66 yo starting to see droopy arm & leg skin convert to firm/toned from lifting. I used to focus primarily on cardio but now I see the weights advantage. I still walk after lifting & get my steps & YT nutrition knowledge in each day and hope that this exercise helps keep me out of the assisted care facility down the line.
Falling in love with the process 💯 i began my fitness/nutrition journey to lose that 'baby weight' at age 30..15 years later i do it every day because i'm just hooked on feeling awesome. It's a win-win (win)❤❤❤
Great interview. She's so open and honest, very well spoken and focuses on the essentials. I've been having success just doing two exercises per session, 30 minutes a day, every other day. I go as hard and heavy as I can and keep going until I can't anymore, reducing the weight to try to get 5 reps in each set, making sure I try to push past the burn when you're running out of gas a little bit each time. For me, just having two exercises to go all in on simplifies it and makes it more fun. Like she said ,its so important to have that intensity. Its not about X amount of exercises or X amount of time, its going til failure and making sure each set you give your all. Makes all the difference.
@@erinvz3270Its usually 2 unique exercises per day, I try to hit all the key muscle groups on the body throughout the week. One day might be shoulder pulldowns and incline bench, another bicep curls, tricep pushdowns, one day squats and chest flys... There is no defined schedule or pattern beyond trying to vary through the week. I go as hard as I can until failure and keep lowering the weight doing 8-10 sets total, with as many reps as possible starting at heaviest weight and going down, making sure I feel the burn every set before I stop. 30 mins a day, 3-4 days a week and just walk/light jog on off days. Try to keep my calories below 2500 (Male), high protein, low sugar, low carb, tons of water. I have been weight training on and off for 15+ years and this method has given me the best results on how I look and feel. Its less intimidating to start and keep it up, less planning in your head, you can just focus on a couple things. I also forgive myself if I am only in the gym for 15 mins sometimes too. Just getting it in even for 10-15 mins makes a difference IMO. Just my approach, I know everyone is different and this might not work for anyone but just doing this for so long this has been the easiest best way for me to keep doing it consistently and get good results too. I feel like a lot of people overstate how long you have to be in the gym. Its like its their whole life. Exercise is a means to an end, not the goal of life IMO. These people doing it 1-2 hours DAILY are silly. I have other productive things I want to do in my day, and exercise gives me the energy to pursue those other goals.
Tara Garrison looks awesome. If time is at a premium when it comes to training... try these, Dip with squats or Chest press, Leg press, Lat pulldown. And if that is even too much, All out sprinting for 3 bout. .... Tara's experience about doing OMAD and not getting hungry is something I can attest to, even when having worked out. There's been times when 6+ hours have flown before the need to eat after training kicks in. Thank you for uploading and sharing.
Thank you Mike. She was excellent. It is so true. The minute we feel relationship issues most of us go straight to our body. Am I too old? Too saggy? Too heavy? To be a women can be a prison at times. Although, i cant eat whatever i want. I crush the weights and cardio. But thats ok. Goal is to remain strong as long as i possibly can.
I can absolutely relate to everything she is saying. I believe you have to have been there and through the prep was to really capture her message but it’s great
Fat isn't as bad as always shouted about, it's the visceral fat that you want to get rid of though, and fasted training, or simply fasting gets rid of it pretty well. Having higher muscle mass helps too.
I think the Mentzer method is more effective for skinnier folk. I tried it and just ended up gaining weight/ mostly fat even while counting calories and measuring my protein intake
Do 2 sets per exercise 1st rep (warm up set) lightweight until fatigue getting ample blood flow….then the second set go heavy up to 5 reps then move on…
She looks familiar; if people would regulate their intensity they would make more progress more often and recover much better more often. Some days I will stick to RPE8, some days I will get to a 7. It's rare that I will go to 10 because I'm the kind of guy that would would rather be ready to go for anything and everything every single day. Imagine being a Roman soldier you pushed your squat or sprint or farmers carry too hard and now you're useless the next day, you would get in trouble for that which is why I think 8 is the best range; 9 is useful as also is 7
I prefer my slender lean runners body to the body I’ve developed in the last three months since I’ve stopped running and started lifting weights. I don’t like to have thick thighs and big arms. I feel like I had more energy when I was running and doing high intensity workouts 🏃♀ also, I can’t lift too heavy because I don’t wanna get injured I can’t afford it..
