LONG TIME NO SEE | LIFE UPDATE 

It takes balls to make a video like this. Rooting for you my brother stay positive youve gotten this far you can get through this

It's been a few years since I stopped following CVM on RU-vid, but I used to watch his videos every day when I was at the gym for motivation. My heart just sank when I found out his misfortunes the past few years. Holy cow man! Don't ever give up and be an example to others going through the same thing. RIP little brother.

As a father myself, your purpose in life now is to lead as an example. Be the best father possible and show that little boy what to do. Your children are your focus and place for saturation. Good luck in this new journey. Glad to hear you speak of your son and the new path to him.

was going to rip this video but my heart breaks for this dude. i’m about to lose my mom to stage four cancer and this hit me so hard in the feels. i lost my left leg two years ago and was an opiate addict for years. i’ve since rebounded and am better than ever physically and mentally. sending so much love to this dude. if i can do it, calum can do it.

Callum. You need to be in your child’a life. Seeing him happy and having fun will fill you with happiness you couldn’t think you could ever feel again !! Trust me

Welcome back brother. Hope you the best in this part of the journey.

LOSEING FAMILY, FRIENDS IS HARDEST THINGS IN THIS LIFETIME ,HANG TOUGH

What an absolute W for Calum. Massive respect for you for acknowledging your son and his needs for a father figure.

Bro you’ve changed a lot since the last time I saw you in a video. You may have lost your strength, but you seem stronger. More mature, more rounded more of a father figure to many youngsters out there. Props to you for making it through all the things you have🙏🏽.

Calum, the tragic loss of your brother will be a life long journey. I speak from experience. Talk about him as often & as much as you like. He will forever be missed and it may feel like you lost a limb. It's okay, the process is forever. Sending you lots of love and prayers from Florida, USA.

CVM you inspired a generation of young men to be fit and chase their dreams , no one can ever take that from you, and you’ll be famous to some of us

Be with your son. It will make him happy and it will bring you happiness. Best of luck, big man.

I’m almost 2 yrs clean . I almost lost my little boy . Your story will inspire so many Calum. Don’t quit brother ! Go get that little boy of yours !!! ❤️❤️‍🩹

How much this man has grown is inconceivable. Wish you well.

Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about, be kind! Not everyone can talk about it, but you do, so respect to that. Takes heart and guts to come forward. Stay healthy, friend! I did Ayahuasca and a couple of weeks ago Bufo ceremony. The bufo experience was mindblowing! I could recommend this to everyone... Especially if you are not feeling good and need help.

“Faith, that’s all we can have”. Yes Calum. A lot of love and faith and prayers for you brother. Happy to see you doing well.

Calum, I’m just happy you’re still with us. You changed my life years ago. Take as much time as you need. Just want to see you happy.

The amount of strength it takes to be this vulnerable is something else. Calum man, best of luck and all the blessings to you in this new journey of life.

Even with injuries and mental health issues, you’ve never been that strong. You’re inspiring, keep up!

Being a good father is one of the most rewarding things you can do in life. Well wishes, brother!

I am so Proud of you Calum. I believed in you as a person throughout all these times the past few years. I always felt you're gonna find an inner strength to find a way to defeat your demons and have a great life, motivate others with your story and be a great father to your son. All my continued prayers.

Man this one gave me goosebumps much love and respect to my fellow Aussie Calum. R.I.P Eddie von-moger❤

We love you, brother. Stay strong. You are still an inspiration for many souls all around the world

Disregarding the opinions of others may come with relative ease, but the true battle lies in the acceptance of our own selves. But once you do, it is as though your eyes open afresh, the world regains its vibrancy, and your purpose crystallizes with newfound clarity.

Been exactly where you are sir…I’m 43 and just keep repeating your message to yourself daily…you are impacting many people positively by sharing your comeback. Cheers mate

You’ve no idea how much me, and others, needed to hear this. Thank you C. And congratulations on choosing your son for the next chapter. I appreciate you dude.

