This is a side of RFK I didn't know about and I'm impressed! I started working out by myself at work on our breaktime. We have a small area set aside with free weights and recently a cable workout setup. One of my coworkers started giving me pointers. I love that your channel emphasizes proper technique. I'm 63 and Arnold is one of my heroes! I'll never look like that but I want and know I can be a better me. Thank You!
@@jackthorsen what science has he lied about? And all other people highlighted on this channel have never lied about anything science based in their entire life? Wow, I wonder how they research that and wonder how you live with people that aren’t perfect.
@@francostacy7675 I would be surprised if any of the folks Jeff has promoted in the past lie as often and as dangerously as RFK Jr has. Make mistakes? Give bad advice unintentionally? Sure. RFK Jr is a master of gish gallop which makes him impossible to fact-check in real time, but here's a great breakdown of just one of his interviews: ruclips.net/video/sugCJNAPF9o/видео.htmlsi=sJQ9cvBvhX6ItRty
High rep (20 to 30 reps), medium weights doing 3 supersets at a time, then get 400 to 500 reps in under 30 minutes. Intensity is the key. I've done this for over 3 years, going to be 59 years young soon. It works for me.

@@LuckyCharms777their testosterone levels were probably 10x times higher than ours and the average height in Ancient Greece for men was 162cm which is 5.2 so they didn’t really need any TRT.
My son was born when I was 44 and I made a commitment at that time to be healthy for him for the rest of my life. I was 6’ tall and weighed 235 pounds at the time. Now I’m 70. I weigh 175 and work out with my trainer 3 times a week as well as one day on my own and I take long hikes 2 or 3 days a week. Recently my son, who is 25, came to one of the workouts with me. He stays in pretty good shape, runs and lifts regularly and eats a decent diet. I demolished him at the workout - he was sucking wind by the end of it and I was ready for more. Now he’s going to my trainer regularly. I know he’ll be kicking my butt in a few weeks but that’s fine - being able to do that at 70 was very satisfying! I’m not gonna lie - it gets harder to do this as you get older. But as I like to say, I never regret a workout! Keep going! It matters!
I'm 61. 6'2", I weigh 180lbs. I workout 5dys a wk, 1-3 hrs a day. My goal is to keep my body looking good till I'm 70,80, 90 if I'm so blessed. Your story is inspiring, thanks for sharing it.
My dad was born two years before Mr. Kennedy was, and he passed at 60. He ate right (he had type 1 diabetes, so he had to manage his nutrition his whole life), and he exercised regularly because his job, nursing, required a high degree of upper body strength. He didn't look half as good as Mr. Kennedy, hormone replacement or not. I try to live up to my father's example, but seeing someone like Mr. Kennedy, who lived longer than my father, is pretty damned inspiring.
I should flag your comment for the amount of times people, complete strangers, physically attacked me irl. Except I'm not that petty. Idkabout your health, sorry.
I wish I realized that when I was younger but it’s never too late. I’m in my 30s and I am healthier and look and feel better than ever because I started caring about myself enough to actually take care of myself by exercising, eating less processed food, trying to get good sleep, etc..
"You only get one body folks. Use it, keep it healthy, take care of it." and all you need is one hour out every 24 to keep fit, trim and healthy (along with fresh food and good sleep)
No reason you can not get it back , with assisted ones, bicep curls, lat pull downs - I went from none to a lot in 6 months as a 59 year old. Now add some weights every once and awhile, which I think helps with grip strength- like 25KG extra - TBF I lost 10Kg and gained muscle - no TRT though , just creatine. Want to have more 1 arm grip strength. Always a laugh watching a 60Kg you tuber telling you it's easy when you weight 90Kg . just realise progress in first couple of months is slow- takes 6 weeks to build strength . If older please warm up, plus warm muscles mean it's easier . Pullups, press-ups and squats - then cardio, movement/flexibility is all most people need to stay in shape - plus maybe some light weights to stand watching sport to swing around , raise to roof when team scores a goal/try/point/run/td etc in the lounge
I used to think at 62, almost 63, I was kiddin’ myself about stimulating muscle growth and it would be best if I concentrate on maintaining what I have and strive for an older ripped look. However, your encouragement about pushing to failure and the thought of,” What have I got to lose?” have given me some significant gains, so Thank you so much. I shall persevere.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼
To be fair, he’s a Kennedy. Unlike you and I, his WEALTH is his greatest wealth. Personal trainers, teams of doctors, any treatment he wants is just a phone call away for his personal assistant to make.
I think the most important thing that Jeff said in the video was to have a why; a deeper meaning for doing what you do. Years ago, I would workout and then stop after a few months. Time would pass and I would repeat the process. A little before I married, we found out that my fiancée had myotonic muscular dystrophy. Fast forward to five years into our marriage and my wife fell trying to get up from the couch. Her condition had progressed to the point that she was unable to get up off the floor. I went to help her up and I struggled immensely. When I was finally able to get her on the couch I was out of breath. I could tell by the look on her face that she was worried about how hard it was for me to help her knowing that she would require more assistance in the future. From then on, she became my wife. I had to improve all areas of my life so that I could better care for her. When she was weak, I had to be strong. If I gave up or slacked off, then her life would suffer. I strongly urge you to find your why and to remind yourself of it daily. God Bless and have a great week!
And God bless you sir for still marrying this woman, even though you knew she had a terrible disease. A lot of men would walk out, in fact, a lot of men did! Even when they were already married for years they would let their spouse down once they found out that she’s ill instead of supporting the one woman they once “loved”. You made a statement saying: “don’t ask what your wife can do for you, but ask yourself what you can do for your wife!” I praise you Sir and I hope that you and your wife have a happy and fulfilling life together. Thank you for sharing this story with us and please say hi to your wife for us and be so kind to wish her well. Thank you.
For me there are several reasons. obviously you should work out just for the simple pleasure of being in physical shape, something that will help you with every aspect of your life. Another reason is to be a good role-model for my two sons. No doubt children copy their parents to a large degree. Teaching them how to lead a healthy life needs to include you setting a good example by not being a couch potato that tells them to workout. Talk the talk and walk the walk 🙂
