As a healthcare professional myself and a long term competitive powerlifter (despite being “only” 45) I keep wondering why this channel isn’t more popular, since from a medical and scientific point of view it is probably one of the most accurate and reliable sources of information in this so called “online fitness community”, even if you’re like 25-30 and at the peak of your physical performance...
Thank you. Who knows what makes a channel popular? We just keep slogging on....
I'm pretty sure the Greysteel channel is less popular than it deserves to be because Sully refuses to hide what it takes to live a healthful life. Dr. Sullivan tells viewers to get off their asses and do the work. Who wants to hear that? He tells them things like "eat mostly plants." Most people have no idea what that might mean. Does it mean put lettuce and an extra pickle on your cheese burger. If I supersize my fries they will be larger than my Big Mac, so that will be "mostly plants," right?
Sully wants his viewers to know what it really takes to transition from the couch to the gym. He will not sugar coat what one will experience when they transform from the grandmother who lives her life in a seated position and unable to keep up with her grandchildren, to one who can not only pick up her forty-pound four year old granddaughter, but also carry her up the stairs to put her to bed. What an immense quality of life change that is, but too few have the gumption to follow Sully's lead to make it happen.
I've been hanging around this channel for a few weeks now, and I'm recommending it to anyone who will listen. I hope Sully will keep slogging on, but I also hope that many more will accept the personal challenge to reinvent themselves, and subscribe to the channel while they're at it.
@@signmeuprussYou nailed it. It takes gumption!!
@@GreySteelI just stumbled upon this, it feels life changing. Looking forward to diving in deeper; and I just bought your book. Thank you!
there is no simple and easy way to health and fitness. Exactly.
Indeed.
So darn glad to find you Sully. Ive been on a long,tough, fitness journey for 8 yrs. Now 63. Quit smokin,drinkin,drugs,(including prescribed),changed diet,joined gym 3 yrs ago.lost 40 lbs. ( not including the 140 lbs. from my divorce!). ...ive adopted a mantra,im gettin younger.....i hear people say ...its a bitch gettin old,i reply, no, its a bitch gettin younger..! So, i can relate to your concepts,and look forward to learning much more of lifting tecniques,etc. Nope,nothin easy about it
You are to be commended Terry. Not many folks have the guts to do what you did, and have a stellar attitude to boot. Keep up the good work !!!
@@shawnmann9491 Thanks! So worth it
Thank you again Sully. I have just had back surgery (6 weeks ago) and cannot wait to get back to my training. I’ve been doing this for the last 20 years and am now 70. Exercise and diet as your life sustaining mechanism, not novel, but you are exactly right. Keep up the good fight.
Thanks, Robert. Good luck getting your training back on line!
prolonged fasting does work, as it is the way humans have evolved to eat over millions of years.
I am 60, still weight train 5 days a week, and fasting has been the biggest boost.
Here's to a mention of one of the great b movies ever. Return of the Killer Tomatoes was solid too
Great message. The food claims pale to the claims from the "supplement" industry. I watched my Mom smoke her entire life, thinking she could dodge every bullet because she read Prevention magazine, buying all the supplements advertised. After battling breast cancer, lung cancer and COPD, she finally died because she could not breath on her own. Thanks for your great work Dr. Sully.
Sorry to hear about that, Steve. Similar story with my own Mom.
Trying to absorb as much info from your channel and Athlean-X's Jeff C.
42, survived heart attack, cancer, >50 BMI, and a bunch more fun stuff; but under 200 lbs, A1C went from >17 to
Mate everything you have said so far, in my view makes perfect sense and I fully endorse your attitude to exercise and healthy living. Please keep it up.
I'm not allergic to gluten , most people aren't but it effects everyone the same. Gluten is a long chain protein that the body CAN NOT break down...once it passes through the stomach it clogs-up the intestinal where vitamins and minerals can't digest. This is why we all get in our late 30's and early 40's and start experiencing health problems of some kind including arthritis.
I listened(and read their the books) and the advice to Dr Joel Wallach and Peter Glidden. Doing this my body healed itself of arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome.
Eating habits and the right vitamins can heal over 99% of ailments.
Check out those naturalpathic Doctors.
Love your sense of humor. I am 70 and exercise is the best thing I do for my health.
Thank you Dr. Sullivan. This was the most truthful and informative about health and good nutrition that I've seen to date. I hate those fad diets and all that other crap that all the huckster's try and push on people. Subscribing to your channel and sharing this.
I loved this! It was brilliant...and I'm sending this link to many people who need to see, hear, and consider this information! Great job, Team Greysteel! ...now, if only you were in Canada....sigh...
