I wanna leave 2018 behind with some fresh thoughts for you to hear, honestly I usually keep this stuff to myself because no one needs to really know. But I decided to shine some light on what’s been going on this year.. My intentions are that maybe some of you can relate in your own way and give you encouragement to continue your own journeys and not give up in them in the new year. I been through a lot of shit this year..I tore my quadriceps and biceps in the same incident taking away my ability to do what I love most: bodybuilding. Since then it has been a constant battle in my head with myself and what to do with my time. I don’t read self help books because i don’t believe in using someone else’s experience to solve my problems. I prefer figuring out life and solving life’s challenges my own way. That’s how I like to grow and learn. I tried listening to audio books but I don’t have the attention span there either. I got to a point where I was distracting myself from my problems for a while with drinking & smoking most every day.. but that wasn’t a solution it was just helping the time pass in a unhealthy way. I started hating the person that I was becoming. I saw the bridge between health & fitness and myself becoming further apart and that put me in a worse headspace. I started wondering if I would ever be able to run or home or swim or bodybuilding like I used too, my situation was looking grim. everyday I was losing muscle mass that I had worked so hard for years to gain. I stop talking to a lot of people. I lost interest in social media. I found out which friends really actually cared from the bottom of their hearts; The ones who were stubborn enough to keep checking in on me when I ignored them because of this depressing state of mind I was in. I had to cut out some shitty toxic friends too. However having all this happen to me it did something for me I never expected. It gave me an awakening—Thanks to the Downtime and reflecting, I came to realize there’s more important things in life then trying to win a bodybuilding trophy or having a massive set of biceps and some juicy pecs...

Von Moger lives in Los Angeles with Rex, his one-year-old Bull Terrier. A Bull Terrier is a very fitting dog for a bodybuilder, since despite only weighing 45-50 pounds, it has more muscle than any other breed, according to Animal Planet. Rex has his own Instagram account, where the pup is seen traveling to Gold’s Gym and being held by Arnold!

Von Moger is in recovery from a rock climbing accident in April 2018. He was rappelling down a cliff with his brothers when he lost his footing and his knee buckled. If you turn up the volume on this Instagram video, you can hear his knee pop. Squeamish people, be wary.

DONT TRY THIS! last night I had this crazy idea that me and @cbum_ should attempt a 400lb barbell curl. Was all fun and games until I tore my bicep. I really should have known better, I forgot to warm up properly and should have used #koalafreak pre from @staunch.nation instead of the stim free ? Bicep: Pretty sure it’s a Grade 2 tear going off the web and the symptoms. Can Take up to 3 weeks before I’ll get strength back. I’ll try and see a specialist and get their opinion on it too. Note: Learn from my stupid mistakes! You can see half the arm workout on my YouTube ch.

This isn’t the first injury that put Von Moger on the sidelines. In November 2017, Von Moger and fellow bodybuilder and YouTuber Chris Bumstead attempted a 400-pound bicep curl for a video stunt, resulting in Von Moger tearing his bicep. You can see him suffer the injury in this Instagram video.

First leg day after 1 year ? The weight is not important to me right now as I still haven’t got full ROM in my left knee. When my I can do each exercise pain free and full range then I will add some more weight. I am just incredibly grateful to be able to train my quads again ? #comebackcal #goldenmullet @vonmogercrew - VM swagger

excited to be in Vegas for the U.S premier of the #Bigger movie tomorrow! Can’t wait to share with you the story that turned bodybuilding into the sport it is today. I was excited when producer Steve Jones called me in Jan 2017 and asked me to play the role of #ArnoldSchwarzenegger. A role that came very natural to me as I looked up to him from day 1 when I first started lifting weights. October 12th ? Save the date and get ready for the incredible story of Joe & Ben Weider. The brothers who turned the fitness industry into what is is today.

Von Moger was first inspired to pursue bodybuilding after seeing Steve Reeves in Hercules, he told Men’s Health. After Hercules, he watched Pumping Iron and was immediately impressed by Arnold’s physique. It’s crazy to think he’s since played the iconic bodybuilder on the big screen.

“It was a huge honor. I did look up to him for a long time. He’s probably the best bodybuilder ever. He’s done so much for the sport,” Von Moger said. “Plus, I’m just a big fan of his from Day One. So to be able to play him in a film was a lot of fun. My main thing was to just do the best possible version I can of him. If I was going to play him, I just wanted to make sure I did it as accurately as I could.”
