The 2nd installment of my celebrity workout tape feat. the Brad Pitt physique.
(Tom Cruise) • HOW TO RUN LIKE TOM CR...
brief look at my sexual history and what made me work out as a result (while lifting)
A lot of people think I deliberately try hard to act weird and different for attention. Well I like attention (bet you do too) so I won't deny that part.
But if you watched my last video: • Frank Yang - Asian-Ame...
You can pretty much tell that I've been fucked in the head all my life and there is no way I had the concept of trying to be a hipster at age 5 or 11?
You think I sit in the dark just think up weird thoughts on purpose? Those thoughts intrusively just pop into my head and there's nothing I can do to make them go away. Schizophrenia's can't stop themselves from hearing voices if they want to. Anorexias can't just snap out of it and eat some damn food.
I actually hate it when ideas pop into my head because I'll be like FUCK now I gotta do something to shit it out of my brain by materializing it into the world because if I don't do it, the ideas snowball and turn even more bizarre and I feel even more fucked.
When you are scared to go to sleep at night because you would be bombarded with thoughts that you can't even tell anybody, not even yourself about, unless you mild it down and disguise it as "art" to post on the internet.
I mean if you can dig my brain out of my skull I bet it would look so queer that it won't even resemble a brain. If my mind was a body then it would look like a disfigured monster.
And just as a handicapped freak can hide his monstrosity by chatting to people on the internet, I can only do the opposite.
I buy pretty clothes, get cool haircut, and work out my muscles and used to go to the clubs just so I can look and feel normal and disguise myself when I go out into the public and have to have conversations with people.
People in art school or a Lady Gaga who dress weird and bizarre, but when you actually talk to them or listen to their interviews or songs their minds are as normal any other minds. And THAt annoys me because they think it's fun and "cool" to advertise themselves as "freaks".
My exes used to always tell me to be normal because once I start to date someone more than a night, some of my shit surfaces and I can't hide my subconscious so well anymore.
I remember one of my ex used to tell me that I was so weird that it makes her want to vomit.
One of them dumped me for a church goer who collects Jordans. The other one is now dating a 9 - 5 guy who posed pictures of his BMW as his profile picture.
It makes me sad and jelly because in all honesty, I wouldn't mind walking in their shoes for the rest of my life.

[@Theanimatedcow]

Franks level of sexual deviancy fascinates me. It's fucking unreal how sexual his childhood was. Freud would have a breakdown if he observed Franks childhood.

[@AngryForeigner]

just 3 minutes in, and i can say this is one of the most hilarious and bizarre things i have ever seen. Just fantastic, Frank.

[@neilbennett3566]

Angry Foreigner you watch frank yang hahah brilliany

[@neilbennett3566]

Angry Foreigner love ur chanel btw

[@xxm0abxx5]

I don't find first 3 minutes funny. He got traumatized

[@LAK_770]

I would say he's one of the greatest living performance artists...and I just did....but it's quite possibly beyond that. It's philosophy, it's a deliberate attack on perception

[@jzen1455]

It's

[@ByeEvoX]

@@jzen1455ok thx

[@frankyang]

I'm fine physically. I can jump real high. But if you want, you can pay a psychiatrist to examine my knees.

[@tokie24]

God, I am so sorry you went though this hell of sexual humiliation, confusion, and isolation. No child deserves to go through this abuse and I would say the fucked upness would fall on the predator of a society that allowed you to go through this distorted hell. I commend you for your true honesty and bravery.

[@mikkelandersen6242]

Watching Franks videos is like when you wake up from a dream but the subconsious is still in dream mode and you have these weird outlandish thoughts.

[@Sharkzillaa]

I’ve returned....found this channel back in 2013 at the age of 13 ....6 years later am half way across the world in uni and I am back

[@GilBatesLovesyou]

Can never leave.

[@NEUTRLSLA]

Cool crag

[@Sharkzillaa]

Wow crazy

[@Sharkzillaa]

How things have changed since I made this comment

[@NEUTRLSLA]

@@Sharkzillaa how so?

[@seantDrummer]

As someone who has a few psychoses and mental disorders as well I can relate to what you said in the description. I workout, track calories, dress fancy, and get expensive haircuts so I can look normal throughout the day, it's like a disguise for the shit that my brain does.

[@VicHimself]

I thought I was fucked up...

[@imfromhearthstone3932]

+Vic Himself tell me that

[@electroviolenceita]

Whoever says this is trolling don't understand shit

[@GOG777]

You are brilliant! It is my honor to watch this video while it is still relatively unrecognized. I really look forward to watching the rest of your stuff over the coarse of the next hour and I hope you make more soon!

