I think you might be the soul reason I’m down 20 pounds and am in the best shape of my life. I look up to you as a role model , thank you josh!

[@kennyxsd]

I was feeling unmotivated and didn’t want to workout today. That’s changed thanks brotha for the inspiration!

[@JoshBridges]

Hell yeah man

[@wctraviscole4212]

Thank you for posting this vid. As a father of two young boys myself it's awesome to see that the balance is possible. In a interview on another channel you shared a piece of advice that someone had shared with you, about enjoying the age your kids are now and not wishing for them to be a different age because they will only be the age they are now once. That was like a punch to the face, because I have caught myself doing that. Never again. Thank you for sharing that. Subscribed and Liked! Full go on paying the man!

[@JoshBridges]

William Cole that was the best advice I ever got for being a Dad

[@goblineater34]

Dude I love how you have your boys around while your working out, setting a great example for your boys! I take my hat off to you brother! Peace out

[@johndough9355]

Pay the man every day

[@JoshBridges]

Hell yeah

[@wgeffon]

You with your boys is the best part of these videos.

[@JoshBridges]

[@tigerjohns0n]

Josh, it cannot be understated how much your fans love these insights into your life. Thanks for sharing.

[@JoshBridges]

tigerjohns0n thanks for all the support, love supporting my fans

[@TeamMcDonaldBeachVB]

I never comment on videos Josh but this reminds me so much of my life when I was younger. My brother was an Olympian freestyle wrestler in 08 and I Wrestled at Fresno State. He’s 10 years older than me. I used to hang on him when I was little and seeing you drill little drags and pass bys with your kiddos reminded me of that. I am Relatively new to CrossFit but I singled you out at the beginning because of your hard work and size. I now play professional volleyball and I am one of the shortest players on tour but that doesn’t stop me from competing at the highest level with nothing but passion and raw determination. Big fan my dude!

[@JoshBridges]

Christopher McDonald thank you for the story man, love hearing it!

[@hollywoodcf2810]

The part with the kids and the wrestling moves, priceless. Thanks for being a great inspiration. From Vet to Vet, thanks for your service.

[@guillaumedubois1476]

You're the kind of person who brings my motivation back when I'm tired, or when I just want to give up. I promise I'll pay the man for the rest of my life if it can makes me stronger.

[@JoshBridges]

Guillaume DUBOIS Hell yeah , get after it

[@SR104]

Background music was a bit high which made listening to the conversation a bit difficult.

[@JoshBridges]

yoreckable1 that’s what I like to hear! Thanks for the support

[@RadenMan]

Just a humble opinion. I think for future videos a closer camera view during the interviews could bee a better choice. Would make it more personal and make the viewers feel closer to you. Love the inspiration Josh, you are the man. Keep these videos coming!

[@JoshBridges]

Definitely man, thanks for the support and input

[@Fer10101]

The best part is when the music goes off and it's only training, the play with your kids and the chat with the cameraman. Excelent video! Thanks!

[@hellochainsaw]

This structuring is great, man. I’m really digging the idea of addressing a subject each episode, whether it’s about specific workouts or more broad life-integration stuff. The music is bangin’ too. Going from my favorite CrossFitter to my favorite KZbinr. What a badass.

[@JoshBridges]

You are inspiration for us my friend!!

[@JoshBridges]

snowman 35 thanks for your support

[@chefmikee3447]

One thing i did take note from this episode: "Paying the man" ain't always have to be in the middle of a workout. It's how you grind it out day by day, and getting things done. It's not only putting in the work at the gym, but putting in the work to make everything else in your life work! Another great content Josh! Keep 'em comin!

[@JoshBridges]

chef mikee spot on brother, Paying the man is about how you tackle life

[@ksingh8777]

Josh Bridges - sir you are the man. Thank you for making your videos. I lost myself and i lost that drive to go on. I started watching you in the crossfit games on youtube and you inspire me. You have made a difference in my life and everyday i watch your videos before i workout. Thank you very much. And if i had a million bucks i would be literally paying you cuz you are the man.

[@JoshBridges]

Kungal Bsingh thank you for sharing that, get after it!

Hey man thank you for your service your an amazing dude that puts out great vids after my 3rd deployment my unit ordered over $100000 of crossfit equipment I never got a chance to use any of it because I was in the middle of ETSing from the Army. Big Army was pushing for more crossfit in its ranks its a good over all workout to hit everything u need to in one pt session instead of just running or just calisthenics!!!!!

[@rodcarvalho4443]

Well Done, Josh! I´m from Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, and we love you very much here! For the most atlhetes here you are an idol, a hugh inspiration!
