Tucker, I'm loving how your recent videos have become increasingly candid and personal. You do this in a way that isn't exhibitionistic like many KZfaqrs do. It's very natural, simple and honest. You're still flying and staying true to the channel, but you're sharing your own simple, hard-earned wisdom with us and it is much appreciated. Thank you.

I noticed you getting ripped from your t-shirt promos! Nice to hear the back story. 💪 Glad to hear your life is back on track and you’re feeling positive. You always brighten my day. 🙏

Hey Tucker... I live 15 minutes from your excursion today.. I recognized a number of landmarks including the abandoned aircraft. Word of caution.. I used to fly Ultralights out that way and, unless things have changed, much of that is Indian Reservation, so be careful. We were always warned about flying on or above the rez.. I was never shot at, but the rumors were that the rez police could confiscate your bird if they catch ya. I actually solo'ed out of that abandoned strip in 1982 in a Qucksilver MX when the flight school of the time had an arrangement with the Indian rez that owns it. They later kicked us out of there. Great job on the gym goals!

Fascinating to see how you have developed such a strong YT channel. You’re definitely one of those people who has what it takes to succeed. It’s also great that you share the personal journey of ups and downs. Makes it real. Seems like the perfect move to the west. Thanks for the progress report. Oh…and the flying is fun, too 😊

Thank you Tucker, I needed that; I just started working out, and am having a hard time sticking with it. You have motivated me!!!

Tucker. I am 56. Combat Vet (Airborne), former firefighter, international disaster responder. Many moons ago a wise man said to me something like "Don't try to be the master of a thing, strive instead to be the proud and perpetual student of everything". You look great Young Sir and despite all the challenges you have faced, you are still "in-training". If you have not noticed it yet... You are addicted to not just life, but learning. Dude, chicks dig that shit more than muscles!

Never skip leg day. So many people do and it’s 50% of your body. Your upper body will grow faster also! Looking good bro!

Thank you Tucker for sharing your personal message on mental health and for the motivation to keep going, even through the struggle. Blue skies bro!

Ive been waiting for this vid I KNEW it was coming, You could see ur arms growing vid by vid, every time u did a SAT u could see more and more definition in your biceps n triceps, good job man

Im on the very same path right now tucker! The last two years have been some of the roughest of my entire life and left me in a bad place right before new years. Now I’m on a seriously calculated eating plan and lifting routine with the same goals, to better my mind through discipline of my body and time. More power to you man. Keep at it.

Great progress and very well done, sir! Thanks for sharing your journey with us!

It is good to see you growing as a person and striving to improve yourself and your situation. Just don't neglect your spiritual development as well because it influences the rest of your life. Be well and continue to inspire. Thanks for inviting us to share your journey.

Thanks for keeping it real and raw. Congrats on the move and most importantly on your transformation!

Using this as motivation. Good job broski

Consider me inspired! I’ve been watching your videos for over 6 years, I’ve bought a paramotor, gone to training, but have never flown due to a few things like my weight, long work hours, and Covid.. as of 15 minutes ago, I’m planning to improve myself starting now!

Super cool, simple, humble video. Thanks always.

Congrats bro, mental health is a very good reason to get fit. Keep that mind and body in top shape!

Dude wow what a body change! I started this year working out everyday!! I believe it’s all in your routine!! And what you’re eating! You have completely inspired me to totally change, and I can’t wait to brag to you in one year!! Mental Health! 💯 plus man I love your new flying spots, can’t wait to see more! Keep being you man!!

Awesome video tucker! That's cool you got your transformation down and glad for your safe somewhat travels to AZ. Keep it up 💪👍

Inspiring Tucker. Well done. 🫡

Class act Mr. T! So good to see you acclimating to the new digs!!! Congrats on this major life adjustment! Love the vid! Enjoy!!!!!

Good to hear about your change in lifestyle. You're on the right journey! Thanks for sharing!

