Free weights as you age are so important to building and maintaining strength. Grip strength as you age is something most young people don’t realize older people loose. Even maintaining moving their own body weight. Being able to carry heavy loads/your own body is a massive deal at staying healthy when aging.

I’m 73 . I’ve had 3 periods in my life when I lifted intensely. Prior to and during a portion of my Marine Corps days....age 17 to 20. Back than, I weight 145 and could bench 270. Then years passed . I resumed again in my 50s and trained hard for a couple of years. I lifted heavy. My body weight hit 215 for a short time but that was too heavy for my frame and I started having back problems so I backed away from lifting. My business was also exploding and became my primary focus. I know now that was a mistake. A great wife , also attacking her career, and raising kids took all I had. I used the excuses of marriage, building a business, raising kids and other lame reasons for not training. I’m a carpenter so I always have the movement and physical effort benefit from my vocation. I’ve always known that that’s not enough. April 6, a few weeks ago, was my one year anniversary or returning to the gym. (I still work full time and find myself pushing as hard as I did in my 30’s. There are days I amaze myself at my productivity at my age. Yet, there are days when it’s tough to push through the work day) As to my return to the gym, I’ve added an inch to arms and 3 to my chest. I weigh 193, 5’10”. I’m probably 10 lbs overweight. I rep with 185 for bench pressing. I dumbbell curl 2) 35# dumbbells. I do lots of ab machine crunch’s . Lat pulls, rowing, tricep push downs curls and these traditional iron pumping movements are done 10 rep minimums and 6-7 sets. Occasionally more sets. I start light to warm up and add weight to every consecutive set. Where I’m having problems is shooting pain in my forearms. Nerves, I think. Leg work is minimal. hack squats, calf raises and leg extensions, occasionally. I hate leg work. I consider ladder climbing at work to be “leg day” equivalent. Because of my age, luckily my good health, and the fact that I now refuse to go “quietly into that good night” my gym attendance will be a permanent thing. I’d like to get close to a 300 lb. bench press again. Time will tell. (And crunching it out.) I appreciate your teaching, Jeff and continue to learn. Dave In Omaha

dabo, I appreciate your criticism. You are probably much smarter than me. However, as a carpenter/builder my lower back is “exercised” throughout the day. My lifting at the time of the back problems also included lower back work. All I know for sure is at 193 I don’t hurt. At 215, I did. I must have done something wrong back at the higher weight.

on the topic of mental stress: it's important to seek novelty. yes, doing a cross-word puzzle every day is good, but you get used to solving them, and therefore they become easier, seeking new things that force your brain to adapt and learn are key. one good way i've found is to try do things with your non-dominant hand like burshing your teeth or using utensils, it's a really good way to force your brain to learn, plus it's suprisingly difficult.

This hits home 100%. Loss of shoulder mobility and the "just work through it" mentality has put me on a years-long process of learning about shoulder mobility while trying to fix scapular winging, onset of arthritis, and overall stiffness. Do those correctives and pay attention to HOW you move, not just how much weight you move. Great stuff, thanks to Jeff and A-X!

This is so true and so important. Everyone should watch this video. I've had several people in my family with dementia after 65. My mother has it - the first signs were in she was 82, and she's almost 87 now. It's terrible to watch her slowly losing all kind of abilities. Like Jeff said, being there physically, but not mentally, it's so incredibly sad. Yet, my uncle played tennis and was a very active man (mentally and physically) until he was almost 80, and started to have dementia at 83... I mean, not even science knows what triggers this horrible mental disease. That being sad, I support everything Jeff says on this video. We have ways to try to avoid it. I just can't jump much because I went through surgery on my knee. I try doing all the rest. Thank you again for this video, Jeff. Everything you said is crucial to our physical and mental health.

There's often proinflammatory diets, stress and exposures to toxins that catch up with you as you age. Likewise, the accelerated aging at ~44 when we're no longer reproductively fit is when our related hormones drop/decline. Then there's the steeper decline at 60, which is where sarcopenia tends to kick in along with related impacts experienced at each of those points. This drop in our hormone production is an indication of where our autonomic systems are no longer being as proactive in maintaining status quo as it did in our younger years - coincidently, when it is able to (by and large) compensate for our poor diets and lifestyles. As Jeff emphasized, we have to engage 'good stress' (hormesis) which signals the body and autonomic system to upregulate and thereby not suffer as much decline as would someone that doesn't take that initiative. While we can't stop the fact we are biologically programmed to engage this 'shift of seasons', from spring, to summer, to fall, to winter, we can certainly do a lot to improve our health and quality of life by following what people like Jeff demonstrate to help counteract the worst case scenarios.

