An older guy at the gym asked me how many sets I had left on the olympic rings. I asked what exercise he was going to do, to check if he could work in (I was doing pushups). He said "muscle ups". I asked how old he was and said 63. Literally got mogged by a dude more than twice my age. Love to see guys like that who clearly have figured it out. Very inspirational!

I love these stories and I love it when I see older people in awesome shape doing things beyond most fit/strong young people’s abilities. It’s crazy, the older you get the more you notice the gap between yourself and say your workmates or friends that don’t train. It’s actually shocking how unfit and unhealthy most people in their mid 30s are, and it just gets worse from there.

@BluegillGreg5 ай бұрын
I’m 66 years old and lifting about 53 years so far, got started with my Brother and Dad. When our Dad’s cancer got bad at 88 he gave me his old barbells made in 1946, the same ones we started on. Their “standard” hole plates are now on my Spin-lock Dumbells. When he got his walker a few years back, he cracked me up by immediately running with it. The lady caregivers were horror stricken, but he made me laugh. You should have seen him smile. My Mom needed a stairway elevator chair because of her Parkinsons, but Dad didn’t use it even when the cancer hit his spine, he was not going to give up climbing stairs a couple times a day as his last training, he wanted to stay alive and be as able as possible to take care of our Mom. He finally departed at 90. He left it all on the field. I do a routine very similar to what you describe, and it works extremely well. I keep a basketball, one or two kettlebells, and an adjustable club in my truck. This makes frequency and consistency easy, I stop to work out at trailheads, rivers, the ocean on my way home from work. With the basketball I get a lot of all-dimension explosiveness by trying to snag all my rebounds before they bounce. After 10 or 15 minutes my shot suffers from breathing so hard, and I stop to do Figure 8s, Round the Worlds, Halos, etc with the ball. Then it’s another 5 minutes of dribbling, shooting, rebounding, and I’m done. I often use the net that’s too small to let shots from inside fall through, because I get to jump up and knock the ball out of the net (I’m 5’7”). At home I also use barbells, dumb-bells, pull-up bar, plate loaded cable rig, and a Strongman Log. In our basement we started with the clean and press (it was in the Olympics back then), and it's still my favorite lift. I use a Honda Civic tire on grass as a sled with a rope and plates. Working the sprints in with the fast walking is a good way to go. I find that when I’m very busy and get away from anything intense like sprints, I de-train faster than I used to. When de-trained I start with less acceleration than when well trained, and go for just a few full extension forefoot strike steps in the middle of 20 or 30 steps. I count my full intensity steps, and add steps like adding reps to a barbell lift. After a few weeks my sprint's coming back. Sprinting, basketball, Olympic lifts, overhead lifts, lunges and other one-legged lifts train balance. This is really important for staying alive. I do a 1.4 mile farmers’ walk around our block with two kettlebells, weight varies. Sometimes I use a single kettlebell, it loads the opposite side's obliques. When it’s near dark in the winter I use more weight for a shorter distance and get back in sooner. I love your topic and could write a lot about it but am probably already boring people. Stay the course people, and enjoy the ride. You’re on a great path, Alec. “I ain’t as good as I once was, but I’m as good once as I ever was." - Toby Keith

I think my grappling and striking covers the sprints too; it doesn't get much more violent than actual combat sports. Mobility is one category that I would probably promote to the same importance as the other three. I know you mentioned it as part of the minutia/details, but as someone who has had to dedicate months of my life to healing my joints, the importance of stuff like band work and stretching has become so much more important than it was a decade ago.

How do you think sprinting compares to something like doing all out, maximum intensity intervals on the elliptical machine? Obviously not the same as sprinting, but the intent behind the movement is there when the intervals are at maximum resistance and maximum intensity. Just curious how you think these two compare.

