#iamworthy Back In middle school I was constantly picked on for being fat and weird, I was always quiet and minded my own business, everyone gave me shit for it. Eventually I got tired of it. After middle school was done I started highschool from a home school program. It was then that I realized that I wasn't happy with my body. It took me forever but I've lost a little over fifty pounds by now and I'm getting there at my own pace. This channel gave me the motivation I needed to get off the couch and start pumping iron.

[@festivesnake7288]

As an athlete, this is a very interesting perspective on physique and bodybuilding as a whole. Every sport has a different goal in mind for which muscles you train, and it’s honestly insane that people think there is an “ideal” for your physique. *Your* physique that is unique to you and what your goals are. It’s mind-boggling. I’m a figure skater, so most of my training is leg and core. There’s this weird pressure as a female skater to have a very specific athletic body type. One that I don’t quite fit into. I have broad shoulders and am generally more bulky than other figure skaters, but my training is and always has been centered around my sport. Even so, coaches tend to tell me to lose weight and focus more on slimming down. I get told that I’m too heavy or muscular and that’s why I can’t always land a certain jump. It’s mind-numbing. Figure skaters are petty little ice princesses sometimes, and girls on my team passive-aggressively tell me that I’m not focused enough skating because my physique is slightly different. Like, what? It’s wild, man. I’m rambling though. I totally agree with your points about working out for yourself. I figure skate because it’s something I’m passionate about, and putting someone down for trying to better themselves is super shitty.

I needed this. I’ve been working out since I was 14, I’m 20 now and I weigh 165 lbs at 5’11. I’m trying to get 210 lbs. I used to weigh 145 lbs, but I bulked up. My arms are 16.5” rn, but I want them to be 18”. I wish I learnt about tricep exercises before I started working out. I didn’t learn about triceps until I was 18. So I still have progress to make. I’m trying to get back into doing the prison routine mixed with powerlifting. Because I want to bulk up. Mainly for me, but until this video I used to think “If I’m huge, maybe I’ll be viewed as badass or something.” But this humbled me, big thanks Jax. All I gotta do is keep training and keep going towards the goal. EDIT: A few months ago I got a scale and learned my actual weight was 165. Looks can be deceiving, especially if you are leaner than fatter. It’s a bit frustrating because I now have to work up to 190 lbs at least. But at the same time, I accept the challenge and look forward to reaching 210 still. EDIT EDIT: I lost my heart. :’( Jax notice me

I was always insecure about how skinny I was, but once I had gotten out of high school I started to feel better about myself. I still had some self esteem issues along the way, but I eventually learned to love myself the way I am, however, that doesn't mean I can't improve upon myself. Anytime I used to workout I always workout to be bigger cause I was self-conscious of how skinny I am, but now I'm just exercising to be stronger, and I'll just let the size from whatever gains I make come naturally. The biggest challenge I've always faced was when it comes to food. I'm not eating enough and I could definitely be eating a little more nutritiously, but since I started working out again on top of my job and summer school and I now have a routine I can't wait till I get my results and I feel accomplished every day. I never had a doubt in my mind that I'm capable of anything the hardest part is always starting and staying consistent. No such thing as an overnight success.

"If I cannot have my perfect form, I'll strive for my perfect function." I don't know how my body is gonna change as I grow older but I know my body's functional ideal is going to be a constant. I want to feel proud of my body. I can appreciate aesthetics but I know that the time taken for me to achieve an ideal physique would take away from my joys of martial arts training and movement, so I can't feel pride in an aesthetically pleasing body which does not function that I want it to. I'm not happy with my physique because I'm not happy with it's function, it's why I'm looking to do fewer lifts near 1RM and take more time to abdominal and skill based exercises. Now the obligatory backstory, I was given a lot of flak as a young teen being slim, scrawny and short was merely a factor, like many I got bullied but tis' life. I enjoyed sports because this was where things got interesting, I had to adapt through trial and error. I definitely took unnecessary hits in basketball because I was easy to box out but I learnt how to brace better and slip by peoples barges. I injured a lot in rugby because I seemed an easy target on the ball but I learnt that my agility is an asset. I got related to goalkeeping in football because I was asthmatic and a terrible shot but I learnt to relish the oncoming threat of the offense and let them come, I've got time to rest and a penchant for a lucky dive. All that's changed from then and now regarding fitness and sport is location and time and people. Same social archetypes with the occasional twist, same sort of challenges and the same risks to health and reputation; I'll try to keep on living in the moment and see where I can fit, regardless of the situation. I'll keep on fighting, keep on traceuring and keep on learning. #iamworthy as I once was worthy, #iamworthy because I will be worthy once again.

