Good for you.

Calum Von Moger got me through so many gym days & months. Super influential & was ahead of C. Bum at one point

I am hoping he makes his greatest comeback. Depression is no joke after 26 years in the military, retirement depressed me. I felt like a horse put out to pasture. Despite having a successful career with college degrees. It was hard. I think we all need a support system whether it is family or friends. I have faith he will make a comeback. He is very young he has a whole lifetime to redefine himself. It also doesn’t help that there are haters out there that love to see the downfall of successful celebrities. Great video.

Bro! Can’t believe you have 37subs…. Extremely impressive video man, better quality than many professionals produce. Well done sir

People keep saying Cbum Cbum Cbum but honestly all I think about is how Colum would look like if any of these never happened. Heck, he even played the movie Bigger, playing Arnold at his peak! What a legend!

I'd feel like Calum would appreciate this video! Guy is o.g and transparent and inspiration for millions

It's hard to feel any pity for someone who has had numerous opportunities and pissed it all away.

Was thinking the say thing. Dude won the genetic lottery and was handed the good life, and after he blow it and I am supposed to feel bad for him while he in his low is still doing one million times better than what I am in my best. lol

Yeah, there are people who you can truly pity, like those who had it all, and was in an accident and become paralyzed for example. Not someone who had it all, got into drugs, became a deadbeat dad, etc

Awesome video! Thanks for making this my dude! Calum is such an inspiring person. He’s had some serious ups and downs, but regardless he keeps on fighting and doing his best. It’s when people rise up from the hardest times that they show their true strength. Cals life and experiences are a testament to this.

100% my dude! Thanks for the support!

With humility, I did the same when young. I never have been at Callum's level obviously. But, I can look back at major missed opportunities that I personally torpedoed. Frankly, my faults/mistakes were many. But, you get to give it a go again if you're patient. These things come in cycles. All you can do is learn, be humbled and come back with integrity stronger and more experienced. For the blessed (genetically, intellectually, financially or whatever the case) sometimes opportunity knocks before you're ready emotionally to handle it. You feel empty because you feel like an imposter. And, to some extent, you are- not by any fault, but by circumstance. Then, you have to move forward with caution and humility or life will teach you about both.

His trajectory was super odd after that bicep tear. He was in a great position to do amazing things. Crazy.

The thing is, we all are not the same. Calum has a good heart but he is unbelievably stupid. Long before bicep injury one of his videos there was grocery shopping and he just literally walking around and damaging goods on store shelves, like a stupid child, like he was 5 years old, just odd.. Good heart and work ethic but something was wrong with his head, so I'm not surprised that all these things happen to him

I agree, like I said in the video he was escalating the level of risk in his behaviours and it directly led to numerous injuries, and then substances.

one of the best natural bodybuilder

Thanks so much mate. No judgement on my part and I genuinely hope Cal continues to focus on making his mental health a priority. I’m so glad to see he’s working with Bucked Up. They seem like a great fit as a sponsor, and that they genuinely care about Cal.

Very well put together

So good 👍

A lot of his setbacks were self inflicted & he just didn't lock in & stay focused on the mission. God Bless 🙏🏾

I do not think he ended his own career. I have watched Calums videos for over 10 years. When I discovered him, I was 15 or 16 years old and the mad desire video had about 500 views. I finally found a dude who embraced being attractive (in many places that’s frowned upon or “conceited”), as well as a guy that worked hard and was fun. Life hit this man out of nowhere like a ton of bricks. Everything that could go wrong, went wrong. I don’t blame him for this. He is fighting like any other person, his father is in a wheelchair… things aren’t “great”. Bodybuilding and inspiration is and was his “why”. But Hollywood is the devil in a red dress. I also listen to people on podcasts who have been in Hollywood who discuss that feverishly. He was in the spotlight and unable to deal with what he was going through, all the while being surrounded by things that tested his character and he obviously didn’t have the support group he needed, there, when he needed it. And that’s okay, there’s not a reason to point a finger. He’s the real and raw version of what many people go through. We honestly should thank him for his vulnerability and honesty, and cheer him on as fans to let him know we’re here for him too. Let’s go Cal! 🤘🏼💪🏼

Thanks so much for your comment. I couldn’t agree more with most of your points. As you can tell from the tone of the video, I have always been a huge Cal fan. As such, I tried to be both respectful and understanding of his situation. Thanks again for the support.

