I’m a hypocrite.

In this video, Elliott reflects on his journey of self-awareness, admitting to being a hypocrite in portraying strength while struggling internally. He discusses his personal challenges with integrity, health, and spirituality, emphasizing the importance of honesty and humility in his interactions with his audience. Elliott advocates for self-reflection, prayer, fasting, and embracing tradition as pathways to personal growth and spiritual renewal.

If you think you aren't a hypocrite, liar, cheater, etc then you know nothing about your own religion. Infact you are displaying signs of " Pride" the most deadly sin. Repent.

    We are not all hypocrites so that’s a lie. You may start out as one but that doesn’t mean you will end that way. Unfortunately most do because they will not take criticism because “who are you to judge me” mentality. Well you will find out when you die then, doesn’t bother me a bit.

    Man I wrote a children’s book about 8yrs ago called Young Spartacus: Virtues of a Warrior. I sent it to Elliott and he actually responded to me saying how he read it to his son and that he liked it. I’ve fallen away from my dreams since then and gave up the nonjob mentality after I didn’t see immediate success. But last few months I’ve been working on my fitness and this video has me thinking about achieving my dreams again. Thanks for the video as always Elliott. Inspiring.

    Yo Elliot, I've been deeply inspired by your authenticity and the human spark you radiate, which has always resonated with me. To label you a hypocrite would not only be incorrect but also unjust, given the profound impact you've had on my life. Since 2012, I've been an ardent follower, and it feels as though our journeys have been aligned, experiencing similar seasons of growth and transformation. Your discussions and insights have mirrored my own path, creating a sense of parallel evolution. Reading your book "King" was a pivotal moment for me, especially during a challenging phase of rehabilitating from alcohol addiction. The perspectives and wisdom shared within its pages were instrumental in reshaping my outlook on life. This influence was so significant that I felt compelled to share it with my now young adult children, gifting them "King, Magician, Warrior, Lover" in hopes they too would find the guidance and inspiration I did. Your continued work and contributions have been invaluable, and I eagerly anticipate witnessing the further evolution of your journey. Thank you for being a constant source of inspiration and for the impact you've made on my life and the lives of many others. With sincere gratitude, An E. Hulse OG Fan

Health; physical and mental tied together are very important.. I'll have to watch again. I feel I've been through many versions of myself, and never happy, like there's always something else, and this is not good enough; I want to allow myself to acknowledge where I am and the progress I have made, so I Can make the next steps, instead of 2 steps forward 3 steps back (or being stuck in the same spot for years) - not huge into the religion type stuff, but it is great to see your perspective and sort of translation or explaining (your way) -- thanks again!!

We all slip up we all fall of the path but let's not spiral and throw all of the trophies in the trash. When I look back at my life you were instrumental in completely changing the trajectory of my life. I never followed you but what you stood for. I know I am only one of thousands of lives you have changed for the better. Love you man. Thanks for your honesty and transparency.

    Hey man, I watched you working out and learned how to improve the form of my lifts as well as many other things. You exposed your flaws to us and let us learn from you as well. I have since developed many mentors myself which wasn't really a concept I was used to back then, some of whom recently died and now I carry their principles. I must have watched your deadlift videos specifically 20x each improving my deadlift and for many years got motivated by your videos. I own my own deadlift equipment etc now. I also learned a lot such as the discipline involved in lifting being more important than the weight itself; we were training our minds for strength. As you often lead by example we learned that somtimes you need to do flexibility work to deal with imbalances etc. Perhaps some of us also learned that you need to be willing to lead with what makes sense to you individually even if your local gymbro or girlfriend criticises you. To lead, you must be prepared to walk alone. I think every viewer listened to your advice and tried to better themselves in one way or another which is a constant journey. I met people on my travels through Scadinavia who knew of your concepts and applied them. If you're feeling like you weren't living up to your best version think of the countless people that were inspired around the world and added years on to their lives by getting in better shape. Isn't that using one of the most powerful tools in the world, the internet, to empower countless men around the world as we are attacked everyday left & right for being men? I'm not perfect - nobody is. I messed up and put on stubborn weight the last few years with covid etc but eventually we all find that traction and get moving again as I have achieved recently with weight loss. That is just life and we can do better next time, just never give up. Cheers!

Not only were you one of the original members of what I would call the KZread fitness golden age, you were one of, if not the first, progenitor of male archetypes and spiritual wisdom in this new digital space. You were addressing an unmet need in men long before this new wave of masculine development within podcasting captured millions of new and enquiring minds. As I reflect on your contributions in light of his brilliantly self-aware and humble video, I can’t help but be reminded of the old adage - “the original is still the best.” Thanks for your work.

Just know not just me did your words affect but many members of my family. I remember being in a dark place when I was dosed by a person who was supposed to be my friend. After that I felt like i was gonna die. I felt like I lost a piece of myself. And then when I was tripping out and struggling to come to terms that I was alive I watched your 1 million subscriber special and it allowed me to have a piece of what reminded me of who I was. I feel like as a society sometimes we focus too much on being introspective and don’t understand how harmful it can be.

There are a ton of fitness guys now for sure but none of them really have that IT factor You are an Original my friend and a brand on your own and never forget it Weather you think you been a hypocrite in the past I think i speak for many of your followers that you DID make a lot of us The Strongest Version of ourselves .. now which do you think is more important there .. ?

