For those that would like to support Jared, check out his motivational apparel brand Wellsywear; he currently stores the stock in the middle of his living room. It would be cool to see his business grow! : www.wellsywear.com/
This guy made awesome work, im mirin. Im curious if Wim Hof Method would help him with his disease. If it is possible please let him know about whm maybe he will find it interesting and try it out
My son is 16 with heartfaiulre and is going through the same feelings that Jared was going through before his transformation. He was born with tretology of fallot and has had open heart surgeries several times. He has been in and out of the hospital most of his life. My son's situation is a challenge he actually needs to loose weight to improve his health and we have tried everything but despite anything the doctors explain or we explain, it seems he's given up. I am forwarding this video to him with hopes that it will inspire him. It definitely has inspired me. Thank you for sharing.
If you ask someone how to enter Heaven, they will most likely say, "Be a good person." Well the Bible says that none is good, no not one. We like to compare ourselves to guys like Hitler and say, "Hey, I'm a pretty good guy compared to him." But when we compare ourselves to God's standard, we realize that the Bible speaks truth when it says that we all sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God! When we see this ( our sin in its TRUE light), we see how much trouble we are in and we say, "Well then there's nothing I can do. I'm going to hell for sure then." It's true that there is nothing that WE can do, but there is something that has already been done for you! God sent His One and Only Son to die on a cross as a sacrifice for our sins! So to recieve that eternal sweet sweet forgiveness, all we must do is repent of our sins (meaning to continually turn from them and confess them) and trust alone in Christ as you trust a parachute. If I was to push you out of an airplane, you'd want the parachute for sure! Don't try to flap your arms and save yourself, trust in the parachute!! His finished work on the Cross IS ENOUGH!!! He is the only way to Heaven, He said it Himself!! These other religions teach that we must he good and do good things and then maybe if we've been good enough, we will enter Heaven. But if that is true then we are all doomed to eternal hell because none of us are good. That's why this makes sense. Look at the Ten Commandments, they are written on your heart right now!! I promise that you have violated them. And you might still be doing that today. Therefore God is just to poor out His wrath on you because you deserve it!!!! I do too but Christ died for me anyway so that I can spend eternity in Heaven with Him!!!! Turn to Him today, and He and only He will save your soul! "Verily, verily I say unto you, you must be born again ( to go to Heaven)."✝️
@@tedtod4489 nah I’m good g, God gives kids leukemia and creates kids just to starve to death in sub Saharan Africa. If the son of man gives you existential purpose, that’s good for you g
As a physician I am embarrassed by my profession and the ignorance that most docs have when it comes to strength training and exercise. Telling a kid with 35% lung function to do a bunch of cardio is absolutely ridiculous. By the grace of god Jared had the sense to pack on some muscle and gain some strength. And it probably saved his life. Stay strong my friend.
There's no need to be embarassed by your whole profession just because they don't get some aspects right. Health is a complicated field and they are bound to get q few things wrong. On the balance though, physicians save lives and improve health outcomes at a population level. Doesn't mean the field shouldn't keep striving for improvement, but it's still among the most noble professions around. A lot of us seemingly healthy people would've been dead were it not for treatment from physicians that we now take for granted.
I knew a kid with CF and we were all warned we'd lose him before he would grow to be an adult. He hit 16, still alive and started lifting. I don't keep in touch these days to know how he's doing but last time we did speak he was a 30 year old jacked, healthy man
It seems common sense that gaining muscle weight and exercising would improve ANYONE'S condition. But these doctors don't use common sense, just what they read in a book or online.
Yes, more research needs to be done. If it happened more than once it is possible that there is a trend being overlooked. That's why case studies are important. Physicians need to be incentivized to do more research. They should be paid for the time they spend building a case study for example.
Jared, I quit working out about 10 years ago because of severe depression. I'm 70 years old now and have been trying to get back into lifting weights again. Your story, courage and will power has given me all the motivation I need to get strong again. Thank you. You are a Great Soul.
Meditate daily, and repeat in your mind "I work out several days a week and I enjoy working out." People program themselves daily with negative thoughts, so you have to program yourself with positive thoughts, and they are more powerful during meditation/self hypnosis.
One of my brother's friends suffered from Cystic Fibrosis. He was so miserable that he took his own life. The fact that Jared had CF AND lung cancer sounds like hell on earth. So happy that he's currently pulling through and finding gains in both life and muscle mass.
I am 14 years old with cystic fibrosis. I am 5 foot 11 and weigh 68kg. Seeing this video has made me grateful for every thing I am. My heart aches for the less fortunate like Jared and it just seems unfair that I am so lucky and so many others are not. Thank you Jared for making me a grateful better person.
I’m a 60 year old carrier of CF. I have heart issues and a cyst on my spine. But at one time I was a top athlete in powerlifting and martial arts. Your story has motivated me to get back in my gym and start lifting again and stop feeling sorry for myself. My doctors say just to lay around and take it easy, I’m not happy doing that. I’m happy when I’m lifting heavy things, that’s always been my main passion in life. To push myself beyond my limits. God bless you.
@@PaulBlartGaming it’s important to acknowledge other people’s struggles, but that doesn’t mean your struggles don’t matter. Truly privileged individuals wouldn’t even care about the struggles of those who are suffering.
This is one strong kid. My lovely aunt had CF, doctors said “she won’t live long enough to see her teens” She finally succumbed to the disease, but not until reaching 65 years old 💪🏻
@@IAmTheRealUsopperGoddamnit We are called upon to spread the good news, so it is absolutely necessary, though I think Avocado should've used more relevant scripture. Then again he might be a bot.
@@Distress. you can believe whatever you want, buy if your Religion tells you to keep spreading it by being annoying, then im sorry to say this but your Religion is fucking shit.
