible person and humble man.
Loved that last analogy, ive never considered a failed rep to have provided 100% of stimulus in a limited range of motion, thats so true.
24:53 ' i love it more than-...you know' nice save rick lol
As an old guy we spent a little time on the canvas back in the day. And over 55 plus yrs in gyms..fields..mats training for judo..highland games,powerlifting now just trying to maintain a measure of strength and health at 70 yrs old... I love your videos..insights and hardcore approach! The media age has taken over but not really for the better, keep on keeping on!
Nothing better than Ricky B's car talks that grace us with the MINDSET!!!
Keep these longer videos coming! They work wonders combined with pre workout before a big sesh!

Glad you’re getting back Bugez, I do want to say that it has felt different the last few years which may be a factor in the reduced views. I haven’t felt the intensity, hell I don’t know if I’ve even heard the word “mindset” in a long time. It wasn’t all just about having horse legs, and the hilarious edits or posing. Those were nice variety for the usual content. But the reason why I think a lot of people kept coming back the main course the intensity, the passion, and the screaming that we’re breaking our barriers. These last two videos have brought back that old feeling.

I hope Bugez sees this message. Cause this is exactly it!
I don't think you watched the video.
Bugez is saying that he doesn't want to be scared of trying new things and not worry about the view count. Chasing after some formula that gave him success in the past is the regretful, reminiscent mindset he's trying to avoid. He also ends the video saying, "It's all about the mindset" repeatedly, but the mindset has evolved past lifting heavy weights into a code of living with gratefulness.
He has been more intense than ever for the last few years, the highlights have just been at his day job (wwe) rather than youtube. Look at the guy, 40+ pounds of mass in just the last 3 years. He's been going HARD. Harder than ever
@@amazin7006he made a video a long time ago that said stay natty
Love to hear your thoughts Professor Buge. For what it's worth, the content that got me into your channel was your coffee talks with juji, and the stuff that keeps me here still is hearing you sit down and think out loud. Looking forward to more of these.
I second this
Love these caffeinated car talks bro. Getting more insight to The Mindset is really cool, and you’re totally right, perspective is Everything. It’s the first step in us manifesting our reality. Anyway, i’m excited to see whatever moves you make next dude
I've been subbed since 30k and have enthusiastically shared so many videos with my friends and family since then, and I still will.
I'm 25 feeling incredibly lost and confused and listening to this very real talk from someone I seriously look up to has made a huge difference in how I feel.
Doing difficult stuff now to avoid making it worse later resonated big time.
Happy to hear about the freedom you're feeling and I'm very excited to see whatever you're up to next!
The succulent stick saying the words “behind the back deadlift” and “Jefferson’s” turning me into a human tripod right now
All joking aside Boogz, your journey, the highs and the lows, I’ve followed and been legitimately inspired by in my life. Thanks for getting back on and staying on the horse, even if the horse is your own hagen horse-powered hamstrings!

Inspirational. Seriously.
I really appreciate the candor here. I’m at a precipice of my own where I’ve decided to take a risk and make a huge career change from a comfortable software job.
I worry everyday that I made the wrong decision, but I know I’m following my heart. Even still, the fear of failure is crippling at times, but I just have to keep at it.
Listening to you reflect on what you might consider “failures” felt incredibly validating. Knowing these struggles are common fills me with the feeling that all this is worth it, and I’ll come out the other end of things stronger for it.
Just started following your channel about a year ago, and I've never really gained any muscle in my 30 yrs. Your first recent "real car talk" type video inspired me to get frickin DENSE bro.. I just bought a bunch of steel, and I'm welding up a rack I can squat and bench off of. I the inspiration man, I'll be here for the videos. 🤙
I just see a dude trying to provide the best life for his family and some of these big changes can seem a little scary but since I’ve been watching you I’ve seen you and mama over come so many damn obstacles. You’re gonna figure this one out too boogz. Just be yourself. I personally think you’re a friggin brain sack of knowledge so share that in the shorts all the stuff you’ve learned over the years and you’re gonna do great. I think the reason why Sam sulek is growing like crazy is because he’s a breathe of fresh air in the UA-cam fitness world, people like him for how real he is. but the truth is boogs you’ve always been that dude! I bet if you took us with you lifting and just talked about all the different things that go on in the mindset than you’ll kill it. You obviously have the charisma and the personality. Regardless of what you choose to do we’re here for you bud. 🤘🏾

