We Are The One Percent (of muscle and strength)

[GGPvideos]

TROOF.

[CdotDixon]

Haha this sounds like one of the adverts on GTA 4's radio.

[Shake99]

This is funny shit!

[alsadegh]

real talk

[boucher40]

Is there a podcast? Or just a small clip

[strengthcamp]

@boucher40 i call it a podcast, but really its just me reading my daily e mail out loud for people who may rather listen than read.

[constillustrus]

fuck yeah...



[MrEthereality]

Elliot, what is your goal with these videos? To inform? To influence? Well, I hope you will soon realize that by acting superior to people, you're being horribly inefficient at both. Present a logical argument, listen to others, and be open to criticism without all the immature name-calling and self-aggrandizing; perhaps both you and your audience will learn something.

[strengthcamp]

@MrEthereality somtimes.... i just like to piss people off. (and clearly its working well) :)

[TheSutchylad]

@MrEthereality How is he acting superior to people!? He teaches sport science/ fitness to the world and has surely inspired me. Just because hes a confident guy and your probably just some idiot whos got nothing better to do than 'find someone on youtube to criticise with all his big words and grammer'. We (Me, Elliot and many others) are the one percent, you are certainly not

[MrEthereality]

@TheSutchylad

I'm not trying to criticize, I'm trying to help. Elliot's a great guy who I've learned a great deal from and I'm also inspired by him. As for how he is acting superior to people:

"puny, weak, lazy losers" "chubby little fingers" "smucks" "lazy loonies" etc.

My main problem was that he was criticizing Occupy Wall Street without having any semblance of understanding regarding what they're protesting. Which, for the record, is political corruption and bought politicians.

[dapowerlifter09]

YO Elliot..... You rock!!!

[jilla82]

Did he really say College education isnt that important? Sure, if you just want to make money. But if you look at the big picture, America needs more college graduates (Scientist, engineers etc..) to keep this great nation ahead of the curve. Its a problem when our brightest only want to work in the market, while immigrants come here for college to learn, then go back with that knowledge. Now all we are left with are people who only care about themselves, and not about this country.

[malechauvinistxy]

@jilla82 I agree...we fund high school education..why not university?

but you dont necessarily need a degree to be ahead of the curve and change society and improve our technology...Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Albert Einstein, Nikola tesla...all dropouts...all geniuses....all males.

why are the males(who have a superior mind to females) not encouraged more in schools?..females seem to get all the attention from teachers and obnoxious(geniuous) male behaviour is seen as bad and discouraged.

[brongladest]

@malechauvinistxy damn...just, damn.

[damuschka]

Dude you are a monster in respect to lifting weight, but politicly you are a fly. Sry to say that bro....

[juice2111]

Perfectly said

[ilikepollo79]

I seem to become a bigger and bigger fan of Elliott after each of his videos!

[dillonb91]

bassnectar... fuck yes

[Matmo11]

OWS just wants the separation of corporations and the government. That doesnt seem too unreasonable to me. The two have been jerking each other off since 2008 at the people's expense. The 99% aren't just mad that there are billionaires who don't share their money with every one else - its not about class warfare . :\

[jilla82]

Jesus Christ...paying for roads, schools, health care isnt stealing from anyone. Have you been to other 1st world countries? We are clearly behind them (even go to South Korea, it will feel like you're in the future). Corporations have no problem laying off tons of people, even while are profitable...why is that ok? Why is it ok for corporate hands to be in the government? Middle class shrinking, the super rich control more, and you really think it comes from working hard?

[WHOwasTALKINGtoYOU]

I want equality I want Arnolds old body . And I want it NOW.

Its sad that 47 % of americans relate to that post .

[OMFGWTFBBQLEET]

I miss the non-political videos.

[onemindonespirit]

Love the comparison.

[mazdarx7head]

Its like the strong tony Robbins

[yeeaaabuddy]

u should write a book or summit id buy it be a good read!

[JCGrantatAC]

It was a funny and timely video. I see a lot of liberals are predictably whining about jokes, metaphors, and analogies. No surprise.

[mean71cuda]

Why is it o.k. for people to make fun of health/strength coaches yelling at their clients making us seem of lower intelligence, yet it is widely accepted for a doctor to be calm and quiet when telling you that you need a better diet or more intense exercise? Double standard. Fuck America. I'm 'out this bitch'.

[ThePositiveAussie]

/watch?v=uE5xZKszXMQ

[danisasuperbeast]

YO! **READ THIS** can you make a quick podcast on muscle supplements and things to help gain weight and muscle (Not food, but if you can mention some)

[Njderig]

I love this rant! Good job, man. I started out tall and skinny, but I worked my ass off in the gym for 16 years naturally and Im proud to say I am huge and strong. People who havent seen me in years are like WTF! Most of my old high school peers are either fat or skinny with a beer gut, even the ex jocks. Lazy fucks.

