@emstar421 Each person is different for sure. I can appreciate your optimism👍🏾But after having To take a break after a very serious life changing health challenge and surgery and a long agonizing recovery, my body was never the same. I was not able to work out like I used to. Still have limitations. So results are not the same. At least not like I would like. But hey, we are our own worst critics. So personally it did turn to mush, but over time it's gotten better. Not 100% but as long as I do my best and try each day, progress rather than perfection.🙏🏾
That’s what John Travolta said. He said he could not sustain that body he had in the movie “Saturday Night Fever “ because it took too much work to keep a body like that. As soon as he stopped the exercises he did for that part, his body went back to its former shape.
@rozchristopherson648 Whew!!! It can be a bit much!! Now I understand for sure what my mom used to always say. "Physical beauty will fade over time, but your character, your heart is what truly matters" 🌹❤️
@@David-R. No, more like 99.99% of them. In terms of calisthenics probably all of them, at least in pull-ups. For anybody, wanting to compare this guy’s performance to other world level athletes, go watch Anatoly the power lifter videos. Watch how incredible he is at pull ups, but he can’t even come close to this guy - look at how much more effortlessly this guy does muscle ups and glides around the pull up bar compared to Anatoly. Anatoly is in his 20s, set some world records for powerlifting, and is insane in calisthenics/ power-to-weight ratio. Also he’s most likely on steroids since he broke some records… So top world record breaking athlete on steroids, vs guy in his 70s and can’t keep up? Yeah this guy can’t be compared to a 20 year old, this guy is like some thing I’ve never even remotely seen before. It doesn’t even make sense how fit this guy is. If he lived till 115 I wouldn’t be surprised lol.
That guy proves that age is really a matter of number, I like seeing that 71 year old young man. He inspires me a lot, he is an example for anyone to follow.
Don’t forget to take the “supplements” he’s taking. There is no natural way for a man that age to look like that And no judgement here. I plan on doing the same thing. Quality of life vs quantity of life
@@EdwardsNHHe is really short and his legs are unimpressive. Sincerely doubt he is on anabolics. Only his back looks unnatural but it seems to be just his torso being short. Reminds me of a reverse cyclist (They have anorexic upper body, sculpted lower body). The way his stomach protrudes and his ab insertions are asymmetrical, perhaps he could be on growth hormone.
@@firstlast2386that's an idiotic comment. He eats clean food and doesn't take any supplements. Take your negative comments back to your basement, and eat a tub of ice cream with your mother.
@@EdwardsNHmy grandfather has looked like this all his life, & i have great uncles that look like this that are 60 plus. They don't use supplements, only a high protein diet veggies & a gallon of water a day. They also go on frequent group hikes. They don't lift either , strictly calisthenics
I have seen many videos demonstrating the ab wheel rollout. OG is the first person to demonstrate and make me feel it in my abs. The key was to keep my toes down. Big salute for that💯💯
This guy is truly inspirational . Just because some people can’t get fit at a young age due to carelessness and laziness doesn’t mean that he can’t at an older age. It’s not impossible! It just takes serious work and dedication 💪🏽 For the naysayers and haters 😄😊
I was literally watching a video of him from last year and I was thinking to myself " I wonder how he's doing "!! Then I see this one and he got even BETTER and stronger!!!!! He's the definition, and the best example of the saying "Age is just a number"!! What a beast! I'm SO happy for him and I have a lot of respect and admiration for everything he does!! He's 71 !!!
62 years here. Started training at 19 years of age. Health is wealth. Combination of light cardio and weight training has given me the life and soul of youth and strength. This gentleman is super fit and awesome mindset. Great respect and discipline 👍🇺🇲
This is just a testament to what a lifestyle of proper care, exercise (Training -depending who you talk to) can do for your life. I am 52 yrs young and THIS video gives me positive energy and motivation to remain disciplined. RESPECT 👊🏿!
@@deathamdx6How are y’all THAT certain? I know old people from outside of the country that have muscles like this, they’re too poor to afford juice. So how are you certain?
Although we’re all going to die some day, this man shows that you have to make your time count…….every minute has to be quality time as he is clearly demonstrating in his 70’s! Life is short and he’s making the best of it…….My Hero! When I grow up I want to look half that good in my seventies! Much luv bro….❤ ✊🏾 💪🏾 🏋️♀️ 👊🏾👊🏼👊
As a fellow 72 year old athlete I can appreciate his disciplined approach. Thank you to his son for relaxed, useful commentary. As a road cyclist I clock up around 13000kms annually and balance it with ten mns daily of planks, push ups, squats and hamstring stretches but I’ll never have his abs😅…. Respect👏. Once again thank you for a fun and interesting video.
This guy’s great, inspiring and sweet too. He knows what he’s talking about when he tells people to get in shape by taking baby steps every day faithfully. That’s how you get amazing. God bless you brother for your positive example. ❤
I passed the HR office one day. They had an ab wheel and challenged me to do it. I'd never seen one. They had me start with just toes touching, ab wheel all the way out and I pulled up just like he does. Piece of cake. 25 years later, I tried an ab wheel again. 4 times from my knees and I was laid up with sore back for 2 weeks... Now, at 73, I can do it the "right" way again working towards his way...
I went from a 175lb football player to a 250lb guy trying to hit back into the shape. This shows me that my goals can be achieved with true dedication.
He has an exceptional diet in order to do this. I love ab roll outs but I do them the regular way and almost feel like a whimp after watching this guy. RESPECT!!
