Calum's Comeback Documentary

[@CodeHardin]

I don’t believe anyone has shown (on social media) more vulnerability, or been through as much as this guy has in the past couple of years. Before things made a turn for the worse I wasn’t a fan because of things that were posted on the internet. But after seeing how this man has gone through so much, and taken responsibility for it, I can’t help but to root for him. I really hope you find your redemption and happiness!

[@Aussiematee]

Pfft, everyone’s got their own battle, and everyone has struggled over the past few years. Don’t act like his in a pedestal

[@Brunskill4]

One step at a time, proud of you Cal. Great to see Bucked Up supporting Cal through this chapter 👏

[@mehtarm]

What u sympathising with him for ?!? All the bullshit he's done wasn't forced on him , his arrogance brought bout his downfall

[@Brunskill4]

@@mehtarm what do you achieve by that comment? Like generally where is the positive outcome?

[@mehtarm]

@@Brunskill4 ppl like u watch him doing shit , then watch him crying about it , then watch him get better and on n on n on !! He keeps doing shit ul keep giving him views and help him get money , his last daft stunt put him away from action and now he's again making u watch him cry and gather views , wtf is wrong with u lads ?!?

[@matty_isthemotto]

Hah, gayyy

[@Don_Alfonso_Moran]

I think Cal has no idea how many people he has inspired over the years. Despite the rough moments, he's always going to be one of the greatest that ever did it.

[@ElMundoDeSam95]

Yeah he inspired me he is one of my idols

[@cuts240]

I think cal has no idea how he threw “it” all away. Destroyed his life

[@JC45112]

Calum, 9 years ago your video with Miguel Valenzuela was uploaded on youtube. A video I’d never know would create such a huge impact in my life. 16 year old me would watch all your videos after school as a pre workout and hit the gym for hours. Your videos would always bring me a smile and would motivate me to push through the shitty days. I’d like to say thank you for being muscular and for being an inspiration to me. God knows why he puts us through these challenges in our lives. At the time they may not make sense but it’ll all come together like a puzzle in the end. I wish you the best and for you to receive many blessings. There isn’t a challenge that you can’t overcome, Calum.

[@ThatsSoAlpha]

So happy this guys one of my biggest motivations of all time

[@yoshigoify]

Praying for your comeback Calum, you helped us, motivated us through all those years and we really appreciate you for everything you've done for the bodybuilding community. It's your time now, may god bless you and guide you in this new journey you're about to go through ❤️

[@kelebert7795]

Mental health matters! Calum is a huge inspiration to keep finding the light 🫶🏻

[@rdotmitchell]

Yes sir

[@sirKhO]

One of the realest in the industry. Believe it or not you'll always be a champion Cal. I'm 33 in July, you inspired me in the gym and as I go through my own journey of bettering my mental health and discovering who I am.. you're inspiring me again. The pandemic was hard on a lot of people's mental. Never give up.

[@lukejones5825]

Poor guy has had a real humbling from life in recent years. Been following since the original bicep tear with Cbum & before. Rooting for you Cal.

[@MODELBODYINTL]

I’ve met him at Equinox and just remember he was so nice, humble, and authentic. We are rooting hard for him ❤️.

[@Kurio71]

Rooting is slang for fvck in Oz

[@olliejamescave2882]

The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggle against adversity. Keep going Calum, we’re all here.

[@hmoney503]

He's a drug addict and a clown. Yeah a real great man. Such a role model. Give me a break.

[@Thebravemovement]

Incredibly inspiring story and I did not miss that he mentioned his FAITH was the first thing he would tell his younger self to focus on. Amen brother. I pray that you never stray away from the Way, the Truth and the Life again.

[@josefrodrigez5936]

Amen amen

[@OmniscientIgnorance]

Yoda is our lord and saviour. May the force be with you.

[@benchprestige8174]

This man is the whole reason I stuck with training and actually wanted to LEARN it. Study the craft. I really hope he gets it together and focuses on his health, both physically and mentally. Great documentary 👍

[@kerpal321]

lol, this was the guy ?

[@hmoney503]

You admired a drug addict and thought this guy was a good role model? Wow.

[@benchprestige8174]

​@@kerpal321 keep in mind how young I was when I would watch his videos 😂 i thought that was achievable at like 19

[@Gecko7]

Calum is the definition of: The kindest man gets challenged the hardest.. glad to see a smile on his face again.

[@cskrilla1]

This is an awesome comeback story, props to bucked up for taking a chance and giving Calum a chance to redeem himself

[@Trollsky]

I am following that guy for a few years, my heart is growing seeing that he is rising up. He suffers and recieved a lot of pain but still he didint gave up.

