In the unforgiving realm of strongman competitions, the pursuit of strength often takes center stage. But a strong heart and healthy body are the foundation upon which unparalleled strength is built.
Today, we explore why being a formidable force in the world of strongman isn't just about lifting heavier; it's about mastering the delicate harmony between strength, endurance, and overall well-being.
Welcome to Episode 6 of "No Stone Unturned," where we unravel the essential yet often overlooked aspect of a strongman's journey-monitoring health and embracing a holistic approach to fitness. We're breaking stereotypes, shattering preconceived notions, and paving the way for the next era in strongman athleticism.
At the end of each video, I'm going to provide a score based on three crucial aspects: Personal Enjoyment, The Scientific Evidence, and The Practicality for the Average Athlete. You'll be able to compare it to the other dimensions of this series.
I hope you enjoy and please share your thoughts in the comments.

"reducing caffeine intake" Mitchells darkest nightmare
👀👀
🏃🏻♂️ 💨 ________ ☕️
I think this is a huge factor in what has catapulted Mitch ahead of seasoned competitors so quickly. Whereas other strongmen still eat like crap and get monstrously huge (assuming it’s *the* prerequisite for strength) Mitch has adopted a far more cerebral approach. The results speak for themselves.
Don't think you can say that any of the top tier moden strongmen eat like crap
lol all of the top athletes take their diets super seriously. Mitch is just freak of the freaks.
This is great! Thanks to you, Eddie, and Brian's UA-cam pages, I have lost 60lbs over the past two years and am still losing! Thank you for everything you do. And congratulations on the bébé! 🎉
Wow, what a loser.
(Nice job.)
This whole series has been fantastic, loved every video
Love to hear it, what episode has been your favourite?
@@mitchellhooperstrongman definitely this one, very informative
Love you man. As an alcoholic I feel I can bounce back for me and my family ❤ truly an inspiration. I hurt my back years ago and felt useless. But now I'm going to try harder.
best of luck bro, either PT or chiro that back on up but you definitely got this
There’s a way to lift that heals your body. Focusing on technique, mobility, and strengthening the areas where you’re weakest. Lifting weights is an absolutely essential part of my sobriety: it’s almost like making amends to the body after years of abuse
Last November I went to the doctor for the first time in years. I knew I was obese but found out I'm starting to get high blood pressure. I've had uncles and cousins having heart attacks in their 30s, so that was a big wake up call. Been lifting or walking every day since December. So far I'm down 10lb and feeling way more energy and fewer aches and pains.
This helps keep me motivated! LHBK 💪
Please get that in check. But more so, do you research on vascular problems Lots of youtube doctors to discuss various area. Mine was high for 15 years. I'm 40 now. It took 4 months of changes to get it in check. It was 140-150 upper and 90's for that time. Now it's 115-120s upper and 75-80 lower. I'm not totaly sure on one thing that is the cure. But it's everything. Try exercising with nasal breathing. No mouthwash, no alcohol, no sugar. No fluoride. Give it one month. Slow breathing. Forcing/focusing on the whole diaphragm to be an active part of your breath. Look Stig Severinsen for some breath work. Or do you own. Slow in 4 sec, hold for 4, out for 4 seconds. Box breath. or other variations. You could monitor heart rate varibility to see if it improves with various things. But heart attacks are complex and maybe one thing vs many others. Get the darn seed oils out of your diet for life. That is definitely a major reason for vascular problems. Just that alone can effect things. They are highly inflammatory. It can reduce clotting factors. Or ramp them up. Again it's not one reason for one result. Be well. Cold showers are a sure way to check for circulation problems.
Well done 🎉😄💪
Don't pay any attention to the BP at a doctor's office (unless it's really high), get a blood pressure monitor and measure it yourself regularly. Even people who don't feel stressed or nervous at a doctor's office may have BP 10 or 15 points higher there. If you are stressed, because of "doctor anxiety" and/or because you're sick or in pain, it could be 40/25 higher. Also, they often measure it right after you sit down and are sitting in an uncomfortable position, which is completely wrong. And it can vary for no apparent reason at a particular time on a particular day. My morning pressure averages 115/75, but every now and then it's as high as 135/85, with no apparent change in diet, sleep, stress, etc. I've measured as high as 160/100 in a doctor's office after being violently sick for a day, even though I was feeling mostly better by the time I went in.
