8 years later and this is still one of the best motivational videos for powerlifting

[@smithy875]

at 22 yrs old this guy has a old head on his shoulders what a fkin cool guy

[@Cha0sLord93]

Why is everyone jumping on this guy? He's saying how it is

[@johntrains1317]

Right? Pussies always find fault

[@AndreRiikonen]

One of the greatest motivational videos ever, especially considering that George defines what I find motivating.

[@gerritzalm2447]

Exactly

[@cuzimrickjames]

If Leeman keeps going he could have a shot at world's strongest man... he's young he works hard... he takes lots of juice... damn he should get there big time!

[@Sarefsx]

+James Rick with people like Brian Shaw in the game, Leeman will have a hard time

[@cuzimrickjames]

+Nikita Koba Yeah... but on the "young" side... Leeman only really has Hafthor and Eddie Hall as direct competition... Brian Shaw and Big Z are 2 of the greatest of all time and always will be, but they are getting old. As much as that saddens me... However Leeman is still in his early 20's. So he has time on his hand.

[@0007123451]

This guy is an inspirational person, say what you will about him. People should take his message of hardwork and devotion to heart and apply it to other things in life. Instead of trying to convince everyone that he's on the verge of suicide or going on a shooting rampage. Besides everyone has some mental problems of their own. Most people don't even realize it because they think they're perfect or whatever but at least people like George are aware of it and have found a way to cope with it and turn it into something positive.

[@johntrains1317]

Thank you so much George, I really appreciate all your hard work and videos. Blessings and please keep them coming and your life progressing. Blessings.

[@Darkrobot69]

Man i would also get that sick stomach feeling before a workout. I tried hard af. Now I don't try as much, and my lifts are still going up, but god I actually miss that feeling in my gut. It was a mixture of excitement and anxiety. I want to have to try that hard again.

[@rkofu1]

That's what I like about Leeman, he tells it like it is.

[@andrewvincent89]

We love you George. Do what you need to do man. I see your videos and they motivate me. You help me push when I see you push, pull and lift

[@bbrockRailFan]

George Screw that guy he hasn't walked a mile in your shoes period. All the respect big guy. I find this video VERY inspirational no doubt when a man or woman goes to the extremes it is not all Rainbows and Sunshine.

[@lucatangorra5177]

this is pure gold, some of the best ytb content

[@Henzzman]

he sounds so badass when he is cursing,i like that,not to mention that his workout ethics are unquestionably one of the best.

[@dennisdeslager0]

this is one of the most badass videos i've ever watched

[@Fadsmashers]

Even though I don't agree with fueling muscular dysmorphia/ perfectionism/ escapism... I agree with most of what you say... especially about how pain and more precisely FEAR is a greater motivator, no revolution was born of a smile, but underlying that fear of a mother losing her child is love of that child... Theres more to this issue than a motivational video!

[@GaryDiTeacha]

Great video!!!

[@fredericbarbe]

You're so lucky to have haters... I wish I had some... It always means you're doing something right and the losers of this world react to this. Still need to get better I guess!

[@TherealTriggen]

Epic video. Never give up, that's what it all comes down to. Great work picc!

[@TheUndeda]

Love the way this guy focuses his problems into lifting

[@eatmeatandliftweights5754]

I relate to what George is saying, not everyone has a happy perfect life. The bad experiences and difficulties can be a driving and motivational force, powerlifting is one of those sports that can totally absorb you and provide direction and purpose in one's life!

[@gripstrength5751]

I love his realism and honesty! He is a brute beast and he tells the truth! God damn he taught me something with this clip! Try harder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ROSSNEWHAM]

Around 7 minutes...this is commitment.

[@austingonzales3286]

George has the true mentality of a warrior and no body can take that from him

[@adamkrannacker1433]

This video should have way more views, seriously

[@Anton-os5lk]

Im happy he found love and peace

[@andaran]

Favourite motivational video.

[@ssw6455]

love George Leeman !

[@Fenomenoe9]

--I only wish him a looong prosperous life what a beast.

[@1vootman]

Great, i love it.

[@alejandromendez414]

George leeman is the man

[@-hrdu1348]

2:26 That Kid in the Backround flexing.....Just made my day!

[@WarlikeLockes]

Gonna match my deadlift max today or die trying

[@andaran]

Best motivation ever

[@Professional-douce]

George is the man!

[@nephildevil]

hahaha most badass motivation speech i've heard so far :D

[@tiagovasc_]

Thanks!

[@8118is8]

i feel you when you say "getting sick and sick worried before work outs and sets."

[@tiagovasc_]

Thanks for the comment Devon! Big fan here =)

[@HoneyBadgerify]

Do your thing man!

[@HomicidalDavid]

Good video man! George has a interesting philosophy.

