“gym routine” obviously isn’t working
After all the drama he has gone through recently (some of it self inflicted), all he should do is focus on the gym and the diet, take a break from social media and come back showing off his gains
Nice to see a fella who's come out of his shell, and really changed his life, but it's crucial he doesn't go off track. He needs to be careful.

Hopefully he won't be swayed onto the gear like the influencers he has hung around with are on.

@@chrisbfreelance 100%, I obviously don't know him personally but I wouldn't imagine he has the best advisors around him, as we wouldn't be that bad to start with if they were any good, so he really needs to avoid the gear and them onlyfans girls, or it'll all come spiralling down.

Loved this ,I’m only just starting out in the gym and am an introvert so I know how it feels. Jack should be extremely proud of his self !
Well done Jack, be real and yourself cos it’s amazing dude! Refreshing to see someone real and normal rather than all these false instagramers posting false photos making others feel depressed!! I💉
Well played Jack. You are a massive inspiration to people who are starting out and a reminder to so many to enjoy the journey. Keep on pushing yourself out of your comfort zone and that confidence will grow 💪🏻💪🏻. Great questions Ruby, I think you did a good job making Jack feel comfortable in the interview.

@@Rexmex9 I saw the live too I think maybe too much is happening at once and like maybe he doesn't know what to do idk I'm confused because here and in some other videos he comes across as really nice he's really easily led on by others though is he young too so hopefully he changes and matures more into a decent person

Yo, really liked this podcast. I don’t think the haters would hate if they saw this podcast 🙌. But, Jack if you see this, I would definitely recommend powerlifting - I saw your 100kg deadlift tbf that was quite impressive for someone your bw. The good thing about powerlifting is that it is much easier to see progress. For example, u could increase a lift by 10kg in a month - however it may take you 3 months or more to see a big difference in muscle mass. Also, as powerlifting is in weight classes - u could become v impressive as a lighter weight powerlifter. Whereas when pursuing purely bodybuilding - u would probably have to put on 20kg of muscle to become impressive.
Just subbed hope to see you grow exponentially your consistency will pay off.
Ruby seems to be a super chill person!

Amazing episode, make sure to make use of the 3 hashtags you get in the description to push your video out
Came here from ig
Man, this... this is what your insta has to be about. So relatable. The insecurity, lack of direction in life, not knowing where you belong. I know its scary, but this could be so therapeutic for you Jack, youre not alone with these struggles! Try to open up about yourself in the videos about training and nutrition. What are your struggles? What are you learning? You'll see how many people will reach out to you about recognizing all of this and thinking they are alone in this. Goodluck on your journey, i'll keep following you! We are all gonna make it!
Thanks for having me on! Great to share abit more about myself 😊

You need to show more of this side on your social media...for some reason you've become incredibly arrogant,ignorant and a know it all when you've been lifting for 5 minutes. That's why you get so much hate, because of your attitude and your unwillingness to learn. Don't call me a hater, he needs to hear the truth instead of everyone treating him like a big baby.

You’re a good young man jack, you’ll make a great father someday 🙏🏼 Matthew 6:19-21 19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

A lot of the issues Jack has mentioned here are such small tivial problems. I worry for him as he gets older and encounters real challenges. Unfortunately it gets a lot harder than getting dumped after a summer romance and having to endure college for '2 days a week' 🤣
