Anybody seen or heard of Ernest Tuff. 84 years old pulled 215kg recently in a british drug free comp, really inspiring - also shout out to Macbean Scottish fitness who is on youtube .. mid 60's still benches well over 4 plates in competition, Think about these fellas when your running yourself into the ground with steroids in your twenties and thirties.
I made this comment before I watched the video assuming it had something to do with lifting but apparently we don't actually talk about lifting on lifting channels anymore my bad
@@SUPER8ALTERN8He talks about lifting specifically a lot, however he also talks about things surrounding the fitness community in general, nothing wrong with it
Based on my observations, I haven't seen anything past 80 that I want any part of. To that point, I'm not going to spend my remaining years walking on eggshells.
I, on the other hand, will be aiming for having the impressive strength of this old man! And also having a wife much younger than me, just like him! 😂😂😂
Taking care of your health isn't walking on eggshells. If you'd rather be chair bound, diabetic and looking older while dying 20 years younger, that's on you.
Modern life has given us the illusion that emotional health comes solely from a romantic relationship and marriage. In the old days where people lived in villages and tribes, before all these social media made us become less than sociable, beside being at home with the wife/husband, one would likely spend a great deal of time among their peers, i.e. men with men, women with women, etc, and this camaraderie and friendship network most likely contributed a lot to one's emotional, mental wellbeing. So remember men and women, these days romantic relationships are hard, but do not settle for anything less than what you consider to be right. Don't compromise your principles just because you don't want to die alone. If you are a good friend and comrade, many will be there with you.
Dude it's just being part of a community that's important. Yea it's good for men to hang with men a d women with women but not just that by any stretch. Meet different people from different walks of life and form meaningful connections
@@MrShoblang Yea I agree. My point was to contrast the emphasis on marriage, which requires dating and hanging out with people of the opposite sex. A bunch of guys or gals who interact with one another in a sincere, healthy, supportive, strengthening, encouraging way is as good as any marriage or romantic relationship in terms of mental health.
I've got the long-life genes, I reckon, and I'm not gonna go gentle into that good night. Anything can happen, but my hope of a long, healthy life isn't hollow.
All of my oldest relatives hang out with friends, do physical activity every day, and more importantly have a reason to be alive. I agree with sincalir on the restriction of food helping. Issue is generally what builds muscle is the opposite of what increases lifespan.. but that's how she goes. Personally things like sleep and contentment I have are better when I do these things.
That guy is right it's luck and in the genes to live long there are no secrets my father 96 years old still drives still works out with weights and after dinner eats junk food
I mean your nose already has its own filtration system so if you were training wearing a mask breathing through your nose, no big deal, but if you're getting that thing wet it becomes useless and yes you can slowly suffocate yourself but I mean doctors and nurses were changing theirs every 60 to 90 minutes long before the pandemic. They don't stop viruses but they sure help mitigate absorption of other people's fluids. Bromley is right tho; it's not an excuse
Wow. Very insightful video. Was a little surprised to see the amount of 100 year olds casually smoking and drinking. Never picked up a cigarette or drink in my life mainly to practice good health but seeing this makes me think it’s not a bad idea to hit the bars every now and then 😂. Honestly man, I think the common theme for the 100 club is that they are all for the most part mentally happy people. Iv’e yet to see a 100 year old who was still severely depressed or a recluse. The healthy lifestyle due to physical training and diet also plays a part for sure but those things are already emphasized heavily by mainstream media outlets. Mental well-being can still sometimes be a little discounted due to the fact that it’s hard to measure and quantify being mentally healthy. There isn’t a lab value or a body weight that says you’re a happy person, you just feel like it. Point I’m getting at is that I guess it’s important for us to get out of a life of constant despair or sadness if we want to live longer. Of course you can still feel sad and lonely that’s fine, but when you feel that way for 24 hours multiplied by how many hours are in a month, then a whole year and then some? That’s just as bad as skipping on the workouts and eating corn syrup all day. My opinion but i think this was an important reminder to really ask ourselves if what we’re doing today will make us feel fulfillment and happiness in the long run.
I can hear about good relationships being extremely important until the cows come home, it's not going to do anything about the however many ridiculously expensive (if they exist at all) mental health treatments I'd need to have a chance to be in any, be it even a friendship. And I'm definitely not exceptional or even uncommon in this. More people than you'd think are fucked by genetics or a bad childhood on that score.
Easy for an American to "get with the program" and "make it" in life. Come and live in South Africa where electricity is out for 4-8 hours every day, the government is non-existent, people are fighting for employment, and minimum wage is 1.35 US Dollar per hour. Yes, 1.35 USD PER HOUR. People in first world countries have absolutely no idea about the reality of the world, and yet preach on how easy and straightforward it is to make all kinds of financial, social, romantic and status-related gainz. Videos like this apply only to 15% of the global male population.
Sure, but also, everyone’s ancestors were living in conditions either similarly bad or worse than yours. Yet somehow, they still eventually built a civilization that gives most people in the world technology that didn’t exist then, and a lifestyle that was impossible. If our primitive ancestors could slowly build civilization while living in poverty, what can you do? Something similar maybe. And then your grandchildren might live in a world that you view as ok instead of inadequate.
I am from a country that was built by people who lived in poverty and had no electricity. It doesn’t matter what I say. You have 80 years on this planet. You may as well try.
Hi bromley Ive been watching you for a few months now.Youve helped me break through my squat and bench plateus and are just entertaining to watch. I want other people to experience the same and so i want to run a dedicated tiktok account in your name. Yes it wil cost you if i get a certain amount of succes, but the growth you wil experience wil be unpresidented. Thanks for the help youve given when it comes to programs and levers. I hope you have a great day.
I think you are pretty patronizing to many people that are essentially debt slaves to their student loans. I am happily married, with two kids ... and I live and work in Abu Dhabi, where I get to see my kids at the end of the day, and for the moment, I'm not plagued with the two body problem of having two heads of households live far apart. I do this because I am blessed and it makes me happy, not because I wanted to live to be a 100. I maintain an active lifestyle as well and I don't have to be married to my job, largely because I was able to leave the country. Now I stand a better shot of supporting my kids while they grow up after having them ... probably too late in life. My wife is not American either. While I think it's very sweet you talk about companionship and commitment and self-discipline, you really really delved hard into victim blaming ... at 7 minutes.
I have no idea what student loans, where you live or what your wife's nationality has to do with anything in this video. As far as "victim blaming", there isn't a phrase I care less about in the English language than that one. The fact of bad things happening to you does not remove responsibility.
@AlexanderBromley getting your shit together doesn't make you entitled to lifelong partnerships and a healthy saving account. Incels say that. Life is infair, shit happens, you cope. But in 2020, as it ir was in 1920, a healthy home is a luxury, not a right. Otherwise, i actually still very much loved this post.
@@droaks2 Nothing entitles you to anything. But it is still your responsibility to be the best you can be, regardless. That includes making things work even under suboptimal circumstances, even relationships. When speaking of a healthy home: It is neither a luxury nor a right. It is a goal, one which YOU are responsible for achieving. If your spouse isn't cooperating: You chose the wrong spouse, or you aren't communicating effectively. Once you take full ownership of every shitty thing in your life, that's when improvement becomes possible.