Great interview, she came across as down to earth. She is beautiful but, what I see time and time again is women like her have to self destruct and ruin a marriage before they wake up and do something, a lot of women gain a lot of weight and then go off sex because they don't like their bodies, the marriage is ruined then and only then they decide to go out and do something, and get that revenge body, sheer madness. Men are visual creatures.
Please keep your videos under 15 min. Shorter is better. There are so many good youtubes every day. Cant spend an hour on one video and it shouldnt take an hour to share your message. 15 min max.
It probably would’ve been shorter but she’s very long winded and likes to included a lot of unrelated details in her long answers. Too much unnecessary fluff does make it difficult to want to continue. His questions and her answers are good - but it could have been edited to cut the excitable verbiage out.
@@richardsannasardo-xd6ek I’m training like a maniac myself in hope to lose weight. Everybody says - lift weights, you’ll lose fat faster and you won’t become bulky. Well… What I’m seeing is - my shoulders have widened! And I am gradually turning into this “butch” looking woman, I mean my body. Only fat doesn’t seem to shrink, but muscle is developing underneath. I’m so confused with all this information from different sources 🙉🤷♀️😫
No. She is pretty normal and this interview consisted of a bunch of info on training including phycological tips etc. If you are someone that has been training for awhile this stuff won't really help but it has some decent info for people still struggling to get started. The real issue is you, clearly have some personal problems, possibly a mixture of self loathing that leads you to disdain/jealousy of others in positions or stages of fitness you yearn to be in yourself. Either way she was fine and you unequivocally have some personal problems it would behoove you to work on.
Stop the video and blow up the picture, and look closely at the eyebrows, nose, eyes, size of the heads and mouths. Notice that in the photo on the left, you do not get a full view of at least one hand. Are these two the same woman? To me, upon close inspection, they look like they are different women, and the difference in how they are wearing their hair and the difference in their clothes do not seem to account for the differences in their facial characteristics. The guest’s advise may be good - I don’t know - but it seems to me that there might be some misrepresentation here. I do not intend to troll - I am legitimately curious.
Thats the dioecious nature of the human species. Women trade fertility and high quality genetics in exchange for resources and protection from men - not since the start of our “society”, but from the entire history of anatomically modern humans.
Maybe high weight/low reps is a good strategy for a young person, I don't know, but it is increasingly a recipe for injury the further you get past 50. I prefer to vary my (reps/weight) workout from month to month.
You want to do progressive overload and until failure. So, it’s intuitive. Some days you feel you might be able to do more, some days less. Pay attention to the body.
Yup, generally light(ER!) weights, higher reps (12-20), (very) slow eccentrics, high range of motion (as high as possible for you), should get you the results while lessening injury risk. And yeah, at the very least the last (4th/5th) set should be to, or very close to, failure. Heavy weights can be good for neuron wise, but you can get there with explosive concentrics too
So real! She hits so many realistic elements - push thru the yucky beginning until you feel the joy of movement & health/feeling good in your body - find an environment, clothing, equipment that motivates you and just commit to the process w/ consistency and continuously challenging yourself to level up. It may be a slow start but START, be patient @the beginning, make it part of who you are, and each day you ate transforming into a better, healthier version of You. Do what you can each day. Some days will be lighter intensity than others but keep the discipline; you’re worth it. Enjoy the process so you’ll stick w/ it for life. LIVE🎈
I’m almost 68 and lift pretty heavy. Don’t be afraid to lift heavy but be safe. Hire a personal trainer to teach you proper form if you don’t know already. Good luck
Slow the eccentric movement, work until failure, use full range of motion if possible, and you will get results without heavy weights and have lower injury risk. Always listen to your body on whether the exercise is a good fit for you
I don’t believe she doesn’t give 2 SSs how her body looks. Our bodies are the first thing people see. Reverse her body back to when she wasn’t as healthy and she would give 2 SSs. I agree we need to learn to love and be kind to ourselves- but I hear too many trainers say “You aren’t your body! You are enough. It’s not about your body image” Our unhealthy body composition DOES impact our self image and confidence. We should give a S about how we look to find what’s happening internally and make the changes for achieving a healthier and better body composition.
I totally LOVE her! Thank you. Very timely. Instead of meditating early when I wake up around 4:30 am, I am going to WORK OUT. Fasted. Then later in the day I will meditate at the beach to get some sun. Great interview.