In early years 18-45 I taught martial arts and hit the gym regularly (7-days of some sort of training). At 64 I realized I had lost a lot of my strength, agility and was sitting at 225 lbs at 5’11. In November of 22 I found your channel. Immediately after, I joined the local fitness club. Today I’m 35lbs lighter, working out daily, bars/bells/elliptical and of course diet management.

This is so interesting for someone like me! 2 years ago, at age 58, I took a look at myself and decided I needed to get in shape. I was overweight, unfit, out of condition, had (and still have) a sedentary occupation, enjoyed all the wrong foods and hadn't taken any interest in fitness since my mid 20s. On top of that, my dad died age 61 from a heart attack, and I realised I was on the right path to join him before long. So I started a diet (Noom) and light exercise (mostly walking my dogs and doing a few simple home exercises). To my amazement I started losing weight immediately! I increased my range and quantities of exercises, investing in a kind of "home gym" (nothing expensive - just dumbbells, resistance bands, a situp/weight bench, an exercise bike and a treadmill), and I also started watching KZbin videos - mostly yours! I wasn't hugely overweight but I lost 35lbs (16kg) and managed to get in the best shape of my life (not really saying much but still). My successes became my motivations, and my motivations les to more successes. It hasn't been easy because fitness and training have never been in my DNA, and I don't want to go to the gym because, honestly, I'm too self-conscious (of being an old git). I also realise that amazing transformations aren't going to happen at my age, having started so late in life. Nevertheless I'm still pushing myself to keep going, and have even added whey protein and creatine to my regimen, as well as various nutritional supplements. Apart from a recurring bad back that I've had since my 20s, I haven't as yet experienced joint pain or injury from my exercising, and while that might be because I'm not lifting silly-heavy weights, I like to think it's because I'm being sensible and realistic about what my body can manage. Of course I wish I could have a personal fitness trainer helping me achieve previously-thought-impossible goals, or subscribe to a full-on online program, but alas my pockets aren't deep enough. I've increased my collection of dumbbells, which has allowed me a greater range of exercises, but if I add anything more to my setup my wife will not be happy! Ultimately though, I'm very happy with what I've achieved, and as long as I can, and as long as I remain motivated, I will try to keep doing these exercises and eat a balanced diet. The only real downside has been having to buy a completely new wardrobe because all my old clothes becaome way too big for the "new" me!! 🤣

Yes, as I have gotten older, I have made two changes to my "compressive stress" exercises: 1. I go for reps on the deadlift nearly all of the time. My goal is 10 reps for a particular weight. When I was young, I did a 5-3-1-3-5 full pyramid every time. Now I never ever do that. When I want to go for a heavy single, I simply warm-up well and then "single-up" to the target. Hit the target, that's it. Finished. No more of these heavy pyramids. 2. I never hit the lower back hard twice in the same week. When young, I would do heavy deadlifts on one day and then, a few days later in the same week, I would do heavy back squats. These days, if I am doing deadlifts in a particular week, the squatting that week is front squats for just a few sets and then leg press. No heavy back squatting sessions in the same week that I have deadlifting. One or the other is fine, but never both. My back needs a full week to recover from one hard session. This has transformed my spine condition: It was getting really tired, almost like there was great inflammation all along my spine. I am now back to normal. I am 62.

I don't mean to criticize, but if you feel like you're aging physically as early as in your 20s then probably you've had all the worst destructive habits. Technically bones aren't even done growing/calcifying until 25. Before you hit 30+, your body should be at its best shape ever in your 20s (assuming you're just a normal dude who doesn't lift). So 19 to 21 should feel better, stronger even. Multiple studies show bone density peaks in your very late 20s.

I work a high labor job, I'm always lifting, climbing , and moving , so I didn't do much cardio, I feared losing to much weight , and my heart and lungs definitely needed work again after that period. Its much harder to get it back , rather then just keeping it in the first place. My thought because I worked out heavy, had a very hyper active labor job, I didn't have to train and I was dead wrong , I need to make my heart rate go higher and keep it up for about 8 minutes every other day, which was simple years ago but now I have to work hard to maintain that for more then a few minutes.