Hi Calum. I’m sure I can speak for all of the other viewers when I say that we all really appreciate the update, and that we are all rooting for you! You’ve been through so much, so the fact that you are still here at all is incredible. Physiques come and go - in reality, it is who we are inside that matters the most. I hope that as you continue to reflect on the events of the last few years, you’ll start to feel more confident again by acknowledging the strength you’ve demonstrated: you are as much of an inspiration now as you ever were in the past. Keep going, you’ve got this! ❤

The fact that you’ve realized that being a dad is the biggest blessing that you’ve been given throughout all of your life speaks immensely on the great man you’re becoming, Cal. From bodybuilding to fatherhood, thank you for bringing us along the ride brother. The best days of your life are still ahead! I’m excited to hear from you again! 🙏🏻

Glad to see your back brother, I’ve looked up to you since I was a little kid and there was nothing sadder then seeing you deal with life’s hardships 😞 . We are happy to have you back and will stay supporting you throughout your journey ! You’re 1 of the OG fitness influencers that changed many life’s and had many lads looking up to you!

We’re on your team big brother! You got me into fitness years ago! Keep getting 1% better each and every day; we can all climb that mountain once more

I can relate to your struggles Calum. Over the course of 10 years I lost my Mother to cancer, my Father to liver failure, and both my only surviving Grandmother and Uncle. The only close family I have left is my Sister and 7 year-old Niece. For years I was self-destructive and suicidal. Only when I started taking care of myself physically as well as mentally was I able to fully recover. I gained 20 pounds over the course of a year in the gym and I’m happier than I’ve ever been. You can and will bounce back Calum, you just need to be patient with yourself. Love you man 👍🏻💪🏻

I'll never stop rooting for people who never stay down. Life has struggles, but we all must get up, keep our chest/head high.. and keep going. Great job man, for simply choosing to get up. Hopefully you inspire your followers, especially the young ones, to do the same

Calum, I am so encouraged, and inspired by these truly deep and valuable life lessons. I have also recently become a father, and although it is not easy, it is full of utter JOY! To find purpose in lifting others up feels so right and I believe we were designed for it. Surely we were made to live for not just ourselves, surely others' victories can be ours too, and surely we can bare others' burdens and sorrows with them. Find your happiness in something that can not be taken away, find it in the one who created you and who died for you. Remember there is power in his name, and his name is JESUS!

Having lost my brother last year, I can all but sympathise, you got this and we're all proud of you. Keep growing, keep moving forward, we all need you here bro 🤙 There's no right or wrong way to grieve, it'll take time but you will get there.

Ever since we have seen you come into the fitness world you have always been at such a high level that quite frankly the vast majority of us could never relate to. This side of you now with the scars, depression, and other personal issues are far more relatable to the every day person that has looked up to you for nearly the last decade. I truly believe your outreach now will be so much more impactful. Keep pushing. You are more than good enough! 💪🏼

Stay strong, sending love and prayers from the uk 🙏

you're not just an influencer now, you will be a living testimony to not give up on life and start all over again🙏 take it easy mate 💪

We love you Calum and we're proud of you and how far you have come. You might not think that you have made progress (with the pain and, as you say, downsizing) but we see you much you have progressed as a person.

There has been no greater joy in my life than being a father. It brings a fulfillment not previously known. Good luck to you Calum. YOU GOT THIS!

Growing as a person. I also have a 2 year old girl and fighting with my ex over custody. It is truly great being able to be a father figure, passing on your values. I am happy alone and you bring me kind of to tears as I think everyone has struggles but it makes you so empathic I can relate to. True goat.

Lifting weights at the gym is easy.. but lifting the weight of all the misfortunes life has thrown at you the past couple of years and making it through shows true strength. Stay strong, you got this 💪

You got this! We all have setbacks, it’s the comeback you are remembered for!

The amount you have gone through is insane and heart breaking. You are very inspiring. I looked up to you back then, and i look up to you now. Legend #koalafreak

The dad part, is absolutely what solidified my forever respect for you, no matter what your body is like.