@@seneca1932 Right ? We should be concerned with how he manages to be in amazing shape at 70 ? Shit...compare this man to the current potus and all previous potus' for which we have enough footage to compare. We've had other potus' that weren't fat like donald, but how many have we had that looked like RFK ? Just in my lifetime; Bush sr/jr., Clinton, Obama, Trump, Biden... Not one of those dudes is this fit.
@@raifsevrence Absolutely! My thoughts exactly. However, George W. Bush was also pretty fit. Amazing how many men do not put in the time or energy to preserve the most important factors of good health - exercise, eating and mental conditioning. He is a prime example of "your health is your greatest wealth!"
Thanks Jeff. I turned 70 early this year and started working out. This video is excellent. I've been overdoing it, which isn't healthy or safe. This has really helped me. Thanks again.
So true. I'm about to be 57 and I have shortened my workouts to 45 minutes or less. In the old days, I might have done chest and shoulders, Back and arms, etc. Now I just do chest on one day, back on another, Tris-Bis (in that order), and legs on day 4. I do deadlifts and squats since these have been shown to stimulate testosterone production. 4 days on, and one day off still allows me to work every 'part' twice a week. After 40+ years of powerlifting and bodybuilding, this seems to be the best solution to prevent injuries and stimulate growth. At 5-9 and 230, this seems to be true.
I am 68 and following similar regimen. Most important to me is to avoid injuries as I get older and have complete functional movement. Good for him for being an example to older men and women.
Bingo. I'm 20 years your junior and have WAY too many injuries from accidents that weren't my fault and also one bad one from being stupid. They HAUNT you. I am NEVER not in pain. Just depends on how much
@@holzhausholz8215 As you grow older you body releases smaller and smaller amounts of Testosterone. What he is doing is Testosterone Replacement Therapy which is good when you get older
@@holzhausholz8215 Isn't TRT just the male version of bioidentical HRT, like what menopausal women have been prescribed by their gynecologists for decades (estrogen, progesterone, etc.) to feel better? Honest question!
53 and I found a great trainer last year. I am down almost 50 pounds and stronger than ever. I can play and run with my grandkids and try to encourage my friends to stop drinking, watching TV and get out there and do stuff. I hope at 70 I am still kicking it hard like him
That’s amazing but you honestly don’t need a trainer, unless you don’t have the motivation to get to the gym in the first place, you’ve already learned everything he has to offer you
Thanks Jeff for giving RFK Jr some love. Politics is a crazy world, especially these days. His openness about his fitness regimen is akin to his openness about his social/political beliefs. May we all be that jacked at age 70!
Nice. The dictum "use it or lose it" is true, and, of course, people who use it, don't lose it. Doing what you're doing, at age 53, you are still young.
Nice I'm 52 and the same although I stick to the athleanx 100 regime now as my elbows let me down over the last few years, just subbed to you're channel 👍
As a guy in his 50's who has been working out many years, who is not on TRT and has never taken steroids, it is impossible for me today to do my first set and go to failure. One of the things that have changed for me with age is the need to warm up more. I use my first two sets just to loosen my joints with very little weight, then the intensity starts to kick in.
I'm 66. I do the same. I start out with very medium weights that I do easily, just to loosen and warm up. Then I add weight every set until I hit failure.
RFK Jr is an inspiration and he walks his talk! It is refreshing to see all this dialog around health, fitness, and food on the national stage. Nothing and no one is perfect. But this change is much needed.
Thank you! You are so generous with your information Jeff. You don't hold back. Such honesty, genuine integrity, golden heart, kindness, and a heart felt care for your fans. Thank you for being real. You are a gift.
RFK looks great for his age and a very fair analysis from Jeff. My Dad at 85 still does weights twice a week and vigorous walks three days. I also called him the other day to ask when he wanted a hand to clear some old pretty large shrubs from the end of his garden ready to replace the fence....he'd done it, chopped up and taken them to the tip!!
My dad's 83 same thing. Former bodybuilder professionally and a tremendous all-around athlete. Thanks Dad for your genetics.... That said, I considered a very unfair analysis and assessment because the man has no lived experience with aging, the shoulders, the elbows, the knees, and the hips. You have no idea what's waiting for you. RFK Jr ignores the pain but does not do full range motion because when you get older I'm going to tell you that is a no-go often not possible without doing more damage than hypertrophy. Extensive inflammation can put the kibosh on your joints at that age so don't criticize him for his form. It's so weak myopic and narrow in scope of understanding the aging process. I don't even know where to begin criticizing this "expert."
@@Pucker-it-up No kidding! Analyzing this 70 year old man like he's 27 is just plain anal in itself. Let's give it up for him for being able to do what he is doing, ffs.
Brother, I’ve been training for 40 years and it’s clearly you really know your stuff anytime I see somebody benching and they don’t have their thumbs on the outside. I know they haven’t been trained properly many little giveaways but you’re doing a great job. I’m gonna start watching your channellooking good.
He's juiced to the gills to look good not be healthy....all these protein guzzling, needle jabbing wankers have balls the size of peanuts and their hearts and other organs are stressed and wear out fast......the thing is, you don't need all those needles to look good and be healthy, but it takes work.
He should be on trt at 70 . Good for him . I’m 45 and have been on it for 5 years . I was a Muay Thai fighter when I was young and all the low blows did damage to the boys and killed my testosterone. Low t is hell ! Get checked guys . It’s worth it
i checked my test at 49, after feeling increasingly like shit. high amount of anxiety among other things. clocked in at 150. absolutely not able to put on any muscle for years, even though i trained really hard. TRT is being used very carefully in my country, bumping me up to about 600 and sliding to about 350 after 2.5 months for the next shot. it changed my life from so many angles. got the best body ever, including six-pack, at 52. people regularly think i'm lying about my age 🙂 i was probably always low T, never got this kind of results from the gym, even though i trained hard for decades. didn't change my training at all after TRT.
@@B33t_R007 that sounds amazing but what about nuts shrinking and libido issues that I often hear about from most men on TRT? There must be ways to get testosterone up naturally.