My uncle is my idol. He was born with cystic fibrosis also. Like you said the mucus clogged his airways and made it very hard for him to breathe, but he never let this stop him. He was always there for me wether it was me feeling sad or his last Christmas with me, he always made time to care for not only me, but other people. In 2018 he had a double long transplant. We were told the chances of him surviving were low, but we continued praying to god and fighting with him. Fortunately god protected him throughout the operation and he survived. We were told that he still has the disease and his immune system would attack his new lungs so he was put on antibiotics to weaken his immune system. Even though he was extremely prone to the flue and recently corona he always was out working on his cars, or visiting us. In about late august 2022 he was getting increasingly I’ll and we were in Florida for vacation. When we got back he was hospitalized. At first the doctors told us he would be fine, but then a couple weeks later he got worse. So we headed back to the hospital and visited with him. Then the news came he had to be put on life support because he couldn’t breathe on his own, we later found out this was because of his immune system making a last ditch effort to get rid of the new lungs they thought was an invader. He was in terrible condition and because life support he couldn’t eat, so he had to be fed through an IV, which wasn’t enough. This was so sad because we knew his days were numbered. Unfortunately or fortunately however you look at it, we had to say our goodbyes to him. A truly Depressing thing to have to do. He told all of us he loves us and asked heroically to be taken off life support. He said he wanted to see his father god. So they did. They took him off and he passed within 30 minutes of that. It was truly devastating for me being just 12 years old at the time. But in a way he was like a blessing from god. Thank you for reading this far if you did and god bless you. Have a good day. ❤
I lost one of my best friends from cystic fibrosis a few years ago. He wasn't supposed to live past 14, but we had him with us until he was 27. I still think about him all the time. It warms my heart to see Jared's journey back to health. RIP Brandon ❤
Oh hey Jeff, just letting you know, your content is amazing, all my lifts have gone up super quickly since I started watching your channel, just hit a 308lbs squat pr thanks to your chance. Keep up the good work 👏
This really hits home. My girlfriend has CF, and she's pushed through so much and I couldn't be more proud of her. She's the toughest girl I've ever met
I lost a friend to this shortly after we graduated. I remember him being in the hospital alot with pneumonia and stuff. He made the best of his life while he was here. That was almost 30 years ago and I still miss Ricky to this day. Awesome guy and even better friend to have.
I was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis shortly before I turned 40. I have about 50% of my lung volume left now, but before medication it was only about 30%. I appreciate how hard Jared has done, because you have to understand that he hasn't been able to train as fully as a normal person. I myself should gain muscle mass so that I could withstand a possible future lung transplant surgery. It is the only help, medicines only slow down the progress of the disease. I have to pull myself together for the sake of myself and my children. The beginning is difficult because even going up the stairs takes all your strength. But as Jared showed, anything is possible if you want it.
@@string8439 Well, yes, I now started jogging and strength training with the elderly. The difference between me and Jarod is that I've never been a small person. I am 185 cm tall and weigh 110 kg. So you should just gain more muscle mass and lose weight. Of course, childhood sports and physical work done in youth provide a good foundation on which to build. Of course, this is difficult when you get out of breath easily and the recovery is longer, but one step at a time.
I will always have immense respect for those who walk into a gym and try to better themselves when they're at a serious disadvantage. Overweight, very skinny, devastated by illness, these are the people we need to root for at the gym. And it saddens me to this day that some will make fun of these people.
Those who make fun of these people don't know their backstory. If they knew, they wouldn't make fun of them. The moral: "Never make fun of someone because you don't know what you're talking about!"
No one starts off in shape.. that’s literally what the gym is for. It’s always the losers thinking everyone’s looking at them when I’m reality people only go to mind their own business & leave.
I am 75 years old with a single lung transplant. Most lung transplants last around 5 years, then you are gone. Jared's right. I am now 7 years out and in the gym 3 times a week. I just can't let my wife down!
@@Krimdon Today is my brother’s birthday. He passed earlier this year, and he was truly a legend in so many ways. Because of your comment, “legend” was the first thing I saw on my phone this morning-how appropriate to see that word on his birthday. Hehe I’m going to share the screenshot of my Lock Screen with loved ones. Wanted you to know that your comment is encouraging in more ways than one. Blessings to you! 😊
Jared, this is AMAZING! I can't imagine how many people you've inspired and continue to inspire with this journey. I've just started lifting again 2 weeks ago, and I fortunately don't have any condition like you do. I think that whenever I feel demotivated or feel like giving up, I will come back to this video to get that boost of motivation again! Never give up!
Such a motivational testimony from a real champ!!! Jared will continue to inspire millions of people. Wish him, his family and all the people currently overcoming deadly conditions all the best.!!!Cheers from Alberta - Canada!!!!
before cancer, I was a gymnast. I was relatively muscular and was always proud of my muscles. when I was diagnosed, within weeks of my first dose of chemotherapy, I watched myself shrink away, and the mirrors reflection looked like a stranger. a year later I'm finally able to go up the stairs without struggle. I had no idea this video was taken from the perspective of a cancer patient. I am thrilled that someone can actually build back a figure after fighting for their life.
Jared, I'm a competitive bodybuilder who has never faced anywhere near the challenges you have. You are a true inspiration. I am going to show this video to everyone I train. God bless you my iron brother.🏋♂️🧡
This may sound stupid or as total nonsense but many people are reversing "incurable" diseases by going vegan and or pesco-vegetarian (Best diet in the world. Look up Blue Zones by National Geographic). God bless...
Jared, People like you are born in a billion. Your attitude to not give up and bring a change in your life with the disease is really inspiring for people who are facing difficulties in there life. Keep going bro, like you said, never give up ❤
The first girl I ever fell in love with had CF, I've yet to get over her passing and she's been gone almost 20 years now. It's hard to go forward when you know how short their lives tend to be destined to be. Stay strong, keep fighting.
I'm not sure if this is appropriate to ask, but as a terminally ill person myself do you ever wish you never fell in love with her? I'm so scared of hurting the people around me
@@livyann2143 I miss her, it hurts, but I became a better person for it, so don't be afraid to love or let others love you... important thing, let them know it. Nobody regrets saying good things to people, only bad.
@@livyann2143 we’re all going to leave our loved ones. Easy for me to say, but when I lost my Father, I gained him as well; he is in my mind and heart every day, far more than whilst he was alive. You can change the direction of an entire generation with your love, short though it may be compared with the lucky ones.
Jared, you probably won't see this, but you're a fucking KING dude. What you've been through is shit no one should go through, you were dealt the worst hand, went on the verge of giving up everything, and you said "not yet" and climbed up that mountain. That's not easy man, but you did it and I have so much respect for you man, truly, I have SO much respect for you. Like Zyzz said, we're all gonna make it brahs, just keep grinding, you're the man.
@@king6530 When you are seriously underweight it's possible. Did you hear when he said he had 8" arms? That's insanely small. For a normal healthy not malnourished person 30lbs of muscle in 3 months is crazy but if you are seriously underweight it is most certainly doable.
@@rivermaster6910 I was seriously underweight and have been working out 6/7 days a week for past 2 months whilst consuming tons. I assure you I did not gain 30lbs of muscle.

