My testimonial starts around my first year of college. I had discovered weightlifting my senior year of highschool and developed a passion for it, but I was going through some tough times during that period with home and also relationship problems which had caused me to stop lifting. Around late 2015/ early 2016 I started lifting again and I was searching YouTube for different educational videos on fitness and that’s when I stumbled on to your channel. At first it was just a couple videos on different exercise tips and help videos, but I found myself watching more and more of your “Yo Elliot” series and I became engrossed, I couldn’t stop watching! A lot of your videos helped me with advice on numerous things I was going through and I really just connected with your wisdom and philosophical way of thinking, that it helped me to explore those tendencies within myself and look at things in much different perspectives! Throughout the years I’ve continued to watch your videos on YouTube and follow your strength channel and I can honestly say you have been a great mentor/coach/teacher to me and have made me develop Mentally, Physically, Emotionally and most importantly Spiritually. My relationship with god has also grown tremendously over the years and I think your videos played a big part in that! I just want to take this time to just say I appreciate you and what you do. I hope the lord blesses you and your family and that you are able to keep doing what you’re doing because I’m sure you have positively affected many different people lives. I know for sure You definitely have affected mine! Take care Elliot and God Bless!

I have been following Elliot Hulse on and off since his early days on YouTube. Initially, in my early twenties, I was interested in the fitness advice, resulting in achieving a high fitness level in my university days. Since then, my priorities have developed, following a journey through young adulthood that focussed on career success and creating a family. Now, with a succesful STEM career on track, I'm a married man and father, looking to higher morals. At every stage Elliot has been there to offer advice and guidance, improving not just my life but hopefully that of those around me too. We're one happy traditional family. A big and sincere thanks to Uncle E!

Uncle Elliot!!! Been watching your videos on YouTube for about 3 years now and you’ve definitely helped me with my own personal development. Watching you grow closer to God helped me understand how different but similar our paths are. Thank you again uncle e for helping men like myself become our best.

Yo Elliott!!! I discovered my first Yo Elliott video back in 2012 during my first semester of college. I had great mentors in high school but had a hard time finding good mentorship after. Then I came across Elliott Hulse and he became my pseudo mentor in a way. I aligned with many of his values and principles. I admired his story, his approach to life and masculinity, and his devotion to his family. I started lifting seriously because of Elliott. I gained 20 pounds in my first year and remained under 10% bf. I kept many of his training principles through the years gaining a total of 70 lbs since I started lifting. I learned a ton between him and Chris. His mantra of Becoming The Strongest Version of Yourself always followed me as I started my own businesses, embracing real manliness, striving to be a great husband and father. I am a Christian. Seeing Elliotts spiritual growth has been a great pleasure of mine. I believe great men need God. To see Elliott be unapologetic with his views has been inspiring to me. Be bold in faith, brotha! Thank you Elliott for the years of wisdom and transparency! There is definitely your finger print in my story and I am grateful.

I Burnt fat in two weeks thank God because I was ten year need that. I started my own business, I stopped being rude to my GF and I came back to church.

My relationship with my future wife improved because of E

1) I Started my business 1.5 years ago as an online fitness coach 2) Currently my business is doing $1000 per month 3) This hasn't grown to the point that it has changed my life and given me the financial freedom I'm looking for but it has started me towards that path. And without listening to a ton of YO Elliot series i would have never started working out which also has lead me to my passion of helping others achieve their fitness goals

It's easy to underestimate Elliott, to somehow assume that strong men are dumb. Somehow, he seems to stumble upon wisdom...like yoga, which was the sliver lining of an injury. Coincidentally (?), he manages to include almost all the testosterone-boosting movements from other videos in Yoga for Strength...this thing is so amazing, I have never even seen the other 11 in the series, and probably never will. It's the core of my program, and I am holding just under 6 feet and a well-muscled 200 pounds, at 58 years young, thanks to Yoga for Strength. My family knows it as "doing Elliott", as in, "I did Elliott ('s video) today, and it kicked my ass again". I couldn't be more grateful.

I have been following Elliot since 2011 and all his videos have been amazing. It was because of him I got way more into training, and even did a small stent as a trainer. I inquired about starting my own Strength Camp back in 2018 because I loved the energy. Even his more recent videos have helped me get closer to God, being a man and father. Long time fan of his content and hope to continue supporting. Appreciate you Elliot! 💪

-I’ve added muscle in the past few months. -Recently, I started a Shopify store. -Yes, I’m no longer needy around women, and I can talk to pretty women now. -Absolutely, I’m growing closer to God everyday, and I’m surely staying in his word.

