CT Fletcher As You've Never Seen Him Before!

[@MulliganBrothers]

“This is what we do Bulo! You ain’t no motha fu*kin ice skater… you ain’t no tennis player… we lift weight God damn it!”

[@romans828.]

C.T. You may never see this but I appreciate what you have been through. I am 60 yrs old and have been lifting weights since 1966. I was never a powerlifter because I didn't give a rats arse about anything but bench press and TKD! At 30 in 1986 I was benching 550 raw and working towards what was eventually my 4th degree black belt in TKD. I have survived motorcycle wrecks resulting in triceps torn in half. Broken forearm in half torn both rotators cuffs in half and broke my left knee cap. As soon as possible I was back in the gym, way before my Dr released me. In 2005 I had a mild heart attack resulting in 4 stents to open my right artery. Five years later I had another and this time 5 stents were put in my left descending artery ( widow maker). I am recovering from a serious shoulder injury and just two months ago could not bench the bar. Now I'm up to 235. You are my inspiration, thank you!!

[@tachee77910]

legeng hope u still killing it out there

[@bostonbeard7305]

Robert Combs HEY Rob I like your views amd can relate, follow ans sub me im posting some great things

[@Serious-zs6qy]

Bob Bob if you wanna get a chance to talk to CT Fletcher just join his channel he hands a hella of a trainer too that you can reach him at too his name is Mike Risid

[@bruzalind]

Good on you Silent Mike for restarting the conversation about CT's cousin after you finished strapping Mark in. Shows you were interested in what he was saying, and so was I

[@OmarIsuf]

This is a great video. A lot of real content. Chris Bell knows how to shoot awesome content. Mark is funny, CT looking yoked and Mike is silent as a fart.

[@deniz9127]

He said fart ahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahaha

[@FDPowerLifter]

OmarIsuf Mike is mesmerized lol.

[@ChasingAfterYHWH]

FD PowerLifter lol hes mirin

[@TrillionsYes]

FD PowerLifter How long have you been deadlifting ?

[@matthewsiami]

OmarIsuf "sometimes when you fart, it sounds like your butt is saying something" - Mark Bell

[@RamblinAround]

Man, that was a great interview. CT Fletcher is a hell of a guy.

[@waynelovell1958]

Back in 2009 I had a tumour on my pancreas. I had an 8 hour operation. Off work for 6 months, lost nearly two stone. I hated looking at the stick man I'd become from a liquid only diet. Mentally I lost it sometimes, the road to recovery was long and hard. Even carrying shopping I would have to lay down completely exhausted. Gradually the strength comes back, you think it won't but it does. When you've lost weight and definition the frustration gets you mad but also hungry to get back in the gym. One year later Weight back on and working out again. Lifting iron gives you something no other sport can. When your at your lowest physically and mentally it's a slow tough road, but with self belief and strong mind, it can be done. Respect to you CT

[@G36Jeff]

Respect. I've also learned not to sweat the small stuff and appreciate what you have. We all tend to lose sight of what is important. Family friends loved ones. I feel sorry for myself a lot. And I need to quit. I'm not special. And fuck excuses. Fuck pitty. CT taught me that.

[@matthewmcgee6874]

I have yuuuuu

[@donaldsavage3699]

CT is the man of Steel!!! you will always be in my prayers brother get well soon...

[@flames1000000]

56 and that physique? He looks freaking amazing for his age.

[@wm0104]

He looks amazing for any age

[@IntelInside2020]

And multiple open heart surgeries.

[@AlexLeonidas]

This was really awesome to watch

[@missmaomi28]

Very few videos I’ve watched all the way though, this was AWESOME

[@ImJarlen]

I never really liked CT, but this "version" of him appeals a lot more to me. Very nice video

[@supertraining06]

I wanted to show the real side of CT

[@ImJarlen]

supertraining06 You sure accomplished that - I have a lot more respect for CT now

[@themusic6808]

A lot of his earliest stuff on KZbin was pretty vulgar lol but that's what got him the attention

[@SweatMusicProduction]

Cameron Hawes No "but" was needed, because there's nothing wrong with it.

