Bradley Martyn shares behind the scenes information about his craziest viral stunts and most shocking injuries
In this clip, Bradley Martyn looks back at the origins of his greatest and most viral stunts – including an injury that nearly demolished his face. Check out the exclusive clip above!
Bradley Martyn is one of the biggest fitness influencers on the planet. But he didn’t start off that way. Like anyone, he had to make a name for himself – but part of that process was determining what kind of name he wanted to be known for. At the time, social media was new and growing rapidly. Bradley saw a path towards success using these tools – but at first he didn’t know what kind of content to post on the platform.
All of this changed after he posted an Instagram video showcasing himself jumping out of a pool and landing squarely on his feet. The video went viral – amassing him millions of views and a large number of followers. It was at that moment that Bradley Martyn realized that shocking stunts garnered massive attention. Or as Bradley put it, “people want to see wild stuff.”
Bradley Martyn’s Viral Stunts And Path To Success
Now that Bradley Martyn found a new focus for his social media platforms – he needed to come up with never before seen stunts to stay original. Bradley used a combination of his physical prowess and his fearless attitude to skyrocket his name into the fitness mainstream. This also meant risking serious injury. The closer to danger he genuinely looked – the more engagement he would receive.
Beyond his podcast and clothing brand, Bradley Martyn might be best known for his memorable videos lifting insane amounts of weight or, as seen quite often, lifting a large number of attractive women in unique ways.
Bradley himself even points out that lifting an adult woman isn’t too heavy compared to a heavy weightlifting day. But it looks shocking and has the sex appeal factor. So when he put those lifting videos together – they exploded in popularity.
Bradley can also be seen completing incredibly high or long jumps, often over other individuals laying on the ground. He completed his own version of the Milk Crate Challenge (back when that was a thing) and even gained the attention of mainstream headlines – claiming that he had “gentrified” the challenge trend.
The Danger Behind Bradley’ Martyn’s Stunts
But as noted above, the more dangerous the stunt became the more views and engagement his videos would receive. Sometimes this led to accidents and injury.
One of his most notable injuries came when he was lifting a young woman who was standing on a barbell plate. Essentially, she was balancing on the plat as Bradley was lifting it while laying on a weightlifting bench.
But this time, the woman was not able to keep her balance and slipped, causing her foot and the barbell plate to slam straight into his face and mouth. Bradley ultimately needed stitches – but luckily on the inside of his mouth. Bradley decided to release the video including the fail to show the other side of his stunts. Predictably, the fail and injury lead to even more engagement and views.
Beyond The Stunts: Using A Platform For Deeper Material
Bradley Martyn eventually used the followers he had gained through his incredible stunt videos to publish more detailed and deeper content. This included long form video on YouTube where he would speak candidly about his past traumas, including his father’s suicide, and share motivational tactics to help others who are suffering, lost, or in need.
This evolved into fully edited “day in the life” videos, comedy sketches, and eventually – his own podcast that has become one of Bradley Martyn’s biggest successes.