Thanks for this post, Jeff! You and RFK make a great point regarding the responsibility of each of us to optomize our health, especially strength and mobility, as we age. It's one aspect of our lives over which we all have control.
As a 68 year old male, I can relate to and admire RFK Jr. Without TRT, I surprised myself and completed the 5 sets of 12 pull ups and 5 sets of 40 push ups (better form on both than RFK). Thanks to Jeff's workouts and supplements, I can still hit it pretty hard 4-5 days a week. Keep moving is crucial.
That's pretty dang good. I've been training and doing pullups for years and years, and basically on my first set I can do 12+, but the numbers drops set by set rapidly from there on and on fourth set I'm lucky if I get 5 at 41 years old.
I would appreciate an episode aimed at senior lifters: types of exercises, reps and types, working around (past) injuries, nutrient suggestions for older population. I am a 74 y/o woman cancer patient. Not one of my docs supports my fitness training, and I have had certified trainers that have caused injuries, so I am pretty much on my own. Thanks.
thank you for bringing a spotlight to RFK and I appreciate something refreshing and not a smear piece on who i believe might just be the best candidate to run for president in my lifetime #Kennedy24 🇺🇸
thanks. I am 58 and it is harder than when I was 48 or 38 or 28....I don't know if I can do any reps like he does at 70...I have to applaud his mindset at 70.
For those who keep asking, Kennedy, 69, previously revealed he was diagnosed in his early 40s with a rare neurological condition called spasmodic dysphonia
@@arthurbishop3173don't let ignorance guide your decision on who to vote for, the guy has a bad voice but what he says is very important. No other candidate has a plan to address chronic disease and clean foods
I love his why and can relate. I have no desire to be a couch potato. His message about health being a social obligation is so spot on. Thanks, Jeff!! Great multifaceted review!! 💙💪🏼
I been on TRT for 11 years and I still got great muscle mass still at 75 years old! I've been lifting weights since 1972 consistently but I have to admit they do seem a lot heavier in the last couple! Warms ups are more important and more necessary now than ever than in the past!! Form is everything, a lot more important than heavier weight!
This was informative, thank you. I'm 67. I'm fit, but I don't look like RFK Jr. Mostly I cycle to stay fit. But I do some weight-training; my condo complex does have a decent weight room. Watching this, there are a few things I think I will tweak about my weight routine. I've become totally plant-based in my diet as I've aged to protect my heart. I don't county my macros religiously, but I do structure my basic diet around making sure I get the right amounts of protein, carbs and fat. I also roughly count my daily caloric intake, but I don't obsess about it. I don't take supplements nor buy into any de-aging schemes. I do take a popular brand of men's multivitamin daily. I try to do most of my eating in an 8 hour window, but it's not always possible. You are so right, Jeff, about allowing flexibility in your food intake routine to allow for social commitments. Don't become so rigid that you neglect other parts of your life. This is all working well for me. I'm healthy, feel great and am still very active.
Over the last 55 years of training for me a lot has changed...injuries are real..At 65 i do my best and workout for health..you can't always do perfect form and full range of motion like in your teens,20s,30s etc...the key is adjust your workouts to achieve best results...70 is no joke and this guy is most definitely training hard for his age...i myself take zero drugs,so cant recover as well as him. .i still want to train hard,but i have learned cutting back and eliminating certain exercises definitely benefits me rather than hurting..i train instinctively ,i always do different workouts every workout..i stop when i feel i did enough..for decades i over trained and ate a ton of food plus protein power etc..now i eat 2 meals a day...
I’m 65 and am a lot like you. I still weight train 4 days a week and want to be able to lift the rest of my life. No drugs ever and not far behind him.
I started using creatine 2 years ago and noticed a nice improvement in recovery time (and other benefits). If you don't take it, I would highly recommend it. Train almost everyday at 68.
Imagine this man at the helm! His major focus will be on the chronic disease epidemic and health. Considering half of our children are now obese, or overweight, we are in a crisis. Let’s get RFK into office and heal our nation.
It wont happen president doesn't have free reign better wake up. It would be beautiful if that were possible but you gotta understand who he would be fighting against which is big pharma and the fda and the who
I'm the same age and he is a great example and superb role model for older people. A few years ago my sons coerced me into the Gym, maintaining that resistance training was essential for someone my age. I'd always cycled 2-300kms a week so I was fit, but was managing a bad lower back and constant upper body fatigue. I have a 3 day split routine and I have not looked back. I'm 6' 4' and 220 lbs, so I still have some weight challenges, but compared to most of my cohort I'm in very good shape. There's no better feeling than when you've finished a workout
I'm 67 years old, started back in the gym 2 1/2 years ago after a 12 year 'hiatus'. I'm 6'1", and weighed 228 lbs @ about 37% bodyfat. I am now 195lbs and 17% BF, having also gained a lot of muscle. I have torn rotator cuffs in both shoulders, so I do a lot of pullups and other 'pull' exercises along with legs, cardio, etc. About 8 months ago I went onto TRT for the same reasons RFK did... life extension and enjoyment, but even before then, I would be surprised when someone would say, "You're really fit", thinking they meant for my age, Perhaps they were, but I don't care. I don't do all that to look better, but rather to feel better. Looking better is simply a natural outcome of doing the work. When someone asks me how I do it, I tell them, "Two words....commitment and discipline---neither of which work without the other". I just hope I'll be blessed enough to do this far into my 80's.
@@Sir_Godz Probably not stroke but similar brain related problems. Its a neurological disorder from damage to parts of the brain. He has commented on having a brain parasite at one point which may have contributed. It can also be partly genetic.
I am happy my 79 yr old husband takes the hormone. His body and mind are in great shape.... and the work around our place keeps him active.... and healthy.... regular check ups maintain that health also... .
This was interesting, not a fan of RFK jr, but I’m 69 and can relate to to his attention to fitness to be able to enjoy life! I enjoyed your insight Jeff as usual. Thanks
And what would those be? His insistence on proper oversight on medicines, or his willingness to fight the corruption of our various agencies, or his lack of support for the forever wars? Oh maybe his Israel support which all candidates have?

