How-To Stay Strong For Life

[@ropable]

This KZbin channel is criminally under-subscribed

[@fran9023]

They don't post regularly. It's a shame

[@TSCsREFLEX]

​@@fran9023problem with them blowing up is.. alot of these videos are medical topics or training related. People get lost in the jargon. I remember putting one of these on for my Ma and it just went over her head. So I think it's hard for general public to digest some of the stuff they talk about. And yeah just not consistent in uploading. Which is a shame after following since 2018 I could of sworn they would of blown up by now. They've taught me so much in my training.

I thought he died.

[@DocBonyBone]

I started resistance training in my 50s with a history of being only an aerobic athlete. I am now 68 and even recently have I seen muscle growth. Currently the “slow step” in my progress is my joint health. I bounced back from rotator cuff repair, total hip replacement and coronary artery angioplasty/stent. I fully expect to keep gaining or maintaining strength as long as I do the work.

[@gep]

I've always felt it was great to lift weights, and purchased my first home gym in the late 1980's and have had one ever since. I am a man who will be 68 soon and feel as strong as always. I feel lucky to have this room in my home and will hopefully always have a way to keep up this habit. People have said I don't look my age, and have no joint or any other pain. I do intake a lot of protein each day as well. I do this inspite of having asthma, cardio vascular issues (mild heart attack and stents), but I feel as good as I always have. I hope to continue this until I die.

[@Darknight526]

Mirin' them gains bro.

[@BillLinAZ]

As a 62 year old (who lifts), I really appreciate this information. Thank you.

[@wdadwawdadawdwdwa4133]

A very positive message, indeed

[@MODEST500]

May God guide you and preserve you sir.

@jillschuster2157 most excellent

[@Easwara]

Jordan and the barbell medicine crew are amazing people with wealth of knowledge . I wish more people subscribe and listen to this

[@mattmann1991]

Best fitness/health channel on KZbin

[@gischalav]

Sarcopenia aka loss of muscle can also lead to non skeletal muscle loss. This is what i tell my patients, in some cases can cause heart failure

[@Michaelpalmer4k]

Jordans non blinking stare nuances the soul

[@sarahmareacarr]

It's the anabolic stare

[@blandandturner]

I didn't start heavy resistance training until I was in my early 40s. Now that I am in my early 50s, I am profoundly thankful for picking up the habit (so to speak). Barbell Medicine has been a trusted guide through this journey. I appreciate the effort that goes into these productions. Much obliged!

[@stoempert]

It's great. I started lifting at 40. Now 45 and i'm a much more robust human being than in my twenties.

[@flyingpanda3997]

Thank you for this. I'm going to show this to my sister (59F), who last week, tripped over her own feet and fell over, fracturing her L hip and elbow in the process. A BDS revealed she has severe osteoporosis with a T score of -3. She is underweight, under muscled and doesn't eat anywhere near enough protein and, of course, has never strength trained. I have been telling her for the last 12 years that this is what would happen to her. She never listened to me, maybe she will to you.

[@BassThrasher]

Where have you been Jordan?? I hope all is well, and that more content is coming up ❤

[@MP-yy6vz]

He (or they as in BBM) still regularly post podcast episodes on the Barbell Medicine Podcast. You can find it on basically any podcast app.

[@O_Oli]

34 here, it can be hard to stay motivated when all you expect is strength maintenance or deterioration, and comparing yourself to juniors pulling 800+... Staying "healthy" doesn't resonate much with me at this point of my life, improvement in performance is what drives me to train, even though i may never win a medal. So i really appreciate this video because it gives me a lot of hope for my future. In the last year, I took my recovery/training more seriously and my total went from 900 to 1100, which convinced me that even at my age anything is possible with enough dedication and positive thinking.

[@BarbellMedicine]

Nice job!

[@SV-qz1ed]

Believe me, when you See your parents' health break down you will start value health and it will be a big motivator.

[@damanbhatia7]

This was a great podcast. Thanks!

[@nealesmith1873]

Very interesting! 53 here and have been supplementing with protein for a few months (never did it before) and it does seem to help get stronger.

