I’m 50 and I still lift weights around 5-6 times a week. From what I’ve read doing it helps bones density and prevents muscle loss as you age. I also like the solitude of it, just exercising and listening to music. I used to do CrossFit but kept getting injured due to the fast/high rep Olympic lifts. I use a stationary bike for cardio. Do what works for you, like Pat said. 🍻
@Ben Smith to be honest I didn’t know this much about lifting 20 years ago when I started. Definitely intensity would have been higher then but maybe risk of injury as well. The number one goal now is to exercise without injury.
I am about to turn 58. Started to work out around 15. Never looked back. Worked as a personal trainer, then became a medic. Now work as a nurse practitioner. In my experience in the field. Men take poor care of themselves. It is great to see a forum that shares information like this. Many men in the 50-60 age range have HTN and diabetes type 2. And , are not open to even a walking program when I discussed with them. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK and keep moving even if the only thing you can do is walk. 💪👏👏🔨🔨🔨🔨♾
I have to admit the priorities change and for whatever reason fitness becomes a luxury. But in reality it should be a way of life. Been watching your channel today for the first time and man it’s good stuff and motivating
Pats bands are awesome , I was a member of his squad during the pandemic , literally changed my life . I'm in the uk never met him in person . Budding dudes out there listen to these 2 legends because they make sense , being involved has made lasting changes in my life . I would love to thank cj and pat in person , who knows maybe one day . Keep that blaze alive people 🤘
61 here, lift and cardio 5/week. Now I’m traveling less I am going back to BJJ 3x week as well. Limitations are a mind set, eliminate them. Getting older use your earned wisdom and work smarter, know your anatomical weaknesses that come with age. They won’t stop you if you use your best judgement. Make it enjoyable, Get after it,
Doing something is always better than nothing. I was blessed with a serious arthritic condition at 26 and 19 yrs later I'm in the best condition of my life. If I don't get up workout and stretch everyday my condition wins and I don't like loosing! Remember you gotta earn that break-fast no matter how you feel.
What pat mac said is true about racing dirt bikes,i had s friend of mine along with his brother who use to go dirt bike racing pn a track and he said the exact same thing about being banged up bad and he was after a few stints because he wasn't in shape 👍
Pat is my favorite guy for this kind of stuff. I really enjoy this channel. I’m 40 and have been very focused on aging well since my dad died at 55. I hope one day I can coach other men through the aging process. Ty Pat! I’ll be joining your Patreon next month just working it in to the budget.
I'm over 60. Getting good results with the Gitchusum bands and "transverse plane of motion" exercises . . . both of which were new to me, up until the last month or so.
Over 50 here and into fitness for years now. What you say about getting the body moving is 100% correct. Once we get in shape and it becomes a lifestyle for us we start focusing on optimizing our routines and tweaking all the little things, and this is all good. But I had a problem losing sight of what is was like to be out of shape and starting at ground zero, because I started out years ago doing things "wrong" by my standards today - but I just kept going back. So now when I get questions I just tell people that lifestyle change comes first, you'll fill in all the details as you go.
I'm 43 years old with 33 years of martial arts under my belt. I have injuries from car accidents and can't compete but have to say, strength training is critical to staying active and healthy. I personally have a hard time as I teach/train jiujitsu all week but I have to force myself.
The dirt bike bit was hilarious. At 36, I've never understood heavy metal. It's like I tell my kids, the only time you should be screaming is if something is seriously wrong. Though I never considered the fact that maybe heavy metal bands are constantly in danger of being kidnapped or perform on stages surrounded by fire.
I am 51. I found a trainer called Funk Roberts on you tube. He specializes in workouts for men over 40. Most are 20 minutes using no weights or dumbbells and total body. Check him out.
Step 1, supraphysiological exogenous testosterone. Step 2 motivated exercise, recovery, gains and focus. Step 3 motivate other people to exercise, leaving out Step 1.
Why is this interviewer trashing bodybuilding? There’s tons of physiological benefits from that style of training. If you’re saying you can’t learn anything from the BB feats that were achieved, and the sheer expanse of fitness during the golden era, I’d say you’re pretty close-minded. You can keep it simple, but there’s tons to learn out there. Pat seems to be doing some great stuff in the explosive realm, which is a great focus when you start to get into latter years.
Sorry, Pat , ive been doing military press as one of my favorite exercises since I was a youngster. Im going to be 65 shortly and I'm still military pressing. Looks like I'm finally going to disagree with you about something. 😄

68 and doing it on the same way you do. I have been a powerlifter since I was 12 years old.

Self preservation/longevity, saving someone’s life, save your own life, kicking someone’s ass! Make it habitual🤘🏻
Thank you

Heavy metal after 50. I am glad I never got rid of my Van Halen tapes and CDs.

Mandatory Metal!
Pats Just an all around solid dude, inspiring to see people of such character.
Outstanding information thank you

My soreness doesn't kick in till day two

Hey Pat, awesome video man! You should make a video on explaining working out in the transverse plane and what to think about while doing it
I’m 36 train before work at 0330. Just me a jacked 68 year old in the gym at that time. He is 68 and keeps the same pace I do!
Spot on Mac. I listen to Metal @ 63. Never too old for metal.
I've been thinking of starting an over 50 heavy metal band called "Sciatica". 🤘
Heavy metal music should be mandatory...🤗🤗🤗
Keep leading by example bro🤘 love your approach.
Pat Mac is one cool dude.
🤘😌👌💨 stay on poinT
Where do you get your bands. What brand are they?
Mandatory Metal. I like it.
Er hat einfach immer recht! 😊
It’s 90s Alternative mandatory for me while working out at 53
I can't wait for the sentinel class.
👍

Like Pat has stated, motion is lotion.
What should I replace military press with???
How about after over 70?
As an experiment, I would love to see a workout set to classical music. I wonder if the results would not be as good as when set to metal.
What's on your playlist?