[@pseudovitamin6650]

ImJarlen you must be a sensitive ass nigga.

[@gerhardschelbi2302]

much respect 4 CT!

[@NickWright]

Awesomeness.

[@MRxROID]

chrishaz1122 lol why does this dude get so much hate hahahaha

[@chrishaz1122]

MRxROID we met him at a gym i work at and he was a very cocky full of himself tool

[@69flees]

MRxROID People hate winners. Haters gonna hate. lol

[@EGGJAZZ]

***** whats he ever won at though?

[@69flees]

.

[@goklie]

This video is pure gold! CT is a huge inspiration! Thank you Mike for gettin this life story out of CT. Great Great video!

[@cloutzaphonestreview2555]

He said s a great guy. I am inspired by his videos. I hope to get 22!Inch arms lol

[@VoiceOfMMA]

Mark you and CT the reason why I work hard at the gym! Thanks for everything sir!

[@beyondlimitsproductions1468]

Truly, the most inspiring Workout motivator on KZbin! CT Fletcher...spokesman for the middle aged workout enthusiast.

[@nickhubert3804]

Never knew this about CT. Large amounts of respect for the man and he looks great for 56. Sweet gym too!

[@mrdporter33]

CT.... You will probably never read this. But I GUARANTEE YOU, I will meet you one day SOON. I remember you saying on another video that your dad was a preacher. I think you're the same. Your gym is your church and you are the pastor. Preach on CT. SPREAD THE GOSPEL OF THE IRON!!!!

[@hadialsharaf]

First time a ever watched a whole hour vid on youtube, just couldn't get enough, well done guys

[@619STREETCA]

I have grown a great level of respect for Mr CT Fletcher. salute big brother.

[@BrandonConceicao]

The title says it all. I thhought no way im watching this whole thing, but man I couldnt stop watching. Truly an amazing video and story. Nice work

[@thehartleyproject675]

I am 35 years old and have had 2 open heart surgeries. I was born with a birth defect. I refuse to quit. I will not make excuses. I train every day and still compete. Train hard so when life gets tough you will be strong enough to get through it. Respect.

[@61pwcc]

Look at Mark just about giggling as CT talks about Powerlifting and getting psyched. He and CT have walked down the same path of getting up over 300lb bwt and putting it all on the line. Great to see two old Iron War Horses telling war stories. Thanks Mark & CT!!

[@MichaelCowann]

Awesome message from Ct keeping it real

[@DeniBodybuilding]

i just gained a lot of respect for ct from this video, showed a different side of him, awesome video as always, you guys deserve to be on espn or something with these long interview type videos, the quality and content is unlike any other

[@Tashir90]

Silent mikes face when CT is talking about his dad is priceless

[@SitarHero70]

Silent Mike's perplexed/shocked/in depth listening face is hilarious hahahahhahaha

[@MaxKing]

One of the best interviews on fitness ever!Ct Fletcher is the Man ....When he is talking about his meets is so f*cking inspiring..

[@johnndamascene]

You guys are absolutely killing it with these videos!

[@Bigbangboy32175]

This is what's real. gotta love CT.

[@kuchenstyler]

Im really really happy that your channel took off like that. I was under your first 150 subscribers and always wished for you to reach more and more people with that awesome content.

[@Edjonesdagreat]

I'm no where near what these guys are doing but i believe everyone should watch this. AWESOME and thanks for the motivation!

[@mikeclip]

CT does say a lot of things about not being average but good for you Mark for hearing him kinda say that was his quote and joking around with it. But we all know whos quote that is. RIP Maddog

[@badsolja1]

I can’t believe this video already 5 years old man time flys

[@welblack]

The passion in his eye everytime they talk about powerlifting.

