I absolutely love the fact how his parents are so supportive and understanding of how much willpower, grit and consistency it takes to be an athlete at his level.

[@muscleandstrength]

Same here, very important

[@matt_gunz]

His parents are so supportive and awesome, what a very like-able bodybuilder 👏🏽

[@LoganMichaelRichard]

His father has some meaty forearms too

[@benpowers5942]

Carlos seems like an awesome dude. Pretty awesome how much his family supports him too.

[@dennismassegee5405]

Man we love Carlos and his father. Thanks for giving us a window into your journey. Great work man!

[@mikeziemkowski7828]

A very well crafted documentary about a really great bodybuilder. Best wishes for a very successful career!

[@muscleandstrength]

we appreciate that! he's a stud for sure

[@bison_life]

Well-spoken, a family man, got M & S behind his back supporting him throughout. Looking forward to his pro debut and seeing him make a statement for himself. What a fresh breath of air for the whole bodybuilding world.

[@Lift805]

I used to do the same thing on the treadmill ..cover the screen so I wouldn’t see the time. Makes it go by so much faster not knowing how much time has gone by ..pro tip 🔥🔥

[@muscleandstrength]

It really does help lol

[@bravesfan293147]

Bruh! You don't know how happy I was to FINALLY see a competitor from Wilmington, DE! They've been everywhere but our small state! So happy to see that and I wish Mr. Thomas all the best!

[@muscleandstrength]

Yes! Don’t forget about Fred Smalls as well! There is a solid scene in DE!

[@chriswalker562]

Carlos Thomas Jr is legit one of the most genuine & likable Athletes of our time! (Not just Bodybuilder!) He always has something insightfull & encouraging to share with the world, while staying humble at the same time. Always love to see content with him! 💯

[@gujjubodybuilderofficial]

Great video. Cinematography is just marvelous. More we need this kind of videos from you guys. I know hard to make but you will

[@muscleandstrength]

Thanks so much we are bringing this show back a bit more but we really have to have the right athlete to make it work this way. It’s not easy to give full access to our production team especially during prep

[@gujjubodybuilderofficial]

@@muscleandstrength yup definitely understandable. Also these videos cost a lot also nd through youtube won't generate that revenues. I watched your show before also with sadik 'whatever it takes to be' So try to make we will support u 👌👌👌

[@markhernandez3310]

I first saw Carlos thru nick strength and power and i became a fan of his physique but NOW that i see him in this documentary i have become a fan of him. He seems like a very good dude and his family are very good ppl. Can't wait to see him in stage,

[@muscleandstrength]

That’s awesome thanks so much for watching!

[@mikereynolds2313]

Wow what great parents, my step mom has always been like that, helping me with diet and prep. Great job on this mini doc. Easy man to root for

[@jessestyles5937]

Absolutely brilliant viewing. What quality people. All the best Carlos!

[@joshsauverwald5643]

Fantastic video! Definitely need more of this type! And full days of eating!

[@muscleandstrength]

More to come!🎉

[@I-Teee]

Thank you M&S for the time and effort put into this. Very well done, and it helped me through yet another meal.

[@muscleandstrength]

Thank you for watching and supporting!

[@thehonestsydneyfoodblogger6784]

fast becoming one of my favorites in the sport. He's very humble, kind, reflective and intelligent, which isnt a suprise as its just a reflection of his parents. lucky to have such an amazing support system. his mum is a sweetheart haha

[@cameronclarke7028]

I like that sweater ! Can’t fake real strength. It’s like the skate park, nobody shows up on their first day doing crazy tricks. It takes time and dedication 🔥💯💪

[@lukasulmer7989]

It’s from Tim budesheim . A German bodybuilder

[@phuketprivateisland441]

Very impressive young man. Great team around him and wonderful family support. Always stay hungry and humble Carlos.

[@dans7386]

Keep up the great work brother. Massive admiration to you and your family for being amazingly loving people 🙌

[@Shreadington]

Great content! I know exactly what he's talking about. I'm 45 and one week out from the Masters Regionals. The suffering was worth it. Gotta go to some dark places in your mind to push through. I'm fat free/peeled right now and ready for the show. I'm excited for it to be here and excited to get to the rebound phase.

