Jason Khalipa’s Non Negotiables to Get Under 10% Bodyfat without Losing Muscle Over Age 40

[@MrQuadcity]

**Here are the key insights from the conversation:** 1. Consistent long-term training builds a strong fitness foundation, making maintenance easier over time. 2. High-intensity workouts are often more time-efficient and effective for adaptation than high-volume, moderate-intensity training. 3. Balancing intensity, volume, and frequency is crucial for optimal results and sustainable fitness. 4. Incorporating weightlifting into fat loss programs can be more effective than cardio alone. 5. Short, intense workouts combined with low-intensity activities may help better control appetite compared to longer, moderate sessions. 6. Occasionally reaching high levels of perceived exertion (9-10 on RPE scale) is important for maximizing genetic potential. 7. Consistency and effort are more important than chasing "perfect" workouts. 8. Maintaining fitness throughout life enhances long-term quality of life and experiences. 9. For beginners, starting with a manageable routine (e.g., 3 days a week) that includes both strength and conditioning is recommended. 10. The psychological aspects of workouts, such as perceived effort and sweating, can impact motivation and subsequent behaviors. 11. Having a structured program or app can help maintain consistency, especially for busy individuals. 12. It's important to view fitness as a lifelong journey rather than focusing on short-term goals or metrics. In conclusion, this conversation emphasizes the importance of sustainable, consistent fitness practices for long-term health and body composition. Key takeaways include prioritizing high-intensity workouts, incorporating strength training, and maintaining a balanced approach to exercise. The discussion highlights that fitness is a lifelong journey, not a short-term goal. By focusing on consistency, adapting routines to individual needs, and celebrating effort over perfection, individuals can effectively maintain muscle mass, reduce body fat, and enhance overall quality of life, especially as they age. Ultimately, the message is clear: a well-structured, personalized fitness approach that combines intensity with sustainability is crucial for achieving and maintaining optimal health and physique.

I wish I found all this info several years ago. At 47 I was told to change my diet to get my cholesterol down, only rec was cut sat fats. Boy did I, I went from about 240 to 180 over 3 years with a very restrictive diet (still didn't get it down enough). End of last year I found myself with so many issues in spite of eating pretty healthy. I was sleeping horrible, tired, sooo weak (I've generally been a strong person but realized how much muscle I lost), and just felt like I was having a breakdown. I had to do something and went down the youtube rabbit hole, thankfully finding good health advice. I'm about 182 8 months later but with noticeable more muscle and strength. That's pushing myself to eat as much good food/protein as I can and back into the gym. I feel like a new person, thanks.

[@SweepTheLeg2023]

Awesome progress man! Don't know if you ever delved into the rabbit hole of Tongkat ali to increase Free T. Keep killing it man!

[@Grumpyoldman666]

As a guy with genetically high cholesterol myself, along with losing excess body fat I found greatly increasing my fiber intake helped greatly for cholesterol

[@RC_NotTheCola]

@@Grumpyoldman666 yeah I am still trying to find the right balance for me, hard to get that protein high enough while keeping enough fiber while keeping the calorie count down. I found I do better w/out grains so just berries and veggies. I'm on the smallest does lipitor and my #s are great, would love to not be on it but I also have that history. Pushing to eat more veggies

I gotta say, that room for the talk is really nice. The lights, the plants, everything really. Usually I don't notice. Its just there and gives the talk a comfortable vibe. But I took that in today.

[@user-ed5jh3ff6u]

Thanks Thomas, 62 years old with excellent genetics, have been low body fat my whole life, I think the community is doing a disservice by not acknowledging PEDs, being lean does not produce size and that should be acknowledged, regardless of PEDs it is about work, dedication and discipline, however the leaner you stay the smaller you are, I enjoy being below 10%, but carrying size is almost impossible. Thank you again for all the excellent videos.

[@archiesutton1291]

Thomas, Jason, thank you for this. One of the best pump - me - up vids, I have watched. I have been so down on myself lately for not going hard enough. Thanks again.

[@getter_done]

really good conversation…thanks Thomas & Jason

[@margomoore4527]

I’m 74. I work out with a trainer, and alone. If all the machines are busy, or if I’m not sure what would be most beneficial, my default is whole-body exercises: farmer’s walk with kettlebells, throwing down the big squashy medicine ball (10 lb) that only rebounds a few inches, squatting down fast to catch it, etc., and lunges with smallish kettlebells. Followed by 1-1/2 miles on the treadmill-takes 32-33 minutes and getting better. I know that whatever body part needs work will be addressed by my trainer, but I can do these solo. Doesn’t matter what preoccupations concern me, I don’t have to think or worry; I know these are good medicine.

[@OriginalPripp]

I got ripped at 41 so its mostly about determination

[@Slizsan]

I wish more people would talk about overtraining & how to balance it out! I was overtraining for the longest ! Became anorexic looking even raising my Calories it’s been a journey ! While I know not a lot of people fall on that category, we are out here! & I feel there is not a lot of info out there about it at least compared to under training.

