my god he seems so much more calm, cool and collected in this video and he was obviously younger. no cursing, or yelling, and on top of that he is humble within reason.
"I like to do pause-reps sometimes and think about the things that have been going on in my mind throughout the day and how anxious I am to get to the gym and just work out." - CT Fletcher.
One thing I trully enjoy at the gym is that feeling of being myself with me thinking freely under the pressure of a set and trying to catch my breath for another round.
Khabib cherrypicking Weight bully it was mainly because he wasn’t personally releasing the video himself. If it was all him in the release there wouldn’t be any filters
3:57 Lets go big man.... come on now.... lets have some fun lets go.... come on big man.... lets go team.... come on now, lets go big man.... JUST THROW IT AROUND BIG MAN COME ON JUST ANOTHER STEP AND STONE COME ON NOW!!!! lets go team... come on big man... just throw it around.... you got this, you got this come on what're you gonna do.... here you go.... here you go, you got it.... come on team... come on team..... blow it away, lets go...... come on = CT started benching 4:35
@Cyber Simba 6 White people words? You mean having an education and knowing the right words to use? Boy you need to take your dumbass back to a classroom.
This was before the steroids fucked up his hormones. No lie, all of my circle of friends that lifted were on it and every single one of them were completely different people after a few cycles. Irritable, Prone to raging/flared tempers,,etc. EVERY SINGLE ONE. They'll deny it, but it's 💯 true.
@@bigbird7838 I dont think CT gives a fuck what you think he should speak like lol. The world needs more people staying true to themselves then trying to change because of some dude sitting on a fuckin couch commeting on how someone should change simply because they don't like how they act. No one gives a fuck. CT doesn't.
Wow, watching him from back then just tells me how time flies. It reminds me of the movie called "Life" kinda sad watching people age. Enjoy your life people, tomorrow is NOT garranteed.
CT, gotta love this man, old CT n current CT, night n day, I like both, guys a legend, wish I had him talking shit thru my headphones everyday at d gym
@John Doe you idiot. I'm talking about how nice and calm CT is for the size he is. It's a nod to The Hulk, hence the gamma radiation. I follow CT religiously so this was a compliment. Save the insults. Obviously you didn't get it 🤷♂️🤦♂️.
Watching ct work helped me out a lot. It validates the fact that you don't need to follow cookie cutter workouts to get strong. Thanks CT. Maybe I'll try and videotape my workout routines on my upcoming deployment.
Ct is strong as fuck but Mark Henry holds the record of most bench presses of 225. 53 reps. Mark Henry still holds the records. and he's still the world's strongest man
+The Psycho Man no, mark Henry inst the worlds strongest man, he was a great weightlifter. but there are many power lifters/strongmen that would be much stronger than him
LOL This is a great video to see after watching the "current" videos. CT still worries about his belly showing. But you can see, he was destined to make videos! this is cool.
I'm 14 weigh 170 and I've benched 205 for 2 reps. After two years of training my bench has gone up 50 pounds. Shout out to any other young lifters like myself, just keep training hard and you'll only get stronger!
He was def still crazy here and had the same spirit. He was just restrained for the camera. You don't get to benching that kind of weight being a sane person.
"You probably don't know me now, but you will." You had nooooo idea haha.
He is 290p in this video & looks boulder, think about Ronnie Coleman, same height with 350p gains!!
Artwork by Christopher Cayco your dam rights
It sounds like he actually... did know. ;)
Artwork by Christopher Cayco Yes he had
@@blacknwhiteking ct is a powerlifter without drugs roniie used to take every possible drug and ronnie is a bodybuilder so😬
The man has 405 on the bar, and paused it on his chest while having a conversation with the camera for over 5 seconds. Iconic.
11seconds* bro
@@alphabps that’s over 5 seconds..
@@2hypebane774 way over 5 seconds
@@alphabps Obviously but you tried to correct him when he was already right lol..
He had to think about life
Pauses 405 and thinks about life
Lmao
ZUZAINFINITY that shit was crazzzzzy!!!
LMAO
Meeting him in a dark alley he would've had to have gotten shot period...CT. Fletcher is still a beast!
Lol
he was the bob ross of weightlifting
nows he's the Danny Bonaduce
Alex Snellman
*Powerlifting
Yeah, was.
@Carl Johnson what? Now he yells as a way of living, nothing like Bob Ross. Now he reminds me of the full metal jacket leutenant.
Nah that’s John meadows
Pauses during 405, writes a book, thinks about life, then reps out 3 more
Eric Holtmeyer it was actually 6 more reps after!
*6*
Insane!!!!
that's some scary shit
One of my fav power lifting vids of all time. The clanking plates, the explosivity, and the flawless form all while moving crazy weight.
A young man who knows how to express himself without the use of foul language.
i was thinking the same exact thing.
he only played nice infront of cameras
What a great example he sets to all the young people watching this video. He's a credit to his Parents, what pride they must feel.
Check him out now...🤯
@@esva835
The post was written with some degree of mutha fvkin' sarcasm.