[@dogearflopper7011]

This is such an esteem-booster. I'm definitely an in-between guy with a lot of gym experience but still some pudge. I'm not gunning to be a physique performer.

I need to adopt a healthy lifestyle but have no idea where to start.

[@elijahdowling2186]

Don’t have that but I have some pretty solid advice for you take cold showers 🚿 lift,run, do calisthenics diet take multivitamins take protein and creatinine and also take black seed oil and ashwagandha before bed. Stop drinking or smoking

[@breathebih4321]

I dont have a resource for healthy lifestyle but if you dont know where to start i would say stop watching some of those videos and just start, like right now do some push up later on go on a lil run start to build momentum not all at once but start something today and do a lil more tomorrow

[@keenan3618]

I suggest you figure out the small lifestyle changes that you want to implement first and some low-hanging fruit (easiest changes), decide from there and try to let your habits survive. If you're going for the whole lifestyle overhaul remember that it'll be more harder to sustain- regression to the mean happens and habits built over a lifetime will not change immediately just because you want them to. If you haven't already, you should try observing yourself- your energy levels, hunger levels, sleepiness levels throughout the day and after getting a baseline of a few weeks, you can try experimenting to see what works for you: nutrition, rest, and training. Objective knowledge from experts is important but having zero knowledge of yourself will bring great difficulties in application. Patience is your friend, as you can see, this is a continuous process- should improving oneself have an end? This is a healthy lifestyle that we're building and appropriately, it will take a lifetime.

This is a highly needed talk/video. I love things that can make you think very critically on youself. Thos is one of them. Thank you for giving us this

[@mrcircles8457]

#Iamworthy I've been doing calisthenics and I've lost 50+ pounds and I'm still losing weight thanks JaxBlade for helping me out.

[@kapi4044]

That magikarp reference was just so fucking accurate good one jax

[@ZeArnold-mh8ig]

I started working out religiously for the last 19 days, before that I was working out on and off not really caring how much or what. My original goal was to get SWEOLE, I had some advice that I need to just cut because he could tell I’m at like 30% body fat, (I’m 6’0 and 194 lbs atm) And I’ve been muscular for a while but I’ve never looked good. For the last probably 5-7 days I’ve been cutting and working out hypertrophy and trying to increase my Calisthenics, since my weights aren’t that heavy atm, drinking whey, and eating healthier (except today because everything was hurting), Jax you’ve been a big inspiration to me, and I plan on seeing my abs one day, probably wouldn’t be able to try as hard as I do if it wasn’t for you, so thanks a lot man 🙏.

[@eliastta437]

Hey Jax! I know it id summer and i am 12 yeard ikd but starting tomorrow I am waking up at 5 am and going for a mile run! Later in the day I will practice gyitar and try to learn spanish. Here's to productivity and fitness! Edit: I also will meditate for 10 minutes before each run

[@thomiste_1]

That's a nice routine but if you want try to so some push ups for building strong or some light Saitama workout

[@buttface8304]

Noice

[@eliastta437]

@@thomiste_1 thanks for the advice! Eventually i will probabaly incorporate pusbuos squats and leg raises into my routine (I hear sit-ups can do harm to the back)

[@Gun94Z]

If you can't love when I'm Toshinori, you can't When I'll be All might. Thanks for this video, some people love to say I'm too skinny but this kind of body fit me so good. Just thanks dude, keep going on that way !!!!!

[@kalvykalv]

I have gained some weight from trying to take my mental health seriously with medication and its been rough cause I gained like 30-40 pounds. I'm going for walks every day, doing an ab workout and trying bodyweight exercises and I'm sure it's helping but I want results now (which I know is unrealistic) #iamworthy

[@SKUNK_FPS_Clips]

It just boils down to building true confidence .