May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter. Ameen. Hello ! Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time.. Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).._ Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI) Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy. Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI) Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad). Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning! Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures. Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement. It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them. (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad) Salam (Peace)….._
I had a classmate who had CF. She was the nicest, prettiest girl in the class. It was always fun to have her in class because her laugh was so contagious and beautiful. She passed away at 17. I wish I would've got to know her better before then.
I will always have enormous respect for folks that walk into a gym and strive to better themselves while being at a significant disadvantage. These are the folks we need to cheer for at the gym, whether they are overweight, extremely tiny, or have been ravaged by disease. WAY to go man!!

Amazing Story. Thank you. I am grateful for hero's like Jared to show us not only what we're capable of, but what we need to be grateful of. Thank you again..
My sister has this disease, and if it weren't for sports and new medicines, she would not be thriving in college. Thank you for this video, its great to spread knowledge and Jared is so inspiring!
If you ask someone how to enter Heaven, they will most likely say, "Be a good person." Well the Bible says that none is good, no not one. We like to compare ourselves to guys like Hitler and say, "Hey, I'm a pretty good guy compared to him." But when we compare ourselves to God's standard, we realize that the Bible speaks truth when it says that we all sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God! When we see this ( our sin in its TRUE light), we see how much trouble we are in and we say, "Well then there's nothing I can do. I'm going to hell for sure then." It's true that there is nothing that WE can do, but there is something that has already been done for you! God sent His One and Only Son to die on a cross as a sacrifice for our sins! So to recieve that eternal sweet sweet forgiveness, all we must do is repent of our sins (meaning to continually turn from them and confess them) and trust alone in Christ as you trust a parachute. If I was to push you out of an airplane, you'd want the parachute for sure! Don't try to flap your arms and save yourself, trust in the parachute!! His finished work on the Cross IS ENOUGH!!! He is the only way to Heaven, He said it Himself!! These other religions teach that we must he good and do good things and then maybe if we've been good enough, we will enter Heaven. But if that is true then we are all doomed to eternal hell because none of us are good. That's why this makes sense. Look at the Ten Commandments, they are written on your heart right now!! I promise that you have violated them. And you might still be doing that today. Therefore God is just to poor out His wrath on you because you deserve it!!!! I do too but Christ died for me anyway so that I can spend eternity in Heaven with Him!!!! Turn to Him today, and He and only He will save your soul! "Verily, verily I say unto you, you must be born again ( to go to Heaven)."✝️
I have the fibrosis too. Started working out when I was 13, now I'm 21 weighting 220lbs at 6 feet. This guy is really inspiring, and I wish him the best life.
I was debating entering a natural bodybuilding contest after another couple years of hard training. Now after watching this I literally have zero excuses. This was absolutely inspiring!
My younger brother passed away in 2016 with CF. I'll never forget the conversation when I realized that he had given up his fight. I wish I had shown him more compassion rather than telling him what everyone else kept repeating that he has to fight this. I hope the best for Jared, he's an inspiration and a truly remarkable man. I wish him a comfortable and long happy life.
Jared is the definition of the real meaning of the title of 'Influencer'. He has given me the drive to start lifting my weights at home again, to wake up early from now on even if I am on holidays from school and most importantly to *NOT* make excuses. I am a relatively active 15 year old who is decently healthy. Some of the things that stood out from me is that when the narrator said something about living a good quality of life etc. I know I can do better in schhol, so I will. I will study more and be my best self. Jared is a good man who has given drive to people to pick other people up and to tell them make yourself better
@@richardarena5281 However, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, because if I do not go, the holy spirit will not come to you. Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet the least in the original garden is greater than John the Baptist
You’re an inspiration brother. The mind is so powerful. Combine that with the heart that you have and this is the result. You deserve the world and back don’t anyone tell you otherwise.
Keep fighting King ! You inspired me. I'm battling depression and other shit since when i was 14 years old, but people like you gives me motivation and inspiration !
As a person suffering from CF, I can confirm that living with it is hell, which you get used to. Calisthenics and Gym helped me so much so keep it up Jared and everyone else! Sometimes you just gotta say f*ck it and live with it. Wish you all the best!
My sister has CF. Was told she wouldn’t live past her 20s. She’s incredibly strong though - got a double lung transplant at 28 and now shes 40, married, has a daughter and living her best life. You’ve been dealt one of the shittest cards at birth. But I just wanted to say don’t let it define you. Theres new incredible treatments for CF and you are worthy of a long life ahead of you.
This is such a powerful story. Human beings are so full of qualities that are amazing if you go looking for the inspirational, kind and purposeful things that we can and do achieve. Thanks for putting your story out there Jared and your smile when you describe yourself as stubborn is absolutely priceless. I'm a 47 year old Mum starting on strength training to keep me strong through menopause. When I want to whinge about leg days from here on in I'll think of you. No excuses right! I see you. 👍💪🙏
Damn that was inspiring and made my eyes tear a little. Impressive transformation! I wish all the best for Jared, stay positive! We're all gonna make it brahhs!
If you ask someone how to enter Heaven, they will most likely say, "Be a good person." Well the Bible says that none is good, no not one. We like to compare ourselves to guys like Hitler and say, "Hey, I'm a pretty good guy compared to him." But when we compare ourselves to God's standard, we realize that the Bible speaks truth when it says that we all sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God! When we see this ( our sin in its TRUE light), we see how much trouble we are in and we say, "Well then there's nothing I can do. I'm going to hell for sure then." It's true that there is nothing that WE can do, but there is something that has already been done for you! God sent His One and Only Son to die on a cross as a sacrifice for our sins! So to recieve that eternal sweet sweet forgiveness, all we must do is repent of our sins (meaning to continually turn from them and confess them) and trust alone in Christ as you trust a parachute. If I was to push you out of an airplane, you'd want the parachute for sure! Don't try to flap your arms and save yourself, trust in the parachute!! His finished work on the Cross IS ENOUGH!!! He is the only way to Heaven, He said it Himself!! These other religions teach that we must he good and do good things and then maybe if we've been good enough, we will enter Heaven. But if that is true then we are all doomed to eternal hell because none of us are good. That's why this makes sense. Look at the Ten Commandments, they are written on your heart right now!! I promise that you have violated them. And you might still be doing that today. Therefore God is just to poor out His wrath on you because you deserve it!!!! I do too but Christ died for me anyway so that I can spend eternity in Heaven with Him!!!! Turn to Him today, and He and only He will save your soul! "Verily, verily I say unto you, you must be born again ( to go to Heaven)."✝️
He looked way skinnier than me, had a lung issue, but still made it to his goal. What a legend! This really makes me realize why wouldn’t I could achieve the same? Thank you for this inspirational story, stay safe brother.
this is one week away from attaining. I'm not saying where he ended up. I'm saying the path to this for you, is merely ONE week away. One week man. Go in every day, eat every day, for one week. And you'll JUMP START that engine to get you going.
@@CB-rv2lj As inpsiring as that sounds, it's really more like one month or longer to form a habit. Tying the activity to events already taking place in your life is a nice hack to create a fake habit until it becomes natural without the trigger to tell you to do it, though
I went to school with this man, we had mutual friends but weren’t super close ourselves. I had caught wind about him on his fitness journey a little while ago. this is super inspiring
This better make u jump out of bed and start hitting the iron, man. Do it for him if u can't do it for urself. You have more than one reason to go big in ur case!
Became online friends with him a few years ago and let me tell you yes the kindest person you’ll ever meet and he’s done nothing but inspire people around him more n more
Jared dude, I don't know what to say. Keep being amazing. You're one of the best humans on this planet. For what it's worth you've made a random guy struggling with his mental health feel better and have hope he can pull himself out of it. Hoping for nothing but the best for you man.
As someone who has had CF their entire life. I too found bodybuilding and it has helped me in every aspect of life. You're an inspiration to a lot of people Jared, keep hitting PRs!
I am also someone with CF my whole life, I am very fortunate to be born in a time period where CF has had many advances like Trikafta and better treatment in plans
@@bonk4225 its the top 4 comment for me with 100 likes and its only 1 comment-on-the-comment who also has CF and probably saw it because of what i said earlier
Calling him brave is an understatement. Born with a critical condition that kills every single sufferer, Jarod has done something so remarkable and so difficult that even people without any health issues would have a hard time doing this. His perseverance and the amount of commitment it took to do the near impossible (all while that underlying knowledge that he only has so many years to live was in the back of his mind, I'm sure) has pushed him to achieve something that is so incredible and so ridiculously impressive that it shows that life is exactly what you make of it. He could have given up, he could have wallowed in self pity, he could have a billion excuses to not go to that gym every, single day. But he did and he still does. His will to live is remarkable and just incredibly inspiring.
Agreed, and he MAY VERY WELL PROVE that longevity is still possible, if not PROBABLE, with this condition when applying a lifestyle formula such as his; his own N=1. WONDERFUL to see that he is studying nutrition. I would also recommend NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine), Bromelain with Quercetin, and proteolytic (systemic) enzymes, PLUS hot-and-cold contrast baths/showers, near IF sauna, MAGNESIUM, and OPTIMIZE Vitamin D levels, at a BARE minimum. All very affordable and within reach protocols that will likely have a HUGE impact on quality of life. Then build from there. Just my two (albeit unsolicited) cents. ❤🎈
May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter. Ameen. Hello ! Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time.. Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).._ Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI) Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy. Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI) Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad). Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning! Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures. Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement. It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them. (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad) Salam (Peace)….._
@First Last Unless you're cleared by a doctor and you're under strict observation. Yes, it could kill you, but his mind was stronger than his body and he made a miracle happen. It does actually happen in rare circumstances.
Weight training has drastically altered my life over the last 35 years. The ability to push through difficult times both mentally and physically after years of training are invaluable. Great video!
This hits close to home. I also have cf and deal with its effects every day. I was always very skinny. Got made fun of in middle school and freshman year of high school for being scrawny. Then I began working out thanks to my dad who gave me the motivation to start. Three years later I stand at 5”11 180lbs and I’m by far stronger and bigger than all my friends.
Damn. I can relate, though I've only started working out and all recently, and I'm at 140lbs and 5'11, still have more to gain and I'll keep the necessary effort
Josh, what you said about his mindset: from living with CF to CF living with him. This is called externalisation where we personified the problem as separate from the person; the person isn't the problem, the problem is the problem. Externalisation by Michael White
What an incredible incredible human. I lost a close childhood friend to CF over 25 years ago and think about him often. Thank you Jared for sharing your story.
Incredibly inspiring story, even teared up a little at the beginning. But don’t forget having a supportive family and people around you can make all the difference. Props to his family sticking by him through the darkest times.
Back in the mid nineties whenever I lived in Pennsylvania my sister dated a guy with CF. He was a power lifter. He was a really great guy and he survived all the way up to his early forties. Rest in peace, Dave.. I love seeing stories like this
Jared wells this shit jus brought me to tears of joy bro i been skinny all my life and been lifting and i love that u did this g thank you ur inspirational, legend
My Aunt had it and was 39 years old when she passed! God Bless her!!! U are Awesome and inspirational to a lot of people!!!! U have also inspired me So Thank u 🙏
This made me cry. What an amazing person with such drive. My dad died of CF when I was young and could see the pain he went through. To fight through that and become someone better than he was at his lowest is so inspiring I cant even put it into words

