How To Get Motivated

[@Hussainn27]

Steve the type of dude to motivate himself before taking a shit

[@ZachandTee]

Realest dude in the fitness industry

[@ferencbathory9674]

If you ever need motivation just remember that 90% of your fans are getting to the gym after working 9-5 jobs or people going to school trying to figure out how they can afford a good meal plan. You earned an amazing life for yourself, keep on top. Remember "the lion on top of the hill" story from Pumping Iron. Most of us would kill a man to be in your position. Take advantage bro!

[@lukepeebs6672]

oh snap good speech brah

[@TheShortyJ101]

Ferenc Bathory this.

[@nbka8rs]

Sometimes when you have tons of great experiences lined up one after another, in your case all of that awesome travel with your chick, it can be hard to go back to "normal" routine. Just gotta remember that those amazing experiences can only happen cause you work hard the rest of the time. Keep it up Steve you're an inspiration even when you have days, it just makes you more relatable (except for the badass physique)

[@mohammedsaadboutabssil9800]

nbka8rs so true

[@wettersocks]

good reminder

[@dogdog655]

Steves the kinda guy to value our opinions

[@jiwonbaeqdp]

Haha Dog Dog just came fresh off CG's comments section

[@rayyanhashmi5745]

When you care about a person, you automatically transmit their energies into yourself. I think that's the reason why both of you are feeling this way.Just either one of you gets all hyped & happy and then it's show time! ❤

[@kevincragwell3220]

Hey Steve, this vlog is exactly why I follow you. You keep it real. And your not afraid , or too self absorbed, to admit that you have these moments of struggle... which we ALL have. Its at these times that we have to find a quiet space (mentally), recognize where we are; acknowledge it; and then...make a move. Doesn't really matter where, just move...towards one of your goals. Even if it's out of sequence, the mere fact that you take that step towards something on your list is movement forward...and then you take another...and so on. Pretty soon you will find you've reagained stride again. While i'm sure you do, take comfort in knowing that you have a loving partner who is there for you through thick and thin....seriously. There is nothing like having a partner who not only loves you, but has your back as well. Keep your eye on the prize Steve. Take care

[@jakefulk2522]

Steve, I met you one year ago in Utah. I had the shittiest day and all I wanted to do is go to the gym. I went into vasa fitness and you came out of the locker room with the biggest smile on your face. You knew that I recognized you and you wanted to meet me. I'll honesty never forget that day! I'll be watching your channel for how ever long you have a channel. You inspire so many people and I'm glad I'm one of those indiciduals. Sure, shit gets stressful. But you know what I do when I get stressed out...Watch a Steve Cook video. Keep on making the world a better place my dude!

[@simonwhittingham7942]

Welcome back!! Missed your positive attitude and motivation over the past week.

[@ZachGonringVlogs]

It will all fall into place Steve, step by step brother!!

[@aurelianocamargo5]

Steves the type of guy to actually be nice to fans

[@brandonkilbride277]

You guys explained me and my girlfriends life exactly in this video. Normally I am super motivated and spend all of my days grinding to achieve my massive goals. You literally hit at home with me in this video. I've been SO exhausted and feeling like a robot. We hold ourselves to such high standards that it's easy for her and I to get disappointed in ourselves. You will get back into it my man. Stay strong!!

[@joshwinscott01]

Dude I've been feeling the same way the last month then I told myself to get over it and realize how far you've come. So that you keep going.

[@hunteryawn2554]

I like the honesty brother. I can relate

[@AThomasKent]

Literally where I am right now too, this was good to watch

[@ParchedSawedOff]

I went on a spring break trip a while back and it messed me up for a couple weeks. I just didn't feel the same after. A lot of stuff happened and I was thrown off track of where I was at before it. The thing that worked for me was sitting down and making peace with what happened and then setting little goals to get back on track

[@carlylizfit9899]

totally agree!

[@leenicol2240]

I can tell by the title it's an instant like! Good to have you back!

[@cameronpineda6993]

Thanks for being my motivation Steve. Just keep fighting everything will fall into place.

[@grantsmith8964]

Steve you rock man, everyone gets those stressful times in life where everything just seems like too much but you'll get through it you've come too far for these things to weight you down.

[@chrisw6879]

This vid spoke to me. Going through med school exams atm so super stressed; eating shit and struggling to get to the gym. Good to know even the best have times like this and so encouraging to see you using the same strategies. One day at a time!

[@MrJagsy4]

You got this man! I cracked up at your song before the car. Been there done that bro.... you have sooooo much to be thankful for, lean on that. You have Courtney.

[@MrJIGSAW518]

Keep your head up Steve:) Thanks for the daily dose of motivation!

[@godsgirl248]

When I am weak He is strong! When I need motivation I pray throughout the whole workout and The Lord always comes through...even when it comes to a simple workout! Good luck Steve!

