I started seriously strength training at age 66. I am now 71 and do so much more because I am stronger.

Sully, I greatly appreciate your very knowledgeable and practical perspective on all things barbell training! I've worked my way up to squatting sufficient weight that my aging quad tendons (68 yrs next month) are telling me I should start using knee wraps. A question about sizing. Rogue offers the wrap you demonstrate in 200 and 250 cm. Any guidelines you might share about selecting an appropriate size? Thanks.

Thank you! I’m exercising regularly eating lots more fiber and learning from successes and failures. This video is great and corresponds with common sense. The hard truth is it takes hard work and perseverance. Time to pay the fiddler. I’m old.

Dr. Sully - what is your opinion on Barbell Logic vs. Starting Strength relative to getting certified?

Just ordered your book off Amazon. I have the 2 Starting Strength bibles and figured I’d add to the collection.

Axial loading is bad???? What about Wolf’s Law Dr. McGill??? Load it and it responds!

Orthopedic surgeons lol. McGill is so off base. Most orthopods would disagree with him.

McGill “selling out” to appease Attia and get more viewers. This interview is absolutely preposterous. Going mainstream and “softening” I guess sells more. Very disappointed in these two pontificators. Glad we still have some Greysteel.

You have a wonderful and entertaining use of sarcasm!! Thank you. The main issue I have these days is what my brother refers to as a serious case of " the I don't wantas '. I am trying to overcome that too. Glenn

Great video but you're wrong about protein and kidneys - a high meat protein diet contributes to healing kidneys at all stages of kidney disease. Please don't perpetuate this dangerous myth.

Amen

Thank you for this information. I had been on a "Keto diet" 8 years and never heard the other side of the story about carbs other than stay away from them. This last year been lifting weights and eating more carbs. It has made a difference in the amount of energy I have while working out under the barbell.

I'm 73 years old and I feel like I'm closer to 43 years old 😊

I do a combination of everything. I eat everything except pork and I don’t drink alcohol or smoke . I eat lots of Whole Foods and very little meat. (WFPBD) I believe in Neal Barnard method of a whole food plant based diet but I do eat little meat. I also workout strength, cardio, and whenever I get a chance I hike. 5 Days a week I do (IF) I feel great but my sugar levels are above average in the morning, by the afternoon it becomes normal. Both of my parents had Diabetes in their 30’s. Just started metformin. I will continue to do a little more every day. Thanks for your wisdom. 😊

❤ great vid

A healthcare professional I see so many patients that have 0:13 surrendered their health to a sedentary life style. This is the best medicine period. Well done Sully !

what about checking for pulse and breath prior to AED.

A little disappointed you didn't have Tim doing a heavy deadlift, setting the bar down, bellowing out a huge manly "RAWRRRRRRR", then DFO'ing. Opportunity missed. Merry Xmas to everyone at Greysteel.

Love the title - Athlete of Aging. Great content, well presented.

I was wondering about that ending. So glad we got to enjoy the pain of another. :D

Good to see Tim pulled through. AEDs...we are living in the future!

3-5 g per day

And here I thought the breaths were done in fahves? 🤔

Can I get CEUs for this? You nailed the inservice training vibe.

PBS Science Friday. Entertaining and informative.

I am 62 and have started strength training 6 months back. I can feel my muscles grow and strength increased. I started my whole body dumbbell workout with 8 kgs (4 kgs each) and now I am doing 15 kgs (7.5 kgs each). Nice motivational video.

started at 11 and finished at 2? 3 hour working day lol

Excellent! This is very much like some tricks I use against AD/HD, which I call "Bite Sized Pieces" and "Just One Thing". First, cut up the task into little steps -- bite sized pieces -- each one of which is clear and short duration and not a large effort. Then say, I'll do just this one little thing. I'm not contracting to do any more than that one thing. Hey, once I've done that one thing -- that single step of a task -- maaaaybe I'll do another little bit. But no promises.

