I viewed the entire video and am sending you a bouquet of a dozen kudos for an excellent job done; your honesty and transparency are impeccable. I went through a similar journey at age 64 when I allowed myself to get out of shape and fat. I became a man on a mission with a goal leading up to my 65th birthday and during the journey had several body fat measurements during this period. My first test in December 2018 measured by bodyfat at 30.7 percent. In December 2019, it measured 17.4 percent. During this period, my body weight did decrease by about 12 lbs. COVID came along and I relocated to another state so that ended my body fat measurement testing resource and testing. I'm sure my current body fat is higher than the December 2019 measurement. There are several methods used to test body fat and their accuracies vary. I had mine done using a Dexa-scan machine which I believe is more accurate than others, like perhaps the one you used in your gym. I think what's most important is using the same machine so you can compare changes without measurement differences due to the machine used. Also, know that your body fat measurements will vary depending on hydration levels. For example, my body fat percentages were always higher in the morning than later in the day. I've maintained food journals for a long time and know that it's a matter of calories in versus calories expended. If you have a calories deficit, you'll lose weight in the long run. Strength training to add muscle will change the composition of your total body weight between fat and lean body mass. It's a never-ending journey the older we get and I'm still on my journey at age 69. Thanks again for your excellent testimonial, enjoy your weekend.

When I get to your age I would say there lived a man on this face of Earth who guided me to this path I am on. My guru.

2 cm taller too. Congrats! Amazing fitness journey

Dude has a voice that would be great for nature shows.

Those muscle ups CLEAN. Incredible transformation.

I must say you are a massive inspiration. Seeing a real guy who’s life doesn’t revolve around fitness (such as PTs) staying in shape, gives me hope that I can stay in this for the long term.

You look amazing for your age and that's some serious achievement, be proud!

Simplification is the ultimate Sophistication. Well done Anthony ✌️

Well done sir, you're an inspiration. I'm 51, used to rock climb when young and getting back into it after 20 years. I've lost 4kg, and BMI 21, but I'm aiming to get lower. When I was 30 I could do a 1 arm pull up, but no way now. Getting the climbing grades back up, now doing F6c+ / 7a. Need to eat less. Eat well, but smaller portions. Reduce carbs, especially fat. Doing weights twice a week.

I love your videos. Keep em' coming! Congrats on your fat lose. I am still on my muscle up journey. I got my first two last July but tweaked my shoulder doing it and had to wait and rehab it. I will get it this year as 55/56 year old. My shoulders are healthy and my MU progress is slow and steady.

Ive always made excuses of why i cant do muscle ups but after seeing a man you age, my excuses are just that

After a couple attempts I am two months in with a predominantly vegan diet, no sugar, minimal carbs, no alcohol, intermittent fasting & 10,000+ steps per day. A long weekend this weekend in Melbourne with 38degC heat so I’ve indulged in some ice cream as a treat. Next challenge is undertaking regular calisthenics. You are an inspiration!!! Great work & well done.

Seriously, for the over 50's your an inspiration 🙂👍

You are an inspiration to many. Including myself. I have had a heart attack 3yrs ago at age 38 and two open heart surgeries. After 4 weeks in coma, 8 weeks on the ic and now almost 3 years revalidation i slow start getting some confidence back in my body. My next goal ... starting very very very basic fundamentals of calesthenics and try to build back som muscle but mostly confidence. Thank you sir and all the best! Gr from the netherlands... (for the record, im not overweight or such. Im atm a skinny toothpick)

Great work Antony. Keep up the hard work

Thanks for sharing your techniques to reduce calorie intake. That goes to show that there's no trick, what people normally consume these days, it's not normal. Congrats on the muscle ups! I hope I can still do muscle ups by the time I'm 58!

I got my first assisted muscle up today! 3 in a row because of you😭💜

This is very inspiring! Thanks for sharing your journey!

Absolutely inspirational. Anybody can make incredible improvements, but it takes huge willpower: which you have in spades.