You are the reason I: Started 5x5 Reverted to Catholicism Got married Didn’t get the poison jab Am going to have a natural birth and am currently in Bradley method classes / going to go the homeschool route with all my children Am good at influencing men and taking advantage of my impulsive behavior Joined KT and “ruined” my life and overall you have been a huge influence and shaper in my life. I aim to destroy vices in my life and break the generational sins within my family and create a new generative pattern. PS: it wouldn’t let me add a before pic from when I started “Advanced 5x5”

1. No 2. No 3. Yes 4. Yes

My relationship with God improved. After the master class on overcoming vice, I was well aware that I needed Christian men surrounding me and keeping me accountable. After God put me in these groups, my job and confidence went up! I was able to conduct myself with better professionalism and social standing among my peers. I have signed up for a fitness event to showcase my strength. God has given me opportunities to walk into. I am very thankful for God allowing me to see that master class on vice. It was the start of my journey to be more dependent on God and finding a group of Christian men.

First of all i want to thank you for the great work that you're doing, world really needs it. Thanks to your videos it gave me the strength to start building myself up from ground zero back in 2014 ( which the image is about) I went from weak in 2014 boy into a strong looking man still keeping it up but gains have slowed down. I have a beautiful family with 2 kids, girl and a boy and my relationship is going great with my woman especially lately as i got into entrepreneurship. I feel strong connection to god and i'm channeling the energy from above into the world. And latest addition is myself starting to work as construction worker entrepreneur which has allowed me to double my income, it took long for me to understand what you meant by "focus on what's in front of you" I worked as employer previously but there's nothing better than to do what you love for living. I want to thank you again and here's some pictures. I really enjoyed your previous book King and King Transformation course. Ps. For some reason i have lost access into King Academy app could you look into that?

Elliot’s videos allowed me to strengthen my Catholic faith and find a tribe of like-minded men. Last year, I discovered Elliot’s YouTube channel. A long-time friend had texted me out of the blue to join their Zoom Bible Study for the summer. As a subscriber, I consistently recommended the channel to the guys, and after the summer ended, we made an effort to keep contact eventually meeting face to face. I still find myself rewatching videos to this day as Elliot has certainly changed my life for the better in hopes of becoming a father one day, taking on fasting alongside prayer, and combating the day to day societal battles of effeminate and degenerate behavior.

Hi Elliot I’m Ahmed a Sudanese Muslim guy, I started my workout since 2013, the thing that drove me to start in fitness industry in that time I was watching my 2 main favourites role model (Elliot & the rock “Dwayne Johnson”). I don’t know the main reason why I choose you as a role model, but most of my questions and my problems I got their answers from your videos. started learning the fundamentals of calories intake, compound movement exercises, how to use intermittent fasting to lose fat, how to bulk, supplements recommendations. I was 96kg I can guess , super fat to super athletic lean strong meteoric guy. Now I have obtained 3 different certificates in fitness industry from “Swedish Academy”. This is thanks to God and thanks to you. Then recently I started to learn to others (still under learning process) about aspects like red pill, female nature, how to deal with bad people, how to earn respect and dominance..etc. You don’t know how much I’m really thankful and have much respect to you, you are not just a role model, you are my big wise older brother that I never had. Much love and respect from your younger brother to E. Note: (sorry for my bad English).

it's been a great experience with him. The confidence boost exercise and semen retention video was awesome. I am now the strongest version of myself. Thanks Elliott ❤❤

I first stumbled upon Elliot Hulse's videos in 2009, and little did I know that this chance discovery would profoundly impact my life, transforming both my physique and my overall well-being. Over the past decade, I've watched countless hours of Elliot's content, and I can confidently say that he has been an unwavering source of inspiration and knowledge on my fitness journey. Elliot's unique blend of strength training, mental fortitude, and life advice has been a guiding light through the ups and downs of my fitness and personal development journey. His captivating presence on screen, coupled with his authenticity and raw passion, made every video an invaluable learning experience. Physique-wise, Elliot Hulse's teachings revolutionized the way I approach strength training and exercise. His emphasis on compound movements, proper form, and functional strength has been instrumental in helping me build a strong, resilient, and aesthetically pleasing physique. Through his guidance, I learned to set realistic goals, track my progress, and never shy away from pushing my physical boundaries. The gains I've made in muscle mass, strength, and endurance are a testament to the effectiveness of his teachings. Beyond just physical improvements, Elliot's impact on my life transcends the gym. His wisdom on mindset, personal growth, and mental toughness has enabled me to tackle life's challenges with unwavering confidence. He has taught me to harness my inner power, confront my fears, and embrace adversity as a stepping stone to personal growth. Elliot's emphasis on cultivating a strong mind and a strong body has helped me become a more well-rounded, resilient individual. His advice on self-acceptance, self-awareness, and the importance of balance in life has been transformative. I now approach each day with a renewed sense of purpose, knowing that I have the tools and mindset to conquer any obstacle. In conclusion, Elliot Hulse's influence on my life since 2009 has been immeasurable. He's not just a fitness coach but a life mentor, and his teachings have reshaped my physique and life in ways I could have never imagined. I am forever grateful for his dedication to sharing knowledge and wisdom, and I will continue to draw inspiration from his words and actions as I journey forward in life. Thank you, Elliot, for being a true game-changer. Sincerely, Ricardo Pereira

