"Journey To CAPO" Chapter V: From Nothing

[@BasementBrandon]

Another solid episode here

[@heckteck]

Get Better Brandon....come back stronger from that horrible injury

[@toptierbillionaire1474]

Man....I still watch this video until this day...been watching this since I was 15...I'm 25 now...Such a inspiration

[@gainsandglory6808]

based on when it was posted, it was a 7 year old video when you were 25. You said you had watched it for 10 years. How bro

[@gainsandglory6808]

I am factoring in that this was a comment from a year ago

[@toptierbillionaire1474]

@@gainsandglory6808 Its a older video from his training set from Animal. This was uploaded onto youtube later

[@Bayville90]

This video showed a side of Brandon Lilly I never thought existed. Very touching, very inspiring. I wish him all the best in his recovery. Animal has damn near brought me tears with this video series. It just goes to show that powerlifting is so much more than some sport or hobby. Truly humbled. Thank you Animal.

[@MiTrenZ]

Breaks my heart to see his passion and motivation and that it's all taken away from him due to his current injury... Hope you'll recover well and make the trip in the future!! Good luck Brandon and hope you'll fully recover to continue your love / hate relationship with the weightroom!!

[@samk7717]

People don't realize that most that huge lifting guys have a gentle heart,respect and peace

[@mikepowers9580]

Fantastic series, just beautiful. Lilly is a great ambassador and a true credit to the sport. Best wishes on a swift recovery.

[@NorthStrongSC]

I don't care about his past like some guys wanna talk about, he's helped me a lot as a lifter, and for that I am very thankful to him. Wishing him a speedy recovery, hope to see him back sooner rather than later.

[@falconemoto6943]

Brandon is a prime of example of, it’s not about being the guy that people are intimidated by or threatened by, it’s about being the guy that picks people up when they’re down, the guy who’s there for you when you need a friend, or need help. That’s what it’s all about.

[@JayRunsLONGBEACH]

Watching all these animal guys really makes me want to start powerlifting.

[@flush_entity]

Tyler Durden yep! power is addicting..!

[@raketsteffe]

Did you start?

[@jonih3274]

Did you start?

[@Chris_Jenkins_Wales_Strongest]

What a great ambassador for our sport, well spoken and intelligent. I like the way how he doesn't have to swear or act tough to capture the viewers attentions, he's just being himself and he's a very interesting chap. I for one am now a Brandon Lilly fan.

[@joshtantcreative6085]

My daily inspiration. You guys are seriously on top. Not just because of your supplements, but because of your elite athletes and knowledge you guys provide us with. Thank you Animal. No one compares.

[@bizeem]

You have got to love Brandon Lilly. Thank you Animal.

[@willbennett5645]

This guy is amazing human being. Very humble and cool demeanor.

[@TheGuyThatWondersWhy]

Such a motivating powerlifter and person. It's cool how he opens up and tells about his weaknesses. That must be very scary with the amount of attention he has. Hope you heal well and come back stronger than ever.

[@DDGM69]

Animal makes THE BEST VIDEOS! VERY INSPIRING & REAL!

[@Hobbyliftsalot]

A huge MOTIVATOR for me, RESPECT, Brandon, RESPECT.

[@Byzantios1]

Very impressed with Brandon as a lifter, and much more as an individual.

[@shevb]

Brilliant video from animal. And to Brandon, I wish you all the best in your recovery. With a champions mindset that that man has, I'm confident that he'll be back in the weight room doing what he loves

[@marcusvegan]

Someday, God willing, I will have the opportunity to personally thank each of these athletes, who tell their stories of success and failures, and how did WHAT to make a comeback. All these videos to watch here always motivate me and make me seek to win every day, both in practice and in life. This sport is wonderful, he is able to change anyone's life and you just want to devote.

[@TheSerafinet]

so sick, love what you guys are doin with these videos! B Lilly's the MAN

[@ethanbrooks6809]

Man coming back to videos that started me in this sport and looking at the condition of the sport today really puts things in perspective.

[@Vampunz]

Very inspiring. Wish him a speedy recovery.

[@dquin12]

I wish nothing but success for genuine people like this!

