“This is what we do Bulo! You ain’t no motha fu*kin ice skater… you ain’t no tennis player… we lift weight God damn it!”

Good on you Silent Mike for restarting the conversation about CT's cousin after you finished strapping Mark in. Shows you were interested in what he was saying, and so was I

C.T. You may never see this but I appreciate what you have been through. I am 60 yrs old and have been lifting weights since 1966. I was never a powerlifter because I didn't give a rats arse about anything but bench press and TKD! At 30 in 1986 I was benching 550 raw and working towards what was eventually my 4th degree black belt in TKD. I have survived motorcycle wrecks resulting in triceps torn in half. Broken forearm in half torn both rotators cuffs in half and broke my left knee cap. As soon as possible I was back in the gym, way before my Dr released me. In 2005 I had a mild heart attack resulting in 4 stents to open my right artery. Five years later I had another and this time 5 stents were put in my left descending artery ( widow maker). I am recovering from a serious shoulder injury and just two months ago could not bench the bar. Now I'm up to 235. You are my inspiration, thank you!!

This is a great video. A lot of real content. Chris Bell knows how to shoot awesome content. Mark is funny, CT looking yoked and Mike is silent as a fart.

Back in 2009 I had a tumour on my pancreas. I had an 8 hour operation. Off work for 6 months, lost nearly two stone. I hated looking at the stick man I'd become from a liquid only diet. Mentally I lost it sometimes, the road to recovery was long and hard. Even carrying shopping I would have to lay down completely exhausted. Gradually the strength comes back, you think it won't but it does. When you've lost weight and definition the frustration gets you mad but also hungry to get back in the gym. One year later Weight back on and working out again. Lifting iron gives you something no other sport can. When your at your lowest physically and mentally it's a slow tough road, but with self belief and strong mind, it can be done. Respect to you CT

56 and that physique? He looks freaking amazing for his age.

I never really liked CT, but this "version" of him appeals a lot more to me. Very nice video

CT is the man of Steel!!! you will always be in my prayers brother get well soon...

Man, that was a great interview. CT Fletcher is a hell of a guy.

CT.... You will probably never read this. But I GUARANTEE YOU, I will meet you one day SOON. I remember you saying on another video that your dad was a preacher. I think you're the same. Your gym is your church and you are the pastor. Preach on CT. SPREAD THE GOSPEL OF THE IRON!!!!

Silent Mike's perplexed/shocked/in depth listening face is hilarious hahahahhahaha

Ffs I have an exam tomorrow and now I have to watch this. Lol

This was really awesome to watch

Never knew this about CT. Large amounts of respect for the man and he looks great for 56. Sweet gym too!

Look at Mark just about giggling as CT talks about Powerlifting and getting psyched. He and CT have walked down the same path of getting up over 300lb bwt and putting it all on the line. Great to see two old Iron War Horses telling war stories. Thanks Mark & CT!!

"He was doing movie kicks... in a real fuckin fight." "Thank You Billy Blanks." THIS IS PRICELESS.

This video is pure gold! CT is a huge inspiration! Thank you Mike for gettin this life story out of CT. Great Great video!

Mark you and CT the reason why I work hard at the gym! Thanks for everything sir!

I am 35 years old and have had 2 open heart surgeries. I was born with a birth defect. I refuse to quit. I will not make excuses. I train every day and still compete. Train hard so when life gets tough you will be strong enough to get through it. Respect.

I have grown a great level of respect for Mr CT Fletcher. salute big brother.

CT does say a lot of things about not being average but good for you Mark for hearing him kinda say that was his quote and joking around with it. But we all know whos quote that is. RIP Maddog

The passion in his eye everytime they talk about powerlifting.

Truly, the most inspiring Workout motivator on KZfaq! CT Fletcher...spokesman for the middle aged workout enthusiast.

First time a ever watched a whole hour vid on youtube, just couldn't get enough, well done guys

The title says it all. I thhought no way im watching this whole thing, but man I couldnt stop watching. Truly an amazing video and story. Nice work

Fantastic. I love CT Fletcher. He's very funny and then throws in some seriously profound heavy shit right into the middle of it.

Silent mikes face when CT is talking about his dad is priceless

I'm no where near what these guys are doing but i believe everyone should watch this. AWESOME and thanks for the motivation!