[@Ellithor1996]

It’s admirable that Calum is still moving forward through all his adversities and struggles, he probably inspired a whole generation to better themselves, it’s been hard watching someone who inspired you go down hill live on the internet and nothing anyone could do, it feels like the storm has passed, looks like Calum is doing good, his thoughts and perspective on his life are accurate, future is looking good

[@chesterkapsch5731]

This is why I won’t go with any other supplement company but Bucked Up! Calum has been my idol from the very beginning. And the fact that Bucked Up is helping and guiding Cal to be the best he can be, means the world to me and everyone else that loves this man! Bucked Up for life! ❤

[@PhysiqueFuel]

He seems like a good genuine guy. I wish him the best

[@arsevela33]

One of the best physiques the world ever got to see. A shame we didn’t get to see it at it’s true peak. Godspeed Calumn. Stay strong.

[@Dean.martin.93]

This guy deserves so much, setback after setback, come back after comeback. I wish the absolute best for this guy ❤

[@elliegardner433]

this is actually a fire interview! Its so crazy to see where he started

[@Whelchey]

If there is one Calum fan left itll be me. Followed and watched this man for over a decade now. Hes incredible and will always be one of my favorites.

[@bykrydr1380]

though we have never met, I have followed along with you through the years, and proud to watch you recovering. Very inspirational. Bucked Up should (as Im sure they are) proud to have you on board representing their brand. I believe you bring a whole new meaning and purpose to their brand. Yes, even after all the darkness. The darkness makes these bright times so much brighter and special.

[@paddyjohnson8631]

Gosh this was emotional to watch! Amazing though and blessed to have you back brother

[@actionmansingh]

Love this documentary… started following. Always admired you Calum, always rooted for you and have been there through all the ups and downs with you mate. Great to see you looking well and full of spirit. ❤

[@gregorygregory6347]

You’re alive. Time to be grateful

[@Fernand00T]

Bucked Up is getting my support for backing up Calum Von Moger and BKFC!! Real recognize real!!! About to shop some suplements u guys are 4 real 💪🏻

[@jonathanhaynes5365]

You're an inspiration. Everyone fails, but not everyone picks themselves back up. We're all behind you mate💪

[@DylanFrom313]

Never doubted or gave up on this guy.... not once. He is the reason I started training again and learned so many tips and tricks from his videos. I lived vicariously through him for years on youtube. rooting for you CVM!

[@sergiopietri5370]

Imagine if Calum did another mad desire film with the same videographer and it marked the beginning of a new start for him. Would be epic.

[@robertgipson2591]

YEESSSS! Calum!!! I have been waiting to hear from you again! God the Father has blessed you, sir, by bringing you through so much. You have always been an inspiration and always will be, but now, you are even a legend - an example to all of us that by the will and grace of God we can overcome anything. Please keep us updated with your journey. No matter where it takes you, always remember how blessed you are. I hope Bucked Up knows how fortunate they are to have you abaord. CALUM FOREVER🙌🏽👌🏽🙏🏽

[@karlarkwright4510]

Watched you from the very beginning it was so hard to see you slipping down that path as I have also had a lot of setbacks since lockdown but it’s brilliant to see you back on the right path now and can’t wait to see you thriving again, no one has ever motivated and inspired me half as much as you have on my fitness journey plz stay strong brother

[@mccian910]

I hope you can do a Part 2 Update. Calum is what got me started. I remember that Mad Desire video. I didn't know anything about bodybuilding. Now I'm doing my first show 9 years later after that video in August. Calum still has a reach to his a audience still and I'm glad Bucked Up is giving him that

[@robertpotter1808]

I am extremely proud of calum and his comeback is extremely encouraging. I needed this video today bc I've been trying to get back on track myself and this was that little push I needed. Would love to meet calum and have a sit down and talk with him one day. "Through great suffering comes salvation" 💪

[@glamourdarling]

his hardships and growth has inspired most of us more than his accomplishments ever have. hes a true champion at heart in so many ways and im so proud to see how far he has come.

[@TheWWWJR]

The bb community needs him. Even if he doesn’t compete,just being an ambassador for mental health in the bb community is huge. Most of us in the community are damaged in some way, that’s how we found the gym. Excited to see what he can do. God bless✝️

[@kerpal321]

not really, i dont need him at all

[@huemann7637]

I don’t really need him. I just need Poland to keep cranking out good gear. Lol

[@lh1377]

My heart goes out to you Cal. I've followed your journey the past 10 years, through my own tough times, ups and downs, self discovery, which are still ongoing. Life's a funny thing and happiness can be so different to fun and yeah, tough to navigate. Thanks for being honest and real, sharing with us you. Can't help but see how genuine you are, and your story, it gives me so much to reflect on. I'm a fellow brother in Aus, Vic, and I hope to one day meet you, chat with you haha. Super grateful a company like bucked up, who obviously have a heart themselves, are supporting ya and giving you the platform and push you need, and I'll support them because of that. No matter what though mate, Aus always has your back ;-) So don't be a stranger!

