Path to Optimal Health
United States
Приєднався 27 лис 2006
Hello from Central Europe!
Path to Optimal Health is not a destination - it's a journey.
A journey, for some, to lose excess weight.
For others to properly maintain the weight they have.
Still, Optimal Health is more than just the physical... it includes the mental & emotional.
To that end, this channel not only focuses on weight management examples & advice,
but shares tips and ideas that hope to challenge one both mentally and emotionally.
This is still a new channel - so hang in there as we adjust content posting/timing for you... our audience.
While you're here, leave a comment, and share with us about your journey,
and perhaps leave a suggestion for the type of content you wish to see!
Until next time... Thanks for stopping by!

End goal: (old - but still headed there) :)
Bodyweight 68kg/70kg (150lb - 155lb)
Barbell Benchpress 170kg
Height 5'11" - stays the same... ;)
If you are 15 - 18 in highschool,
about 6' and weigh around 145lb - 150lb,
wondering if you can get strong or bigger...
... wonder no longer - you can.
Easier to get stronger than bigger.
* Easier to maintain into your 50s' like myself, as well.
(As you age, you will get 'bigger' - unfortunately) :P
Suprise people in your senior year when you are bench-pressing
the amount most people think only the 'big' guys can - and passing them.
* happened with me, true story, can happen to you!
Rule:
Be safe - join your schools weightlifting class so you can get (hopefully) expert advice. (wont lie, in GenX days, it was wild west with the quality of coaching we got... kinda figured it out ourselves, and got hurt as well)
...
If you are college age,
Should be good to go, advice is the same.
honestly, I started at 15 and 18 is when things took off.
Does that mean in a year you can too?
Try it out. :)
...
If you are middle age you are too busy doing whatever to care. :P
...
if you are 50s and above, you are either healthy or gave up...
dont... if you never did it - yes, it will be hard if not feel impossible.
Getting back in shape was a b**** for me...
... but easier than had i never done it.
Life is short - be safe, enjoy it!

You’re so sweet young lady! Thank you - I will take you up on your offer! 💗

@@dianajohnson2350thank you!
You should start thinking about using a multi grip bar or football bar to save your shoulders. Im 44 and have never had shoulder issues for that reason. Straight bar benching just isnt worth the risk of injury especially at 50+. If you get hurt youll never come back
Thanks brother for the advice.😊 Almost every dude (40+) in the gym says they have issues with the bench due to shoulders. I was honestly surprised- never bothered me. (Starting lifting in high school, class for 4 years + went to competitions, etc) * I did HURT my shoulder on the decline benchpress. Took on 275lbs when my flat was a 250/255lb max (Was out for 2 years) You are correct that one little slip up can lead to an serious injury, and/or a long recovery at my age. (I appreciate you pointing that out- as people truly have to be in tune with what is good for them) I just love bench-pressing … Ever hear of Jen Thompson? She is 50 years, 63kg, 5’5 and benches way over 300lb. (She hold many records with IPF, etc. for RAW, PED free bench.) * my current inspiration for powerlifting Truth be told, I would love to compete again. Get down to 74kg, get my bench up a bit more. We will see, my coach/friend keeps me on track… …to ensure my safety. Doesn’t mean I won’t try a multibar (Gym doesn’t have one) I love trying bench variations! 😊 btw, Im out of it with squat and deadlifts due to a car accident (I used to run quite a bit to make up for it) Thanks for the comment! Hope to see you around in the future here.😊
That’s so much 😱 Congrats! 4:08 perfect 👍
Thanks! 😃
Im so proud of you! I cant believe you got your 303lb! 🤯
Thanks Coach! 💗
Amazing! Congrats on all the lifting! ^_^
Thank you!! 😊
Yaaaay!!! You’re back!!! Congrats on your great progress!
Thank you! 😃
Congrats on all the heavy lifting! 😇❤️
Thank you so much 😀
Winters coming…
That would be 231lb. not 131lb. ;)
oops…thanks for the correction! 😊
Great review! Congrats on your progress!🥳🥳
Thank you!! 😊
Thanks for sharing. ❤️
No problem 😊
Good luck with everything. ❤️
Keeping the optimal egg count hidden I see. I'm surprised to hear you experienced immediate effects from the tricreatine malate. My understanding is that creatine is somehow utilized for energy inside the brain, but I wouldn't expect it to be psychoactive.
Yeah, my little secret... for now. 😊 Seriously though, I didn't provide an exact number because individuals have different nutritional and health needs. I didn't want someone blindly following one recommendation without considering personal circumstances. As for the Creatine, I had already used the monohydrate version for about a month and then bought the malate version. The effects of the malate version were noticeable right away and, for me, it provided better pure raw energy compared to the other version. However, it only goes so far if you don't have enough rest... something I've missed out on for about 3 weeks now. Honestly, this whole thing is a journey for the individual. I mean, there are the basics to build off of in regards to the type of workout (bodybuilding vs powerlifting, etc.), as well as nutrition, but at the end of the day, we all react differently based on various factors. The most we can do is research, safely experiment, share results, and, most of all, have fun. Thanks for the comment, and good luck on your journey, brother.
Congrats!
Congrats!
Congratulations on all the amazing progress! 😇
Thank you!! 😊
Gorgeous.
You are!
Congrats on all the amazing progress. 😇❤️ Very impressive. 💕
Thank you so much!
Been using Iso Barbell Bench press my self infrequently, managed to increase my 10rep max from 60kg to 80 in a month! I rest the barbel on safety bars so I’m in the bar on chest phase , load it up to 150kg and try to move it from there: an ‘overcoming’ Iso as oppose to your ‘yielding’ Iso. Defiantly going to try your version too now!
Nothing like the feel of success when it comes to moving up with your bench goals - so Congrats on your accomplishment. If you do try the technique, let me know how it goes. Careful, though brother, as it’s an easy shoulder accident wanting to happen - mainly due to the angle of the body and the load being pushed up. Thanks for sharing your method, and again, congrats!
First cat video I got immersed into and actually liked
Great job!
Thanks!
Love the scenery!
You are crazy amazing! I am so impressed!!! 🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀
Thank you so much for your support!!! 💗
😻😽😻🙀
Very Beautiful! 💗 the cats!
Congrats!
Thank you!
You are amazing !!😘🙀😁
Thank you for all your support, young lady! 💗
Nicely put together!
TIme stamps now up! (Thanks to my VFX artist for all the work!)
You are amazing as always! Make sure ,however, to be safe. Its always better to be slow and get your goal than rushing and injuring yourself and not being able to get your goal. Remember the story of the bunny and the turtle. When it comes to the gym you can be the turtle.😉
Thanks! I will definitely try to be careful… ☺️
Congrats!🎉
Thank you! 😊
Amazing. 😇
indeed it was…
Thanks for sharing. 🐼

Thanks to my producer for putting this video together! (Excellent job and a lot of patience!) 😀
Agreed, beautiful work. 💓
