At 58, and a non professional athlete, I wish I was focusing on the basic hinge, push, pull, press, squat, carry exercises with as much time doing mobility rather than the lower rep higher weight big 4 lifts with accessories that I did in my youth and middle age. In saying this I've only been focusing on the basic hinge, push, pull, press, squat, carry exercises with as much time doing mobility as I do lifting for the last few years, and my busted old joints are loving me for it, as for my mobility, it hasn't been this good for 30 years This has also helped cleaning out my training tool box to kettlebells, suspension trainer, ab roller and a mat to roll around on Am I as strong as I once was, nope, but my physique, mental and physical health, (good diet practices after a little stroke I had because of high cholesterol and blocked arteries) is alot better, and my joint aches and pains have reduced 10 fold Stay lean, mean and healthy for your retirement years, not a busted wreck trying to undo or deal with issues from poor choices Dying early would really wreck my retirement plans
@@DeanHenry-hm9bd I now do all the pre and post mobility stuff that comes up when you look in the programs in "Dan John University" workouts for 5 rounds, I do this on Mon & Thurs when doing bells, and Tue & Fri when doing suspension trainer. On Wed and weekends I do all of the mobility stuff back to back for 5 rounds. Prior to doing the mobility as Dan recommended, I was doing the "Limber 11". I find Dan's mobility programing covers alot more and links well. And doing all of them back to back gets me nice and warm and supple for the training and day ahead
Something I stumbled upon for the fasting period is this: Homemade sauerkraut. A couple of spoonfuls of sauerkraut will quiet the hunger monster and stabilize blood sugar. This was a combo of Ori Hofmekler and Andrew Huberman. Ori recommends chewing on greens in the morning. Huberman recommends ingesting some salt first thing in the morning to stabilize blood sugar. Sauerkraut has fit the bill perfectly!
Recommendation for the intermittent fasting question person: one way that I cut hunger, besides black coffee, was apple cider vinegar water. Ice cold water, w/ ACV, green tea, fresh pressed lemon and lime juice, good sea salt, stevia, all to taste. Drinking this throughout fasting window was invaluable. It was also my workout drink as I would work out just before my eating window. First meal was high protein, beef and eggs. Got proper sleep too. All this got me pretty lean.
Would love to hear your take on Testosterone, I work with a few people of, a certain age (from mid 30s to late 40s) that have suggested that it’s a good idea to look into taking to get to “optimum” levels. My whole thing is that once you’re on that train, there’s no real getting off. I understand that some may actually need it and recovery is naturally going to slow down as people get older, yet there seems to be a big push for everyone to increase or at least adjust T levels slightly (after listening to a combination of Huberman and Joe Rogan, who is typically sited to me by the aforementioned people). Would love to hear your take on this, thanks for your time, and for the podcast.
My thoughts are in the same direction as yours. I've seen a lot of men pursuing and subsequently prescribed T when it is really quite clear what they need is lifestyle intervention -- better eating, exercise, and sleep. As always, abuse does not negate proper use, and I'm sure there are plenty of legitimate cases for prescribing T, but lots of abuse would certainly appear to be the case, and I worry about the long term implications of so many relatively younger men getting on this stuff when they really shouldn't have.
Good stuff Pat. Could you please mention to Dan that Jujimufu did the infamous Litvinov workout. There is a video of him doing it and he also talked about it Dave Tate’s show. Dan will get a real kick out of it.
Hi Pat and John, awesome content, love the podcast! im 33yo and been working out 3 times a week doing the armor building complex with adding kettlebell swing + generous walk in the end. in your opinion, how long after doing a program should I switch the exercises to prevent injuries and longevity?
I would switch things up about every 8 - 12 weeks. You don't always need to switch exercises (often, anyway), but you can and should work in period de-loads and adjust training variables (frequency, volume, intensity, etc.). As always, it depends on the goal. What are you currently working towards?
@@supmuhhumbruh thanks for replying Pat, will change up a bit as suggested. Im working towards look good and feel good. Im super happy with the results im getting with kettlebells, im probably in the best shape I ever been 🤘
