This Obese Man Signed Up For A Bodybuilding Show…😳💪
Simon Lafontant committed to entering a bodybuilding show before his transformation began. BoltMotivation's retelling follows the training and difficult days between that promise and the Summer Shredding stage, supplying the clips channel's most-watched new upload at roughly half a million views.
In the comments, viewers keep returning to the goal itself: deciding to enter before knowing how far he could go. Several focus on the persistence involved, while one draws a comparison with David Goggins, who also appears in a separate upload about finishing the storm-soaked Moab 240.
Seven uploads made for a characteristically varied week. BoltMotivation repackages other people's footage and stories with commentary, and this batch stretches from Veritasium's Derek Muller testing real spider silk at a climbing gym to Josh Nalley's daily practice of playing dead, which caught the attention of CSI: Vegas. The newest wine clip recounts an RTBF team's experiment: disguising a cheap supermarket bottle as "Château Colombier" and entering it in a competition. It is already the busiest of the week's releases in daily views.
The channel's main source of momentum, though, is an earlier gaming reunion. "The Odds Of This Are INSANE…🤯❤️" recounts a streamer encountering a high school friend in a random lobby after years without contact. It has passed 30 million views and continues to draw far more daily viewing than the new releases.
Subscribers increased over the week, although daily channel views are running below their usual level. GJShortz had a particularly large weekly audience among nearby clips channels; BoltMotivation's weekly viewing was close to More Niko's. And the lifetime landmark that was approaching in September is now behind it: BoltMotivation has passed five billion views.
