Exercising can be really hard sometimes, but it always makes me feel better. Last year I had almost 320 lbs in body weight. One day I just started moving more, then slow running then I started doing weighted exercises, and I was eating clean by following a meal plan I got from Next Level Diet. Today I have 200 lbs and I am happy like I never been in my life, and so is my wife.
Enjoy being a dad. Became a dad 3 months ago to a perfect little boy. It can be struggling at times and no one can ever truly be prepared for a child. But man it’s worth it. Knowing you are responsible for the development of a human that you will mold into a better version of yourself and becomes a productive member to society and does big things.
As a fellow business owner, hybrid athlete, and husband, thank you for you consistent presence on TH-cam to keep me accountable. Keep up the awesome work brother!
I watch Nick on and off, and the very first video I saw was the Day in the life of an Infantry PL. it’s amazing how much has changed since then. Rock on nick
I love the leaner physique Nick has had since all the endurance training. Just seems a lot healthier looking to me. Excited for more lifting content though!
watching the sub 2:50 marathon video he has some clips in there from his first marathon - the size difference watching back to back is crazy. Definitely think he looks better now. Looks more athletic overall.
He does indeed look healthier but when I saw the footage of his first marathon, bro looked like a cornfed angry bull along with some runners. Also don’t forget his military background, army dudes like other branches too love to lift hardcore and eat tons of junk while doing their mandatory PT stuff.
This is my life as well Nick! Excited for you to have your daughter! My daughter is turning 11 weeks tomorrow. It's already been amazing seeing her transform before our eyes. You've gotten me back into running as well. I watch your videos and am training for my first marathon in 16 years.
As a father of 2 kiddos! When a “soon to be parent” ask me for advice I always tell them to enjoy the next 9 months with their spouses together. Nice to see you taking it all in nick !! Awesome video 👍🏻
Praying that the labor goes well Nick & Steph. Nick, it is hard to watch your wife suffer in pain of labor, but just be there to help mitigate the pain. Love you brother. Go ONE MORE!!
You make me want to be a better man, just across the board. On a day where i feel like I have too much to do or feel like being lazy, skipping a workout because i have chores or slacking off at work, I see a video like this and im like...man...I am not even coming CLOSE to my potential.
Starting my marathon prep. Wont be until next summer where I actually do it, but I’m starting now at 8 miles per week and going to gradually work up my volume over that time. I’ve been lifting consistently for about a year and a half, working my bench up from 205 to 275, but now I’m ready for that next step. Thank you for the advice and knowledge in your videos. Stay hard and go one more
WOW! This entire video spoke to me and encouraged me. I’m self reflecting on my daily choices and actions towards my personal/business goals! Thank you, Nick. I’m looking forward to meeting you, your team, and others in Austin, Tx in August to celebrate 10 years of BPN! GO ONE MORE
I love the videos and the inspiration for more exercise and nutrition. Someone else in the comments mentioned it but I'd love to see what a day of recovery and nutrition associated with that is like for you.
Think it’s brilliant how you adjust for the task you have set yourself. Along with allowing strength and stuff too drop, think that’s brilliant. I enjoy endurance running and climbing and the cross over isn’t also great results in one or the other. But for overall health, mixing it up is more fun. Nice one and amazing marathon time
Damn I ain’t trying to hate but my man…..don’t matter how much you plan for this stand by for gnarly change! Body and mind gonna feel things that you ain’t never felt before! Shit you can’t prep for! My oldest is 16 and it’s been 16 years since my last solid 8 hours of sleep 😂😂. I know netbangers may hate on this comment but just keeping it real. Nick is a chameleon and I’m sure homie will adapt just fine 👍🏽
I CANT get enough of these videos, not only do they motivate me for my next workouts. But also inspire me to work hard at my School, by which i cant afford a lifestyle Nick currently is living! Cheers xx
Nick if I can share one thing with you and I’m sure you have heard this already. Take in those first few years with everything you have brotha. My son will be Six this year and I can’t believe it. His personality is coming into his own. We are going to be trying for our second this year. The last few podcast you have done with some of the guest speaking on being a parent are spot on. Good luck to you both and can’t wait to see the family content in the future! Go One More!
Hey, I did my first marathon this Sunday at Rio. I remembered some moments of your journey during the course haha. Great inspiration. I hope your business keeps growing, may God bless you and your home. Hope to meet you personally when I visit US.
Hey Nick, i really like you'r story, you'r mental attitude you are so authentic. The Videos are very inspiring for me, i really enjoy every one of them. I live in Germany and wanted to order a bpn cap. it is unfortuanetely not possible to order it on the bpn website. Is there any possibility to order it? Sorry for my bad english, best wishes from bavaria. Freddy
nick bare for president! if our government looked at problem solving the way you do...well you know. anyways, always motivated by your content. best of luck with the next month. LIFES about to change, but you know that and are prepared. thanks nick
@@danalmasan Regardless it’s still takes skill, talent and determination to do what he’s doing, it’s his body so he can do what he thinks is right to put into it or do to it.
People love to accuse others of being on gear when in reality they just put in more work than you. I’ve never used gear but been accused of it a number of times. I ask those people where were you when I was hitting the gym every day at 6am for years? I don’t know whether Nick does it or not, but it doesnt matter cause none of you don’t either. It’s easy to accuse others because they have a better physique. Work harder and cut the bullshit.
A race (5k, 10k, half marathon, etc) for the 10 year anniversary of BPN would be cool, winner gets a 1 year supply of supplements. Boom advertising on all fronts!!!
Nick, do you not feel tired sometimes? I try to exercise every day, like 4 sets of 20 push ups, 4 sets of crunches, pull ups, squats. But in some days i feel so exhausted, maybe it's too much, i guess i need a day for resting.
Take a few weeks off or with reduced mileage, then make sure you increase mileage VERY slowly to avoid shin splints. Start as low as you need to to avoid pain then increase distance by no more than 10% per week. It won’t feel good at first to be running really short distances, but you’ve gotta be in it for the long game and build up distance slowly
Focus on rolling out your calves and the bottom of your feet. A lot of the time, shin splints can happen with muscle tightness and fatigue. Look up “knees over toes guy” as well. He posts a ton of info about mobility/bodyweight movements and I’m sure he’ll help. Good luck!
The best result against shin splints I personally achieved with a lacrosse ball, like a black roll but as a ball. Push it tight into the sides of your shin (mostly the inner side) and roll down slowly with pressure and repeat that. You can also do circles or whatever feels good. Trust me you'll feel it and it will probably hurt a lot in the beginning, but it will quickly get better. You are basically loosening the tight muscles attached to the bone structures of your shin, which is a normal reaction to load, but causes the pain, until you fix the cause and the tightness gets released. Speaking from airborne military experience and marathon training.
There’s no set amount you need to run. A key is to increase distance slowly over time to avoid injury, so don’t increase distance by more than 10 percent per week. There are a lot of marathon training plans you can find online and on TH-cam, just find one that works for you. And again, don’t increase mileage too quickly. Good luck!!
If you have Nick’s fitness program, he has dedicated marathon training you can try. Type nickbarefitness.com, and the instructional videos will guide you
I know you did that great video with Nick Symmonds competing with each other and was wondering if you'll be out in Eugene this summer for the Track and Field championships?
With 100 degrees, if you over do it in time, you will break down muscle tissue from burning too many calories. Better eat ya cornbread and pinto beans to keep that muscle mass
Soon Nick will have 1 million subscribers and will break into a high status position as a man. House, money, followers, influence, physical stud. I’m surprised this dude’s still married.

