I’d like to get back into bodybuilding, (I did a bit for several years quite a while ago), but I was off for a hip replacement and recovery, then covid… I have been in martial arts for 28 years, but as I’ve aged, my range of motion is restricted in my shoulders. I’ll be 70 this November. My MA training is not as vigorous as it was, but I still enjoy it. It’s nice to mentor too. I enjoy watching you two “youngin’s”. You are a quite inspirational. I’ve been vegan now too for over 5 years. I hope to join a gym soon, and maybe get a trainer again. (Damn, but they are expensive)! - Well worth it though..

You guys are so positive and helpful that this is the only channel that I watch the inline commercials. 😆 I'm wfpb at age 54 and 6 years ago I started the Mcdougall diet. I did it to lower my cholesterol LDL dropped from 120 mg/dl (high being over 100) to 70 (ideal). I also fixed weight, blood pressure and resting heart rate. All are still healthy values. I'll keep up on bulgarian split squats at a minimum and do Lsits and handstands some, also. Cardio is a recumbent stationary bike.

Really love this Q&A-style vid. I like how you guys really feed off each other and add to the other's comments. I'm a huge fan of weighted isometrics that I mix in with various pilates, karate, yoga and Muay Thai stages/poses. I've not missed a single day in over a decade. I think isometrics are highly underused, especially for people who want to improve balance!

Everyone seems to be so concerned about lack of protein when in fact most are deficient in fibre. I think we should shift our focus from protein to fibre. 💪💪💪 Also wondering if you get caluses on your hands and if so do you leave them or keep them trimmed. Take care, Paul. 💚🌱💪🇨🇦

@@Simnettnutrition I really enjoy the day in the life videos because they remind me to go outside and enjoy nature. The more scientific videos are great too, like the nettle and beetroot crystal videos. I think a video that highlights some of the main health benefits of a vegan diet would be good. So things like how plant protein is lower in bcaa so there is a lower activation of mTor, etc. I know a lot of people who fear a vegan diet because they think it will have a negative impact on their health so a video on the longevity benefits could be useful.

@GhostInspired 2 жыл бұрын

Just want to add, it's good to look at the muscles and see the range of motion, but it's even better to just quickly google what actions the muscle does... The bicep actually does help in shoulder flexion, forearm supination and elbow flexion. So performing all 3 of those movements and/or resisting all 3 of those movements (straight arm extension like in a back lever) will develop the biceps in the best way possible. This works for all muscles. Training them for shortening AND for lengthening or in a constant lengthened state. BONUS: Eccentric contraction - Lowering weight creates the most tearing or muscle damage Concentric contraction - Raising the weight or shortening the angle of the joints worked will build the most speed/power and actually have a lower level of doms High reps is better for tendons and ligaments (10-25 reps) Lower reps is better for hypertrophy of the muscles (6-9) Very low reps is best for pure strength/power (1-5) Hope this helps!

I’m curious of your thoughts regarding the Vivo Life Whole or Thrive products. I’m pretty sure you’re more interested in getting your nutrients straight from the food source (not processed), but I’d still like to know your thoughts. I’ve been trying to incorporate more plant foods into my days by making smoothies with vegan protein, fruits, and vegetables and have wondered if the Vivo Life (and other brands) products I mentioned are worth considering. Thanks for the awesome videos!

@Simnettnutrition 2 жыл бұрын

Yes food first, supplements second. I like to supplement protein because it bumps my very low protein post workout smoothie into one with 30 grams! As far as the other nutrition in Whole, if you struggle to have complete meals due to work or time, it can certainly be helpful. Thrive is more of a multi vitamin/greens powder and I would probably choose to eat greens and take their multi-vitamin instead of that... but again, if someone isn't eating enough greens it might be a good idea for them.
