#1: Welcome to Greysteel!

[@tonybenci2796]

Whenever I need a little motivation (69 year old who weight 152kg and now weighs 95) when I just don't feel like squatting 3x85kgx5 or over heading 3x55kgx5... I come back and watch this intro again. I have been working on Sully's program for just on three years now. My start deadlift was a struggling 40kg it is now 120kg. My squat was 25kg it's now 90kg, my start overhead (and in my opinion the most difficult of all lifts to progress) was the empty bar and is now 55kg and my bench struggled at 25kg and now struggles at 75kg :). It is like magic, like John is Yoda sharing the force. This is not a fad it becomes a lifestyle. It embeds itself into you DNA and if you miss a session or two (covid in my case) you are laying there feeling like there is a big hole in your life and you are busting to get under the bar again. In fact, my covid experience was interesting and, whilst I have nothing but an anecdotal opinion, I am convinced that I sailed through it BECAUSE I was strong and healthy. God knows what it might have been like if I was the man who started the getting thin and fit project 6 years ago. Anyway, I thank Dr John every time I walk up to the bar. I hate the way that you are always lifting your heaviest weight on this program :) but I love it just as much. I can't recommend this "lifestyle" enough to any athlete of the aging... all you have to do is get under a bar and push it up... the rest takes care of itself. Cheers Tony

This is awesome! I'm nearing 50 and while I've lost 145 lbs over 4 years, I've been itching to do strength training.

[@GreySteel]

Keep watching! Welcome aboard!

The best strength training in America takes place at the Greysteel Gym. Training there with "Sully", Dr. Sullivan has been a extraordianary life changer for me.

[@yo_mama_lifts5905]

So excited.. Im a sleep technologist and was frustrated with my patients declining health and inclining number of meds. I started strength training, found starting strength, then you. I am working on getting SSC then have a dream of opening up a gym like yours in the Seattle area.... all of that to say, I am so glad you are putting out this and other content--TY!

[@johnfreeman1272]

Your channel appeared during some research on retirement, and I am glad it did. Watched several informative and, dare I say, life changing videos before hitting upon this, the first one. I plan to share the barbell prescription with a good friend facing the very aging issues you created this channel to combat. Perhaps he will join me in the gym.

[@kcfiddles1630]

Thanks for leading the way, Sully! At 71, the stronger I get the more I'm motivated to share what I've learned with my contemporaries, or at least those who are willing to work a bit to vastly improve their quality of life.

[@GOAT-rl2uq]

This is what I like to see, Sully layin down the law! I'm not an old guy, but definitely subbed.

[@GreySteel]

Thanks, Goat!

[@allanlowe3430]

Decided to go back and start at the beginning. Thanks Sully!

[@secretagent86]

new subscriber! i do a ton of cardio (bicycle riding). lost 25 pounds in past 6 weeks, and another 40 or so to get rid off. definitely weak in upper body and strong legs. looking forward to adding to my limited use and knowledge of weights. thanks! age 65, not that it matters

[@DrLosack1]

The Barbell Prescription is long overdue. Thanks for your efforts as it is really helping with my novice progression. SF Doc

[@GreySteel]

Thanks, Mark. I wrote BBRx for people like you. Glad it helps!

[@Uncle_Tijikun]

doctor Sullivan, congratulations for your work and for the idea behind the channel. I'm a starting strength enthusiast myself and, even though I'm still young I'm sure I can learn a lot in advance from you.

[@GreySteel]

It's never to early to start living well.

[@rutvijkhedkar]

A great start Doctor! Looking forward to your videos..

[@dukerdogger4913]

The Dude Abides! Sully, this is a fantastic start to a great series. Can't wait for the next installment.

[@GreySteel]

Thanks Duker! We're going to be releasing regular content every other Monday for now. If our Patreon and other support allow, we'll start to put up content every week. We've already planned our first 60 episodes, so strap in.

[@Farback95ww]

Very inspirational. Looking forward to more.

[@oonwing]

Thank you

[@fargin2778]

Pre-ordered, might as well subscribe and learn something too.

[@danlauffer8540]

An excellent beginning and Beethoven on top of it all! We love training at Greysteel. My wife and I are both involved at Greysteel and we are both around 70. We have older and younger clients but we are all healthier and stronger as the days and months progress. Subscribe and join us at the gym.

[@kevinclayton6236]

This and Barbell Prescription. thank you sir

[@GreySteel]

You are most welcome. Use them in health.

[@afoolandhismoney8871]

Nice Work Dr. Sully. I'm going to the SS seminar in LA next month. Hope I see you there!

[@GreySteel]

I won't be in LA, alas. But you're going to be busy, and you'll have a blast. Say hi to Rip and Paul Horn for me!

[@brentatkinschryssilvestre8012]

subscribed-very well written and presented. I hope you don't plan to make a lot of money doing this. The words "Quick and Easy" are never spoken by you-however "hard work, commitment and dedication" are repeated in the series. Not common traits in the general population. Being Healthy takes effort- but the Sick aging phenotype is so damn easy to acquire. Like Rip says, " easy doesn't work!". I applaud your efforts and love your message-I'll do my best to share your channel. Some will get it through their heads.

[@GreySteel]

We're not making this channel for the money; we have no illusions. Thanks for subscribing, Brent and Chrys!

[@tpaige99]

Loved your book!

[@GreySteel]

Thanks, Thomas! Use the info in strength and health.

[@Roro-dr7bg]

Thank you for great videos! Please what do you think about situation in Emergency medicine nowdays. What would you say please is the percentage of accidens/traumas/injuries compared to cases in which emergency situation was created by chronic dieseases caused primarly by bad lifestyle (sedentary, bad nutrition....) ? Thank you!

[@franktalks7202]

I would like to watch ALL your Videos. Are they all available on You Tube? Why not number each video for easy reference?

[@thecastle09]

Huge kudos!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻keep it going

[@shelleymariewalker4652]

Hello, do you have any trainers in the Richmond, Virginia? Thanks.

[@jameshildebrand176]

Hello, great, and honest stuff you have for those getting up in years. I do have one question - you talk a lot about dumb bells, and bar bells; I don't have that type of space, so all I have are exercise bands. What id your thought on strength training using exercise bands?

[@jacobp76]

Hello. Thanks for the wonderful series of videos. I'm a vegan so I'm always on the lookout for great vegan protein supplements. The video mentioned a link for protein supplements, but I cannot find it. What are you recommendations for a vegan looking for protein supplements.

[@bearsailr491]

Looking for a trainer in San Diego. Thoughts?

[@leeda38]

My mom is 77 always did lots of cardio but now going thru chemo she has the ascites fluid in the abdomen as well lost a lot of muscle mass. What would you suggest for building muscle mass in terms of exercise and is boost a good supplement?

[@MrBahay1]

Some good advice. Purchased some clothing but its poor quality unfortunately. Bucket hat logo was soooo small can't even read it. What a pity cos the logo and idea is great .

[@docoftheworld]

what kind of watch are you wearing? great video

[@GreySteel]

Cheap G-shock. Thanks!

[@docoftheworld]

I am a fan Dr. Sullivan and fellow MD. I added you on FB :) would be a privilege to follow you.

[@GreySteel]

THe privilege is mine, doc.

[@AndresOnu]

The dooblydoo?! Now you'll get all the beard lovers up in here.

[@GreySteel]

I just LOVE saying "dooblydoo."

[@oliverallen5324]

It’s a weird mix unless you spend any amount of time looking at why (older) people go to the hospital.