And the same goes for blood sugar. Fasted blood sugar can vary a lot, but some doctors will diagnose you from one reading. Get a glucose monitor and measure it every morning for a few weeks to get a real idea (and I'd suggest getting some glucose pills and doing your own glucose tolerance test at least once). If it's all good, you can test once every few months or something. If it's not, you can modify your diet and test regularly.
As a healthy, active 30 year old, I ended up in the hospital for 3 weeks with congestive heart failure and stroke. Turns out a virus had damaged my heart a year prior, and going untreated caused everything to get worse. One BP check during that year would have flagged something was wrong and avoided what followed. No matter how fit you are, monitor your health.
I applaud Mitchell's willingness to be vulnerable with these videos.
Mitchell's editor keeps getting better. Love the effort put into making these videos great!
you added it to a playlist, so i could see it before upload
should have just said first hahaha
@@diogoinacio9793 Ahem... first.
Sneaky sneaky 🤫

Some people really can't understand that an overly large body is never healthy 😂 Big muscles doesn't mean lack of visceral fat.
Just done my 2 mile uphill treadmill power walk with a 20kg weight vest, after my deadlift session. Watched this and it helped get me through the tedious cardio! Cheers mate.
One of my favorite series thank you for doing this
Love the honesty!!!!
Excellent content. Great stuff Moose. Thanks for the perspective and the honesty.
Loving this series!
Kelly was very informative!
Mitch …. This series of no stone unturned is just a remarkable series that you’re doing…. I’m not surprised I kind of expected you would go in this direction and I think you’re the best man for it. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much. Looking forward to much more and can’t wait till the day we actually meet in person.
great conversation Mitchell, thanks for keeping awareness up in community
Thanks Mitch for attempting to help all of mankind. Im working on it. This was very informative.
Thank you for talking about blood pressure. So important and I don't think talked about a lot. Great video!
Love this series! Great job this past weekend btw
#LHBK
I’m convinced being this open with your health will educate a lot of people and help them with their help. Fantastic. Thanks!

11:55 Still can’t get over where Mitch came from. His story is wild and shows that through your mind you can achieve basically anything
Congratulations your win keep it going 💪
Keep getting that blood pressure down. Godspeed!
it was time some one show all this thanks Mitchell !! its awesome , a big work all those vdo
Awesome episode!
Great video thank you
Mitch, I love this series and how informative it is, as well as the entertainment aspect of it.
I was always fairly "skinny" throughout college and my early 20's. I ran track, played football, and then joined the military where my body weight was somewhat regulated. I was always fairly "strong" for my bodyweight/my standards, but when I got out of the military I decided to put on weight for a Strongman competition.
I am only 5' 9", so my usual weight of 175-180 lbs (around 80 kg) still put me in the "overweight" category according to my BMI. I jumped up to 220 lbs (just under 100 kg) for the competition, and while my strength went up significantly according to my PRs, my athleticism suffered significantly and my BMI indicated that I was now obese. I definitely felt heavier and less healthy at the heavier weight, but I would not say I was obese, but that's what my BMI indicated. I came to the Arnold in Columbus this year for the Strongman Classic and re-discovered my love for Strongman, so I am training for another competition that is happening this summer, but I am now back down to my original weight around 177 lbs (80 kg), and I am planning to compete in the lightweight division. My overall strength is not nearly what it was when I was 220 lbs, but I can feel a HUGE difference when it comes to the athleticism in my movements (I started using the split jerk technique for Axle overhead and log overhead after seeing your videos, it feels GREAT).
