Hope yall enjoy da VLOGGGGGGGGGGGG and don't hate me if I don't ever hit another DL PR

[@devinfoley119]

Gas is $4.55 for regular here in California

[@Buffandthestuff75]

Maxx life happens and goal’s change. We dont care about the the PR in the Gym anymore. Just enjoy your being your goofy self. The helix ad was hilarious. But did you break your chair ?….😂

[@kennymccullough808]

the ad holy shit LOLZ

[@FestivalChic]

Taylor hyperventilating from laughter at the Helix transition 😂😂😂😂😂 comedy gold 🤣

[@LeslieNicoleLifestyle]

This legit was me 😂😂😂😂😂😂 literally laughing out loud 😂😂😂

[@ryanbroschard]

The helix scene plus Felix getting thrown around by dood was pure comedy 😂

[@yolondanatividad395]

I think Dood is gonna miss Felix when Mona moves.

[@mirza6399]

😂😂😂

[@ScottKelley]

Helix Felix

[@jsunshinej]

felix was literally airborne😂

[@sharkboy980]

I’m dead 😂. Had to rewatch and show my wife

[@Justin_Choy]

Hey maxx, if your heart isn’t in powerlifting anymore, it’s ok to walk away. You’re not a quitter. Quitting would be stopping before the job was done. You have so much to the sport and inspired so many (myself included). Focus on the next big thing!

[@Godverdommenee]

Facts!!!! I’m 100% sure he inspired THOUSANDS to do powerlifting and helped getting the sport to become more mainstream. I’m so grateful for the motivation he gave me in 2015/16

[@iMOptimalBio]

Whats the next big thing tho he already has a million selling candy

[@Justin_Choy]

@@iMOptimalBio who knows? That’s what makes life exciting!!!

[@saharamercado5319]

Ahhh TAYlor with “I’ve been in 3 accidents” passenger princess granted ❤

[@danielleplana53]

@ 6:12 😭😭 I am crying. I will never get tired of your transitions to the sponsorships. Absolute gold. 😂

[@adrianbarisano]

That was a quite Michael Scott momment haha

[@dwayneparker-jt5jk]

The Helix scene, the evil Felix voice and Taylor’s laugh…all so good! 😂😂

[@BusinessAndFitness]

Shocked that there was no mention of Joe @ 2:46 with the picture of the giraffe next to the bear. Probably because you don’t like to repeat the same jokes.

[@marc_bautista]

“$200 for a new cushion?!?!” *breaks the entire chair* 😂😂😂

[@mattgetsfitt8082]

And to add on to my last comment…. You have so much going on with SS and EF plus KZbin. You don’t need to keep powerlifting to make us happy.We’re here to watch you and your life and you grow.

[@briannesbestlyfestyle5168]

The level of commitment this man has to keeping us on our toes for ad placement will ALWAYS have me watching his videos

[@docassemble3148]

Im proud of you Maxx. I am from Falls Church VA and work at Trader Joes. I tell all my customers about the legend of Falls Church Maxx Chewning. It brings a smile to one and all. Keep on keeping on brother.

[@zachwelchhh]

No true fan of Maxx is gonna stop watching your videos if you decide to move on from powerlifting. Here to support Maxx, Taylor and Dood through it all! Ever Forward…!

[@JDJosephDo]

6:10 I replayed this like 5 times. I swear to you if you keep doing this type of stuff it'll go viral for Helix.

[@SwolfieTv]

Same! Lol

[@angelmanuel17]

I would support you even if you bench 135, squat 136, and deadlift 145. It is not the weight you pulled under a bar, but the happiness you bring to your fans through these videos.

[@HypeStadium]

My puppy went crazy when Maxx squeezed the dog toy 😂. This dudes personality never gets old.

[@sharkboy980]

Same 😂

[@CurtisMishleau]

First of all, I'm not sure what Helix pays you for sponsorships but it's not enough. Straight fact! Secondly, I completely respect the awareness to realize the amount of commitment and dedication it would take to break the next numbers on deadlift, squat, and bench. The fact that you've been able to reach some significant milestones in those areas that now give you the ability to switch your focus and priorities to bigger and better things like Taylor, your businesses, and just continuing to upgrade your life is absolutely amazing. I don't think sacrificing those other areas in life just to squat 25 more pounds matters in the grand scheme of life. Your dedication, perspective, and maturity are true inspiration. Keep it up and eat more sour strips! #Skew the data

[@Inevitable_95]

From a fan since 2016 I can say that it’s not the numbers you’ve hit in powerlifting that made those vlogs what they were, it was the energy, effort, and enthusiasm you put into to not only motivate yourself but us as well. I say that in this point in your life you should take those 3 things and pour them into furthering SS, EF and your family, majority of us would enjoy that ride just as much as anything else you’ve put out . At the end of the day it’s your character and broad attention to detail that keeps us coming, not necessarily the actual content.