[@tilfailurefitness4880]

Believing in You Steve has really inspired us to start our own channel, come check us out and let us know what you think! Any feedback would be awesome!

[@hanacounts595]

You guys are seriously the cutest!! Motivation is a rough one when your really not feeling it, but for sure working out with a partner helps so much and trying out new workouts!

[@davespark10]

What? Steves a human being? and here i thought he was a perfect unicorn lol hahahaha this video was so awesome!!! so real 😂

[@ElephantWhisperer222]

Steve the kind of guy to give Courtney a motivational speech before sex

[@jonathanlluch551]

that's their foreplay. They both get turned on with motivational words.

[@jtbodybuilding3090]

Conner Cox dude.. LOL...

[@benjagaete2695]

Conner Cox You stole that from the comment from the Christian Guzman video

[@ElephantWhisperer222]

Mike Will lol savage

[@jtbodybuilding3090]

Conner Cox I like Steve.. but now, the videos are just boring.. nothing to look forward to..

[@chasinghappiness698]

I feel the same way dude, hope everything gets better!!! And thank you for that energy you gave out!

[@OfficialSnagVideos]

Love that you stay REAL!

[@territrue]

Steve, you're killing me, man! This video was hi-freaking-larious. Thank you for your honesty, though. I feel you, brother. That was so me last week.

[@rossmirga]

Videos like this allow people to see that even people like Steve have their bad days. Amazing how a gym session can better your mood.

[@eSa7aNe]

Even when you re not the most motivated person, you give me motivation to keep going and keep seeking my best. Thanks steve for always being cristal clear and telling us how things actually are. You re such a great inspiration, thanks again

[@fasariburgess7249]

Thank you both for being human. For being real people.

[@TrueLivingFitness]

Hang in there brotha! Your a huge role model and mentor to people world wide!! Including myself. You've added many years to peoples lives by keeping them out of the hospital. Stay up brotha 🙌🙌🙌👊👊👊

[@satelite990]

I said it before I'll say it again. Post vacation blues is a real thing don't care what anybody tell me.

[@logdans]

Steve..if this could make you happy...i just wanna say thank you for change my life...inside and out. Your clips on youtube make a me smile,to listen have the energy to life to the fullest... to belive...that i could reach my goals. THANKS MAN

[@markshedrawy9447]

Nice to see you back on Steve. But i have to say the distance between you and your goals is ACTION...Keep the push thru it.

[@riotstarterdj6256]

Yes you're back. I'm having the same problems lately spurts of motivation then boom I'm down and so negative. Glad you're OK through.

[@dannytmusic7427]

Love you Steve ! You keep motivating me. It's my turn ! You got this Man !!!!! Go hard. !

[@ThePixelsParadox]

you're always so positive steve it's reassuring for us to see you unhappy time to time

[@mossy8273]

Dont worry brother i always feel like this after holidays ,i just watch more of your videos and they pump me up to get back into it ,bugger it just come back to Australia and enjoy the easier life ,good luck guys it will work out .

[@AustinMartin-sr1nh]

Hoping to see a summer shred series. Everyone gets into a rut and I'm glad to see you pushing through and climbing the ladder of success. Thank you Steve for providing lifestyle, nutrition, and exercise advice. Keep up the great work boss!

[@jeremyvenn4061]

Finally Steve we all have missed you! You were busy getting content likely!

[@vivekbanerjee8752]

Started the "Big Man On Campus" workout plan for the fourth time and it's my fourth and final year at college!!!

[@natalienewhart.health]

That was like my favorite youtube vlog video ever! loved it, thanks for the laugh and being real

[@darthvader4867]

I write my goals down in a notebook. I have short term goals for the week, mid term goals for the month, long term goals for the year. I get motivated and I stay focused when I can see my goals on paper and I just tick them off one after another. It's my way of dealing with a lack of motivation. I do that a lot with my workout routines also.

[@wonderfulfitlifeofelio]

Just remember why you started in the first place take away all the stuff that is being going in your mind and just go to the gym, or outside and work out. A full body workout sometimes helps to get back in the game instead of going with your regular split workout. Either way great to come back steve. Much respect

[@Nah-ah]

Lmao! I've been feeling this way (unmotivated) for the past, almost 4 years! 🤦🏾‍♀️ I used to run twice a day for 2 hrs, 4 times a week, and strength training 3 times a wk. Every now and then Then I'd throw yoga in for the weekend.....BUT then I started work at home and that's when things went downhill! I've since gained 10lbs since...! It's not as bad but yeah, I need motivation and almost 4 yrs IS BAD!!! I'm glad I watched this because it's good to see that I'm not the only one who struggles with motivation! Thanks for the video...totally needed it and glad to see you both support each other, back in the gym!