[@kartell87]

AWESOME

[@garyhill1449]

Truth Word brother

[@rickchamp5519]

Leeman is the best

[@EditYourBody]

Awesome best of.Does anybody have the link to any of these originals?

[@CultOfBananas]

Keep in mind people, he may not be lifting for the same reasons you are. Not everyone is trying to test their limits because they are suicidal or have vast amounts of pain or adversity in their lives. Some people want to see what they are capable of and are aiming for the stars. I lift heavy and have no hatred or loathing in my life as I'm sure many of you don't. The truth is that you have to push yourself as hard as you can every time you lift, but you have to pace yourself.

[@19HM98]

Tell that to the guy who's gonna pull 1000lb this year

[@rightnearthebeach]

That last part made no sense, my man

[@brutuscletus7042]

I really want to meet George leeman my favorite lifter

[@Powerlifter666]

Love your vids DJdskay (A good friend from facebook)

[@s3v3nstr1ngd3m0n]

[@feda4100]

good video , all the truth about the haters and the lazy punk asses ... awesome man, true motivation ... an eye for a eye , a lifter for a lifter .. my respect :) keep it up

[@antballer2012]

Too fucking motivating. This video was perfect for the cardio bike, preworkout.

[@BeastBodyBuilding]

Epic

[@BulletESV]

Miss this dude! but im glad he's backed off a bit to be more healthy

[@kaido95]

awsome video dude inpiration me to!

[@yozkopf3000]

How many babies has he killed? Has he been captured yet?

[@jgyz39]

does anyone know the song playing at the start?

[@Fat_black_cat]

el patron two steps from hell - protectors of the earth

[@Khan89Tsung]

can you please make the video available on mobile again @Tiago Vasconcelos I used to listen to this during my warm ups as I can really relate to his mentality. if so it would be muchley appreciated. thanks

[@tiagovasc_]

Khan89Tsung I can't because of the copyright music, try to get a proxy app for your phone. play.google.com/store/search?q=youtube%20proxy&c=apps&docType=1&sp=CAFiDwoNeW91dHViZSBwcm94eXoCGACKAQIIAQ%3D%3D%3AS%3AANO1ljJXVc8&hl=en

[@Khan89Tsung]

no worries man , cheers. hope all is well

[@Brian.rapsey]

+Tiago Vasconcelos What's the first song?

[@Gandalfbaws]

what is the name of the last song ?

[@boxingbox5649]

what a productive member of the society

[@MrTriggerman79]

I wish this guy would compete in WSM. He looks like the perfect candidate.

[@raymondjohnson5459]

RIP

[@EUROFIGHTER14567]

song name???

[@akajiblubb2401]

Georrge Leemans words about steroids and happy individual are words, that ANYONE interested in strenght sport should listen to. Pls google his vid about steroids and some of the quotes. Ty for this tribute?

[@akajiblubb2401]

? should be a !, and of course its George!

[@Gandalfbaws]

song in end ?

[@Demidar]

Would be crazy to see if you could induce an adrenaline oversurge medically. Get what happens in the mind of one who is about to die. That last line of defense, the strentgh you get in that very moment. Do you think you could do it ? would be crazy to see what you could lift in that moment lol

[@phoenixdark15]

Casper sanderson that's the whole point of George's pre-lift mentality, envision a state in which you DO or DIE.

[@larppa666]

+phoenixdark15 It has its disadvantages too it really feels like dying if you miss the pr with that mentality. I feel like total wreck until i get it up later. But when you feel like a total loser nobody you bust your ass even harder.

[@binglongtin4659]

+larppa666 right? you fucking miss it and now you go home and everything on your mind after that is "how the fuck did I miss it" then you get it up and for a few minutes it's the best feeling in the world.

[@Brian.rapsey]

what's the first song

[@camerondelguidice518]

For me this makes life so much more calm

[@americanpowerlifter3272]

*THE MOST SHREDDED, RIPPED BODYBUILDER WITH BIGGEST 3D DELTS ON THIS FUCKING PLANET!*

[@dgwear69]

did you make georges intro?

[@niggasjit]

What song is the last one that is in this vid, where he does the 906lbs deadlift?

[@IncompletenessTheorem]

Evey Reborn. I believe it's from V for Vendetta

[@niggasjit]

tacosamurai9999 Thank you so much :) I was looking forever!

[@themikik10]

please song name at 17: 40?

[@Khan89Tsung]

love this vid, his mental state is similar to mine & why I lift n lift heavy.. he just put it into words for me, if you wanna watch a bloke with 1 arm lift some heavy ass weight have a look at my channel.. lots of new vids to come up to

[@greggholler5123]

Leemans the fuckin man dude

[@breakhammer87]

babyslayer is just a....worng nickname...

[@MegaMyself1234]

I Don't get the negative comments honestly.

