    I am 66. I go to the gym 6 days a week, and have a job that requires me to lift heavy things. I love it!!! I am actually gaining muscle, continually raising what I lift. Headed to gym in a bit.

    I’ve heard doctors say this for over 20 years - Orthopaedic surgeons specifically back, then as loading yourself with weights reduces dramatically the loss of bone. Obviously muscle is retained in the process. This talk is very important for people to see as the message is not getting through to the lazy ones. Use it or lose it.

      Sure but cardio e.g. running or walking is WAY more important for health and longevity because lifting at the gym does not improve your cardiovascular health, it doesn't make your heart stronger nor your lungs more efficient, cardio does.

    I spent 52 days in the ICU in 2021 before and after my liver transplant. Started physical therapy about 40 days in. Lost so much muscle and was so tight that I could not sit up in bed. Could wrap my hand around my bicep and touch my thumb and index finger together. When they finally got me to try to stand up, I had help from a special machine and two people. Screamed in pain. Spent 3 weeks post ICU in physical therapy hospital. I have gone to the gym at least 3 times a week for 20 months and am doing great. Regained 35 pounds. Do 15-20 exercises (weightlifting only) each time. Muscle is health.

    Superb! This should be seen by everyone.
    Although the bodyweight stuff at the end I'm not in agreement with.
    People are very unlikely to maintain that kind of program with no kind of progressive resistance, and no physical or psychological improvement.
    People need to weight train, and focus on getting strong.
    I have a 76 year old lady who had a lot of health issues, could not even stand up straight.
    But through sensible, consistent training, she worked up to pulling an 80kg deadlift from the floor with competition plates 👌🏼
    There is a video on my channel of this.
    Older people can make truly life changing progress in a very short amount of time.
    Unfortunately most trainers have no idea what they are doing.

      He says a combo or aerobic and lifting. As one ages, which you will, it's more important to do functional exercises that transpose over to everyday movements. And as a side note not all bodybuilding is equal. This isn't about hypertrophy but a realistic muscle composition that will help one do activities of daily living.

    Hmmm the opening statement is somewhat unbelievable. If I sit still for 1 hour I naturally expend 60 calories. If I exercise for an hour - he says that increases between 20-30 fold. Which ranges from 1,200 - 1,800 calories. I use my fitness watch when I exercise and even if I push myself into the upper levels of my heart rate for that hour, I will never get near to 1,200 calories. For example, I did a bike ride that lasted an hour. My max heart rate was 178bpm and my average was 134bpm. And yet I only expended 670 calories. So a 10 fold increase.

      Hmmm - his sport would've been based around a strong cardio system that is able to keep going for the entire match. Being muscle bound would've been detrimental to his sport.

    Ever since I took up running, I have quite a bit more muscle mass, even in the upper body. It's hard for me to see how one can lose muscle doing endurance sports (when compared to a non-exercising individual).

    • @rynerlute7510
      @rynerlute7510 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Endurance training alone can reduce muscle mass becase it's basically working out for a long time without much rest or any rest at all. It's weight, strength, etc adaptation for that particular activity, so it sounds logical to lose weight to perform better, longer, etc.

    • @axlrosea675
      @axlrosea675 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      agreed but my point was that it builds up muscle compared with no exercise. a lot of stability and leg and foot strength is needed for running. but not so much for just sitting in an office all day.

    • @thomasrichardson5425
      @thomasrichardson5425 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      because you dont require much muscle mass for endurance

      if anyone unsure, look at Olympic marathon runners and then look at Olympic sprinters.

    • @ref4nej2
      @ref4nej2 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      That's probably because you had very little muscle mass in the first place, and for an exercise to be performed effectively your body adapted more strength (muscle mass). That won't keep happening once you're fully adapted to the low requirements of strength running requires and you will still be considered 'weak - average'.
      Once your ability gets to a high enough level (eg. marathoner) you'll have hit the point of over doing long duration light activity and your cortisol levels will rise, your testosterone will drop and you'll lose muscle and look like a classic post japanese POW looking pro marathoner.

    • @dogwklr
      @dogwklr 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Matt, have you ever thought about how impressive it is for an elderly person to gain muscle AT ALL given it's almost accepted that they will just slowly lose it as they age. 3% to them could be life changing if they have gone very low on lean muscle mass. They have the time, they are retired and this keeps them active and in the community.

  • @devilu18
    @devilu18 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    this guy is all over the place with the data,not very scientific ...
    For example .he says that young individuals can lose 5% of muscle mass in 10-14 days if they are lazy in comparison with adults that that Will lose 3,5% every decade no matter what,trying to leave the impression that this is a disastrous scenario .but he avoids saying how fast they can gain that 5% back when the adults cannot !

    Well here in Italy the elderly index is already 184. It passed 100 in the late 90's. Btw: drugs are not the only reason we live longer. Tipical "doctor way" to see life.
    Malnutrition is an umbrella concept. The one we deal here is denutrition and the datas you brought regard overnutrition. There are no real strong datas about poor nutrition in elderly in western countries. The only available fact is unicef report: it's about 5,9% in 2020, and in most of the cases it affects istitutionalized elderly people
    The fact you live longer because you are stronger (muscled up) is a big bias. You can live better and with less drugs, for sure.
    Actually, taking datas you didn't show, the best way for living longer is a social contest where we feel loved and cared.
    Odds are better when you are:
    -happy
    -well nourished
    -active (doing stuff all day long)
    "B.buiders life style", like someone said, usually is very orthorexic and strict.
