I'm a 67 yr old lady and I've been lifting weights since age 22, but very light weights. I decided a month ago I want to start looking really buff. I stepped up my exercise routine and am lifting heavier dumbells. After four weeks my arms, chest and stomach already look improved! I really like this guy's video presentations! Helped me expand my routine nicely!

[@harveygoldberg5730]

I am 76 tomorrow and have been home training first time in my life since Covid lockdown... it’s been hard but am seeing results and it’s a great joy to me so much so I have got my self a personal trainer. This utube film is wonderful.. thank you Liveanabolic I shall be following you regularly.

[@bertlindsay]

Respect man. I m 63 this year, hope to be still doing what you are at your age

[@LambertBrady]

I'm 67 in April, '22. My only limitation is spinal stenosis. I am a HRT enthusiast - recommend it for any gentleman and woman over 45. I feel great, and wife is attracted to what she sees and feels. My HRT regimine consists of testosterone cypionate, Sermorelin, Clomiphene Citrate, and Anastrozole administered by a sports physician - regular docs won't touch HRT. I get blood tests every 3 months for all levels. My wife is also on HRT with the same sports medicine physician. She feels normal again - in every way, if you understand what I am saying.

[@gunner5916]

I’m 61 too with only an “shadows” for now, but your clarity and style is what I need for continued motivation. Hope you continue with frequent videos 👍

[@LiveAnabolic]

Appreciate that Gunner!

[@johnf8609]

Welcome aboard John, I'm glad to see someone in the 60's in the group. I'm 65! You need to show those youngsters, Mark and Gary how to do it. 🏋🏻 😀

[@LiveAnabolic]

Thanks for saying that John!

[@raywatlington5651]

I like his calm demeanor and his simple philosophy. " Obstacles are what you see when you lose sight of your goal" . It's so very true. Thank you sir !!

[@geno5169]

I’ll definitely save this vedio on my favorite topic! It’s working on my abs! Thank you John! I can see myself doing these more then once in a row!

[@pablochiaraviglio8977]

Awesome video guys, just what I was looking for, a channel with simple and well detailed routines for burning off belly fat and building up the core, for the “older” public. Fantastic!! 🙏

[@LiveAnabolic]

Glad to have you here Pablo!

[@andyj3061]

Great video. This video is more than just for abs after 61. I think beginners of all ages can follow this regime.

[@billfisher9238]

Just subscribed and like having an older instructor. Just turned 66. Wrestled in college and kept a workout regimen over the years, but now I want to take my body to another level. I feel like I'm too old, but willing to give it a shot.

[@dlm195804]

Thank you very much John

[@flynnbob58phillips2]

My kind of trainer .. kept his shirt on .. always feel inadequate when ripped youngsters parade without theirs on .. and you think to yourself I’m never getting to look like that .. loved the video upload more please 👍🏻

[@LiveAnabolic]

Thanks for that comment! Plenty more videos from John on the way!

[@vardhamanupadhye3916]

I've been watching these videos for the last few day's. Just turned 59. I've always stayed in decent shape. I had back surgery a year ago last December, so been kinda dormant.

I started lifting weights in January. I’m really trying to get lean and put on muscle. I’ve been trying to get abs! I’ve never had? I do lift everyday. Doing some ab workouts. I just turned 55 last Monday! I really needed this vedio!thank you! I used to be 200. With a lot of running! Don’t do keto… I did it .since I stopped I had two A/fib. My last one last month. My doctor said I have 47%. Clogged arteries by my heart. All I ever wanted was to have abs

[@jamesk8s1]

Thanks John I love your humble style I am 56 and you are inspirational in your explanation and approach, I am on my way to developing those Abbs thanks to the guys,Welcome aboard and please do more Abb dedicated videos 👏👏👍👍💪💪🙏🙏

[@LiveAnabolic]

Thank you for saying that, my friend. Many more to come!

[@CrimsonRaven51]

Please correct me if wrong, but I understood that side bends ( exercise #3) will actually thicken your mid section. Thanks. I’m 70 and have been weight training since I came home from the Army in 1974.

[@ScottHeaney]

Absolutely! With TRT

[@augustmosco]

Thank you "Sly"--great video.

[@JamesHarris-wo3um]

Thanks

[@hectorlebron3109]

Awesome video thanks for the info 💪💪🏋️‍♀️🏋️‍♀️👍

[@anonimushbosh]

No offence to this guy but he’s always worked out so he’s never been in catch-up mode. Would be really encouraging to see videos like these presented by people who began looking after themselves in later life.

[@mediterraneandiet2483]

‘Intermittent Fasting’ is key in gaining and keeping a lean abdomen.

[@borisbevzik5210]

Great video! Detailed, simple, understandable...Thanks, John. Could you please advise how you stabilize breathing during indoor workout?