I had discovered Elliot Hulse the summer of 2021, randomly as his videos at that time stumbled upon my feed. Something about Elliot’s composed and wise approach to different and all views in life for my thinking to expand beyond what I was going thru at that time, His views on Catholicism allowed for myself to seek god and Jesus’s Christ within and around my “worldview”. As It’s 2023 I thank Elliot for the father figure and mature matters to embraces as we and all of us grow older. And I commence men to become strong again! Thank you uncle E!

Elliot has helped me not only in the physical sense but has allowed me to level up as a man, partner, and business partner. His physical exercises and mentality translate over into many other aspects of my life

As a teen who grew up in a single mother household, I never had a father figure. I was weak in my mind, body and spirit. I was an atheist and I was in a self destructive spiral searching for meaning in my life. Then, in one of my YouTube binges to avoid doing my homework, I came across your videos. You said to get right with God, and now I’m a leader of the young adults group in my church. You said to get your body right, and now I’m proud of the physique that I built. You said to breathe into your balls and now I’m so present in every moment that I can speak with fear with laser sharp focus. You are the paradoxical father figure of the internet and I am so grateful that God called you to create these videos and that I came across one of them. Thank you Elliot

For years I was obsessed with strictly bodybuilding and trained like a bodybuilder. And after I had multiple significant injuries I was afraid to deadlift, squat without assistance or perform almost any compound movement outside of presses. From watching Elliott for years and studying his videos and ebooks, buying almost every program he sold, finding a local coach who had a similar mindset to Elliott and visiting strength camp for multiple events, I slowly learned how to properly integrate corrective stretching, utilize release work and perform my compound movements in a corrective manner so that i was finally able to move some heavy weight again and feel strong like I had before many of my injuries. Not only that, but many of the aesthetic plateaus I felt stuck with from my distorted view of proper training, I heavily attribute to the execution of heavy deadlifts, squats and the strongman movements I had not performed previously.

The eyes on the left had seen way too many things they shouldn't have. I've had people die in my arms. Had to resuscitate a couple of people. My heart has stopped 7 times. Stabbed. All that good stuff life can bring. Stay positive. I don't all the time. Some days are dark as hell. I wouldn't be able to help the people I'm helping today if it wasn't for all of that, though. Some things there really isn't a positive behind why it happened. But there is always a positive to look at. Life is weird. Do shit that makes you feel like a better person. Be kind. :) And grateful today for where the big man upstairs has brought me to. Elliot was there through my darkest if times. He was my foundation for the gym. I went to the gym then I'd quit. I'd keep coming back. I'm so glad that I did. The gym today is my happy place. The place where I learn to keep going in other areas of life. Elliot has helped with life choices, through his videos, that have brought me to where I am today. I'm struggling a lot at the moment. But I will keep fighting!! Elliot is on our side. :)

Dear Elliot, I have been a supporter of your Youtube content since 2016. During that time, I was living in The Bahamas where I was born and raised, feeling as though I had no distinct direction of where I wanted to be in life. After the passing of my father, I struggled with garnering respect from peers and often felt as if I was just going through the motion because he never got a chance to validate my confidence. Even though I graduated from University and did everything a "good" guy should do , I did not feel like I owned my confidence or self-esteem. Your video " How to become a Lion amongst Sheep" came across my YouTube page and I realized that I wanted to put my foot down and become the Lion I know God created me to be. Amongst other videos, I began taking your advice on spirituality and fitness. I then decided to stop settling for a safe life and applied for a Full scholarship that would eventually afford me the opportunity to leave home and study in Canada. Being away from a complacent environment and becoming uncomfortable has help to transform my thinking and become a beast. I left in 2018 and now, I have a family of my own and in the best shape of my life at age 32. Thank you for being a leader for many of us young men out there who followed you and also watch you grow as a traditional unapologetic Man in this strange world. God bless! Kirk.

