How I got the strongest I've ever been at 36 years old

🗣️ Stuff I mention in this video:

Hi there 👋 If you're new to my videos my name is Matt D'Avella. I'm a documentary filmmaker, entrepreneur and YouTuber. I've made a couple documentaries for Netflix. I also teach courses on everything from filmmaking to habit change. If you like to nerd out about self-development as much as I do, you can subscribe for weekly videos.

Feel free to annoy me as much as you like my guy, it’s been an absolute pleasure working with you, and it’s been a pleasure listening to how simple yet informative and accurate your lessons are on getting jacked and strong. Another awesome video Matt.
Thank you for allowing me to be part of it 🙏

i've been following you for 5 years and every video of yours has improved my life

Hey man, just received your email.

Going through passionless periods of time when what used to make you happy doesn't anymore is absolutely crushing. Your identity seems to dissolve into nothingness.

Putting on a front for the camera must be incredibly taxing too. I'm really glad you took the tough but right decision to walk away.

I hope you get well soon again and find your flame again. I'm sure your wonderful wife and your cute kid help gain some perspective.

Cheers Matt. See you again when you're ready.

Been watching your channel since 2018, also watched your documentary before I knew it was you. Love the journey all these years

Matt is the only youtuber i have been watching consistently for the past 6 years - the vids never tire - thank you for making these, helping me do better!

[gastronomee_]

go you! i realized so much about working out and strength training was mental - it's your brain holding you back, not the body. you inspire me every day! (content and lifestyle now too!)

Great video Matt, i have been doing a program with a personal trainer since January, and its great to have someone, who tells you how to proper do a lift! Its my 2 time trying this, and my first time was horrible, the trainer was only doing it for fat money, so this time i was more sceptical, but i must admit, this dude have helped me to enjoy fitness! I have set a personal goal to be in the best shape of my life, before im turning 40! And its a fun goal to have! Not only to loose weight, but also gain muscle etc. i have an office job, and i was starting to have issues with my back, where the blood stream wasnt great between the shoulders, due to looking at a monitor for 8-12 hours a day, so it was either chiroprator or getting my ass of the chair and doing something for myself! I choose the last part! For now, im actually enjoying heading to the gym!

Seb is a killer coach. I’ve learned a lot by watching just a few of his videos.

This content is gold. I am really glad you touched on the aspect of social media psychologically affecting one's own perception of their progress ❤
