The Bodybuilder's Burden

[@JP-1990]

"The day you start lifting is the day you become small forever." - Dom Mazetti

[@chris_1988]

*"The day you started lifting is the day you became forever small." It's weird how that phrase stuck with me ever since hearing it for the first and only time all those years ago. A true philosopher.

[@Sixtra]

That’s what I call true poetry people 🙏🏻 “Stay buff” 💪

[@drewnibrow]

That’s a damn good Werner Herzog impression!

[@travisgore2916]

That!! Was so good! I'm in my 40s and the line "Constantly chased but never fully owned" is so relatable. So True!

[@LoreCraft]

Glorious, my dudes. Epic.

[@buffdudes]

Thank you 💪

[@sheriffflynn]

Damn. That hit pretty hard. I'm just gearing up for week 15 and I feel that. Thanks as always, Buff Dudes.

[@diyduke]

Awesome video And one must remember, it is the journey, not the destination because the destination is well... I think I'll re-watch Grizzly Man now.

[@zilla8232]

The narator is phenomenal!

[@MyketheCorpsman]

Have i got series of books for you with that quote ."Life before death. Strength before weakness. Journey before destination." Brandon Sanderson, The Way of Kings. great fucking series btw

[@diyduke]

@@MyketheCorpsman sounds super good

[@jsilk0807]

Whoa. I'm honestly holding back a tear.😢

[@user-vl8fb1gu6k]

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

[@ionvash]

Good men, the last wave by crying how bright their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay...

[@lorddeathspit1124]

Enjoy your youth bros. Training will eventually go from doing it to look good to simply keeping yourself together. Father Time remains undefeated.

[@yuvalomrad7090]

I hate father time. He stole my youth

[@lorddeathspit1124]

@@yuvalomrad7090 mine as well

[@rpgfoods1457]

boooo

[@AndrewDembouski]

The Pump will fade, but the weights will remain. Deep.

[@magicofactuality]

Not just bodybuilding, but any pursuit we undertake to give meaning to this light between two eternal darkness. It'll all fade in the end. Great video (and great Herzog impression). The Buff Dudes are wise!

[@haniobeidi849]

Finally, life is not life with Buff dudes videos

[@juliusseizure324]

The Werner Herzog dialogue was so choice!

[@benjamartinez704]

Thats right.. thats life and thats lifting.. and once i reach the end of My life. I would do it all again.. cause the passion and glory of the irons simply can't and won't be denied. Thanks for always speaking the truth guys

[@Jookken]

thank you for all the years full of entertainment and inspiration - stay buff!

[@FrederickTSchurgerDC]

This is beautiful. Well said. I think you have a poster in the making with this to put in your store. The hard part will be choosing just a few of the greats to put on it!!

[@Minkjaah]

Initialy it made me sad. I always have a hard time accepting the fact father time will stay unbeaten. But in the end, my thought went, to appreciate al the times, years and reps I already did, and going to do. That I will be able to do. A great reminder to also be happy with the fact where I'm at in my gym journey. Desires of becoming Bigger, leaner, stronger, fitter; one day it will fade. So be proud of today and what you already achived my Bro's!

[@shaivayogi]

This made me smile, made me solemn, and made me think. Nice one, guys 👍🏼

[@adamf2402]

I’m so thankful you guys still make videos you’re the whole reason I got into lifting 7 years ago, now I compete on national stages for powerlifting, but these guys gave me the confidence to lift in the first place ❤️

[@johnmarston16]

Beautiful video guys. Been following your work for about a decade, you've been a huge inspiration along with other KZbinrs like Scooby1961. Life is an inevitable cycle of growth and decay, but we live on through the people we teach. I was a young guy when I started watching, 30 now and I've been lucky enough to mentor a few guys into the temple of iron. It's difficult to see the legends grow old and feeble but it's up to us to take on the mantle for the next generation so they have heroes to look up to. This is life and it's wonderful.

[@Redbull_5757]

I don't know how else to say it, that was beautiful 😢

[@hampespelar6198]

This was simply beautiful😢

[@patricksteidl1466]

Thank you for everything, you two!