[shadowknight132]

Great motivation. It makes me wanna train even when I lose motivation.

[dlmw93]

My Dad came from India - It took years to save enough money to afford just the plane ticket. The first day he came here he got a job working as a salesman. He barely knew English. He soon quit after he found a better paying job as a radiologist. And then after a few years he became a conductor in the MTA. Now he's the Gen. superintendent of traffic checking operations in the MTA making close to 200k a year. He had no parents and all his siblings refused to lend a hand.

[phil3kyuubi78]

@dlmw93

Beast... That's inspiring..

[strengthcamp]

@dlmw93 That is the REAL American Dream at its best.  You're father is awesome!

[malechauvinistxy]

WE ARE THE 1% WHO HAVE RECIEVED A STEROID INJECTION FROM GOVERNMENT!

[RcKis0]

Rofl SinisterSkip. tl;dr.

[VERKZOR]

Whats the intro song mate? i'd appreciate it.

[AcesfullKK]

All I got left in this world are my balls and my muscle and I don't break em for NO ONE!

[rmelgar9]

YO Elliot, what do you mean the 1 % ? are you making an analogy on occupied wall street ?

[fexem33]

I love these political and philosophical videos you make, and I'm looking forward for more in the future

[rmelgar9]

BARBEL , HELL YEAH !

[SinisterSkip]

But I'm going into too much detail. Elliot again you kick massive ass with your strongest version vids, training, diet, life principles etc. but seriously just put your political views aside of this or make a seperate channel for it. I think it does not belong on the "strengthcamp" channel.

[strengthcamp]

@SinisterSkip I didn't mention politics in this video... not once.

[SinisterSkip]

@strengthcamp

Occupy Wallstreet movement is very much a political economic movement, so yes you did.

[SinisterSkip]

And sure, I love the principle of own-responsibility, but some people need a hand. For instance, how you wanna pay for a 20.000$/year university study with poor parents? Work 3 jobs? Then there's no time left to study. Solution: Government lends you some money, you pay em back when you've gotten a real job, thanks to your education.

And how about "own responsibility" to the big banks. You know what would've happend? Many banks would've collapsed without tax payer money.

[strengthcamp]

@SinisterSkip 1. university study is not a "right" (nor do I think it's even necessary)

2. the banks should have collapsed in 08... cuz now their even bigger and when they do collapse (which is inevitable) it will be much, much harder!

[malechauvinistxy]

@strengthcamp if this is about the Wall Strreet protests then you are on the wrong side!!

you should be protesting WITH occupy Wall Street...OWS are complaining about the fact that government are in bed with government and have their guys in government fanding them treasury money...Tin Geithner, Paulson...all wall street revolving door with government....OWS are saying the same as you...let the banks fail and stop the unfair bonus payments(which they get from taxpayer moeny)

[strengthcamp]

@malechauvinistxy This is about building strength and muscle.

[malechauvinistxy]

@strengthcamp if you think about it is anything a "right"?..quite frankly I see everything as a power struggle for survival and dominance...so on the issue of (is education a right?) then technically its no more or less of a right than anything else...so therefore it falls into the category of, is the investment by government in university education beneficial to the country in the long run(in the same way schools are funded because it is beneficial long term)..but thats an entire debate

[BUK7550]

I like the lifting advice, but Elliot's politics are sub-moronic. I don't know about others, but the "strongest version" of myself isnt someone that would read a book written by Glenn Beck.

[strengthcamp]

@BUK7550 

[SinisterSkip]

Elliot I think your political views should be for another channel. I can really not get on your level with politics, at all, yet I love your other video's. I think it's something for another channel. You're not whiny if you say politicians are bought by big corporations and make legislation, not for the people, who the government should serve, but for big corporations. This is what's called an oligarchy: power to the elite, that (in case of corporations) have the biggest interest in raw profit.

[SinisterSkip]

@SinisterSkip

It's called a failed democracy. In a democracy, the government represent the people. Currently, they represent big corporations if you look at legislation. People at wallstreet don't beg to get money handed to them, they beg to get the government to serve the country, the people, not just big corporations and lobbygroups. Calling these people whiny I find just arrogant.

[SinisterSkip]

And before thinking I'm a democrat, let me state almost all of republicans AND democrats in congress are bought by big corporations. They all go to the same fundraisers where they ask the elite for millions of dollars for their massive campaigns, and what's the deal? The fundraisers want something back for it. More money. Who's the real boss? right.

[BA418]

this is a terrible comparison, you aren't STEALING your muscles. the banks are STEALING money.

[themrparkerman]

with all of the health problems in north america, more so the states.. i feel a good incentive for people to get in shape would be for the government to not tax organic foods, or just vegetables and meat in general... it would save the country money in the end with less spent on unpaid health care bills by lower income families who can only afford processed junk

[bluesgurugod]

Personally I admire lazy people more than anyone. The Dude would not abide with your philosophy.

