TO HELL AND BACK, DOUBLE MARATHON, 400 REPS 225 LBS

[@drebeas1979]

Tried this with 205lbs and my arms and chest gave out at 184 reps...My chest was on fire for 5 days...Much respect to CT and anyone else that finishes a 225 marathon.

[@fadiddlycox]

at least you had the balls to try it. cheers to you brother.

[@BALLAsTvDotCom]

i did it with 185 lol

[@fadiddlycox]

if i were to try it, id probably have to use less than that.

[@luismarsh8072]

I did it with 135 but then again my Max is 225 that's why plus I'm only 15 so don't judge lol

[@IAF406]

think imma have to give this a go at 185..

[@Henry-ut9ym]

the thing with fletcher is, he's gone beyond his max to the point where his muscles know no limit, since his earliest workout days. you can be 70 years old with muscle memory and willpower like fletcher and still blow through any marathon. basically world class athlete mentality. hard work, dedication, courage and self mastery are the keys to success.

[@estefanhidalgo5934]

amen to that!

[@estefanhidalgo5934]

I wish I had CT's dedication

[@mindovermatter56]

could not be said better

[@mindovermatter56]

+Estefan Hidalgo don't wish just do

[@maykmendo1]

check out his steroid exam video, and shut your weak ass up.

[@rekjavicxxx]

Beast Mode ENGAGED!!!

[@madformonster]

he man i watch your vids did not no you watched ct

[@rekjavicxxx]

madformonster Sure thing man! CT is one BAMF! Thanks for keeping up with the channel :)

[@678325]

225LBS x 400= 90,000lbs He basically moved 45 tons off his chest piece by piece AMAZING! SHIT DEMANDS RESPECT don't care who you are.

[@Infernoflameblast]

+fernando drugdfg What makes that feat so amazing is the amount of time it took him to move those pieces

[@chaneybollala1221]

Wow! I love how u broke it down. 🖤

[@HeavyCet]

Thats insane math! That makes this video much more fascinating than it already was.

[@1L0V3G4M3S]

this is even intense to watch. 54 years old? damn. youre the man ct

[@mizzyfit_334]

lol this how my dad is he 57

[@UP606754]

Even if his form isn't perfect. I sure as shit can't lift this weight for reps. Never mind 400. I take my hat of to this man. Shaking, exhausted, can't even get of the bench without help ... but he has a huge smile on his face pretty much the whole damn time. The man's got a heart of steel. Regardless of his heart surgery. ISYMFS.

[@timjohnson6024]

Ever since My metroflex visit I include the marathon on my chest days and the difference in strength and thick muscle is undeniable!!! CT is the best trainer.

[@zinoelgato]

I a man looks like you CT, he doesn't need to explain shit to nobody! You have proven yourself many times and now you shown that you still got it, big time!!! RESPECT!

[@stevebrown8263]

Did it two weeks ago ....225lbs 250 reps in 47 minutes.....going back in the dungeon Monday morning to upgrade..transform....grow mfs...GROW! Much respect CT!

[@chaneybollala1221]

One of da most AMAZING THINGS I'VE EVER SEEN!🖤Dat man is TRULY AMAZING!

[@bigvon8924]

54 and still destroying shit. Haters say no more and just bow down.

[@Guerrilla4life]

Fiends4 he didnt take roids u idiot watch his videos

[@Fiends4]

BrutalfoceGG Oh, because he says he doesn't take steroids that must mean he doesn't. You're the fucking idiot.

[@Guerrilla4life]

niga plz watch his early videos and get info why he got a heart surgery wasnt cos of roids get your info right

[@Fiends4]

BrutalfoceGG No, it is because of roids. You're such a blind fool.

[@tateoliver4033]

Fiends4 the openheart surgery was because of mcdonalds get ur facts straight.

[@jackma2760]

This man is the realest man in the whole USA!

[@ChristianPA]

They must have accidently gave him a lions heart when he got his transplant

[@FlashX212]

Where do I sign up? Lol

[@overlord6815]

Lmfao

[@skipeveryday7282]

he didn't have a heart transplant he had an aortic valve replacement.