trt is amazing! i’m 50 and have been on it for a year. i’m down 15 lbs. (6’4” 240) energy, motivation and focus off the charts. strength/fitness up. my recovery after a hard work out use to be 3/4 days of stiff joints and sore muscles now it’s 36 hrs usually less. yesterday i mountain biked 17 miles and this morning i feel great and could easily ride tonight! i’ve complained about the lack of all that since 42/44 and kept getting told “well you are getting older” “that’s a natural part of aging” men get checked! if your Ts below 400 you’re not doing yourself any favors by just toughening it out or accepting getting old.
Everything you’re saying about age, frequency and recovery rate is spot on. At 54 years old, I am in recovery at a minimum of three days a week and in some cases, I take an entire week off every 3 to 4 weeks and pursue non-exercise regiments like judo and biking. The exercise regimen for me it’s 3 to 4 days for about an hour and a half on particular body parts and 70% of it is bodyweight / gymnastic routine
I’m not taking any steroids I’m just in TRT 😆 As long as your doctor gives it to you it’s ok, that’s why we have had an opioid pandemic the last 20 years (recovering addict myself) because the doctor said it would help.
Discipline, commitment, and responsibility. Health is beyond wealth, teaching a society to get rich, at all cost is everything. He is a model critic the methods, but his reasons are on the mark. RFK2024
Love RFK Jr. One thing this video really doesn't cover that I think is important to remember is that he's been working out and taking care of himself most of his life. That's a lifetime of building solid strength and fitness. While we should take up fitness no matter what our age, condition or circumstances, starting out early has so many advantages.
I am 65. Used to go to the gym 4 days a week. Now I go 2 times a week sometimes once. More recovery. I am on TRT. Go to failure. Mike Mentzer approach. I feel better with more energy. Actually have some growth. Starting creatinine. Never stop!!
While I personally dislike Kennedy's political platform, he deserves a ton of credit for transparency with his exogenous hormone use. There's no reason why movie stars can't acknowledge the same protocols when they do interviews on their diet, exercise regimens, etc.
TRT is no big deal. If youre low in test you should be on it. Im on it for the last two years. I feel great. My levels are that of a young man in his prime. Why let age take you down if there's something you can do about it.
My guess is he was in good shape most of his life, not coming into it grossly out of shape in late adulthood...the TRT just helps him maintain in short intense workouts what he built as a younger person
I agree, he worked out most of his life and stayed active. No injury or health issues is also a plus. Many of us working guys have ruined backs and knees that long took us out of lifting or sports.
Considering John F. Kennedy’s work on the health of Americans in the 60s, RFK seems to be following his advice as well. I’m still inspired by the work at La Sierra High and their fitness program at the time. If you have not seen the videos about the high school, I would certainly encourage you to do a quick search on it and reflect on your surroundings and compare it to the kids of that time. Those kids were machines!💪
Great program. RFK at 70 can workout any way he likes as you point out, as long as he is working out. The important thing is he is staying active at an age when most have long since given up on any kind of exercise. I am 66 and I workout every day. Weights on Monday cycle or elliptical on Tuesday and so on. Intermittent fasting for 3 years now and despite having cancer I feel great. Tumor the size of a rat removed from my small intestine in 2016, never had any chemo or radiation, still going. It's all about forming good habits not bad ones.
I'm in my mid-sixties and do a full body workout every other day. I have had five major surgeries on body parts over the last twenty-five years. Back, both shoulders, and both hands. I was born with severe asthma on top of that. I work out and am still progressing up with weights. Four sets of 8 @ 80% or higher on every exercise for about 11/2 hours. I take two days in a row off only if I need to. I have been in constant pain for twenty-five years. Doctors said I had to live with it. I have, but I choose the way I live with it. I decided that I would rather hurt and look great. So I will keep going. Not trying is the only way you can lift weights or workout wrong. We are all different. We do what works for us. Not what you or anyone else thinks we should be doing. Thank you. My opinion based on real life experience. Shaming people is why they stay fat and unhealthy. Never tell anyone what they should do. It is a much more powerful statement when you only tell them what you did.
I'm 71 yo. MWF one hour of weights with 2 minute breaks, 16 exercises in all, heavy, (ex. dumbbell bench press 15 X @ 45lb.) finish up with 5 full extension pull ups, 10 dips and a 1.5 minute hang. TuThS one hour of ab work, stretching and balance exercises, finish up with step box and 1.5 minute hang. Tuesdays and Saturdays, 3 mile run (20 minutes); Thursdays and Sundays, HIIT: 5 X all out run up 120 yd long12% grade asphalt road hill. Lots of supplements from whey powder to Creatine. Kudos to RFK Jr for making the time to work out; he's a very busy guy. I still work part time, but make working out a priority. "Don't let the Old Man In"!
What do you do for "1 hour of ab work"? Look into adding these supplements: AlphaGPC 1.2g/day, ALCAR 2g/day, RALA 600mg/day, Astaxanthin 12-24mg/day. Big hitters, worth the money.Whey is whatever, just eat beef/eggs, unless it's a cost-saving measure.
@@user-ue4he3li8b For abs, I do 20 different exercises from Overhead weighted side stretches and Suck ins to Ab rolls and Raised leg crunches. Decline sit ups, Russian twists and Dip bar knee lifts are my favorites. Instead of doing sets, I just move on to the next exercise. Heavy protein, four eggs a day plus beef. (5'11" 160lb). I'll check out your sup list. Thanks.
"Don't let the Old Man In"! That's a quote from Clint Eastwood when asked about his advice for aging well. I heard it a few years ago and it's been my motto since then too. I ride up a mountain about 4 or 5 times per week, do a few push ups and chin ups, sometimes a few kicks when brushing my teeth and eat more green leaf veggies than I like. Another quote that rang true to me was from another actor, Dolf Lungren on maintaining a fit and trim body (paraphrased) "there's 24 hours in a day and all you need to do is exercise for 1 of those hours to maintain a fit and healthy body."
He's right on with the best info out there for us older guys. Lighter weight and higher reps seen from that perspective his weight is not all that light and unbelievable with those pull-ups!
53, been very regular at the gym for 10+ years. I max-out quite a few of the machines, 10 rep nice sets standing arm curls (50kgs on 12kg ezybar), almost back to 1000lbs on the leg press, 18 pull-ups, 3 nice muscle-ups, etc. But this year started being lethargic a lot, suddenly noticing slower recovery... Had never taken anything. A buddy convinced me to to finally start TRT, nothing over the top, sticking to prescription - but boy, what a wonderful difference. Feeling great, training better, noticeably growing muscle again. Actually wish I'd taken people's advice & started in my 40's.

