The Meet I Dedicated To My Brother - R.I.P. Maddog | Flashback Friday 13

[@kyerans]

Mad dog would be so proud of everything you have achieved and the man you have become

[@lauracerva9716]

Hi. I started watching your podcast in the past year. My respect for you grows by the day. You are making a difference in this world in many ways. Also it was good to see this video. You look awesome now as well!

[@Dude0351]

My father passed away two years from cancer. Today would have been his 55th birthday. This video was exactly what I needed. It always helps to know you’re not the only one that goes through hard times. Bless you Mark and your family. Bless your brother in heaven.

[@armwrestling6539]

Everyone in the bell family is a GOAT.

[@armwrestling6539]

@Reality Programmer Yeah man. It's touching when I listen to mark talk about it too, you can hear the pain in his voice and how he's trying to hold back the tears and he keeps a smile on his face.

[@joeybarcelos1025]

Me and my brother suffer from this my brothers doing pretty good but I tend to go into isolation and beat my own ass mentally I've achieved some great things but that bipolar shit always progresses I try not to make excuses always trying to stand back up always get strong again I know I'll hit some sort of peak then shit comes crashing down again I'm seeking therapy before I die alone I'm a pretty cool dude I know my potential i also compete in strongman hopefully it all works out because regardless of whatever illness I have I will die doing what I love I always remained goal oriented I will never quit trying I don't exactly understand why things are this way it wasn't always like this but I know I have a heart of a champion. Thank you for the motivation I look up to you a lot I'm in Sacramento I need to make it out to west sac to train with you sometime. Your brother is definitely proud of the great man you are. Keep up the good work

[@darrellcampbell9229]

Rest in peace Mike Bell. ✝️

[@abdullahijaz92]

So sorry for your loss Mark. Maddog would surely be proud of how his little brother pulled himself from such a blow and succeed!!

[@SPTsystems]

Absolute tunes playing

[@Brentqvaleenjoyer]

Mark, your philosophy on how to best honor those who’ve passed is something that I’ve found to be very helpful when dealing with death. Taking that persons best quality, and trying to mimic it in yourself. It’s a great way to stay positive in a shitty situation.

[@benjaminthornton1919]

Had heard this story before. It touches me every time.

[@chriselms923]

Mark Ive been around a long time, You look so much healthier at this weight. Your brother would be proud.

[@ZodiacKillerGaming]

It’s always nice to see guys like mark being real, humble and just wanting to make the world a better place. The entire bell family is what we should all try to strive for as Americans.... helping each other through thick and thin.

[@claytonboatman367]

My sister is in prison, she is bipolar and has had drug and alcohol problems for a long time. To be honest I’ve had a to of hatred for who she has become. Felt like you were speaking directly to me. Thanks for sharing, it makes a difference.

[@snackpakk_3287]

Mark, I got the complete wrong impression of you at first. You are an awesome, funny, inspiring dude.. keep it up brotha!!!

[@supertraining06]

Sneakz GT thanks for giving me another chance!

[@rafatrill]

I'm sure he would be proud mark, God bless u and ur family

[@5055672439]

Got me tearing up man.

[@TheYeti_97]

You're the man Mark even at ur lvl u are still humble and willing to learn others while at the same time throwing your own sense of humor and 2 cents through all these informative and inspirational videos. Ur one of the reasons why I started powerlifting!

[@riccervant]

thanks brother for sharing your pain, I've dealt with similar dark moments myself

[@tomrl6674]

Really sorry to hear about your brother, the information about lifting and health that you guys spread through your docos and organisations is invaluable.

[@wlamb13]

I tell you Mark this video really hit home. I lost my mom and dad this year, 9 months apart. My work and gym family were there and don’t know if I could have made it without them. Also bout 2 weeks ago went in the gym not feeling it and blew my back out deadlifting. I knew in my mind not to do it but like you that energy pushed me. I’m feeling better and back at it. May even do my 1st ever push/pull next spring.

[@SGHABRIAL]

Love you guys, still, xoxo.

[@MrMhtmht]

Man who is cutting onions in here

[@supertraining06]

MechanicCrib the Untied States Powerlifting Federation is what the USPA broke off of.

[@davenportbarbell734]

This is good

[@silentk59]

1. Goddamn your a strong bencher Mark. 2. Haha you squatted deeper back then, than you do now. ;P

[@bradcastleberryspolystyren6510]

He's watching over you and your family Mark. God Bless

[@fede9603]

Song at 6:27 ?

[@andrewross5627]

Warren G - Regulate

[@mlambert85]

Hey Mark, you are a great inspiration and I have a lot of respect for you as a lifter and as a man, so I mean no disrespect when I ask you this. But do you think steroid use has anything to do with any of your injuries? Not sure if you were using during your biceps tear or pec tear. Just wanted your or anyone else thoughts on this subject. By the way, you are a great advocate for health, lifting, and love your openness on the mental health issues your brother suffer with. God Bless

[@supertraining06]

mlambert85 I’m sure it played a role!

[@mlambert85]

@@supertraining06 thank you for your response. I know it plays a big part in powerlifting and I've recently gotten in powerlifting over the last year. Love the sport and just wondering was the benefit of the steroids and what it provided worth the possible negative effects it may have had on the body. And by the way, you body transformations over the years are incredible

[@blackphoenix8932]

Geared lifting is daft as hell. It's no wonder raw powerlifting has seen an astronomical surge in popularity in recent years. Especially looking at that shirted 805 bench press at 6:20. Mark hadn't even locked his right arm out before the spotters took it.

[@spodergibbs5088]

DT Moore geared lifting has its time but people caught on and realized it was ridiculous.

[@robertplant1959]

DT Moore only legit geared powerlifting is the ipf- they hold the competitors to the same standards as their raw lifters

[@blackphoenix8932]

@@robertplant1959 Agreed & nice profile.

[@tikfok]

805 bench ? WTF

[@rob34star]

I lift with negativity as well

[@bs431980]

I miss Fat Mark !!!

[@c5vette170]

Geared lifting still gay

[@supertraining06]

c5 vette perhaps but you can’t complain about all that you have....and at the time that’s all Powerlifting has.

[@grizzlymanverneteil4443]

Thats what the sport was. If you want to compete you use every tool available to you.

[@sjakie123456]

Mark Bell - Sling Shot and Mark just keeps his head cool despite the d**khead comment. Much respect for the video Mark!