[@PONYBOYonline]

I wonder what everyone else in the gym is thinking as they listen to him lol

[@sohaminyoh]

PONYBOYonline he's in china

[@theblacklotusgaming3767]

@@sohaminyoh what does being in China lol

[@gianmarcogallardo9339]

fantastic, one of the best contents on youtube

[@stephenodonnell5648]

Why am i able to relate

[@MrJayOhh]

This is really intimate man, I am amazed how brave you are to let it all out, even after all the events that have taken place

[@dek094]

Frank I love that u put always subtitles, I am from Spain and that helps me to understand the whole video : DD no homo

[@frankyang]

@bertbertson04 yap im 142 pounds at the moment but bulking up now.

[@930102al]

This is so amazing. I can relate to alot of things here, you have really opened up your mind and thorn all the subconcious (spelling?!) stuff and made it very simple. Props to you fronk yong!!

[@930102al]

You have a wonderful mind/phantasy and everytime I watch your videos you inspire me gj bro

[@hcoguitar]

This is absolute pure genius

[@frankyang]

@Zakneteur i did put captions

[@Sharkzillaa]

Frank you are ahead of ur time man wow……this is a therapy session for frank and this is something i do in my life I recall painful memories in order to release negative energy

[@dixonvmusic2737]

Does anyone notice him throwing up 225 over the head like it's nothing? Seems kind of crazy to me. Frank should do more videos on OHP.

[@Slashtap]

You have to understand the artistry is in the monologue. It isn't necessarily true, or 100% about his life.

[@syahmiishere]

Assassin's Creed : Frank Yang

[@Barbellbro12]

If this is true.. You were one fucked up kid! Keep up the good work

[@qMitdick]

Frank you're actually a big inspiration. I and many others I guess also have this annoying thoughts that is hurting from inside, things you don't even want to remember.

[@jbc365gym]

You are a fucking legend Fronk.

[@sirdynamo]

Watching your videos makes me feel normal :) thx frank !

[@hlo9913]

[@TheRealDedi]

[@pensiq]

i love this guy

[@R4iNDc]

words of wisdom. keep up the good work man

[@neoc03]

@digitalairair - do whatever makes you feel normal. It's about making sure we are able to be comfortable in our own skin. Only then are we truly happy. Glad to see you found your direction.

[@frankyang]

Really? That's GREAT to hear because I don't feel sorry for myself, it's about time someone feels sorry for me! Thanks~

[@frankyang]

@Duodecillian yea. squat and oats.

[@KarrYoung]

the mind of an artist. we're always fucked and trying to counter balance the chemicals in our head with an overdose of endorphins. All the best to you, and you seriously have some great photography skills.

[@whostolejustsiggs]

best video i've ever watched in my entire life

[@aysianpersuasion]

best video ive seen, i admire your mind

[@frankyang]

@lblanketl stop playing the word games. They are not repressed memories. They are just memories. To me they are as easy as retrieving what i did for my workout

[@frankyang]

you are very intelligent.

[@GokkunGuru]

The sinister laugh at the very end was priceless. This guy is a disturbed genius! 2 thumbs up!

[@ProductionBandit]

curious, did anyone at the gym say anything? or has anyone approached you while filming a video for your behavior? i thoroughly enjoy your work.

[@naomilea3]

Thanks for putting this out there

[@Insomniaowl]

Interesting shit bro, very interesting. Yea speak it out, speak it all out, let your imagination, thoughts, memories, experiences all out. One day publish your own book on it :). Keep on working out, stay Healthy and Happy. Respect for sharing your memories in extreme detail.

[@Damnationization]

What is your workout schedule? I see you do powerlifting rep range. Thanks.

[@oscarmunoz2269]

All this time I thought I was normal.

[@ElVoldo1]

no matter how weird you are, you are a genious, frank. you inspired me to stop smoking & start bulking up myself

[@juliuscdelrosario]

this explains so much

[@BertoR88]

Soooo loud in that tiny gym. I also love how detached the maids are from the dialogue.

[@beegeebenyu]

where do you work out? i'm going to taiwan for 2 weeks and i'd really like to workout with you

[@jedwardkim]

the photo series at the end are awesome

[@MrMatthewminor]

wow this was the most interesting video ive ever seen on youtube

[@Tizoc85]

That was very interesting and in a way I wish that more people could be just as honest with each other. For the majority I think this would be too much but it is easier if you take it for what it is without judging him the way society compels you to judge. I am glad that he found someone and I hope that suicidal tendencies are a thing of the past.