Weird choice for a science-based channel to positively highlight a guy known for lying about science as part of a long grift.
This is a side of RFK I didn't know about and I'm impressed!
I started working out by myself at work on our breaktime. We have a small area set aside with free weights and recently a cable workout setup.
One of my coworkers started giving me pointers.
I love that your channel emphasizes proper technique.
I'm 63 and Arnold is one of my heroes!
I'll never look like that but I want and know I can be a better me.
Thank You!
@@jackthorsen what science has he lied about?
And all other people highlighted on this channel have never lied about anything science based in their entire life? Wow, I wonder how they research that and wonder how you live with people that aren’t perfect.
@@francostacy7675 I would be surprised if any of the folks Jeff has promoted in the past lie as often and as dangerously as RFK Jr has. Make mistakes? Give bad advice unintentionally? Sure.
RFK Jr is a master of gish gallop which makes him impossible to fact-check in real time, but here's a great breakdown of just one of his interviews:

High rep (20 to 30 reps), medium weights doing 3 supersets at a time, then get 400 to 500 reps in under 30 minutes. Intensity is the key. I've done this for over 3 years, going to be 59 years young soon. It works for me.
To be above ground at 70 is a gift. To still be hitting the gym at 70 is a godsend.
70 is young. Average lifespan for a male in America is 75

My son was born when I was 44 and I made a commitment at that time to be healthy for him for the rest of my life. I was 6’ tall and weighed 235 pounds at the time. Now I’m 70. I weigh 175 and work out with my trainer 3 times a week as well as one day on my own and I take long hikes 2 or 3 days a week. Recently my son, who is 25, came to one of the workouts with me. He stays in pretty good shape, runs and lifts regularly and eats a decent diet. I demolished him at the workout - he was sucking wind by the end of it and I was ready for more. Now he’s going to my trainer regularly. I know he’ll be kicking my butt in a few weeks but that’s fine - being able to do that at 70 was very satisfying! I’m not gonna lie - it gets harder to do this as you get older. But as I like to say, I never regret a workout! Keep going! It matters!
Legend by name, legend by nature
You are amazing, keep it up!
Great dad!
I'm 61. 6'2", I weigh 180lbs. I workout 5dys a wk, 1-3 hrs a day. My goal is to keep my body looking good till I'm 70,80, 90 if I'm so blessed. Your story is inspiring, thanks for sharing it.

He is in the gym. He is better than 75% of the population. That's all that is needed.
Better make that 98% bro.
99%
My dad was born two years before Mr. Kennedy was, and he passed at 60. He ate right (he had type 1 diabetes, so he had to manage his nutrition his whole life), and he exercised regularly because his job, nursing, required a high degree of upper body strength. He didn't look half as good as Mr. Kennedy, hormone replacement or not. I try to live up to my father's example, but seeing someone like Mr. Kennedy, who lived longer than my father, is pretty damned inspiring.
I show my respect to your father bro, he lived like a warrior.
Look up insulin resistance and glucose issues!
With all due respect to your loss, the average man in the United States lives longer than your father. I’m sorry he had such struggles.

I wish I realized that when I was younger but it’s never too late. I’m in my 30s and I am healthier and look and feel better than ever because I started caring about myself enough to actually take care of myself by exercising, eating less processed food, trying to get good sleep, etc..

I’m 86 yrs old. Would this work for me. I lift 3 day’s a week
Honestly I lost the ability to do a single pull up so this old man banging out crappy ones still puts me to shame
Comparison is the thief of joy. You still got something you can do.
@@HS-cf8lz no doubt. I’ve been doing my burpees and worked up from about 50 to 105, time to slowly add in some pull ups
@@gourdbox Now thats something keep it up!🙂
No reason you can not get it back , with assisted ones, bicep curls, lat pull downs - I went from none to a lot in 6 months as a 59 year old. Now add some weights every once and awhile, which I think helps with grip strength- like 25KG extra - TBF I lost 10Kg and gained muscle - no TRT though , just creatine. Want to have more 1 arm grip strength. Always a laugh watching a 60Kg you tuber telling you it's easy when you weight 90Kg . just realise progress in first couple of months is slow- takes 6 weeks to build strength . If older please warm up, plus warm muscles mean it's easier . Pullups, press-ups and squats - then cardio, movement/flexibility is all most people need to stay in shape - plus maybe some light weights to stand watching sport to swing around , raise to roof when team scores a goal/try/point/run/td etc in the lounge
RFK is not letting the old man in. He looks great!
I used to think at 62, almost 63, I was kiddin’ myself about stimulating muscle growth and it would be best if I concentrate on maintaining what I have and strive for an older ripped look. However, your encouragement about pushing to failure and the thought of,” What have I got to lose?” have given me some significant gains, so Thank you so much. I shall persevere.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼
Indeed. At 58 I push to failure and the muscle does grow
I love it

@@WVmountainsurf-rg6fe That's not what I said or implied. Learn to comprehend what you read.
I think the most important thing that Jeff said in the video was to have a why; a deeper meaning for doing what you do. Years ago, I would workout and then stop after a few months. Time would pass and I would repeat the process. A little before I married, we found out that my fiancée had myotonic muscular dystrophy. Fast forward to five years into our marriage and my wife fell trying to get up from the couch. Her condition had progressed to the point that she was unable to get up off the floor. I went to help her up and I struggled immensely. When I was finally able to get her on the couch I was out of breath. I could tell by the look on her face that she was worried about how hard it was for me to help her knowing that she would require more assistance in the future. From then on, she became my wife. I had to improve all areas of my life so that I could better care for her. When she was weak, I had to be strong. If I gave up or slacked off, then her life would suffer. I strongly urge you to find your why and to remind yourself of it daily. God Bless and have a great week!
And God bless you sir for still marrying this woman, even though you knew she had a terrible disease.
A lot of men would walk out, in fact, a lot of men did!
Even when they were already married for years they would let their spouse down once they found out that she’s ill instead of supporting the one woman they once “loved”.
You made a statement saying: “don’t ask what your wife can do for you, but ask yourself what you can do for your wife!”
I praise you Sir and I hope that you and your wife have a happy and fulfilling life together.
Thank you for sharing this story with us and please say hi to your wife for us and be so kind to wish her well.
Thank you.
Husband of the year, right here 😊
What a beautiful story. Such a positive way of thinking about a tough situation.
For me there are several reasons. obviously you should work out just for the simple pleasure of being in physical shape, something that will help you with every aspect of your life. Another reason is to be a good role-model for my two sons. No doubt children copy their parents to a large degree. Teaching them how to lead a healthy life needs to include you setting a good example by not being a couch potato that tells them to workout. Talk the talk and walk the walk 🙂

@@DavidPerez-zt3qqYou are posting this on every comment. You are a bot. 😂😂😂
Thanks Jeff. I turned 70 early this year and started working out. This video is excellent. I've been overdoing it, which isn't healthy or safe. This has really helped me. Thanks again.
So true. I'm about to be 57 and I have shortened my workouts to 45 minutes or less. In the old days, I might have done chest and shoulders, Back and arms, etc. Now I just do chest on one day, back on another, Tris-Bis (in that order), and legs on day 4. I do deadlifts and squats since these have been shown to stimulate testosterone production. 4 days on, and one day off still allows me to work every 'part' twice a week. After 40+ years of powerlifting and bodybuilding, this seems to be the best solution to prevent injuries and stimulate growth. At 5-9 and 230, this seems to be true.
I am 68 and following similar regimen. Most important to me is to avoid injuries as I get older and have complete functional movement. Good for him for being an example to older men and women.
Bingo. I'm 20 years your junior and have WAY too many injuries from accidents that weren't my fault and also one bad one from being stupid. They HAUNT you. I am NEVER not in pain. Just depends on how much