[@themondoshow]

Ross Catto oddly enough he has a new heart now

[@oplastkill7350]

themondoshow good to see someone else still watching this in 2019 the man is a beast💯🚫🧢

[@greggholler5123]

It may not be as big as what ya did in this video but you just inspired me and I just completed 200 reps of 135 and started with a pyramid from warm up to 225 back down to 135 and that's where I did the 200 reps! Thanks CT your a major inspiration!

[@RCLIFTOFF]

This is the BEST video of all for CT! This speaks for volumes of what determination and hard work is all about. 54! Will any of these young boys be able to do what he's doing now is the question? FUCK NO!

[@DanielLopez-gx4rk]

You got that shit right 54 and is still doin weights ct is the best

[@TheMidrangeking]

He definitely changed the way I viewed and worked out. I wondered why I never saw results...because I was doing 4 sets of 10. Then I see the hell and back video. I was amazed. I've been in love with iron ever since

[@uneedmorepeople]

400 damn this man is amazing this is how Arnold should be! !! I love the Ahnold but CT is wayyyy cooler love this man. Wether you're a bodybuilder or not, this man motivates you to JUST DO IT.

[@Vxccine1234]

i can watch this guy all day!!!! the love his son gives his dad though.. you can hear him welling lets go pops, that must bring so much strength to him

[@dylanjoseph9687]

his rep range ain't even that bad

[@carneasuhdude6823]

Dylan Joseph exactly, dudes talk like he coming an inch off his chest or something

[@carneasuhdude6823]

And his grip is wide lol 🤦🏻‍♂️ some people need to stop dissecting every little thing

[@christalcotton30]

Mr CT Fletcher is very very very encouraging I like his channel

[@jdcook0508]

I have just recently started training for muscle endurance. I have a one rep bench max of around 350 lbs. I saw this video and decided I wanted to give it a shot - in fact, I couldn't wait! I just completed the marathon using 95 lbs and at a few points I thought I was going to throw up! Don't knock it til' you try it. Thanks alot CT!

[@willienailher1651]

Its actually harder to do reps the way CT is doing them because there is constant tension on the muscle making it work harder

[@CL88Rembert]

But you can do more reps doing it this way

[@CL88Rembert]

Im not taking anything away from him ima CT fan just saying 400 half reps isnt comparable to 400 full reps....i like Mike Rashid's marathon better because he uses full reps but CT has world championships so he can pretty much do whatever he pleases at this point

[@CL88Rembert]

As I've started above, I'm not taking anything away from him...but Rashids was better because off the full reps

[@CL88Rembert]

he'd get less reps doing full ROM he's only moving it a few inches from his chest in this vid

[@CL88Rembert]

i did...felt like i was cheating myself, if you're not doing full ROM don't count the reps.....he did 1/4 reps

[@mgardner70]

Can't give him ENOUGH thumbs up!

[@joaomarquesfaisca2510]

i was just thinking the same thing!

[@nossurge]

Im 25 now and CT at 54 years old is in better shape than I've ever been. I wish he was my powerlifting coach in highschool. Mad props to CT.

[@sanakiyamam1987]

They have to put ct in an action movie for example like predators 2 hehe how he would talk about the predator in the movie bonbon eating couch sitting hahhahha

[@larinzol]

Mental strength and dedication. Mr. CT sets the example for others to follow.

[@tankfran3]

Nothing wrong with that form, as far as I'm concerned it's harder doing benches that way

[@14Hellcop]

I saw the quit and uncertainty in your eyes and watched you push it out and keep going. Man, that's where the true motivation comes from!!!

[@SHAMzila85]

CT's rep range is perfect, perfect for high reps. No point going all the way and locking your arms in high reps anyway

[@Guppusmaximus]

You mean ROM (Range of Motion), right? The point is, when weight training is done in the full range of motion there are greater strength gains and more muscular growth when compared to training partial range. "Halfsies" are good to get used to adding more weight to a set,but, once you make the transition you should return to Full ROM.

[@davekelly5503]

Mr CT Fletcher. I take a bow, doff my cap. Total respect for your mental and physical strength . 54 and still pushing the boundaries. Inspirational .