I'm a bit younger but doing almost exactly what you're doing. Not as strong, yet. But definitely getting stronger. Great video. Thanks for the truth. There's enough videos of perfect diet, perfect people out there. Good job.

Well done My friend 😉👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Awesome! Keep it up!👏👍

Anthony you are amazing. Your videos are so honest and interesting. Looking forward to see your next video. Btw that BMI sometimes it’s BS.

I’m 28 and wish I was a fit as you. I’ve started my pull up journey tho I need a resistance band… but as you say… these things take time.. thanks for inspiring me 😇😇

It doesn’t get any better than this hats for your straight forward & honest demonstration keep up the good work 💪

I’ve never done a muscle up ,that’s amazing the way you keep doing them .im fit .11 stone ,a runner ,and do pushups every day .but do suffer with shoulder pain . Well done 💪👍

I just quit drinking sugary drinks and lost 7 pounds and I’m eating more protein too. I’m enjoying your videos and I want to start doing calisthenics now

I just subscribed at 53, your amazing and very inspirational

That's a 36.15% Reduction in Body Fat mate, not 15% That's awesome and inspiring 👍👍👍

Well done sir

You’re brilliant, well done!

Pretty motivated video man! Nice work 💪🏼💪🏼

What a GREAT transformation and beautiful muscle ups. I’m 55 years old and have been trying to learn the muscle up for a year now, with very poor results. Can do 12 clean pull ups or 14 chin ups, but struggle a bit with clean dips. With the muscle up, I feel like a hopeless idiot. 😅

Brilliant stuff. Well done and thanks!

I think doing muscle ups the way you have been doing them is impressive! I also think that if you incorporated a resistance band into every other muscle up wokrput or even just at the end when you start failing, you'd make gains quicker. I'm 41 this year and have been lifting for about 2 years on and off but since January, I'm taking it the next level. Loosing body fat and doing cardio. You have inspired me to start muscle ups in the spring in a nearby workout park. I used to train muscle ups a few years back. Thanks 👊

ATKINS DIET is life changing. Keep it up. You look great!

Respect. Im 65 and on my way... I started calisthenics 2 mo ths ago and I'm gradually changing my diet.

Great set of muscle ups.

Loving the content, Anthony. Inspirational stuff to see your level improving with age.

You pretty much eat how I eat nowadays, coffee is out for me as well as it gives me bad stomach aches. I have fasting days as well, when I can cope! I can definately see a change in your shape and the way you hold yourself

Nice vidéo 👍

This is good man you’re an inspiration.

Muscle ups at nearly 60 is phenomenal

I am 62 and have been watching your videos. Very impressive what uoh have accomplished, so I just subscribed. My goals are strength endurance (high reps) to prepare for a mock PRMC PFT test, so I am doing high reps, push-ups, inverted rows, sit ups, dips, air squats, etc.. How often did you workout each exercise when you started, and how frequently do you train them now? Keep up the inspirational training for we seniors.

Nice muscle ups. Im hoping to get them soon

Very impressive and inspiring.

Your are a true inspiration

Fantastic work mate 👍🏼 I’ve always been pretty fit for my age 55 now but still want that perfect body , and I’ve had a lot going on in my life but now is the time for a even better diet and to get as close to perfect as I can. You have done amazing mate well done 👍🏼 and I will follow your journey, take care 😁

Well done buddy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

Even if those fat scales arent the most accurate, if they are consistent and youre using the same one, then it's a decent indicator. Also, I've found that taking pictures of yourself to see how your body composition has changed can help determine whats been working as well.

Congrats on your success with your new choices and life style.

Congratulations, remember there's a correlation between muscle mass and all-cause mortality, so you've extended the length as well as the quality of your life.

Thanks for the great vids. 👍🏽

That machine also grew you by 2cm in 14 months ! Anyway that's a massive transformation i hope i can be as fit as you when i'm your age !

