CT will forever be engraved in my head when im in the gym. “I command you to grow, im the boss” 😤💪💪💪

[@MrAllmotorB]

Seriously he is amazing

[@CalvinEast]

Made me tear up man, glad CT survived the heart attacks because he has done so much for me and my mentality. Great podcast Brad, God bless you all.

[@goldenwolf8081]

Same. I’ll never forget my older brother coming into my room I think I just woke up this was early 2018. I was 14. he said bro there are wwe superstars are with ct! I was into wrestling *still am* but I was excited. I walked behind him and looked at the big tv we had in our old house and heard/saw the part in the video where they go “it’s me big e from the new day” etc while the intense music used to play introducing them. But at that moment! My life weightlifting wise was about to change forever and I didn’t even know it! Currently to this day I’m 20 and my training has never been better like today in my head when I’m curling I’ll imagine ct yelling curl curl curl!!. And that makes me feel like he’s actually yelling in my ear next to me. Bottom line. Ct is a hero and a motivator best on this planet!.

The CT fletcher era of the fitness industry was single handedly the best era of KZbin fitness.

[@CrazzyCODSkillz]

You gotta be og to know who ct fletcher is but there’s no way he claims natty 🤣🤣

He claimed natty when he was powerlifting but when he started bodybuilding he was open about his steroid use

[@derekwinkler7414]

Love CT Fletcher. I remember seeing him on one of those. Body Builder workout specials. That would come on late early morning time. Then when I found his KZbin channel. Back in like 2009. I thought hold up. This is that dude. I used to see on those body builder shows. It was the voice that was so distinguishable to my ears. I said where do I know this voice from. Accept for the fact he was delivering 4 letter words in this KZbin video.lol This guy should be more famous is what I told my self. Pretty sure it was the strongest man you never heard of video.

[@MarcYanOfficial]

I used to find you kind of cringey but now I realize that it was only because of the crowd you were hanging with. While I don't follow anything else you do social media wise, this pod and the talks you have done with various personalities, I find you have come into your own. I can see the maturity set in. Good on you man! Keep up the grind.

[@hawkd.8047]

Thanks bradley for the OG bodybuilders...let's see lee haney, mr. Glass or the great MIKE O'HEARN

[@cjohnson6264]

It’s time to get some new palm cards to read from Mr Bradley. Every single podcast it’s like you read from the same 4 topics

[@Jhay7031]

Damn I had no idea he was still alive

[@Badbadger91]

I just met ct in-person in prison in Colorado

[@ryanmcemery354]

CT is right! I wrestled in 8th grade but the fist time i was in the gym and saw somebody deadlifting. He had 405 on the bar and he was trying to lift it but couldn't. I said, you can't do that? He said, "You try it. The first time i did a deadlift was 405 at 15 years old. I didn't even know what it meant.

[@billj4525]

Good for you. I have amazing genetics for a natural too. I have always been stronger than everyone too. I'm pretty much more jacked and stronger than almost all the steroid users at my gym too. Definitely better than 95% at least, maybe 100. I don't even like to say my number, as I'm always having to defend my natural status against people I don't know online. People with bad genetics and people who don't lift are completely clueless about what a natural with amazing genetics can achieve. I deadlifted 655 at 18, but I don't deadlift anymore as I'm im not as young as I used to be, but It's mostly because I messed up by back deadlifting. I only squat and bench heavy in terms of the 3 lifts. I work every muscle though, and try to stay strong in everything.

[@pmakmusic]

Please get David Goggins

[@albietzaesthetics1064]

That’s a liver king reasoning for proving his natty status, I wouldn’t win a contest therefore I’m natural 😂come on CT let it go and stop lying your a legend forever no matter the drugs

[@tomgreenlives]

I want to see the dannyduncan69 interview

These youngsters don’t know about the OG fitness influencer before influencer was even a thing

[@Jazzjasey]

Two natty champions

[@cory4710]

I knew what pig iron is and Bradley didn’t 😧

[@shyancole2490]

People like to reflect their guilt on the other people so they don't feel like they're the worst person out there because they know what they've actually done and then been capable of so they can point the finger at someone else and think to themselves well I'm not that bad of a person they want to bring you down to their level or lower instead of picking themselves up it's easier to point out someone else's flaws then to fix your own

I said we need more glitter

[@jonathanholloway4076]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💪🏽🇺🇸

[@billj4525]

Yeah, genetics are everything when it comes to lifting. People vary A TON when it comes to what they can do. I mean a natural won't be able to get on stage with the top steroid guys at all obviously , but a natural with amazing genetics could easily be bigger and stronger than almost all the steroid users at the gym, although that depends on the gym, but most of them for sure. I don't even like to say my size, body fat, and strength level because pretty much everyone online will be saying I'm a steroid user, and while it is a compliment to some degree, I don't want to go back and forth with people I don't know about my natural status, although I may start a channel at some point to show what I can do, if I think I can make some money. People are very uneducated online and think all these little guys are on steroids, and some might be, as size isn't always the determining factor, and it's true many people are juicing these days. That said, people with bad genetics, and people online who don't lift seem to be the most clueless as to what's possible for a natural.

[@six5256]

Why brad so nervous and his voice shaking during the beginning of this so far? Lol Really hope homeboy aint getting caught up in any weird shit or gettin all meffed up..

[@Walkin11335]

Is Bradley natural or nah ?
