Thanks for watching, everyone! What fitness challenge should I try next???

Don't stop working out

I may not be deaf, but I honestly love that there are captions throughout this video.

[@samanthasbhs]

Nyle probably puts it into all of his video contracts 👍

[@FF-fb3vd]

yes)

[@BeeBeeMacGee]

I had to search the comments to see if my tv was acting up since I watch a lot of Korean videos, and will forget to turn the subtitles off.

[@oscarpersaud7650]

Nathaniel12345678910 there is the option to turn on captions

[@5678pinky]

@Nathaniel12345678910 They can turn on the captions button. I find it extremely distracting to have captions on and hated that I didn't have the option to turn it off.

[@NK-qf9ro]

Nyle is the sweetest guy.I am so happy he won ANTM

[@BailcuryG27]

Niki K he won DWTS too.

[@pikachuiswatchingyou]

He's such a sweet pea

[@areumpark6104]

I love Nyle, he's so sweet and caring. He is willing to teach and help others and still be patient despite his disability.

[@alyxreyval7870]

Being Deaf is not a disability. Nor was it ever. The way in which he communicates is unique and different, but misunderstood by those of us who are Hearing. It does not make them any less of a person.

[@geenadarling]

I love how genuine Spencer is. All his videos deal with real problems and how he copes. Like his stutter and how he has body image issues, half of the comments are going to be 'he looks the same' but he constantly says this is a fitness JOURNEY. Not a get lean fast challenge.

[@soccerqueen4life2]

Geena Martinez exactly!

[@Andre_APM]

Wholesome comment

[@user-sb8le3nz6o]

Indeed 👏

[@CarmennKau6689]

Not sure why people are saying they don't see a difference. Spencer, you definitely look more energised and have better physique after the challenge. Keep up the good work.

[@montagez3651]

There's very little difference, just better lighting.

[@Gobbygoblin]

because you can barely get any results in 30 days, the difference is mostly pump and lighting

[@thefirstexpert8514]

The lighting is about the same, you can’t say everything is about lighting

[@ykx777]

@@montagez3651 his lower stomach literally went in

[@finthehuman3649]

@@montagez3651 we're not saying it's a big difference, after all he only did this for 30 days, but his shoulders are wider, his arms and abs are more defined and his stomach is flatter

[@kellidemonte2923]

I am so happy you brought up your speech problem. I have very similar problem. Thank u for sharing it @buzzfeed it makes me feel like I am not alone with speech problems.

[@coldworld5]

Kelli Demonte did you honestly feel “alone” you don’t think other people have speech and language issues.

[@kellidemonte2923]

coldworld5 I’ve grown up with pretty much the same speech problem.

[@sarahcoletti6946]

I have a speech impediment as well 😊

[@AngelTVPost]

I’ve been having a stutter my whole life and that’s why sometimes I’m afraid to talk in public because I’m scared that I’m going to stutter and I’m going to be the elephant in the room and looked at as someone different

[@finthehuman3649]

@@AngelTVPost i think the best thing to do is to just be honest about it beforehand. If you're talking to someone tell them you have a stutter before you talk, it'll make you more comfortable and less worried about embarrassing yourself cause they'll know and be more patient with you during the conversation. Also sometimes it's better to make a joke out of it before other people make fun of it so you have the upper hand. Just be like, "So I have a really bad stutter so talk to me at your own discretion haha"

[@kevinpawl211]

I trained like some one from my 600 pound life for 30 days.

[@knick_knack]

I’m impressed how motivated he is. I have tried a lot of workouts in the past but I couldn’t seem to stick with them until I found one that I actually enjoyed doing.

[@bleukreuz]

the fact that he is getting paid to do it to make content for his job probably helped with motivation...

[@MrLo0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0L]

hot masculine guy: " i'v always struggled with body image issues " me : *shocked in calories*

[@hcblue]

I know it must seem hard to believe, but the thing about body image issues is that it's not about how other people see you; It's about how you see yourself.

[@pewusinger]

@@hcblue Absolutely. Thats why so many skinny people also struggle with that and anorexia is still a big problem out there. The big problema here is thinking that your struggle is pherhaps bigger that somebody elses, or because he is an gorgeous man he doesn't have the same body issues as a plus size person does. It's self inflicted

[@YeetusTheFetus]

I have anorexia but before being anorexic my bmi was like 19.5 so like...

