when i retired at 65 i joined a gym, i didn't play golf lol, besides eating correctly and go to the gym 5 to 6 days a week. at 70 i was doing way better than what i could do at age 50. out of nowhere i got diabetes at age72 due to swelling glands above my kidney. a year later i got neuropathy. then of course covid. i walked about 10,000 steps a day. my weight stayed the same but my muscle mass went down the tubes. i got covid 2x and lost 25 pounds. my doctor insisted don't lose any more weight. well its about 6 months now i started using weights again plus more exercise. other than my neuropathy being a nuisance i am doing way better at age 78 and weight 190.
How tall are you John . . .?
@@Spartan21blue i was 6'1 but i shrink a little, 5'' 11 an age thing. lol
@@johnkelly7713Great to hear that you are doing better John. A day at a time my friend. Best wishes.
Just curious if you’ve gotten the Covid jab? And if so how many?Could be most of your problems, research could save your life…
Apparently more people over 65 ultimately die of frailty than cancer.
After being a very fit younger man I did what too many of us do and let myself go over the years. At 62 I found myself in horrible shape, weak, overweight and tired all the time. The journey began. First with some dieting and then after about 6 months back in the gym. It took about 18 months to get what I'll call fit, fit for an old guy. Now at 71 I'm still in the gym four days a week. My routine has certainly been refined and dialed in. My "diet" is now proper daily nutrition. Yes, I'm stronger and fit. Actually building "noticeable" muscle, it's a very, very slow process at this stage of the game. My best advice to not get discouraged. Don't look in the mirror compare what you see today to a memory of your younger self. Be your be self today. Get started and stay consistent.
After 25 years of no gym , I went back last year ...just benched 225lbs last week. Up from 160 a year ago.
I never was a gym guy and only bench pressed 200lbs 40 years ago.
I was in great shape when I was young. Back then I could max out at about 60 push-ups. Now I'm 66 years old and the other day I did 102 pushups. I am so impressed with my weight training results.
All at one time? Or sets?
@@robertlyman9789 I did 102 push-ups in one set. On average I can do from 85 to 100. I am absolutely amazed at my progress.
I have worked out all of my life but the only difference is I have added 3 sets of hanging from a bar for 30 seconds and I started taking creatine monohydrate.
My forearms exploded from the hanging and veins are now popping out. I can also feel the creatinine kicking in at about 60 reps giving me the extra energy to keep going. The creatine also pulls water into the muscles making them look much fuller.
My ego is kept in check because I have arthritis in my hip. Once I get warmed up it's not a problem but every morning and when I sat down a long time the pain keeps me humble.
To reduce the inflammation I cut way back on alcohol and eliminated sugar. Also including a diet with anti-inflammatory foods like garlic. In just two months I have seen a dramatic decrease in the pain.
@@robertlyman9789 That's the amazing thing it was all one set. I'm trying to figure out why it varies. Some days I can only get 90 in one set. I do take creatine monohydrate.
The obvious variables are how much water I drink. How much rest I've had between sessions, and the intensity of my other chest exercises.
I also added dead hanging from a bar with different hand positions. Just hanging makes your forearms burn and dramatically increase the vascularity in my forearms. I'm now up to 15 chin ups.
Sal is one of the most common sense guys on You Tube for working out. He and his two buddies on Mind Pump have lots of good advice to help anyone who wants to learn to work out well.
I’m 60 and started weight training 18 months ago and I can tell you this is absolutely true. While eating at a caloric deficit, I’ve lost 40 pounds and I’m in the best shape of my life. Well at least since I was 22 and dabbled with weights. It’s life changing. Never too late to start. Don’t wait for a heart attack to wake you up like I did.
At 57 and not having weight trained for 25 - 30yrs, I decided to do a full body workout every third day, irrespective of what weekday that falls on, giving myself a 72hr rest period so far seems to be as effective at 57 as 48hrs rest was at 27. When you get to a more advanced age increasing the rest period and building in to the program more slowly is the most important, everything else still applies!
Just turned 60 and bounced back from 3 hand surgeries this past year. Going slow is key for me. I'm fortunate to have built a good foundation of athletics and strength training over
the years. Strength training and PT for various injuries/surgeries have given me the knowledge and mindset to rebuild.