[@graysonboyd7371]

I started following you when I was 15 (11 years ago) and you and a few others were my huge motivators behind powerlifting, I’ve since pulled back on it to focus on school and family, life requires a lot of attention man and you’ll find more support than dissent in your decision🤘🏽🤘🏽

[@AboveInShadow]

5:55 I can't imagine how loud his voice is to create echo in that place. Neighbors nightmares. Also Dude needs to chill, he's throwing that little dog like a rag doll.

[@marcomartinez4675]

I know exactly how you feel, Maxx. When I was younger, I wanted to be as big as I could get!!! I did pretty good, I got to 280 pounds at 6 feet tall….all natural. Then, in my 40’s I had to drop weight just for health reasons. It was hard not being that “big guy” any more, but it was a different time in my life. I think you’re probably feeling the same way. Lifting heavy and going after PR’s is something you’ve done your whole life, but now I think your at another stage in your life where that’s not important anymore…. I know it’s kind of sad because it’s like you’re leaving a piece of you behind, but that’s just how life is. Embrace the new stage and enjoy.

[@daisymcguire7232]

It was the heart felt talk about how we’re a community and interaction that has me thumbs up this vid. Warm hearteddddd

[@nawazzaman2555]

The streamy for the best AD build up goes to Maxx. These guys better be treating you better than those ppl that just read off their phones

[@AshleyD27]

I don’t watch for the powerlifting content…. I watch because I find your content entertaining and I love seeing the relationship between you and Batman!

[@Incognitobulldog]

You’ve added so many different elements to your life/channel. I think the saying “jack of all trades, master of none” can be applied here. You’ve got Sour Strips, house, relationship, and regular content. It makes sense to dial the focus onto what’s filling you cup and not overextend yourself for the sake of feeling like you owe people certain content.

[@jcantu2007]

I feel you Maxx!! I’m turning 35 tomorrow and priorities are just different now! It’s totally okay, life changes, and sometimes for the good! I’ll still be deadlifting for sure but not going to be powerlifting.

[@RaulGolfsClips]

Started watching your content for the fitness back in 2017. Now as im older, im only here for the business and lifestyle vlogs.

[@reemfoto]

1:30 Currently $6.90 p/gallon (€1.70 p/liter) over here in The Netherlands when you go to the cheap stations. About $8.00 p/gallon at stations on the highway. More money and a postive attitude!!

[@PRIMETIMEBALL]

Been watching since you were still working at your old job all the way up to now I honestly don’t even care about the lifting content anymore I watch to laugh and see the lifestyle and business moves you’re making. Do what makes you happy Maxx 💪🏼

[@lilsuper21]

I’ve been watching you for years max, many years! I never came for just for the powerlifting - you got me aware of the industry but my point is I’m here for you max. I want to hear what’s going on in your day/ life when you’re 45 and possibly don’t even KZbin anymore. Your commentary and comedy is why i care to hear about your life. Best of it all is you encourage and educate on building business. We love you maxx

[@billstrange7401]

Bahahaha! That Helix pitch 😂 Dawgs airborne…Taylor dying from laughter…top-notch acting with the ad. Well done, Maxx!

[@MrDjconquest]

I’ve totaled 3 car’s Maxx…..LMAO she knew how to get you to shut up!!!! LOL

[@1llamental]

Your PRs in life have been far more valuable and exciting than your lifting numbers. I dont even remember the last time I saw you hit one in a video in recent years, yet im still here lol (respectfully). The wackiness and randomness is what keeps the og viewers watching. Would be cool to see a video with Nick Wright and/or Chris Jones like the good old youtube days and maybe a few FDOE vids but otherwise, here in it for the long haul 🍻🙏

[@amycardenas1819]

Happy Sunday and Memorial weekend Maxx!! ☺

[@scott4581]

Being in a different part of life is not being lazy! You’ve gained so much more responsibilities within the past like 5 years and your priorities have shifted and theres nothing wrong with that 👍🏽

[@carsonbhoffman]

Powerlifting progress was great, but I don’t think we’re all here for that. We like your personality and the way your articulate your videos Maxx. Keep it up!

[@caitlinseidl7571]

MAXX you are so entertaining. I would truly miss your vlogs if you ever stopped!

[@Joshs_Journey]

Loving your talk how much you care about community and the comments of the videos. Feels like you care more about the comments then the video itself, in a good way though! Really makes as a viewer and commenter feel appreciated a hell of a lot 🔥🔥. Also I want to see more recipes and want Taylor or somebody else to rate them :D

[@jessechavez1141]

It was great seeing you, Joe the giraffe, and Tay Tay Banks this weekend; Houston Trip complete!