Having watched your video and being as interested in maintaining youth into "old" age, I would have to stress over the importance of flexibility and tissue/joint/tendon stretching. You talked about resistance training, explosive/forceful movement training (I would say jumping or something like boxing goes into here as well), and what eventually is described as cardio. The 4th and perhaps even more important point is stretching and the ability to finely control and hold the movements of your body in every angle possible. It promotes vascularity, the lymphatic system, the digestive system, various healing processes throughout the body such as spine, joint and tendon, and the creation of new tissue. It helps with shock absorption, aids the various fluid movements of the body and the stimulation of skin and fascia. Really, if you want to talk about longevity, the ground zero is a stretching protocol (and diet, but that's another talk altogether). No need to delve into yoga, which just like lifting, has turned into a slop industry.

Today is the first day I’m doing squats with a working weight in 5 months. I had pretty bad tendonitis and it was interfering with my regular life; I would take the elevator instead of the stairs simply because my knees hurt while walking up stairs (yeah, I let it get to that point), despite having to walk one flight. I decided enough was enough, and I used your advice on curing tendonitis. I wasn’t sure how things would turn out about 8 weeks in, as things were still pretty iffy, but now I’m doing squats agin with no pain. Part of me believed I would never be pain free in my knees again, but I succeeded in a shorter time than I expected. Keep up the great videos Alec 👍

what i think its less about the exact 3 concepts u use for your gole. then the gole itselve.. longevty.. and u need to keep the body stimulated to yes fast and elastic movement... and long and enduring movements. and u need resistance overall. but things like modern fascial release methodes.. not the ones u see the most.. aka the bad just elastic brutal hard breaking. but nuonced and gentle things to break apart the calcifications in your body(hyarolonic acid and the likes rather than the unsustainably high force of a car smashing u).. working to maintain a proper position for the thigs u do(different postures effect how energy travles through the body. abd of corse also movement patterns)(some barefootwalkers get more and more closer woth their bones touching and all couse they dont do something(their posture aka if u look at feet and legs. the conection is more closer to touching over time.. till it touches and couses issues and smashes into pain).. i think there are many ways but we simply need bloodflow.), decalcification. movement and stimulation of several systems. heavy load. and all included.. i think there are many options depending on goles... some things can up to ancertain point be wnglected. and built up. then be neglected again and built up afterwards as well.. but u as example want your hybrid athleticism as well and yea. i belive it takes a while and it takes hard work... also. u should look into fascial release and into the ability to position your body in different positions in relatoon to activitys u do. and look at long term movement efficiency declines... but one should not worry to much and simply feal their body and conect back to it and work on the things u feal... u should have practises where u move and express stuff and feal stuff and then practises around that, couse obviousely u need to adress the issues that pop up without it.. i do ropeflow and if i see issues in my body.. i isolate em or do exercises that arent just isolation; but i also do other things and try to have a holistic aproche
@selda25285 ай бұрын
and one needs to define health first and then look at what one needs to do to maintain it.. couse all of us are individuals, individual things move the needle more or less...and gym is one pretty efficient way but also reconecting to fealing. or fascial release. or working on your bodys ability to move more efficient; many people are stiff and unable to rotate, twist and bend. and i think bioneers video hit it best... its his chanel video: the pillars of fittnes; what i take from your chanel, are some neer ideas to develope certakn aspects effectively.. thanks a ton.. but as example. i also think primal movement has a nice aproche. and bioneer. and also mark bell and also elastoboy. .. we all try different things. but i like anthony manuells belive...we need to start and get after it. and over time we need to face reality and we should look beyond just one thing or ability and start to work on a bigger picture;anf of corse we neer to learn to become more adoptable and then over time as we and the enviroment changes, we also.need to go with it and change with it.. we shouldnt simply acept decline but get active and start to do something

Typically I keep them locked because the movement feels more natural that way. This puts a lot of strain on The distsl hamstring Tendons from the massive stretch so you need to break yourself in very slowly. That said, if you are able to execute well with slightly bent knees and this alleviates the discomfort then that is also a viable way to do it. Changes the muscular emphasis slightly higher up, more towards the proximal region of the hamstrings.
