Lethel just found your channel. I have 52 years training age. Your insights are brilliant. And you are an excellent communicator with a sincerity and honesty that is off the charts. I have used isometrics for decades in addition to weights, chest expanders, bodyweight and so on. I think if you are consistent in doing them isometrics can really strengthen all your tendons and ligaments. I started them when I bought a Bullworker years ago. A great chest exercise that should not hurt your joints is to put your two palms together in front of your chest and push them together for ten to twenty seconds. Do multiple holds and do them at different levels. Some high above your head some below your belt line. It gets different angles. Another great one is a static dip. You are not dipping up or down just staying at one position and putting as much of your bodyweight as you can and hold it for as long as you can. Work up to a minute. You can hold a static pushup about three inches off the ground if you don't have a dip bar. You can use a corner angle of your kitchen counters too if that works If you think about it you are creating an exercise where you have close to max tension without putting wear and tear on your joints. Good luck and just subscribed. Also I think chest expanders and resistance band exercises are excellent for shoulder health and maintaining mobility. Kept changing your name to Lethal as I typed

One and done is good enough for virtually. Especially for someone over 50. No need to destroy your body, moderation is key. Your body will reward you big time.

I keep it short and sweet, I set too failure is all we need. Keep it in the 15-20 rep range, you will feel like a new person. I’m in my 60’S I’m in the best shape ever. I wish I would have had this knowledge with I was younger, but with age comes wisdom. Your diet is the key, we must learn how to control our eating habits. Food is poison, your body will adjust to less food, I am a living witness. It will also increase your sex performance, it’s a wounderful experience! Too much food will hinder our bodies from healing itself, we are poisoning ourselves with too much processed food. It’s not real food, it will cause pain and verity of other diseases . Clean eating is the key to everything!

World is full of lies. Nice to here someone telling the truth about bodybuilding. Back in the day you couldn’t find the truth out about this and most people had to learn the hard way. It sad that these athletes were promoting lies with there fitness programs and supplements, instead of providing proper diets and fitness routines for naturals - they were all pushing whatever to make Money.

Hi Lethel, Great to see you back and about, your fitness tips and chats are motivational, I started on the 5BX fitness plan as an overweight youngster in 70s London, then found weights, started with Weider plastic weights a few years later and then loved the Iron, never took steroids but every sport supplement that was legal in uk, these days as an older lifter I lift lighter but just stick with the old school routines, God bless yourself,family,fellow viewers and "Thank you" for your great vids.

As a kid soaking up the joe weider magazine lies in the 80s, it took me a very long time to figure things I flushed money down the toilet with joes aminos acid and protein powder. My buddy paid big 💰 for ground up gorillas liver. Of course I’m sure it was just modified flour

Lethel whats your take on Leroy Colbert saying he was allways 100% natural? i personally find it hard to believe as he was about the same size of the likes of Arnold and Arnold was known to take a ton of roids in his day

Lifting heavy weights are not natural, our bodies can’t handle all of that abuse, our focus should be on vitality. Abusing our bodies will lead to a life of pain and misery.