His heart is probably 3x normal size from all the running ;o)
if there is more strength training content in the future, I will be here watching much more! Getting excited!!!

Dropped a 1:28:27 in the half marathon a 9min PR in the heat and humidity! Thanks for all the info about electrolytes and hydration!
Love the video! Can you make one on how to properly pace a long run? I’ve been struggling avoiding walls towards the end of my long runs. Thanks!

Hey Nick , you probably won't see this but I'd just like to say, you inspire me so much to get in shape to run and build some muscle
Thanks alot
U really motivates me in a positive direction..a mindset thankz for the good advice an good talking skill

I love the song in the background of the deadlifting
No point doing heavy deadlifts or squats, alls you need is one bad day and your finished. Only should be done if its your career. Stay strong💪

On the money brother. Nick will do great as a dad but damn there is just nothing you can do to prepare you for being s dad lol
You are an inspiration. Keep grinding
Insane question, but what're the silver shorts Nick's rocking during the strength session?
My man is deadlifting to “A Letter to Ashley” by Your Broken Hero….. Epic
Guy puts in the work!!! No days off!!!💪💪💪
what kind of coffee maker do you have? Where you dispensed hot water for your Peak Sleep supplement?
You’re the best, dude.
I wanna see the homie Nick get into some CrossFit competitions. I know the dude would murder it
I move to downtown Austin august 13th
The way he was capable of maintaining muscle while all of that endurance training is very impressive. Not many can do that.

Hi Nick,
Love the content!
What equipment do you use to film your videos (camera, any tripods, etc)?
You are a great leader Nick. So happy for Steph, you and you new baby girl!! What your doing with BPN is amazing! Alway enjoy your videos
Improved marathon. Improving strength. And more importantly you improved the bbq skils congrats man
I CANT get enough of these videos, not only do they motivate me for my next workouts. But also inspire me to work hard at my School, by which i cant afford a lifestyle Nick currently is living! Cheers xx
You might wanna 10x the Peak Sleep when the baby arrives 😬😆

crazy how much muscle and strength you still have despite all the running you do. You are a beast
That's what exogenous compounds will do for you. I'm thinking TRT 🤷♂️

Love the content Nick!! Wishing you all the best with the birth of your daughter coming up :)
So glad your lifting heavy again
Love your story Nick!! Keep doing you and all the prayers for ya'll and the arrival of your daughter.

are we gonna see you pull a 500lb deadlift + 1 mile run in 5 minutes? 😃 i feel like you already have that challenge in the bank
1Such an amazing video full of awesomeness! 13:20 Mile doesn't feel like going for a run lol
That is the life i want to have!!!! Congrats Nick!!!
Nick is on TRT also like coach Greg and Remington James
Aight, you keep throwing out books and I never remember them, could you possibly do a post or video on the books that you've read?
Crazy how he keeps that physique with how good of a runner he is.
Crazy indeed. So crazy that it seems almost unreal...or unnatural

Look at your sleep and nutrition. If those are good, then you MIGHT be over trained.
Get some bloods done if you are getting adequate sleep and good wholesome nutrition. Look for low iron levels, low vit b12, vitamin D etc.

What vlog camera do you use?
5:33 music pls
Bruh, I thought an SJD video was playing right before Nick jumped off the boat @ 1:12
How do I get a job at BPN?
Just imagine how strong you’ll get with the dad strength factor

But how is dude able to deadlift as heavy as he just did and then run 8 miles the next day?

Just bought that hat! Sick bro!
My boy said slap a little different 😂😂 had to feel awkward. Love Nick ❤️
Good vlog.
I'm a 13 year old boy, how much can I run a day training for long distance?
what is a long distance to you?
The most I've ran is 8.5 miles, I want to train for half marathon and full marathon.