[@1996ikey]

Max you the goat and I love you commitment to jeeps forever

[@warren_88]

Hey Maxx, we all go through different phases in life. I started following your channel because of Christians and my journey through fitness. Been training for 3yrs now and to be honest I have shifted more to your channel because like most of your audience we all feel a connection with you. Both you and Christian are genuine and people will continue to watch your content because of you. I personally enjoy your motivation when it comes to fitness, health, your drive for business success and most importantly your humour! if you decide to shift your focus from powerlifting to family/other interest it’s all good! Your constant drive for everything you do is infectious and to see you shift to fatherhood is admirable and I for one would love to see your blog through that wonderful journey. Your going to be an awesome dad! My son is now 10yrs old and I can assure you your priorities in life will change and for all the right reasons. All the best Maxx!

[@ryanlort7727]

Years ago I started watching you because of your fitness vlogs and full day of eating vids. Now I watch you because I feel like I'm part of your life and I love to see how you and your family are doing. I will always watch regardless of powerlifting or bodybuilding.

[@pavithrank5841]

I won't stop watching your videos if you stop powerlifting but I still want you to compete because I always love watching your prep videos and you getting through your injuries, hitting some sick deadlift - you are called the deadlift brah for a reason.

[@Ale_Lab]

Maxx whatever makes you happy, makes me happy. No worry about powerlifting. You inspire people in many other ways now.

[@CamFerland]

Maxx, please never stop making videos as long as you live

[@richmartinez2748]

Great vid Maxx! Gas is 4.40 here in Tucson. Maxx hang up the power lifting, your evolving and its cool to see. Keep crushing it!

[@amylynn171]

We like your content regardless of power lifting of strength training. I think everyone’s goals change overtime. All that matters is that your content stays true to you. Over the ten years I’m sure every follower has changed something they’re doing in the gym. I think people look at your content for inspiration & community. I’m here because you’re living a good healthy life & you also like margs. You don’t take life too seriously. It’s better than other channels. Not to mention the SICCC angles.

[@_Justin]

Completely feel you on the gym goals. After getting married. Having a kid. I’m switching my training to more functional, first because my job requires it. Second I want my heart to be healthier. But I’m still doing some bro lifts as well. Just forever finding that balance with life..

[@morganzOTS]

Maxx I think it’s a great place to be to realize that exercise is truly meant for your health & that you don’t always have to have a crazy goal or anything!!

[@johannperez4984]

Thank you for uploading every week Maxx, I look forward to watching your videos every Sunday on my lunch break. You are an inspiration for me on everything. But focus on your goals and we will continue to support.

[@swoleboytroy4061]

“I totalled like 3 cars Maxx.” Isn’t Taylor like, 27? Sheeeesh. She’d make a great Uber/Lyft driver.

[@SonofaBlacksmith]

Taylor laughing at your hilix ad drama was the highlight of the video for me

[@itech1129]

Maxxx is a real one!! That helix intro was EPIC LMAO!!

[@jcrespi07]

Training for a powerlifting meet takes a lot of commitment and in turn takes time away from your loved ones sometimes. It’s ok to walk away from it; I had to make that decision after my second child. Do what you have to do for yourself and the ones you love.

[@Krux303x]

Remember you dont have to fully close the door and "walk away". Accept the new norm that it might be toned down and not competing. Always strive to be the happiest and best verison of yourself.

[@HeyDanHay]

Now that’s how you incorporate an ad into your video! Love this

[@natecochran2590]

The Helix clip caught me so off guard! I started laughing so hard while on the treadmill! I had to stop! Loved Taylors reaction!

[@dogdadbabycrossfit5251]

I’ve been watching your videos since I opened my CrossFit affiliate in 2014. We have both come so far. You can start posting about pedicures and I would still watch. Happy to see you and Taylor still together and happy, wishing you all the best Maxx!

[@togeeguy]

Nothing wrong with ending one chapter and starting another! You'll always be Deadliftbrah to me 😉❤💪🙌

[@charbabyFNF]

Maxx or deadlift brah, I'm here for it and the uploads make me feel happy no matter what the content

[@gregrisinger9064]

You just keep being you and we will enjoy the content you give us. 💪💪💪

Let’s be real I’m not the best driver 😂I swear accidents follow me😜Max we have admired all your accomplishments and are so proud and will continue to be so proud as long as it makes you happy. Hey, your already proud and satisfied, what else could you ask for in life 😉✌️

[@treyteter4350]

The jump on the outdoor pool chair! 😂😂 Great stuff!

[@alatona26]

Funniest lead in to an ad spot ever. Taylor’s reaction was hilarious. Keep it up bro, still killin it.