I think it was more likely caused by self medicating depression with meth and alcohol.

calum was my motivation to start lifting, after a few weeks i found out he actually lived in the same area as me (Geelong). in 2019 he came back to aus to visit his family and i seen him at the gym i go to, to see him in person his size was insane to look at.

Awesome video brother, keep up the hard work. Consider this comment a gift to the algorithm.

every drug addict ruins the path they were on, and wastes their potential. I was one of them. with Calum, people got to see it almost first hand because of social media. That is why those of us in recovery have so much empathy for the homeless, criminals etc. We see them and understand they were once full of so much potential, but their brains were wired to get hopelessly hooked. I'm lucky to have escaped. I hope calum can stay sober too. i have 120 days today.

Never ruin an apology with excuses.

A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor. 💪

CVM could have been a classic physique god. Amazing potential. Wish him the best in his journey.

Even hotter with mustache ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I didn't realize he was only a few years younger than me, I unfollowed him a while ago because he turned into an unmotivating t-shirt commercial. Hope for his child's sake he gets his priorities straight and comes back strong

Yes

Calum seems like a nice bloke but you could tell he wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed. 😂

He's pretty much a cautionary tale... Kids, don't smoke meth and/or do steroids!

YES HE DID

This is what happens when people gain too much too fast. You're prone to become an adrenaline junkie, always looking for your next fix, often to your own detriment like this guy.

I wouldnt say wasted talent maybe didn't go down the path we thought he would since so much was going well it seemed. end of the day he's human we all make choices and sometimes we fuck up some times really bad if anything this makes him a more impressive person to mess up and make a come back cause I have had my share of drugs, sex, car crashes and other problems in life that are huge set back s and also family members who died close to me I might not be the most fit guy out there or even famous at all I am a couple years older then cal but over all he was a inspiration to me after I got really into bodybuilding and came across him in my fitness journey especially since I live in los Angeles I hope to see he go further in his life and help others in a new way cause I lost alot of friends to drugs and alcohol also killing them selfs some and if you can help anyone going through a hard time in life and set them on a better path that's more rewarding then being famous or having alot of money in my mind cause helping to changes someone outlook for the better to improve themselves gose way further and I like to see myself as someone who trys to help others and motivate cause I know what's it like when everyone turns there back on you and no one wants to help pick you up but you even my own family

Of course. But he did something much more important that 99% of you will never know or understand; he found himself and healed.

He got a second chance at life

Think Calum has found Jesus at the end of his journey Youth, looks, money, fame and the likes all end A lot of people become spiritual and have immense growth after periods of chaos and pain (my own experience as well) Having a relationship with god gives you a peace none of the above provides and lasts a lot longer

Saw him at the LA Fit Expo last week, didn't look good.

this happens wen u copy somone irrespective of having differnt genetics ethics etc

calum disrespected the iron . he treated it as a joke. the god of iron did not like that

From drugs, it will no return.

he made some wrong decisions in his life - maybe influenced by the people sorrounded him at this time

Mate you might get copyright strike as you are using his content here?

Talent 😂😂😂😂go home boy

I remember every pro bodybuilder talking about him, talking about how his stunts for views pretty much killed his career

Calum inspired me to take drugs..my life is ruined.

He got on the coke then ice 🧊

You didn’t mention his drug abuse at all 🫤

Plus his mates were drug users

Didn't he move back to Australia to avoid paying child support???

No he's actually back in California per his KZread page & he's endorsed my Buck. He's not a citizen so his visa may has been a issue when he went back home

He did all that hoping life would show him success and reward. Reward is never attained if there is no goal. Wasted talent. This guy could’ve had it all if he only channeled his effort into a goal.