Yooo Elliot, I’m a 22 year old in the state of Co, I’ve been watching you for many many years since I was about 13-14. You were the first man I saw at a father figure and mentor because I hadn’t had that growing up. I can think of countless videos. But one that really helped was one you made years ago about losing weight in 7 days, walking faster, eating like the caveman diet. As a young kid who grew up pretty chubby but still athletic, I tried it and it changed my life. I was one of those 3am motivation kids who always knew I wanted more. So i thank you Elliot. I feel like you’re extremely underrated now. Because you have been preaching masculinity on men for over a decade now and even longer. You’ve changed my life sir. This picture is most recent of me, I recently went on a bulk and put on a fair amount of muscle. I am 6’1, 200lbs. And I’m a little stuck right now, I wanna get into shape and do calisthenics as I did when I was a teen when I watched you to lose weight and become stronger. But here is me after a little bodybuilding training.

Elliot is a true inspiration he is not only a true warrior in the flesh but also a warrior in his faith. If you struggle in your life i strongly suggest to listen to this man. Thanks to him i could built up my physic and was in the best shape of my life....Thanks Elliot

Yo Elliot ! I’ve been watching your videos since I was 14 years old.( I’m 23 now ) I would like to thank you for supporting men and our mental health. You have been preaching to be the best version of ourselves before the world have full on turned against us. Thank you for my first spiritual awakening back in 2014. I’ve continued to better myself over the years. I’ve fallen down and gotten back up more times than I can remember. The fight is never over

Yo Elliot, I am grateful that I found your chanel many years ago and by everyday becoming a better man I lost 7 kg and gained muscle, also started doing judo/sambo, thanks for all your work

Yo Elliot! Ive been watching your videos since i was 16, im 30 now. Cant believe it, went through many transformations but this one is my best one. I became the strongest version of myself watching your videos, Thank you my friend.

I’ve followed Elliott for a while and he’s one of the OG fitness YouTube channels that helped me on my journey to regaining weight and strength after an injury that caused me to stop and I lost a LOT of weight. On top of that I’ve just married my beautiful wife at 25 and being strong for my family is super important for me. Thank you for the wise words of advise Elliott 🤝🏾

I have lost about 10kgs of fat and went down to 12% bodyfat.

Yooo Elliot! Man this was a damn good journey, I have a photo from the time I got started back in 2015, and I remember watching the video, "How to get rid of belly fat forever", cause back at that time, I had some love handles and needed to get rid of it. So I followed your advise, did an hour walk straight when I woke up, I drank just water and skipped all sugar. It took me about three months and I was rid of my fat. It felt amazing and without your advice, it would have took me years, to understand what I needed. Today I weigh about 85kg, I started at 58kg in 2015. I am again a little fatty now, but again I'm following the same advice as your video from back then and I know it will get me there again. I also really love the deep spiritual understanding I see in your videos and the way you bring it over. Thanks a lot Elliot, Mike

Hey! I’ve been a long time follower of your YouTube content, which I’ve learned a lot from over the years. A few years ago, I started doing Spartan races, which is when I started to want to include more functional training, instead of just the bro split style training I found myself doing. Taking some of what I learned from you about functional, explosive, strength training, I was able to keep getting stronger, more conditioned, leaned out, and improved my times as I’ve continued to run Spartan races. This photo shows where I was when I started this journey, compared to the shape/conditioning I currently maintain. Thanks for all that you’ve done and continue to do! I’m looking forward to getting my hands on your book, whether or not I win a copy here. Cheers! Alex

12 Weeks 100 Workouts - What Happened?! So I’ve not taken a single rest day in 12 weeks. People will call me out and say I’m over training and I’ll reply with “there’s no such thing as over training, just under recovering” Let me point something out to anyone who claims training 6/7 days a week is considered overtraining. All branches of the military especially the navy seals, SAS and other special forces go through rigorous training periods and once qualified they will continue with the training. In the past 12 weeks I’ve done the following; * Dropped 9kg * Reduced my body fat by 7% * Improved my metabolic age by 10 years * Reduced my 1 mile time by 2 mins * Had the best energy * Felt the fittest I’ve ever been in my life You have to understand that any physical activity you incorporate into your life will be a physical stress on your body. Therefore, this needs to be matched with an equal level of recovery sources such as below; * Adequate protein intake * Adequate water intake * Moderate or no consumption of caffeine * Moderate or no consumption of alcohol * Sufficient GOOD QUALITY sleep * Cold showers * Meditation You can’t build a house without cement. The same goes for your body, all the points above are the glue that holds all the training together. Fail to incorporate enough recovery resources and you will be under recovering (what most will call over training) At the end of the day if you are not recovering it’s more likely to be caused by a lack of insufficient measures to promote recovery rather than too many training sessions. Stay Resilient 🫡🫡

