I am 40 yrs old and going harder than I was in my 20’s. There was a long period of destruction in my 30’s and a lot of lost time I am making up for, but I have goals to reach and I won’t let age hinder my progression…
same story for me.
Check out this interview with Stan… it’s my fav

Keep going Nicholas, I believe in you!
Same story here 👋
I feel I wrote this post that's how much I can relate ,
During my 30's I did a heavy duty program and became 3x stronger. Now in my 50's I do a more balanced Robby Robinson program heavy/light rotation. I will be doing the Tampa Universe Show in September Grand Masters 50+ division. We are blessed to have 25+ years of this gift. It's like having 3 healthy lives in one. This all begins with a choice that turns into a clean lifestyle.
Turning 46 August 24 and feeling young and strong mentally and physically. Listening to Mike and stan is truly informative! Thanks guy's.
Aug 24 here too hell ya brother
must suck being Stan... all that strength and steroids, and Mike blows him away all natural baby
@@outdoorcasey one more day brother!
Me too my friend 46 and I train smarter not harder than I did in my twenty's and eat better and look after myself more.maybe it's the older age type thing
@@paulbaker9434 perhaps but I must admit it's the better way to go about one's well being! Less injuries, looking great for said age especially when compared to others who are just as old and so on and so on.
I'm 60 now and have been through catastrophic illness. Bone marrow loss in both tibial bones. Advance degenerative disk disease. Having 3 back surgeries resulting in titanium rods from my s1 to t-11. And a cage on my C-4 and C-5. . Yet at 60 I stayed in the gym and lift around my debilitating injuries to look as good or better than most 30 year old people. Not to mention the reduced pain from lifting. I hope at 80 I will be still in there. My rep range is 8 reps to 15 to 20 depending on my stage of training. My max I use a 3 rep max. Never a 1 rep max to prevent injuries. At my age I have to take an HRT. BUT it works and allows me to maintain my lean muscle mass.
This was simply a magnificent discussion and it's what I needed to stay motivated with my 59th birthday coming up in November I have been going back into training and I needed to hear every single thing they just said to keep my head level and not burn myself out. Looking forward to part two regarding the nutrition that is really important as you get older. Thanks guys!
This is gold. I’m 48 and I feel every bit of this. I have no intention of stopping. The views on this vid are not indicative of its quality. So often, real wisdom is overlooked by the over eager. I guess you only really get there in time.
Awesome and informative show !!! First time catching this show. I have been training for over 40 years, I’m 55,will be 56 in early 2023….i competed naturally in my early 20 s and then again in my early 30s and then went on gear in 2001 at 34 years old and competed consistently from 2001 to 2010 at a National level .
All these years i have been working in the construction industry since i was 18 . My Mentality was to be the hardest worker in the gym as well as on the construction job site . If i wasn’t sore for 5 days after training legs i felt i didn’t train hard enough, same for other body parts . The worst part was looking back i probably was under eating by 1,500. Calories if not more .
Since turning 50, i have had a few surgeries due to injuries, I’m sure a combination of working and training real hard . I have modified my training some with the goal of longevity, while still improving.
I always s try to eat well but as I’ve gotten older my appetite has dropped quite a bit as well as my taste for certain foods . I’m looking forward to watching the nutritional based show .
Keep up the great shows
Stan & Mike are literally my go to guys for health & fitness. Stan for the science backed nutrition & training information & mike for training principles, exercise selection & technique. They are both at the pinnacle of what they do. Learning from the best this information is gold. Keep it up!
legends we're blessed to learn from.