Why go out and bust your ass when the banks are going to destroy your savings anyway?

Drink beer, go bowling and smoke reefers!

I'm a freakin' nihilist!

Believe me - it's exhausting!!

[dj2600]

Dude I like your page and "strength advice". But damn you turning into a jacked up Glenn Beck ... lol

[jagerhunter77]

1%ers!! Eliiot your a smart dude.

[de1987]

@bundle05 in Ontario (Canada) gastric bypass surgery is covered by our universal healthcare plan. If you're so fat you need surgery to keep you from getting fatter, everyone pays for it.

It is your responsibility as a citizen to be healthy and in shape, for the benefit of yourself first and foremost, but also for everyone!

[toxicinspector]

Awesome stuff Elliot. I'm apart of that 1%. :)

[ys1337]

i rather study architecture

[gunice]

Chuuuuuuurch!! (Snoops voice)

[samuils]

Oh Elliot Elliot, Ill just say this in short statement Agree 100% much love and respect for you buddy, keep on keeping on.

[ENAIRAMA1]

I am not a guy, but proud to be 1%. I am a 45 year old woman mom of 3 college kids that do sports. I am still fatty, but working very very hard. Doing tabatah now. Killer for fat!!! It made me a lot stronger, more energy, not so much muscle, but I want this to be a lifestyle.

[lamiasubs]

Very well said elliott. good work sir; keep it up :)

[aaron3299]

Great analogy.

[bundle05]

The comparison is flimsy.

My fitness (or anyone else's) doesn't come at the expense at others and I don't pay politicians to pass laws that make it difficult for others to become fit while unfairly giving me an advantage to get fitter.

Also, if I decide to stop working out and get fat or sluggish, people who aren't fit aren't forced to help me become fit again.

[bundle05]

@bundle05 ". . . expense of others" I meant to say.

[strengthcamp]

@bundle05 oh reeeeeally? if you live in America, YES you do pay politicians to pass laws that make it difficult for others to become fit (processed food subsidies and pharmaceutical lobbyists, to say the least). AND if you "get fat and sluggish", your dysfunction creates an environment where our politicians think it is EVERYONE'S responsibility to fit your medical bills!

[jkiley456]

@strengthcamp Elliott Hulse bringing facts to whiny babies one video at a time. But in all seriousness you are a true inspiration and show that its still possible to live the American dream as long as you are willing to work hard and pay your dues. Thank you for opening my eyes as well as so many others.

[strengthcamp]

@jkiley456 you got it brother! the only thing that you and i have control over is OURSELVES and the decisions WE choose to make. To concern yourself with the evils of others to the exclusion of your OWN responsibility makes you a derelict. Keep getting stronger!

[malechauvinistxy]

@strengthcamp whats your opinion on going on a low GI diet of things like fruits, vegetables as main sources of carbohydrates?..im just starting it now and want to get a few opinions if its a good idea.

also..is this video actually about the "occupy wall street" protests?..because if its about that then I think you are on the wrong side dude..the rich are the ones that get benefits from government(just look at the ban bailouts and near 0% credit they get)..everyone else gets chicken feed.

[malechauvinistxy]

its amazing how many "smart, hardworking, geniuses" you can find when you give them 0% credit and when their every bad move they make is bailed out by the taxpayer...more like a criminal fascist enterprise who have bought all politicians.

you should really start listening to people like TYT, Max Keiser, Webster Tarpley.

[malechauvinistxy]

@strengthcamp I think the analogy would be..the 1% did not work for their muscle like evryone else..they were given ROIDS!..and thats what people are pissed about.

[bundle05]

@strengthcamp You're kind of distorting my criticism.

Why are you equating taxpayers to lobbyist? Your examples only make the case towards what the OWS movement is all about.

Also, if someone runs into serious problems in this county, there is no significant contingency plan for them on the government's end, they are fucked. So I don't see how that is on the same level as giant multinational being bailed out either (which was the point of my original analogy).

[bundle05]

@bundle05 "serious medical problems" 

[harrisric128]

@strengthcamp EVERYTIME I have this conversation it goes right back to the laws that get passed. Politics shouldn't be a career... I have a lot more to say than that but Youtube has limited space>.< I should start a blog or something about that.

[KaelinSaint]

@bundle05

Look at the state of high school sports. Or how about Title IX? Both are government related, bureaucratic bullshit that limit the amount of competition, the number of opportunities for the most number of athletes to possibly improve themselves. It's not an exact comparison but it can be made to work.

[bigplayray09]

And they all said...  AMEN! AMEN!

[UltimateHibz]

Pursuit of life, liberty and.... muscle!

[horsepowersc]

Fantastic Bro!

[treverbettis]

The movement was set up by the super wealthy to blame the middle class for the lower classes problems. People who love power like warren buffet and Rockefeller.

[Z6LI]

nice bro

[UpalKashey]

LOL!

preach the mother%^% truth brother!