Calum the same physical strength that you’ve been blessed with is still in you. The only thing you lost besides your brother are the fake friends and people that never really cared about you. Everyone that stayed is there for you 100%. A true man has accountability and realizes his mistakes and moves forward the wiser. You have been baptized through fire!!! I’m sure anything you do from now on will be stable and successful. We’ve all been through some rough times in our lives. Peace be with my friend.

My level of respect for you has gone up immensely! You have a purpose, and you continue to motivate and influence people, proud of you Calum! ✊

We are all so happy you are still here Calum. We all love you so much! There’s no one else like you.

Inspirational mate. You’ve truly been through so many obstacles and lows, and this is exactly the attitude in how to pick yourself back up. That is all we can do. Stay strong 💪

Love you Cal, it’s good to hear from you and you are very bold for telling us how you feel. Takes a real man to express their feelings. 💯❤️

You are my inspiration during 2015-2019 you motivated me to keep going. I’m glad you’re back and glad your on your journey. You’re the man Calum, glad your back.

Been watching you for the past 8 years and when I say you’re an inspiration,it’s an understatement. Most people who find fitness as their outlet make it into their lifestyle. Not knowing that if that is ever taken from them the impact it will make on their well being. I’m 28 and since I was 20 I’ve had chronic pain. I’ve had a hernia surgery, A/C joint surgery and issues with most of my joints. Watching you on a public forum going through all these same injuries plus some has been a motivation to never stop trying, never give up, it’s only over when you quit. Your purpose whether you see it or not was to show thousands of other people who have experienced these same traumas what resilience really is. You’re the most open, vulnerable body builder/ influencer there is. You’re entire life is out on display for others to see and that says everything about your character. Nobody gave you a play book to life when you got the opportunity to come to the states and live a life 99.9% people don’t. Life is a constant lesson, as much as you’re growing and learning you have literally given thousands of people hope and belief because of your trials and tribulations. You are and will always be an inspiration. Love you brother, keep on keeping on

Sometimes our own purpose is to help others. You do that for us. You help motivate us and help us become better. ❤️ Come Back King

It’s sad seeing everything you been thru, I remember watching you back in 2016-17 when I was in high school and you got me into the gym and changed my life. Calum you have so many fans and we all love you and are all rooting for you on this amazing comeback. Remember there’s a reason why the rear view is way smaller then the windshield.❤

Keep working on yourself! Keep posting! we’re with you! Team Von Moger!!! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 You’re more than your muscles!! You have a lot to share!!! 💚

BROTHER THE MOMENT WE REALIZE, UNDERSTAND AND ACCEPT BEING REAL TOWARD OURSELVES AND NOT LIVING LIFE TO PLEASE OTHER ESPECIALLY FOR WHAT THEY MAY OR MAY NOT THINK OF US , IS THE DAY WE START TO SEE AND FEEL THE JOY OF JUST BEING OURSELF. RESPECT TO YOU FOR THE STEPS YOU'RE TAKING TO FIND YOUR TRUE SELF. ONE LOVE FROM GUYANA

Man you've gone through a lot last several years but props to you for standing tall and facing it as best you can. Your 3 year old son needs you and it'll give you so much love and satisfaction. I have a 9 month old daughter and nothing has given me a greater joy in life than being her Dad. I hope you find the same feeling I'm sure you will. Best wishes to you big guy.

Huge love and respect man. Kids are the best “why’s” for why we’re put on this earth. Wishing you the best dude.

Calum was a huge influence on my Brother and I to get into the gym. seeing him suffer all these years was heartbreaking. we always talked about him making another come back, and here he is! ❤

Faith is everything, and Calum just proved it. your comeback story will help and elevate so many people arround the world suffering in silence, wish you all the best, whatever you think you are you are still rocking despite all you went trought, Calum Von Moger is Calum Von Moge and you have and always will have the support of the bodybuilding community. Bless you

Sorry to hear about your brother, that's never easy. I miss your motivation. You helped me when I was starting to work out, I copied any of the workouts you showed and saw great gains because of it. I'm older now and everything hurts, way less energy and drive. Maybe show work outs that you can do and that helps you get stronger and work through your weaknesses. Stay strong brother, hope to see more from you soon.