the amount of power this man had...incredible
damn this version of CT Fletcher reminds me of Cleveland from Family Guy.
true😂😂

my god he seems so much more calm, cool and collected in this video and he was obviously younger. no cursing, or yelling, and on top of that he is humble within reason.
no, he said they wouldn't let him swear or be himself, mostly acting
yeah right after i commented i watch the video with him saying that.
1990HondaEFHatch then delete your original comment. Duh
Rusty Shackleford no, because i prefer the fake version of him to the real version. duh
You would think he would be that way at his age now 😂

I want this version of CT Fletcher back. He's so chill and cool
Nah savage mode CT is a game changer
I like the way how the reps are very smooth and the form being consistent irrespective of the increase in weight
he seems like a completely different person, he doesnt even look like his current self lol, if i didnt know I would NEVER make the connection
Specially now lol 5 years laterrrrr
CT has the voice of an angel :) You need to start making Christmas songs
Sorry to respond to such an old comment but I was just thinking he's got a great voice for narration.
Deeky 6 years later 🤣🤣🤣
@@fabmaserati better late then never!
He talks innocently in his younger days.
Because he had to, they were filters
he was composed and calm, had me wondering if this is CT
That's swagger he knew he was the shit

best part

-The Wise Words of CT Fletcher
EVERYTIME I see this dude videos I want to instantly work out. Him and Ray Lewis are the BEST exercise motivators ever.
The best part about the whole video, no cursing, I really enjoyed the video wished he done more like this.
Fuck that shit
What???? No cursing? CT cracks me up. Lol
Jonas Johnson
The reason he curses now is because it's all an act. He acts that way because people liek it and will watch his videos because of it.
People never listen to why he cuses he was always like that. They had to make sure kids could watch these videos
@@jld7779 yeah what the hell are those.

This man is a legend glade ur ok and the surgery went good bless up man and press up
Good old fashion workout.Nothing beats the basics.Thanks CT.Peace brother.
CT is the man. I don't care if he was natural or not. That was still an amazing display of power.
You should care cuz if he is not that than he is a deceitful judas priest.
Awesome seeing you in your prime!!
this is back when he couldn't swear on tv and had to be proper on camera.
lol
Demolition Backhand right
I like him here better then now

the difference between this CT and the current CT is like the difference between sherman klump (nice guy) and buddy love (wise talkin badass)..
1:44 early signs of insanity in developement
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
MUCH RESPECT from brazil.This man is a legend.
Full reps with no remorse. What a beast this guy is!
What a legend! How can you not like this guy?
He coulda did that 225 with one hand back then jesus chris
CT was and still is a real deal .
I like his older vibe better, so smooth. Why he isn't an RnB superstar?
Best video I've seen all year.
Wow.. that was the easiest 315 bench press I ever seen
MMAReignsSupreme 5%er ever seen Larry wheels?
Tyreek Hill he posted that before Larry was a big deal but here in NY he’s been well known for quiet some time
Easiest 405 I’ve ever seen plus the pause my gawd 😂
Then you need to watch larry wheels and then you gonna see what speed means
@@alexakos1223 well Larry ain't natty sooo
This is your best video yet!
Love CT. This was my first time seeing as a young cat and hes still the same man. God bless him
Brother you are a beast....great video. That pause was something else.
Wow, watching him from back then just tells me how time flies. It reminds me of the movie called "Life" kinda sad watching people age. Enjoy your life people, tomorrow is NOT garranteed.
A classic. His attitude towards his craft and life is epic!
CT, gotta love this man, old CT n current CT, night n day, I like both, guys a legend, wish I had him talking shit thru my headphones everyday at d gym
That laugh at the end was a glimmer of the current CT Fletcher coming out. Amazing.
I can't stop watchin this vid of ct. Just pure unadultrated power!!
Legends are coming back to watch this in 2023
Dude is a monster, and really just fun to watch and listen to..
thank you ct for uploading this i was looking for this long time
When the guy from Reading Rainbow gets introduced to gamma radiation, he turns into CT Fletcher when he's happy lol...rather than being angry.