Tucker, thank you for your candid comments about personal issues and how you determined to change your environment and healthful living. You will never see me flying but I can enjoy, somewhat, the experience through your videos. Looking forward to more southwest U.S. videos. Arizona is a good base with much gorgeous scenery. And Utah, New Mexico, California, and Colorado are nearby. And you will find some fantastic ladies at church. Just saying. "Be still and know that I am God" (Psalm 46:10).

Hell ya Brother 💪. Got me feeling motivated to work out.

Heck yeah dude keep pumpin!!

Tucker Gott you are killing it. Always a pleasure to see someone living their best life.

Awesome man. Be proud of your gains.

Hey Tucker, I love the video. I agree with everything you said. Its a inspiration as I have been thinking for a few year now of going to the gym for my mental health and as well to build self confidence. Keep up the cool videos man and congrats on the new house, glad the move went well.

You are looking great. I'm impressed by your resolve to stick to it. Keep up the good work.

What a massive flex: cruising around in that thing whilst monologuing about getting fit and personal issues. Gotta say, it’s the most unique thing I have seen ever on YT.

These are exactly the gains im looking for this year, including the start weight. Im about 145-150lbs right now

Hell ya man congrats!

Motivation!! Nice work!!

let’s go Tucker 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

Awesome work Tucker, and yes, you have re-motivated me! But I am really jealous of the weather there, looks like you have better consistency of conditions!!

Well done. Welcome to your new home and to the great Southwest. Sounds like you are in a good place and look forward to your continued adventures.

Dude awesome channel! Love the content. The flying while presenting the topic is epic. Congrats on the house & your goal success. I was kicking around getting some weights but you just pushed me over the edge-ordering today! Thanks for the motivation! The ladies will show up when you least expect it-no worries.

Great video and as a native New Jerseyan myself, I'm glad to see you moved out of NJ. I did years ago for work and whenever I go back to visit family, I know it was the right decision. Also, the fact that you found a gym routine that increased your self-image, mental health, and physical health, and gave you a routine to help bring you out of depression, is AWESOME! Keep at it!

Good job buddy! Looking great! Keep that up!💪

Great plan and really good job Tucker, keep at it! :)

Looking good Tucker!!! I can tell you're happy now.

Awesome, keep it up! Exercise is the best medicine!

Welcome to Arizona, Tucker. 30 years ago, I moved to the valley in December as well. Can't wait to see your vids when The Heat hits! I predict some content from up in Sedona and Flag.

Hoofing Tucker! Good effort 🤙🇬🇧

Wow looking good my man!!! I lost 91 lbs last year I need to put some muscle on now after seeing this!! Congrats on staying focused, mind over matter is key!

Good job! I did the same thing about 6 years ago. It was amazing! Unfortunately, I had a bad shoulder injury a couple years ago and fell off the workout routine. I need to get back to it now that I'm finally healed. Thanks for the inspiration!

Tucker. That is an inspiring video. Many people can take many things from that. One most ipportant thing stood out to me and that is Our Mental Health. The more we think about it and the more we engage with the right activities, the better we will be. It's a vital part of life and I thank you for emphasising that part of your routine. I have wide shoulders on which some friends lean and that is great as long as there is some good communication. Keep up the good work and take me flying again. Tucker. I can't get enough. Thanks mate.

Great work dude!

Wow! Well done on a disciplined routine to self improvement. You look great. I'm sure everything else in your life will fall into place with time. Do not despair in the mean time. You will find all you need in life if you don't give up looking. Thanks for sharing, it makes a difference to those watching.

Thank you for sharing this dude.. my best wishes..

Congrats !!!!!!!!

Great video, thanks for sharing. Hope you all the success on your mental state for you to get in a Happy place. Your house looks great. Welcome to AZ. I love it here. Been here 11 years now from VA. Beach. Peace Tucker

Great job Tucker, I have a good understanding of what you have to commit too on such a journey, Last April I was at 300 pounds, as of today 195 and feeling great physically and mentally. I'm 66 years old but at least now I could think flying a paramotor could be possible where as at 300 pounds wasn't going to happen, enjoyed listening your travels. Take care..

personal improvement is about the journey as much as the destination, good thing will mainfest itself from a positive mindset,,, keep up the good work mate keep pushing foreward and the right person will enter ur life

Good for you! Looking strong!