[@muscleandstrength]

Awesome best of luck with your contest as well!

[@mikereynolds2313]

Right on bro...I just turned 41 and I know thr struggle of prep at this age. Best of luck to you.

[@Shreadington]

@@mikereynolds2313 thank you Sir! I'm peeled and ready.

[@saketnathmishra5008]

Very well made, great insight into his life. Awesome

[@muscleandstrength]

Thanks for watching and commenting glad you enjoyed this one. Definitely was a really cool project to make

[@nainoa2323]

Not even a 6 pack with all those veins and muscles. Some people are just born to be the top bodybuilders

[@p-anilsson6306]

Excellent movie and i am sure we Have been looking at a future Mr O✊✊

[@PhysiquePete]

8 weeks out and can relate to a lot of this documentary. Boxing yourself in and turning it into you vs you is a bitter sweet necessity.

[@muscleandstrength]

You got this bro! Trust the process and enjoy the journey

[@rahulnaik6792]

Loved the video!v Documentary Style!!

[@muscleandstrength]

Glad to hear it thanks for watching !

[@ahgtrell]

Very Inspiring

[@AadilCuts]

All the best Carlos. you are awesome

[@user-zr7rc8xg9k]

I grew up destitute and an orphan in state custody..but this really inspired me..💯

[@serbiansauvage]

This man has the capabilities to be the next Phil Heath, both in physique and accomplishments.

[@marthepedersen1454]

but phil has no shoulders, and he are very short, phil are just extremely overrated, and he are also very weak

[@jeffreymcgonigal8699]

This was a great video. I like getting to know good people like Carlos. I have him winning his next show. Thanks for the video.

[@muscleandstrength]

Really appreciate the comment and super glad you enjoyed the content !

[@ReactionsWithTeefoooo]

Bro is looking amazing!!!

[@HercTheJerk]

This was great. He has a new fan! The articulation of Phil Heath and the physique of a lean Johnnie Jackson

[@Sneedl-Woods]

great guy!

[@bluedeparture]

Wow what amazing motivational video guys more like these 🫡💪🏽💪🏽

[@muscleandstrength]

We are going to be doing more for sure thanks so much for the support!!

[@miguelito29229]

Body building is so badass it takes a special kind of person to this and wanting to to this

[@muscleandstrength]

Sure does. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Oh my god not this again 🙄

[@2legofreak]

His legs are just huge.. he looks great even at a few weeks out.. His vascular is insane

[@avishkaliyanagedara6545]

Sheesh🔥🔥

[@robertbegatto]

Gym in New Castle Delaware! I grew up there and Biggie Fred Smalls gym!! Carlos is Great!

[@muscleandstrength]

Yes!! We had a great time visiting DE .

[@WilfredoRodriguez-ww6nq]

Carlos thomas tenes un buen ficico lo beo desde nicaragua

[@leigh_carmichael]

I remember he had a fluid retention problem leading into his pro card win. He did actually put some blame on Patrick his coach at the time. Eventually dropping him at just over a week out. I guess now we know why he was holding water. Hope he nails Texas ✊

[@chunkironchest]

Cool parents! I remember mine seeing my Weider Mass Gainer 4000 and throwing it out. 😅Good luck Carlos!

[@muscleandstrength]

Lol the first encounter any parents have with supplements is always a hilarious story to talk about later on. My mom flipped when she found creatine in my room when I was In high school 😂

[@lindafargo2203]

My dad discouraged me from lifting weights. He told me I would get muscle bound so that I couldn't even touch my back. That's how I thought about algebra. When in real life are you going to have to touch the middle of your back?

[@Mrknownoting.]

I have ulcerative colitis. I feel for you man. It’s a horrible autoimmune disease.

[@muscleandstrength]

It really is challenging, the unexpected flare ups are pretty terrifying.

[@RedSkullTraining]

Same, I feel a bond with everyone suffering from UC. Nobody knows how challenging our everyday life is.

[@LeeDaHitman]

dad looks jacked too lol 💪🏾

[@muscleandstrength]

For sure lol

[@titusmariner9863]

💪💛

[@tajjones6935]

As soon as I saw his Pops, I could see where the bodybuilding genetics came from 💪🏽😂

[@joshuaturner6882]

Love his parents!