I’ve been watching Elliot since 2012. I didn’t have a father figure growing up & Elliot has served me peace in many days of hysteria, and what would all seem like the end. His advice, and teachings have grounded me into the young man I am today; Strong, focused, determined, and disciplined. I have a great relationship & my girlfriend believes in me, she trusts me to lead the way. In my years of homelessness I excercised the 5x5 routine and this also has created a strong frame, and healthy habits. Thanks to you Elliot I am closer to a God & am well on my way to fulfilling the purpose set out for me by my highest power. Staying Strong over here, DONE !

Hey! I bought King's transformation program in january 2022 and in just 6 months I lost 45 pounds.

I went from 150lbs and have watched your videos for a long time. In 2016 my wife and I went on our honeymoon and I came and met you at your gym. Becoming the strongest version of yourself and not comparing yourself to others has been a core / staple in my life. Thank you

I went from a weak simpy ass to an man of God and strength when. When I started watching Elliot husle. At the gym I’m hitting lots of PRS and gaining strength and muscle mass

Im 29, I believe I started looking up to Elliot and hodge twins for bodybuilding fitness and masculinity advice. Elliot was always geared more towards masculinity and using higher control of the body and mind to do so, almost on a spiritual level, whereas the hodge twins delivered advice comedically. I can't says what's helped me the most, but all of his old videos have helped me a lot through the years. Thanks Elliot, Time just keeps flying!

Yo Elliot, After year of being the skinny guy I finally decided it was time to change. I started not knowing anything and took to YouTube to get the answers. Boom! I found you, I watched all your videos, and used to play your motivational ones every morning. I purchased your Hybrid train program back in 2013. Training became my life.

Elliot has helped me when I needed guidance. I understood alot when following him and observing his observings. Truly a blessing.

I’ve been a huge fan an follower since the old gym when you were doing YO ELLIOTT!! Followed the 5x5 program and made some serious gains! I got way stronger than I ever imagined I could!!! Your inspirational videos kept me going through some hard times, I can’t count how many times I’ve watched “The Transcendent Rep” and “Lift that shit or for trying” I would love a copy of your book more than anything, especially signed. Thanks for everything!! Much love from Maine Jason Scott

Watch video

I want to share a particular message I will never forget as long as I live. Several years ago, (I am a long time fan) in a particular video Elliott spoke about “doing less”. I though he was crazy. (He couldn’t know what he was talking about.) This was back when the whole world prided themselves on being busier and trying to be as busy as possible- (pre-covid). Elliott recommended we work hard to cut out the unnecessary and focus on the most important things. This was not a message other people were sharing at the time. I felt something in my life needed to change and this kind of change was difficult for me. I prided myself on being the person that can do everything and was doing everything. This change took a long time to occur but I was successful in learning to prioritize things in my life and this has led to an immeasurable better quality of life and I am very successful professionally and financially for it too. Elliott’s voice is the only voice I hear on YouTube which I associate as that of an older brother. I will be getting this book no matter what. Love you, BRO! Tom Dusi Connecticut USA

Elliot’s videos really motivated me spiritually and physically. In a time where I had more questions than answers. His online advice helped send me down a path that is much more fruitful and rewarding. I’ve become a stronger catholic through his and other likeminded mentorship. Even from a distance he’s influenced me in a positive way. Becoming less worldly and more of the traditional man I’m meant to be. I’ve joined the military. I’m working on building my own business. I care more about my family than I ever have before, And my relationship w god is unmeasurable. Becoming a better catholic is one of my biggest goals. Serving god is a duty we all should take on. Physically I’ve experienced gains in the gym through his 5x5 programs. Which has become my favorite. I love lifting heavy and being strong. Thank god, and thank you for reading. Stay healthy!

During covid mentally I was all over the place I didn’t feel like I have any structure in my life with a lot of brain fog and no clear direction. I stumbled across a video by Uncle E and his words woke me up like an alarm. I’m very careful about who I listen to online but with Uncle E I saw the truth in what he was saying through my own personal experiences and I truly believe God has blessed this man to help other men. With that belief I placed my trust in Uncle E and humbly absorbed like a sponge all the knowledge Uncle E was dropping. It’s been a few years now since I started listening to Uncle E and now God has blessed me with a son to pass on what I have learnt . Thank you Uncle E you have changed my life for the better from feeling lost on this path of life to getting back on track and working on my relationship with God .