Great video.Mike Mentzer was right decades ago...
So happy to see you have Tara on, she is absolutely awesome!!
Excellent discussion Mike! Coach Tara is very inspiring & informative. One of your best guests to date!! 💯🔥
I can’t believe she’s only 39. I thought she was at least mid 40s if she would’ve said 49 I would’ve believed it.
Tara Garrison looks awesome.

Sounds like some of ole mentzers principles
Dat iz da way
I like how we are still talking about eating/training for "tone" in 2023 :D
Been following Tara's RUclips for awhile. Great content. Glad to see this great collaboration 👍
Intense? That means many things to many people. I'm glad you finally described what that means.
Ok interview was more about her than helping us woman
I don't think I've ever seen Mike being interviewed but I would love to see that for sure!
He has been interviewed for over an hour by Tom Bilyeu on Tom’s YT channel-it’s a great interview.
I can totally relate. A real awakening!
You are not going to see Ozempic in her medicine chest for sure.
She is absolutely brilliant ...take away ....u have to love yourself
I can absolutely relate to everything she is saying. I believe you have to have been there and through the prep was to really capture her message but it’s great
Loved this conversation. Super cool and keep up these interviews with knowledge strong women. It’s inspiring!
I gave up on trying to not be fat. Be yourself and be happy!
Fat isn't as bad as always shouted about, it's the visceral fat that you want to get rid of though, and fasted training, or simply fasting gets rid of it pretty well. Having higher muscle mass helps too.
I think I'm in love :D
To all the women thinking muscles will keep the men away: a LOT of men like a fit woman, so go work out.
Such a lovely personality - she speaks from her heart ❤️
Love love this interview!!
I love how all of these medical mysteries have something to do with food! Thank you so much for sharing these with us
I think the Mentzer method is more effective for skinnier folk. I tried it and just ended up gaining weight/ mostly fat even while counting calories and measuring my protein intake
What’s the Menzer method?
Best health channel and information. Press on good sir
Awesome interview! So inspiring!

I love that! Super smart 😊
TLDR version please
Wow she’s speaking my philosophy ❤ Love her!
This women is speaking my language ❤
Good interview and information.
Oh she is 39c still young..
She is right you need nutrition to really see the difference.
Looks better before
Yeah, she looked more feminine and natural before.
I Love 5x5 and can't stand high reps ... just feels like torture that doesn't produce results.
This was less about building muscle and more about healing for women. 😑
I dream of these kind of arms. Always admired women like that.

Or... Crank up the playback speed. I watch most videos at 1.5 or 1.75. Helps the fluff fly by, and when you need to you can slow it down.
Give us a break, she obviously cares about how she looks, epecially her body. 🙄
so high reps with low weights is no good? u can fatigue the muscles doing this,is that a good thing
Yes, how old is this lady , and is this information also for females over a certain age, I guess she is in her 40s …

Sorry but… on the “before” photo I see a beautiful feminine woman. Whereas on the “after”…. why? Why a woman needs to look like a man??

Seriously
@@viktoriakireeva5860did you check your diet? 80% is diet 20% is exercise

She's full of herself. It's easy to tell what her favorite subject is. Herself. I thought this was going to be about training.
I didn't see that.
She brags all the way through the interview. I love the gym and weight-lifting but she is so annoying.
Western women are narcissistic and endlessy spewing various psychologicalisms like a self-help book pez dispenser.

Looks like a bit of plastic surgery. New makeup as far as the eyebrows. Skinny brows are not the trend anymore.
@catandmouse14 - Definitely the same mouth and nose. The muscular transformation, different eye makeup, and the boob job are throwing you off.
What is ghetto music?
The kinda music people in the ghetto vibe to lol
not her "ghetto music" excuse me that's a slur
Imagine women being afraid to look like her.
" be beautiful and let some guy fall in love with you"
😂
Isn't our society great!?
Thats the dioecious nature of the human species. Women trade fertility and high quality genetics in exchange for resources and protection from men - not since the start of our “society”, but from the entire history of anatomically modern humans.
she looks a ton older than just 39
She seemed self absorbed and annoying. Love your content though Mike.

I’ve screenshot this 😊
At 66, I tend to do more reps instead of increasing weight - out of fear of injury. This was helpful.
Beginning at around 40 years old, the typical human being loses 1 lb of muscle per year. Go heavy!
I’m almost 68 and lift pretty heavy. Don’t be afraid to lift heavy but be safe. Hire a personal trainer to teach you proper form if you don’t know already. Good luck

Add weight slowly and methodically - but consistently.
Slow the eccentric movement, work until failure, use full range of motion if possible, and you will get results without heavy weights and have lower injury risk. Always listen to your body on whether the exercise is a good fit for you
Is she natty though brah? 😮
She doesn't seem natty tbh
No, she's experienced virilization. Sharp jaw, extremely low body fat, hard muscles, etc.
Although, on the flip side, what she may - or may not - have achieved through PED use, thus far, we men can almost certainly achieve naturally...
I don’t believe she doesn’t give 2 SSs how her body looks. Our bodies are the first thing people see.
Reverse her body back to when she wasn’t as healthy and she would give 2 SSs.
I agree we need to learn to love and be kind to ourselves- but I hear too many trainers say “You aren’t your body! You are enough. It’s not about your body image”
Our unhealthy body composition DOES impact our self image and confidence.
We should give a S about how we look to find what’s happening internally and make the changes for achieving a healthier and better body composition.
I have watched the first two minutes of this video and paused it, to let you know I already like her. Lets continue with the video.