[@bobpond6381]

Great content thanks!

[@Itsme-e5j]

This was very informative. Thank you!

[@Wazgrel]

Great video as always Jordan!!

[@mrquark]

Am I interpreting correctly that M3 and M4 aged people (or older) should train with a varied full body program that includes high intensity and volume to tolerance and should eat above 1.6g/kg of protein (perhaps 1g/lb for simplicity) and hope for the best? Not unlike what younger people should do, although they likely don't need as much protein.

[@BarbellMedicine]

Pretty reasonable recommendation.

[@mollydouce3715]

Hey Doc, what happen to your technique reviews of submitted lifting videos?

[@herrnerdmeyer3638]

Yes! I was waiting for more content!

[@sweatyatoms7719]

Love you bro! ❤

[@80yr.oldpowerlifter]

I'll be 80 in July. Been weight training 5-6 days a week since I was 16. Olimpic lifting and other sports in High School. Mostly bodybuilding after high school. Not competitive. In 2016 I started Powerlifting. I did my first meet in 2017 in the APF, Raw Tested. I lifted in three different weight classes. Two age devisions. In July it will be three age divisions, weight 75kg Age 80+. In most of my meets, I was stronger then the last. In the last three months or so I can't gain more straight. In fact I'm losing a little. I have a goal I want to set for this next meet. I don't think I will get there. I think in my case. The year 79 is going to be my cutoff from getting much stronger. I see I'm losing some muscle mass and gaining more fat, not gaining more weight. I'm eating the same amount of food, protein, crabs and fats as always. In fact I added a little more protein. I'm lifting the same weight I did at my last meet in 2023 but I'm not hitting my goal for my next meet. One or two Kilos for each, squat, bench and deadlift. I have three months till my next meet. I will soon find out.

[@brianmcgrath5977]

Well done sir.

[@SV-qz1ed]

Impressive, you are a great role model. My mom is 80, she is so weak, she can hardly walk.

[@imarcastro51]

👏👏👏👏nice content

[@jdata]

I think you could riff on the subject a bit more naturally. I do understand writing this out and reading it has likely reduced your post filming editing by a ton. If youre doing this alone you need to find help with the work load. This channel has so much potential to help thousands.

[@PEEERRRR]

is the camera man holding you at gunpoint. Blink twice if you need help.

[@BarbellMedicine]

It me, I’m the cameraman and I do need help 😂

What can we do? Lift and eat properly for life.

[@nunoprazeres1173]

N=1 case. I am 57yo, have been an endurance athlete all my life frequently placing on the top 1 to 5% on my age group. I am 6 foot tall and weight 160 pounds. I never lifted regularly. Started lifting 6 months ago. I am a bit lost about it. Shall I focus more on hypertrophy or strength? Or even power? Is sarcopenia the enemy to attack or just lack of strength?

[@BarbellMedicine]

Hi there! Congrats on starting! In general, there's a huge overlap between training for size and strength. A good strength program should increase muscle mass, and a good hypertrophy program should increase strength in the movements trained. For folks starting out, we recommend training all the major muscle groups using a variety of different movements and rep ranges to build size, strength, and movement proficiency. We talk about this in detail here: www.barbellmedicine.com/blog/the-beginner-prescription-blog/

What's up, Jordy! 😂

Five star review

[@rezayn95]

To me it doesnt make sense to read papers out loud but dont even show any pictures of them in the video to visualize the given info

[@BarbellMedicine]

I am summarizing my interpretation of the studies cited, but perhaps I can find a way to use the studies as b-roll!

[@stevethomas7146]

well at the age of 68 I can't seem to prevent some kind of training injury, at least someone has addressed the importance of weight training with data to support it. thanks!

*scrolling comments looking for a thirsty follower for Jordan to reply "Ma'am this is a Wendy's....."

[@Saviour117]

I’m sorry. Had to stop about a third way into this. Sounded like a robot/AI reading a script and I just found it too hard to listen to and concentrate on.

[@BarbellMedicine]

No need to apologize. I have been sent from the future. My cpu is a neural net processor: a learning computer.