[@bigtimanugga]

You guys are just butt hurt because he's being brutally honest about what he does and isn't sugar coating it. You may go and look any other who has succeeded at a great level and say they are a "good" role model but.. fail to realize they think the same way Leeman does. Do you think Ronnie Coleman is just all genetics? People like him said fuck it... i will do whatever it takes to ruin mother fuckers dreams, and he did. Respect. You don't think Pudzinowski knows he took 10+ years off his life? Thats why he was the best. So have fun lifting your 225 rubber weights at planet fitness.

[@OilFan702]

My favorite part starts at 1:20

[@GeorgWilde]

The second half of the speech is rather babysitter :-D

[@takahoo28]

First part is fucking awesome, second sort of fell asleep

[@LiftHeavy1]

6:28 is that Elliott's gym?

[@tiagovasc_]

yes

[@jaskillz1]

I just got sleepy.

[@cooolachristian]

V for Vendetta "God is in the rain"

[@scrubdouglas717]

Holy fuck 906 flew up. Even in slow mo it's decent speed....

[@jamclow]

moral of the story is lift with bad form and something about potatoes?

[@magicwaffl3z]

not sure what bad form youre talking about... trying to call a professional lifter on form is pretty hilarious. his form is awesome for ripping 900 lbs off the floor.

[@jamclow]

Devon Saunders nothing against george, he just said in the video about not worrying about perfect form all the time

[@Bnelen]

Fuck dumbass, thats not funny or accurate. He said if you're as happy pealing potatoes as you are deadlifting 900 pounds you stay pealing potatoes instead of lifting 900 pounds. So fucking hard for you to grasp that?

[@jamclow]

ϫϯϫ ϯϫϯ no sorry can you explain again with more spaces between the words when you type cos I'm quite busy peeling potatoes

[@jamclow]

***** i keep perfect form when peeling potatoes and i deadlift 900lb with one finger and my legs crossed, fact

[@Youngster543210]

I'm pretty sure Ronnie Coleman was the happiest guy who ever lived.

[@Peebano]

I SWEAR he was gonna drop that on that guy's toes @ 2:30

[@pjbrawn2646]

Cheer up bud

[@InquisitivivelyCurious]

ONE DAY I MAY "BECOME THIS FUCKING MONSTER!!!!!!!!!!!!" AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@GENETICARROGANCE]

"mister obeseman should i do 10 sets of 3 on squats?"

[@krakistophales]

While I don't downplay any of this man's achievements, I disagree with the fact that you can't be happy to lift or be an elite lifter. Plenty of the strongest people in the world have been also some of the happiest, drugs or no drugs.

[@DiegoTelmo]

This guy is big inpiration for me.

[@misanthropy6690]

Did he die?

[@larppa666]

Mighty Ravendark Nope just deadlifted american record recently.

[@RQ17s]

He is still alive and kicking some serious ass!

[@TheNin0007]

It sounds cool and hardcore but cmooon.... you dont have to be depressed to be successful athlete!!!

[@lifeofnicholashall]

To be on Georges level you have to be different in some way than everybody else. And being depressed and angry sure works a lot better than listening to "Simply Red" and smiling while deadlifting.

[@sheridanlongdog1735]

Zydrunas Savickas and Brian Shaw both have epic deadlifts and they come across as kind gentle giants. Real men keep their mouth shut and get the job done.

[@astarothwormfeast8423]

Emily Hawke Everyone is different.

[@popra007]

Man, u don't have discipline...discipline makes u absolutely strongest, fastest, and healthiest!

[@tiagovasc_]

No. THEDJSKAY1 did.

[@troponinnutrition]

He doesn't really kill babies, right? I hope that's just a nickname or youtube should put a trigger warning or something

[@tiagovasc_]

troponinnutrition Is that even a serious question?

[@troponinnutrition]

***** yes--he calls himself a babyslayer. I hope that isn't true, but it is still triggering and should have a trigger warning

[@tiagovasc_]

Trigger warnings are for fucktards who get offended by anything and think they're a special snowflake and the center of the Universe. As far as his nickname, no, it's obviously not because he eats babies. He has a video explaining it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaPCo3ioatCXeNU

[@troponinnutrition]

I'm not clicking that link bait unless there's appropriate trigger warnings

[@tiagovasc_]

Troll attempt 4/10

[@Thebonesoftrees]

the mental part is why i love lifting, i dont agree with the supplements, but you can do what you like, i drink beer and smoke weed so who am i to judge, set goals and go for them, cheers and thanks. if a man carries himself like a pussy he will be used like one...

[@gerritzalm2447]

10:29

[@batiittos]

2:25 what the hell yolo?

[@DefineStrength]

great vids! would you mind checking out my deadlift vid? give me some pointers???

[@seekn.destroy4064]

I watched Platoon so I know what's it's like to serve my country in war. Same analogy of the Ebook wizard.