I'm 70 and started resistance training about three years ago. My arms have gone from 14 inches to just under 16 inches, I can do 40 push-ups without pause and I'm now doing four sets of 15 weighted dips with an additional 50lbs (22.5Kg) per session.
This lifestyle change was my response to a diagnosis with Parkinson's disease and it has certainly had a dramatic effect on slowing the progress of the symptoms. This is a fight I'll never win but I'm damned if I'm going to give up without doing my best to push back.
I don't believe you.
@@idx1941 I don't care... I'm happy with my new body.
I’m 71 and was doing not good at all. Then starting walking and after 2 months was walking 2 miles a day. Then walking lol 3 miles and lost 40 lbs and then joined a gym. Workout 3 times a week and feeling great.
As I approach my 64th birthday (and 49 years of lifting), I have to say that Sal Di Stefano is without a doubt the most intelligent man I have ever heard in the overall field of Physical Culture. At this age i set individual goals each year which will take a full year to accomplish. Currently I am training to bench press my body weight of 225 pounds for a set of 20 reps plus do 20 pull-ups .....Older people do need more recovery time, (I now hit a body part only 3 times in 2 weeks) but you can and will get stronger in your 60's, Sal is correct
That is incredible Philip! I’m approaching my 59th bday and while I have a 100% severed right shoulder tendon and a similar damaged left one, I’ve made terrific improvements in rehabbing my injuries. Not going to shock the world with record lifers but things are going well.
I am 68 started resistance training, body hangs, battle ropes, lost 55 lbs changed my lifestyle, increased my daily protein to 1.5g for my 88kg weight. Makes a huge difference Thank you for the channel.
Right on! I'm 68 as well and doing pretty good. Keep up the great work, most people our age just don't workout.
@@glen7695 You look 55ish Thanks for the reply. I love your channel. Just found. Will be tuning in regularly. 💕
Yoú need ALOT more than a gram and a half m8.That would only just sustain an ant
So happy to hear about the muscle memory. I'm 55 and got pneumonia last Christmas, 19 days in ICU and didn't eat at all for nearly 2 weeks. Lost 40lb and a LOT of muscle. I just joined a gym and did my first session this morning. I'm sure you can imagine how that went! lol but I'm very happy to hear that my muscle should return relatively quickly. Thanks for the motivation.
I'm 58 and started powerlifting after herniated disc injury. Life changing!! For us older population resistance training is the fountain of youth.
I'm 68, doing home exercises and doing some running as well. I feel fit.
Home gym has helped me focus and gives me a personal space for fitness. My body is responding to regular exercise.
I’m 79, had open heart surgery 3 years ago, previously worked out very moderate, started back 4 months ago but push through heavy weights to build muscles and have experienced strength and size. Reached 205 on bench hurting right shoulder but continued other exercises w/o the bench. No plans to quit
Just turned 60 this year and still weight training,I love it,im not pushing as much as I used to,but its helping me stay fit and healthy, I push what I can control, I feel real good after a good work out. Bench press,Squats, Deadlift is my go too.
I am 67 and have been working out for 50 years with just a couple breaks in habit (teenagers & graduate school). People make time for what’s important to them. Eventually, health and fitness becomes important. My workouts would kill an ordinary man!
61, after years of doing nothing but work, doing HIT, doing TRT to keep me in a normal range, and supplementing with Creatine. I LOVE HIT training !
I get stronger every time I go to the gym. I was jacked at 30 and I am getting jacked ( slowly ) again.
I am 60 next year and am still deadlifting 2x bodyweight for 10. as you get older, you train 'smarter', and cut out all the silly stuff we did in our 20's.
I'm 59 and feeling stronger... its all about understanding your body and what it can cope with and build slowly on that.
If we're talking about men and women over the age of 65 to 70, I would also add a simple, safe, balance exercise to the simple, great set you explained. Thank you - I'm going to start doing these.