Love your stuff, I’m on board. It really is hard work but worth the effort. Thank you
malcolm robbie. You are exactly right, but cosmetics and vanity always trump common sense. It’s the same as when you go to your local bookstore- the science section will be smaller than magic and the occult! “People” love magical thinking.
My two cents
I started strength training combination of heavy weight lifting and Olympic style lifts when I was 47 years old... I got pretty jacked 💪 problem was my diet was out of whack so I had what appeared to be a bubble gut.
So I took up boxing 9 years ago to get leaner.. but lost all my muscle mass cuz I stopped strength training. But I still look pudgy. So I learned about intermittent fasting and Keto because I was insulin resistant. And over the course of 6 weeks all the excess fat melted off me. Now at 190 lb coming from 220... I do a combination of all those and I feel fantastic along with doing wind sprints. And I challenge any 20 something to a wind Sprint now.
Loving life ☺️☺️😊😊☺️☺️
Fantastic video!
Thank you Dr. Sullivan!
Great video! I wish I could could go back 3.5 years ago and shake my hand for going down this road. I love what lifting has done for me. And that previous road? Who knows, I may not be here today had I stayed on it
Thanks for watching, Gregory!
Excellent video! Thank you!
Life is hard. You might wish it wasn't or think it shouldn't be, but life does not care about that and it will be hard regardless. Embrace this fact and you are on the road to making it better.
Failure to embrace this will lead to a life of discontent, resentment and self pity. Just take a look at the news to see this in action.
Poetry!
Type 2 has shown great improvements with intermittent fasting. Most of Dr. Fung’s patients (a kidney doctor), type is reversible. Type 1, not.
I agree 100% with what you have said. I would never consider any type of diet in my life, all means is failure. We eat mostly home cooking take the leftovers for lunch to work. Drink soda very rarely I don't have a scale. I just try to stick with my weight training every other day, it keeps my aches and pains away from sitting at my job all day. And I do like my red wine at night, that is hard to give up. So that's the extent of my little plan. All the videos I have watched of yours are very common sense and I give them all a thumbs up!
Best video because true . Discipline and perseverance work..Thank you for motivation.
Great info...All on point..Onward on the Journey...
You are right! I am throwing all the weight lifting via HIIT at everything I do. Have recently gotten some bands to carry around in my patrol car for my 12 hour patrol days. Ugh. Get out and walk some, plus push-ups, and developing other things. Working on losing another 45 or so Lbs. Have lost over 100. Will become a studmffun. Yes, correct. Plus I love to be active for the next 30 or 40 years.
Thank you sir for this free content.
You are most welcome. Thanks for watching.
The only diet I go great results is keto...I love bacon, eggs, and sausage. I have gotten rid of my skin condition by cutting back on wheat. Cereals are garbage food. I prefer vegetables and lots of meat..fatty meats is a gift from God! I only eat food I make! I also started playing the guitar again. I stopped drinking alcohol...
Mike from Elk Grove California age 63. He hits the important subject's that matters, tells you upfront, yeah there are no short cuts, and I enjoy his sense of humor.
Great video and so true. Look forward to watching the rest....
Made a lot of sense. I found it assuring. Keep up your good work.
Awesome, thank you!
Nice. Thank You
Awesome thanks Sully
Doctors have been saying "diet and exercise" for years. Problem is most people don't want to believe it. And perhaps more accurately that's just a summary of what needs to be done. Specifically WHAT to eat, what not to eat, HOW to exercise, what form to use, what exercises to do -- that information wasn't so obvious years ago. Yes, SOME people knew it but it's hard to be a flabby fat guy and go to a gym and ask some musclehead for guidance.
For me, it's been TH-cam that made this information accessible on channels like yours that helped bring it to an ignorant but willing audience and guide them on a path towards a healthy lifestyle, finally. For the first time in my life, in my 50s, I'm in better shape than I've ever been. I only wish I had access to this information and the will to follow it when I was younger. It would have been a life changer.
I think I like this channel. That's probably why I just subscribed. Great advice and video. 😎👍
Great video got your book on order thanks
Two bleeps?! One would assume Sully is rather passionate about this...seriously, THE best fitness video I've seen in ages.
High praise! Thank you for watching!
Fantastic video Sully. Keep up the great work mate.
Thanks, Travis!
Carnivore Diet. I like 👍 meat!.🏊♂️🏋️♂️🏃♂️
Found this channel at 45. Best channel ever..
Keto and IF worked for me !!!!
Awesome
Great exposé on the traps people sadly fall into. I met a certain 'raw food guru' in the 90s whom you pictured, who had a trail of young, female acolytes following him everywhere. He made $Ms from false health info and his brand of 'essential' supplements. He always had a team of lawyers to hand who would ruin anyone who tried to out him. Snake oil comes in many guises, which is why I love the authenticity of your advice, Doc.
