Great Video ! I have been watching a few of your vids Brendan snd as someone who is trying to regain my fitness as a heart attack and heart surgery survivor, your video's are great motivation. I may have to try one or two of your challenges and pray I live hahahah ( my story is long and I am just starting to tell it.)

Great advice, I’ve loved watching your fitness videos over the years! I’m sort of restarting my fitness journey now. Of course gyms were closed for a lot of the pandemic and I needed money so I began working like crazy, so I ended up as skinny as I’d ever been (though somehow didn’t lose much muscle or strength once my gym finally reopened).
I was doing extremely well with calisthenics exercises, until I was hospitalized with post-vaccine myopericarditis last summer. Couldn’t exercise for almost 8 months while recovering and have had to take it slow as there are signs of loss of left ventricular function. I finally went back to the gym yesterday and I’ve lost a ton of strength, and have gained 10 lbs of fat. For example, I could once do 8 weighted chin ups with 35 lbs strapped around my waist, as well as 12 weighted dips with 35 lbs. Yesterday I could only 4 body weight chin ups and 5 dips, but at least I could still do more than 1!
Anyway, I’m glad to see this video because it reminded me that I know what I need to do and refreshed me on some mistakes I was making before the myopericarditis. Looking forward to getting fit again and thanks for your videos on the topic, they’ve kept me motivated many times!

Like most people, I found your channel via the Hugh Jackman workout video, and I've been a huge fan ever since! Loved seeing the increase in production quality. I also find your fitness journey particularly inspiring because it somewhat parallels mine, when you uploaded the aforementioned video is when I started getting into training properly. I'm the same height and (around) the same weight as you and our bodies are very similar. I used to see people on television and in media and assume I'm not training hard enough and I should be bigger, but I think us genetically average (no offense lol) white guys reach a kind of plateau around this level of muscularity, and while it's surmountable it's probably not easy to maintain much more muscle while living an ordinary life.
Anyway, this advice is great and I'm glad it wasn't a recitation of clichés that I've heard a million times. These are definitely aspects you need to consider if you wanna incorporate fitness into your lifestyle long-term!

This video isn't as glamorous as some of the challenges on this channel. However, in terms of actionable advice, I think it's your most valuable one yet. Here's to another five years of learning and improving!