[@LulzRoyce]

Not locking out keeps tension on the chest the entire time. The bottom 50% of the lift - where you feel that stretch in the chest - is the chest working, and the top 50% of the lift and lockout is all triceps and delts. So for you bitches out there doing half reps and wondering why you're still rocking the bird chest THATS WHY.

[@themaster61]

I'm confused by your comment. Based on your comment, I would think someone who did half reps would have a bigger chest being that the range in which a half rep is done is generally in the bottom 50%, where the chest is engaged or am I missing something?

[@shawnbowers8774]

Top5DOA He's talking about the other people... who only do the top half(or less) of the rep range.... There's a lot of those people out there, loading up the bar and then cracking their elbows a little bit. They'll even ask for a spot

[@LulzRoyce]

Top5DOA Not in commercial gyms, half-repping usually refers to not doing full ROM in terms of never getting to the 'bottom' of the lift because that's the hardest sticking point - most gym-bro's never even get close to the bottom half and only spank away at the top 25-50% of the lift.

[@themaster61]

Oh ok Shawn Bowers LulzRoyce I guess I was using the vid and my own half reps as the basis for your comment. I forgot people do those pathetic Top 30-40% reps. I'm with you.

[@2007Whiplash2007]

Not locking out is actually a lot harder than doing the full rep. It gives me way more pump not to lock out all the way.

[@baguioinonify]

I got nothing but respect for you, my man CT. Respect. Respect.

[@Evangle.Hendricks]

I did this with just 35's on each side killed me much respect to CT Flecher

[@michaelbernard9811]

God Bless You CT - You Are Definitely An Inspiration. That "S" on your chest not only stands for Superman but "Super Saiyan" - He suffered from a heart issue too and came back stronger than a MUTHA!!! Luv U Bro. Keep Up The Good Work - I've been inspired to get my ass back to workin' out at the age of 44. Mental Power Baby!!!

[@ricon1977]

And I thought doing 100 reps at 225 was no joke, you took that to a whole different level bruh!

[@theonlyEYEBROWKING]

Right!!! Totally bypassed mike rashid

[@BobKreder48]

This is a level of fitness we should all strive for!! Much love and respect CT!!

[@mrMITCH1914]

MUCH RESPECT CT!!!

[@ClevertymeZ]

CT is an inspiration to all of us. Haters included. Mid 50s. Plus an open heart surgery. No excuses for a guy like me. Thanks for this video. Yes, I know full range is important. At this point, who cares? Best video in my book for more reasons than one. My mom had an open heart surgery. Her aorta valve replaced and is on dialysis. Yet with the help from GOD, she still fights. Thanks again for this video.

[@WaterPokefreak]

At his age throwing 225 for 400 reps like nothing. You gotta respect that shit!

[@Fucktony714]

At any age lol

[@humblelion1175]

No Angry Comic was right ! AT THAT AGE AND OLDER !

[@DamianThomas-actionshotpro]

My man CT. More power to you. Great motivation.

[@beyondlimitsproductions1468]

Truly an inspiration to the aging body builder!

[@champbullard8116]

I godda subscribe after seeing this video.. I watch CT often but to see him go through this humbling moment was epic.. rep range wasnt an issue that is a tuff tuff workout.. RESPECT

[@shotfiredmandown]

Ct fletcher had the best form due too keeping the tension on the muscles, while locking out gives your muscle a second break and that's for soft tissue homies

[@chryslerprowlerv8]

CT You're A Str8 Up Beast! Forget what the haters are talking about keep up the hard work while they sit at home WATCHING you. Much Respect

[@ScottyHallGoBlue]

Wow. Your a legend man. That was crazy

[@Jeff-OB1]

wow!!!! I am very impressed and also motivated to try this someday..well done..i am 48 yrs with high blood pressure issues and i am never giving up!!!!

[@stygiank]

And that is 54 years old? What can't this man do?

[@halcncod]

Jermaine Percell be natty

[@TroutButter]

halcncod With all the heart troubles he's had (which is genetics) steroids would have killed him off quite quickly by now. Just because someone is bigger than you does not mean they are on something. That's just ridiculous and ignorant.

