doing Get Strong 16 weeks book workouts now and am going by the rules and being strict about it. I can't get pass phase one because I struggle with Active Hangs only. I can barely hold for 40 and not even 60 seconds. I have never done active hangs or dead hangs in my life until i went through your book. All the other exercises, pushups etc, are more common, pullups even. So I don't struggle with those.
Hey, Al. Nice new old moustache :) I can imagine the old one was kind of uncomfortable in the warmer climate. Nice tips, btw. In my opinion the single most important factor needed in order to lose weight is emotions - enthusiasm, interest, etc. What do I mean by that? ,I used to be a dancer and later a dancing teacher. Imagine you want to do a solo dance in your room. You know the moves, you play some music, how long are you going to dance? An hour? Two, tops? When you attend a dancing event, you dance all night till morning, sometimes 7-8 hours with small breaks (and you don't have to be a top notch dancer in order to dance all night, but simply an enthusiast). Sure, you eat a banana here or have a drink there, but you burn so much more than when dancing in your room alone, simply because of the event, the people, the atmosphere, and that enthusiasm. That's why you usually burn more calories in a football match with friends than when do a football training alone (unless you are a pro) - the rivalry, the motivation of the match, all these emotions are in play. People these days are so numbed from, and addicted to dopamine hits, that's why they have more trouble burning fat than ever before. They are losing their drive and interest in order to move and to enjoy workouts (or whatever they do). I've been there. You can adjust your nutrition as much as you'd like, but if you are numbed and depressive, the activities you do feel all the same and your metabolism is very low. Just my two cents. Thanks for the video and have a nice day.
Great channel Al. Loving the content and have started OMAd after seeing your vids and feeling great. Can you make a video of what you eat in your meals?
Al, most of my life I was just skinny. As I progressed through my 30s I started becoming "skinny-fat". As I hit 40 this year I was just plain ole fat-fat. With a combination of low carb & fasting, I dropped a decent amount of weight, from 230 to 180 in 2 months. (I'm 6'1.) But I'm still just skinny-fat, and would like to build some muscle for the 1st time in my life. I've never really worked out outside of some failed attempts at P90X back in the day. My question is, are "newbie gains" a thing for 40 year olds? And is your Old Man Strength a good starting place for a literal beginner?
Because of where I live I don't have access to enough ice to do an ice bath. Can I get the same affect by taking cold showers and if so how long? Thanks for any info 😊
Steady diet , a sport you love to do a few times a week . Keep drinking alcohol to a low or not at all if you can. I'm also nearly 40 I do a sport a few times a week , eat healthy, plenty of water , no alcohol and I'm pretty lean. Good luck.
Dear Al, thanks for this video. I really enjoy your approach to strength training and I have bought a couple of your books. However, it appears that you don't know squat about endurance training, i.e., "cardio" :). In your favorite cardio reply video, you stated jumping rope and walking, as well as mentioning running, swimming and cycling. However, that just misses the point. Cardio simply consists of sustained efforts at > 60% of your maximum heart rate, no matter what the exercise. Just four 30 minute workouts a week will yield most of the cardiovascular benefit, everything more gives diminishing returns. However, to get extremely fit, i.e., competitive in endurance sports, you should be doing long workouts in "zone 1" which lies between 60% and 70% of max HR, and two intense workouts a week. Most efficient intense workouts are interval workouts at over 90%, to increase VO2 Max, which is the lead indicator of cardiovascular fitness and correlates well with physiological age, as opposed to actual age. The classical exercises to achieve this are running, cycling, swimming, cross country skiing and rowing (including rowing machines). Cross country skiers have the highest recorded VO2 Max, followed by cyclists. Rowers have the highest absolute VO2 Max (not relative to body weight). Each sport has its advantages and disadvantages. However, technique sports such as rowing are inefficient for long workouts and Olympic rowers actually do most of their training cycling. Similarly, swimmers do repeats and intervals in order to preserve good technique. I don't know anything about jumping rope for cardio. While walking is good for general health, casual walking does not seem to satisfy the conditions I outlined above. For example, when I was in my 30's. my max HR was 200, and I had difficulty getting it higher than 90 just walking. In conclusion, I would say that systematic cardio begins with a heart rate monitor and any type of exercise while using HR zones to plan workouts.
Unfortunately 1 pound of muscle builds, if you are relatively active, probably only 10 kcals extra. Sedentary, it burns only 6. And the fat it theoretically replaced burned 3. So you are +7 per pound, optimistically. Add fantastic and somewhat unrealistic 20 pounds of muscle that replaced 20 pounds of fat, be active daily and...you can eat extra 2 oreo cookies a day. Or 1,5 banana.
Just run a lot more. To be honest, running is the best method to achieve leanness. The issue with swimming is that unfortunately most people eat even more, which just negates their weight loss. Eat a bare minimum of 120 grams protein, eat lots of fiber, and drink 2-3 liters of water per day. That plus running should put you on target for 10% bodyfat which is lean enough.
It's not true. Cardio burns more calories in a workout VS a lifting session. So if you want muscle AND fat loss, do BOTH. Doing only lifting, without cardio, will not provide well-rounded health.
Bro... He is right... Cardio is temporary to burn fat so your fat burns only for the time you run and burning stops when you stop cardio, but when doing muscle training, your muscles get micro tears and to heal that your body uses calories to burn it.... To sum it up, muscle exercise or running alone will not work, your diet has to be solid.... And yes this guy's is so true because I have been doing same for a year and am in great shape
@@sahilshinde4774 Incorrect. There is nothing "temporary" about burning calories... Once they are burned, they are burned. Gone. Not temporary. Look up the cardio EPOC effect. You simply cannot improve your cardio fitness very well only with muscle training, so you need to be doing cardio as well, for complete fitness.

Can you make a video of what you eat in your meals?
Can you talk about fasting and working out / if it’s okay to juice fast and workout without losing muscle? Thank you!!
Al when are you dropping your app for Android?

🤍 good work sir.
🎉 excellent 👌❤
al you're looking leaner than ever! what's your weight at now?
can boxing & kickboxing exercise help to build muscle also?
Will less fat intake ( not lowfat food) force your body to use fat stores on a low carb diet?
Interested in your thoughts on training after icebaths, supposedly it helps to delay the onset of fatigue.
What’s up AL! Are you still on OMAD diet?
Do you still work for dragon door? If not, what are you up to nowadays?
I just have ice for a cuple of rums.
What I need is how to stay lean. I keep bulking and cutting yo young and I'm nearly 40 I just wanna stay happy with my body and stay lean

just deficit lol

You're incorrect. Cardio doesn't burn a lot of calories.
Humans don't burn fat/calories.
Explain

@@oldnatty61 I guess a better word would be "use" instead of "burn"?
What is up with that…….beard???