My friend, the late, great Dave Draper, used to say "The secret is...there is no secret."
Easy shortcuts always in demand, Dr you represent the simple truth but some will not believe
Well said. fantastic
Yes Sir, brilliant
Keto reversed my diabetes and now I’m into powerlifting. Great thing about keto is it’s all natural meat and non starchy veggie’s. Thanks Doc!
I do the AIP diet. NO gluten, NO nighthades, etc. It is real. I reversed my alopecia areata doing it. I have another friend(AdamImmune) who reversed his autoimmune condition doing this also. Pescalatarian-limited. No processed foods. I hike, bijke, ride horses and work out including weights. Live long and prosper.
Thanks so much Dr Jonathon Sullivan. Well said. Really love your videos. Just strict hard training is the secret to burn the fat & cholesterol & diabetes by building more muscle. It all comes with hard work. Unfortunately Nothing comes easy in life. And there is no magic pill out there to do it for you. God Bless.
Where is the best site or place to find weights
I like your SLOGAN Athlete of Aging.Fantastic.Thats how I am starting to feel like 'BEING NOW.Age 65 and exercise/walk 5/6 days a week.Got low back problems with 2 herniated disc's,1 hip protesi now problems with 2nd hip but hanging in there.N.B. Do Low carb High Fat nutrional life style 6 days a week,Restricted eating and the occasional fast.Works wonders and never felt better.Lost many kilos of Fat.Like this training of yours it is impressive and am going shopping to day for a starter kit.I do dumbell weights twice a week but hope this weight lifting will improve my health and wellness. Thanks.
Man I gotta say I’m a huge fan of low carb eating. It has helped me to get off insulin and I’m about to get off metformin. I also added training and lost some weight. I’m 42 and a newish follower. I’m currently reading the bbpresc and I have the blue book. I’m on part 2 off the bbpresc👍🏻
"Low carb" is relative. It's important to modify, monitor, and appropriately time your "starchy carb" intake for training as you age. This doesn't make carbs evil. It just makes them important.
You are right, no simple trick.
great video as always.
Thank you for watching!
😅😅😅 love u man. You had to take a min. Lol i never hear this from any health fitness business across the board. That lifting almost like powerlifting method is medicine. Nutrition improves health with good solid information. I want in on this master Athlet lifestyle. How do i join. Yes im getting the book.
7:20 Here is the answer. Cheers. Thanks for creating this video - funny AND enlightening!
Now you tell me! I was about to post, now that I’ve skipped ahead through half of it and found 7:20 on my own.
Jack Palance knew the "one" secret: TH-cam: "One Thing" from the film City Slickers"
Absolutely hilarious that I got two fad “weird trick” commercials during this video. 😂
Google should have to refund those advertisers for all the sucka-revenue you just cost them, especially that squirrelly keto diet dude. Lmao.
OMG this makes me so happy.
Cody
Awesome and funny video. I'm 75 and still training. I have an old saying,
"Training. It never gets easy, it just gets better!" ;)
Excellent. Of course I have to steal that now.
When people hear this they may think you have to live at the gym. Not true if people realize two to three days a week spending an hour at the gym and proper nutrition of course will do wanders for you. As you start making gains and feeling better you will look forward to going to the gym, it will not be a burden.
Love you Sully but you really have to connect up with Dr. Ken Berry of Nashville, TN. (He has a TH-cam channel) You are no snake oil salesmen for sure but neither is he.
Essential protiens, essential fats, but absolutely no essential carbohydrates. This speaks volumes.
U of C dr Lustig showed 80% of food - mainly packaged have sugar added. Intermittent fasting works great. No matter what you claim. Dr Fung.
Thankyou sully
There are super foods! I want that baloney on white bread loaded with mustard and cheese. I am 50 years old I have always said what you have said. Hard work and metal fitness which is the hardest part of life.
Love your content. I'm still under 40 and I don't train with barbells anymore, but your videos (and book) are relevant, interesting and shareable nonetheless. Much respect and greetings from New Zealand.
Consistent action!
Hi all yuall, Bottom line is be Disciplined at working out "daily a different body part" ( CHEST, or LEGS, Lats, Traps, Delts, Arms,) at a proven winner work out that is a significant stress TWICE A WEEK to produce muscle growth with appropriate protein, nutrition and sleep.
I am age 79 and each Sunday and Tuesday I safely taking my time hammer out 20 sets x 15 reps of at home Chest dumbbell and Cables that keep on producing obvious muscle growth for the three following days. Weights are only 15 Lbs down to 10 pounds on my homemade incline bench.