sam sulek made videos at the right time. Most of his advice is dubious at best, especially for natty lifters. And even if you were on gear, you wouldn't want to emulate him if you're going for longevity. Hell the dude is 21 and on gear lookin like a monster and out of breath in all his videos.
I have the word "Invictus" tattooed on my wrist because the poem of the same name has one of my favorite lines and is my inspiration.
"It matters not how strait the gate, how charged with punishments, the scroll, I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul."

The caffeine is back, and it’s striated!
Listen Bugez. Jokes and satire aside. You’re a good dude. We’ve all been in the hard spots. And we will all be back in the hard spots. It’s inevitable. It’s life. That’s reality. But the openness of your recent videos is truly relatable and strangely comforting to I imagine a lot of people. Anyway. Just saying. Keep going bro.
I'm halfway through the video and I'm enjoying a lot. It makes me compare to a lot of situations in my life. Thank you Mr. Spontaneity!
Threw this on while I loaded up 30lbs in a backpack for a nice morning RUCK down to the local gasstop for some energy juice. With this on, it went from boring training to 2 miles of pure MINDSET
I resonate with everything you're saying in this video. Regardless of whatever direction you take, I have no doubts that you will continue to inspire everyone watching. You're videos keep me inspired and fired up to workout every day.
This is what I subbed for back in the day. Hearing your perspectives allow me to look more into mine. It’s dope.
I respect the talk bugez because it shows how you really do roll with the punches and get life done. No matter what! Your last car talk I truly loved and you immediately following it up by putting yourself and your content out there shows you meant it!
Voluptuous lobes of glazed Grey matter pumping glorious wisdom to an eager audience.
Eric. The honesty and what you’re saying is very inspiring. You made me think about taking a chance to do what i really wanna do.
God bless you eric, you're a treasure to the lifting community and to people who want to better themselves, you've kept your integrity and we're forever thankful for it!!!
Love your content, there is no need to PR every video. I watch for you, whatever you are doing! How about some guitar videos??
I resonate with everything you state in this video at a level beyond comprehension. Definitely incorporate these longer mindset videos with the short content. Much love brother ❤
Absolutely based and seize the day pilled, you're a legend man

big b just finished up the video and i gotta say it hit home, currently pursuing a degree that i am not the most passionate about (but i do not despise it) the true thing i love is training, but not having a set plan and not knowing what the future holds is something i struggle with since i like having control over my life, but i have realized its alright to change paths and make different moves as you go, so thanks man i appreciate the video
ps: never stop claiming ITS A MINDSET

