Please read.?? #HUMPDAYMOTIVATION As a kid, I never liked having my shirt off in photos. I was bullied constantly. I had big buck teeth, glasses, a bird chest, and a sternum that stuck out and many people around me not so kindly reminded me every single damn day of just how ugly I was. Today I would happily walk naked thru Times Square with a big smile on my face (until they arrest me ?). I discovered the gym and my body just happened to grow into those big teeth that, along with my former “bird chest”, have been on the cover of magazines, on TV, hung up on walls, and seen by millions and millions of my followers everyday for inspiration. More importantly, I learned to love myself. I realized what happiness in life truly was, and regardless of other people’s opinions or hate, I’m blessed and have EVERY reason and more to smile each and everyday!

Joey regularly shares his story with his followers. Swoll’s timeline is a paradise for bodybuilding fans and avid readers alike. Joey shares food for thought through his posts which can change your perspective on many things.

Swoll’s big muscles aren’t just to show for, he can move big weights too. You’ll hardly ever see him perform exercises with a bad form which makes his videos good how-to guides.

We told you Joey can be a goof, didn’t we? How many other bodybuilders do you know who are comfortable making a fool of themselves? Swoll will keep you entertained with his workouts and funny videos. Joey is full of energy and isn’t a gym bro.

The Adventures of Joey Swoll

Do You Even Cheat, Bro?

PLEASE READ. ?? #thanksforbeingmydad Posting this #TBT because this truly is one of my favorite moments of my life that still gives me chills, and as my father heads into heart surgery next week, I want to ask all of you to please, please pray for him. You always hear people talk about idolizing some movie star, an athlete, social media celebrity, or some billionaire business mogul. NOT ME. My inspirations, my idols, MY HEROES, the ones who I look up to most in life and always will, are my parents and God. Period. Every time I see this video it reminds me of why I work so hard in the first place, and why the sleepless nights and sacrifices I’ve made and continue to make are more than worth it for moments like this. This was the second time in my life I’ve ever seen my father cry as he sat in the car for the first time. My father to me, to my family, and to many who’ve met him, is the greatest man alive. I truly hope that one day for my own family I can be 1/10 the father he is to us. About 15 years ago my father bought a brand new Chevrolet Impala which he immediately fell in love with. Not long after buying it, he was t-boned by a drunk driver that ran a red light totaling the car in the accident putting him in the hospital. The driver was a young kid with no insurance, no license, nothing. My dad lost the car, medical bills piled up, and soon after he lost his job too as the company moved overseas to “save money”. Since then for years he drove an old broke down beat up Chevy with no air conditioning and said, “if I ever win the lotto I’m getting another Impala. I loved that car”. And I mean he LOVED that car. So did I! I used to steal it at night to go to the gym while he slept for work at 4 AM! It drove him crazy! I told myself, when I become successful, not if, but WHEN, I’m buying my father that car. After years and years of hard work and sacrifice, I was able to give my father, the man I love and admire most in this world, exactly what he’s wanted for so long, his dream car. My hope is that all of you are able to do the same for your parents or someone you love one day. It truly is the best feeling, words can’t even describe it!

This video and the story behind it will make you fall in love with Joey Swoll. Swoll keeps surprising his family with gifts and experiences. Joey is a guy who thinks about everyone around him, his family, friends, and fans.

Joey Swoll preaches the importance of family and spending time with them. The video above is a reminder we all should have some fun family time. The kids surely would be stoked to have their ‘Swoll’ uncle play with me.

A couple which works out together stays together. Doing things together strengthens a relationship and Swoll practices this. Maybe it’s time you ask your girl to lift with you.

Do you include cheat meals in your diet?