This was such a perfect way to give RFK a shout out on a fitness channel while also staying apolitical.
53 and I found a great trainer last year. I am down almost 50 pounds and stronger than ever. I can play and run with my grandkids and try to encourage my friends to stop drinking, watching TV and get out there and do stuff. I hope at 70 I am still kicking it hard like him
That’s amazing but you honestly don’t need a trainer, unless you don’t have the motivation to get to the gym in the first place, you’ve already learned everything he has to offer you
Thanks Jeff for giving RFK Jr some love. Politics is a crazy world, especially these days. His openness about his fitness regimen is akin to his openness about his social/political beliefs. May we all be that jacked at age 70!
Started training in my teens just ate sensibly and pushed it to the limit still doing it at 53 years old!!!
Glad to see you prove it on your channel garageman keep it up old man 💪
Nice. The dictum "use it or lose it" is true, and, of course, people who use it, don't lose it. Doing what you're doing, at age 53, you are still young.
Holy cr*p garageman subbed👊
Good job 👏
Nice I'm 52 and the same although I stick to the athleanx 100 regime now as my elbows let me down over the last few years, just subbed to you're channel 👍
As a guy in his 50's who has been working out many years, who is not on TRT and has never taken steroids, it is impossible for me today to do my first set and go to failure. One of the things that have changed for me with age is the need to warm up more. I use my first two sets just to loosen my joints with very little weight, then the intensity starts to kick in.
I'm 66. I do the same. I start out with very medium weights that I do easily, just to loosen and warm up. Then I add weight every set until I hit failure.
I’m 59. The first ten push-ups are the hardest!
I'm 72 and have the first three sets at lighter weights to warm up.
Even Mentzer advocated at least one warm up sets.
Hell I’m 31 and have been beginning with light weights to loosen up my joints for 10 years haha. Just feels like the right thing to do
RFK Jr is an inspiration and he walks his talk! It is refreshing to see all this dialog around health, fitness, and food on the national stage. Nothing and no one is perfect. But this change is much needed.
Thank you! You are so generous with your information Jeff. You don't hold back. Such honesty, genuine integrity, golden heart, kindness, and a heart felt care for your fans.
Thank you for being real. You are a gift.
RFK looks great for his age and a very fair analysis from Jeff. My Dad at 85 still does weights twice a week and vigorous walks three days. I also called him the other day to ask when he wanted a hand to clear some old pretty large shrubs from the end of his garden ready to replace the fence....he'd done it, chopped up and taken them to the tip!!
What are you talking about? Looks good for his age. He looks good for a 50-year-old. I mean let’s stop the nonsense.
My dad's 83 same thing. Former bodybuilder professionally and a tremendous all-around athlete. Thanks Dad for your genetics.... That said, I considered a very unfair analysis and assessment because the man has no lived experience with aging, the shoulders, the elbows, the knees, and the hips. You have no idea what's waiting for you. RFK Jr ignores the pain but does not do full range motion because when you get older I'm going to tell you that is a no-go often not possible without doing more damage than hypertrophy. Extensive inflammation can put the kibosh on your joints at that age so don't criticize him for his form. It's so weak myopic and narrow in scope of understanding the aging process. I don't even know where to begin criticizing this "expert."

i checked my test at 49, after feeling increasingly like shit. high amount of anxiety among other things. clocked in at 150. absolutely not able to put on any muscle for years, even though i trained really hard. TRT is being used very carefully in my country, bumping me up to about 600 and sliding to about 350 after 2.5 months for the next shot. it changed my life from so many angles. got the best body ever, including six-pack, at 52. people regularly think i'm lying about my age 🙂 i was probably always low T, never got this kind of results from the gym, even though i trained hard for decades. didn't change my training at all after TRT.
@@B33t_R007 that sounds amazing but what about nuts shrinking and libido issues that I often hear about from most men on TRT? There must be ways to get testosterone up naturally.

“Ask not what your curls can do for you”😂😂
Thanks for this post, Jeff! You and RFK make a great point regarding the responsibility of each of us to optomize our health, especially strength and mobility, as we age. It's one aspect of our lives over which we all have control.
You got through that with a straight face, that was the true accomplishment in this vid.
Great video Jeff. I follow a similar workout and IF as RFK Jr. At 53 I feel great and can outpace many of my younger co-workers.
As a 68 year old male, I can relate to and admire RFK Jr. Without TRT, I surprised myself and completed the 5 sets of 12 pull ups and 5 sets of 40 push ups (better form on both than RFK). Thanks to Jeff's workouts and supplements, I can still hit it pretty hard 4-5 days a week. Keep moving is crucial.
Get it, Ed!! That’s awesome! Same here, at 59!
That's pretty dang good. I've been training and doing pullups for years and years, and basically on my first set I can do 12+, but the numbers drops set by set rapidly from there on and on fourth set I'm lucky if I get 5 at 41 years old.

I been on TRT for 11 years and I still got great muscle mass still at 75 years old! I've been lifting weights since 1972 consistently but I have to admit they do seem a lot heavier in the last couple! Warms ups are more important and more necessary now than ever than in the past!! Form is everything, a lot more important than heavier weight!
This was informative, thank you. I'm 67. I'm fit, but I don't look like RFK Jr. Mostly I cycle to stay fit. But I do some weight-training; my condo complex does have a decent weight room. Watching this, there are a few things I think I will tweak about my weight routine. I've become totally plant-based in my diet as I've aged to protect my heart. I don't county my macros religiously, but I do structure my basic diet around making sure I get the right amounts of protein, carbs and fat. I also roughly count my daily caloric intake, but I don't obsess about it. I don't take supplements nor buy into any de-aging schemes. I do take a popular brand of men's multivitamin daily. I try to do most of my eating in an 8 hour window, but it's not always possible. You are so right, Jeff, about allowing flexibility in your food intake routine to allow for social commitments. Don't become so rigid that you neglect other parts of your life. This is all working well for me. I'm healthy, feel great and am still very active.
Over the last 55 years of training for me a lot has changed...injuries are real..At 65 i do my best and workout for health..you can't always do perfect form and full range of motion like in your teens,20s,30s etc...the key is adjust your workouts to achieve best results...70 is no joke and this guy is most definitely training hard for his age...i myself take zero drugs,so cant recover as well as him.
.i still want to train hard,but i have learned cutting back and eliminating certain exercises definitely benefits me rather than hurting..i train instinctively ,i always do different workouts every workout..i stop when i feel i did enough..for decades i over trained and ate a ton of food plus protein power etc..now i eat 2 meals a day...
I’m 65 and am a lot like you. I still weight train 4 days a week and want to be able to lift the rest of my life. No drugs ever and not far behind him.