Great video! Couldn’t agree more. Many health issues working behind a desk for 38 years. Now after my fitness journey for the past 4 years at OrangeTheory, F45, Yoga and the Gym has transform my body and health. Feel so much better waking up in the morning. No more back and hip pain. Competing now in OCR and DEKA events. No more medication!!! I recommend just get off your butt and start moving and resistance training with your own body weigh. Group classes is better because of the social interaction.
Most impactful episode ive seen on this channel. keep the 60+ health info coming please and thank you
💙
62 yo male here. have not worked out for 10 years
Started lifting, Bench press, plyo box, dead hang, kettle bell carry. And of course walking. In two months bench progressed rapidly to decent weight.
Not dead yet!
Turned 60 May 2023. At 6-0 and 255 lbs., I felt & looked like crap. Started healthy ketosis/water-fasting lifestyle to first lose the weight. 16 months later lost almost 70 lbs. Now at 61 I'm ready to start lifting again. Haven't lifted in 25 years. Looking to bulk up because at 61, going from 255 to around 180-183 you look great w/clothes on, not so much in swimming trunks. Time to go back to the gym for some bulking and tone out. Great video!
If you have been sedentary all your life, you will make gains like you would have when you were young. You can't get as strong or as big as you could have when you were young, but you can get much stronger than when you started. Your body never stops adapting.
66yo male here.
I started carnivore 6 months ago and sprinting, press ups, and now hand stands 3 months ago.
I train to max 3 times a week and don't drink alcohol or take sugar in anything..no excuses.
I don't agree that we need reps.
Once to failure and go lay down.
Be honest with yourself when you exercise.
I think you may be right! Dave Asprey talks about re-hiit. Signaling the body to relax, go completely for 20 seconds and relax again as quickly as possible. 2 sets in 5 minutes, 3 times a week. Importantly, there is no benefit in doing any more!
What routines do you do? Sprint for cardio, body weights to failure?
Thank you so much for this information! I am a 62 year old woman and need to get back into resistance exercises. I used to go to a total fitness women’s class for many years, but it shut down after COVID. I loved my instructor because she was fantastic! I also am glad you said to rest 1-3 minutes between sets. I started doing a few of these exercises with free weights and some wall push ups, right after watching! It was overwhelming to know what I need to do. So much info and videos out there. But this one helped me the most! Thank you!
Thanks, great stuff. I am 61 and weigh 89kg and deadlifted 200 kg in august last year. Your info is really important for me now🥝🇳🇿😎
Been training since 92 am 69 now and only feel old when i've stopped for awhile... remember cardio is very important as well as weight and streching... am taken for 15-20 years younger... it takes about 3 months to kick in then you'll feel it when you don't...
Thank you very much Sal for explaining so simply for anyone of any age. Thank you sir and all at MPS.
I'm 68 female X bodybuilder, competitor. I competed in my early 30's in the late 80's. I stopped age 42. Career and family took priority and I think I was just tired of it. I started again at age 65. I don't do heavy squats or heavy bench, BUT everything else has not changed. It just got better. To date, I can' say that I look better at 68 at 125 than I would have been in my 30's I would have looked porky.I'm only 5 feet tall. I do pullups, LOL.
I'm 64 yrs old now, but I started working out when I was still 63. I've worked my arms many years ago, like 25 or 30 yrs ago, but that's it. I've never trained my chest, back, or lower body at all. I'm now doing total body, at home with dumbbells and a simple incline bench, no attachments on it. I'm actually blown away at how much ,muscle I've been able to put on. I'm actually using dumbbells heavier than I used when I did train my arms with just curls and presses. I never progressed past 15lb dumbbells. At 64, I'm using 25 lb dumbbells, 15 reps on overhead presses, 12 reps on curls, 5 sets each. Plus I'm now doing chest, shoulders, abs, back, and squats for my lower body. My arms are really getting big. They were what I started with for the first 2 months, before I started doing all the rest of the exercises. Of course I wish I had done full body right from the start, but at least I'm doing it now. I've also lost 55 lbs, and reversed my type 2 diabetes, both through exercise as well as diet. I'm not only no longer a diabetic, I'm not even considered prediabetic anymore. I've gone from wearing a snug fit 40" waist size pants to a loose fitting 32" size waist. I've never been able to wear a 32" sized waist in my entire adult life. I've never eaten healthy, but now, only fresh whole foods No sugars or processed foods. Only fresh cuts of meats and fresh veggies from the produce dept. Nothing from a can or box. I am absolute living proof that it is never to late to start taking your health seriously. Of course the earlier you start the better, but don't fall into the trap of thinking I'm to old to start working out now. You CAN add muscle, and get healthy at ANY age. I'm actually thinking of joining a gym now and hiring a trainer to work out a program for me. I'm loving this new lifestyle!