We may never meet but just know you have a USMC combat veteran from North Carolina crying happy tears … 🥹 Your story and your fighting spirit touched me in a visceral way and then the waterworks began 😭 So proud of you, sir Wishing only the best for you in every facet of your life 🙌
Hi Jared. I have met 3 or 4 inspirational people in my life. I recently lost a good friend to cancer, until the very end he was grabbing every bit of life he could. I watched an uncle give up on life he went into his shell and never came out, it was sad. I'm 68, in pretty good shape, I hill walk and do the gym, both weights & aerobic. Exercise is wonderful therapy, even when the aches and pains of aging start to bite, it keeps you stronger, more supple & best of all happier What I've learned from people like yourself is to never give in, if ever I get down I think of the people who inspire me, you are now one of them. Thanks
Amazing how so many people complain about their lives and the small troubles they have and you look at what this young man Jared is living with, dealing with and fighting for his life every day. No matter how bad you think you have it, there's so many others out there that have it so much worse. So excited for your turn around, best of luck to you going forward. Keep us all updated on your progress please
For sure, we all could have it a lot worse than some unfortunate souls in the world and we should all keep that in mind, however I don’t think that means you can’t be unhappy with certain things and want to have a better life just because others have it worse
I won't lie, I cried on this one. Seriously, this is one of your best. I wish Jared nothing but the best. P.s. I'm going to have one hell of a workout this week. Perspective is a beautiful thing.