Youre soul is so pure youve already succeeded in the highest possible way in life Bugez💯💪🏽
Something I recognize I want in life is a greater perspective.
I don't know why, but I suppose I naturally associated that with positive experience.
Currently I'm going through some hardship.
Thank you for making it click that hardship yields perspective as well.
Thank you for strengthening my mindset. Persevere.
Damn Rick, I’m glad you just made the gosh darn video. Thanks for the golden nuggets! 🤙
I really enjoyed this man. Honestly. I think a lot of people need to hear this, especially right now. Your a good dude. Thankful that you put yourself out there, I’ve learned alot over the years.
One thing I love about the BOOGZ is that you don't change with the trends of lifting-based entertainment. Lifting UA-cam today is rife with drama commentators, flashy celebrity gyms, overdone edits with cliche b-roll, and general vanity coupled with negativity. That's why the only lifting UA-camr I watch is Eric, no cookie cutter/johnny bodybuilder bs, just solid videos. KEEP IT UP ERIC
you should watch some others. I watch some for techique and form, and then this to remind myself to go hard and just love the progress and challenge.
You have a great energy about you brother, it doesn't matter what you do next because people will follow.
Sometimes you truly must grab life by the horns and manhandle that thing in your favor, your still the greatest man ✊🙏
In my humble opinion, Eric Bugenhagen is one of the most unique online fitness personalities out there.
You get a unique blend of comedy, action, and raw intensity! As well as some good strength and fitness tid bits here and again.
I don’t necessarily agree with ALL of his lifting methodologies, but he seems to get results.
Having said that, his resistance band, warm-ups for shoulders and traps has saved my joints, a ton of pain and discomfort.
I love his unique approach to the online fitness community that is already oversaturated with the same material.
I do believe Bugenhagen to be one hell of a good coach. He helped me understand that getting strong was more about building a skill set and less about doing endless reps.
Eric Bugenhagen will no doubt, bounce back from all of this and come back strong!
Buges is cool because he prioritises having fun above basically everything else. Plus he's a superhuman lifter. It's the perfect combo for an online character - mad personality and impressive content.
Great video Eric! Keep posting them and we’ll keep watching!
Gr8 perspectives and Insights brother! Thank you for sharing and being so authentic! It serves you and a lot of people in the world 🌎 well!
More of these please. Your inspirational videos connect better because you’re not just regurgitating some carefully crafted BS speech, you’re speaking from experience.
It’s almost as if you’re just thinking aloud to convince yourself, which is authentic. I love how “free flow conscience of the mind” these videos are.
Stick, we love these and want more. Keep being you
incredible boogs, thanks for sharing the mindset
The tidbit floads have been opened, thank you WWE.
This is such a real and down-to-earth video. Keep it up Boogz
Love the vids man. Been following for a few years, keep up the hunger and charisma!
I don't ever comment on much but I worked as an executive director for a behavioral health company and one of patterns I always noticed was clients inability to change or welcome change. Humanity has a fear of it, naturally so because with it comes plethora of challenges and potential adversity but it gave me a lot of perspective on the importance of being open to it. Just like your lifting, you are adaptible and you've taken on different styles over the years to learn a new growth format. It's about applying that same princples to damn near everything we do in life. You're a solid one.
I’m happy you were a WWE superstar temporarily. It sucks it didn’t work out but if you never became a WWE superstar, I probably would have never discovered who you are and I think you are one of the most entertaining dudes I’ve ever seen lol. I’ll always come back to your channel and watch your content man!
I tried gorilla glute press at the end of my bench workout yesterday. I was surprised I couldn’t hit 100kg.Also my shoulder didn’t like that angle before it used to love it. It was all I could do. I guess it’s lack of specialising having something to do with it
Enter a shredz phase, everyone would flock to see the sliced and diced bugez
Mr Spontauity is back hell yeah
Love your Passion Eric. You are an inspiration to many. Lots of ups and downs in life. Stay positive and even bigger and better things coming to you and your family!!
Roll with car talks, tidbits, coffee, lifting and riffs. its all about the tunes!
Awesome video sir! It was not to long of a video. Just as long as it needed to be!. Very motivational.
Enjoyed this. Ive quit a lot of sports/activities I wish I kept with. But I use that lesson that youve gotta just keep going . the ambiguity of not being commited to anything will usually lead to a less satisfying outcome where you still have to deal with a lot of stress anyway.
These 30 mins went by fast. I love the intense vidz, but this is amazing too.
Your thoughts and struggles resonate with so many Mr Boogz, and as long as you are your authentic self the boys will watch anything, no matter the form.
You are definitely the man of specificity and cool lifts. Thats your thing.
Thanks for this brilliant honesty
This video made my workout that much better. Love it.
Love you Eric. You mean a lot to a lot of people.
Rick, you motivate me a lot. Hell today I pulled my back out at the gym. Looking forward to getting more into your thought process on things, mundane or extraordinary, all the same I think we are all here for it. Rock on
I’d like to see the Bugez in the next season of HEELS. Just finished season 2 and it’s fucking excellent. Del Hagen can bring even more excellence to an already excellent excellency.