Sal is the best guest. Thank you! Great interview. Great questions.
I'm 66 and have been working out since I was 16. It's become part of my life and I don't think much about it. I don't realize the effect until I'm doing a physical activity with others and they can't keep up. My son who is 31 and is an HVAC contractor calls me on the big jobs because his young buddies can't hang.
I have been on a whole food plant based diet for over 2 years and have lost 60 lbs easily without exercise. I feel like a teenager and am off all Rx medications. I started weight training one month ago and am building muscle faster than I expected. I'm hooked!
I forgot to tell you that I am 71 years old.
@@garysekerak1320do a meat based died and see yr strength improve
@garysekerak1320 Smart choice Gary! I'm 65, whole food plat-based for over 33 years. I train calisthenics for 5+ years. I'm still gaining, very fit, never on TRT/PeDs, or meds and *all* my parts work. 😁 You should watch the Game Changers to learn the competitive advantages of plant-based: th-cam.com/video/MIl6aRS452E/w-d-xo.htmlsi=kC5tCn1Zbyh0ScY6&t=78
Plant food meat is an unhealthy chemical cocktail.
I’d love this guy as a coach
What’s great about this video is that it’s void of the bs from fitness influencers. Sal also has other videos and one of his best is with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon who previously helped me focus on skeletal muscle as opposed to just body fat. For the past number of years I’ve keyed on this one insight about skeletal muscle and at my first powerlifting meet in Newark in Jan 2023 I squatted 235, benched 190, and deadlifted 337.5. My age was 66, my weight was 163, and I wore only a belt.
That’s impressive wearing only a belt!😂
As an almost 60 year old. I'm 58. Been lifting weights and working out for over 40 years.
The benefits of me doing this are insane.
I'm rebuilding a mobile home right now. 95% I have done by myself.
I outwork the guys in my dept and they are in their early 20's.
They call me Old timer all the time. We work on school buses. Manual labor including removing and spacing seats correctly, Drilling out 50 rivets from the interior light brackets, moving them and drilling and installing 60 new rivets, in the 115 degree Summers.
I say back to them and I bet your father doesn't look like me. Lol 😂🤣
I can still do anything physically I want.
My diet is not strict either.
So people workout. It will keep you young and feeling good.
I will workout until they throw dirt on me.
Grid It Ole Boy😜(I'm 56 and Fit)
@@timbeck6726 Yep, I will workout until they throw dirt on me
💪🏾💪🏾
Ditto Brother👍💪
You guys have the best and most informative and knowledgeable fitness/weight training show; thank you! I am 65 and blessed to still be weight training after 52 years ( I started when I was 13 after being inspired by “The Mighty “ Vasily Alexeev and “The Unbeatable” David Rigert in the ‘70s). I thankfully still squat, chin, dip, press, and deadlift; that’s it. I also do 30 minutes of cardio after each workout. It takes me longer to recover, but it’s well worth it. Thanks again so very much for sharing your knowledge, it confirms what I was taught over 52 years. Question: what do you guys know about Step Loading?
i think the latest research is showing you should prioritize strength training versus cardio (cardio is still important though). The key is to develop muscle mass to counter the atrophy; perhaps do cardio just 2x a week and strength training the rest.
I turn 60 on 11/12. I started weight lifting about 4 years ago and haven’t felt this good since I was playing D1 ball.
Inspirational. Great post.