My name is Christian and I am 23 years old. In middle school and high school I would watch Elliot Hulse videos every day religiously. I loved videos of him competing with Chris, doing supplement reviews, and his workout/advice videos. At an early age Ellliot motivated me to not only workout more, he helped me consider the quality of water I was drinking, the relationships I was creating, and the lifestyle I was living - at a very early age mind you. Elliot was my cyber dad in many ways and gave me insight and ideas that were so beneficial to hear at a young age. Throughout the years I’ve lost gained and lost pounds here and there but now live a healthy, conscious life to the best of my ability thanks to Elliot and people like Paul Chek, Tim Welch, etc. I would love a book but honestly I’m writing this in hope that maybe Elliot will read this message and understand the impact he had on me and many other kids my age. Elliot, if you’re reading this, thank you man! You’ve changed my life.

I've been watching Elliot for a long time now and started with his "make your voice deeper" video way back in the day. I ended up rediscovering him when he became Catholic. Regarding fitness, Elliot helped me build muscle a ton this past year. His video with Jay was a game changer for me as it's hard to stay motivated when all these influencers have 2 hours a day to workout. Elliot showed me how a 15-30m workout, when done right, can still give me the gains I need and still have time to be a dad. It's inspirational seeing his journey and I recommend him to anyone looking to become strong. Thank you Elliot, my wife is noticing!

I had my heart broken by my girlfriend of 7 years in July 2021, had no life goals and was wasting my life. Weighing in at 127kg (280lbs) I have spent the past two years 2 years working on myself mentally & physically. I now sit at 85kg and won my first mma fight in August of this year, I have more progress to go but looking back my girlfriend of 7 years breaking my heart was exactly what I needed.

I have not lost a particular amount of fat, nor gained a particular large amount of muscle. But in 2009 I was going through a breakup , and as a skinny 21 year-old I started going to the gym as a means of escape from the crushing feeling breakups give. I discovered Elliots video on , one in particular stood out, Lean Hybrid muscle building, and it changedy life, I have followed E along his journey and of discovery through life, and I have gained large amounts of strength and now actively compete in powerlifting competitions , I have a great job, wife and kids.

Yes I have lost fat and built muscle. I have been following you since 2009. You were one the the first fitness influencers I ever followed. Right after high school I gained 50-60 lbs. Then when my son was born I gained more weight. It wasn’t until I needed to change my life for him. Weighing almost 240 lb I managed to focus on my health to be stronger and faster for myself and my son. Working 2 jobs, having a newborn, and going through a breakup with my sons mom and going through a custody battle against her was difficult. The video “Embrace Pain and Suffering” was not only about working out, but also life for me. The only thing I knew I could control was my physic as well as my mentality. I thank you for everything you have done. Even if I don’t get a singed copy of your book, I hope you do get the time to read this. You have no idea how you have changed my life. For that I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. God bless.

Yo Elliot This is Dr Juan Carlos Cassano aka the Golden Era Bookworm. I started watching your channel back in 2013 and learnt so much from your channel regarding fat loss and muscle gain. Not only that, in recent years, you have taught ne how to be a better father and role model for my children and community. Here is my 8 week transformation. Best regards, Carlos

Elliot I have become the best version of myself through your rational fasting course, unlike most other fasting protocols your method allows you to build muscle and strength whilst losing fat and upgrading your health.

I remember watching Elliott when I was way younger and really enjoying and clicking with what he shares! After many years I found his message again and it is still on the same (great) level! Thanks Elliott

i have built great strength seeing and practicing elliot hulse videos

I saw you from the bottom, now you up.👊👊👊I’ve seen the evolution of Elliot Hulse. Proud of you.

Yea, muscle! I have come back to gym/weight training after 5 years of being stuck! I believe that this world needs healing and masculine energy is a force for good 👍

Before seeing your videos on bio energetics I was stiff and tense. I struggled to communicate with others and I couldn’t figure out what the issue was. Your videos and eventually the book by Robert Moore help me to understand the tension in my body caused by stress, anxiety and fear of others opinions. I’d become cowardly even though I was strong willed and never backed down from anyone physically I couldn’t figure out how to socialise or why people thought I was weird. The more I thought about it the worse it became I was on a downward spiral. Once I started doing the exercises you prescribed and not holding on to tension and learning more about the issues I was facing when around others and in conversation I got my confidence back. This also significantly affected my posture but thanks to your videos I’m nearly straightened out. I’m healthy, strong and on my way to becoming a good man. Thanks for playing a part in my development Elliot.