[@FinancialFreedomLifestyle]

This was great to see from Calum and the Bucked Up Team. I think this collab will help those going through there personal challenges as well as inspire millions around the globe.

[@mtank5853]

Fantastic video! To the people behind Bucked Up, thank you and bless your company and partnership with CVM. And Cal, God bless you and your journey, many prayers for you! " Catch ya later"

[@jerryyoung6561]

Keep your head up Calum. You are blessed. Your always in my prayers brother. 🙏 And thank you bucked up, for giving Calum a chance. What a great company. Much. Love.

[@maxbaptiste544]

Thank you for doing this interview/ documentary a lot of us need this for our personal struggles!

[@Homefreeliving]

Much love Calum. Much love Buck Up. Much love to all. I have followed bodybuilding since I was young. My Dad competed as an amateur and now I am going to do my first natural show. Depression and self confidence issues are a real thing, hiding it and hiding our weakness is so real as well. Stay Blessed all an don’t hold it in! Let it out to the world. Love on! Live on!

[@RyanHough0]

God gave you a gift.. one most mere mortals will never posses. I'm so glad you have pushed on through the darkest hours of your life. You are a true inspiration to people. Never let that gift go to waste Calum. Your story brings tears to my eyes... and a smile at the same time. Hang in there.

[@nomad_3373]

The comeback king! Cal, I’ve been a fan of yours since day 1, and the thing I admire the most about you is, that no matter how many times you fall, you get back up and you continue the fight. In a sense, I see myself in you, because I’ve fallen many times before, and I get back up and never look back. God is great brother, continue to live in Christ and don’t look back unless it’s to give yourself props for all you’ve overcome.

[@kevinfisher3663]

Way to go Calum you are an inspiration for all, I am a recovering Heroin addict I've been clean and sober for 17 month's so keep up the AWESOME job you are doing!!!!! I will be praying for you my friend and I will keep following your journey I am super excited for you since you got involved with BUCKED UP!!!! I will check them out and see what all they are doing So glad you found sum good friend's in them!!!!!

[@ericjohnson6485]

Not sure Cal would ever see it the comments, but this is great. Its such a sad story but also a great opportunity for redemption. Hope Cal gets back to who he wants to be and finds himself. Dap to Bucked Up for standing with Cal and helping to share his journey. Excited to see what's next.

[@rodneyspears4308]

Not a Calum fan, never have been. But my hats off to anyone that comes back from the darkness. It goes to show and hopefully inspire anyone who is really struggling and to anyone who think they can't get out and get better, that they can do it. Get help, and take it one step at a time. If you fall down, no matter what, get back up. Keep on going.

[@JamesEdgeX]

Calum has helped me so much with my confidence, both in the gym and out, and if it wasn't for him I wouldn't have been into training as much as I am today. I used to watch Mad Desire and all the old training videos with THMPSN, Bradley, McGrath etc before gym sessions - some of these sessions were the best in my life so far. We all suffer set backs, and Calum I am rooting for you so hard brother. Keep fighting and I really hope I can meet you one day!

[@paulmccleary]

You’re the man Calum. You got this. Been watching you since the beginning, standing with you in prayer brother

[@MrCsteele31]

Absolutely love Cal, he's been a role model of mine in fitness and health. Following his story and being grateful for him sharing his life. I understand the weight he had on his shoulders. It can cause some major mental health turmoil. Much respect Cal, I'm glad you are back and following YOUR path. Thank you for your my friend!

[@toddclarke2348]

Spoken like a true champ. No holds barred straight up truth and we respect you for your honesty and courage to go through the adversities of life. Wishing you all the best with your new path. May it bring you happiness and good fortune.