Brilliant topic and guest. 👍 - 👍
i'm 59, was a bodybuilder in my youth. i stopped for yrs. i started back up using Mike Mentzer's high intesity training about 7 months ago.... amazing difference. Wish i was familiar with this style yrs ago
i follow your advice, and seeing the change so positive, thank you very much for your knowlege, Sal.!!!🤗
I'm 63 years old, I'm in the gym 5. To 6 days a week (retired, lits of time) 3 to 3.5 hours a day. And I've come a long way (with muscle) BUT I've had to take a shit ton of supliments to assist muscle growth. And this isn't easy, but I work hard for this body change. A lot of it is in your head as well, you have to put your head down, and go into this %100.
Way to much time in the gym. If you can’t get it in a hour you’re doing something wrong
Collagen peptides and whey isolate& concentreate for me plus lots of minerals…I spend 3 hours at the gym too. 30 min on elliptical, 1.5 hours lifting and resting, and 30 min in the Sauna. Sauna 3-4 times a week reduces chance death by all causes 40%. Plus time for gawking and talking.
Great video. You've given me Hope. Thank You!
💙
Good interview, well done.
I will watch the full video too!
Does this apply to women too over 50?
I’m a 72 year old male and been doing 3x a week strength training 1 hour per session, with a trainer, and doing, feeling, and looking fine that my 67 year old wife joined me several years ago doing the same thing and she has lost weight and gained muscle already. She never lost weight with zumba. Actually we bought a mini gym during the Covid months and just kept the schedule of 3x a week.
Squatting, pressing, pulling, rotation...
Am doing gardening and swimming.
In December 2023 I found that I had lost my strength, I started training with weights that I bought, then bought some more, my energy level has gone through the roof and my quality of life has gone up. Will never stop training until I drop dead.
At 64 I could barely walk around the block. I couldn’t get off the floor without grabbing something. 10.0 A1C. 268#. Now I am 207, 147# lean muscle. Went to physical therapy on and off for a year. I walk 5 days a week. If you are a senior totally out of shape you should ask your doctor to prescribe physical therapy and get a fit bit like a Charge 5 or Six, and a BP monitor. So you can track your heart ♥️. Because your blood pressure will change with increased activity and my blood pressure fluctuations were insane. Also Some BP medicines made me sweat like a pig and a beta blocker kept my heart rate too low to do cardio. You should let all your doctors know you want to get fit. Because anyone can get more fit after 65. There is a woman at my gym who was in a wheel chair for six months walking up and down the stairs for exercise.
Good video , but could you have a video for people over 60's that have taken care of their bodies and want to gain muscle.
I'm a 61 yo lean mass hyper-responder who runs 100 miles a week. I complement running with kettlebells, battleropes, slamballs & bands.
Have you ever watched videos by Dr. Sean O'mara ?? I would highly recommend you watch some of his stuff, considering you're running that much.
Could someone explain to me light weight more reps v heavy weights low reps. I will be 80 this year and I workout 4 times a week but. I’m afraid I could injure myself if I stay with heavy weights. Thanks
100% Agree 👍
I’m 66 and I’ve added a LOT of muscle. I’d say it’s at least 60% new muscle or muscle I never had before. My pecs, tris, traps, biceps, lats and forearms are far bigger than I’ve ever had.
Trt is amazing isn’t it. 😊
@@Jimmy-Legs - what’s that?
How about for hypothyroidism clients ?
I like to see and hear from people who exude common sense. Because I've spent a lifetime in the nutritional realm, It seems to me that good nutrition should be a prerequisite before starting any serious exercise program in one's later years. Minerals are the spark of life, protein is the building block of life, and lastly, essential fatty acids are the fuel of life.
I am 69 years young and still work hard at home and for friends .
I go to gym 3-4 days a week. Weights , machines and zone 2 workouts. I can run but not marathon train anymore. I hit the pool and some days when I don’t have time I do a pool aqua aerobic with baffled pool barbells increasing my resistances exercise in the pool. I’ve heard just the water resistance is about 14lbs and the bells give move resistance. Doing faster and more reps give me a great lighter workout for the
Shortened time I spend in the pool.
I'm 63 Retired Army, I started lifting in my 40's smartest investment I've ever made, I'm stronger than most folks half my age.
Mike Mentzer High intensity Training (HIT) works for all ages, just use machines not free weights when you are older.
