The Case for Resistance Training (Live longer, look better!)

[@thefisherking78]

I'm headed off to lift now, listening to this while I get fired up 😎

[@NakedTruthbyDrMelanie]

I’m at my best when I incorporate resistance training regularly. I’m petite and 5’3” and you can do this without looking too bulky! My appetite and metabolism is strong! Brain function peaks, and core strength improves, essential especially for adjusting patients.

[@Bigoldgrizzly1337]

Noted. Thanks Dr. Paul Saladino!

Just left the gym, listening on the road

[@margaretgibbs1007]

I practice my grip strength frequently playing tug of war with my dog. She is really strong!

[@oldschoolworks8517]

Resistance band training 4 days a week. It's been a game changer for me.

[@1972Celeste]

Body Recomposition…simultaneously burn fat while building muscle through weight lifting and increased animal protein in diet.

[@eltigre8978]

No doubt about it. I started lifting late at age 33. I'm 56 now and lift 3 days a week. No need to overtrain. Most people get hung up and end up overtraining.....lifting 5 or 6 days a week! That's crazy! Just lift heavy and infrequently. How is somebody going to repair muscle if they lift 5 to 6 days a week without drugs?

[@stevenqurkel2010]

Go light on the weights and do high volume

[@eltigre8978]

@@stevenqurkel2010 I'll have to try that. My volume hasn't been very high. I'll lighten up on the weights too.

[@Joshcaldwell24]

Light weights and high volume can wrk in cycles but naturals benefit best from 3 days a week heavy compounds

[@eltigre8978]

@@Joshcaldwell24 I tend to like lifting heavy and infrequent.

I like the ELK program....Efficiently Lean for Killing. Including what you mention...lean muscle. I'll add strong and lean for your skeletal size for the benefit of not carrying extra weight traversing mountains pursuing game. Whether fat OR muscle, no extra weight as to be efficiently lean. Eating wild meat, salmon, eggs and avacodo in 4 hours, fast and resistance during the 20 hours. Body fat runs scared.

Great informative video. Off to the gym now

[@armir_ko]

Too often I've seen women refrain from lifting a 5lb dumbbell because they think that they will suddenly turn into a freak of nature.

[@tomasersson9075]

Of course resistance traning is useful in many ways. But you do not have to lift heavy weights!. I think the most natural, easy and healty way for many of us is to use our own body Weight for strength training. A god mix of interval runnning and strength training with own body weight outside in the morning sun is the future and most sustainable🌞👍

[@TheMarkus107]

My issue with mass building is simply having to feed it.

[@lizaho246]

I eat lots of meat.. I lift weights.. Gradually got to 110kg quarter squats so far 5 x5 an chin ups 4x4 full body weight I'm 48kg.. I am looking and feeling the best I ever have.. Eat more than I ever have.. Love to see tone gains :)

[@bastianfuentes8335]

That's incredible! My best squat has been 115 kg but I'm 68 kg aprox, you're very strong! congratulations!

[@alienatedbeing7513]

I agree with most of this but I also believe calorie restriction seems to be a very powerful tool in regards to longevity

[@keithbarbaro7590]

what is the name of your podcast? I searched Paul Saladino MD and got nothing.

[@keithbarbaro7590]

@J Rose thanks.

[@dralexbrothers]

I am not saying resistance isn't important. But one single test for all cause mortality as a predictor is strength? That is highly variable between individuals and ages. You can't use one single test to predict all cause mortality. There is a high correlation between strength, cardiovascular fitness and metabolic fitness in all cause mortality.

[@grahamcrawford4203]

This is the fella who said fasting was nonsense 🤣🤣

[@wesleygaitan]

It is nonsense,fasting is for famine

[@lonnisplace1459]

Can you resistant train without going to the gym?

[@steelmacecontinuum8696]

Calisthenics, kettlebell, maces.

[@DrAJ_LatinAmerica]

Now we just have to get Sal to give up green juice and green drinks from "organifi". Slow poison. Next is to get them doing more Doug Brignole lifts and less full body compound moves.

[@urielwong]

👍👍🙏

[@illankasmith6362]

Dr. Saladino, could you address Ray Peat mentioning that meat is too high in folate and will cause premature aging and death… I don’t think that would have held up evolutionary, but then Google says modern Maasai don’t live much past 40. Hm, I don’t think they are in eminent danger like prehistoric people…

[@alistairbalistair9596]

Id like Paul to talk about this as well.

[@No_Frills_Carnivore]

That's a lie about Masai... They live till elderly just like anybody else.

[@illankasmith6362]

I said it wrong. Ray Peat mentioned high phosphate in meat

[@benjaminbritt7862]

There is more folate in Spinach than animal meat, and certainly not enough to cause problems. Ray Peats main issue with meat is that he thought excess tryptophan can increase the stress hormone serotonin which he hates

[@aristotelinho4543]

Bodybuilding is the single worst physical activity one can make and yes, the prejudice is right: you do get self-absorbed, you do get stiff (AF). It's the male counterpart of a beauty pageant. There's more athleticism in rope jumping or tree climbing (way more) than in bodybuilding. You want to get strong you do something else (weightlifting, calisthenics, etc.), you want to look pretty (dysmorphic) you do bodybuilding.

[@omp365]

bodybuilding isn't one thing. be more specific.

[@code5829]

@@omp365 most natural people won’t get anywhere near “too big” and you can always trim it back once you gain enough muscle and simply maintain that amount of muscle. Look at pro bodybuilders’ pictures when they were young and never lifted a weight. They already had a ton of muscle.

[@aristotelinho4543]

@@omp365 yes, yes it is. Bodybuilding is a vain, futile and unhealthy activity (not a sport, remember, since it has no athleticism involved but just prancing and clowning around). It is as specific as the activity defines itself, i.e., gaining muscle for its own sake and resembling what you believe strong men look like (simulacrum) without having its strength, athleticism or prowess. Form without content. All show and no go.

[@No_Frills_Carnivore]

Bit salty aren't you? Not everybody in the gym is dying to be a bodybuilder.. some are in there just looking to get a workout.. trying to balance their health and fitness. What exactly is it that you think bodybuilding is?? You sound like someone who is jealous of a friend's gains 🤷🏿

[@aristotelinho4543]

@@No_Frills_Carnivore not at all. I'm not talking about 'people-in-the-gym-looking-to-get-a-workout-trying-to-balance-health-and-fitness'. I was very specific, as is the activity. However, lifting weights as I THINK you're proposing is a nefarious spill from bodybuilding and should still be avoided (train biceps, train triceps, train hams, etc.). Your body is not a discombobulated and disconnected collection of parts but rather a whole evolved to be used as a whole. Consequently, you should exercise in such a way as to train it holistically (free weights, no gadgets, no benches, full range of motion, etc.).

[@InfiniteQuest86]

The misinformation doesn't even make sense. Whenever I tell people to lift, they are like but I don't want to get too big. WTF?! If it were easy to accidentally become ripped, don't you think everyone would be? Come back in 10 years after lifting every week, and we'll at least have a timeframe where you could have put on a lot of muscle.

I think alot of people who dont lift have the delusion that If they go to gym they will end up looking like Rich Piana. To look like him you have to spend most of your life doing steroids and living in gym not only that but also have the best genetics possible.
