One thing that I found out when I recently injury my shoulder ice skating at 64. Since I could not lift, went from chest pressing, 150 x 10 to 30 x 3 with much pain. So, I ended up doing walks 2 to 3 times walking for 1 to 2 miles and shifted to more leg work lightly. I lost weight and kept muscle tone. It's been 3 months and I finally can walk up weights and not be in pain. It may take until the Spring to start making traction but yes, keep moving, hydrate with water, quality protein drinks, and natural non sugared drinks. Keep moving, do not give up and high fiber to keep dropping a deuce. Trust me, compacted waste is no joke. Peace & Love y'all.

I appreciate the info. I would agree 100% when I was in my 40s but, as an over 50 male, the things you're recommending aren't right for everyone. Intensity becomes difficult because of potential injury. Diet is important but gaining lean muscle after 55 is not easy, blood pressure, kidney problems, bowel problems, all can be affected by obsessing over protein. I speak from experience, consistency, yes but for me a full range of macros was essential, good carbs and fats are just as important, and too much protein can really stress an old body, and lighter weight with good form, for me much better as I'm aging.

I’m getting so much size at the moment, not lifting super heavy. I am 37, was morbidly obese my whole life. Took 4 years at 5’10 to get from 320lb to 175. I’m on trt, being fat kills your t levels, and I had a year of bulking up to 220, then cut 6 months to 175, now I’m bulking for a month and bulking while lean is amazing, you get to see your progress! Love this body building stuff.

at 62 and a former triathlete, I lost my way at age 50 with a knee injury and the onset of depression.
I struggle with the desire to return to the gym(I can't run anymore and cycling aggravates the knee -hence the depression) but I find your videos to be the most positive at motivation. it's a struggle and a journey that takes personal commitment.
looking forward to your next video.

First of all, I love your presentation style and your content.
Mitopure sounds fantastic! That is until you realize it costs $250/month (one order costs $125 and contains 30 gummies; but you have to take 2/day.
Couple that with the web site saying results don't start to appear until after 4 months of use. This means I have to drop $1000 before I MIGHT see results. Way out of my league.

Trying not to laugh so hard.
Anyone who spends over a minute stressing that it’s all about age and then in same breath states that this video has. Nothing to do with age, you lose any sense of credibility or reliability. Make up your mind and make sure the lies you tell are consistent and without self contradiction. This video is not it.

Sleep 7-9 hours Try that when you're over 50 (even IF you do everything exactly right. Body chemistry/brain chemistry changes. And lift heavy Yea, I did - and ruined my joints as a result. Opposite is actually true - lift light but for reps, or switch to full on body weight workouts. Save your joints and thus ability to workout for life.

I'm 70amd have not been able to achieve a BFI of less than 20%. I have been part of a mobility study through our local university for the past two years. The researchers explained that only one in 5000 participants have a BMI of less than 20%. They expressed concern to me if you attempt to go below the 20% BMI. anyone's thoughts

I'm not the strongest in my gym. I just make sure I work to failure with the heaviest weights I can harder than anyone else there (6 t0 10 reps. I see far too many going through the motions. 65 and going strong. I keep in mind you almost always can try harder. So I keep in mind if this was my last day did I give everything I had

One question in previous videos for over 40’s you suggested:
1. 2 sets of 8/12 reps twice a week & then progress when you can do 12 reps each set.
2. Today are you saying 3 sets of 8/12 reps twice a week - & then progress when you can do 12 reps on all

1. Eat more protein - 0. 7 to 1. 0 gram per pound of body weight.
2. Lift heavy weights - say 3 x 8/12 reps & progress.
3. Get 7/9 hours sleep a night.
4. Keep your body moving - stay active.
5. Maintain a healthy body fat level - around 15%.

heavy lifting is risky - the heavier you go the more strain on joints & tendons - I have had shoulder pain for months now probably because I lifted too heavy - go a bit lighter with higher reps

Why does the graph in the study that showed vegan vs. non-vegan protein sources show HUMAN MUSCLE as a protein source for consumption Who knew the cannibals had a Gold's Gym deep in the jungle!

Did you see the guy that dropped a barbell on his chest. it was in a gym in Brazil. No spotter. Looked like an older guy. By standers got the bar off him quickly. But he died anyway

I thought it takes several weeks before you start to lose muscle, but can be maintained by hitting the gym minimum of once per week (Full body, close to failure)

I'm 74. Because of joint issues (shoulder and wrist) I've had to abandon nearly all free weights. Even with machines I have to avoid heavier weights