[@SparksMiss]

Excellent!! Thank you for the very encouraging and informative talk!!! 🥳🙌

[@patrickreilly7256]

I'm 70. My goal is to maintain 30% fat. I eat under 500 carbs per day. Strict. No more than 5 meals a day. Except for several snacks. No more than 1 pint of Häagen-Dazs. Starbucks double chocolate chip w Carmel drizzle and whipped cream w sprinkles. It's not easy but... I've been doing it for yrs. ♡

[@marcinpszczola3149]

Sad life, all the best

😂😂😂man you eat way too much

[@REVECRIT]

500 carbs is Rookie numbers need 9000 carbs per day

[@joefrisbie1594]

This is a very good poke at this subject matter

[@crucifixgym]

0:50 I’m the opposite. Still can’t see 200 on the scale unless I want to be fat. But 35 years of at least being a gym bro makes all the difference, all the non gym bros my age are a wreck.

[@kushty1]

Yeah I remember Jay Cutler saying he doesn't have air con in his house as he likes to get a good sweat on. Love the content.

[@sana-cm7oc]

So workout 3 - 4 times a day for years... Does this person have a job?

[@galinageorgieva4735]

No grains, almost no processed foods, no potatoes, no breakfast, some sugar only from time to time(kept eating fruit, though), matcha and working out helped my partner get lean and look amazing in 2-3 months. But he is a man, it's different for me and I also have thyroid problems, so it's not that easy even though I am more strict than him with my eating habits

[@lexsarrasin713]

I love the comments about what a good workout is.

[@CequalsRN]

Huh I do curls on the stationary bike 15:56

[@ClaireLouiseHay]

I agree with you on the sweating and also that overtraining is talked about way too much, I remember being confused by it, I work out every day, I push myself hard, I do intense workouts, it makes me feel great... then some people have said I'm overtraining, like huh? Got me worried I was harming myself, but I recover just fine

[@reclaimtheframe]

Similar experience, was super large and finally cutting in my 40s.

[@sethpahlath3373]

Hi Thomas, I train 6 days a week and hit my red zone about 3 times a week. I have been training hard for about a year now. Iam around 12% body fat. My question is, would be a bad idea to take a week of gym for rest and recovery? What's ur advise on this.

[@KuumbaOnline]

You can definitely take a week off even two weeks , that doesn’t mean inactivity , you you don’t have to lift or redline but just be moderately active and you’ll be fine , may have to lower calories during that time

[@mickmcmonagle4664]

Yeah bro you could probably be doing with a break. Christian Thibaudeaus neural charge workouts in meantime might be worth looking into if feel need to do something

[@-observation401]

Where is the mentioning of body fat 10% ? Nowhere to find your topic in the conversation!

[@ThomasDeLauerOfficial]

The entire conversation is about sustainability of low Bodyfat and strength.

[@-observation401]

@@ThomasDeLauerOfficialJust admit that it is a clickbait. I have watched the entire video twice, and I couldn’t find anything that explains your thesis statement. Let me directly ask you here: What are the “Non Negotiables to Get Under 10% Bodyfat without Losing Muscle Over Age 40”?

Many older men have to deal with gyno. Make a video about that.

[@765lbsquat]

Years of excessive roids and PEDs will do that.

[@videogazer801]

Most men don’t use steroids, so, it’s not a large percentage, unless something caused their gyno.

[@hippie_4762]

It's an easy procedure.

[@bobsundquist2039]

Look at the relationship with metabolic syndrome as you get older.

[@19gizzard]

Is it gyno or just fat titties? There's a big difference.

[@EatLeadPal]

I'm 63 and been lifting weights for 30 years. I have tried every program and nutrition under the sun and have never been able to gain muscle. I've come to the conclusion that I lost the genetic lottery when it comes to muscle.

[@h0mo3rectus69]

Eat more animal protein, its far more superior to other forms of protein

What is the obsession with being under 10% bodyfat?

[@thememefactory8108]

Jesus Christ!! $100 for Omega 3?! This is exactly why it’s so hard to be healthy. It’s sad that if we want to be healthy and eat/supplement correctly, it will cost you a weeks pay 🤯

[@ihatetoworkout]

or you could just eat lots of fatty fish high in Omega 3s like wild caught salmon and sardines. Ask yourself colon does it make sense to buy supplements of Omega-3 that are likely rancid or oxidized or you could just eat the foods they actually come from?

[@MedellínInsider-n3o]

What a "genius". The "genetic disposition" to putting on muscle is myth. What people putting on muscle do not understand is that that is just as unhealthy and dangerous as being just fatty. Being "khaliph(a) explains why he's obese, while thinking he is in the "best form" of his life. Tommy, kiddo, the age has nothing to do with building mass either. And when you get to your mid-40s to early 50s, you will understand how you spent all your life doing the wrong thing. Just like that kaliph. I have better things than to wait for that so here goes: I told you so. Stay strong.

[@Wolfmode9631]

[@teresametzler9155]

😢I hate this mentality of " I'm superior to 98% of the population because of going to the gym and working out" .....I do it for myself and my own benefits never to be better and feel superior to others. Maybe that's some CrossFitters mentality.....I've been doing CF for 10 years usually scaled but I get my workout in for me and me alone.

[@dk4366]

I agree. As soon as you start something to be better than someone else the wheels will eventually fall off. The best competition is yourself. Case in point I have a friend why started riding his bike to be able to beat me up a climb. He rode his bike twice and then gave up.

[@Corkfish1]

Especially when you really don't know if he's on PEDs

Come on.. this is just pure entertainment.. there are millions of videos like this on YT telling you to lift, eat clean and move - there is really nothing more to it. What confuses me is if Jason somehow claims natty which is just ridiculous. His honest answer for the question should be PEDs.
