What Is Wrong With Christian Guzman?

I absolutely love Christian and he was the reason I got into lifting when I was in junior high. Hard to see and wish nothing but the best for him

[CampbellD]

Not here to judge or criticize Christian. Simply here to say I’m praying for his physical, mental, and emotional health. Thank you for shedding light on this Coach Greg.

This is a lesson to everyone, happiness is a carrot and stick situation. Enjoy the journey and what you’re doing today because today is all you’ve got and will ever have.

Poor Guzman he's clearly in a dark place hope the guy find peace.

You said "he can never be satisifed with the work that he's doing" and I think you're spot on! One statement that has become synonymous with his brand is 'proud but never satisifed' and while this can certainly be a productive outlook on things it also bears the potential to be damaging, particularly if you're not actively conscious of the 'pride' component.

Honestly I always thought there’d be a snapping point with CG. The only way his mind works is more, growth, next, bigger, better. This always seemed so inbalanced and restless. There’s a time when the mind and body say: enough is enough. I hope he isn’t too proud to admit something is off, because the tendency to deny everything is probably very big (it’s very easy to tell yourself ‘it’s just my personality’). I hope he gets the help he needs, because coming from someone who has had a huge burnout it can actually take a very long time to slow your brain down afters years and years of pushing and grinding. Not an easy process.

Been following him for years. He started with the Alphaland project and from that moment on he barely slept. He was like working day and night to get all of it done. Now that it is done, it's opened up to everyone he got the crash of that period. He's trying to push more and more and he's mind is just telling him he's packing on to much. Been there, had the same happening. Speech all over the place, thoughts all over the place, lack of energy etc. He is burnt out from this and he needs to rest. The only thing he is doing is just pushing because of the peer pressure he has from social media. (my thoughtprocess, not neccessarily true)

Thanks for posting this, man. I’ve had my own mental health moments where I needed some help, and it is more common than a lot of people think. Raising awareness for mental health can really help a lot of people get the help that they need.

Classic drug user type conversation. Had them multiple times with patients as well as my own brother. You just nod, politely smile, and wonder why the conversation is all over the place.

Christian is one of the first fitness Youtubers I started following when I seriously got into fitness about 8 years ago. I completely agree with everyone that he's been off the last 2 years, really since Alphaland was announced. The guy has done so damn much for more people than I think he even knows. I feel like hes working himself into the ground and it's really starting to show. Hope he gets through this and needs to start chilling more. As you said, he truly has nothing to prove.

[jigarpatel]

He stays up for 24 hours and works. Monday through Tuesday then sleeps a little bit on Wednesday… and then he does something similar Thursday and Friday then crashes on the weekends.. check out the don’t be sour podcast. His work schedule is crazy

[griffinhatt]

Great video greg, I'm bipolar and this definitely is similar to my manic experiences. I hope he doesn't feel too much shame when he gets help. Prayers for Christian Guzman. <3

[ericcarson]

I remember when he bought his dad a car. Christian and his dad were so happy. His dad was so grateful he started to cry. That made me cry. I hope he is ok. I hope his family and friends get him help. I'm praying for you Christian. You're not alone. There are people who love you.

Man just the sleep part alone gets you. I haven’t been that off but pretty close. Currently working Amazon third shift. 6:30pm-5am. Take kids to school, I’m back in college full time and I’m 39. It has messed me up and I’m going to have to find a way to slow down soon. I might sound like a hypocrite but needs to slow down, and as we age we can not keep getting by on little sleep. It’s brutal! Not to mention anything he could potentially be taking to stay up and get stuff done. He is a great person he just needs to slow down and take care of himself.

[bolenjames]

Greg - please watch the last podcast he did on Don't be sour. The man is working like crazy, sometimes pulls 24 hour days with no sleep possibly 48.. He is literally working himself to death trying to grow his empire. This is where most of his odd behavior stems from.

[CagedRyno]

This is what Aderall/Vyvanse looks like when someone takes it that really doesn’t need it. I was prescribed in college and my roommate took one to study for a test. He was up for 3 days and sounded just like this when he spoke. Said it was a horrible experience and I never had those reactions.

[geedunk]

Hope CG gets better man.
I’m in a field where everyone also chases more and more. You can see the more money they get.. their eyes become soulless.

Just aim to be better for yourself and still learn to enjoy every moment. When you don’t have health, and peace. You have nothing

[leanneeggenberger]

I noticed this even when he showed up in other people's videos..really hope he is okay! He honestly just seems exhausted.

[FABRIKIN]

This is definitely Adheral plus no sleep. That has happened to me before, mix the Pre workout, caffeine and this is exactly what you get. He’s probably on addheral XR

[carter]

He may be manic. As someone who experienced this when starting working out it can really be a big issue. He seems to have a hard time communicating. This is common with people who become too self absorbed and can lead to mania
