Maaan…I got ripped off. I’m 54, and they weren’t passing out those bitchin silver wigs when I turned 40. Total bullshit man. Not fair! I want my f*ckin wig!!
please stop with the stupid background noise.
The study compared 18 to 22 years (a 5 years age range) to 35 to 50 years (a 15 years age range ) 🤔
This guy is so funny 👍
I'm 50, I only use body weight, push ups and pull ups 4 to 5 days a week, some days the body says you trippen, only thing I take is plant recovery. Look better than most 30 year olds, but I want that 6 pack again. That's just body fat, hard to get under 12%. Got 4 but want 6🤔😁
46 here, avoid weightlifter since age 14. I’ve endured a couple of back injuries but overall, stronger and fitter than ever. As my diet has steadily improved, I also feel like I can train harder than I could, even as a teenager. I’m concerned about declining testosterone, though I don’t feel it happening yet. Looking for good research on the connection between weight training and testosterone into middle-age, if anyone has suggestions.
5:10 – I would suggest to NOT eat "multivitamins" without proper medical analysis. There's nothing good at being overdosed by vitamins.
Some good info here
I'm bigger and stronger at 54 than I was at 34.
Another pro tip for older lifters like myself (I'm 54 as I write this and have been lifting consistently for 35 years) is do less weight on your lifts but higher reps. This way you still get your time under tension but minimize injury.
So for example in your 20's if you regulary benched 225 lbs for reps (so 4 plates in total) for 8-12 reps now in your 40's do 165 but for 12-16 reps so you still get the benefits of the lift but minimize injury particularly to connective tissue and joints.
Great content liked and subscribed thank you.
Old age doesn't mean that the guy keeps on showing his weird teeth.
idiot video made by idiots who probably aren't even 20 years old.
I am 53, diabetic, lost most of upper chest and arm muscles due to high diabetes, In March 2023, I started weight training, good amount of protein, and less carbs, now (May 2024 ) I gained visible and sizable muscle mass and lost 7 kg weight and feeling so young.
At 62yo, with 46 years of Heavy Duty behind me, I continue to grow bigger and stronger.
I am 54. Still building muscle no problem. Just be extra careful what your body tells you. You get hurt you will take forever to recover. That is the difference.
I'm 55 and natty, but I'm still gaining strength. I think muscle growth does slow down at some point. I don't know when, so I'll just have to keep going until I find out.
As a 70-year-old male in CrossFit for 2.5 years, I found that my zeal to lift more weight did cause injuries. This was not a CrossFit problem, but my own lack of judgment about what I was ready for. In one instance, eager to get my first pull-up, I decided to do 3 sets of five negative pull-ups every Monday, Wednesday, & Friday. All went well through week 1. However, on Saturday my right arm ached badly and took months to recover. My lesson: too much volume, too fast. The second injury was to my left shoulder, acquired when trying to walk my hands to the wall in a wall-supported handstand. At 220, this meant momentarily supporting 220 lbs on one arm. I felt no injury. Two days later, my shoulder ached badly, and took months to recover. My lesson: my body was not ready to take on that pressure. Ultimately, I am not more attentive to making sure volume and weights progress incrementally, so I am ready for it.
So what is he saying then, do 6 sets to get ripped?? And 40 isn't old.
I lift 1-3x a week and that works for me. Goal is to lean out not get huge.
Just started after 40.
Love how they showing 40year olds like 90 year olds. nice one on missing the mark 😅 my gyms full of 40+ beasts. 👑
What's with the deadlift grip? You're just asking for a torn bicep. 😉
I will do 6 sets instead of 3 sets for big muscles and long grey beard 😂
No idea what's in the vid, got tired quick of all the gooning around for no reason. Thanks anyway.
51 enjoy training with creatine
The year is 2024: Hey man let's talk about my workout!…..The year is 2044: Hey man let's talk about my workout!……Me: No thanks. I am the most interesting man in the World!
6:23 that's me everytime
Increase INTENSITY doesn't mean to increase the amount of work you're doing: intensity doesn't mean to train MORE, but to train HARDER.
In fact, in my personal experience, I maintain that as you get older and more experienced, you should train less and harder.
At your very best, you train very little and very hard. Muscles recovers and builds up at rest.
Quality, not quantity: this is intensity.
Who is “They” and why won’t “They” tell me?
Injuries…injuries…injuries…pay big time attention to being body and work out smart and not a smart-a– about being the man on the hill.
Take off that wig and step Kid! 😂Real 66 year old training calisthenics consistently and gaining for 6 years. Days off do help with recovery and growth. It also minimizes risk of injury which is higher in post-50 athletes. I do active rest and walk 3-6 miles on "off" days. Unpopular fact: most post 60 people have existing health conditions that will limit or end them. Many are related to diet. I've eaten whole food plant-based for over 34 years. I'm on no meds, PEDs, TRT and all my parts work. 🤑🤑🤑