[@kamuela2207]

Humbling man. I have a good feeling that he will comeback stronger. He may have changed that young man's life with a simple gesture. Prayers sent up for the Big Dawg! Thank you Animal.

[@schiavone95able]

Hope a speedy recovery for brandon

[@robmiley9245]

One of my favourite lifters and videos. Seriously probably the 10th time I've watched it

[@Teekkarimax]

Jesus Animal, these videos that you have been making recently.... So immensely inspring! I really hope that you have the drive and possibility to keep up this work!

[@x1NV1CTUSx]

This episode was awesome! It's really cool to hear how Rollins inspired Lilly too. Much Respect to Brandon and I wish him a fast recovery!

[@michaelbridges448]

I just ran across this video lifting weights in my garage and seen your story and I just to say thank you because you gave me another perspective on lifting and over coming difficult things in life. So keep up the great work powerlifting and thanks again.

[@larrymasterspowerbuildingc4477]

Shook hands with the man at Relentless Detroit 2014. Had a couple of words and the man is nothing but humble. Hope to see him keep his successes consistent. And all you novice powerlifters and pro powerlifters stay positive and give of yourself first. God bless. Oh...and get the fuck n the gym and get the butter from the duck!

[@Zcavaricci23]

Brandon.... some great insights into real life. Thank you brother.

[@ivormackenzie3867]

It's so good seeing these high production value vid's for powerlifting for a change. 10/10 Universal Nutrition!

[@ivormackenzie3867]

Absolutely, these are some of the only vids I've seen produced to a high standard (if there are others I haven't personally seen them) that actually shows us the athletes in the sport. I just started strength training after moving on from a bodybuilding regime and these are great motivation.

[@Kaelan66]

What an inspirational and positive figure in the powerlifting world..

[@Rockybodybuilding]

What a great video! Brandon is the man! Much respect!

[@adamedwardcole]

This guy is such an inspiring athlete... I've got a lot of respect for him....

[@bibearfan]

I loved this video. Brandon is a beautiful person. Thanks.

[@Alvsmondares]

Here's to a speedy recovery and right back onto the platform Brandon.

[@MattNavarret]

Those are all the important things, feelings and being a good person. Excellent video!

[@austingrice537]

Every time I watch an Animal video i have to watch more. THANK YOU for being a great motivation. Btw Lilly you are the man.

[@fallible4]

Those series man... they really made me think about the things in life that matter. It hit me right in the heart man. It's really unbelievable. I'm focusing on powerlifting type of training for about year and a half now and I really need this. Thank you Animal!

[@HorseFromHell]

All the best Brandon.

[@kidR0BOT]

Why cant more pro athletes be like Brandon?

[@MrDzel]

Great insight into Animal & Brandon Lilly. I really relate to what he stated about his early years growing up.

[@kelvinvalentin3285]

Much respect. Speedy recovery Brandon..

[@Pilot449]

Unreal. Absolutely loved this! So inspiring man. Your story is incredible.

[@hunterh.2874]

Crazy to think one of my favorite powerlifters lives not even 2 hours from me. Awesome

[@gainsandglory6808]

the opening statement was crazy looking back now. Squat fail took him to the floor with a lot of people and friends watching and it made him hate the weight room. His career ended pretty much the same way. Tragic

[@Nemesis093781]

Thank you for the great video, thumbs up.

[@costricanbeuti]

Amazing physic, strong mind, tremendous dedication and fearless words.thank you for sharing you are crazy awesome and a great inspiration!!!!!

[@snubbebubbe]

Great video of you Brandon! Wish you a good and fast recovery and i cant wait too see your comeback! Stay safe Big Man!

[@AKay4tothe7]

Inspiration! Cincy fan, Rollins fan, and lift to lift! Keep on keepin' on, man! Thank you! Andy

[@BalazsAntaltricking]

yooooooo how much Brandon changed during the years! freaking crazy

[@Arizala213]

BIG UPS to whoever decided to make these videos.. they are great.

[@Arizala213]

Animal yeah buddy! Good stuff. I feel exactly like him. Love your ads. Dark and gritty. I have heard of "the cage" you guys do. AWESOME STUFF.

[@Arizala213]

Animal sweet! Gonna watch that now. I've seen someone with a huge animal sticker with the logo on their truck. How could I get something like this? Super awesome.