When you get past the shock of the profanity you discover that CT has an incredibly positive attitude.

You guys are absolutely killing it with these videos!

I am a BIG FAN of CT Fletcher! NO ONE on planet Earth motivates me like he does.

This video changed my opinion on CT Fletcher entirely. I got so much motivation from this video, this content is great.

i just gained a lot of respect for ct from this video, showed a different side of him, awesome video as always, you guys deserve to be on espn or something with these long interview type videos, the quality and content is unlike any other

Awesomeness.

These two really have changed my life, as well as Silent Mike and Jim too. The whole video was great and the end "this isn't an exercise, it's a movement". Put that on a shirt! Id buy it! Great video once again.

CT always does awesome interviews. I can watch them over and over.

CT Fletcher is 56 years!?? WTF! Still more a BEAST as a 25 years old pumper!

I Dont usually care for body builders but let me tell you,i just found this guys channel and this is my 2nd video on a saturday morning watching his shit,is comparable to being high listening to bob marley or 2pac,or chilling outside on a warm summer day. he has substance and a good spirit and i can listen to him and his guest talk for hours. Great convo,i feel like its made me think and be a better person before i walk out the door into the world.

I love how they come out the gym, analyze another mans success story, pay homage & then leave with the supertraining anthem fading in. Dope episode, mark.

This video is awesome. Honestly, anyone who can just talk about their selves without boasting and talking about how great they are, that's amazing. he talks about the experiences he's had and the things he's been through to get where hes at. When you do that, you put yourself in a position where people can relate. That's more important than just telling people how successful you are. Anyone can talk about their success, but not many can just simply talk about their experiences and let the people know where they were and were they came from and where they are now.. hes a real dude who made it from hard work, dedication, and motivation. Nowadays everyone wants someone to motivate them and make them do something. This man did it on his own because he had a passion and shows if you are passionate about something, go for it and never to forget your roots. stay humble. RESPECT TO YOU CT Fletcher! Thanks for sharing your story!!

Mike's horrified face during CT's bench story haha

Im really really happy that your channel took off like that. I was under your first 150 subscribers and always wished for you to reach more and more people with that awesome content.

CT Your the MAN ! At 69 I'm still pushin Iron at 58 had a 4 way ByPass , it took 12 hours , then went South , took me a few years to get back , blew up to 335lb now I 'm 255 work out 2 times a week about 75 minutes . Take lots a Vits Never did any drugs , eat clean , get my sleep , sex twice a week No more , I thank God for every day. Your a INSPIRATION to Many Many People God Bless You .

I'm 45 and believe me bro you are an in spiration & example to lifters of any age. Thank you.

That awkward moment when ct said he felt like a skeleton walking out of the operation at 190 lbs... ...mike is 190 lbs...

Man, this just completely reversed my opinion. This guy is a legend! 56! 3 flatlines a set..

This is possibly the best video I have seen on the internet in the past 20 years.

ct fletcher is so humble what a great guy would like to meet him some day but ill probably not get the chance, good to see him still doing what he loves , respect

That 1 hour went by quick, class video

That was fucken epic !!! Guys are inspirational as they come

Man that's so awesome Mark Smelly Bell and CT Fletcher. Super Training Gym meets the Valley of the Beast. My 2 lifting inspirations.

CT never fails to impress. Legend.

Great video and great interview.

Amazing and really funny video but im just waiting for the next powercast with Eric Spoto

I have only ever seen CT on Elgintensity, and I had a preconceived notion about him. What I saw here today was really outstanding, such a solid dude.

Just sent this video to my dad. Just had some heart trouble and he needs to get a fire lit under him with his fitness. Halfway into this I realized this is the story he needed to hear. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, super training crew and CT.

CT for presi fucking dent.

56 ? he dont even look a day older than 40

this is the best: CT talking about his powerlifting passion

Much love for ya, CT Fletcher . Your life's story is an inspiration for many.

this guy is so fucking cool!!

who the fuck would thumbs this down???!!!!!

This generation (myself included) has become conditioned to fast food, fast fashion, crash diets, 90 transformations and the like that they fail to realize the success of those who they think they emulate took years and decades of work and frequently a considerable amount of difficulty, pain, and suffering. Thank you, everyone involved, for putting the together and sharing it.