[@Buckdodgers]

CT always does awesome interviews. I can watch them over and over.

[@muhammadabdulla2898]

Ffs I have an exam tomorrow and now I have to watch this. Lol

[@FadilKarim]

I have a test today and I'm watching it:D

[@nickg15]

Muhammad Abdulla hahah same here!

[@abublahinocuckbloho4539]

Muhammad Abdulla in all seriousness, this video was still up after your exam right? exams don't come around all that too often, get that stuff done by being prepared and prioritizing it first, this video going aint anywhere anytime soon.

[@muhammadabdulla2898]

EveryoneNeeds Pie cause revision is boring. I'm done with them now anyway

[@SeviRosis]

i have exams but i dont feel like studying ^_^

[@BMB57]

These two really have changed my life, as well as Silent Mike and Jim too. The whole video was great and the end "this isn't an exercise, it's a movement". Put that on a shirt! Id buy it! Great video once again.

[@MCCABEWORLD]

CT Fletcher is 56 years!?? WTF! Still more a BEAST as a 25 years old pumper!

[@shrimp299]

This video is awesome. Honestly, anyone who can just talk about their selves without boasting and talking about how great they are, that's amazing. he talks about the experiences he's had and the things he's been through to get where hes at. When you do that, you put yourself in a position where people can relate. That's more important than just telling people how successful you are. Anyone can talk about their success, but not many can just simply talk about their experiences and let the people know where they were and were they came from and where they are now.. hes a real dude who made it from hard work, dedication, and motivation. Nowadays everyone wants someone to motivate them and make them do something. This man did it on his own because he had a passion and shows if you are passionate about something, go for it and never to forget your roots. stay humble. RESPECT TO YOU CT Fletcher! Thanks for sharing your story!!

[@idahoryan23]

Fantastic. I love CT Fletcher. He's very funny and then throws in some seriously profound heavy shit right into the middle of it.

[@Jamesbsingleton]

The quality and content in these videos are second to none as usual but the real thing that separates this video from most is the level of respect shown towards each other. The lifting community needs more of that. Keep up the great videos guys, really inspiring !

[@MRDESTRUCTION26]

I Dont usually care for body builders but let me tell you,i just found this guys channel and this is my 2nd video on a saturday morning watching his shit,is comparable to being high listening to bob marley or 2pac,or chilling outside on a warm summer day. he has substance and a good spirit and i can listen to him and his guest talk for hours. Great convo,i feel like its made me think and be a better person before i walk out the door into the world.

[@AguilaMexicana88]

People that have done their time and proved themselves like CT Fletcher and Mark Bell is very inspiring. Ive been workingout since i was 13 because I was always the chubby/fat kid growing up. I didnt have highspeed internet Or training partners let alone afford to go to the gym back then. Now that im 27 im definitely more fit and relatively strong but I wish I had access to you tube much sooner because i could have learned so much more and I am learning more everyday now because of people like Mark Bell and CT Fletcher and many others. Thank you guys for inspiring us the way you do. I have realistic views, I'll never be as jacked and tan but I have much love for the sport of weightlifting and breaking through my limits each and every day.

[@hardkrow]

"He was doing movie kicks... in a real fuckin fight." "Thank You Billy Blanks." THIS IS PRICELESS.

[@dazious2988]

Possibly the most inspiring video on KZbin. Thanks.

[@BrettGibbs]

That was fucken epic !!! Guys are inspirational as they come

[@willthomas3556]

Probably the best fitness video I've EVER seen! At 55 I needed this more than you know...........

[@DieselSC]

Great video and great interview.

[@hostarius4141]

Enlightening video, great stuff.

[@jessecruz9674]

That awkward moment when ct said he felt like a skeleton walking out of the operation at 190 lbs... ...mike is 190 lbs...

[@tajuansutton2496]

@Slawsers 190 isn’t too bad at 5’11. I’m 5’11.5 and I only weigh 136ish. Luckily I’m 16 so my “grown man weight” hasn’t got to me yet.