[@TheSicDominator]

This is glorious. Best 15 minutes ever :P

[@Jazztifier]

Wow, I don't know many people who could trust this kind of stuff to internet. Respect your honesty. One thing I know in this life, when you got a disappointment or you fail at something, then there is no boundaries for the thirst of revenge.

[@HarryReynolds]

you are the man frank! australia loves you

[@adamptx]

greatest video ever

[@DuelingOwnage]

i admire your courage frank. Im going to do some catharsis while lifting too

[@kaoruhotarubi]

this is the best form i have seen him do

[@clifbabymac4life]

The photography is great.

[@CandyFactory]

Fronk, you should do a video with Travis Kraft.

[@Truthseeker182]

Dude. Your brain. Is unreal. Those neural circuits are some of the most complex I have ever witnessed. Damn

[@FeydTheRonin]

Glorious as usual

[@jovec]

You crazy for this one, fronk

[@snail.mailll]

Best example of mind over matter.... Distracting the mind from the daunting task at hand.

[@Toekkis]

This is brilliant

[@Agnorelli1]

I have a very close memory to your 3rd set of squats.

[@KingBorium]

wow you have some balls man. sharing all those fucked up things. we all have fucked up things we dont want to share but we wont but you just did! good job

[@freeky222haha]

your thoughts go into such words. Words i like.

[@Jazzhands1337]

Frank are you really gonna be a bodybuilder for the next phase of your life in order to do the epic violin performance (and make it your thing)

[@frankyang]

@AntManIAm nah that's bullshit. We aren't just performances. Can u tell a depressive, a cancer patient, a homosexual by default (genes), to just act "happy", "healthy", and "straight"?

[@SeethingGreen]

Great performance, man.

[@NewWorldOver]

Holy shit I exercise for the same reason... wanting to connect more with the 3rd dimension. The greater the size of one's mind or spirit the greater his potential to affect the world - but a vital element is that "bridge" that Frank talks about and it really is the human body, if only to move a pencil or type out words we need the body to connect our mind with reality - the greater the body the greater the connection.

[@KingBorium]

Are these stories metaphors and/or related to masculinity or the desire to achieve masculinity?

[@Scotchegz]

I was going to share your video's on Facebook but something tells me they wouldn't get it lol

[@gamer98502]

some of the most self aware insanity i have seen

[@ladida89]

LOL those photos r hilarious!

[@thelinn18]

@lblanketl well that is true, if you replace the word repressed with suppressed, a simple mistake on his part, then it suddenly makes sense

[@katinkers]

@Cefeyero i believe it. i'm amazed at how easy it is for him though. i mean shit! that's 6 plates! he's hardly straining at all

[@ScottieTYX]

did you ever train specifically to jump high? or was it something that happened in the process of you lifting

[@LOLittleHero]

its good to hear you've got someone who will accept you despite your 'mental disorders'

[@twosharpteeth]

Frank Yang is the most interesting person on youtube.

[@hobokent3219]

Stay strong brother

[@m1che1]

Frank I love those glasses.

[@IDninja25]

Frank is not crazy. He's just not afraid to talk about the darker aspects of (his) life.

[@schen477]

are you from hong kong?! I have never seen so many chinese people and signs like that anywhere in the states...

[@jewboi419]

what in the world is going on with this guy?

[@kano26]

I used to watch Frank Yang's work out videos to motivate myself at the gym, but now i'm afraid I'll start thinking of the time when i was molested. Th..Thanks Frank

[@EJVlogZ]

I guess Frank is one of the few people who make you question if the reality you live in isn't just a ego construct... and tells you that you should just let go ang go after your desires :-) Frank I love you and your beautiful art in so many ways haha

[@Kennybz25]

can't hate haha i related to many times to hate lmfao

[@bagua37]

hey there frank!! can u upload video of you dunking in 10ft rim. common men swoh us your vertical leap

[@MDenahy8]

WTF how are you so strong at that size? lol. BTW you are a legend.

[@xanh350]

Dude u are really strong for being skinny, i cant believe it , i wish i can lift as heavy as u man, how can u do it....

[@markjosephvillanueva3093]

did you see how many plates he was lifting during bench press ?! Is that even posible in the size of his body

[@charlieandhisdog]

Guy squatting with foam thing on the bar in the background. What is this?

[@SrvReaper]

I want that hoodie!!! Where do I get 1?

[@mikaeldon3320]

I really respect you for being so open about this. I also did some crazy sexual shit when i was little ever since i was like 3 years old i still remember it I can't tell it to anyone though it's too messed up maybe i will tell somone one day :P

[@ThePotato1]

Frank Yang should have a TV show It would be so crazy and addictive :)