Imagine learning how long your lifespan should be in class. Such a stomach dropping and heart wrenching experience. The pain this man has gone through, god bless you, truly! So young going through so much pain. Truly an inspiration, and so strong! Keep your head up !!!
I also learnt of my lifespan as a child. I have been given a very long lifespan. But am surround with a country of 2 faced people unfortunately. As I don't lie to myself or others, I live clean nor act stupid. I know what am facing.
The fact that he transformed himself from looking so emaciated to muscular has undoubtedly astonished everyone, but what makes his story more astonishing is that he proved the medical experts' skepticism of him working out wrong. He's such a brave guy for facing his battles regardless of the odds. His story proves that sometimes being stubborn for the sake of fixing ourselves would truly work.
I can certaintly relate to this. I lost my right lung, leg and toes to the flu in 2020. It took me away from surfing and I went from 170lbs to 105 after 6 months in the ICU. I'm back up 140lbs and getting my surfing skills back. The CF Jared has certainly impacts his training endurance. My one lung with brochectasis is certainly the bigger disability over my lost leg and toes. Keep up the grinds baby!
@@theelegantman461 it’s pretty tough. I have a big scar from where they removed it and even activities like walking wind me now. If you’re interested there’s plenty of videos on my channel showing my life with one lung 🤙🏼 🫁
Two of my friends (they’re brothers) have this disease and they started bodybuilding about a year ago and they inspire the hell outta me. Mad respect for em
I'm being dead serious when I say I look as skinny as Jared when he first started. Family and friends have always commented about my size compared to my brother and after I while I got kind of tired of it. I'm in the process rn to get bigger and grow more muscle. This video really helped me decided and to commit to the training to change my life for the better
If you’re skinny like him I’m not much bigger than you. My absolute biggest help has been increasing my calories. Eat more even if you always say you have fast metabolism eat more then. Keep up hard work and eat more to gain weight you can do this bro.
While no where near as skinny, I was stuck at 150lb for a long time. Last Dec I decided to change it. 9 months later I'm at 165lb. It's not easy, eating enough is the hardest part(working out is easy, at least for me). Don't give up. Build that dream body bro.
Jared, I have no other generic motivational stuff to say, but this is some fantastic proof that human potential is unlimited. I am more motivated to discipline myself after watching your growth. I respect you. Keep at it KING
I've been in and out of the gym for the last year, not being consistent, not wanting to get up in the AM. After watching this, I have no excuse. This is very inspirational fr!
We need to see more of these kinds of videos in the fittuber space. To see someone be told that his life expectancy was 25 at the most, and then went to prove to everyone that building muscle and eating well can literally add years if not decades to your life? This is the kind of stuff we need. I completely get that calling out TIkTok influencers and celebrities are necessary, but it is definitely refreshing to see something like this. Keep it up Josh!

He was born with tretology of fallot and has had open heart surgeries several times. He has been in and out of the hospital most of his life.

Great video and even greater transformation. I actually remember seeing that picture back a few years ago too, damn.

Hey it the guy with the smoll back, luv ur videos
As a physician I am embarrassed by my profession and the ignorance that most docs have when it comes to strength training and exercise. Telling a kid with 35% lung function to do a bunch of cardio is absolutely ridiculous. By the grace of god Jared had the sense to pack on some muscle and gain some strength. And it probably saved his life. Stay strong my friend.
There's no need to be embarassed by your whole profession just because they don't get some aspects right. Health is a complicated field and they are bound to get q few things wrong. On the balance though, physicians save lives and improve health outcomes at a population level. Doesn't mean the field shouldn't keep striving for improvement, but it's still among the most noble professions around. A lot of us seemingly healthy people would've been dead were it not for treatment from physicians that we now take for granted.
Strengthening and conditioning all the way, bad back and hip start wrestling/martial arts. I'm a nurse and my pains have vanished
A patient cured is a customer lost, tried to make Jared worse to make more money off him spending money on overpriced shit healthcare
Running cured my asthma, even the lightest cardio would have huge benefits on lung function.
Why is this absolutely ridiculous? It makes perfect sense. Doing cardio improves the lung function.
I knew a kid with CF and we were all warned we'd lose him before he would grow to be an adult. He hit 16, still alive and started lifting. I don't keep in touch these days to know how he's doing but last time we did speak he was a 30 year old jacked, healthy man
glad for the dude, that's the way. Many disregard a healthy way of living, but for most- it can do miracles.
It seems common sense that gaining muscle weight and exercising would improve ANYONE'S condition. But these doctors don't use common sense, just what they read in a book or online.
Yes, more research needs to be done. If it happened more than once it is possible that there is a trend being overlooked. That's why case studies are important. Physicians need to be incentivized to do more research. They should be paid for the time they spend building a case study for example.
@@vidal9747 Then people would be making a bunch of low-effort studies for money.
Surely he needs multiple lung transplants, though, right?
Jared, I quit working out about 10 years ago because of severe depression. I'm 70 years old now and have been trying to get back into lifting weights again. Your story, courage and will power has given me all the motivation I need to get strong again. Thank you. You are a Great Soul.
At this age you are thinking of lifting weights again you have already won now go and kill it💪💪
do it brother.. do it.. there is no excuse. age means nothing
You got it brother!! You can do it!
@@Jaesonlee1 actually your not wrong but age is a excuse because you lose muscle mass and it gets harder and harder to get
Meditate daily, and repeat in your mind "I work out several days a week and I enjoy working out."
People program themselves daily with negative thoughts, so you have to program yourself with positive thoughts, and they are more powerful during meditation/self hypnosis.
One of my brother's friends suffered from Cystic Fibrosis. He was so miserable that he took his own life. The fact that Jared had CF AND lung cancer sounds like hell on earth. So happy that he's currently pulling through and finding gains in both life and muscle mass.
sorry to hear that bro
May your brother rest in peace

I am 14 years old with cystic fibrosis. I am 5 foot 11 and weigh 68kg. Seeing this video has made me grateful for every thing I am. My heart aches for the less fortunate like Jared and it just seems unfair that I am so lucky and so many others are not. Thank you Jared for making me a grateful better person.
Damn,i am so lucky to be perfectly physically healthy and you reminded me of that fact,thanks kiddo,wish you all the best 😁

Your weight is fine i weight 62kg

Wish you the best man!
I’m a 60 year old carrier of CF. I have heart issues and a cyst on my spine. But at one time I was a top athlete in powerlifting and martial arts. Your story has motivated me to get back in my gym and start lifting again and stop feeling sorry for myself. My doctors say just to lay around and take it easy, I’m not happy doing that. I’m happy when I’m lifting heavy things, that’s always been my main passion in life. To push myself beyond my limits. God bless you.
Very inspiring. I can't imagine that mental battle, certainly puts my daily "woes" into perspective.