[@TCONJ]

When I first got my license, I was 5’4 and only 108lbs. Once I started college, I started going to the gym and trying to eat more. I got myself to 140lbs with both weight lifting and calisthenics. Back in February, my long term girlfriend broke up with me and I was severely depressed. I wasn’t eating much, and lost close to 15 pounds. However, now I’m trying to get back into it. I’ve realized working out has helped my mental health, so it’s no where but up for me!

[@JoshuaHenelyThornhill]

I really needed that bro ! Nice and fresh reminder of trusting what I want to accomplish. There’s no bad way just different roads to walk ✌🏾 Love you Jax 🧡 #Imworthy

[@ElvisLifts]

"Do it for you and not for them" is great advice!

[@monkoloko827]

I really appreciate the fact that you bring up how someone's goal for themselves to be healthy is so important. I've seen it time and time again where people who are just trying to improve themselves get shamed by others for some reason or another. Bee yourself and work hard y'all. #IAmWorthy

[@therisingdragon4207]

Jax you have been a great inspiration in my life for the last 5 years. THANK YOU VERY MUCH ON BEING A GREAT STRONG CHILL DUDE. #Iamworthy

[@asura2015]

Thank you very much jaxblade😁 PLUS ULTRA FOR EVERYONE!!

[@masonwheeler4713]

you’ve motivated me so much jax, i started working out in 7th grade bc of you i quit last year and i can’t believe i’m going to 11th grade in a month. i’ve recently started again last week bc i came back to your videos, thanks so much for the motivation.

[@brodynicolaisen2304]

I agree with everything you've said. At the end you asked for a story so I'll tell you mine. I'm 19 and in college, however, growing up I lived a rather sheltered life. I wasn't allowed to do sports and some people made fun of me for this, and called me lazy over something I had no control over. So I was oftentimes pretty bitter with others and tried to start fights. However, in college I joined a mma gym and its honestly changed my life. I'm in my best shape ever and have made some great freinds. Also my mental health has improved because I no longer feel like I have to prove myself to others, just myself. So I'm way more easy going and friendly now.

[@sebastianchavez9506]

This reminded me so much of that time when a former friend's friend said "I have less muscle than you but at least I know how to use it" out of nothing and then comented on my forearms muscles not being as visible as his bc my "muscles were loose" (total bs), and I was like "yoo wth bro, I haven't said ANYTHING to you lol". Insecure people are so good at belittling others just bc they feel like it.

[@juniorjunior5884]

True body positivity is loving yourself at all stages. My body goes through so many shifts from more bloated to lean, especially since I haven't had the chance to hit my gym. But I stick to my basics to maintain and build my strength, sure I don't look as cut as I did when I kept going to gym during my days off, but I know I'm still as strong if not stronger than I was before. Focus on your goals, other people commenting on looks are just noise.

[@soleilsenpai2426]

Growing up I was always fat and weak and always made fun of for it. Then when I got into highschool and got into martial arts + Puberty hitting me like a sack of trucks, I became tall and lean and everyone started actually being really really nice to me. From 12 - 18 I kept a consistent weight of 180, I just got taller and skinnier and more more muscle. But after graduating I stopped training and let myself go and gained a lot of weight and lost a lot of muscle, and then saw a picture of myself back in highschool and thought "I'm way too young to think about how good I used to look". So I got back into training and that rekindled my love for martial arts and blossomed my love for fitness and slowly started allowing me to love myself and my body no matter how I looked. I came to terms with the fact that I'll never be that small again, but all I care about now is becoming stronger and a better martial artist. When I started back in 2017, I was 210lbs with 46% body fat. Now I'm 240lbs with 21% body fat. And there have been people who tried to put me down but I'm strong enough to lift myself.

[@hello-gx6oi]

That last sentence is just beautiful

[@ShaolinPretzels]

“I am worthy.” That feels so uplifting to say.