[@rogeryf4848]

How do you handle a pinged shoulder problem

[@TEB64]

Being 77 it is difficult finding guidance, thank you. I am currently doing lift 4, do you know anything about this? I live in the PNW, is your studio anywhere near me, I would love a one on one session.

[@sax2540]

Can I request to see John abs? He looks amazing!

[@LiveAnabolic]

In future videos it's definitely a possibility

[@LisaMurphy]

Yes, would like to see him without his shirt !!

[@ulliel_]

For a moment I was sure it was a leaner & younger Stallone... great advice too!

[@LiveAnabolic]

Well thank you!

[@johnnyg7899]

Quick question. I noticed that you are shredded and in great shape, but your arm thickness and shoulders seem a little less developed. Is that due to your shredding routine? Not trying to be critical here. Just worried about losing some mass during the shred phase at 65.

[@14oneshot]

What kind of bench are using in the lumbar extensions?

[@stevezylstra7792]

A weight that allows you to do 12 reps, 3 sets. But that depends on how much rest time between sets. right? What is that rest time amount?

[@josephsilva9054]

Do you recommend doing abs before or after weight training?

[@LiveAnabolic]

After would be best Joseph

[@UncleDanBand64]

I agree 110%@@LiveAnabolic

[@UncleDanBand64]

@John Shumate Honestly I never do Core/Ab day but....if I did it would be after I was through. Now I do lots of Pullups, Pushups and Dips and that really taxes the core and abs especially weighted one👍🇺🇸

[@barton_dean39]

A dip stand is going to do the trick for my abs, can't wait until it gets here. Can't believe the pandemic is still going on. Key to everything, fast 18-20 a day, tubby. And I am talking to myself.

[@donpenman1326]

Waiting for T-1000 coming up through the floor :) Good first appearance John

[@LiveAnabolic]

LOL! I got that one

[@BillyBob-jb3yy]

Been trying is it my diet or what been working out for years no abs

[@garyvolkmann3647]

I'll be 77 in April. So what?! I'm made out of the same stuff all my life. 40?! You're a kid.

[@60PlusFitnessJourney]

It is definitely possible. I will say this though, I do not believe one needs to incorporate any crazy ab work or high intensity training. Coincidentally I'm 61 and I don't do a lick of ab work and have the best abs I've had in my life. I'm an advocate of 80/20 running...80% of my mileage at a low heart rate and 20% tempo runs. It's simply a matter of diet and a solid, consistent plan.

[@geno5169]

Back when I was in my 40’s I did alot of running up to 17 miles. Even doing all kind of races.then I got arthritis in my hip.I had to get surgery.now I’m walking a lot. I really miss my running. I also lost my vision. at the of. 47.all I have now is my prefer and really great ears

[@SirGawainDF]

I think I'm perfectly ripped under my thick layer of fat :-))

[@jacqaqq]

Abs are made in the gym. Abs are REVEALED in the kitchen. :)

[@holiemo4342]

Can a menopause women follow your abs program?

[@LiveAnabolic]

I don’t see why not!

[@farkinarkin5099]

...and here I thought "crunches" were the sound of cheezies being eaten. XD

[@Allan8080]

Jeg håber jeg kan bevare min muskelmasse og den måde jeg ser ud på nu, når jeg er 61, har desværre ikke set nogen, hvor jeg 100 procent, syntes de bevare deres muskler efter 50, så håber jeg kan bevise det modsatte

Yes you can get abs after 61. I'm 66.

[@bmoore5868]

I've got six pack at 54.... diet and hard work is critical at this age but genetics are a huge factor as well. plus don't let yourself go and gain a lot of weight.. when that weight is lost at middle age the loose skin look will never totally go away even when you get back in shape

[@geno5169]

I just turned 55. Can you share what’s in your diet?

[@bmoore5868]

nuts, eggs, cheese, veggies during the day, chicken or beef at night very low carbs and fats.... the hunger goes away once you cut out sugar and reduce carbs I find...

[@BillyBob-jb3yy]

No way I try try can’t do it

[@trw3865]

You don't need to get down to single digits to see your abs, only down to 13 % .

[@LambertBrady]

Just say "KETO (no alcohol, no carbs) and fasting"

[@EnlightenedRogue24]

[@LTandDS]

Dumbbell side bends and sit-ups? Seriously? What is this, the 1970s? Proven to be useless exercises. And back extensions are a terrible exercise unless you're in really good shape and know what you're doing. Can easily get hurt.

[@gunner5916]

Crunches not “sit-ups”. That’s the difference between the “70’s” and today. Crunches are proven, sit-ups are out.

[@trw3865]

@John Shumate What Gunner is saying is, when you are lying down on the bench, and you sit straight up, there is no contraction on your abs at that point. Would be a lot better if you would start with your shoulders about 4 or 5 inches off the bench, then raise up from there and back down again, always keeping tension on the abs. Old style sit ups are also bad for your lower back, crunches I think would be a lot better. Then for your lower abs, reverse crunches would be the way to go.