I was born with scoliosis. I have 9 world deadlift records. I have been competing for 44 years. I've been in 200 competitions. I'm 67. When those guys have had this kind of experience, then they can give advice about deadlifting.

For me, carbohydrates and my workout is a match made in heaven 😊

As an 8-time world powerlifting champion in my 44th year, the word "coach" is a hot button. They are generally phonies who have never done anything and don't know what they are talking about.

Smoking is my crutch and I have a list of excuses

This is my first time seeing any of your videos. I'm 67 and recently completed a course of physical therapy for a knee that was starting to go bad. This inspired me to get back into strength training. I quit for about 4 years, because of osteoarthritis in my left shoulder. I got to where I just didn't care anymore and didn't want to make the time to do the training. I've found that the p.t. for my knee has also helped my left hip. I'm still doing the p.t. exercises, but have added barbell/dumbbell training to my overall program.

Hello. I am turning 70 in Jan. 2025. I am also retiring in Dec. 2024. After watching your video, I feel I have hope. I was a lineman for my first 20 years. Over the last 15 years I've been an inside tech, moving but also behind a desk. After watching this video for the first time, I feel hope. I used to be in great shape in my youth. I'm 5'8". I got to 249 lbs. at one point. I have since gotten down to 194 lbs. I need strength training. I will now be watching your videos, and gleaming from your knowledge. By chance, do you touch on nutrition in conjunction with workouts? Thank you, sir.

Hi I'd love to hear your opinion on heavy deadlifts being bad if you have vericose veins? Not sure if i'm just dealing with a pulled calf muscle and a knot of vericose veins in the area or if its the vericose veins that are the problem...🤫

Wrong about squats for sure. Deadlifts are nuanced

My father has back pain. I wish I could have him deadlift but he is type 1 diabetic since childhood and the blood vessels in his eyes need constant laser therapy because he is slowing going blind. Deadlifting is contraindicated for him. Be careful out there. This thing of ours doesn’t cure every ailment and is not for every person. As for me… I lift heavy weights. And I own the good doctor’s book as well as both of rip’s.

Excellent. Hits the aging health and fitness nails on the head! Concise guidance to living vibrantly and joyfully into one’s 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and beyond.

The only trick I know of is "get on with it" and "keep it up." But you make some good points too. Thanks.

or - if your air filter on your car becomes blocked with dirt and debris over time the engine will eventually stop . sad isnt it im a smoker and my air filter is half way blocked at age 54 😐🤨😑😮‍💨

Thank you for this video. I am trying to stay as active as possible while battling bone marrow cancer, and a C7 cervical issue. Staying active as aging and disease takes its toll can be challenging. This was an excellent video from the standpoint of the C7 traction as well as dealing with general aging issues.

Please post more shorts like this please. I send them to my old relatives to try and convince them to lift.

What about 0 calorie carbonated water

What about nicotine from those tobacco less pouches

Doctors are clueless about lifting heavy AND nutrition. The tell old people to take it easy and cut back on meat - I do the opposite and my health is excellent. I don't trust most doctors and since April 2020 I have lost all respect for them and have nothing but contempt.

I have heard all this before, of course, and I'm doing pretty well in all categories but Social Engagement. I haven't met anyone worth my time in almost 15 years. And I feel it. The isolation is getting me down. Thanks for the summary.

23:25 Fantastic form right the way through! I see the blooming of admiration and appreciation from the coach who thinks so too.

Since I turned 51, i am really paying attention to my form with deadlift and dedicated sessions to it ... I am stuck at 405. 51 years , 5ft 6in , 255 lbs . I have a mobility issue in my left shoulder (working on it, tho) . I just want to maintain my health if I get stronger, ok, but the most important thing for me is being consistent and being kind to myself... Keep Stiving and never quit! Thank Brother, please keep the videos and the good works 💪

Great video! Thank you!

You're right about drinking water, but it should be purified water because a lot of the normal tap water is full of things that are bad for the body. The FDA just admitted the fluoride lowers IQ.
