This man wasn't just fighting demons, he was fighting the 7 circles of hell

Dr. Mike will use his head to carry the boats

Goggins inspired me to lose over 30 kilos of fat, get very lean, and see my abs - at 53 years young. Now 55 years, lean around the year. As he says: ”motivation is bullshit, it comes and goes. You need to have drive”.

You don’t go to Goggins for physical training advice. You go to him for the mental game he brings, to push yourself past your limits.

I've subscribed to the 4 ball programme and can vouch for now having 4 balls. I used to have 0 balls and now I'm a satisfied 4 ball having customer. Thanks Dr Mike!!

David Goggins may not be the go to guy for technical elements of training but he is absolutely the go to guy for the mental elements of perseverance and toughness.

I listened to his book and because of all his ultra marathon stuff, he could barely walk. APPARENTLY the insane stretching routine helped him to actually work through it all.

[Whackfear]

I zoned out during the app ad and suddenly I'm listening to Mike ramble about balls, bigger balls, "ball-less assholes like me" for a long, long time

Changed my life

[Beautiful-ModelBarbara-Hut-sj]

When Goggins was talking about his 100-500 routine he was answering the question about not having stretch marks.

"Icarusing yourself into the Sun"... Come on, this line needs way more recognition.

[richiec]

What's strange, and psychologically interesting, is the recognition that if sleeping required effort (yet required exactly the same time and had exactly the same effects) these people would be championing its benefits.

[BeautifulBarbaraHutchkinso-ym]

He listens to his haters comments on a recorded tape recorder while he worksout, he's just a legend!!

I never understood the waking up so early thing. Any doctor will tell you how important sleep is for recovery, longevity, mental health, etc… In the end waking up super early just means you have to go to bed early.

I have to wake up at 4am due to work so I’m in bed by 8 so I can get 7-8 hours of sleep. It’s no different than someone waking up at 7 and going to bed at 11. It’s such a weird flex when you think about it.

[playthora]

I am always amazed by Mike ability to clearly enunciate each word and also communicate ideas so fluently with humor. The man rarely ever mumbles.

[Managing_Kreativity]

Idk what it is, but this might just be my favorite video you've made so far. you seem super relaxed and there was a really good flow to everything.

David Goggins turned my life around. Last November, I was 250lbs obese, health issues, my life in shambles, drowning in misery. I needed something to turn my life around, then I listened to Goggins and I started running. If anyone is going to change my life, it will be up to me. Last November, I can barely do a mile, now I run 5K twice a wk and working on reaching my first 6 mile run eventually to my first 10K. I've lost 70lbs, and my health problems are in remission. I don't do David Goggin's crazy workout routine, he does his and I do mine. I do my own strength training and 10 min stretches. However, I do listen to him instead of music every time I workout, knowing that It's possible to push a little harder, farther, and faster.

[Csailor]

Goggins literally tells people “I’m not telling you to go break yourself off.” He doesn’t advocate anyone train like he does, but he does advocate for people to push themselves beyond their self perceived and self imposed limits.

He trains for mindset, not for physical gains and optimal growth. Gotta analyze him through the correct lens.

[random]

I love how you didn’t just rag on him like many. His routine is seriously impressive and he deserves respect for what he does. David Goggins has changed my life and I’ve learned so much from both of you. Thank you. I’m scheduled for 4 ball surgery tomorrow, wish me luck!!!

[noahlejeune]

I'm a noob (working out properly for about 3 months) and I've basically just been using Dr. Mike as my own personal trainer. When I have questions about how to properly do this or that, I just watch how he does it and take his advice. As recently as 5-10 years ago, this level of extensive and detailed science-based expertise simply wasn't available to the average joe. THANK YOU, MIKE!!!

Bro that balls commercial was straight