[@TonyWhackJr]

It's called a vacation brother. No flights anywhere, no worrying about anything. Just take a couple days or so to yourself, worry about absolutely nothing. Use the time to clear your head & you will get back on track with fresh thinking. Your mind, mentality, & body will thank you for it. Otherwise, keep up the great work w/the motivational videos!

[@ClayFleming]

Feeling the same exact way ever since I started traveling for work 2 weeks ago. Really needed this! Thanks Steve!

[@andrewwheaton121]

Love when the vlogs are real like this my man. Thanks for sharing and keep that head strong baby.

[@daraflynn5999]

King Cook is back! The last few days hasn't been the same without you uploading. Every night I found myself refreshing the home page in the hope that a fresh vid would pop up. We all understand you needed a break Steve, you have been spoiling us with regular uploads we are not worthy of. Let's keep smashing it. Last set best set. We are all big lads. Peace

[@iTopLeaderboards]

I've been going through a life changing time lately and it's all about getting up and doing something that makes your situation just a little bit better

[@jazzrattana1331]

About goddamn time. That's exactly what I'm feeling right now. But that's okay because it's temporary, you'll be fine. And to Courtney, I love you so much and I love your videos. They're so useful. Thanks!

[@Oscar__Davison]

Nice to have you back Steve

[@WvPGaming]

That post cycle depression is real.

[@llomax1067]

Mmmmmmmaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnn you were so talking to me...... I've been sick for about 3 weeks..... Finally back to 100 percent..... Haven't ate right or worked out..... Today was my first day back in the gym...... But this morning was super tough...... Appreciate the inspiration and motivation brother

[@elizabethconnelly272]

Loved this Steve!! I was literally giggling the last few minutes!! So good, so funny! Thx for the motivation! Oh, and I ADORE your girl!

[@taco564]

This is the perfect upload time. I'm 6 weeks out and all of a sudden i'm just off point. I'm not hitting macros, and my workouts aren't the best. I'm going to focus on your tips and make a comeback

[@JustAlexN.]

Steve!! When in doubt workout!!! The pump is the key!!

[@kishorieweingart2387]

Thank you, Steve for sharing this. We all have these days and can sympathize. You're not always going to be motivated, and I feel like many KZbinrs will only share the good days they have and not the ones where they feel like crap. But honestly, great athletes have many "crappy feeling" days because they train A LOT. Success is the accumulation of your training-the main thing is to keep consistently pushing towards that goal. Right on for going to the gym although motivation is low. Its about keeping/building habits sometimes.

[@nicoledorn8953]

Oh I needed to see this😂 My husband and I just came back from a wonderful vacation and getting back into the gym life was a struggle bus for sure! The burn out between work, gym, and life before the vacation was obnoxious and we needed a break! Now time to wrap up old goals, make new ones and get shit done! I would've laughed at the bird poop, because ya know things can always be so much worse!

[@thomasq9181]

Thanks for keeping it real! It's all a learning experience, embrace it and know you will be stronger from it. Much respect!👍

[@BlaneSimsFitness]

It's good to see you back Steve!

[@stevenrivera244]

you the man Steve! I know how it can be hard to stay motivated especially when so many people look to you for inspiration but it's good to see you're at least trying to do something about it. Kudos to Courtney for being by your side I'm sure it works vice versa. Hope you came out of that slump time to get back on the grind and kill it bro!

[@mathiasdyb1057]

Died at 5:00 😂 Feel you, Steve! Hope you get your motivation back soon

[@dteun]

my first comment on your Chanel Steve you are a genuine person and got me motivated a lot of times ..thank you for your work ,effort for what you put out only positive. Rock on

[@phuochoang1608]

so happy that u posted this video

[@behzadgolchini5367]

Glad to see u back!

[@Max_Bond_]

Thanks Steve I got sick recently for a week and after losing a bunch of weight (being gains) I haven't been motivated at all ps I knew listening to you would get my ass in gear again before even clicking on this video.

[@jamesmedrano1454]

You have to remind yourself like you've said in your other videos that you can still be at the bottom instead of where you are now. You are a success and help many many people, so don't beat yourself up man. Really really enjoy your videos Steve. Chin up bro, things can always be a whole lot worse

[@jamesmedrano1454]

Oh haha I commented mid video and you give yourself advice during the vlog lol, but you hit the nail right on the head, it could always be worse so count your blessings and push your ass forward!

[@mitchperkins1922]

Thank you for putting a video out on my birthday! it's truly all I could ever ask for!

[@mr.mendez9906]

C'mon Steve. A Breath of fresh Air is always what everyone needs. This just means you got that Vacation that u needed.

