My dad was fit and lean till his old age, his motto was “do not let your body get comfortable”, meaning that it has to experience uncomfortable sensations to make a strong mind that conquers the bodies desire to feel comfortable, hunger, thirst, heat, cold, bending, heavy work, walking, running,fasting, climbing, all this creates a better you.

[@ithinkthereforeitalk935]

It's a rather stupid quote. I am the kind of person who would train 3 times a day if his body allowed this. But it doesn't and I had to learn how to train smart. If you are too eager and pushing yourself to the limit, you' ll eventually get seriously injured/ overtrained/ frustrated/ stressed out all the time. Been there, done that. The qoutes you are citing are for people who have never exercised a lot, those who do understand the importance of periodization,meticulous planning and RECOVERY. Your mind is basically what scientists call the CNS if you overload it with excessive training your mind (the ability to think clearly, convince yourself, plan ahead) will be the first to go.

This is cool, way to go and hats off to all your hard work. 52 here and still looking great, nowhere near as good as you, but I'm happy. I think an important thing to understand is we're all different and not compare yourself to someone like Paul who has been at it hard his whole life. I'm staying lean and muscular by lifting 3x a week and cardio once along with good nutrition. Am I going to be flexing shirtless in a KZbin video like this one? No, I'm not that jacked and never will be. But I was shirtless at the pool last weekend and was the best looking man over 45 there, I even catch the occasional young lady checking me out (talk about an ego boost). So that's a nice real world example of how things can be for the average guy if he puts in the work.

He looks great. Inspiring 51 isn’t old. Keep working out. Sitting is the new smoking. I dead 400. Try not to go higher, but keep working. I’m 59 and have this same mind set.

[@johnkeros9109]

I'm 56 & lean, muscular. Eating very healthy & exercising will do it.

[@vinvin4884]

I'm 34 and I go to the gym multiple times a week. There are many times when I don't want to go. But I do it anyways. There's a great sense of freedom that comes from doing hard things that I'm tempted to avoid.

[@overkillblackjack2910]

Careful, Paul: if you are guilty of the following, please don't over generalize like so many well meaning people do. Some have issues like childhood trauma, etc. that can easily be mistaken for laziness, lack of will, etc. While you were envisioning your perfect body or whatnot at 8 years old, some of us were dealing with some pretty dysfunctional parents. With all due respect, I wonder if your childhood was idyllic. If so, please dont ever take that for granted. We dont all start at the same point. Your awesome willpower is likely the result of forces that shaped your life 40-50 years ago. I am not sure you are guilty of the following, but please don't leave your viewers with the belief that the only reason they don't reach their goals is due to forces entirely within their control. Congrats to you regardless.

[@aycarambas]

Lets not forget to mention how a supportive and understanding partner contributes to the gains. Working out with a clear mind without rushing to get home goes a long way.

[@12oldman]

The point is, it’s not how you look presently, it’s the journey attempting to reach a goal. It’s like everything else, start where you are what’s important is getting started.

[@HappyWolverine]

I'm 50, 10-12% bf year round with abs and I eat well played various sports as well and stayed consistent always pushing myself year after year and training smarter grind grind grind and LOVE it

[@chrisdonnell2575]

You're the man! I'm 53 lost 50lbs with 10 to go before visible abs. Agree lift smart and heavy and if trying to lose fat and gain muscle do giant sets no rest bench, step ups, battle bike, battle rope then chest again. Keep heart rate >130 and after do 15-30 min walk you'll burn 30% more calories.

[@allanwatts8361]

Paul is my fukin inspiration man..he let me know its possible to look like that natural...thank u for existing paul...ur awesome

[@TheDajohns]

Great video Paul, your mindset is rare and I appreciate it. 💪🏼👍

[@luvdelux10]

I'm 58 and try to keep active always! Never touched PED's. I snowboard with my daughters and their boyfriends. Not one can keep up with me on the mountain. lol Mental focus is key!

[@michealgabriel6561]

I love everything you said!!! You spoke so well!!! I am on the exact page with you. I just turned 60 and have been athletic and have built my body in the gym since I was 18.. I now have 4 children .and am about to ride my bicycle to the gym for a work out. I am 6ft and 180 pounds and will humbly and honestly say that I have been blessed by God to have a similar physique as yours. I have always been asked if I tare steroids. I am always told that I look 30. I am mot writing this to brag, but to want to hug you for speaking the truth. I was taught to always choose the hardest mist difficult path and choice and that my body is a secret temple and gift from God. I never have put anything unnatural in it. I love everything you said . I have subscribed to your channel and THANK YOU for your guidance .

[@VAISHNAVYOGA]

Thankyou Mr.Paul you are an inspiration.I also trying to make myself shredded naturally.I always remain natural.Many of my friends at same age look devastated without exercise most of them taking Antidepressants.But i think My Antidepressant is Workout.