2:11 "Nothing sounds sweeter than a couple of fourty five's slappin together!" - Always got that in my head when I am bout to hit a heavy rep xD
"You'll notice I'm not using immense weight on this... cuz I don't feel like it!"
Watching ct work helped me out a lot. It validates the fact that you don't need to follow cookie cutter workouts to get strong. Thanks CT. Maybe I'll try and videotape my workout routines on my upcoming deployment.
I think you were WAY stronger than DA Hulk CT Back then
is he stronger than kali muscle?
+Henry Nava of course Kali muscle is a scrub especially compared to this guy
+Henry Nava no but close lol
Ct is strong as fuck but Mark Henry holds the record of most bench presses of 225. 53 reps. Mark Henry still holds the records. and he's still the world's strongest man
+The Psycho Man no, mark Henry inst the worlds strongest man, he was a great weightlifter. but there are many power lifters/strongmen that would be much stronger than him
Much prefer this version of CT. Much more chill, much less ego
He's benching 315 like he's benching 135. BEAST!
A lot of you in the comments are not familiar with hard work. CT was natural then and now it’s called eating a lot of food.
Watching him kill my one rep max like its nothing, and politely offering advice on lifting and life simultaneously....
Now I see what he means when he says he’s nothing like he used to be😱🤯 this mans an inspiration
This looks like the training video you watch before you get hired lol
Man…love this dude so much more back in the day.
Must have been a Sunday after church lift .
I like this old, calmer CT Fletcher a lot more.
“Nothing sounds sweeter then a couple of 45’s slapping together”!! 😎
I like the casual way he talks.
i struggled to make it to 330 bench with my ass a couple inches off the bench and he throws 315 around like it's 135😒
Well secret is double cheeseburgers
Me and my dad used to watch these before the gym👍🙏
This is CT motherfu... oh wait . This is CT Fletcher !!! No swearing !!!
This is the most beautiful form ive ever seen:’)
LOL This is a great video to see after watching the "current" videos. CT still worries about his belly showing. But you can see, he was destined to make videos! this is cool.
The Bob Ross of weight lighting
That's right folks you heard the man, 290lbs of drug free muscle...
The sound of the plates is awesome. We need this in nowadays gyms
“Drug free.” He’s always been a funny guy!
CT should be in the Hall of Fame!This guy is so inspiring.Just a fucking legend!
I'm 14 weigh 170 and I've benched 205 for 2 reps. After two years of training my bench has gone up 50 pounds. Shout out to any other young lifters like myself, just keep training hard and you'll only get stronger!
He seems so humble.
Awesome man, very motivating.
The best video of all time 💪
"i have instructed the cameraman not to film my stomach" hahahaha
Wow look how young CT is and he was a total bad ass and still is if you ask me . Boston loves the Fletcher
You should create your DVD workouts just like P90X and insanity i think everyone would buy it.... you're a beast btw.
Damn CT, you look better now than you did before! Mad Respect.
No elbow sleeves, no wrist wraps
Pure beaty. I like watching people bench heavy weights with good form
Amazing CT Fletcher. I started bench pressing yesterday . and i love it ...
I thought he was going to throw that 135 threw the roof!!!
Lifting with the bob ross quotes 😂😂
Big macs are a drug
lol!!!!
Haha your profile pic too
I wish my gym had metal plates. They make an amazing sound
Cleveland Brown was once jacked
😂😂😂
My dad use to always tell me how much he loved the sound of cast iron plates slapping together. It is a nice sound 🤣
Damn , now he's crazy .
+Levi Cordell I was thinking the same thing lol
He was def still crazy here and had the same spirit. He was just restrained for the camera.
You don't get to benching that kind of weight being a sane person.
+Levi Cordell lmao i laughed so hard that i farted,burped and pissed myself all at the same time:)peace
slim pickinsworld lol
+Levi Cordell lol so true he was a black gentleman back in the day.
Nice video. CT then and now is interesting.
A vast difference. CT is the man
Why is the spot guy standing there for the 135 and 225? Lmao
It's a ritual thing when you got alternating partners.
The good old days. I remember what I did in my twenties and thirties lifting heavy.
Natural my ass
FUAAARK fuck up
salute to ct fletch..he doin his thing
I cracked up when he said drug free lol. He definitely took steroids during that time period lol.
Nah