By far one of the best interviews with CT I've ever seen....Great job!

isnt the white guy with black tshirt in some documentary on netflix i think its call big strongest fastest or something like that

He is like a buff version of Morgan Freeman

The quality and content in these videos are second to none as usual but the real thing that separates this video from most is the level of respect shown towards each other. The lifting community needs more of that. Keep up the great videos guys, really inspiring !

mikes face is a constant expression of shock and awe lol

48:00 amen.

Great fuckin video!

Man I just love CT Fletcher he reminds me of my uncle same attitude same motivation and someone who I look up to very inspiring

I can’t believe this video already 5 years old man time flys

At 37:20 when CT's talking about his dad, Mike just looks mortified as fuck.

I heard 854 bench press. I need hearing aids.

People that have done their time and proved themselves like CT Fletcher and Mark Bell is very inspiring. Ive been workingout since i was 13 because I was always the chubby/fat kid growing up. I didnt have highspeed internet Or training partners let alone afford to go to the gym back then. Now that im 27 im definitely more fit and relatively strong but I wish I had access to you tube much sooner because i could have learned so much more and I am learning more everyday now because of people like Mark Bell and CT Fletcher and many others. Thank you guys for inspiring us the way you do. I have realistic views, I'll never be as jacked and tan but I have much love for the sport of weightlifting and breaking through my limits each and every day.

Rare to find a video thats an hour long that you actually enjoy the whole video.

Lol silent Mike has the most fucked up facial expressions

he does not look 56

CT you are a warrior! Thank you for the positive energy and advice.

I just want to say this from something I noticed watching this video. CT is such an influence that these guys interject the smallest fact in unison with the subject he's speaking about just to feel a connection with him. This guy is a legend and I couldn't imagine standing in the same room with him. Just for him to acknowledge something these guys or anyone says is an honor and I will rue the day CT's new heart stops beating and he finally puts down the weighs.

6:46 COMPLETELY cuts CT off lmao

Whats the intro music from guys?

Awesome video. The first gym I lifted at back in the 90s was filled with those exact blue Nautilus machines. Oh the memories...

This was an amazing piece of footage. CT is incredible. Thank you

It'd probably be too dangerous to make a CT Fletcher "Fuck" drinking game

ct is 56...shit. I hope I'd be that jacked at that age

Thank you! All three of you.

Very few videos I’ve watched all the way though, this was AWESOME

i like when mark asks about foam rolling and ct completely misses the point

The only thing that makes me dislike CT is the fact he lies about hes drug use... He claims to be drug free yet he benches almost the same as Spoto.

I have a new found respect for CT. This shit was surreal. Love the genuine discussion about his parents and life in general. CT you keep fucking rocking brother...

Probably the best fitness video I've EVER seen! At 55 I needed this more than you know...........

Beautiful, thank you Mark for making this happen

This video inspires me so much. I love watching it!!!!! Thanks mark, mike, and ct!!!

CT your story and you as a person are so inspirational. Like the previous comment I've been watching a lot of KZfaq videos for inspiration as I've recently started lifting again only a couple months ago after taking off for roughly 10 years. A lot of it was getting redundant until I came across your channel the other day and now its all I have been watching. I can tell you that by you sharing your struggle it has helped inspire me a lot. I've also had health problems that have set me back and neuropathy in my legs that took me out of work for 1 1/2 years that was supposed to get progressively worse for the rest of my life. After cleaning up a few poor health habits and quitting drinking my neuropathy is pretty much non existent and I do not think it will be a hinderence to my training goals. Please keep putting out these kick ass videos. One of my favorite motto's is "Everybody wants to be a beast until its time to do what a beast do". You truly are a beast and it seems to me that you live doing what beasts do. I really didn't think I would ever get back into lifting weights again but feel so much better now that I am and I am becoming obssessed with it again and lovin it. Thank you for reminding me that after all of these years IT'S STILL MY MOTHA FUCKIN SET!!!

Arguably one of the best videos on youtube...well done Mark and Mike!! CT at his best folks!!

Thanks for this upload! CT the MAN!! Inspiration! RESPECT for all in this video!

Really appreciate this! Thank you, guys!

One of the best interviews on fitness ever!Ct Fletcher is the Man ....When he is talking about his meets is so f*cking inspiring..

Love when CT talks about dieting at 43:30 -> You don't diet for the taste you diet for the results