I’m definitely not an expert, but it might be dairy or gluten

[@connectustothecosmicfamily2738]

That's happened to me. I started jumping rope. It got the water in my lymphatic system flowing out. I feel a lot better when I jump regularly.

[@hypnotistchicken]

Sounds like you need some changes in your diet

[@dramaturge231]

Thanks for being so honest and vulnerable, particularly about your speech impediment. Much love to you. I’m going to try to start working out four days a week.

[@AS-qi9mb]

Step one: Already have abs and be in great shape Me: Eating Doritos as I’m watching this. Guess I’m on a good starting point then

[@AS-qi9mb]

@Elite Fitness Now I was only kidding lol, in actuality I do take very good care of my health because I have multiple sclerosis but yes I agree, anyone can make the choice to change at any point

[@nataliasikora8931]

I love Nyle. He was so sweet on ANTM and I was rooting for him. Also, I'm glad to see representation of deaf people in modelling and media in general

[@Raine_Raine]

Im so about to rewatch ANTM cycle 22 just for Nyle...

[@IshanAli]

He literally looks the same. But just flex and tanned

[@selinakyle4920]

nah he looks less bloated as he said too... still a hole for him!

[@somsingh1718]

Man I have the same fumbling and stuttering problem as you And I related with you soo much At times we wanna speak soo much but the words just don’t come out of my mouth It was great to see you progress man And it has inspired me a lot

[@NostalgiCrazy]

Aww 🤗

[@dnldcr1459]

Me too, i hate it! I have had it since I was in kindergarden

[@jaytherenegade7673]

Is it like the words on the tip of your tounge and you know what you want to say but just cant? cuz im the same way

I can see the transformation and it's amazing how much you accomplished in 30 days. Keep up the good work.

Me: eating a hotdog and drinking coke...living My best life

[@cellat.7176]

I LOVE Nyle! I learned about him in my DEAF 300 class and started following him on Instagram. He is so funny and inspiring. He’s the best.

[@dramaturge231]

I got really emotional during this video, because I also have body image issues and compare myself to others. You really helped me. *hugs*

"I try and have a personal life"- Spencer Althouse. That's the best part.

[@md9mrm167]

YES👏more👏representation👏for disabled👏people!!!!! I’m disabled myself and I LOVE to see stuff like this!

[@joelperez6179]

Literally I never see changes in this guy apart from his smile.

[@rmereh]

I love the dedication to sharing your experience of body image issues as a man. And I love that incorporating that with other struggles like a stutter or hearing disabilities explores really underrepresented content on KZbin.*ONLY critique was that several times the music did not match what you were saying at all.

[@humectanianha8261]

I like how humble you are! Thank you for encouraging!! 💕

[@alisalin]

this was really neat! for future reference, when writing “deaf” the D is typically capitalized when talking about a Deaf identity (in Nyle’s case it would be capitalized). and having captions in KZbin’s caption feature, allowing it to be turned on and off, is usually better practice as well :)

[@TylerOkray]

Train like me. One pizza a day

[@coined_poor1111]

I got abs *A BIG STOMACH*

[@Klapaocious77]

Buzzfeed employees hinting for a bit of healthcare from their bosses...

[@recoil53]

They do have health care, look how many have done videos on chronic illnesses. They didn't afford their treatment by themselves.

[@sasacena-barruela3709]

Awwwww, Spencer. That’s brave of your to share your block stutter story. Thank you. 🤗

[@Mina-Diamandis]

I'm a simple gay i see Nyle dimarco and i click

[@martin19072]

One tip I can give ppl is, don't worry about the details. It doesn't really matter that much, it's way more important that you actually work out.

[@SMDancing]

Im i the only person that look at him and was like : I DONT KNOW WHY YOU ARE SO INSECURE because HE IS PRETTY LOOKING 🙊🔥

[@tvo3205]

Right? I prefer ordinary ppl than ppl who have been doing fitness for years and now just looking for quick ways to sprucing up haha

[@AllysonRR]

I LOVE SO MUCH THAT NYLE WAS IN THIS VIDEO!! It's the best one I've ever seen

[@djmastertrej727]

I love Nyle! So glad that you were able to collaborate with him on a video.