Since when I saw Mad desire, I became a big fan of you. Calum, I believe you can get back a happy life and turn the tables!!! I want to see you on a stage again... not for Ego, but for the Victory for you as a Human being. Much love brother!! Thank you. From Brazil !! 🇧🇷

You’ve helped and motivated thousands of people around the world brother, me included. I feel your pain brother and thank you for helping me to start my fitness journey many years ago ❤

As a father of a 2yr. It is crucial for you to be there for your son. Once you hold him again you will feel a love like no other in the world! He is a part of you and if anything he is the #1 reason to go back. He will give you a complete whole new meaning to live and work harder. ❤️💪

Welcome back Calum, we truly missed you. God bless you

You’re gonna find your spot in the world again bro. You’re too focused and too determined not to. You’ve overcome so much shit man and you’ve come too far to stop fighting now. Fuck what anybody else thinks bro ‘cause you still have plenty of people out here pulling for you. Keep grinding and keep putting in that work. You’ll get there!✊🏼

Mate, you've always had much more to offer than just your physique, amazing as it is. You've always inspired me through everything you do. Depression is the toughest thing to battle as many people think it's not real because you can't see anything physically wrong. You even doubt it yourself. But once again you inspire me with putting yourself out there for us to draw energy from. Whatever people want to say, you truly are a legend.

So glad to hear from you brother. We are here for you, prayers have been sent.

Damn this made me tear up. Showing vulnerability and excepting who you are and getting through adversity is truly inspiring! Keep going mate, I wish you the best!

You inspired so many young men to get into fitness and now you're inspiring men to keep going and fight and finding a purpose. Your purpose is to inspire others to never give up. That is the most important thing you'll ever do

Everyone loves a comeback story, let's gooooo! Please keep this coming, we're waiting for a part 2 for Calum 2.0

Hang in there bro. I can’t imagine losing a sibling. But you’ve always been an inspiration for me. I’m 50 but working out trying to stay positive and get in the CVM physique. Thank you for all you do and you’re inspiring more than you know. You got a friend in Texas

Bem vindo de volta Calum, foi um longo tempo sem saber de notícias de você, você me ensinou muito sobre musculação nos meus primeiros anos de academia. Conheci muitos brasileiros que também aprenderam com você e te admiram. Se um dia pretender voltar para o Brasil, saiba que será muito bem recebido 🇧🇷

The Beast is back! Bro you motivated millions and now you gonna motivate even more people with your comeback! This is the prove that anything is possible if you push yourself! Let go brother happy you are back! 💪🏼

We love you calum keep going, there is light at the end. God tests whom he loves

As an addict and someone who uses the gym to escape the constant desire of using, I felt this. Callum your on a life long journey to recover. I wish you the best and support your journey for a healthier you (especially mentally). I could never imagine blowing up famous like you did. Keeping it together with all eyes on you is hard. Temptation gets the best of us all at times in our life. Keep fighting and recover stronger than before!

He has shifted his focus and trusted in his strength to get to where he is now. We all want to see you succeed and be better, healthier, and find stability. We all love you and we’re all rooting for you!

The resilience and strength you have is amazing mate. A battler through and through, looking forward to this new journey!

Great video my guy I'm so sorry about your brother that is the hardest loss ❤ lots of people need to hear this from someone like you, it helps people to know that everyone is going through something and wants to know their place in this crazy world. We all have a place and a purpose just keep pushing ❤

As someone who also suffers from mental health issues. The gym has been a huge help to me and I think it's super bad ass of you to make a video like this. Us bodybuilding fans need to keep in mind that mental fitness matters as well. 🔥🤘

Keep head up man life is sent to test us u will come out the other end a better stronger version of yourself ....

