Some common mistakes that people make when trying to build muscle or get stronger ; • Overtraining. They train too hard (train to failure too much and do too much volume (too many sets)). A lot of people generally train too hard too often. When some people plateau, they think that the answer is to do more or train harder when in fact the opposite may be true. You don't need to train as hard as you possibly can. • They don't train hard enough. • Keep the same tempo for every rep of a set, don't do slow grinding reps where you're struggling to lift the weight. • If you're trying to build muscle you should stop most of your sets 1-3 reps short of failure. A term that is used is 1-3 RIR (reps in reserve). • When training for strength, if you are doing a set for 10 reps, stop at at least 4 RIR (a set total of no more than 6 reps). Keep the lifting speed high and lower the weight slower, under control. • When you hit a plateau, one thing you can do is to de-load (ease up for a week : decrease weight and volume) or take the week off. When you come back you can drop the weights, gradually build up again then you may find that you improve on where you were before. Try to have a good relationship with food. Eating is for supplying your body with nutrients, if your body doesn't need nutrients then you don't need to eat. Enjoy your food but it's not just for pleasure. Maybe all a lot of people need to do is listen to their body more and eat more often only when they feel hungry. Drink enough water, when you are dehydrated you can have a feeling that is similar to that of hunger. Sleep, as always, is important.

This podcast is going nowhere.

I totally agree. I love getting all points of view and remaining agnostic (Steven providing the vessel for the listeners) but at some point it’s just too much. Which ultimately leaves DOAC with no point of view.

"When you account for calories" is what he said. If intermittent fasting helps you cut calories, then by all means do it if you want to lose weight.

Came here to say this , like half his episodes contradict the other half so why even watch the show ? DR Fung has plenty of research on why fasting works , plenty of other people have tons research that it does in fact work, personal experience shows it works. Kind of over this channel

Because there is a lot of nuance. Intermittent fasting itself doesn’t not cause fat loss(or at least significantly), it doesn’t break the laws of thermodynamics. However, I did lost a lot of weight myself intermittent fasting. Why? Because while doing intermittent fasting, it helped a lot with my cravings and cut out a lot of my mindless snacking. Remember, fat loss is pretty ‘simple’, eat less move more which everyone knows. The hard part is finding ways to make it easier for you. For some, that might be intermittent fasting. For some, it might be walking. It might be the carnivore diet or weight training or yoga. Which is why there might seem to be contradictions but that is just because people are wired differently. It is like asking ‘how can you make money?’, there is not universal answer that works for everyone. Some people become rich being NBA athlete, but can the ‘average’ person do that? Probably not.

Exactly what I was thinking 😂😂

Excellent summary!

Not quite accurate timing or points. Fvck AI

But will it build muscle??

It is harder to put on weights and your age, that being said it is definitely doable, especially if you would be taking outside sources of Testosterone, that being said I would recommend you only take physiological doses of testosterone if you are going down that route, and take it with the supervision of a doctor. Ok so if you have been training for only 5 months notice your training, are you getting stronger? Are you able to lift more weight? Or To do more reps? Or to do more sets? Or a combination of those. If so then you are on the right track. Something to keep in mind is that the body will get stronger for a while before seeing significant muscle mass increases, once your body increases quite substantially in its neurological adaptations, it will be forced to put on more muscle to keep increasing your strength, so, like I said, if you are getting stronger, and are able to do more throughout your workouts, it is definitely a good sign. Also be patient, you are over 60 so don’t expect to see the same results as someone who is 20, just stay consistent and make it a lifestyle. If you’re not getting stronger week to week, or are getting weaker, check that your workouts are good (I am assuming they are - remember track your reps and sets week by week, so you can try to beat your lastweek numbers). In the end you might check your bloodwork. Good luck 👍

calorie surplus to gain weight. Calorie deficit to lose weight. To recomp your body and stay the same weight change the percentages of the macro nutrients you're consuming; eg 40% protein, 40% carbs, 20% fats. Also a pre-requisite for all this to work is to figure out your BMR, find a BMR calculator on google

Two things: PLAY THE LONG GAME. You want results that take years. You have been doing nothing for decades. Don’t pretend to get the body you within 1y coz that ain’t gonna happen. Second thing: get your blood check every 3 months if you are on a cycle. It’s like your body passport

​@@truereality84 That was thorough - thank you! ❤

Why are you taking steroids at 62? Is it a vanity thing or for actual health benefits

start testosterone?

@@tahirballikaya213start injecting

​@tahirballikaya213 he's lazy, dont listen to him. Eat healthy, train hard, sleep harder and you dont need trt unless you're a b*tch

In what way do you start testosterone,

Start testosterone 😂 terrible advice, so basic

Same! I'm not even bothering to go to the gym until I find it 😅

@@pillerill89 I Can Relate 😅

You'll never find. Start hitting gym everyday and iteratively change the workout according to your requirement and strength

How do I move my cock correctly to do right growth?

Dont go. There are so many alternatives.

Pf is the worst haha

@@eazyt84 I am begining home workouts on the floor! Cheap and peacefull!!

@newworldlove7031 Awesome HIIT, Crossfit, (trail) running, cycling, hiking, bodyweight/dumbell/elastic band strength training, yoga... All great, no people, not much material needed, cheap, many good books available (videos can be great but in the end it's more noise/ distraction) I like gyms on holiday/travel when you have time, can go in the morning, no stress...

@@eazyt84 Thank you for inspiring me🙏

@jjeeqq Can I build muscle at 62?? I’m skinny fat and training hard and heavy for 5 months I even took 8 week course of steroids (testosterone cyprionate 350mg per week) and only put 6lbs on and now lost it I eat plenty protein so what’s going on is it my age as someone said it is hard to put any muscle on 60 plus?

I eat way way too much

​​​​​@@Steve24527Yeah, if you listen to the full length Podcast he says that your ability to put on muscle won't change that drastically compared to your 20s. (to an extent) It's just that there are other barriers that can make it more challenging such as energy levels, decreased mobility (less range of motion), bone density etc. I would opt in for muscle functionality and health, but you can definitely gain a few extra pounds once you've identified the problem. (if there is one)

Lol if it’s fat, you gotta worry more about nutrition then exercise.

​@@Steve245272.2 g of protein per kilo is the recommendation

So because they're both not juiced out of their eyeballs, they haven't got muscles? Your expectations are out of whack

Who said Andy galpin wants to try and look like a body builder

Your expectations are far from reality

May be his profession doesn't require a bodybuilder's physique. But he definitely aint skinny.

In the world of sports great coaches don't always have to be great athletes as they're different skills. Just look at the Olympics for example, rarely the coach will be a world level medalist but would understand how to get someone there.

Dr Andy Galpin is a world class professor, researcher and trainer. The misconception that someone needs to look like a bodybuilder in order to train someone effectively is bs

😂

You don't understand. It's fine. Some stuff is difficult.

@hooch87 yeah I bow to your superior knowledge , you smug git!

I believe black people have higher percentages of testosterone. Research that though.

Francis Ngannou for example, he's got insane genetics🧬

@akg1301 I'm not a fan of sport so I wouldn't know.

@@newworldlove7031 Google is free so is KZfaq

Higher levels of testosterone

hear, hear.

Ye and take steriods 😂

Are you trolling? Sarcasm? Or just don’t know what you are talking about?