Well done sir. I would suggest you now start on rings training etc as you now have the basic strength and conditioning to progress resulting in more weight loss and muscle.

Great job! Congrats! 🎉

Very clean muscle ups, the next progression is trying to decrease the leg swinging, it’s amazing what small changes can make, another 15 months of this and you’ll be ripped

Congratulations sir.

Good job!👍. Love your channel. I always learn something useful.

Well done man, you look great..👍

Heck yeah Anthony keep it up

Brilliant mate. Well done!

Strength Level says that for 59 and 80kg 7 muscle ups in a single set is elite standard.

Very inspirational, thank you

Amazing results 👏

This is amazing.

hek yeah buddy. been following you for awhile. bravo my friend!!! keep it up buddy!

Absolutely inspiring!

pinkze he say " totally inspiring. Thank you🎉❤😊"

Your looking great bud!

Congratulations! And I agree, these machines working with electrical resistance are only good for before-and-now comparisons with yourself. One doesn't have to care about the absolute value one bit. I once fooled such a machine by having it take my measurements, then drinking one liter of water, and taking my measurements again. And the result was a slightly higher bodyfat percentage reading, despite the fact that my actual bodyfat percentage was slightly lower now, because I had added one kilogram of non-fat mass to my bodyweight. But since the water was still in my stomach, it didn't change the electrical resistance of my extremities, so the machine's algorithm drew the wrong conclusion 😁

I doff my cap to you, good sir.

Awesome work mate.

Well done fella

Love this message

Fantastic video. More interesting than some super cut guys. Please share your results in a few months again. Best of luck.

Nice 1 fella 👍👍

Awesome work

Sir you should also read us poetry here ! you have a soothing voice . Keats would be an apt choice .

Inspirational 👏🏻

👏🏾some great advice

Strong 💪👍🏻

Congratulations 🎊 💪

Bravo !!! C’est motivant !

Great job.

Wow sir, muscle up at 59, ❤❤❤❤

Do you run? Your heart health is the most important thing

New sub. I am doing many of the same things ! You look better than 27% bf too

I'm 55, workout a lot, 71 kilo and look way too lean, I need like another 7 kilo yet my 'Garmin' says my fitness age goes up from 47.5 to 52.5 when I increase my weight to over 73 kilo. For this reason, I don't take any notice of it. I'm 5'7''. Body fat percentage is far more important

good on you!

Great content Anthony, I find that Peanut Butter and Nuts are great for killing cravings, and are also high Protein.

Sir, what do you say about cottage cheese (curd) ? I never liked protein shakes, hence my daily protein intake is very low. I also don't eat red meat - I dont have any other protein restrictions or preferences.

The best method of burning fat and building muscle, leg and upper body fast is rowing. Get a concept 2 if you can't afford one join a gym. Start by setting it to calories then see if you can burn 40 calories in under 2 minutes. Easy right? This will teach you just how hard you need to work to burn off a few calories. I'm 59 and not slowing down any time soon. Rowing is the ultimate cardio work out. Ps I built a shed just for pull ups rain or shine no excuses 💪👍

The cost of our machine has gone up by 50p, it says ive grown 6 inches in height and it told me to be fatter. The machine has turned into my mother.

@funwithcalisthenics Good man yourself Antony! It just goes to show what the oul' bod is capable of at any age if we are patient and consistent. You are an inspiration to all of us of a 'certain age bracket'!🙂

Congrats, I’m skinny fat myself, I’m currently going back on my 5x5 workout. But this program I’m going calorie surplus with it being a strength training you need to constantly add 1.25KG To each side of the bar in every workout I don’t think I don’t think I’d manage this 5x5 workout on a calorie deficit I always make sure I’m getting enough carbs on my training of three days week.

good job

Brilliant

Yoooo wheres the trt at? Just kidding you have an impressive Muscle up bro

Hi mate, nice video, whats the name of the product exactly? The pullup bar?. Cheers mate