[@Airooonsteeer]

He's got everything it takes to be the future of bb

[@fitnytech]

Don’t forget… healthy looks different on every body. 🙌

[@IDiggPattyMayonnaise]

I honestly believe Samson is the next Mr O after Hadi in maybe 2 years, but after that Carlos is that dude. It's gonna be between Sam sand Carlos for years. Just incredible progress and mass that no one can touch

[@muscleandstrength]

He’s got a great future ahead

[@SCENTsoryOverload]

302!! Lol... Good luck with your endeavors Carlos & Kyle

[@bravesfan293147]

Being from DE, it was a pleasure to see Muscle and Strength come to our small state...I was so happy!

[@SCENTsoryOverload]

@@bravesfan293147 that's exactly how I feel. DE is often overlooked lol

[@guifengxu850]

Best Front double biceps 2023🏆

[@adamstacharowski5231]

Your parents are incredible

[@muscleandstrength]

So supportive!

[@ApostolosKatsioulas]

Pursue what's meaningful not what is expedient. I mean, bodybuilding gives meaning to any bodybuilder therefore he/she must dedicate all to it. Goals differ; we all are unique. Life is suffering. Sorry, but JP speaks the harsh truth and I had to quote him. I wish him all the best overall and for the Texas Pro.

[@Tenthirty5]

How far out is this from TX Pro?

[@muscleandstrength]

We filmed this just under 5 weeks out

[@2Grsemnky]

How did he get rid of his fluid retention?

[@muscleandstrength]

Most likely pulled water several days leading into the show and manipulated his carb timing.

[@boboliveira3722]

CT Jr. Will most definitely be a multi-yr. Mr.O

[@rfjohns4452]

Get into the movies with his huge bulk as a shorter but faster Terminator going after old Arnold.

[@charlesdean640]

Dude's hamstring is bigger than my torso. Cant wait to see him at the Olympia.

[@muscleandstrength]

Lol his legs are wild

[@mvp1116]

I have never seen anyone who lives in Delaware😂..Carlos is going to some damage at Texas

[@chaosgym]

This Guy Looks Like a Younger Version of Jonny Jackson in some Angles.. greetings From Germany

[@muscleandstrength]

I can see that - 3D muscle groups that just look unreal at specific angles . Traps definitely remind me a bit of JoJ

[@Amanda.c91]

I could watch those legs walk alllll day😍

[@fabbi9548]

I have hammie envy now. ☺️

[@muscleandstrength]

Lol same

[@user-ns9zw4sr6u]

Jeez legs on the guy

[@lukedecelis3090]

This doc feels reminiscent of pre MrO phil heath

[@ashergreen9093]

Shout out his parents, they are a strong team!

[@muscleandstrength]

They really are amazing people. Love the support he has .

[@ichbindoofhihi1]

lol Tim Budenheim Hoodie

[@muscleandstrength]

That's a dope hoodie!

[@Botecoprime-om8le]

Ok

[@liamtuohy1183]

Johnnie Jackson vibes.. but better 🙌🏆

[@2K9s]

Genetic methylation tests might help pinpoint his uc?

[@ziaihlloyd5206]

I know this video is kinda old but why can't he eat sushi most of it is rice and fish so definitely high protein and good fats and carbs in some of it .

[@mikelsales3599]

Bodybuilding is basically who can starve themselves the most 🤣well at least during prep that’s the case

[@muscleandstrength]

It’s pretty brutal - especially if you are dealing with other things that impact your daily qualify of life. His battle with colitis has been tough this year but we are rooting for him.

[@bjrnnrjb2898]

All worth it ? is it really? is this really work risking having a heart attack due an enlarged heart , Messed up liver and misfunctioning kidneys?

[@robertprince2651]

He resembles Johnny Jackson a bit; I see a breakout athlete honestly.

[@moshack]

I don’t think he needs that much size on his frame. His thighs are too big. Overall proportions need to be dialed in. Less bulk more conditioning. IMO.

[@muscleandstrength]

Yeah definitely more of a fine tuning situation I’d say than needing mass