Ni discussion on PEDs, that’s what helps these 2 out with aging the most but its never discussed
100% TRUTH!!!
Total frauds!
007
Gear allows ppl to do things they otherwise wouldn't be able to do as a natty, so yes. Nattys cannot take advice on longevity by gear users.
Thank you stan and Mike . I'm 61 and I look up to you guys as the true ones....
right? Mike said we don't need testosterone to build muscle. He's a really smart guy.
Started hitting it again 2 years ago and now at 51 my arms are bigger than they have ever been. Look a lot better in a t-shirt these days. You guys are awesome and give me the additional drive to keep it up!
Man!! what a talk! thank you so much for sharing all this experience and knowledge. It was awesome and I get to watch it again and again!
I'm 44 with a two year old girl and a baby girl on the way so I'm in this game to keep strong and resilient so I can be active and involved in my girl's lives! Also, I'm doing this to be an example for the next generation so they can do the same if not better. Like EliteFTS says, Live, Learn, and Pass On!
I could listen to Stan all day
This is fanfreakintastic! I will be rewatching this video many times picking up little nuggets each time. Thank you both!
Mike is on 500 test, Deca 200mg and Anavar on and off. He looks like he is hitting it hard in this video. You do not stay "full" looking like this without higher doses of gear.
Had to go down quite far to find somebody that understands that a lot of this is BS. If you look like that and still claim to be natural, only fools believe you.
@@lekkerpruven887 most people are ignorant to what it takes to look like this. Diet, Rest, Weights and Gear/PEDs at any age. They make there money off from an ignorant general public 👍
Stan is such a wealth of knowledge

He sure is which is why I find it confusing he has a pathological bull shitter on!!!!!!
Everyone knows Mike's a joke
🙄
also lies
@@ryanm9565 about ?
@@anth2290 oh my bad I meant Mike O'Hearn
Stan admitted taking steriods and difficult gear, Mike o Hearn hasn't I would never buy anything from Mike o Hearn. When you lie about a pre workout can make you look a certain way.
Yess!!!!! I've been waiting for this one. I've learned so much from these legends.
Hands down my favorite podcast at the moment. So much knowledge, philosophy and experience. I also like how it’s under an hour. Some of these podcast out there are getting too long for me 2-3 hours lol.
Also Mike, I normally listen on Spotify but I wanted to come on here after hearing the episode with you and CT. Just wanted to say I got nasty with the weights today.
I’m 52 next month and I’ve never trained harder or heavier than this past year. A few injuries from pushing the limit but rehabilitating them through weightlifting. Five days a week. Never approached what I’m doing now before.
I’m 58. I do resistance training 5 days a week including 2 leg days. At 16 I weighed 70 kg and today I’m 72 kg. I was a chronic runner until I got into resistance training 10 years ago. Injuries slowed my muscle gains due to a gung ho attitude. I’m more knowledgeable and wiser now and much more careful in training. I train now in the RIR of 0-2. I log all workouts. 10-20 sets per muscle group weekly. Nowadays I lift up to 15 reps per set and then increase the weight.
I’m a 46 year old woman and let me tell you everything is way easier now than it was when I was younger. I never could get the muscularity and leanest I get now. I started tracking my calories because I’m prepping for a show and I must’ve been eating around 3,000 a day before my diet because I’m eating “very little” and I am clocking around 2,000 a day (I always have visible abs even when not dieting) In the past when I was in my late teens and early 20s I would have to keep my calories around 1500 just to look average and I was working out like crazy. I always looked chunky. I don’t know if it’s a hormonal shift or what but I’m thrilled by it. Now if my face would just match my body I’d be all set 😂😭
Edit - Mona is a queen I can relate to the better in my 40s than in my 20s. I had my two kids in my 20s they are adults now that hit the gym regularly - can’t wait to see Titan grow up much love to your beautiful family Mike 😊😊😊
Stan is the best . He always give audience so much information. He doesn’t give much grey area information. Always detailed
Mike 25 more years and seeing your videos would make me so happy. I’m ready for it!
Appreciate big Stans knowledge but there ain’t no decline with me yet as a lifetime natural at 53 and I’m still improving . It is my guesstimate that as a natural one can expect their prime to be around 55 and keeping it till 60 and then managing a possible decline through to seventies onwards . Would love to hear Mikes thoughts on his experience with his improvements . Two of the best on TH-cam ! 💪👊
I'm 73, today, my tendons were burnt, so, that was enough. They were fine, soon after. Off to the sauna and pool.