I remember in the 70s people thought we were weird who worked out with weights now everyone does it 😄
Can you still build with low T?
Resistance training works for both building muscle after 60 and for overall health improvement, core, posture, heart etc.
I think most ppl know what lifestyle changes they need to make to be healthy and fit but find excuses that get in the way. Since I have retired, I go the gym 5 days week mixing cardio with resistance training. And the bonus is if you are on Medicare, you get free gym memberships.
Nice
Squat, row, bench, deadlift, overhead press. Add some cardio.
You can gain mucsle ....your body does adapt ...thru eating and exercise ...as you keep at it the body does get stronger ...i forget how to run ...i always ran ..but years have gone by without running forrget untill i keep at it
I have to be honest. Lifting weights past 60 seem pointless. Because the whole point is to have an aesthetic body. So women (or men), would like you. At 60 no matter how beautiful your body becomes, your age will neutralize it. And you will still not be attractive.
I mean that in the most respectful way. I am 34 and have started my bodybuilding journey months ago and I already feel I am very very late.
You may lose your ability to adapt by constantly getting tendonitis, tendon tears, overuse injuries...not just death! I have been training for over 45 years. I meet many people who train and eventually are forced to stop due to constant wear and tear injuries. Weight training definitely takes it toll on joints over time. Often people with great genetics don't have this issue and imagine others are just training wrong.
Exactly. For example, because of a chonically bad elbow joint and some lower back issues, I no longer do standard push ups. So I do lots of modified push ups, without injuring my back and elbow. All of this talk is great, but the reality is that as we age, we have to dial it back while still staying active. Clint Eastwood once said, "A man's got to know his limitations."
Look up glycation of tendons and ligaments. Glycation affects Hemoglobin, aminoacids, lipids and tendons/ligaments
@@DefyingOldAgethankyou !
Agreed. When I had shoulder problems my PT guy asked me what exercises I was doing. I told him it included military presses. He told me he doesn’t even let his high school football players do these. Not much benefit and great potential for injury.
Elastics band in vacation👍
Many people think when they reach a certain age it's time to relax. On the contrary, it's time to get busy. Lose that forty pounds and if nothing else eliminate junk food and SUGAR. Body weight exercises are plenty if you you do them consistently, meaning every day. If your in your 50s or 60s free weights can be a recipe for disaster. Unless you employ a true professional trainer.
Adaptation is a fact of human physiology
But, I see more injury and recovery time than weight room time at my age,
All my friends are fit and well over 60 but we all suffer from the strains, breaks and mobility issues that simply did not exist in our earlier years
they take much longer to heal and some that never seem too
its foley to imply otherwise
Actually as we build and feel better we are more prone to push it and pop it
I just see it all of the time, when your 65 you will see,
my 2 cents
I work out with less weight, more reps. 67 years old.
There much BS on web about Mike Mentzer's one set per exercise or per muscle. This was, I sure, after he developed his muscles which makes sense with only doing 1/10 for maintenance. But if memory serves he was selling Nautilus Machines and the one set was a gimmick to sell them.
WRONG!!!!!
What's wrong? Where you weight training /body building in the late seventies/early eighties? It seems everyone except me has forgotten he was paid a lot of money to advertise Nautilus. You Wrong lol@@donleonhart274
You have a wrong impression of H.I.T. Training. Arthur Jones was its developer. The Mentzer brothers worked with Jones for over a year, then marketed their version of HIT as Heavy Duty. Nautilus machines were an advancement over standard Barbells and Dumbbells. They were ingenious Rotary Variable Resistance Machines. His son would then invent the Hammer Strength line of machines too.
