Powerful messaging James. Especially the part about the old version of you having to die to become the person you are now. I haven't been shy ahout saying that you are one of my biggest inspirations on this platform and have helped me push my physical and mental limits in training, through your discipline and drive. Seeing the man you are now, who has cranked out 500 burpees in under half an hour and pushing through the darkness, and knowing what you have gone through in your past to get to this stage, is even more impressive and shows your heart and tenacity. Looking forward to a part 2 if you decide to make one, or any other training that you'll continue to share. You've got a loyal follower in me for as long as you are on this platform. Salute and respect brother.
Always value your input Justin. From our earliest exchanges I always wanted you to get your workouts on screen asap. Though we forged a path on alternative routes . . Burpees brought us together. A movement as simple & basic as it seems, but have created many different types almost like musical notes. Discipline & drive have saved me. I try to embody the person, the younger version of myself died to become . . . Thank you Justin.
James ... watched it entirely and I feel compelled to comment. The last 2 minutes hit me. The fact to say I love you to people and to do something for others is the "meaning" of life I had to deal and I am still dealing with a life changing event, with the passing of my girlfriend 5 weeks ago, after 1 year of disease. I had the pleasure to be there for her everyday during the hardest imaginable times. We should never take it for granted that we can be of service for the people we love. Our closed ones are everything and being there for them and the fortress in hardships is everything that counts. I was hesitating to speak about it in a video, but here you are opening up about your demons. Thank you my brother. You nailed it
Simon . . I’d never be able to comprehend the thoughts or feelings your going through right now. These times are there to test us as individuals. Your on the right track. There’s always sunshine after the passing rain . . . I’m dealing with the breakdown of my own. Lost my best friend/other-half/wife/family etc. You take it a day at a time I guess. Felt compelled to describe my feelings. This isn’t for views or likes. I want to look back at this in the future & see how far I’ve come . .
@@jamesbrews8608 thank you my man, day by day is exactly what keeps me on track at the moment Appreciate your words my friend, you did an awesome job with the video
Cannot imagine what that's been like Simon. Words can be cheap but I sincerely am wishing you as well as you can be as you get through this stage of your life. Looking forward to seeing your return, when you are truly ready. Until then, keep going brother.
Great video. I'm dealing with mild depression and anxiety and it's a burden I need to keep in check at all times. When you mentioned in another video that you were going through struggles it came as a surprise since the way you carry yourself made you look kinda invincible. A good reminder that you never know what another person has to deal with. Thanks for being open and I hope you gonna make more videos talking about the overcoming part, it helps dealing with my own issues.
You never know what another person is dealing with. Thank you for the kind sentiments. I’ve bottled this in for long enough. Your support means a lot to me pal.
Thank you for sharing James, your honestly and openness are inspiring, as well as your ability to face your challenges and learn and heal from them. I've shared a bit of my own challenges with mental health, anxiety, and the enormous pressure they can place on the body as well as mind - so I'm definitely moved by your story.
You’ve been a godsend in terms of support Eric, I can’t thank you enough. Times passed by . . One door shuts another door opens. Every experience is a learned one. You choose the path to life . . .
Thank you Daniel. Watched my video back after you sent your message. I couldn’t watch it for a while. Was more raw nearly a year ago but time brings clarity & understanding. Your comment means a lot pal.
Hey you're welcome my man , and I really think it helps to talk about the trials and tough times we all experience . I did 100 1 pump jump and squat every 15 seconds last night and really enjoyed it. I will do it again and try for one every 10 seconds. Keep well brother 💪
Respect James I’m happy you are still here to be able to share this with us! Life can be fantastic but also very tough it’s amazing to here some of the struggles others have to pass and realising that we are all going through our own mental challenge, we need to be nice to people and treat them with respect no matter what,your a good man James keep fighting salute brother 🫡💪🏻
Thank you Jay. Experiences are what make us. The right mindset is mandatory to taking that next step. Discard the rest. Always value your input & mindset 🙌
Take my hat off to you James, brave of you to tell your story and it will give hope to others finding themselves in a similar situation,well done mate 👍💪👊
That takes a lot of courage to be this open about your personal challenges james, this is just another win on your road to the life you want, inspiring video mate. Much respect.😉
@@jamesbrews8608 No problemo. Sometimes. I like doing them but they're not my mainstay. I have a garage gym, so do burpees from time to time. 6-Counts are my go-to. Keep up the good work. Stay healthy, pal.
Thank you John - its been a tough last year, I can’t lie but there’s light at the end of the tunnel. You’ve been there & Ive got nothing but plaudits for you.
Appreciate you getting in touch mate. Really means a lot. I’ll bring another upload soon. I’ll do another follow-up soon. Life happens, it’s how you get up that counts.
@@jamesbrews8608 Hello again James. The holidays are upon us, I hope you’re enjoying the season. Looking forward to another upload when you get the chance. As always, hope life is treating you well. Best wishes James. Keep grinding-John.
You mentioned that you felt that you weren't good at anything...well, you are really good at burpees for sure. You could probably beat most 'burpee practitioners' of TH-cam cus you're so fast..
Thank you Peter. Feelings come & go but experiences are there to learn from . . . I value each one whether good or bad. Time to get back on the wagon. Burpees are awaiting our arrival.