[@MattGarwood777]

Just sent this video to my dad. Just had some heart trouble and he needs to get a fire lit under him with his fitness. Halfway into this I realized this is the story he needed to hear. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, super training crew and CT.

[@NickWright]

48:00 amen.

[@massivemikeh]

Arguably one of the best videos on youtube...well done Mark and Mike!! CT at his best folks!!

[@hermanmelville3871]

When you get past the shock of the profanity you discover that CT has an incredibly positive attitude.

[@Eagles.Fan.Since.Super.Bowl.52]

This is possibly the best video I have seen on the internet in the past 20 years.

[@cena001productions]

That 1 hour went by quick, class video

[@chrisminor8657]

CT your story and you as a person are so inspirational. Like the previous comment I've been watching a lot of KZbin videos for inspiration as I've recently started lifting again only a couple months ago after taking off for roughly 10 years. A lot of it was getting redundant until I came across your channel the other day and now its all I have been watching. I can tell you that by you sharing your struggle it has helped inspire me a lot. I've also had health problems that have set me back and neuropathy in my legs that took me out of work for 1 1/2 years that was supposed to get progressively worse for the rest of my life. After cleaning up a few poor health habits and quitting drinking my neuropathy is pretty much non existent and I do not think it will be a hinderence to my training goals. Please keep putting out these kick ass videos. One of my favorite motto's is "Everybody wants to be a beast until its time to do what a beast do". You truly are a beast and it seems to me that you live doing what beasts do. I really didn't think I would ever get back into lifting weights again but feel so much better now that I am and I am becoming obssessed with it again and lovin it. Thank you for reminding me that after all of these years IT'S STILL MY MOTHA FUCKIN SET!!!

[@TheOleGrol]

Amazing and really funny video but im just waiting for the next powercast with Eric Spoto

[@michaelmonteiro4803]

This video changed my opinion on CT Fletcher entirely. I got so much motivation from this video, this content is great.

[@leeroy110]

Man, this just completely reversed my opinion. This guy is a legend! 56! 3 flatlines a set..

[@ET3Roberts]

I am a BIG FAN of CT Fletcher! NO ONE on planet Earth motivates me like he does.

[@TEGGYKSeries]

isnt the white guy with black tshirt in some documentary on netflix i think its call big strongest fastest or something like that

[@KingNicholls95]

Idiot

[@tehunexspected]

Yeah he's a world renown power lifter and you tuber who has made documentaries with his brother Chris

[@Shadowboxe]

Yeah, him and his two brothers. The Bell brothers. Bigger Faster Stronger.

[@chrisbell8418]

josh nicholls Hey bud...not every one knows who we are yet...but they soon will!

[@kevinonearth6559]

By far one of the best interviews with CT I've ever seen....Great job!

[@heineken6120]

this guy is so fucking cool!!

[@pavener]

This video was needed! I feel like you capture the casual side of CT. Amazing. Everybody wanna talk shit, watch this video!!

[@tomek84pietowski93]

Whats the intro music from guys?

[@supertraining06]

Tomek84 Pietowski Pond5.com...Chris Bell here...they have some insane stock footage, music, etc that you can pay for and use for whatever you want once you license it. I've used this site on all of my films too.

[@MrChipsXT]

[@rickdonnette4573]

[@brandonball5971]

[@jondoc7525]

+brandon ball just proof how old u look on the outside aint how old u r in the inside...if only we had technology that showed full health

[@allexfenty]

+Billy Diaz He dyes his facial hair. Look at photos of him online.

[@consulmollard]

One of the best videos I have watched in awhile on You Tube!!

[@FDPowerLifter]

Great fuckin video!

[@ramsiffle]

Mark I'm glad you're posting content like this to KZbin. It seems as if everyone is posting the same content with the same people doing the same things. Your stuff is completely different with guests that most have never heard of or seen on KZbin. Hats off to you sir, you're doing a damn good job.