The same system is for Monday and Friday LEG cable curls, Saturday and Tuesday Lats, Traps, Delt pull activation.
Create your personal workout, I order the cables, pullies, lat bar, handles online delivered to our tropical home on south Philippines beach.
Of course Shoveling SNOW for your neighbors is great full body alternative!
Yeah but......you still have try things and experience stuff to find out what works for you, otherwise no one would learn anything. I never looked for a magic system or potion but I did read a lot about excercise, diet and nutrition whilst trying different systems. I also talked to and listened to as many people from all walks of life compiling all sorts of ideas and the history of such as i went.
I wish I had seen the myths about barbell training after 50 when I was 50. That is about the time I stopped for practically all of the discredited reasons. I've lost well over a decade and feel pretty dumb . 😊 Seriously 😐
This is the best video on YT for anybody over 50. And yes, it's even better than the Pink Floyd reunion video. There. I said it.
I am only 36yo, but want to be prepared. Great information.
Bravo for video 🤣😂👏🏼🎯👌🏼
Appreciate the advise that for once is straight up the guts, I’m 47 years young but have been kicked in the balls from unhealthy body abuse of about ten years… and it’s taken the last 3 months of small group specific strength and conditioning to get a slow jog on….
I’m well afar from target goals but with doing everything right from 3 months ago, I’ll turn it around 💯 %.
Thanks a million.
And the weather here in Queensland has finally started to cool down - makes training that much more pleasurable (well at least for me).
Greatest video ever made !!!
Another great video that hit it right on the head - finally someone who realizes there is no One way or One Magic Bullet
I've been lifting weights for over 30 years I've done bodybuilding powerlifting and strongman competitions more recently than ever probably in the last 5 years or so 8 years I've been looking at how to gain more longevity in my body and in my health .
I have done bodybuilding, powerlifting, Olympic lifts and strongman training
More recently after reading and watching more videos for the Older n Wiser Lifter like ourselves I have dial back my wait percentages to about 70 to 85% so I can preserve my joints and tendons I have over 30 years of the joys of working out in my joints and this seems to be the right direction for me.
Supplements I stand by are old school desiccated liver tablets Alfalfa tablets vitamin C tablets a b complex of 50 mg of all your B vitamins vitamin D at least 2000 IU's turmeric in a joint complex that contains glucosamine and chondroitin the shifts bioflex is one of my favorite I also use whey protein brewer's yeast creatine powdered Branch chain amino acids powder l leucine powder L-glutamine and L-Arginine.
I hope you find this video and my comments helpful.
There is no easy way. It all takes work & effort. Life itself takes effort & work.
P. T. Barnum said "There's a sucker born every minute" ... BEFORE THE POPULATION EXPLOSION!
"The dark side of the force is a pathway to many abilities some consider......unnatural".
Need moderate amounts gluten, humans did not have fine grains till late 1800’s, it was course & had more of better elements of the grain.
Thank you Sully, so true, hard work gives results, luckily i've been loving hard work pretty much all my life. Let the snakes keep their oil. 🏋🏋♂🏋♀
Ppp
All very true. We need more debunkers and less BS experts and gurus. I think a large variety of resistant exercises is better than just barbells which can get boring. And forget the Glycemic Index, use the Human Interference index. Ninety percent of packaged food is harmful to some degree.
Sully, you do great work.
I give away for free one weird trick: be consistent. Do your workouts, not only when you feel good, but especially when you feel tired or down. You may not lift as much as on the days when you feel great, but it adds, and strength and health are long term goals, not six week programms.
Consistency is more important than the details in the program.
Read the Book. Change your daily routine. Change the way you think about everything you do. Listen to His sermons! This is no trick, no shortcut, no ruse. This is the Barbell Gospel! All hail Sully the Wise! (/s)
LOL. Calm down, Morgan. :)
I have a totally off-topic question. Is strength training suitable for people with EDS?
I do not know. This is not a situation we have encountered.
The question refers to Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes, a spectrum of RARE connective tissue diseases most affecting the important structural protein collagen, and resulting in derangements in tissue elasticity. This impacts the skin, joints, tendons, ligaments...and also the vascular tree.
Before training an individual with one of these rare diseases, I would want endorsement from their primary physician, and I would be extremely conservative with loading and volume. I would probably use wraps liberally to help support joints, and my metrics for progress would be heavily modified.
In summary, and to repeat: I don't know.
@@GreySteel thanks for your feedback. It's for a friend.
@@davidpenfold :)
I found you're channel and really liked it. I think you're very wrong about food . It is the most important thing besides trying to keep stress low and good sleep for the body.
