It's kind of his style. He has detached himself from it and his youtube content in the past 2 years, while being immensely helpful, are nowhere near as good as his old videos. Gotta make bread I guess.

This gave me chills. Thank you for everything Daniel. FitnessFAQs supporter for life right here.

Thanks Dan. I needed this. I've been watching you on and off for years. But in the last 6 months my training took a break. Only recently am I back in the gym and back into the right headspace. Watching this video has re-lit a fire under me to continue calisthenics training, more specifically my planche and lever training. Thank you for always promoting fantastic content.

Showing so much gratitude got me choked up a bit.

Congrats Daniel for reaching 1 million. You deserve it. Your content has introduced me to calisthenics and I wish you all the best for your future.

I've been following you for many years. Since then I have mainly transitioned into weight lifting. but I still watch all your videos, and your dedication to the sport and content are truly inspiring. Thank you for all the years.

Your words are so encouraging. I am at the beginning of learning calisthenic movements. Every time I'm able to do a new basic movement it feels very rewarding.

This made me emotional as well as motivated.Thankyou.

I never saw something that is this simple and yet this motivational

Even though we're almost the same age, you are such an inspiration for me. I started doing calisthenics last year after I became really out of shape in med school with limited time to make it to the gym. Since that time, despite only being in the beginner stages and not being able to bench and squat as much as I used to, I have never felt so strong or in control of body and my emotions. I hit my first muscle up in October and first 10 sec handstand in December. It would be a dream for me to build a brand like you have one day. I love your message and this video convinced me to finally pull the trigger and buy body by rings. Congrats on 1 million subscribers!

The authenticity and sincerity is off the scale. A sign of a rare and amazing teacher 👍

PROBABLY THE BEST VIDEO ON FITNESS. Amazing content!!!

Damn what a motivating and inspiraing video. Keep going Daniel!

"It's never too early or too late to start focusing on your weaknesses." Inspirational

Thanks Man! Your journey is truly a gift.. just started my fitness journey. Cheers for your great contents!

Hard work and commitment... that is what comes to mind when I watch your vids and see your transformation... Well done, Daniel!

"Believe in yourself. You have to set goals. You have to have a vision. You need to stand by your values no matter what. You've gotta have the courage, to put yourself out there, to be disliked. And you also need to have the humility, to learn from your mistakes, and keep evolving over time. The world doesn't owe you anything. It's on you to take responsibility, to take ownership for your actions, and to go out there and get it. The world is going to distract you with all these different things, all these different options, other people are going to doubt you, you are going to doubt yourself. Forget that. You've got to believe in yourself, and take action. Train Hard. Train Honest" Thank you Daniel, for you truly love what you do, and there is no force more inspirational than love.

He literally thanked his family for supporting him and never doubting him though. Kind of takes away the point. Imagine if his family was different and how it would have effected him. Would he still be there making this video telling you this? What if his parents never believed in him and his brother didn't care about him. What if he believed in himself but all he was taught he would never be good enough? Just hypothetical ofcourse. When you train a dog that dog is what you make him. Love and support a long way. Take that away and that fan cripple their future.

For sure one of the most important message I've got from you is the mobility work. Doing it improves everything and I know when I'm lacking. I know when I'm not progressing or something feels weird, usually is mobility lacking. Thanks for the motivation Daniel, keep it up!

Same. I realized my back pain when doing abs is probably from back hip flexors when it dawned on me that leg raises are really tight. So I'm working on flexibility which I had assumed just comes over time. No, you have to train it. Turns out yoga is no joke. Look at ballet, those girls aren't(all) naturally flexible, they work for it, so why not me? I want to do an L sit pull up, and that is a real goal. Then a muscle up, another. L sit is next to muscle up. The big daddy is a V sit and handstand into planche. Some day.