Sorry for the long message/story, I just love what you are doing for the sport of strongman right now. You are dominating in every competition you compete in, you are kind and responsive to your fans, you are doing the real-life new dad thing while remaining on top of the sport of strongman, and you are helping the normal people (like me) learn how to take care of our bodies while still being able to push them and compete at the highest level possible. I know you have only been in strongman for a few years now, but you are near the top of the all-time totem pole because of the person that you are. Thanks for all that you do for the sport and for the fans of strongman, you inspire us all to LHBK every day.
I love what you are talking about I this video series I strongly believe in what you are talking about . Keep it up good luck at worlds hope you win
Another great video
Great video.
Whole series has been great, this is an element of strongman which is difficult to find info on. the blood pressure is something thats very difficult to get any kind of information on when it comes to big men like yourself
Im 44. I do 30 minutes Yoga day one, 30 minutes rowing machine day two and 30 minutes kettlebell day 3. One hour 30 minutes per week and never felt better, easy and enjoyable. Always solid advice from Mitch thank you! Look after your body as you age.
I think the definition of exercising at a level 7-8 out of 10 as a max as moderate is aggressive. Zone 2 training which is by most considered moderate is defined as exercising hard enough that you can carry on a conversation but just barely. I would think this is more like a 5-6 out of 10 than a 7-8. I really appreciate the perspective that this series presents
Yeah noticed that too
I guess it depends how many adjectives you have in your pocket
I thought the same thing. Keep his heart rate somewhat elevated, but a 7 is pushing yourself
Mitchell you are the best, i am always rooting for you. And we have born in the same year btw. Very big fan of yours.🎉🙂
Enjoyed these videos immensely.
I wish you could talk a bit more candidly about the use of PEDs in strongman/bodybuilding in a similar fashion.
I reckon it would be a smash hit.
Not saying this is the case for Hooper or anyone else in particular. They all have their personal reasons.
But often times guys simply can't talk about it for various reasons. Sponsors, work, and promoters can all be a reason why. Also, here in the states for example, many "steroids" are flat out illegal and it can be factored into visa applications of people coming here to compete. There's more reasons to, some just don't want to discuss at all.
Even in BB where it is becoming more open, most still wait until they retire to talk about it.
I do think gear being taboo is unfortunate and does more harm than good. But it is what it is.
@@GG-EZPZ55in strongman it’s more difficult to talk about ped usage. Even if the athlete has no personal qualms with taking about it and their sponsors are ok with them talking about it they can’t if they want to compete at wsm
Wsm says that peds are strictly forbidden and that anyone caught with illegal substances in their system when drug tested will be disqualified (so they do recreational drug tests instead of performance enhancing drug tests in order to not have to disqualify everyone) even someone like Mitch who has plenty of popularity (especially Mitch himself because of the amount of haters he has who don’t know the sport well enough to know everyone is on gear but will attribute his success solely to him being on gear and it being an unfair advantage) couldn’t talk about it because unless every other top strongman started to talk about it as well, wsm would brush them under a rug
@nolan564 hit the nail on the head.
It's a shame because I think talking about it could persuade kids from touching the stuff and save young people's lives. The amount of 18-30 year old's I see on tren, test etc is astounding.
@@sfrrob at the very least people might hear what the worlds strongest me are running and then question if they’re taking too much. For years, when people wanted to find out what to take for their first cycle they’d either go to a forum online or to the biggest guy in their gym and the answer was usually “500 test minimum or you’re wasting your time”. By their 3rd cycle they’d be pinning over a gram a week. Now there’s pro bodybuilders coming out saying the most the ever ran was 700 test and that beginner cycles should be like a couple hundred test per week. John haack is completely open about what he takes as the best powerlifter in the world and it’s only like 300 test and some anadrol or anavar which is less than the minimum beginner cycle the internet say
Tldr; the pros numbers will definitely be lower than randos on the internet and it’ll maybe make people rethink how much they actually need to take
Awesome series! Recently picked up Rogue’s Echo Bike as pre and post work out and found it to be a nice warm ip cool down
Love the honesty and transparency of Mitch. Most Strong man, powerlifters, bodybuilders never would show their real health results like this. Most would make up their health markers or exaggerate that they are healthy. She should take into account Mitch’s amount of muscle mass though, height etc. Completely different
Great video. I don’t think BMI is the best indicator of overall health, but it is a useful tool to see where you’re at.
