    “Cry when you need to cry, laugh when you need to laugh”
    Man I feel that, even when you said that song trigger some memories and emotion it makes you wanna do that much better in life. Thanks for being real man I thought I was the only one that would cry sometimes when I get emotionally sitting at home bro.

    Loved this video and appreciate you speaking about crying. I suffer from PTSD OCD Anxiety and Depression. I battle every day to stay on this Earth. I am just trying to connect with someone who understands. My first memory is being told my Dad died. It was days before my 3rd birthday. He was a Firefighter and died on duty after saving two kids from a flooded River. I just want to try and connect. I don’t have close family or friends to lean on. Seeing your your openness helps. I don’t know if you will read this but thank you for inspiring me, making me feel like I’m not alone. I am adding working out to my mental health routine because of your simple comments. Thank you for your time and energy.

    Everyone has emotion of course but you’re going all the way to the very top because of that raw emotion that you display in everything you do. You don’t shy away from being real to look like more of a “man” and it’s very humbling to see. Love that

    Great drive and unbelievable thickness. The boys at the Olympia are in a different class than the Europa or the British Grand Prix and Mr. HOllingshead is, and will be a worthy competitor. It will be interesting to see how he'll do against the up and comers like Labrada, Grimes, Vaillant, Williams.
    Ramy, Bonac, Curry, Choopan all are outstanding "top of the heap" performers, which won't make any of this easy for Hollingshead.

    Love your content.
    Going back through old vids to review nutritional info with you.
    Hope you'll always give tips and hints for successes in BB.
    ps... your comments on using music that moves your emotional moods is spot on.
    I frequently use music that others would scoff at, for my own motivational profit.
    I never train with noise in my ear... only what is positive for me.
    I don't need to explain that to anyone who doesn't understand the connection of mind, body, SPIRIT.