If you are reading this my friend. I was watching you on youtube way before you were in wwe for your lifting and mindset content. And as a life long pro wrestling fan I said wow this guy would be a star in WWE. So when you signed with WWE I was really exited for you. Then i saw you with Shin playing guitar and getting over and thought holy shit its happening! I dont know if you are done with wrestling but i still believe that you can be at the top of the business.Your personality is perfect to be a top guy. I always wanted to see you ranting promos in the way you rant in your videos. Screaming about mindset etc. Anyway hopefully we see you again in pro wrestling. I dont really follow Aew these days but i would switch it on to see what you doing bro. Maybe in AEW you could be your true self and then make your eay back WWE! Also you are correct. The world is an ever changing place. You must be always ready to change with it so you dont get left behind. Remember mate ITS A MINDSET!!!
Thanks for your support for all these years brother
@@ericbugenhagenOfficial you're welcome mate. I actually made a video on my own channel last year predicting you as the next big star in WWE. Feel free to take a look.
ua-cam.com/video/Py9t3ai5vY8/v-deo.htmlsi=PbkfkWmQVwIdVo4K
Excuse my boring ass voice over.
I'm trying to get a UA-cam thing going and quite got it down yet.
Keep up all your good work dude.
Oof this one hit me good. Thanks for the ramble BBugez
Bugez. You rule. You preached to us about the mindset - THE FOCUS. You have to focus on what you want to do, and always remember that it’s never too late for you to do the shit you want to do. “Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That’s why they call it the present.” You’ve inspired a whole generation🙏❤️
Totally agree. Perspective is fundamental. Obviously you gotta take a decision, decide your next step, once you’ve seen the plethora of perspectives available. And that’s crucial too cause your deciding how to define your future.
Love your work Rick, thank you for all the golden tidbits. Stay healthy!
YK what bugez, I been watching you for so long, and hearing you talk about the passage of time and how things change and so was awesome. Really ties into life even beyond lifting.
This is what i really like. Just sitting there being genuine and just talking and it’s still entertaining. Not trying to be inspiring but just is and attempting to be as real as he can be.
The gods have shined a light upon our chosen disciple
This channel is a damn gem under all the garbage out here.
This video’s summary:
No Easy Way Out
-Robert Tepper
I love how he looks like he's fucking ready no matter what he's talking about... Makes you excited to hear him talk... Like the first time you took too much jack3d back in the day
You’re killing it buddy
Listening to your stories about being sales...you are a good dude.
Love how transparent you are Boogs, lots of love ❤
Bro 100% I just watch to hang out and unwind after a day at work. It's good
I think I'll always find you motivating and succulent in any format. Respect. Keep grinding!
Really glad I watched this video. 2024 is the year I determined to get back to powerlifting. Everything said here is exactly what I needed.
this video was by far the best tid bit youve put out there i would watch these types of videos forever
Bugez this is one of the realest videos I've ever seen. Appreciate you sharing and keep it up. You're the man
I love this style of video, great to listen to while I'm doing other things
Rick, i'm not some bodybuilder or mega fanboy, but I watched this half hour vid.
Because it's good, and intelligent.
Shorts are garbage, people are just getting dumber, basically.
And literally crippling their nervous systems's ability to produce focus extended for more than 30 seconds.
I wish YT provided an option to hide their shorts instead of having them shoved in our faces.
Privileged to be witnessing this transitional pivotal fulcrum of a moment in your life
Man. This is a talk that really clicked with me. Thank you Eric. I needed to hear this.
Love the "talk to the bros"
Great video, thanks for posting, hope you have a blessed day and know Jesus loves yah man
Insane rep prs are just as impressive as maxes imo. The videos comparing your db press pr today vs a few years ago were great.