    Shoot this resonates so much. I was a personal trainer and MMA instructor for 10 years. I got so sick and tired of maintaining an image of peak performance and health. So much weight fell off my shoulders but then I also fell into a darkhole of getting fat and out of shape. Realizing that pressure was actually the fuel to be in tip top shape. Why is that? Perhaps I wasnt training for me, but was training for admiration, acceptance, to have a sense of ego driven form of authority. Now I'm getting back at it, but for no other reason but to be able to do the sport that I love with up and comers who are going through the fire I once did 15 years ago

    Yo @Elliott. I've been watching your channel since 2012 I think ( don't quite remember ). I was 18-19. I was somewhat lost back then and your Yo Elliott videos gave me some perspectives which really helped. When you're in a struggle, having someone you don't know encourage you, gives you that extra little bit of fuel to help you not fall deeper into your own exasperation and make bigger mistakes that are harder to recover from. I am now almost 30 and I do have one thing that I've learned from you which stuck with me my whole life. "Winners have the habbit of doing whatever they have to do whenever they have to do it, regardless if they feel like it or not" I now have a big ass house, I'm financially ok, a nice life and a nice job. It's not all because of you, but let's put it this way: If it weren't for you and for a few others like you to keep me sane, I could've made some mistakes back then and might've never recovered. Anyway, I wasn't a fan of your Shaman and Spiritual videos, but these new types of videos I like. Very similar to the Yo Elliott videos. One last thing: You could argue that you were a hypocrite in a very philosophical manner and all people would put up a persona is certain situations and I do get the idea, but I do think that's far stretched in practical terms. Since you've helped me, here's some advice from me to you: If you go down the rabbit hole, you can find out that you are a lot of things. I would even argue that if you search deep enough, you can find that you can be even the worst of things. But before you go too far down this path, ask yourself "Was and am I really a hypocrite, or is it just my pursuite of me trying to find new dimensions of myself?" . I'm pretty sure it's the latter. :) Oh, and I do have one last suggestion for you. You are a really powerful individual and you can influence people do better. So when around loved ones, make sure they do better in terms of what they want to be better at. I've made the mistake of trying to influence people I love to do better in how I would've liked them to be. Make sure you continue being a hypocrite and don't let KZread Elliott be the same as Dad Elliott, or husband Elliott. Those Elliotts are different people you need to be. You have a nice day and a nice life man!

So i greatly appreciate the people that are out there with these same values at the top of the heirarchy. I dont show it in videos or do this kind of stuff to document anything in this form, but I am right there with you. I proobably should be making particular videos like this in order to help me progress with my life. I have a lot to process and work through myself. But yeah man, just keep doing what youre doing, if you happen to read this. I know you will stay on the right track regardless of anything I say. I value the things you share in your videos and I have come to some of the same conclusions on my own. I cant say these things about many people. So take that for what its worth. At least this is my impression as of now. The balance is this life is very important, so those self-critiques are valuable also. Its all part of being a whole, genuine, and optimal human being.

    Real talk, massive respect! Being honest to yourself and having empathy for yourself and others is so important, no wonder every religion and comprehensive life philosophy emphasizes these things.

    I kinda knew it all along but it doesn't bother me. I viewed it as you putting out an example of what we can all strive to be. We all need an image in our heads of who we want to be otherwise we become complacent. It's nice to know I'm not a failure if I'm not perfect. Thank you for making this video.

    You are back brother! Thats the Elliot we wanna see and hear. I havent watch any of your past videos for the last couple of years to be honest. I know you will be coming back stronger. Love it man. Yes please share with us the proper LENT and how to do it according to tradition. I am a Muslim myself and practiced Lent before because my Mom is an orthodox christian and there was so many confusions about the practice of lent itself. Hope you will post a video about it. Thank you Elliot

    Elliot, you gave me hope when I was tempted to be swallowed by darkness and despair. I was in your KINGS group and you told me that you could see that I can do great things….God spoke through you that day and I sensed a spark. I say this to say, I understand. I don’t judge your for being fake or a hypocrite. I know your heart was and is in the right place. You gave me hope again, that’s more than enough for me. Thank you so much brother, and God bless

I told you that you have helped me a lot on my journey and I just wanted to do what I could to give back. I woke up in tears. I love you brother. Happy Ash Wednesday to you and a blessed Lent season! Let’s gooo!!!! 🙏🏼❤️‍🔥✝️👑💪🏼

    Uncle E, Back in the day, when you were Bahai, I prayed nearly every day for your movement away from that religion toward Christ and the Catholic faith. It is a joy to see where you are now. You've been profoundly impactful over the years and I think you have the potential to do even more now through pure authenticity. Thanks for everything. May we have a blessed Great Fast of Lent.

    You forget the times when you recommend others to do their own research. And that you're not perfect and are always trying to improve. I used to have blocked sinuses all the time, and still need to clear my throat to talk with confidence. It comes from feeling unheard . So I raise my chin and practice opening my vocal pathway for a few seconds before speaking to people. Guess who taught me that, many years ago?

    One of my favorite quotes is "Aim for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars." You were, in my mind, the moon. You gave me a target and motivated me to strive towards it. And somewhere deep down, I knew you weren't perfect or that you did everything you taught. You even made a video back then that told your viewers not to put you on a pedestal because you already knew the truth deep down. I don't care if you didnt live up to your own perfection. You gave the world a symbol to strive towards. The symbol might have been false when all was said and done, but the progress I've made in my life because of your inspiration simply wouldn't have been there if the Elliot I met was not the confident powerful symbol that you had created. We all fall short of the glory of God. Bless you Elliot. You've touched countless lives.