I have followed Elliot for years and watching his you tube videos motivates me that every as a man I have to better myself by going to the gym and lately also being for influential to others. I have lost some weight over the years not by much but I have little at a time.

I’ve been watching Elliot for years and he’s inspired me to just speak and be myself in front of the camera and I’ve always found him insightful always speaking his truth and always has an interesting perspective on things. I’ve seen his growth and I enjoy watching Elliot in this new phase of helping men reclaim masculinity and how fitness is still a very big part of his life.

YO ELLIOT! I’ve been a fan of you since I was in middle school, I’m currently about to turn 23 next month and studying for cyber security. I have always lacked the obedience to stay in the gym. I first started watching you when me and my friends first started to workout together. I’ve finally started to take fitness seriously, and for the past 3 months I have finally started to see results. I started around 145-150 I’m now 155. I’ve always had the skinny tall build, I got so tired of looking in the mirror and seeing pictures of me with my shirt off and always felt embarrassed about being skinny. My arms have grown significantly over the past few months, to the point where my fiancée complements me all the time now, and tells me how proud she is of me. We have both been working out and trying to become more fit together. I find myself always watching your videos for gym motivation and techniques on muscle building. You have been a huge inspiration to me where every time I tried to start my fitness journey I would think about your videos first. I was always told that when you commit the time to working out and you finally see progress you become ADDICTED! I hope this drive sticks with me so I can change my life for the better. Thank you for all your advice and motivation! Much love, Ryan.

Yo elliot! I would like to start off by thanking you for everything you do. I started off weight lifting back in the day when I was about 16 years old. I was always over weight as a kid. As far back as I can remember I was always insecure about how I looked. Back in the day I discovered Strength Camp on Youtube and I remember just always watching videos in my free time to learn about fitness. When I started working out I was my heaviest at 315 pounds. I learn so much valuable information from your channel that has helped me so much over the years. Just about strength training and mobility and how to properly lift. I was able lost over 100 pounds. After a few years of losing weight I got comfortable and started to fall off my fitness. I went though a lot of life experiences and just ended up not being happy where I was once again in life. Fast forward to the pandemic in 2020. I came across your newer videos on YouTube about how to be a king and be a better man. Those videos gave me a new outlook on life. I started to understand life more and I started changing the way I was living. I remember vividly being a lazy f*** and not wanting to work and would go months with no job. But I learned so much and to just doing what is in front of me and without any complaining. If I do the right thing everyday, God will reward me. That has helped me tremendously to grow in my life and I’m very grateful for where I’m at today. I am a much different person physically and mentally and a lot of that is due to your YouTube channel. I will still go back sometimes to old videos to keep myself accountable or even give myself a good refresher on some of the great advice you give. Thank you very much I appreciate everything you do!

My Man uncle E , Elliott i always discovers you when i need you the most i first saw you back in 2015 then rediscovered you in 2019 i saw your video about how to gain respect in peers and i got to know that you have to put something on the table to other guys to see your value. I started training karate and boxing as well . Coz i was skinny kid 5.10 (which is good height in my country) i understood that if i acquire strength and fighting skills then it will be good for my confidence and my friends and other people will take me more seriously. Personality wise i learned i was coward tyrant from your videos which put everything into perspective why i was been overly nice to others for no reason and it made me change myself for good now im more virtuous as well as good god fearing person . I see myself differently my peers treats me different i feel respected confident and strong all thanks to you. Also i do bio energetics daily alongside i boxing and mauy thai now.

I simply started applying the principles that Elliott has/is using. Periods of fasting - coupled with lifting heavy to gain strength. Add in some mobility work/stretching to prevent "muscle virus'

Your words changed me as a man,i improved my discipline and build a great physique.I also grew closer to God.I have to thank God and you to make pray and guide me to him.

Yo Elliot, I have been a huge fan for a Ling time. When I started working offshore I ballooned up from 220 to 250 lbs. After that I went about losing that weight all the wrong ways. I did massive amounts of cardio for years on end. I dropped down to 170lbs. One day while browsing the YouTube I came across a video that showed the only 4 exercises you need to build muscle and get strong. I watched and built a program around those lifts. That was probably 8 years ago. I am now 38 yrs old, back up to 220 and in better shape than I was in my 20s. Your videos started me down this fitness rabbit hole and I cannot thank you enough.

