Age 59. 6'2" and 280lbs. Squat 495/Bench 405/DL 585 in pounds. My 5K is 39:00. Probably at 30-33% body fat. I feel good. Don't really care how I look. Plenty of strength for an old man. My goal is to reduce to around 15-20% body fat just for health and longevity and improved VO2 max. I feel at age 59 moving those weights and hitting a sub 27:00 5K is very solid.

I packed on quite a bit weight during my period of being injured. I have already droped about 25 pounds and have been in the gym mon-fri.

Nice Carlos - I think eating around injury is always a mind-game... you must fuel that recovery as a priority. Glad you're shifting the pounds

Another thing is how if you’re a bloke who puts weight on easy, when you’re in an over reached state you get so hungry. Changed my off season cardio to more zone 2 and the tempo intervals you suggested and it was just easier to stick to my diet. That and not doing 15 sets for everything in the gym haha

Your an aircraft carrier. You need the carrier to go on for a long time in order for the planes to be able to take off. Then you need the jets to hit hard. You don't need a carrier that can go medium fast for a medium amount of time

It still baffles me how reluctant so many coaches are to accept, that for a sport that is roughly 90% aerobic work and 10% high intensity (below 20s Intervall), medium intensity training is not the best. They are so set on "just do CrossFit", it's frustrating.

“Think about how many big people you know, how many are weak?” Bro are you joking? Go look up the PRs of my Olympia competitors, there’s clearly a difference between strength and hyper trophy. Plenty of small guys with massive strength too. All that matters is genetics + calories + strength? Actually delusional. Is your issue with the studies, or how people interpret/represent them ot click bait on social media? Also the implication that because a lot of studies are done on beginners they don’t apply to trained athletes? If I have 2 savings accounts one 10% interest and one 8%, why would the 8% magically be better after 2 years? Also these aren’t only done on newbies.
@tjrugbymuscle 4 ай бұрын
Firstly, Olympia competitors are full of gear, strength and size go much less hand in hand when PEDs get involved, for natural trainees this is not a concern. My issue is probably more to do with how they are represented. Your argument on interests doesn work because hypertrophy training isn't linear. Say a cable lateral raise is shown to be 2% better than using DBs in a 12 week study, that is absolutely information that can be useful. But does it really man that if person A used cables and person B used DBs that person A would be 2% bigger (or more if those gains are compounded)? And in practicality terms, there's also so much else going on that hypertrophy training is still more of an art than a science, we've had vastly contrasting methodologies work. In sports, big guys are the strong guys, of course there's variance in that and of course in some weight-class sports you'll have guys who try to deliberately remain lighter, but in general a bigger muscle is a stronger muscle. The principles are pretty simple, progressive tension overload and enough calories, this is not worth overthinking, especially when physical training is about so much more than this

@seb_fried 4 ай бұрын
Hi you seem very nice, but I firmly disagree. We need science to tell myths from what really works. Sure, there is a lot of good practice that has been established without studies. And it is true that science produces some noise, especially with how the online information economy works. That does not mean evidence based stuff is bad by any means. Btw. for me, when starting to lift, this kind of content really helped me lose my fear of doing something wrong. People like Mike Israetel frequently underline the importance of consistency, focusing on the basics, etc. - dunno if I am an exception here though. I agree that this requires some information literacy to not get distracted by BS. But BS is much more rampant outside the evidence based community, I think.
@AfffS-oz5sd 4 ай бұрын
The non-evidence based community is NOT scientific! It’s like saying “I have a science theory about how the earth is flat!” That’s not fuckin science!
@tjrugbymuscle 4 ай бұрын
Maybe I came across wrong. I should have stated the science is important to get to a lot of these issues, it’s also not useful to scour the internet for the latest paper just to get content out. With a sport like rugby we actually can’t use science with everything because the adaptation needs are so diverse. We can shape ideas with research, sure, but to put this stuff in practice is to take a leap.

Ever since seeing this I've implemented these into my regular training. Have gone up to 90kg 3x5. I personally like a wider stance and a slight bend in the knee for a better depth and a closer simulation to jackling / tackling. 100% it has improved my game. Sofar it's going really well. @rugbymuscle let me know if you want a video of it for any content you want to make (like with squat university videos)
