I’m 50. I was in fantastic shape until I was 28. Since then, I’ve been around 60 lbs overweight. Last year, I decided to fix things. I started with a daily walk. That slowly turned into a daily run. Then I added calisthenics. Then I started tweaking my diet. Now I’m 40 lbs down with 20 to go. I run 4 miles, 6 days per week. And I can do 3 sets of 4 pull ups and 3 sets of 15 push ups. I feel great again.
Wow, phenomenal sir! Thank you so much for sharing. I'm curious to know, what got you started with all this again? What was the trigger and how did you build up that momentum?
@@BodyweightMuscle honestly, it was being pre-diabetic for years and then having a round of bloodwork done where I had 8 different readings in the red! I don’t want to do into my older age worn out and decrepit. Now all my blood markers are in the green! I feel fantastic!
Finally got it: revenge bedtime proscratination! That's what is keeping me so deenergized...the eternal cycle of fatigue. So revealing, this video, thanks for it. The chalenge will be to prioritize my needs
Hey Anthony, I have a question about cardiosthenics. I understand that you rest 20s after low energy cost exercise and 40s after h.e.c exercise. Do you time your work as well or do you go by reps? If so, what time does your set last or how many reps do you go by? I ask because I feel my lower body needs more reps than upper, but doing a PPL round means more upper body focus than lower. How do you balance it? Thanks
Yeah... I work a 9 to 5 job where I have only 4-5 hours for personal time before bed. I already have to wake up at 7:15am for work. I use about 30 min for workouts every evening and I believe thats more than enough. Im not waking up at 5аm to work out or do anything else for that matter. You can respectfully "fuck off" with that. ; )
Hey Mohammad! It depends on how often you have those every week/month. Usually, I recommend using your days after night shifts as rest-days (i.e. if you're a doctor and you have these once a week), as long as you make sure you get a short dynamic workout prior.
Im turning 40 soon. I used to kill it. I work out about three days a week and my recovery time takes forever and a day. Im really hating the ignorance of my body. Any dudes in their 40s have any advice?
@@BodyweightMuscle Ive been working on improving my pullup reps and just keeping it body workouts as much as possible. Ive been incorporating isometrics. I appreciate any advice and thank you.
It can be a lot of things. I would need to know a bit more to help you: 1. How much time does your workout last, how many exercises and sets are you doing, and how many of those are till failure? 2. How much sleep are you getting per night? 3. How does your diet look and how much protein do you get on a daily basis?

That's inspiring, again thanks for sharing I love reading about these stories! 💪🏼🙏🏼

Get that morning routine set up my man! It's a game changer!
Only have 6 to 7 hours of sleep. Lost 20 kilos in a year, but reached a plateau. The belly fat won't come off

Hey Ben! I like to aim for reps. It works a lot better (especially if you keep notes of your workout) so you can focus on progressive overload 💪🏼
What reps do you go for? I guess it'll be different for different body parts? What do you recommend?
It depends, what is your goal?

Awesome my man, sounds good! I work 10-12hour days so I could never work out in the evening but if that works for you, more power to you my friend 💪🏼

Hey Manuel!
I would say 3
lack of confidence?
Would you recommend working out after a night shift Anthony ?
Hey Mohammad! It depends on how often you have those every week/month. Usually, I recommend using your days after night shifts as rest-days (i.e. if you're a doctor and you have these once a week), as long as you make sure you get a short dynamic workout prior.
How often do you have night shifts and what's the nature of your job
Abit of both I think.
Im turning 40 soon. I used to kill it. I work out about three days a week and my recovery time takes forever and a day. Im really hating the ignorance of my body. Any dudes in their 40s have any advice?
I'm 39 in a month, so not that far away :). Share with me how do those three workouts look
@@JAHQ79 right on.
What kind of training do you do? Let me know and I'll give you advice on recovery. No need to go vegan to feel better ;)