Engaging hormetic stressors triggers our natural adaptation and counteracts the basic nature of our bodies to conserve/store energy, whereby you become more resilient. More important to engage these with age since the body is not being so proactive due to drop in hormones. That's when everything starts going south unless you've been dutifully engaged from an early enough age to avoid the typical pitfalls of aging - metabolic syndrome (kills your glucose metabolism) and creates visceral fat, promotes inflammation and triggers whatever bug-a-boos you have lurking in your genetic predispositions, in conjunction with stressors (mental, physical, emotional) that you may not be adapting to accommodate.

Good post and well organized. I'm an oly lifter and agree with most of of what was said in this video, and I am definitely aging (58 this year!!). The C/J and snatch are incredibly complex in technique and overcoming physical capability limitations adds more learning (cognitive load) to the process. The fundamental activity that will save your life (as an indicator of health, durability) is grip strength plus balance (avoiding a fall) and when you do fall (inevitably), you need good mobility to avoid tissue and structural damages from that fall (I am talking average standing to the floor falls, not a 2nd story balcony fall). The challenge with aging and decreasing muscle mass is that we have a rough time decreasing our caloric intake adequately to compensate and overcome satiety. What works for me (not everyone) is road cycling for 3 to 4 hours a week (I take Saturday as my ride day, and get dropped by my riding group every week), but my cardio is improving (as is my VO2Max) by the hills I climb on the bike, so my endurance and heart rate improve significantly. As for cold water plunges? I will have to figure that one out.

Glad I have those 12 points covered in my lifestyle routine! Also Jeff, I screamed like a little b the first time I immersed myself into cold water but I have build up my resistance against the cold by taking cold water plunges immediately followed by normal temperature shower back and forth 👍🏼

@@chriscampos7217 , which part? Covering the 12 points or just the hot/cold shock therapy point? I got my motivation to do hot cold shock therapy by searching the health benefits one gains by searching up this specific stress. If it weren’t for that I’d still just do only the sauna after my work outs. It also helps to rub the part you’re showering with cold water and take the plunge while you’ve fully exhaled. Hope that helps, give it a go and embrace the cold 🥶

I frame my perseverance in staying healthy and fit both as doing it to be around for my family and other loved ones but also as a civic duty. If more people followed this sort of advice (follow and listen to people like Peter Attia and Andrew Huberman) then our whole nation would be so much stronger.

I’m 64. I follow Peter Attia and Andrew Huberman. But I FIRST began following Jeff. (Jeff and Andrew’s podcast is still one of the best things I’ve ever seen in my life!) This message may appear to be informational, but in my humble opinion, it is pure wisdom. I hope we all (including myself) turn what we’ve learned here into action. I’m hoping those of us who do look back a year from now amazed at what has happened in our lives. Thank you Jeff and Jesse!

Turned 40 last year, after 27 years of most-daily serious physical training, in martial arts, military service, and cross country/swimming and gym work. Compounded with 20 breaks below my waist, and 7 operations, and surgical implants The getting old thing is SERIOUSLY no joke Nothing broke my stride....until now. I'm here to confess, I HAVE become weak I hereby commit to myself again, in honour of my past and future selves. Thanks guys, your work is supreme!

Great stuff Jeff. Loving the info on aging, look forward to AgeX. At fifty five I’m not getting perpetually faster and stronger. The athlean programs so far are tough to modify towards strenuous and lifelong sustainability with a view to function and health as opposed to raw strength and mass. I’m hoping this video is a sign of things to come from you. Many thanks

Jeff, can you add another video on the VO2 max with some good examples? Cardio is not my favorite but I can usually get through the cardio days in the ax programs but I don't think most of them get us to VO2 max as they're usually anywhere between 11(the 11-11-11 workout) to 20 minutes or so with minimal rest. Are those sufficient or what would we do to turn them up? I can't imagine doing something so exhausting that i'm just dead for 4 minutes afterwards and then trying to do it again.

Your loss of function point is right on point for me right now. Had always been a good runner (best mile of 4:25 and could run a sub 18 5k). 34 now two kids and a gut that ive never had and i tried to go out for a run and my heart rate is maxing out on me running a 10minute mile pace. Did not realize how quickly it could all dissapear and not used to slowly having to build up fitness levels

I was never quite so fast, but even in my late 20s I feel you. I had a knee sprain which kept from exercising for a while, and between that and covid lockdowns I put on quite a few pounds. Running for a full mile feels like a huge labor despite it being easy just like 4-5 years ago. Hope you’re keeping with it and trying to keep that functionality!