[@Cool99MG]

TroutButter disinformed idiot

[@Redhulkatkinson1379]

Monster lifting. Heart, fire and brimstone. Inspirational to see anyone achieve something as monumental 400 reps with 2 wheels, let alone a man who has recovered from what CT has. He is different and different is good. Keep it up.

[@darthdarren77]

"Mate, got many sets left?"

[@reggiemccathern4925]

Man true motivation right here.....old man killing half these youngings out here preciate the dedication CT

[@ForesterTraveler]

That was insane CT you da man

[@millionbreakfast]

Hi Ct! I'm completed chestmarathon yesterday. 24 sets, 200 reps, 60kg, 74min! I'm 82kg. Thank for you motivation video! Thanks from Russia!

[@naldebol]

And he had an open heart surgery plus he's 54 years old. I am speechless.

[@DJYC21215]

Don't forget the steroids.

[@ANeonSkinJoke]

DJYC21215 Oh, the magic word for "I cannot do this myself so I blame him for STEROIDS!" You must be such a winner. And by the way, if steroids help people be in that shape at that age after open heart surgery then steroids are fucking awesome. Most people at 54 barely get off coach.

[@DJYC21215]

Joona Keskinen Got to love it when fanboys think anyone speaking the truth is a hater, or someone bad@sports.

[@ANeonSkinJoke]

Yeah. Don't get me wrong, I believe this guy is using. But no matter if he's using or not, this is still something about not many people on this planet could do at 54 even without surgery, steroids or not. And I really hate it when every time somebody is doing something awesome someone comes in and says "steroids". As if it would take away this epic thing we just saw. And steroids are actually used in medical science to make people better so this circus surrounding them should be put to sleep for good. Unless you're a professional athlete, but they're using anyway, testing or not. Steroids can cause health problems but they can also save lives and improve the quality of life, especially when you age and your body isn't responding and recovering as it used to. And if they help him to be in better shape at 54 than I'm at 25, then go for it.

[@DJYC21215]

Joona Keskinen Take away the steroids, take away the record. I'm sorry the truth hurts but if you remove steroids from the equation you remove 90% of the world records in sports from the 70's and up. CT Fletcher included.

[@ionaalosio7852]

C.T fletcher iv just started doing weights and man I watch all your videos to push me and motivate me your awesome man your a hero and comptons only hero in the gym much love from New Zealand brother 💪💪 god bless

[@edwardrivers2729]

CT is a BEAST!!!! I never even met him personally but got crazy respect for this guy

[@MisfitManiacJoe]

Me and a few buddies tried this at the gym..we failed. 70kg on the bar and only got to 100 reps total..i feel so weak watching this now! haha

[@PedenProductions]

That was insane, you´re the mann CT. Way to go. You truely inspire people to better them selves.

[@royoquendo8270]

BEAST BEAST BEAST!!!!

[@hydrainarms3135]

Now that's what I call a chest work out. Seeing him shake after doing so many sets. Seemed like after a while he was ready to pass out. Hey fletcher, your A-1 in my books brother. Two thumbs up all the way!!

[@Notahater9]

the hardest part for ct is the sit up at end of set.

[@YoungstersHustle]

jehad Farhan Classic brotha

[@Pezzalla]

Awesome to see guys like this! You've still got it CT!! And it'll never leave you. This is how it's done!!!!

[@jaycolucci]

"Hey Man...You know how many sets you got left?" Let's hope this wasn't monday

[@nickfening3075]

this comment is tremendously underrated

[@williamkrock1137]

Tried this today. Had to use the decline due to everything else being used. Managed 225 for 365 reps, had to stop because of time. At one point I did 8 consecutive sets of 20 or more reps, which was more than I had ever tried before. In between the last 7 sets I threw in cable flies, just for good measure. Total time was about 2:45. Hell of a workout!!

[@MrCharrrles]

I wish I could rep that once

[@Ricky-pb8oy]

You can do it!

[@Cool99MG]

i went to hell and back last night at the gym. just kept doing bench press and dumbbell rows one after the other with like 10 second rests. after 15 minutes, i thought i was gonna barf so i went to the bathroom and took a huge shit. after that i was done

lmao

[@TheJourneyof3]

That was amazing!@CTTheTrainer! You never cease to amaze me! Keep up the amazing work and keep providing the amazing encouragement that you do!!