He can outdo even Anatoly when it comes to muscle ups/pull-ups. Compare the two yourself, it’s insane! Anatoly is a world record holding power lifter as well.
My uncle is in his 60’s and does it easy too. As teens me and my bros would visit him and he would always bring it out. Of course we always fell on our face eating dust.
This gives me inspiration… I workout 5 days a week…and sometimes I don’t want to go… but this amazing guy reminds me why I should never quit… Bro you are Awesome….!
I cannot believe how great he looks for 71 😮. He is in great shape. The guy doesn’t even have any wrinkles 😂. What an inspiration to us all in the fitness industry. Gives me something to strive at. Thanks
I just shared this with my son. I'm not here yet. I'll be 40 next year. Best believe I'm working on it. If God bless me with 70 years, I want to look like this. Big ups to Pops. You look great. Live long and keep teaching the youth dem. - Easy
I love this. Also just turned 40, and this is my final goal for power and control. Situps hurt my back, so it's nice to hear him say don't do them. I have been able to do the one on the knees, but I need much more power to do a lot of them.
I myself is a bodybuilder..I have already reached my 70's years old....I'm as fit as this guy..hats off..you could not maintain a physical condition like this if don't have a good life time
Yoooo OG is on another level!! Thanks for posting and please don't stop. He needs to inspire more people. I'm definitely motivated. BTW can yall do some videos on his nutrition and and supplements he might have taken over the years, when he started his fitness journey, etc. I'd love to hear the full story on his life. Peace and love
I saw an earlier video that said he didn't start calisthenics until his 40s and didn't start looking like that until then. He also said he's all natural and doesn't eat very much - one cooked meal a day.
Find a gym anywhere and ask if even half of them can perform this his way. I bet they can't. That is not to disparage anybody, no matter what age, young or old. It's to highlight what a phenomenal shape this man is. Heck, I can't do it, but then again, I'M OUT OF SHAPE! This man inspires me and I'm 63 years old.
@@therespectedlex9794 I agree, I see guys in my gym working out, who think they're fit, half his age - they definitely would struggle to keep up with the wheel - I tried the wheel, it's another level.....it's hard
This brother is so inspiring I recently turned 60 and I’m going to turn calisthenics into my religion too and your body and mindset keep me motivated!!! Thank you father and son!!!
Such a blessing to see you putting it down . You look great !!! A giant encouragement to us all to keep it going strong. Thank you for the motivation!!
I’m 64 years old, just started to workout again. You are in amazing shape for an OG. Hope to be in awesome shape like you in time. You are an inspiration for the rest of us OGs! Continue to prosper and stay in health (3John2). God bless!!
Impressive physical and mental discipline and control. That didn't happen overnight! Well done on the camera work showing key points of proper form and control. You make a very good team. Very motivating video! Thank you, BOTH!
This man is my hero! I just had shoulder surgery so I can't wait to start working out again. I'm a smaller guy only 5'5" and I been in shape my whole life but now I have some work to do once I'm healed and I can workout. I always thought I would be in this shape when I got to be his age, I'm 47 now and I'm from Jamaica.
A true inspirer… get the feeling people….he is showing you that a little goes a long way….and if you haven’t look at some of his pull up routines….AMAZING
Wow! Sir, I'm amazed at your strength and power at your age. Phenomenal! I'm 63, you have truly inspired me to keep it moving. Thank y you for sharing.
Shomari thank you for featuring your Father in these videos..This is what’s possible with the right mindset and discipline..So many young people are in the scrap pile of life in their 20’s and 30’s..Jahwah made the decision to change his life and this is the result of hard work..Certainly no faking it..Forget 70 years young or old take control of your life
Oh my age is truly nothing but a number.. This man just gave me the inspiration to be that healthy that mobile and that active at all through out life. Thank you! Blessings to you and yours 🙏🏾 ♥ 💪🏾
Thank you Sir ! I had been in great shape from my 30s to 50s but work stopped me. I'm 72 and inspired to work out again thanks to your video. You're my inspiration "old" man (not) ! Bless you and your son !
I’m a Semi over the road driver, I do have an Ab wheel on the truck, thank you and this brother for the knowledge of health + wealth toward my journey. 🤝✍️🔌
Thanks for this video. We all age prematurely because it's the standard in this society. It's what is expected of us. It doesn't have to be that way. This guy is normal. Premature aging is abnormal. God ment for us all to live happy, long, healthy lives just like this brother. Get started by walking around the block. Baby steps count. One push up per day for one week. Next week, do 2 push-ups per day. Add one extra push-up per week. Baby steps. Over time, you'll automatically add other exercises as you get stronger. I love this guy for saving lives with his videos.
Everything is only a mindset away. If you want longevity you must teach your mind to love what you do. I used to hate many things like winter but nowadays I love both winters and summers and look forward to both . Never been happier. I’m lucky started working out since I was very young and I’m still going strong to this day. Reason being that I love and enjoy it
Very inspiring, @ 62 yrs young, I definitely need to get back in the Gym more consistently. God Bless you my Brother. I was very encouraged watching you put on A Display.
I can't believe this man is in his 70's you got men in their 20's can't do this I wish him long life and great health 🙏 😅Apostle Dr Matthews much love and respect
🎉🎉braaap Braaap and braaap again ❤❤big up yourself father I do push up and ab wheel now I can see what is possible, maximum respect in every aspect...one