Hi Tucker those aircraft you flew over used to be a fire bomber base for decades run by Biegert aviation they operated DC6 and 4s as fire bombers in later years but their business initially was spraying contracts with the government mostly the forest service. The very first aircraft they operated was ww2 surplus B17. When i was in Aand P school in the mid 90s they hired students to go work on the old radials. Max and Thelma Biegert who owned and founded Biegert aviation sold the operation and went up to Williams Arizona and reopened the grand canyon railroad and started the tourist rail trips from Williams to grand canyon that still goes today. Today the reservation controls the field and whats left there. The first aircraft you are headed for on your video with the 4 bladed props is a Howard 500 very rare and so sad to see in that condition I believe there are only a few that exist and 2 examples that are flying. There are endless places to explore in AZ welcome to the state.Congratulations on your transformation i could for sure use some of that lol

I remember a couple of my break-ups when I was young and how bad I felt, and you can be told it’s going to get better by friends, but at the time it doesn’t feel like it. But it does get better, it just takes time. Working out was definitely a great way to get your mind off things and heal. You will be fine!!

I've been doing PLCP every week for the last 4 months! Push, Legs, Core & Cardio, Pull.

Excellent progress! It sounds like you are doing a fairly healthy approach and you look so much better with the extra mass. It helps to have a workout partner and if you find a lady that takes fitness seriously like you and I, it makes for a great motivator!

Thats some good gains in a year. Bought some weights and a bench in the summer too. Did training quite consistently for the first 3 months, but now it's mostly on the weekends. Working a day job is the biggest obstacle for me, just don't always have the energy to do it after work and it gets pushed on the weekends.

Great new look and habit Tucker! I new you were up to something …watching those arms grow like that Nice self discipline keep at it

I’m glad to see you moving on and improving your life. I can’t seem to move on from a 30 year marriage that went south. But seeing your progress gives me hope. Flying a para motor is a long time dream I believe that might get me to a happy place someday. Congratulations on all of your endeavors.

Another great video encouraging us to take control of our lives. I always look forward to each new vid. Im 3 days post op from getting a large adrenal tumor removed. Im feeling pretty good so I hope getting past cushings disease will help me get in shape after years of not knowing what was wrong. Thanks for encouraging me.

Great Video and to be able to talk about mental health and how it’s effected you and how going to the gym has helped It’s never easy to talk about but it effects too many of us 😞

Congrats Tucker, thats a big change for just a year.

Way to go young man ! Victory !!

Amazing story Tucker, congrats on the progress, I myself are going thru the same process but its harder with 2 kids and all their activities to take time for yourself and gym, can be a nightmare :)

What the f...?? I've stop watching your videos for about a year now, from a lack of time, but still remained sub w/ notifications to check the thumbnails. So I've definitively not saw this coming. Holy shit, you got huge! Good job Tucker! Keep up the good work!

Wow. You look amazing. I’m sure it’s important to be so fit and strong for your sports. Bet it feels great. Good for you.

Hey Tucker. Thanks for sharing. When you work chest, you are also working triceps. When you work back muscles, you are also working biceps. I always did chest triceps one day, back and biceps the day after that, and then LEGS!!! Man i hate leg day, but you gotta DO IT. Low reps, heavy weight. Long time watcher. Thanks again.

If a woman you love dearly, doesn’t want you anymore… it’ll cause you to build the body everyone dreams of because of the demons you constantly fight in the gym. Ask me how I know.

Been watching your channel since day one and hope your new home and self discoveries will lead you toward happiness and fulfillment. I'm 75 years old and have found that helping make a difference to others has made the best difference in me. Wounded warriors? Make a wish? Commemorative Air Force? Search and Rescue? "Live long and prosper", as Mr. Spock would say.

Get sum dude! Did a transformation myself, feels great to look great and be healthy.

Great job 👍

Looking good! Feeling good..

Way to go Tucker… creating a routine and sticking to it for a year is proof you have what it takes as a man. Good job!