This is the knowledge I need! I am well over fifty and I know I can keep my physique at a high level. I am eating good, resting and recovering. I get much better sleep these days 😴.
If you are a lifetime lifter and you are stronger and have more muscle in your 50s than in your let’s say late 20s we all know the reason why. Let’s stop the lying here
These guys look awesome in their 50s...especially being natural

I couldn’t lift sh!t when I was 20. I didn’t even bench 315 until around that time. I’m hitting 405 for a double now at the age of 32.
U both don’t quit!!! So that I don’t quit! 😄✌🏻
i'm 67, female bodybuilder. My legs and glutes are better than when i competed in the late 80's early 90's. I challenge myself by saying 5 lb increases are easy...I did 65 db rows strict for 4 reps and a couple squeezes! I was happy. Next time I know it will be easy an so on...I'm 5 feet about 118 120. The toughest are my lower abs. Always have been. but it's all a degree right. I'm so happy with my training... my body fat is probably about 12% it's pretty low but I still have just enough fat to be healthy.
Wow, fantastic chat guys. I've learned so much from you both.
Mike! More Stan please. I’m gonna watch all of these.
Love these discussions 🙌🏻🙌🏻 especially with 2 knowledgeable legends
It’s insane what the body can do, especially with genetic components. Mike just keeps getting stronger and better with age! He’s like a Greek god.
yes hes totally natural too can you believe it?
@@ryanm9565 that’s what he says!
I’m 40 years old I’m stronger than I’ve ever been. I didn’t start lifting heavy until about 2016… Didn’t get into Delete level heavy until 2018… Now I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been in the 405 pounds quite 600 pound dead lift 365 pound bench press.
🤷🏻♂️ nobody believes that I’m 40 years old I have two grown kids in college. Haha
And I am still natty. Always have been. Though I understand that not everybody goes that route… Or can achieve these things at a natty level. No hate
At 56 I was going hard,lifting Oly also powerlifting. Unfortunately I incurred some disc herniations along with torn hip labrum. Now at 61 I am told by doctor's to forget lifting, to basically take Cortizone shots,therapy and be satisfied. Just seems wrong to me,there has to be a bettet way
This was a great vidio love this information
Im almost 53. I have 22inch arms and squat 600 + lbs on the machine for reps. I train the same as I did when i was younger, just twice as hard
Yeah right bro
@@justintuttle137 Youre disbelieve is flattering and sad at the same time because youre unable to understand what real grinding actually embodies . Try it sometime instead of trolling behind a screen soyboy or leave the lifting to the Alpha males
11:44 golden advice
im still waiting 4 milos to b done with his giant set its been 3 days
Great knowledge!Diet.two legend's👏👏👏
Can’t wait for the next one!
I'm really curious about either one of these guys' opinions on Matt Wennings' style of training. Search is the Wenning warm-ups. I know it's a warm up, but is it not reaching a level to stimulate muscle because it's usually done at a 4 RPE. Also the workouts rotate conjugate style so you don't really do the same lifts it's a lot of variations but weekly
Mike is nr 1
In regards to the 12 set group vs. the 20 set group. Yes, they’ll make progress at about the same rate, but the 20 set group will make progress LONGER.
I am calling Sin City Iron today. I need a little help on the amount of weight and rep ranges I can use to make improvements to my physique. I am looking to increase my strength and get my body fat down.
Best duo ever. So great.
Priceless! 🙌🏻
learn so much from this..
Turned 40 and was as strong as a bull. Thought I was invincible. At 40.5 shit started breaking down and has been ever since.
Great content
62 years of age i work out 2 times a week i do full body at 5 sets of 20 and it seems to work my arms are 17 1/2 inches' chest is 48 inches' feel great but not as good as i did in my 30s and fat loss is harder to
Two of the best in the world👊🏻
Then after that you should also consider when you transition from this life to the next
Doctors tell me with my condition I have no limitations. But strongly order me to not do resistance training. What gives?
Love Stan
Mike! what the FU#! w the arm size man! LOL Cool
I said the same thing Mike's 💪 look like they may explode !!! Huge guns!!!
Stan with some new ink on the arm ?? Mike's 💪 biceps are exploding out of that shirt !!!!
Listen n Learn from 2 Legends 💪💪🔥🔥