Where did I say food wasn't important? Please, tell me.
Your approach is sound. I pray to reverse aging via science and exercise.
I prefer to visualise the lethal effects of gluten as shown on that South Park episode "Gluten Free Ebola". I can see why you didn't play that clip :) - great video Sully!!!
th-cam.com/video/pbMq7Pme5pk/w-d-xo.html
I guess I missed that one. Thanks, Hossak.
What in your honest opinion are the drawbacks to fasting?
1. It can be a bit perilous for those which hypoglycemia or diabetes, although people adapt with time and careful monitoring will help.
2. It can be difficult to sustain.
3. It usually requires a significant restructuring of life and training patterns. Worth it, in my opinion.
4. Some people find that, given a narrow window for eating, they have trouble hitting their protein targets for heavy training.
5. It requires a significant buy-in from significant others and family, who may not be exactly thrilled about it.
6. I have found that it can interfere with sleep in a schedule-independent fashion. If you fast in the first half of the day, you go to bed with a full belly. Tummy-Grumble. If you fast in the second half of the day, you go to bed a bit hungry. Tummy-Grumble.
7. As I near the end of a 16-hour fast, I often find that my stomach is a bit "sour."
These and other drawbacks are real but not deal-breakers in my opinion. They tend to get better with time (some of them), and in my opinion the payoff is worth it if this nutritional approach works for you. But--and I must stress this again--I WILL NOT WORK FOR EVERYBODY. Because NO dietary strategy works for everybody.
Good video. I'd like some baloney now. For the protein.
dr mosely has demonstrated a diet intervention that reverses diabetes , the rest, I agree is baloney, bought your book , already at 67 am fit flexible and strong through diet and exercise, look forward to learning and applying more cogent information.
No doubt this "tomato elimination" came from Dr. Gundry! I can't stand that guy, he's always bragging how young he looks and he looks like the kind of guy who used 5lb dumbbells. AHHH!
Have been in shape my entire life and I'm in the top 10% of people in any gym anywhere in the world in strength and composition. Always done it with proper training and a focused and regulated diet that includes no special tricks and all food groups. I eyeball count my calories... I'm generally within about 5% error rate would be my estimation. I did use a food scale and read labels and so forth for about a year before going to the eyeball method but I'm pretty darn good at it and just keep a running number in my head throughout the day. But... I started fasting about 18 hours A-day every single day about 7 years ago and it definitely changed my overall physique in that I now walk around with abs/ vascularity etc...always... even though I did no caloric intake changes... just added intermittent fasting daily... lots of h2o!
I'm fasting too, for about 3 years now. I'm not a swimsuit model, but then that wasn't my goal. :)
👏👏👏
Weight lifting is a lifestyle, and a damn great hobby for when you're older. What are you gonna do - watch tv all day?
Why do you use fasting if you are against it. You said it is baloney?
@Corey Lambrecht Exactly. Fasting is not for everybody, it has drawbacks, and it won't make you healthy on its own. It is a powerful approach to nutrition for those who can use it well and wisely and in conjunction with proper training and lifestyle factors. But it angers me to see it pushed as a one-size-fits-all panacea.
I’m an athlete of aging! Not for sissies! Lol
I really wish I could get my wife to come along for the ride.
Eat well,sleep on a regular schedule,drink lots of water. excersise hard enough to get your heart rate up" heart rate maximum 220 minus your age" for 15to 20 minutes 4times a week.learn to productivity deal with stress and your ghosts.get lots fresh air ie walks,hikes.do these simple things and you will grow old gracefully.see I just gave you some great advice in one paragraph.life is good enjoy it
Goddamn that was good
1:07 is that The Emperor
I believe so. Doctors hate him.
@@GreySteel does the Emperor deadlift & squat in the same workout; or does he split it up?
I think that's his one weird trick... he does them both at the same time I think, gripping the bars only with the dark side of the force. It helps him generate power. Unlimited power.
Hey doc, it seem like everywhere I look now it’s all about testosterone replacement, what are your thoughts.
This is a deep and dangerous pit of a topic. People have strong, almost religious feelings about it. I've written the script for a TRT episode a half-dozen times. One day I'll be happy with it. Bottom line: I wouldn't take it unless my doctor and I both agreed I needed it. And even then I'd be cautious. I've seen badness from medically-supervised TRT. Non supervised? I don't even want to think about it. Some guys need it. But that's a medical, not a coaching decision.
GreySteel , thanks for your opinion, it seems like big pharmaceutical companies are pushing trt for everyone. I’d hate to be one of P.T. Barnum’s suckers