[@seanyoung1658]

good to see this side of you steve it shows that being motivated can be hard even to the best individuals. keep up the good work mate. much love from oz

[@CriticalThinking88]

I didn't just get back from globetrotting like you, but I am also stressed and frustrated that the projects I'm working on aren't getting the results I want. The struggle is real, I feel your pain.

[@CMOOREtbay]

You guys are always going at 200% it is probably good to step back and chill... it is all in the mind. As soon as you find your own place you will better. And damn dude don't blame that girl for being awesome😀

[@kjz8774]

Steve you're in that place where we all have been at one point in our life, it's time to readjust your priorities and get moving. Plus you have all of us in the Big/Lean Programs to motivate you...

[@FitLegoGuy]

looking forward to summer shred with Steve!

[@chriswilliams5778]

Perfect timing for the video man I have been feeling the exact same way the past few weeks it's nice to see successful people go through it too haha.

[@maafmartialartandfitness1313]

Steve I've been going through the same thing! The last 3 weeks have been tough but I've had my first KZbin break but this week I'm also back and this video has come at the right time it's hard when you feel like you have to always be at 100% but to see even the people I look up to go through similar things, thanks for being real 🙂

[@maafmartialartandfitness1313]

Wtf!! I binged on 13 reasons why this week to!! I also sing in rhyme as well! ... "did we just be one best friends!"

[@maafmartialartandfitness1313]

I'm back on the KZbin hype this week guys after my first break we are back go check us out! 👍

[@JakobStrand]

Steve... thanks for this video. I neede this as well. 1 thing I do when I feel like dog shit is that I every night before bed write a list of everything in my life I´m grateful for. It might seem like a tiny thing to do but it really helps getting perspective on things and gets you quite humble.

[@Alliesalasvesely]

Steve, this video couldn't have come at a more perfect time. I too have lost motivation and am stressed. Watching your video is a reminder that LIFE HAPPENS, WE ARE ALL HUMAN! So thank you for being honest because I needed to hear that even someone as successful as you loses motivation!

[@harleyyavuz]

Hey Steve, glad you're back!! Having trouble getting motivation to go to the gym. Check out Arnold Schwarzenegger: The Pump [HD], always makes me laugh and want to go. If life is getting too much, go to a place like a forest or desert or a hill, and go exploring, leave your phone at home and disappear for the day. Thats my advice! Beats sitting at home watching T.V.

[@mortenandersen6108]

This was in its own kind of way the funniest fitness video I've seen in a long time :D And don't worry Steve, you'll be back on your A game in no time.

[@willburke7969]

This was the greatest video ever, been feeling same way....power through!

[@murphthesmurf770]

We all lose motivation it's alright Steve just look past it toward the future.

[@EnjoyKarmaIsKing]

best advice for the stress is just by taking things little by little and not thinking about all of the stuff that needs to be done. Think about one thing at a time so it isn't over whelming

[@romeupinho]

Following Big Man On Campus workout plan for the second time !!!

[@Veslanjejezivot]

Romeu Pinho How is the program? Could you share one training with us? I'm curious to see which principles are applied and might sign up for the next one.

[@danielwebster9214]

Feeling you on the lack of motivation and stress in life!

[@typatterson3047]

Steve, do you remember that commercial you filmed for the new Optimum Nutrition Platinum pre workout? I still watch that to this day and it still helps me more than you know. Without these low times, we wouldn't be able to enjoy or maybe even recognize the great times. keep your head up. You are a genuine person and good things are coming your way. Also be nice to Courtney! doing something romantic and completely random for her! I promise making her smile, will make you smile! keep it up man. -Ty

[@snake_bitten]

HE'S BACK! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@neoprimed]

You motivate me! King of KZbin fitness

[@BrennanEarl]

Quit beating yourself up over this. Just live your life and remember why you do what you do. None of us will ever be perfect so quit stressing about slipping up here and there.

[@anthonysingh7092]

Always have to find that reason, reason why you started. Keep pushing!

[@adityavirivinti]

that's one of the best video i have watched on your channel Steve .. getting angry on self is sometimes good

[@emiliaq3592]

this is like the best video you've made ever! 😄 I dunno why, maybe it's the total honesty and it does get to the point where it's like 'walk to car. get in car. drive to gym' lmao life reality right there 👍

[@Tommy_Unders]

its not a lack of motivation Steve, this is what happens after you come off the contest diet and "supps", anyone that competes goes through it. Best of luck ! it wont be long till you feel back to normal

[@michaelrogers5330]

I'm right there with you. Need the motivation to stay at it.

[@Myrvoldcoaching]

your motivation for 10000 of people in the world, and your the greatest fitness person out there in the industri. Much love :D

[@SkilletRks]

😂😂😂steve cook new album is lit!!! (him vent rapping his issues) love you dude I do that too

[@1rickopotamus]

[@Jboltzz]

Love the humor in this Steve & your gf funny too lol