[@NPC-ss4qw]

I'll stick with 200 reps because it would take my ass 1hr30-2hrs in the gym to finish 400 and I hate it when bitches keep asking me how many sets I have left because I always tell them, "I'm not done until I can't do anymore mutha fucka so gtfo!"

[@joaomarquesfaisca2510]

ok, so you to a gym like the one CT's on that probably has about x83785785376756 benches to do that. would you like to go there and then all benches be occupied and you just want to workout but u can't because somebody's using it for 2h? i'd like to see your reaction then

[@ChannelJoeE]

João Marques Faisca We don't got no gym like that in Australia. Well, not that I've seen anyway. My gym has...2 benches. I usually go at odd times when there are no people. But, around the peak times...people eyeball and circle around the benches like vultures to a horse that is about to die... Hahaha.

[@Canuketchup2]

39 sets 400reps and ISYMFS loved it

[@hitmanx2009]

lol by the halfway mark ct is too tired to keep talking shit. It's actually weird to see him be so quiet.

[@Earthquake2009]

Incredible feat CT. I rock with your vids and speeches everyday. I look nothing like CT nor have i have the time invested he has but he motivates me to get up everyday despite having back surgery to will myself to the gym and be better today than i was yesterday, each and every day that i can. Thank you CT!

I wish I could move 100kg like that

[@jannikadamsen2129]

[@Evangle.Hendricks]

Im doing this tomorrow morning

[@michaelovitch]

so,how it went ?

[@Evangle.Hendricks]

It hurt the day after. I did do it with that much weight.

[@Evangle.Hendricks]

Chest still feels tight

[@michaelovitch]

Evangle hendricks How long does it takes total ? how much time between to rest ?

[@Evangle.Hendricks]

When I started i took maybe a minute rest, but after the 6th set of 20 it burns really bad so I took longer rest period. I wouldnt do it on a full or empty stomach.

[@naturesourceinc]

This is True Beast Mode!!! CT Fletcher is the truth!!! good job brotha!!

[@1ButtonDash]

the spotters bi's... wtf?!

[@actaplumass]

bro i thought the same shit

[@HyborianAge]

I'm not gonna lie. This is like my 10th time watching this and it's still awe inspiring. CT, you're that dude my friend. Peace!

[@776starr]

My husbands not a huge guy, but he is always stronger than the biggest guys in the gym. He out squats people twice his size, he out bench presses them he out does everything they do. When he sees a power lifter put up 800+ for 4 reps on the leg press, he waits in line gets on the machine and pushes out 20 reps explosively hulking out loud commanding his legs to explode! He is a fighter, and my heart is his prize. You have to see this man, he is not human. But it wasn't until he watched CT Fletcher that he got his motivation back. I cooked up too many delicious meals and made him fat and lazy. Thanks CT for motivating my beast of a man. He is no longer fat or lazy, he is even more motivated than I have ever seen him. His mind is why he out does everyone he comes across. He said if you believe you can lift it you might be right, but if you have absolute conviction and command it like CT! Not even God can stop you, cause it's still your mother F*CKING SET!

[@PurpleNightmare52]

Lol, 800 pounds on a "leg press"? That's pretty weak. People load up 1500-2000 pounds on leg presses. Those numbers don't mean much and powerlifters squat, they don't leg press.

[@wilmy0416]

PurpleNightmare52 bro chill

[@l9ikjam]

+PurpleNightmare52 you never said how much weight you can do? I bet you couldn't get close to 800 pounds

[@PurpleNightmare52]

l9ikjam ROTFL leg press??? are you kidding?? 800 pounds is nothing. No one compares leg strength based on what they "leg press". I can now bench press roughly 500 pounds, and before I developed nerve damage in my back I squatted 605x2 and 625x1 below parallel at the age of 22.

[@l9ikjam]

I don't do them so I wouldn't know how much weight is considered heavy. I stick with my squats

[@Strongaholic]

Idk how many time I already watched this video, and everytime i watch it I realize how weak I am. Thanks CT! This motivates me to step up my game beyond my limit. NO LIMIT 💪🏼💯