Creating a PERSONAL library is a solid learning investment and knowledge foundation. Back in the day I read through all the Muscle Magazines and had stacks of them (From the 1960's-Early 2000's). I Sold and gave them away when I discovered that practically everything in them was sheer Marketing Nonsense B.S.!!!! Thank heavens I discovered Arthur Jones or else I would have ended up with a mangled body. Ever notice how your favorite bodybuilders of yore are NOT seen with their shirts off today? Most do NOT want to talk about it, but they are bodily ORTHOPEDIC WRECKS. Frank Zane in a recent interview said he sees a physical therapist once a week because of the PAIN. Others are on lifetime TRT because the PED abuse shut down their testicles a long time ago and so on. The moral of the story, don't waste your time getting bigger biceps, instead develop the grey matter between your ears by reading REAL Science based literature. NOT WEIDER Marketing Bro-Science B.S. By the way, there was NEVER a Weider Research Clinic. The John Hansen TH-cam channel is an excellent Bodybuilding history information resource. He interviews people from the 1940's-1990's, both the competitors and behind the scenes. Jerry Brainum is a guest who is an encyclopedia of Bodybuilding Culture and FUNNY TOO! Let me leave you with a book list that will give you a solid Progressive Resistance Training Knowledge Foundation. Ellington Darden The New Bodybuilding For Old School Results, The New High Intensity Training and Big Arms In Six Weeks. Also any Darden Nautilus Books are good reads. Mike Mentzer High-Intensity Training The Mike Mentzer Way ( The chapter about Dorian Yates is worth the price of the book alone). Gordon Lavelle Training For Mass (get the two editions, pricey but worth it). Rick Wayne The Body Men (pricey but worth it). Arthur Jones Bulletins, these were the FIRST articles to explain the TRUE Science Of Progressive Resistance Training in REAL Science terms, NOT the Marketing B.S. These were published years ago in IRONMAN magazines back in the 1970's. You can download the entire set FREE from the Jones website. A MUST READ!!!! Also the Arthur Jones biography If You Like Exercise Chances Are You Are Doing It Wrong. Jones was a once in a lifetime character, came from a Medical Family full of Doctors and was a Black Sheep. But what guy!!! And finally Body By Science by Dr. Doug McGuff & John Little. The Good Doctor is a practicing Trauma Specialist who when he was a teenager trained at an original Nautilus gym. Also subscribe to his TH-cam Channel, his lectures are a MUST VIEW. Some of these books are pricey because people in the know snapped them up years ago. Just check out eBay before Amazon to find the best deals. Train SMART and STAY STRONG!!!!
Dude, I'm in my 70s and can do more chin ups at the fitness center than 90 % of the clientele. Start slow and build, build, build.
Muscle 💪 knows no age
Barbra O'Neill
Age is irrelevant, the principles are the same for everyone. Don't overthink it, keep it simple.
Did the grocery bagger get out of the way before the old lady pulled the trunk down?
Anyone training at the age of 60 or older is foolish not to be doing TRT! It will change your life for the better! It will lean you out and build new muscle. You’ll get stronger than you’ve been in at least twenty years and have more energy and mental clarity.
Hey Sal …love your model of la Bella Isola! Been at it for almost 50yrs…great words of advice
old man strength
People can't walk down stairs without using a railing at 70? What the hell have they been doing all their life? Nothing?
Yes you can. Im proof, 67.
Just face it, you're not going tobe "Arnold", just move yo' A$$ and hit da weights!
Not only that, Arnold is no longer even close to being Arnold. But he still works out.
A watered down takeoff of Mark Rippetoe's 'Starting Strength' programme. Also, why are trainers giving advice to aged people invariably themselves young?
Forgot to say, I am 70.
body weight it could be to much for some one over 60 to start with. great advice though
Evolutionary adaptation ? Prove how that happened andwhy? Its absurd.
Longest lived men I've known drank whiskey bottles a day.... smoked packs of cigarettes a day for 50-60 years worked labor and construction on their own jobs theyd bid from complete homebuilds to garden improvements and swimming pool installation and maintenance.... my grandad lived to 96 through 4 open heart surgeries and innumerable heart attacks my entire life . He'd be back at work in a week ... only pills he'd take was nitroglycerin and tylenol.... loved carpentry never worked a day in his life. Never missed one either.
You don't make sense
@@Isaac5123agreed.
nitroglycerin? Did he have to walk very slowly for fear of blowing up??
Is this guy on trt? Looks like it.
The way it was explained to me is, you don't actually lose muscle mass, you need to re-inflate the muscle itself.
Is thos true?
