I really like this approach. Both training and diet. After stints with soccer, hockey, MMA, crossfit, climbing and more for over 30 years my body has some issues. So focusing on mind-muscle connection and skipping inflammatory foodlike substances has really made a huge difference in my overall quality of life. Another big take-away from this video is to approach end range, stretched positions, cautiously. Thanks guys
Ben and company. Thanks for the great content. It is invaluable to stress the basics. Same way both you and Stan are successful in business-keeping a stranglehold on the fundamental building blocks of which processes will lead to long term growth.
Hi Ben. 53 years old this year and still struggling with "what I used to do and look like" Stan's views and yours, on longevity through training are appreciated. Have you considered the 50+ crowd and training/nutrition tips? Thanks, Andrew P.S. - I belive your gym is in "Toronna" Ont.?
foxxrider250r if you're thinking about pre-workout supplements, that's not what he is talking about. He was talking about certain medical conditions such as diabetes and GERD, which can mostly all be treated by removing the stimulant that is causing the condition (ie shitty diet, lack of exercise), instead of applying a band-aid solution (ie relying solely on taking medication). This principle of addressing the actual root cause can be applied across all aspects of life.
TheDiMono I think he believes there are more nutrient dense options when considering protien sources. He's big believer in beef, bison, etc. More bang for your buck type of thought process. His videos on vertical diet explain it more
Eveytime Stan recommands something,he is talking about the most optimal way to do things. Its not that he believes chicken isnt good,he just thinks steak is a much more superior choice.
What if I can't digest the steak/goat/lamb etc as easily as the chicken & eggs? Say I've more or less been on the chicken, eggs, rice and green leafy/stalky veggies diet for about 7-8 years, even though the workouts are inconsistent at best BUT I eat that way because it seema to be the easiest way to eat? It's not like I haven't tried to switch over to the calorically denser meat options, just can't seem to get the body to accept the change.
Anyone interest in joint health should check out congruent exercise by Bill De Simone. I'm not paid for this endorsement. I just altered my training by his recommendations after reading about bio mechanics
Don't you think when you hit 50 the key to longevity is less weight and body mass, but still lean and muscular! Having healthy joints is one thing, but what's going on inside is another!
Bingo!!! Look at the Ultimate Warrior, looked like Stan Efferding till he was 54, then dropped dead of a heart attack. It always cracks me up when these mass monsters talk about the "health" in regards to only joints, tendons, and injuries - when the most important part is THE HEART/CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM. You are on point with your thoughts... Stan being that big and cut is not good at all. His breathing seems strained, he doesn't sound healthy. I wish him the best though.
anthony tavarez My wife a physician and scientist and we own a hormone replacement clinic in South Florida. What’s wrong, I make a simple comment and you’re triggered? Rest assured I’ll take my wife’s Ivy League education and 23 years of practicing medicine over Stan’s. Where do you think he gets his knowledge from?
sct11s45 You probably don’t follow Stan that closely then. The guy is actually in really good shape given his size. And as far as the breathing goes, they were in the middle of a workout it seems so of course he’s gonna be out of breath. If you watch his Rhino Rhants, you’ll see that he can talk for a half hour or more straight and he doesn’t strain for air like a lot of big guys would. Just my take on it.
jason sheedy that's a misconception, dips, like any exercise, 'done wrong' can be bad, as can bench presses, squats, shoulder presses etc, etc. I've been dipping heavy for over 30 years with not one single problem, but benching destroys my shoulders for example...
It's not a misconception. I have no elbow pain, but soon as I do dips, I feel all kinds of elbow pain. You might be a lightweight, hence why you don't feel it. I weigh 245 lbs. The problem with dips is you can only do your body weight, or more, unless you are using that machine that gives you help by pushing you up. It's very bad for your elbows. Benching with the bar is bad for you because your arms are held in an unnatural position for the duration of the push (and negative). Use dumbells for that so your wrists can twist the way they're supposed to. And you get much better results with dumbells because you use more of the pec than the bar, which uses more triceps and back. Also you can cheat with the bar by bouncing it off your chest. With the dumbells, you do all the work, but it feels much better.
sct11s45 that's funny because I have elbow tendonitis and pressing with dbs hurts and benching with a BB doesn't. Plus dips don't hurt it either. I guess everybody s different.
No sunlight, fed Soy, horrible caging conditions. If you are confident with where your eggs come from, then they are a great source of many important micronutrients
😂 if they could just get the motivation to stimulate the movement !!! Damn that's sad. I'm not saying you have to be a bodybuilder or I'll world-class athlete or even an Athlete, but you should naturally be motivated to move
there is no human functional reasoning for doing dips, heavy work should be done in the sweet spot of the shoulder mobility, not the very edge of mobility, the arms have that mobility for maneuvering and wiping ur a$$, but doesn't mean it should be turned into an exercise, just like standing on your head imho
Please, make a complete guide to train this way, keeping health joints, tendons, etc. seeking longevity even if you still young.
train smart and work on mobility look up smashwrx

Stan thank you for being one of my main inspirations and all the knowledge you share. Very much appreciated
Thank you so much for the video. Just subscribed. Cant wait for more videos with you and stan
Check out the podcast!
Two masters talking shop! Love you guys!
Get them both on JRE
YES!
I Like your attitude to train healthy instead of "destroying" your body like you did as competing bodybuilders.
Great video. Two of the smartest body builders ever!
Sustainability and Longevity!
Perfect match
I always use bands in dips, you can add a band and almost create a drop set style to your calisthenics.

Great info from Stan the man
Sick! Stan is the Man
nice stuff
Putting bands on hack squat like he does with dips feels amazing, same theory
What’s happened to Ben’s right forearm?
Bike accident
MI40 Muscle Intelligence Ben where can I learn more about what you said at the very end, regarding the "remove all stimulants first" statement?
foxxrider250r if you're thinking about pre-workout supplements, that's not what he is talking about.

Thanks for that valuable information.
What a gym!! Congrats for this impressive dialog between both! And, Ben, what 'll be the future of bodybuilding?
”impressive” lmfao
What's up with your hand Ben
So I have developed my chest and triceps , but still cant do a single dip. This Video leads me to think its bcz of my scapula , can it be that Ben ?
angel abadzhiev, no
What's that about chicken being no good for you? That's the second time I've seen that mentioned in a TH-cam video or in the title.
TheDiMono I think he believes there are more nutrient dense options when considering protien sources. He's big believer in beef, bison, etc. More bang for your buck type of thought process. His videos on vertical diet explain it more
Stumbled across this and I think kinda sums up red meat over chicken. th-cam.com/video/PwIWs-g7KiI/w-d-xo.html

Im sure you know more then Stan...

By the way, it's than, no then! Know more than.

Very interesting video! I really enjoyed it but the sound quality not brilliant
50 years old and yet stronger and bigger than me. :P
They probably also have 100x more (synthetic) testosterone in their body than you 😉
4:10 Chicken not meant for human consumption? My whole fucking life has been a lie!
lol thumbnail has him doing dips, while the title says training for longevity. dips are one of the worst exercises for joint pain, injurys etc.

Great information from the rhino that we didnt get to hear because bpak thinks he knows all
Cheers

Why are chicken and eggs not good for our bodies?
No sunlight, fed Soy, horrible caging conditions. If you are confident with where your eggs come from, then they are a great source of many important micronutrients
Two juicers who give advice on longevity, that's hilarious
😂 if they could just get the motivation to stimulate the movement !!!
