Lost 60 lbs so far feeling better. Thanks Mark!

this guy is such an inspiration. its sad how his brother ended up.

Mark you truly are my number one inspiration

Been following Mark for about five months so it is cool to see some of these older videos, and the construction of the gym.

I'm no powerlifter or bodybuilder, I just enjoy working out at home, fitness in general. Really enjoyed this, some cool philosophies and advice. Cheers!

After seeing how much of a massive transformation you achieved it gave me the clearest realization that I could not just lift, but "look like I lift" too. Thank you Mark Bell for your candid attitude and kick ass advise for lifting and dieting that has carried into my life as well. You are a big inspiration to me. Btw- this is the most solid video on keto that I have ever come across. I'm approaching the 2 week mark on the diet and I was getting really worried about whether I should carb-up or not this Sunday and this cleared all that up. Thanks again.

Damn best video ever!!! Love how you don't stress all the time on details. To many people worried about the 2% when they don't do the 98%

What's with the random loud music?

When is he gonna talk about the Tren and hgh? Dieting works but can't get to this level without the juice.

Prob the best video you have put out so far

new respect man best video yet

Mark Bell is the man, telling it how it is not holding anything back spreading unfiltered wisdom.

Thanks for simplifying this whole thing sometimes people make it seem like rocket science. Thanks for sharing the game with us bro keep it comming 💪

Outstanding video thank you one of your best yet

Love this video!! Ty Friend!!! Love your philosophies!!!🔥🔥🔥💪💪

Mark, you are my idol! Great vid!

Great video, thanks for sharing your story. You are a motivation.

Mark, you are an inspiration.

best vid i have seen in a long time... thank you..

Love it. SIMPLIFY... so perfect.

Mark this is inspiring stuff. As someone who used to walk around at 205lbs competing in BJJ and submission and now I have allowed myself to slowly creep up to 260lbs. I'm working on getting myself back down.

Great video Mr. Bell. Good to see how you didn't bash any type of diet because like you mentioned, to each his own. Different diet styles for different people. Good S***T!!! BTW, love the sling shot product. I'm a bodybuilder in Miami looking to do a meet next year and am really liking how the sling shot is helping my progress. Gonna try and get the hip circle and gangsta wraps next.

You look fucking FANTASTIC, Mark! You are my new inspiration!!!

This. Was. Awesome!

Yes I will gladly watch this a second time. Only cuz of Marks pronunciation of Omars last name ;)

You look solid and ripped as shit. Great to hear your story.

Excellent video, thanks for the inspiration

Big fan your the man, love the sling shot!

I love your videos brother...I'll see your gym on the first when I'm in Sacramento

I have been eagerly waiting for this video! Mark, you are truly the man, and it is so incredibly refreshing to hear someone speak the truth, no holds barred. Keep it up! Your barbell brigade seminar video really fixed my sumo deadlift and I've been kicking ass and blowing out my anus in the gym ever since! Visiting the new ST gym and getting harassed by you is on the top of my bucket list ;) #nohomo

i posted a comment which created some debate, i deleted that comment. i dont want this to turn into a discussion i was just stating my honest opinion, but it was wrong because i didnt watch the entire thing and mark did actually adress the issue i had so i would like to apoligise for my ignorant comment and thank mark for keeping it real.

Went from 6'4" 376 to 336 in 90 days so far. Love your approach man

Man I wish you could see a before and after pic of me lol. You are an inspiration man. I started keto about 2yrs ago. Was 254lbs at 5'7 3/4 so you can imagine I was fat as shit. Keto got me in much better shape. Down to 192lbs now.

Great stuff!

love mark bell. awesome dude. awesome story.

i picked up ketosis after i bulked to no end, and i injured myself and continued to bulk. got super fat and when i did ketosis i lost for 25 pounds in a month or so. was strict on my diet and it did wonders. i switched back to a regular diet i follow my IIFYM but when i cut again im sure to consider it again. MARK BELL keep fighting the good fight

Just bought a set of the Wagon Wheel plates, cant wait to get them!

You sound just like me when it comes to eating haha, Im going to try the no carb diet again. And im really going to try and stick with it. Thanks for the motivation Mark!!

Great video 💯👍

Great video pal

Mark you the best

great video

Solid advice. Just subbed.

Love the intrusive rock music lulz

I like the word "Refeed", it makes me feel like an animal

great person

Bro, Im so glad to hear someone FINALLY say the terms refeed is for animals, programs are for computers etcn, I thought i was the only guy who thought some of this terminology just sucks. Great work Mark Bell, for all your contributions to the sport.

Young Mark Bell looks like Henry Rollins

great video! Mark is absolutely right all methods are effective, but some work better for others. Carbs and fats are both used for energy, and he's just substituting carbs for fats. Me, I do the opposite. Do what works for you!

Good shit.