[@tommysparacino156]

Calum inspired a generation. Nobody can take that away from him or his successes. Everybody fails in life and faces setbacks. Shows his true character for being able to overcome his obstacles and coming out on top. 🐐

[@brandonweinmann5700]

This makes me so happy. Miss seeing Calum in the mix. Always rooting for ya

[@K.T-]

You got this and God got you'- keep moving forward Don't look back, live by faith not by sight.. Your doing great! Love and blessing😊

[@MONTIG3]

Never gave up on you Cal, thank you for being here and sharing your story. You are an inspiration. 💪

[@Nugzz187]

Great to see you back pal, you are a true legend brother! Keep digging deep everyday

[@jbm8095]

Your story really spoke to me. I just started my first workout this week since my Motorcycle accident. Nine surgeries, almost three months in bed, the surgeon’s were amazing, keeping my foot attached. I put on 50 plus pounds I don’t need and to say I was in a dark place is a understatement ( I’m still fighting the dark) but, I have to say I love that you came through and made it to the other side gives me hope

[@matthewazar3005]

I've always been a fan of Calum Von Moger the bodybuilder, but today I'm a fan of Calum Von Moger the man.. the best is yet to come for you brother

[@nerdynoa]

Cal idk if you’ll read this, I was going thru some sort of depression while I was in college away from home. I had never taken the gym seriously up until 2017 when I decided to join a frat to make friends since I was a loner. I met some decent pple but the biggest gift I received by pledging was opening KZbin one day and looking at videos of your pop up for me when I wanted to get into the gym for the first time. I rememeber it so well, I was budgeting my meals and supplements with the bare minimum but I’d be lying if I didn’t say you changed my life from then onward. You became my physique goals and I am still inspired by you till this day. Thank you for still putting time to give us your story, I wish to meet you one day if God permits. Thank you for saving me and for being there when I needed someone to motivate me. Thank you for being muscular!

[@zteam_performance]

"Had to touch the darkness just to see how much you needed the light". That right there just helped me so much understand this chapter in my life and gave me some clarity from my rage of disappointment and let down so much I can't explain of hurt betrayed and quiting on myself. That saying just restored my life again.. that's the answer I been needing. Thanks

[@firebird196771]

So glad you got threw the difficult part of your life, inspirational story. Stay focused on your journey and new beginning brother. Nothing but love for you.

[@XDB888]

I have no doubt the overall global interest in Classic division gained alot of traction off this mans online success at the time. Authentic, charismatic and a total iron beast when completely focused and still enjoying the process without distaction. Aesthically, the total package that even drew comparisons with Arnold due to insane gentics and charm (Dino has arms but..thats not a tricep, this is a tricep). The infectious energy of Koala freak mania at its height was definelty the start of my fitness journey, and despite all the setbacks and personal adversity youve faced, you continue to inspire, your a true champion mate

[@AndredeWit-cu8nb]

Right now you are so much more than a Pro Bodybuilder. You are an You Tube icon that reaches much more people than you could ever do! As an realtime Hero you will have a hudge impact witch Bucked Up hoped and dreamed for. But for most they believed in you just like your fans. Love to see you BACK! Greatings from Holland

[@Stuartjarvis]

The comeback of a lifetime im so proud to be an ozzy you got this brother

[@MarxAA]

So pumped for multiple reasons. Calum is one of the first and only influencers who I genuinely loved watching! He’s so genuine and fun hearted. I can’t wait to watch him regain his life. And it’s so awesome that Bucked Up has chosen to jump on his side and be a part of that because I’ve loved this brand for so many years now! Win win! 🔥🙌🏼

I really hope Callum finds a great positive path he seems like a great guy. I’ll pray for you Callum.

[@Irvlifts]

so much love for this guy, hoping for his success

[@brumak2189]

Through my teen years, Calum has inspired me to pursue my own fitness journey and now as a young adult, I can truly say he's been one of my biggest motivators to always keep pushing in anything I'm doing, be that the gym, socially or my uni studies. I can't wait to see where Calum goes from here and how he will continue to be a great ambassador for the fitness community

[@tpp4007]

This is great! Stay clean and stay healthy Calum! You have a lot of people looking up for you as a role model. Stay injury free!

[@christiansmith6131]

Glad you’re back my guy we’ve missed you

[@thetruebatman4632]

Calum you’ve had many titles: bodybuilder, actor, influencer, etc. But we all have to run into these brick walls from time to time to be reminded of the one title that we all bear: HUMAN. You’ve motivated this human for years, but this is definitely you at your best. Thanks for sharing your story.

[@robertkamminga4354]

man this guy has had a hell of a life. I was skeptical about his comeback because in his vids he didn't seem genuine or accountable. But this mini doc reminded me of unbroken where he was just humbled and so well spoken. Love to see him like this and I hope he finds even more success in whatever he puts his mind to. Without the setbacks we all know he could've been 4x mr olympia AS MUCH as i love Cbum. Would have been great to see those 2 battle it out but oh well. Good luck Calum

[@kingofthorns203]

It’s nuts his initial bicep injury that got all his tragedies rolling was with Cbum. How their paths diverged from that moment

[@brandonmaiorino3065]

this dude has been through hell and back, i started watching him in 2015 back when i was 18 and hes the reason i wanted to get bigger, he has the best look in bodybuilding history