I’m 61…I short arm my pull ups because of arthritis in my left shoulder that only is an issue in the pull up at the bottom.
I'm the same age and he is a great example and superb role model for older people. A few years ago my sons coerced me into the Gym, maintaining that resistance training was essential for someone my age. I'd always cycled 2-300kms a week so I was fit, but was managing a bad lower back and constant upper body fatigue. I have a 3 day split routine and I have not looked back. I'm 6' 4' and 220 lbs, so I still have some weight challenges, but compared to most of my cohort I'm in very good shape. There's no better feeling than when you've finished a workout
I'm 67 years old, started back in the gym 2 1/2 years ago after a 12 year 'hiatus'. I'm 6'1", and weighed 228 lbs @ about 37% bodyfat. I am now 195lbs and 17% BF, having also gained a lot of muscle. I have torn rotator cuffs in both shoulders, so I do a lot of pullups and other 'pull' exercises along with legs, cardio, etc. About 8 months ago I went onto TRT for the same reasons RFK did... life extension and enjoyment, but even before then, I would be surprised when someone would say, "You're really fit", thinking they meant for my age, Perhaps they were, but I don't care. I don't do all that to look better, but rather to feel better. Looking better is simply a natural outcome of doing the work. When someone asks me how I do it, I tell them, "Two words....commitment and discipline---neither of which work without the other". I just hope I'll be blessed enough to do this far into my 80's.
For people wondering why he sounds like that, he has spasmodic dysphonia. Completely unrelated to cigarettes
i thought it was from several strokes
I believe I’ve heard him talk about how he got it and he said it was because of his awful health decisions.
It could be a side effect of vaccination, but I believe it runs in the family’s
@@treyjohnson23 This is completely false. The cause of spasmodic dysphonia is unknown, and it is unclear how RFK Jr. developed the condition.

I am happy my 79 yr old husband takes the hormone. His body and mind are in great shape.... and the work around our place keeps him active.... and healthy.... regular check ups maintain that health also... .
This was interesting, not a fan of RFK jr, but I’m 69 and can relate to to his attention to fitness to be able to enjoy life!
I enjoyed your insight Jeff as usual. Thanks
Policy beliefs aside, I have full respect for the guy's fitness. I absolutely hope to be at least that active in 23 years.
And what would those be? His insistence on proper oversight on medicines, or his willingness to fight the corruption of our various agencies, or his lack of support for the forever wars? Oh maybe his Israel support which all candidates have?
@@lowrez-v3dmaybe the fact that almost everything he says on vaccines is batshit insane.
@@PompousPicard1 the problem is so many folks like you have only heard clips without context or are just regurgitating some talking heads opinion. If you listen to the dude speak for an extended period of time and aren't completely brainwashed by team red or blue propaganda then there is no way you would come to the conclusion you just did in good faith.
@@PompousPicard1 pretty obvious you havent actually gone down that rabbit hole.. hes completely reasonable on vaccines - his general position: vaccines should be tested the same way for safety and efficacy as all other medications, they're exempt from that kind of testing today. Right to informed consent and no madates.
@@PompousPicard1 They are insane according to who? The very same media that lies to us on literally everything else?
You did something great, Jeff. Thank you, man. ❤🎉 always love your content. Wish to train and work together one day!
trt is amazing!
i’m 50 and have been on it for a year.
i’m down 15 lbs. (6’4” 240)
energy, motivation and focus off the charts.
strength/fitness up.
my recovery after a hard work out use to be 3/4 days of stiff joints and sore muscles now it’s 36 hrs usually less.
yesterday i mountain biked 17 miles and this morning i feel great and could easily ride tonight!
i’ve complained about the lack of all that since 42/44 and kept getting told “well you are getting older” “that’s a natural part of aging”
men get checked!
if your Ts below 400 you’re not doing yourself any favors by just toughening it out or accepting getting old.
Same. If you are low its a miracle drug.
Everything you’re saying about age, frequency and recovery rate is spot on. At 54 years old, I am in recovery at a minimum of three days a week and in some cases, I take an entire week off every 3 to 4 weeks and pursue non-exercise regiments like judo and biking. The exercise regimen for me it’s 3 to 4 days for about an hour and a half on particular body parts and 70% of it is bodyweight / gymnastic routine
To be in that shape at 70 puts him ahead of 99.9% of society, so good for him!
His fitness put him ahead of society?
This is your best video to date Jeff! It touches on all the reasons to get and stay in shape. Hard to believe a Kennedy can be so easy to relate to.
I just want a president who can do 20 pullups
Putin can do 20 pullups lol.
Can you do 20 pull ups? If you can you don’t need a president to tell you how to live and govern your own life….
Jocko 2024!
Trump can do 1 000 000 pullups
@@rando9574 1 x 0000000! Haha
I’m not taking any steroids I’m just in TRT 😆
As long as your doctor gives it to you it’s ok, that’s why we have had an opioid pandemic the last 20 years (recovering addict myself) because the doctor said it would help.
RFK is awesome in every aspect. Best candidate in generations.
I'm voting for this guy. RFK ALL THE WAY!
100% #RFKJR2024
Such a dumb comment.
Brilliant plan
Late to social media.
Jeff did a fair and balanced look at RFK. Very positive commentary
Thanks!
Discipline, commitment, and responsibility. Health is beyond wealth, teaching a society to get rich, at all cost is everything. He is a model critic the methods, but his reasons are on the mark. RFK2024
Love RFK Jr.
One thing this video really doesn't cover that I think is important to remember is that he's been working out and taking care of himself most of his life. That's a lifetime of building solid strength and fitness. While we should take up fitness no matter what our age, condition or circumstances, starting out early has so many advantages.
Long time subscriber and fan of your content. This was a REALLY good video. I enjoyed your analysis and breakdown.
Rfk is awesome. Great video
Great messages! Great RFK to inspire all ages.
That old dude is buff! Motivation to keep up with kids is legit. My grand son's and I we play hard and they can go all day! Best workout ever lol.
I am 65. Used to go to the gym 4 days a week. Now I go 2 times a week sometimes once. More recovery. I am on TRT. Go to failure. Mike Mentzer approach. I feel better with more energy. Actually have some growth. Starting creatinine. Never stop!!
While I personally dislike Kennedy's political platform, he deserves a ton of credit for transparency with his exogenous hormone use. There's no reason why movie stars can't acknowledge the same protocols when they do interviews on their diet, exercise regimens, etc.
TRT is no big deal. If youre low in test you should be on it. Im on it for the last two years. I feel great. My levels are that of a young man in his prime. Why let age take you down if there's something you can do about it.
@@StreetTruckinTitan May I ask how old you were when you began taking it?