You're a champion for doing this. Your words mean more than you will ever know mate. All the best to you sincerely

Don't ever give up hope Calum. WE WILL SEE. There was a farmer long time ago, whose horse escaped one day. All the people were feeling sorry for him, but all he said was "We will see". A week later the horse came back with 2 other horses in tow. All the people were feeling happy for the man and how he now has 3 horses. The man only said "We will see". A month later, his son broke his leg, trying to ride one of the horses. All the people were once again feeling sorry for the man. The man once again said "We will see". A week later, a war broke out and his son was not drafted, because of his broken leg.. So the moral of the story is, you don't know what life has in store for you. We will see.

Brother you are an inspiration. You have changed lives. Saved lives. Effected so many men over the years. Always transparent. Honest. Even in hard times. Don't ever let you mind or doubts tell you that you are any less of an inspiration or help to the community and guys like me. You ARE amazing as you are right now. I too lost my younger brother 2 Years ago now. And was so lost for a while. And just now have gotten myself feeling a purpose again and pushing forward. Keep your head up. Your in our prayers. Excited to see all the new things to come with you. In time you will grow your sons relationship as well. Don't let the negative thoughts take hold. Take captive every thought. Every second. Truly , truly you inspire so many more than you think. Cheers.

hang in there Calum - we need ppl like you to motivate us . thank you for doing what your doing . glad to see you again

you're a G Calum, stay strong brother!

You’ve been an inspiration for me since I was 13 years old, I’m 21 now. It’s been heartbreaking watching what has happened to you over the years but it’s also been extremely inspiring watching you build yourself back up over and over again. You made mistakes and that’s okay you’re human , we all make mistakes and go into dark places. But youre a great guy with a strong heart and I know you’ll find a way to be happy and healthy again and be able to inspire more people. I’m rooting for you and wish nothing but the best for you. I can’t wait to see the next chapter in your life. Keep your head high and push forward knowing that you have people that support you and believe in you. Remember, god challenges his strongest soldiers to make them even stronger, knowing they can handle it.

Stay strong Calum. This video really made me emotional because I can empathize with you and your situation. Im so happy that you took this opportunity to open up and share more of your story. We will always be your fans we love you bro. Stay strong and keep pushing, your journey still has a long road to run. The best is yet to come. All the best🙏

I am honestly kind of sad that we will never see the true potential we all believed he had on a bodybuilding stage, but there is more to life and rooting for Cal!

I only recently started watching Calum’s stuff but I’m now fully convinced he is a man’s man. Takes a lot of guts to admit youre struggling or been struggling. I know I’m a new fan but I think I speak for all of us when I say we got you, Calum. You’ll make it through this, man. I know it

Sometimes life doesn’t make sense. Sometimes there is no good reason for the events that take place. But most times, you’ll realize it will all make sense for a much better reason, if you’re patient enough to wait. Much love from india and huge fan of you, waiting for your massive comeback💪🏻 ❤ Prayers🙏🏻

We love you Calum. Rip to your brother! Yes be more in your son life he will bring out the best in you ❤️🙏🏻

It's amazing to see him do way better and recovering. But it's also sad that he had everything to make it and now it seems to be gone. His body was something 99.9% of people will never have in their lives no matter what they do, he had charisma and everybody liked and admired him. But apparently he didn't have anyone close to him that cared enough to save him. Wish him the best.

This is the best video I’ve seen him make. God bless you. U got this. Hang in there

You can tell he is really struggling talking but still pushes through. Happy to see him get those demons behind him. God bless

We're all here for your comeback cal, keep going

You’ve Always been a role model to many! Time for you to look after yourself to heal and recover. Much Love & Respect. Your Fans from New Zealand🙌🏽💙

я из России и очень рад, что ты вернулся обновлённым духовно! Поддерживаю, что нашёл смысл в жизни в своём сыне

Rooting for you Calum. Takes a lot to put yourself out there like that. Truly hope that you can live a happy and peaceful life after everything you’ve went through. Cheers.

Bro the amount of strength and courage to speak out like this and your vulnerability just shows how strong you really are. Thank you for making this your videos have helped myself and many others tremendously ❤️

We are all here for you! Great to see you back! Good bless you 🙏💪