I have been lifting weights since I was 13 year's old. Now I am a powerlifter at 21 years old. I have built lots of muscle but most importantly I have built my character!

Regain men strenght and the right path !

I was a skinnyfat drug user, submissive to his abusing girlfriend. Smoking weed all day, doing everything she said. Addicted to weed, porn and my abusive girlfriend. Had months of mental breakdowns and depressive thoughts. Joined an mma gym, left the girl, 1 year later i fight in the cage and win my fights. Single but happy, no degenerate behaviour or pornography. Like a true alfa. Thank you Elliot. You have been a father figure for me past years. May God protect you and your family🙏🏼

"Mens sana in corpore sano" ( a sound mind in a strong body). Thank you Elliot for endeavoring to not only share these principles but embody them. They have helped me trememdously. Men, you are needed!

You made me more muscular, gave me the views of a traditional father and helped me find a wife worthy homely, family centric girl, thank you!

I am writing to you to express my deep gratitude for the profound impact your "Yo Elliot" video has had on my life. Your guidance and wisdom helped me transform from a skinny, insecure, video game-addicted teen weighing just 110 pounds, to the confident and powerful personal trainer and strength coach I am today weighing 180 pounds. His passion for fitness and personal growth ignited my passion and inspired me to embark on a life-changing fitness journey. his honest advice about taking on challenges, building physical and mental strength, and finding purpose resonated with me. Your videos not only shaped my physical transformation but also inspired me to pursue a career as a personal trainer. Your example of turning a passion into a career pointed the way for me and now I help others achieve their fitness goals. I want to thank you sincerely for changing my life and inspiring countless others worldwide. May you and your family be blessed with continued success and happiness. With profound gratitude ,much love from morocco Abdeljalil Guemra

I have followed Elliot Hulse on YouTube for over a decade now. I was skinny fat my whole life and lacked confidence. At 6'2" and 155 at my skinniest, when my son was born in 2020 I new I needed to make a change and actually apply the advice I had been listening to from Elliot. Since 2020, I have focused on strength training consistently. I have built muscle and gotten leaner. I am now 180 pounds and still getting bigger and stronger. I am a more masculine, fit, and capable man thanks to applying Elliot's fitness advice.

My name is Cade Trahan. I’m a 22 year old college student. I am an OG fan of Elliot from the strength camp days. I remember finding his/your videos while I was in early high school. During my junior year of college I suddenly lost my best friend and also went through a major heart break. This was when I decided to get to work. These 2 photos are exactly 2 years apart. Through my journey into fitness and personal development I have become an example to many in my circle and have dropped all vices. There are many different avenues I want to explore in my adult life and look forward to graduating college and giving value to the world.

I haven't gone on a weight loss journey with you Elliot. I have however listed to a majority of your advice videos on relationships under traditional methods within Catholism. I do enjoy your videos and you help expand on my knowlede provided by an evangelical preacher 'Paul Washer'. Thank you kindly for your videos; they have helped me in my daily life when understanding how to control emotion and not allow women to control me. I presume your book provides further information on the psychological strengths men must adhere to in the building of his empire and temple. here is my address should I be a lucky winner, thank you Elliot for your advice which has helped me for at least the last two years. Before your video i would score an INFJ on Myer Briggs tests, with your help i now score an INTP.

I started watching Elliott Hulse's videos at 17 while I was living in Tampa, FL. I frequented the Strength Camp "Open Gyms" on Wednesdays to get a chance to talk with Elliott and be around like minded people. His videos and advice shaped my approach to life’s difficulties as a young man and gave me the courage to move across the country to Phoenix, AZ shortly after graduating college. Have you lost fat? When I was 18, I was categorized as "skinny fat," weighing in at a mere 130 lbs. Over the span of a decade, I have transformed my physique, weighing in at a lean 170 lbs at 30 years old. How? The foundation of my transformation is rooted in a consistent focus on compound movements and a commitment to progressive overload. I've educated myself, becoming a certified nutrition coach, allowing me to gain a deep understanding of food and its impact on the body. My diet, tailored for performance and aesthetics, emphasizes high protein, and strategic carbohydrate intake, especially on running days, with a moderate consumption of healthy fats. Have you built muscle? Absolutely. The 40 lbs I've added over the years is predominantly muscle mass. Lifting a minimum of four times a week has been a constant, and I've been able to integrate endurance cardio into my regimen. With my first half marathon just around the corner. Through strategic nutrition and training, I've achieved a muscular build and endurance capability.