Which of RFKs policies are you opposed to?
They never have any real reason other than hearing / seeing bs mainstream gibberish… put another way that dude will never reply to you.
My guess is he was in good shape most of his life, not coming into it grossly out of shape in late adulthood...the TRT just helps him maintain in short intense workouts what he built as a younger person
I agree, he worked out most of his life and stayed active. No injury or health issues is also a plus. Many of us working guys have ruined backs and knees that long took us out of lifting or sports.
Considering John F. Kennedy’s work on the health of Americans in the 60s, RFK seems to be following his advice as well. I’m still inspired by the work at La Sierra High and their fitness program at the time. If you have not seen the videos about the high school, I would certainly encourage you to do a quick search on it and reflect on your surroundings and compare it to the kids of that time. Those kids were machines!💪
Great program. RFK at 70 can workout any way he likes as you point out, as long as he is working out. The important thing is he is staying active at an age when most have long since given up on any kind of exercise. I am 66 and I workout every day. Weights on Monday cycle or elliptical on Tuesday and so on. Intermittent fasting for 3 years now and despite having cancer I feel great. Tumor the size of a rat removed from my small intestine in 2016, never had any chemo or radiation, still going. It's all about forming good habits not bad ones.
Dude is 70 years old and looks absolutely incredible.
Wealth is the greatest indicator of longevity.
Great video! RFK is so inspiring in so many ways! Thank you for showcasing this fabulous man! RFK 💯💜
Great show today a perfect view and insight into RFK
RFK Jr. 2024🇺🇸 Love the video.
I'm in my mid-sixties and do a full body workout every other day. I have had five major surgeries on body parts over the last twenty-five years. Back, both shoulders, and both hands. I was born with severe asthma on top of that.
I work out and am still progressing up with weights. Four sets of 8 @ 80% or higher on every exercise for about 11/2 hours. I take two days in a row off only if I need to. I have been in constant pain for twenty-five years. Doctors said I had to live with it. I have, but I choose the way I live with it.
I decided that I would rather hurt and look great. So I will keep going.
Not trying is the only way you can lift weights or workout wrong.
We are all different. We do what works for us.
Not what you or anyone else thinks we should be doing.
Thank you. My opinion based on real life experience.
Shaming people is why they stay fat and unhealthy.
Never tell anyone what they should do. It is a much more powerful statement when you only tell them what you did.
70 years old and killing it. Awesome role model. 🎉🎉🎉 Nobody's perfect and at *70* he is close enough!!
I’m voting for Kennedy because he’s the most fit inside and out. Huge respect for his policies.
😅
Rfk jr would be an amazing president!
WILL BE
I'm 71 yo. MWF one hour of weights with 2 minute breaks, 16 exercises in all, heavy, (ex. dumbbell bench press 15 X @ 45lb.) finish up with 5 full extension pull ups, 10 dips and a 1.5 minute hang. TuThS one hour of ab work, stretching and balance exercises, finish up with step box and 1.5 minute hang. Tuesdays and Saturdays, 3 mile run (20 minutes); Thursdays and Sundays, HIIT: 5 X all out run up 120 yd long12% grade asphalt road hill. Lots of supplements from whey powder to Creatine. Kudos to RFK Jr for making the time to work out; he's a very busy guy. I still work part time, but make working out a priority. "Don't let the Old Man In"!
What do you do for "1 hour of ab work"? Look into adding these supplements: AlphaGPC 1.2g/day, ALCAR 2g/day, RALA 600mg/day, Astaxanthin 12-24mg/day. Big hitters, worth the money.Whey is whatever, just eat beef/eggs, unless it's a cost-saving measure.
@@user-ue4he3li8b For abs, I do 20 different exercises from Overhead weighted side stretches and Suck ins to Ab rolls and Raised leg crunches. Decline sit ups, Russian twists and Dip bar knee lifts are my favorites. Instead of doing sets, I just move on to the next exercise. Heavy protein, four eggs a day plus beef. (5'11" 160lb). I'll check out your sup list. Thanks.
"Don't let the Old Man In"!
That's a quote from Clint Eastwood when asked about his advice for aging well. I heard it a few years ago and it's been my motto since then too. I ride up a mountain about 4 or 5 times per week, do a few push ups and chin ups, sometimes a few kicks when brushing my teeth and eat more green leaf veggies than I like.
Another quote that rang true to me was from another actor, Dolf Lungren on maintaining a fit and trim body (paraphrased) "there's 24 hours in a day and all you need to do is exercise for 1 of those hours to maintain a fit and healthy body."
@@GreenIslandWoodworks Sounds like you are doing well; keep it up! Another one I use is "Do something difficult everyday".
He's right on with the best info out there for us older guys. Lighter weight and higher reps seen from that perspective his weight is not all that light and unbelievable with those pull-ups!
53, been very regular at the gym for 10+ years. I max-out quite a few of the machines, 10 rep nice sets standing arm curls (50kgs on 12kg ezybar), almost back to 1000lbs on the leg press, 18 pull-ups, 3 nice muscle-ups, etc.
But this year started being lethargic a lot, suddenly noticing slower recovery... Had never taken anything. A buddy convinced me to to finally start TRT, nothing over the top, sticking to prescription - but boy, what a wonderful difference. Feeling great, training better, noticeably growing muscle again. Actually wish I'd taken people's advice & started in my 40's.
Thank you Jeff this video was very informative I hope I won't hurt my rotator cuff watching this.