[@MegumiHayashida]

He's the same physically but his mindset improved which is the first step in order to reach that body goals is looking for

[@recoil53]

He definitely has better abs.

[@rjhaygood]

@@recoil53 Or he flexed his abs in the after pic, and pushed them out in the before pic

I trained for 30 days by walking to the KFC

[@danny00129]

To be honest you started this transformation with a decent physique anyway !

[@marialeonorcobo8962]

This videos are pure motivation. Great content

[@daniellecarlson131]

I love Spencer’s fitness videos! Not only is he adorable but he’s really inspiring.

[@natalierozean5989]

He’s sooo right! Getting started at the gym around those that have been at it for years or simply just months is the most frustrating part. Even w discipline and 100% commitment the need for some form of instant gratification is overwhelming at times. Whenever I started a new workout program, I used everything I could to mentally convince my self my body was changing. I even considered the pain I felt on day 3 the beginning of my body transformation. Then there were the tanning beds! lol I used those to psychology trick myself (although I knew better) into “seeing” instant weight loss and a healthier look in general. I would tan 2 -3 times a week after a really long workout as a reward. *Sshhhh...Dont start warning me about how bad tanning beds are. That’s NOT what this is about & I KNOW ABOUT TANNING BEDS* Anyway, I think the gym owners were on to the tanning bed effect being the key to psychological instant gratification long before we were. And it worked! I rarely weighed myself as weight loss was never a reason I worked out and I would gain weight and lose inches rather quickly. Instead, I’d go to the store at the end of each week and try on something small & affordable. IF it noticeably fit me differently than before I worked out, I’d buy it. Items like thin white tank tops that would normally cling to me and show my LACK of tone. When you can put on a $5.00 cheap thin spandex tank top and it actually looks good .... you KNOW your effort is paying off! Anyway, I think that constant need for instant results is why only the most disciplined people have remarkable bodies. Working out doesn’t even have to be difficult. It’s the waiting for results that frustrates people and they choose to quit. If someone started a gym program where they had biweekly “rewards” or ways they could show the small changes... it would be successful. Hook the member up w a get started kit ... bottle of fake tan, exfoliating body scrub, moisturizing lotion. A QUALITY thermal water bottle that not only looks cool, but enables you to keep track of water intake. Health shake mix, pedometer...etc. Things to encourage the member to care for their body inside and outside the gym. But they HAVE to use them.

[@anthonylopez942]

Wow , that speech of bettered yourself for no one but you was something I needed to hear , thank you so much :)

[@majawittendorffjrgensen9143]

Bro, ending the video with that, how am I supposed to stay sitting still on my couch watching Netflix? Now I feel like I need to try to follow your example, and try to keep myself disciplined enough to go through things like this, hehe. Thanks a lot though for the motivating words, and you're looking really great! :D

[@jarmunder]

It was great to see your journey and I love that you talked about your stutter and confidence issues. You and Nyle both represent a refreshing break from the toxic image of masculinity that saturates so much of the media. Thank you for normalising vulnerability, keep up the amazing work!

[@renanmachado6515]

i wish this actually laid out his fitness and nutrition plan.

[@aurafc955]

11:46 after he’s just tucking his stomach in

[@knick_knack]

Mini VyBes yeah. I’m pretty sure he was sticking it out a bit in the first picture, cause u can’t have a stomach like that with those kind of abs. Maybe he was SUPER bloated but I’m pretty sure he was pushing out

[@jeremy.franco]

I wish you guys showed more of the foods/workouts or attached something so that we could follow along and join you in the challenge!!!

No.

Big NO

[@danishsulaiman3034]

That is not the real beauty standard of men. They are very feminine. My camels look better.

[@alessandropalmeri4875]

DANISH SULAIMAN there’s no “real” beauty standard because it changes from a culture to another, that’s why those kind of videos would be interesting

[@mostimportantmegan]

Can we all get a round of applause for the automatic captions they put on this episode!

[@mrskeksa]

Note to every weight training beginner: I hope/ assume these workout clips played at the beginning aren’t from the first day. Doing bench press after a long pause with these weights is really irresponsible. First make sure the form is correct and work your way up to heavier weights

[@minecraftingmom]

It's not like he didn't do any chest work though. As much as he's like "I'm just starting" "It's so hard", he started pretty damned fit.