@@justinliberman3970 Thank you so much Justin, I truly appreciate that my friend!
Words can be cheap but I know coming from you they are not
Thank you
Been thinking about where you've been at Simon.. take care and hope to see you again soon.

You never know what another person is dealing with. Thank you for the kind sentiments. I’ve bottled this in for long enough. Your support means a lot to me pal.
I’m no mental health expert, but it sure seems like talking aloud about whatever you’re going through is step #1. Props to you, James.
Exactly mate - being open about your struggles helps overcome them step by step. It’s baby steps but give it time & the healing will begin . .

Sometimes we have to break ourselves down to build something of ourselves better.
It’s a heartbreaking story, but it made you better.
Thank you Jetty. Exactly. Life isn’t about yourself. It’s about recreating yourself. Really appreciate it.
James this is powerful stuff. Always on the end of the phone.... ❤
Thank you Sue. Hope the family are well.
Really appreciate it.

Really appreciate it Tjibbe. I’ve been keeping a lot of things bottled up & it isn’t the way to be. Much respect.
That takes a lot of courage to be this open about your personal challenges james, this is just another win on your road to the life you want, inspiring video mate. Much respect.😉
Always appreciate your support mate. You’ve been sound as a pound. Can’t thank you enough. Time to get after it, burpees are awaiting our arrival 👊🏼
Nice, honest and courageous video, pal. Sincere best wishes from a fellow Aberdonian.
Really appreciate it mate.
Do you do burpee routines yourself?
@@jamesbrews8608 No problemo. Sometimes. I like doing them but they're not my mainstay. I have a garage gym, so do burpees from time to time. 6-Counts are my go-to. Keep up the good work. Stay healthy, pal.
No worries lad. If your ever needing a exercise buddy let me know!
@@jamesbrews8608 Will do, my friend. I'm sure we'll cross paths some time. Stay strong, pal. Keep doing the good work.
Hope all is well James. It takes guts to put yourself out on the internet. Like you said, keep grinding. Best wishes-John.
Thank you John - its been a tough last year, I can’t lie but there’s light at the end of the tunnel. You’ve been there & Ive got nothing but plaudits for you.
So inspiring, thank you for sharing, James!
Really appreciate it Jason. Onwards & upwards. Hopefully you can take this as a positive on the ladder of life.
Hey James just checking in. Hope life is going well for you and we’re looking forward to seeing your next upload. -John.

What made you, or interested you, in changing? You seem to have made 180 degree change.
I had to realise what was important within my life - staying stagnant was not a part of realising my goals. Thanks for asking.
You mentioned that you felt that you weren't good at anything...well, you are really good at burpees for sure. You could probably beat most 'burpee practitioners' of TH-cam cus you're so fast..
Thank you Peter. Feelings come & go but experiences are there to learn from . . .
I value each one whether good or bad. Time to get back on the wagon. Burpees are awaiting our arrival.