My uncle is my idol. He was born with cystic fibrosis also. Like you said the mucus clogged his airways and made it very hard for him to breathe, but he never let this stop him. He was always there for me wether it was me feeling sad or his last Christmas with me, he always made time to care for not only me, but other people. In 2018 he had a double long transplant. We were told the chances of him surviving were low, but we continued praying to god and fighting with him. Fortunately god protected him throughout the operation and he survived. We were told that he still has the disease and his immune system would attack his new lungs so he was put on antibiotics to weaken his immune system. Even though he was extremely prone to the flue and recently corona he always was out working on his cars, or visiting us. In about late august 2022 he was getting increasingly I’ll and we were in Florida for vacation. When we got back he was hospitalized. At first the doctors told us he would be fine, but then a couple weeks later he got worse.
So we headed back to the hospital and visited with him. Then the news came he had to be put on life support because he couldn’t breathe on his own, we later found out this was because of his immune system making a last ditch effort to get rid of the new lungs they thought was an invader. He was in terrible condition and because life support he couldn’t eat, so he had to be fed through an IV, which wasn’t enough. This was so sad because we knew his days were numbered. Unfortunately or fortunately however you look at it, we had to say our goodbyes to him. A truly Depressing thing to have to do. He told all of us he loves us and asked heroically to be taken off life support. He said he wanted to see his father god. So they did. They took him off and he passed within 30 minutes of that. It was truly devastating for me being just 12 years old at the time. But in a way he was like a blessing from god.
Thank you for reading this far if you did and god bless you. Have a good day. ❤
Bravest uncle to ever grace this Earth. God bless him in his new adventures. 🙏

I lost one of my best friends from cystic fibrosis a few years ago. He wasn't supposed to live past 14, but we had him with us until he was 27. I still think about him all the time.
It warms my heart to see Jared's journey back to health.
RIP Brandon ❤
Amazing. Puts everyday normal struggles in perspective.
Oh hey Jeff, just letting you know, your content is amazing, all my lifts have gone up super quickly since I started watching your channel, just hit a 308lbs squat pr thanks to your chance. Keep up the good work 👏

This really hits home. My girlfriend has CF, and she's pushed through so much and I couldn't be more proud of her. She's the toughest girl I've ever met
Happy for you both! ☺️
I can relate as well. My uncle passed away from CF 5 years ago at the age of 35. Glad that your girlfriend is still pushing through
Hope you and her have a long and happy life together ❤
thanks for the support guys, it means the world
@Dale Macarena Haha we're way too young, but we already have our promise rings ordered so things are looking good
I lost a friend to this shortly after we graduated. I remember him being in the hospital alot with pneumonia and stuff. He made the best of his life while he was here. That was almost 30 years ago and I still miss Ricky to this day. Awesome guy and even better friend to have.
I was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis shortly before I turned 40. I have about 50% of my lung volume left now, but before medication it was only about 30%. I appreciate how hard Jared has done, because you have to understand that he hasn't been able to train as fully as a normal person. I myself should gain muscle mass so that I could withstand a possible future lung transplant surgery. It is the only help, medicines only slow down the progress of the disease. I have to pull myself together for the sake of myself and my children. The beginning is difficult because even going up the stairs takes all your strength. But as Jared showed, anything is possible if you want it.
Keep pushing, man. You fuckin got this!!!
This disease is super high among Jews !! crazy
how the fuck were you only diagnosed when you were 40
I hope you are working out raven, remember you need to bring the change for you and your family. Keep going
@@string8439 Well, yes, I now started jogging and strength training with the elderly. The difference between me and Jarod is that I've never been a small person. I am 185 cm tall and weigh 110 kg. So you should just gain more muscle mass and lose weight. Of course, childhood sports and physical work done in youth provide a good foundation on which to build. Of course, this is difficult when you get out of breath easily and the recovery is longer, but one step at a time.
I will always have immense respect for those who walk into a gym and try to better themselves when they're at a serious disadvantage. Overweight, very skinny, devastated by illness, these are the people we need to root for at the gym. And it saddens me to this day that some will make fun of these people.
Real talk fr
Those who make fun of these people don't know their backstory. If they knew, they wouldn't make fun of them. The moral: "Never make fun of someone because you don't know what you're talking about!"

Hello ! Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time..
Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).._
Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI)
Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI)
Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.

@@avocado5387 sure, throw a religion in the mix🤦🏿♂️
If you ask someone how to enter Heaven, they will most likely say, "Be a good person." Well the Bible says that none is good, no not one. We like to compare ourselves to guys like Hitler and say, "Hey, I'm a pretty good guy compared to him." But when we compare ourselves to God's standard, we realize that the Bible speaks truth when it says that we all sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God! When we see this ( our sin in its TRUE light), we see how much trouble we are in and we say, "Well then there's nothing I can do. I'm going to hell for sure then." It's true that there is nothing that WE can do, but there is something that has already been done for you! God sent His One and Only Son to die on a cross as a sacrifice for our sins! So to recieve that eternal sweet sweet forgiveness, all we must do is repent of our sins (meaning to continually turn from them and confess them) and trust alone in Christ as you trust a parachute. If I was to push you out of an airplane, you'd want the parachute for sure! Don't try to flap your arms and save yourself, trust in the parachute!! His finished work on the Cross IS ENOUGH!!! He is the only way to Heaven, He said it Himself!! These other religions teach that we must he good and do good things and then maybe if we've been good enough, we will enter Heaven. But if that is true then we are all doomed to eternal hell because none of us are good. That's why this makes sense. Look at the Ten Commandments, they are written on your heart right now!! I promise that you have violated them. And you might still be doing that today. Therefore God is just to poor out His wrath on you because you deserve it!!!! I do too but Christ died for me anyway so that I can spend eternity in Heaven with Him!!!! Turn to Him today, and He and only He will save your soul! "Verily, verily I say unto you, you must be born again ( to go to Heaven)."✝️

I was debating entering a natural bodybuilding contest after another couple years of hard training. Now after watching this I literally have zero excuses. This was absolutely inspiring!
you’ll do great!
@@jaylenplayzx2839 Hope so! Thanks bro!

hell ya bro
Very inspiring and a great way to show his fighting spirit. I wish you well sir!
My younger brother passed away in 2016 with CF. I'll never forget the conversation when I realized that he had given up his fight.
I wish I had shown him more compassion rather than telling him what everyone else kept repeating that he has to fight this.
I hope the best for Jared, he's an inspiration and a truly remarkable man. I wish him a comfortable and long happy life.
Jared is the definition of the real meaning of the title of 'Influencer'. He has given me the drive to start lifting my weights at home again, to wake up early from now on even if I am on holidays from school and most importantly to *NOT* make excuses. I am a relatively active 15 year old who is decently healthy. Some of the things that stood out from me is that when the narrator said something about living a good quality of life etc. I know I can do better in schhol, so I will. I will study more and be my best self. Jared is a good man who has given drive to people to pick other people up and to tell them make yourself better
I have CF. I’m 23. Love seeing this kind of thing. Makes me inspired myself! Thank you!
Stop dairy, legumes and cereals products asap.
CF is a fraud, like asthma.

You’re an inspiration brother. The mind is so powerful. Combine that with the heart that you have and this is the result. You deserve the world and back don’t anyone tell you otherwise.
Keep fighting King ! You inspired me. I'm battling depression and other shit since when i was 14 years old, but people like you gives me motivation and inspiration !
This legit brought me to tears, such an emotional and powerfull story. Great video as always
He was so stunning and brave.