Mental health AND GIRLS!!!! Just say it 🤣👍🏽 It was obvious over the last year you’ve been getting fitter! Great work. Now go get those Arizona GIRLS!!!

Well done dude.

Awesome keep going

cheers dude

Good gains, good God, man! Well done. Gonna need to add a cylinder if the bulk continues! 👏

Tucker I watch your videos now and then for the paragliding but this one hit home .. im very happy that you found away out of the sadness.. Ive been battling it myself and the one thing that help is weight lift work outs .. im only working my arms right now but it helps .. Let us know how you like Arizona after leaving nj.. Im thinking you lived near Kingwood nj ? . Anyway keep positive.

Tucker, congrats on the move. Big kudos to you for discussing the importance of mental health and your personal journey toward wellness. All with the backdrop of paramotor flying. Props (no pun intended) to you for the body transformation. Appreciate you sharing your insights. May your number of landings equal the number of takeoffs. Stay safe -- Cheers.

That flying stuff can be scary. Of course, we realize that it goes well because we can see the video. Thanks for sharing.

Congrats on your achievement! Your "before" would be most men's goal. I've often wondered if paramotoring was giving you the build you have or if you had to put in extra effort (gym/diet) to achieve it. Thanks for all the details. Wishing you continued success!

good job!

Nice work buddy, getting started when you are younger becomes part of who you are, and you are far more likely to stick to it. Even at the ripe age of 47, it's part of my daily routine. You don't need to be jacked up and huge to get the confidence that comes with being strong. We are men, we are supposed to have muscle and discipline when it come to our body and health! Great job inspiring others!

Dude I scrolled by and my first thought with that thumbnail was that it was some sort of “gain muscle fast!!!” gimmick…but dang! That’s Tucker! Way to go!

Hey Tucker man, I figured you were working out. Body self image and improvement while young is huge when your my age. Even though I’m 62 and NOT in the best shape I would like at the moment. If I had not been a fitness guy I would be in terrible shape by now. Great work. Congrats on the house!🇨🇦✌️

Nice work 👍

Thank You Tucker for Using the BEST microphone for cutting out the prop wash noise. Sometimes the noise is too annoying. Welcome to Arizona

I love that you fly the same area that I do. I free fly, so a bit different, but still AZ. sunsets. Ill never get over sunset flights.

Welcome to the west. Changes are good. You seem better inside. Love you.

Inspirational.

Staying healthy and active is the very best thing you can do to overcome life's struggles and letdowns. After my wife of more than thirty years left me for another man, I lost the excess weight, jog and exercise two hours a day and now am getting offers from women to start dating again. Im 72. Stay strong Tucker. I've been a fan since you started doing videos.

Good work mate, it’s crazy how much exercise can impact one’s mental health. I found this to be the case with myself also. I found a fitness groove to address this for myself with Thai kickboxing (Muay Thai). Feeling fit drastically improves your mood. On another note I bet it’s difficult to foot launch and land after leg day yeah?? 😂

Hell ya brother let's gooo

Really cool that you would share the fitness journey with us. I've been a surfer for most of my life. Off. On. Periods of not surfing at all. Surfing every day, waves permitting. A surfer's muscles are arms/upper body. Pulling your weight through the water to catch waves, paddling back out. But those muscles atrophy when not used. Presently, i haven't been out for about 3 years. I'm 74 years old. I never went to a gym before. But about 4 months ago i decided to rebuild my upper body. I go 3 or 4 days a week, now. I'm stoked! I'm already seeing results. My reps and weights are increasing. I see muscle gain, and my tonality has improved. I'll give an unpaid plug: i joined Planet Fitness - i like their machines and that they're open 24 hours. Affordable. Pretty relaxed vibe. 'Looking forward to early Summer I can almost taste the saltwater. Anybody who's thinking about starting a fitness journey, do it !!! It's never too late to start - Peace

Great Paramotoring video.

Man I’ve been following you for the last 4 years! What an adventure. Always wanted to get into paramotors. But up in Alaska our weather just doesn’t allow you to fly very much with the wind. I come down to AZ all the time would be awesome to watch you fly sometime and see if it’s really something I want to get into!