If you're Fat, addicted to Carbs, Insulin Resistant, and or Family History of Diabetes, then definitely recommend Keto as a tool to help transform. I did a near Keto diet (50 -100 gm per day of carbs) coupled with intermittent fasting for a period of about 8-9 months and managed to shed about 40 lbs (From 230 down to 188). Keto helps you achieve calorie deficits and restore insulin sensitivity without much thought and planning in your diet, just like Mark pointed out. I then worked my way back up to 200 lbs where I have been maintaining for the past 3 years on a simple low carb diet (roughly 100 grams per day). However, as of late I began more body building and aesthetics type training switching emphasis from strength to hypertrophy (also because my joints are aging) and I have found that on training days 200 grams of carbs keeps my muscular glycogen at the ready and also keeps my muscle appearing more full (aka "swole") than when I was very low carb which drained their appearance quite a bit. My strength on keto wasn't too impacted. Lastly, I found that 30min cardio following my training has helped quite a bit to keep me lean, since most of your glycogen stores get depleted during the anaerobic weight training (obviously depending on how hard and long you train) when you do the cardio afterwards, your body is more apt to start up the aerobic oxidation of your fat (so long as you keep the intensity low to moderate, i.e. treadmill, stationary bike, or elliptical). I think once you achieve about 15% body fat composition, then bringing carbs back up for the purpose of anabolic training is actually a good idea (as he pointed out with Silent Mike) as this is what your body prefers and the carbohydrates (as their name implies) attract the water which keeps you full looking. Though you could live in keto, I would simply recommend it as a tool to get you where you want to go, then get back to carbs but with a better balance between fat and protein avoiding surplus dieting to maintain a sculpted look. This was my experience. Hopes this helps someone.

Good video.

18:25 wise wise words

Love the content, always glad to see a new upload but anyone know why Mark is breathing so heavy? Is it just mic placement? He sounds like he's doing cardio the whole time.

omg that collapse on the squat was brutal

looking jacked !

Hey Mark im a big fan of your videos. I am new to the fitness scene is there any thing that has helped you over the years that you would tecomend for someone trying to go from fat and pasty to jacked and tan

I was a power lifter and had to have open heart surgery to close a hole in my heart my heart is good now I kind of clean up my eating and Iam now280 give or take I used to workout with James Henderson some time ago I want to get down in the 230 weight I have some other stuff going on with me but I want dis more than anything can you help me get me pointed in the right way

HEY,MARK...LOVE YOUR VIDEOS AND MAG....WHY NO WORD ON CARB-NITE???

Only guy im watching for fucking years now and never will stop watching you. Really enojoy your personality and your advice on every shit youre doing. Hope you'll stay long in the game and keep on posting shtuff.

@16:14 We get Mark's life motto.

Nice smedium t-shirt Mark.

Mark looked awesome during the wrestling days.

Nice video. :)

13:53!!!

Hey Mark where can I get one of those tanks? Didn't see any on howmuchyabench.

For the unaware, that is The Ultimate Male, Dave VanBrocklin, as head judge on Mark Bell's 804 bench.

Hi Mark, I had to look up your numbers to make sure you didn't make a mistake. Was your max deadlift a genuine weak lift for you or was it due to injury? Did you work harder to bring that lift up as opposed to your squat and bench where more progress would have been difficult due to huge numbers already?

Great vid

Hey, man - I really the videos and clarity provided - I was in super shape, but stress and job allowed my weight and health to become a human vat - I really want to do better to get better - 51 yrs at 256# at 5’11” - Just want to build muscle loss excessive face without injury myself, which happened be - I just have to get my shit

♥️

I try not to go crazy on the wings maybe 10 or 20 at a time!! Haha

What kinda bottle is that ? I want his diet and workout routine

How do you get vascular ? Drop body fat ?

hey what is the intro music?

Holy shit, it's Smelly!

sushi 3xweek. yumm!

anyone have the name or link to the intro song? thanks

The way you look is my goal

Carbs kill my stomach and keep me bloated. It's crazy the one weights wing if I have a cheat day from keto/carnivore. My weight only fluctuates 1 to 2 pounds on diet. If I have a carb up day it will be 5 to 7 pounds.

"Never shop when you are hungry" Mark Bell This is so fucking true haha ! I did that last time, it wasn't easy and I'll keep that in mind next time :)

What about cardio I'm a big buy wanna drop body fat and get lean

THA MAN

looking man

Dont getting rid of the carbs make you extremely tired? I did that years ago, like NO CARBS and always got dizzy n shit at the gym.

I do a lot of running and HIIT workouts, without consuming carbs in preparation for those I will not be able to preform at 100% intensity, I will feel weak and light headed and probably fail my goal for the day. On the flip side, I never really feel as though I need to prepare in the same manner for lifting, as I can eat lunch and 5 hours later lift without having consumed anything since that lunch. So, I also advocate not needing carbs before lifting. You say you eat a lot of sushi? what do you substitute the rice with?

Anyone know what this into song is

you're a cool dude :-) real

Not sure if you were just tired from being between sets but what's your cardio? I'm hoping you were just heavy breathing from between set other than just being winded from talking. Total respect for what you do man and would love to be able to lift like you so don't think this is a shot at you.

I tried low carb before but I an never get enough calories. Do the calories matter if I am getting enough protein?

LIKE 1000 mutha fuckaaaaaaaas!

Pretty sure you don't think the same way anymore. I'm pretty sure you were knocking this kind of diet recently. You should do an updated video.

what gym is this ?

"Put fat mark away" great line. Think I need to use that mentality

@5.10 I thought the balloon would burst

Okay, I gotta ask...when you made bigger stronger faster, you said you were using steroids. Your bench seems to have gone down massively, from 900 down to 500 or so...a change in calorie intake makes the difference for sure, just wondering if you still 'partake' of recreational testosterone...?

"I feel like havin' a cheat meal!..." "Fuck off...stay on your diet..." LMAO It must suck to be a mesomorph/endomorph I get lean at the drop of a hat...any hat. Super hard to put on muscle, and it burns off fast too.

I miss the heavy Mark Bell 😢

Omar Assmuff :D:D:D:D

With all the hate on crossfitters doing kipping pull ups, why aren't you all hating on Mr. Bell when he's doing kipping pull downs ? :P