[@carterrourke5786]

At 37:20 when CT's talking about his dad, Mike just looks mortified as fuck.

[@sund5]

He often does that. Quite funny. But I quess it just how he looks when he is paying attention :-)

[@HoerigStrength]

Awesome video. The first gym I lifted at back in the 90s was filled with those exact blue Nautilus machines. Oh the memories...

[@juanleon5518]

who the fuck would thumbs this down???!!!!!

[@michaeldonaldalker73]

Much love for ya, CT Fletcher . Your life's story is an inspiration for many.

[@BeardedForever]

I heard 854 bench press. I need hearing aids.

[@JohnAbuklau]

It was in geared division

[@brunoskevin8304]

Sweat Music it is very impressive but it is explains why it is 854.

[@SweatMusicProduction]

[@SMORGET]

i like when mark asks about foam rolling and ct completely misses the point

[@BarryMacokner94]

Lol mark hates foam rollers

[@bernieorbust6104]

daniel demello why? foam rolling is love. foam rolling is life

[@brandonball5971]

i hate this game foam rolling is bullshit. I do dynamic warming up

[@BarryMacokner94]

brandon ball same , ill do air squats with pauses , and with a band shit like that fuck foam rollers let the crossfitters use that crap haha

[@skornd713]

One of the best video interviews....EVER!

[@ChosenOne43]

It'd probably be too dangerous to make a CT Fletcher "Fuck" drinking game

[@justinrosenberg68]

This was an amazing piece of footage. CT is incredible. Thank you

[@GainsHimself]

6:46 COMPLETELY cuts CT off lmao

[@mooonshineee]

You continue to put out the best content in the fitness communities! These collabs are killing it!!

[@taenyftw]

ct is 56...shit. I hope I'd be that jacked at that age

[@justeatingchipsandwatching]

CT never fails to impress. Legend.

[@CiminoJuan]

The only thing that makes me dislike CT is the fact he lies about hes drug use... He claims to be drug free yet he benches almost the same as Spoto.

[@weave4181]

Juan Andres Sponsors dont like drug talk. Hes sponsored by Isatori and used to be with MusclePharm.

[@darsenringling]

Juan Andres He has sponsors. People pay him money who would most likely influence his decision. So let's say he works 30 years to make a career in lifting and finally got a big spot at isatori with a big paycheck and a way to make his name a legend and all he has to do is avoid telling people he's on drugs. The only people who can be open about it and get away with it own their own companies (mark bell or marc lobiner) and don't have to worry about being fired and losing everything they worked for. And it's not even the athletes fault these days, supplement companies are bullies about this stuff. Bostin Loyd came out with his stack and became untouchable and lost all chances at being sponsored.

[@bmere8282]

Juan Andres yea and who really cares we all know anyway isn't that good enough some people just don't like to talk about you should know that if your in the game at all

[@CiminoJuan]

Theres people that truly belive he is natural and I can see them being affected in one way or another. And no I dont care he uses steroids but I do care about the fact he lies about it, he should just avoid the subject altogether.

[@weave4181]

Let the stupid be stupid, they'll grow up, hell, I one day thought Ronnie was natty.

[@mikebrown60]

CT you are a warrior! Thank you for the positive energy and advice.

[@Jkyle48]

Lol silent Mike has the most fucked up facial expressions

[@joshuawaltz9484]

[@williamshaw120]

Awesome video! Great interview/questions by Mark Bell. I enjoyed hearing about CT Fletchers past and his home life growing up. He is a very interesting character.

[@mastert4303]

ct fletcher is so humble what a great guy would like to meet him some day but ill probably not get the chance, good to see him still doing what he loves , respect

[@DimaShinder]

Beautiful, thank you Mark for making this happen

[@mannyprays1164]

This video inspires me so much. I love watching it!!!!! Thanks mark, mike, and ct!!!

[@Sagis615]