[@JayFriedrichs]

Hahahahha the helix sponsor makes me die everytime 😂😂😂😂😂

[@AliciaNicole19]

Love your videos, laugh out loud so much watching thesee

[@aguywithajeep]

The commitment to the bit is unmatched 😂

[@bijalpanwala]

Maxx, I turned 40 this year. When we had our 1st kid I gave up Crossfit and switch to more a strength maintenance with a summer of switching to bodybuilding to add muscle mass. Priorities change just keep going to gym as long as you enjoy it but powerlifting can be demanding so consider maybe just running a 3 month cycle in the winter.

[@AllTheDips]

Do what makes you happy bro

[@chelseapritchard2117]

Southern California gas is $4.80 if I'm lucky! Passed by Chevron yesterday, and it was $5.09 for regular. My jaw dropped when you said $2 something. Wow!! I only use regular but I'm afraid to look at how much more premium is!

[@gregoryduran4405]

HAPPY SUNDAY MAXX!

[@bmgrosso]

Let's be real Maxx, if your heart isn't 1000% in it it's unlikely you're gonna break many PR's. It's a sad thought that you've moved on from power lifting but it's on to bigger and newer things. Ever Forward.

[@ale189251]

6:10 Best acting of the year

[@DavidHamiltonYT]

Would I like to see you hit some PR's one last time? 100%, but I think part of the reason is because it's a goal and something we could get behind and be hyped about. My 2 favorite times in the videos was buying and renovating the house and when you first introduced Taylor. Seeing you have a goal and grow towards it was hype. Does it have to be powerlifting? Not really, it could be anything that runs along side the videos/sour strips. Maybe that's why we don't really mind what you do.

[@heatherballard496]

Dood and Felix in the back of Maxx's Helix fall was classic!

[@asdfgh1880]

that ad transition was so unexpected it caught Taylor off guard lol

[@mikedezo424]

Pumped on the Steve cook podcast!! Original fitness KZbinr always liked his content back in the day

[@ezequielvega7820]

This video was good 😂😂 The Felix scenes, the Helix scene and the talk. I feel like you’ve already transitioned out of power lifting and now you’re just confirming it. That stage of your journey was what got me into watching you, but now i’m here just to get a laugh and some entertainment on the days you post. Always great videos and hopefully you keep them coming.. sloppy ofcourse 😂

[@darisseruben]

Do what love and love what you do 😊😊😊 I’ll still be here watching your videos

[@Sami-yu8bt]

Is it a Sunday morning without a Maxx video? ❤❤❤❤ perfect timing

[@RaulGolfsClips]

I for sure drive every time when im with my wife. lol. Apple Pay at the gas station! haha The Helix and Taylor laugh crushed in this vid!! lol Love those transitions.

[@Kaaure]

Taylor couldnt believe what she was witnessing, pure comedy gold! 😂

[@Danny_jrt]

I am happy you're doing what you beleive is best in your life. Powerlifting or shredding, it all is great brother!

[@alanwuest6220]

Maxx, your achievements in power lifting are pretty elite. There comes a point where the numbers are Maxxed out and going further could risk your joint, muscle, and tendon health in your future. Long term.... functional body building is healthier and you know, I could definitely see a men's physique competition in your future. Do a six month dedicated reverse diet with macros to gain muscle weight and pair it with a Push, pull, leg split to bring up some lagging muscle groups and compete early next year 💪

[@nkh81782]

Long time watcher. I like business stuff the most even though I found you deadlifting with Meg in DC. We will still be here for the next phase of training when you decide to do it.

[@youngpark7882]

6:11, saw that coming lol. Never gets old lol.

[@JuanMorales-gh6jp]

Life goals > gym goals the irony is the gym goals set us up to achieve the life goals. That’s why it’s hard to let go of. You got this dood.

[@CapnQuag]

hi Max! i think your decision to maybe curb power lifting is the right one. (If there is a right and wrong choice, ultimately thats on you to decide and what makes each one of us happy is different.) But in a similar vain to you, I've had to prioritize the gym less in my life too as I have a fiance, a house, pets and a demanding full time job. It was a lot easier to pursue my body building dream when it was just me and no one else relied on me!

[@Dr.leethechiro]

I think you should try a CrossFit class. I was in a rut years ago and bit the bullet even though I talked so much shit about it and tried it 5 years ago, and have never looked back. I also am a Doctor of Chiropractic, and my bachelors is in kinesiology and nutrition (before people have negative comments about CF). I remember my first class, and I was ready to just absolutely roast the coaches for how the conducted the class, but afterwards, there was nothing to tear apart. I could really see you and Taylor liking it. You get a good taste of everything, and you can go as hard as you feel like you want to & safely (which you and the coach will help make sure of that of course).

[@joeya7826]

Maxx “how’s Bali?” Mona “Maxx I love it out here” Maxx “okay you’re done” 😂😂😂

Naa it’s whatever you put your 100% into that we care about. Whether it be powerlifting or running a business or running around town for an ice cream maker lol. You being happy makes it fun to watch