I go to Skovlunde gym in Denmark 😂
As a person suffering from CF, I can confirm that living with it is hell, which you get used to. Calisthenics and Gym helped me so much so keep it up Jared and everyone else! Sometimes you just gotta say f*ck it and live with it. Wish you all the best!
Inspirational G💪
I cant Imagine how it must feel to live that way.I admire you.
proud of you homie
My sister has CF. Was told she wouldn’t live past her 20s. She’s incredibly strong though - got a double lung transplant at 28 and now shes 40, married, has a daughter and living her best life. You’ve been dealt one of the shittest cards at birth. But I just wanted to say don’t let it define you. Theres new incredible treatments for CF and you are worthy of a long life ahead of you.
💜
What an inspiration. It will definitely help me go through the difficulties in life and I have a lot of them.
This is such a powerful story. Human beings are so full of qualities that are amazing if you go looking for the inspirational, kind and purposeful things that we can and do achieve.
Thanks for putting your story out there Jared and your smile when you describe yourself as stubborn is absolutely priceless.
I'm a 47 year old Mum starting on strength training to keep me strong through menopause. When I want to whinge about leg days from here on in I'll think of you. No excuses right! I see you. 👍💪🙏
Damn that was inspiring and made my eyes tear a little. Impressive transformation! I wish all the best for Jared, stay positive! We're all gonna make it brahhs!

If you ask someone how to enter Heaven, they will most likely say, "Be a good person." Well the Bible says that none is good, no not one. We like to compare ourselves to guys like Hitler and say, "Hey, I'm a pretty good guy compared to him." But when we compare ourselves to God's standard, we realize that the Bible speaks truth when it says that we all sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God! When we see this ( our sin in its TRUE light), we see how much trouble we are in and we say, "Well then there's nothing I can do. I'm going to hell for sure then." It's true that there is nothing that WE can do, but there is something that has already been done for you! God sent His One and Only Son to die on a cross as a sacrifice for our sins! So to recieve that eternal sweet sweet forgiveness, all we must do is repent of our sins (meaning to continually turn from them and confess them) and trust alone in Christ as you trust a parachute. If I was to push you out of an airplane, you'd want the parachute for sure! Don't try to flap your arms and save yourself, trust in the parachute!! His finished work on the Cross IS ENOUGH!!! He is the only way to Heaven, He said it Himself!! These other religions teach that we must he good and do good things and then maybe if we've been good enough, we will enter Heaven. But if that is true then we are all doomed to eternal hell because none of us are good. That's why this makes sense. Look at the Ten Commandments, they are written on your heart right now!! I promise that you have violated them. And you might still be doing that today. Therefore God is just to poor out His wrath on you because you deserve it!!!! I do too but Christ died for me anyway so that I can spend eternity in Heaven with Him!!!! Turn to Him today, and He and only He will save your soul! "Verily, verily I say unto you, you must be born again ( to go to Heaven)."✝️

You can accomplish this too! Just keep at it and don’t give up. You have so much more strength and willpower than you realize.
this is one week away from attaining. I'm not saying where he ended up. I'm saying the path to this for you, is merely ONE week away. One week man. Go in every day, eat every day, for one week. And you'll JUMP START that engine to get you going.
@@CB-rv2lj You can't gain 20 pounds in 1 week.
@@CB-rv2lj As inpsiring as that sounds, it's really more like one month or longer to form a habit. Tying the activity to events already taking place in your life is a nice hack to create a fake habit until it becomes natural without the trigger to tell you to do it, though
I went to school with this man, we had mutual friends but weren’t super close ourselves. I had caught wind about him on his fitness journey a little while ago. this is super inspiring
This better make u jump out of bed and start hitting the iron, man. Do it for him if u can't do it for urself. You have more than one reason to go big in ur case!
Became online friends with him a few years ago and let me tell you yes the kindest person you’ll ever meet and he’s done nothing but inspire people around him more n more
Jared dude, I don't know what to say. Keep being amazing. You're one of the best humans on this planet. For what it's worth you've made a random guy struggling with his mental health feel better and have hope he can pull himself out of it. Hoping for nothing but the best for you man.
This made me so emotional! Jared is INCREDIBLE & I wish him nothing but the best on his fitness and health journey ❤
As someone who has had CF their entire life. I too found bodybuilding and it has helped me in every aspect of life. You're an inspiration to a lot of people Jared, keep hitting PRs!
Keep fighting brotha, you are an inspiration to us all as well.

Calling him brave is an understatement. Born with a critical condition that kills every single sufferer, Jarod has done something so remarkable and so difficult that even people without any health issues would have a hard time doing this. His perseverance and the amount of commitment it took to do the near impossible (all while that underlying knowledge that he only has so many years to live was in the back of his mind, I'm sure) has pushed him to achieve something that is so incredible and so ridiculously impressive that it shows that life is exactly what you make of it. He could have given up, he could have wallowed in self pity, he could have a billion excuses to not go to that gym every, single day. But he did and he still does. His will to live is remarkable and just incredibly inspiring.
Agreed, and he MAY VERY WELL PROVE that longevity is still possible, if not PROBABLE, with this condition when applying a lifestyle formula such as his; his own N=1. WONDERFUL to see that he is studying nutrition. I would also recommend NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine), Bromelain with Quercetin, and proteolytic (systemic) enzymes, PLUS hot-and-cold contrast baths/showers, near IF sauna, MAGNESIUM, and OPTIMIZE Vitamin D levels, at a BARE minimum. All very affordable and within reach protocols that will likely have a HUGE impact on quality of life. Then build from there. Just my two (albeit unsolicited) cents. ❤🎈
May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter. Ameen.
Hello ! Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time..
Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).._
Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI)
Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI)
Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
(19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)

Weight training has drastically altered my life over the last 35 years. The ability to push through difficult times both mentally and physically after years of training are invaluable. Great video!
The definition of powerful!! What an inspiration, thank you Jared!
This hits close to home. I also have cf and deal with its effects every day. I was always very skinny. Got made fun of in middle school and freshman year of high school for being scrawny. Then I began working out thanks to my dad who gave me the motivation to start. Three years later I stand at 5”11 180lbs and I’m by far stronger and bigger than all my friends.
Damn. I can relate, though I've only started working out and all recently, and I'm at 140lbs and 5'11, still have more to gain and I'll keep the necessary effort
Praise the LORD GOD!!!!
Good for you love hope life brings you love and happiness
Bless you brother i send my love, prayers and strength to you.
And you'll get even bigger bro, I don't know you but I believe in you man, u just made me cry damn. Keep inspiring 💪🏻❤️
Josh, what you said about his mindset: from living with CF to CF living with him.
This is called externalisation where we personified the problem as separate from the person; the person isn't the problem, the problem is the problem.
Externalisation by Michael White
Good to know! It’s definitely a much healthier mindset.
If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