[@22fx64]

This makes me appreciate my training journey even more.. It's beautiful

[@watsonkushmaster3067]

Great one...on a positive note, we will still be more jacked than everybody else our age even at 70 so...

[@Wayseller]

Amazing. Choosing Werner Herzog as the narrator is a boss move.

[@JPWick]

I was expecting some goofy skit... this was poetic!

[@IZG]

So true, it really touches your heart. We know in this life we are doomed to return to earth from were we came yet we do our best with the little time we have to live the best life we can.

[@sarahinsf]

Beautifully crafted with a touch of narration humor... Lift on!

[@GoatsCraftVLOGSwastaken]

You guys are just...amazing! Seriously you two remind me of me and my brother! We need more influences like yall

[@Striker_242]

That shit hits hard

[@mugendesu6977]

Thanks!

[@buffdudes]

Thank YOU 💪

[@matthewneville79]

Every session spent in the gym extends our lives just a little bit more. I'd rather suffer the pain of lifting heavy weights than my loved ones suffer the loss of me leaving too soon.

[@RobBlanzy]

Incredible video, thanks fellas.

[@zachbrown5264]

When Buff Dudes get philosophic, we rejoice.

[@heavyq]

I love when you guys do videos like this.

[@Alexh650]

Beautifully done. My hats off to you gentlemen.

[@soldierhobo1]

This may be your best video ever. Motivating..

[@themailman3331]

Father Time comes for all of us ladies and gentlemen. That’s why it’s the journey and not the destination.

[@Ann-gl2gu]

It’s about making the house you go through time in, the best it can be at that moment

[@kennethmartinez1167]

I spent the whole video waiting fof the punch line and instead just learned about life. Well done

[@davidellis7011]

Fantastic! the evolution of your content is pretty damn impressive.

[@jubbles]

Damn, Werner... 😭

[@jptrgoddess]

Woooow! Yall are looking kinda serious now. Goodness gracious.

[@jfeezee]

I love this. I definitely see the message here 💪😉

[@JoJo-ds2ly]

Gee, thanks for all that inevitable motivation I guess. Sure can’t wait to lift some weights now.

[@manuelmaldonado3304]

And the Emmy for best documentary goes the buff dudes

[@eduardoortiz8657]

Que hermosas palabras 💪🏻

[@JoeMazzolaTheFirstPersonCook]

This has big "Let this sermon be consolation to those who read it that are destined to die" energy

[@brandonperkins176]

I feel it everyday and live the life of a bodybuilder

[@baxtertribe9825]

Well played sirs, well played 🍻💪🏾

[@georgealexandermansfield5825]

“The bro is not free from pain, not free from disappointment, nor free from failure. The bro knows well the struggles that come with fear and self-doubt, even despair. But, the bro knows there can be no victory won without sacrifice, so the bros do not go gently into that quiet night, but rage against the dying of the light."

[@adrianayon5513]

wow beautiful!! bros for life, lets get that pump in!!

[@maximegiroux4143]

Beautiful

[@jean-sebastienrichard7564]

Wow! Poetry of the truth! An amazing sport with devastating effects... Like too many, i am paying the price of 25 years of bodybuilding with a crippled spine for the rest of my life. At least, i am still alive!!!!!!!!!!

[@hyugahyuga3761]

I only recently realized how much bad eating and low testosterone affect motivation. The book ‘You Are Stronger Than You Think’ by Borlest really helped me turn things around. I’m already seeing results!

the time spend lifting with friends and competing with each other is time well spend

My gains will be more depressing than ever! Still, I'll never stop.

[@TylerDurden-td2yg]

Werner Herzog? 😂😂

[@TheNicosmik]

Look for what is in the present and forever

[@ScubaSteve1990]

About 10 months ago, I was overweight and lacked all motivation. Now I train twice a day, 5 days a week. I have lost over 50lbs and completely changed my physique from overweight and unhealthy to all natural body builder. I absolutely love getting in the gym and always looked up to the greats like Schwarzenegger, Coleman, and Furrigno. All I gotta say is that this video hits hard and It really puts things into perspective. Great job Buff Dudes!

[@santoshundi9656]

So true