[@Total_Body_Fitness_USA]

You are definitely the exception to the rule. I am 58 and been working out my entire life and at 5'7 I weight 165 pounds. I've also been in healthcare some 30 years and I know that most people won't go the extra mile to get what they desire in life. So, you are exactly right in everything that you stated in your video. However, just for clarification, TRT and HRT are not steroids. It is simply replacing hormones that decline with natural aging in the average human being that has NOT done what you have done when it comes to discipline working out and eating right. Due to that, their testosterone levels are tanked and when they do try and workout they have no motivation or desire to keep going because they see no results. We live in a "convenience" society. We want everything tomorrow! As a matter of fact, we want everything today! Problem is, a physique like you have is not achieved in one day, not even with extensive steroid use. So, as an exercise physiologist with years of training in functional medicine, I will say this. PROPER TRT/HRT can be beneficial in someone who has hormones that are lacking. As a matter of fact there are countless clinical trials showing an overall increase in mortality for those with low hormones. The key is balance! You can't inject 100mg per week of testosterone and think everything is good. For example, you have to address any thyroid issues first! If thyroid is good, then TRT may be an option. Are they severely obese? If so, more of the testosterone you do inject will get converted to estrogen and while some professionals think that estrogen is no big deal if you are on TRT, I am here to tell you that it's a very big deal and I have thousands of men I have worked with over the years. Also, if you inject too much at one time it gets converted to DHT and estrogen. So, TRT and HRT in the right hands of a qualified professional can do great things for men and women who are aging and desire a better quality of life. Of course, TRT/HRT is just one piece of the puzzle and there are many more things like genetics, workout routine, diet, overall lifestyle, and last but not least - WILLPOWER! Keep up the great work!

I feel I wasted my 30s, being married, working the grind of a desk job with a long commute, kids, home life… I let myself put my health in the backseat, rarely exercising, poor food choices, etc But now I’m in my 40s, I’m working remotely, kids are in school, and I’ve started reclaiming my time, my fitness and my nutrition. It’s much harder to get back to any level of fitness you may have had in your earlier life but it’s possible with dedication. Here’s to doing the next stage of life better so I’m around to enjoy the last part and be there for my family

[@GenghisKhan311]

Great work glad you stayed honest

[@FitnessAndLongevityWithHan]

As a ripped 52 year old myself - how he does it is not as hard as you think. Anyone can do it… you just have to “do it” 💪🏼

[@charliesierra6919]

Fantastic role model and inspiration! Thanks for your wisdom and perspectives!

[@RobertDannelly]

Paul, thank you first and foremost for being a Man of God. Also, go Daemon Deacons. I used to live in Winston-Salem NC / Clemmons NC. My family and I now live in Mooresville, NC. I am also 51, however sustained a major left leg quadriceps tendon tear from my knee this past June and I am on the path through Physical Therapy. Your message in this KZbin video is positive and motivating. I look forward to following your training and the journey after I get fully released from physical therapy. Heck maybe we can meet one day as I am so close to CLT.

[@xavierb4328]

Natural. I believe it. I am 47, and I look very good .. No arrogant, just confident.

[@nelsonthekinger]

This guy is on my long list of fit over 50 individuals! I really like him! Prove them wrong! Remember this: You are not too old, you are too lazy for the gains

[@carlcinardo2517]

I wish I could do these ab exercises that Paul is demonstrating. I have very bad arthritis in the right wrist, the pain would be excruciating!

[@aldorodriguez7310]

I just found out about you today. I subbed because I plan to follow this path natty like you inspired me to do. Starting at 38. I feel late to the party but I am trying to change my mindset based on what you said. If you are between 21 and 25 take advantage of your natural testosterone. Don’t wait like I did.

[@gettingfitwithcalisthenics2424]

I started body weight training 3 years ago at 44 now at 46 and I am in the best shape of mu life amd still have a lot to leran💪💪💪💪🔥🔥🔥

[@adammcnamara5027]

Legend, love when i find people with the same attitude. Im 52 train Jiu Jitsu 6 day’s a week, weight train 5 day’s a week, skate, surf and still live to compete.

[@sethking3]

Embrace and enjoy the struggle. Guy half my age 22 asked what gear I was on in the locker room and it made my year. He was shocked when I told him I only took creatine, 32 years of consistent training, and good diet. 🤙🏻

[@RAPHA-1982]

I’m 40, 5’8 like you and weigh around 180-190 (with fat tho) never touched any roids. Def not jacked like Paul but in decent shape for my age. I get off track with working out like many people do, but this type of talk inspires me man. You’re in great shape and I hope in the next ten years if I keep up with it I can be better than where I’m at now. Peace.

[@EdwardWallaceTechTalk]

Yes. sir! I turned 55, and although I do not look like you, yet, I have that same mind set. You have to believe you can do it, and stop saying I am too old. Thank you sir for the motivation :)

[@Mike_Virata]

I'm on my way, 47 and I train in Muay Thai, Kendo, Escrima, barbell lifting, kettlebells, calisthenics, Les Mills HIIT classes, Yoga, tennis, pickleball, ping pong. I train 1-2 hours a day weekdays, 2-3 weekends. 90% plant based diet and I look and feel great. My only work out supplement is creatine and the occasional protein shake and pre-workout (usually black coffee). Anything is possible my older friends! And to you young guys, you currently look the way you've spent the last 10 of your life so start early and your 30's and 40's will be amazing. If you start late, you'll thank yourself in 10 years.