Dr Gabrielle Lyon is best expert on nutrition
@Carloz gomes , A disease can happen whether you train or not. In fact, training is scientifically proven to combat many illnesses. Stop looking for excuses. You didnt watch the video did you?
I’m just getting started at 52 in lifting but have been very active my whole life running marathons and OCR races, so I’m still hoping to put on muscle, if that’s possible at my age?
Question isn't whether it's possible or not (it certainly is), question is how much and at which rate. If I were you, I'd get my blood panel done and consult with a physio/endocrinologist, see what's up just to be sure that you are all set, and then start hitting the gym, and you will definitely see the progress
2 of the baddest dudes ever in the industry.
No diss.but I want these two to stop the roids so they can teach longer. Live longer.
48 going on 49, it gets harder but I’m sticking at it. Chest is my weak point. Every other body part I’m happy with, chest for me is a real struggle to build. I guess we all have one body part that lags.
Is there another kind of 48?
@@Andy-Bodhi
Come again??
so true im now better at 67 than at 30
Nutrition is the foundation but yet in society, high percentages of adults choose an age where they let go of discipline and binge eat on sugar and fatty foods. SMH. Mike OHearn is revolutionary in his approach.
It’s amazing how Mike Ohearn is just as big as Stan considering Stan has used steroids and Mike is natural. I also find it fascinating Mike claims it’s all genetics and he has low t pushing the weights he’s pushing. I tried looking up his several brothers because If it’s genetics they should be as big as he is. Funny I can’t find anything about them.
Look at the double bicep at the start, dudes yoked out his mind
Mike’s arms…bruh! He looks huge! What’s the secret to looking that young???
Theyre talking about one in a million genetics that can be muscular at later ages. It's not hard work and mental toughness only
Well they’re also injecting a pretty strong multivitamin too …hint hint
500mg of test
And the rest ...
must suck being Stan... all that strength and steroids, and Mike blows him away all natural baby
i can't believe they advertised vegan protein powder at the start of a video with stan efferding who always promotes eating steak and other real foods
I know Mike isn't the sharpest tool in the shed but "substainable"?
And then...
As much as I appreciate the discussion, let's remind ourselves that the great Robby Robinson got rid of all steroids in 2000. Meaning he has been training drug free for the last twenty two years. Now when will you come clean guys? Please don't fool yourselfes.
What?
why not do the old fashioned pyramid scheme adding weight each set to 20 reps , next 12-10 to failure, 5-6 reps, 3 -2 reps, then knock out 3 singles, then back to 20 reps to reflush
damn mikes been the same strength since 14 till now.wtf this guy ever heard of progressive overload xD
oldcels are hilarious
Are you kidding me?! Not 1 word about PEDs!!!
Allow me to give you the real reason these guys look the way they do. PEDs. That is what allows them to sustain the muscle mass, the bone density, the connective tissue.
Without it, they would be declining at their current age.
Take it away and it all falls apart.
Yes they train still, but without the PEDs, they would not be in the shape they are in.
007
Yep one of these guys is going fall out early because they are using more than a moderate amount of peds. I have been in the game for 30 years and call bs on them.
@@trollstomper242 Sup brother? Totally agree. What pisses me off the most is how they think their audience is stupid, and they treat you like you are 5 years old.
007
@@007stopjockin Certain people can be strong,older and natty but you'd probably look more like me,which doesn't get too many "oohs" and "aah's".
Plus constant use of PEDs or properly Dr prescribed TRT is beyond the price range for most older men in less economically prosperous parts of the world,unless they actually supply the drugs themselves (criminals).
I admire and respect these two but facts are facts
Peace out,bye 🙏
@@007stopjockin When you get in 50's going heavy will just get you injured. PEDs or not the joints and rotator cuffs wear out. What these guys are pushing is not health but just ego and bad info.
Hey can you make the X button on your ads larger than a leprechaun's testicle so I stop getting sent to this video against my will?
As if Mike isn't fuckin juiced hollering at the start LOL
Astro Nots
If you use steroids like mike you can definitely lift heavier when you get older
“Fk Mike ohearn” - Stan
Very simple, go on TRT. BUT, if you where training right in your 20 ties and 30 ties, you will not be stronger when you are 50, no athlete in the world does that, only steroid users in the fitness industry
People like dr squat did not hit 1000+ until they were older.
MORE TESTOSTERONE

My favourite natties
Yeah but both guys are on roids or HGH or TRT. The natural guys like myself I don’t even take protein shakes do those principles apply to me?
Why deny yourself protein in the form of a shake? Kinda silly. As if a protein shake is 'cheating' and immoral.
Sustainable = moderation. Not lifting with intensity or Whatever bullshit man…
You Guy Are Good At What You Do, However You Are Talking But Its Not Teaching Us Or Explaining Your Selves Very Well, More Of Braging

This guy is horrible at conducting interviews, in addition, no mention of gear, which clearly, they are both on.