[@slowdown17]

all these episodes are so damn good! I would also recommend everyone read at least one of Rollins books. or youtube a vid of him speaking, he is really amazing. kevin rollins - black coffee blues (not the most motivational but its a great read)

[@fromanotherstar]

very inspiring, much appreciated...

[@Disassoci8]

Do your thing man from Richmond, KY here

[@OfekUrbinoLTSLiveTrainSleep]

Great chapter !

[@om1kron]

awesome, very moving.

[@MrTattedFit]

These videos are to good.. very motivational

[@JohnsonPowerlifting]

By far my favorite powerlifter

[@santanic15]

wish u a speedy recovery big guy!

[@jenniferf.2727]

My favorite lifter Period.

[@d-c4918]

Greatness was written

[@ignaciobachvarov4317]

Great video, Respect for the honest words!

[@102liljon]

Speedy recovery Brandon

[@xChrisSoaresx]

Thanks Animal Pak love these videos. Hope Brandon has a speedy recovery too. By the way who's shooting these videos. They remind me of a series with Jay Haizlip called The Uprising.

[@metalrocks999]

Keep these videos coming great content!

[@dean9330]

you seem like a really good guy, keep it up and good luck

[@wakawaka545]

I love this video

[@johnmcafoos4090]

Very inspiring. Thanks bruh.

[@MrHankHill]

This is the only guy I can relate to. Inspired me to push harder at the gym every fucking day.

[@BigSheaux]

This is my motivation

[@leroy0053]

love the video!!!! really dig what he was talking about....could somebody please tell me the wrist wraps he is wearing??

[@cappuccinoothello]

As always another great episode. I think everyone should get into sports/athletics of some kind. To be able to see your potential and the truth inside of you is very empowering. Besides all the other obvious benefits, a study was done where they found consistent, strenuous exercise was more effective than taking anxiety/anti-depression meds for people with that disposition. As a person who was on meds when I was younger I say stop feeding the billion dollar pharmaceutical companies, get off your ass and go lift something heavy.

[@Conrad0032]

This man is awesome :)

[@WorldwideDarts]

That thumbnail though!! LOL

[@ForTeensFitness]

And it makes me more driven to get a sponsorship with you guys. One day.

[@thelinearpractiseday]

i remember in gym class in high school the teacher was going to show us how to bench press. he had two plastic 25 lbs. plastic plates on the bar and as he was describing how to lower the bar to his chest he realized he couldn't push it back up. we were waiting...waiting... 'till his legs starting flying around and he started screaming for help! that's when i decided i should maybe start exercising! funny true story.

[@mageftw1]

Another GREAT example of why Animal/Universal have the best athlets. This is 100% times more motivating than Phil Heath winning mrO or showing us hes new Nike shoes. Thanks for this again - Regards, Animal/Universal entusaist.

[@paulwaters4672]

This is an old video but great !!! A lifter told me recently that you wanted to make a comeback ...i think if you do you'll be even better this time !!

[@MAH-nj2vo]

Brandon's cool as fuck, I hope he makes a good recovery and comes back stronger

[@ForTeensFitness]

This is why I love animal.

[@Baxter91]

A Google search will find loads of stories about lilly. Not always good but to me he comes across like a good guy. Means what he says and is a good role model in the sport for the little guy.

[@JohnKatsTV]

I've seen some of those rumors. Not sure if they are true, but what matters is that Brandon is doing a great thing for the sport here and now.

[@Baxter91]

Exactly. Good to see him come back from the injury.

[@shaildhishrai9952]

any way i could find the instrumentals that plays at the end of this vid? Thanks!

[@jallalabadreturns]

hard to watch this considering the situation. all the best bandon.

[@w.c.dogside1204]

The thinking mans powerlifter.

[@justinsanchez7449]

PLEASE! tell me that instrumental in the beginning of the vid! btw awesome vid as always

[@calj27]

I like this guy

[@oxxstyle]

So bummed that he was injured.

[@TheBobbysPerspective]

[@Vrossi95]

[@robmiley9245]

[@ssw6455]

[@jnewman6658]

[@johnspartan98]

[@Carissa4Health]

Seems like a good guy :)

[@MAH-nj2vo]

[@ssw6455]