[@jeffcrawford3396]

Man, ty so much for this. your saying stuff I've been thinking for so long, but I never see anyone with that same mind set be so confident with sharing it. you really just made me feel better

[@FlawlessSaty]

Thanks for uploading this Jax, your message really resonates with me. The reason I got into fitness was because I was chubby and looking for the approval of others, mostly girls lol. BUT ALSO BECAUSE THE TOONS and (WWE but you dont really cover that haha) But what really made an impact on my mental was when I started looking at myself in a mirror and seeing muscles more defined, and feeling the results of all the hard work I put in; it made me feel good. But yeah like wtf is up with people teasing someone because of their body type or because of their fitness routine? It was really annoying for people to randomly touch my arms or my chest or whatever and I ACTUALLY GOT TEASED for making that body change. If you're reading this: your body should be what you want it to be, not what you think other people want. Jax is right, you can't please everyone.

[@musicloverrandoms]

I’m a skinny guy trying to bulk. Over lockdown a lot of personal stuff hit me on top of that and I used that as fuel to gain some weight and size (following your Jojo TLTT as a matter of fact). I went from 54kg to 56kg in the space of 3 weeks, then I got complacent and lost a kilo, currently at 55kg. But that knowledge that I CAN reach 56kg, the heaviest I’ve ever been, inspires me to know that I can one day hit my target of being between 65kg - 70kg. I’ll never be the biggest and strongest, but if I can get to that weight goal for my own sake and be able to maintain that as I continue to improve on my martial arts training (my true focus) I’d class that as a win. Huge thank you for this video man, I’ve been following you for a long time and as always you’re proving time and again that one of your main goals is to help others build themselves into the best them possible. Keep going my dude! #iamworthy

[@sonwuquan7980]

I was the skinny kid growing up, and the tall kid in middle school. I got picked on in 8th grade for being "tall for nothing" because I suck at basketball. Kids avoided me in gym class cuz it was seen as uncool to hang around a disappointment like me. But that changed when I joined the track team and did very well running distance for our school. They didn't understand that I just am not a hooper, and I didn't wanna be. I felt free running and I could run for long periods of time without stopping, and my long legs were useful for the long jump. I even made friends through Track & Field and some of them were the same ones who laughed at me for being "tall for nothing". It's always because they don't understand that your goals aren't the same as theirs, you just gotta push by them and be your best self anyway. #iamworthy

[@trishmassingill9197]

#iamworthy I’ve been called “Skinny guy” and all those skinny man insults, I got tired of it. My body has completely transformed, I started martial arts and working out and training in general, and now I’m growing more and more confident in my own body, my goal is a manga Baki bod!! Let’s go Jax!!!!! You’re like a personal trainer to me! Extreme motivation

[@xeno1912]

I’ve watched lotta different videos like this, but damn this ones the most entertaining. The other ones make it feel like I’m in health class getting a lecture about how to take care of myself. This makes me feel like my friends trying to push me to my limit and encourage me to do better. Keep up the good content

[@osamayassir78]

Best personal trainer on KZbin you’re the best and because of your tips and some books I’ve read I’m finally able to build the body that I need to be healthy, lean & mean thanks Jaxblade for all the effort you put in your videos it’s really helpful 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@natural5546]

Yes Jaxblade you covered all the key points. There are indeed problems in the fitness community right now.

[@Camdor5]

Thanks for the pick me up, I watched this during my workout (along with like 6 TLTT). Oh, and so you know I made it to the end #iamworthy

[@rosesarafilovic]

This reminds me of a quote from the web comic “Kill Six Billion Demons”. “There is Strength beyond strength” meaning that your physical prowess is not what makes a person. #IamWorthy for pretty much my whole life I’ve been kinda overweight, not very aesthetically pleasing body-wise, and generally unfit. 4 years ago though I started lifting weights regularly and it was a slow process but I was making a noticeable improvement to my body, and 2 years ago I started doing MMA and that’s drastically improved both my physical and mental health. I started working out because I didn’t want to end up obese and lazy, but I continue it because I love improving myself and seeing the results of the work I put in (recently I ran a 5K in just over 32 mins which I never thought I’d be able to do in my life) and you’ve been a huge inspiration for me Jax, so thank you.
