I love this reminder so much. Three years ago, I dropped over 50 lbs, completely removing processed sugars and high glycemic foods from my diet, I also started working out for the first time. My life has gone through some stressful situations, and I continued to workout, but slowly put the weight back on as I fell back on old patterns. My weight is back up to almost where I started, and I was feeling really disappointed and upset at myself. The thing is, even with the weight gain, I can still run as long and as fast as before, I can lift more weight, and despite all the weight gain, a good amount of it is muscle. I keep comparing myself to where I was, but you reminded me to look at where I am and how my priorities changed- and that is okay.

Now I realize that this year I value more becoming a better game programmer while finishing university than to achieve the perfect physic. Until last summer I had pushed 5 days a week of training because my values and my goals were aligned, and now it has changed and I am punishing myself for not going to the gym 5 days and not eating "perfectly" just because it is not what makes me happy right now. Anyway, this doesn't mean that I will stop training, or that I will eat junk food, it just menas that I am gonna try my best without punishing me for not being perfect.

Hello Eugene (and ofcourse, the community) ✌🏼 This Video really helped me a lot. You really spoke to me, because I've been in a similar situation in my life. Specifically last year, where I've managed to reach my goals in terms of a specific physique. However, I've lost that drive completely towards the beginning of 2023. Going to the gym or even training with my own bodyweight just wasn't fun anymore from this point on. I couldn't force myself to do it for the life of me. In the past months I have felt extremely guilty and pretentious because I have given up this thing, the gym, even though it used to be such a central part of my life. Your video however shows me, that my values and former actions may be unaligned. I've got some thinking to do, but I'm certain, that I want to have fun during my activities, rather than forcing myself in order to have "better" looks. Thank you!

The same for young men that are dying at age 30 for cardia arrest or damaging organs just to look hot at the expense of their fitness.

I've noticed I have natural cycle of being stronger and weaker in the gym. About 40 days from the strong point to the next strongest point. In the low part when I feel weak and in pain in some areas, I remind myself that I am a champion for showing up to the gym and doing my best that day. Sometimes it's not that fun, and you look at the numbers thinking, why is it this hard when I just did more 2 weeks ago. You got to catch those toxic self comparisons before they take over and remind yourself that working out is not about always being strong, but always having the willpower to keep going.

I appreciate your channel because not only is it informative from a health/workout perspective, but because of your honesty regarding your path traveled. You mentioned getting stronger, but maybe at some point it's about the overall health balance and maintenance instead. I love that you talked about making cardio as part of your personal program, handstands, running, etc. It appears you were much "stronger" back in "the day", but I suspect while you might not be quite as strong that you are more athletic, flexible, etc.- and so I think intuitively you already now work in that direction/path without really gaining "strength" in a conventional sense per se. Either way, I like your channel, kudos on a job well done.

I really appreciate hearing this. I was in the best shape of my life maybe 2 years ago as a University athlete and I am now retired and feel like I've gone backwards but he is right. My values and needs changed as time went on.

At the very start of the vid due to the title I for some reason had the thoughts running through my head how the fitness influencer media industry has gone backwards in terms of body positivity and how it's starting to take a darker turn in regards to that. Pleasantly surprised it's the complete opposite and I highly appreciate so many online fitness coaches such as yourself still preaching healthy approaches to body building that focus on healthy and stable self-improvement opposed to subtly shaming people into not being as big as others are.

Your gym looks like an amazing peaceful vibe yet ironic because intense strenuous physical development occurs there! I fuck with that

Such a uplifting and fantastic video. We all need to hear this message instead of the same old garbage from the majority of fitness influencer's. Well done sir👍

Also just be healthy and grateful for having a body that works. I gave up caring so much about what I looked like and focused on a balanced life. Never looked back!