"the person isn't the problem, the problem is the problem..." Wow! I LOVE that!
truly inspirational. I just started the gym after a 5 year hiatus and back at it again. This video truly inspires me to push my boundaries.
Keep kicking ass man!
What an incredible incredible human. I lost a close childhood friend to CF over 25 years ago and think about him often. Thank you Jared for sharing your story.
Incredibly inspiring story, even teared up a little at the beginning. But don’t forget having a supportive family and people around you can make all the difference. Props to his family sticking by him through the darkest times.
Back in the mid nineties whenever I lived in Pennsylvania my sister dated a guy with CF. He was a power lifter. He was a really great guy and he survived all the way up to his early forties. Rest in peace, Dave.. I love seeing stories like this
Jared wells this shit jus brought me to tears of joy bro i been skinny all my life and been lifting and i love that u did this g thank you ur inspirational, legend
My Aunt had it and was 39 years old when she passed! God Bless her!!! U are Awesome and inspirational to a lot of people!!!! U have also inspired me So Thank u 🙏
This made me cry. What an amazing person with such drive. My dad died of CF when I was young and could see the pain he went through. To fight through that and become someone better than he was at his lowest is so inspiring I cant even put it into words
May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter. Ameen.

Hi Jared. I have met 3 or 4 inspirational people in my life. I recently lost a good friend to cancer, until the very end he was grabbing every bit of life he could. I watched an uncle give up on life he went into his shell and never came out, it was sad. I'm 68, in pretty good shape, I hill walk and do the gym, both weights & aerobic. Exercise is wonderful therapy, even when the aches and pains of aging start to bite, it keeps you stronger, more supple & best of all happier What I've learned from people like yourself is to never give in, if ever I get down I think of the people who inspire me, you are now one of them. Thanks
Jared, I hope you are still doing well. You are a true inspiration! Best wishes to you. Well done young man.
Amazing how so many people complain about their lives and the small troubles they have and you look at what this young man Jared is living with, dealing with and fighting for his life every day. No matter how bad you think you have it, there's so many others out there that have it so much worse. So excited for your turn around, best of luck to you going forward. Keep us all updated on your progress please
For sure, we all could have it a lot worse than some unfortunate souls in the world and we should all keep that in mind, however I don’t think that means you can’t be unhappy with certain things and want to have a better life just because others have it worse
I won't lie, I cried on this one. Seriously, this is one of your best. I wish Jared nothing but the best.
P.s. I'm going to have one hell of a workout this week. Perspective is a beautiful thing.
If you ask someone how to enter Heaven, they will most likely say, "Be a good person." Well the Bible says that none is good, no not one.

My soul doesn't need saving but thanks for your concern.
tremendous impactful story and overall health transformation! super inspiring shows that everyone needs to get off their assess and get to work!
His story gave me goosebumps. Josh keep doing what you are doing. love your content man!
Imagine learning how long your lifespan should be in class. Such a stomach dropping and heart wrenching experience. The pain this man has gone through, god bless you, truly! So young going through so much pain. Truly an inspiration, and so strong! Keep your head up !!!
I also learnt of my lifespan as a child. I have been given a very long lifespan. But am surround with a country of 2 faced people unfortunately. As I don't lie to myself or others, I live clean nor act stupid. I know what am facing.
The fact that he transformed himself from looking so emaciated to muscular has undoubtedly astonished everyone, but what makes his story more astonishing is that he proved the medical experts' skepticism of him working out wrong. He's such a brave guy for facing his battles regardless of the odds. His story proves that sometimes being stubborn for the sake of fixing ourselves would truly work.
You are an ABSOLUTE inspiration.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING MAN!! so inspiring
I can certaintly relate to this. I lost my right lung, leg and toes to the flu in 2020. It took me away from surfing and I went from 170lbs to 105 after 6 months in the ICU. I'm back up 140lbs and getting my surfing skills back. The CF Jared has certainly impacts his training endurance. My one lung with brochectasis is certainly the bigger disability over my lost leg and toes. Keep up the grinds baby!
Hang in there man. Keep going strong. I don't know if you believe in God, but trust in Christ for your strength to endure and keep going strong 💪🏾
Sorry if I sound insensitive, but what does it feel like to have one lung? The thought seems otherworldly to me.
@@theelegantman461 it’s pretty tough. I have a big scar from where they removed it and even activities like walking wind me now. If you’re interested there’s plenty of videos on my channel showing my life with one lung 🤙🏼 🫁

I absolutely LOVE this story. So inspired. God bless Jared with 70 more years. 🙏🏾
I'm being dead serious when I say I look as skinny as Jared when he first started. Family and friends have always commented about my size compared to my brother and after I while I got kind of tired of it. I'm in the process rn to get bigger and grow more muscle. This video really helped me decided and to commit to the training to change my life for the better
You're gonna do it dude. Good for you.
If you’re skinny like him I’m not much bigger than you. My absolute biggest help has been increasing my calories. Eat more even if you always say you have fast metabolism eat more then. Keep up hard work and eat more to gain weight you can do this bro.
While no where near as skinny, I was stuck at 150lb for a long time. Last Dec I decided to change it. 9 months later I'm at 165lb. It's not easy, eating enough is the hardest part(working out is easy, at least for me). Don't give up. Build that dream body bro.
same lol
You can do it. Eat a lot. That is the most important. Train also of course but eating is the main part. Consistency man!!
Jared’s story is beyond inspiring. So proud of this guy. Definitely a feel good story. Thanks so much for sharing!
Jared, I have no other generic motivational stuff to say, but this is some fantastic proof that human potential is unlimited. I am more motivated to discipline myself after watching your growth. I respect you. Keep at it KING
Most inspirational story I’ve seen on the internet in quite some time. Thanks for sharing.
I've been in and out of the gym for the last year, not being consistent, not wanting to get up in the AM. After watching this, I have no excuse. This is very inspirational fr!
How are you doing?
We need to see more of these kinds of videos in the fittuber space. To see someone be told that his life expectancy was 25 at the most, and then went to prove to everyone that building muscle and eating well can literally add years if not decades to your life? This is the kind of stuff we need.
I completely get that calling out TIkTok influencers and celebrities are necessary, but it is definitely refreshing to see something like this.
Keep it up Josh!
This is what commitment and courage looks like. Total respect Jared.
Wow! What an inspirational young man! Props to him for not giving up!!!