My Father and I both have somewhat higher blood pressures as well. We are quite active as well. One thing that we've noticed has lowered blood pressure (atleast in us) was CONSISTENT usage of the sauna. By consistent, I mean 1 session per day of about 20 minutes (which gets pretty difficult sometimes). He owns a sauna which permits the consistent usage, but just something I've observed and thought I would share.
This actually gave me the kick in the pants i needed to get on the weight loss train. I stepped on the scale while watching this and saw a number i havent seen in awhile. Sneaks up faster than you think
You should talk about steroids and their impact on health as well. And what steps you take to have them not be as damaging as they can be.
He addressed in a past video why he will not being doing this
I would so much like to think there's all your competition taking notes and reassessing/adjusting their tactics in trying to succeed in strongman!
Mitch, this is right on time. Flu last week, and Pneumonia this week had me at the doctor's. Blood pressure was 155/100 😮. Completely freaked me out, and I felt discouraged 😞 about taking blood pressure medz. Literally telling my wife TODAY that you're the same height, but 320 lbs, and fine. It means a lot that you shared you're taking medz to manage blood pressure. Thanks for the help.
Base knowledge: "To meet your goals, you have to be alive."
Hope you're able to get some R&R after 2 back to back Arnold's. Congrats Mitch
Forget the athlete part for a second; you’re going to become a phenomenal educator and father in years to come
Moose, My Garmin watch counts all my intensity minutes for me and seems pretty easy to get target each week with my 5 strength workouts. You mention calculation? I think I’ve seen you with a sports watch before, maybe I’m wrong and surprised you have to TRY to get 150mins/wk. BTW, Congrats on another win this past weekend. You're on fire Bro!
Hi Mitch, man you're such an inspiration man. I am in my mid 30s. I am 6 feet tall and have struggled with body weight. I am definitely trying to change that because I want to be as healthy as I can be. They told me my bodybuilding fat is 34% and I weigh 295 pounds lol, almost as much as you but not even close in the muscle department. But you're a beast oo your own. I love your content and keep going strong.
Looks like you're morbidly a BEAST 💪😎
Cardio: Try crawling...child, lizard, bear. Push a sled or pull....lower weight. or Cal Dietz strategy. Bench and deadlift.....choose 50% of 1 RM then do one rep and go back and forth one and one for 8min. no rest in between!
i use the treadmill alot, while deployd this year, would use a 13.0 incline at 3.3 mph , did that for an hourevery other day, keeping my heart rate at 133-150 for an hour
currently im down 35 lbs , i was 247, and 4 wasit sizes
Miitch, massive respect putting your personal health numbers out there. It isn't simple, especially when the numbers aren't perfect. I also think the health risks of strongman (and elite sports in general) is slightly underappreciated.
I wonder if Mitchell can openly talk about steroid use in strong man and what are the health consequences of that. Would love an episode about that
I wish yall would stop asking this. Everyone knows they're on steroids, it's not a big fucking secret and most don't care.
@@user-kn1uj2tp6rI agree with you. However, PEDs are more deleterious to health than all the things Mitch talks about in this video.
Mitch, Zwift is a great, fun way to get in some miles on a bike or a treadmill. Greg Doucette is a Zwift fan! Also, keep attacking that airdyne-style bike.
The 6 minute mark gave me god damn asmr listening to that music
I started running at 275 on 4/1 of last year after losing 121lbs over 2 years. my last blood pressure test was 3/13 of last week. i was at 113, 71 at 87 heart rate, just did some shoulder work 40 minutes prior. just do some slow zone 2 running and go for a mile once a week.
Great video Mitch, thank you very much 👍as i understood you take blood pressure meds. Can you tell us which type exactly?
Thank you very much for kind replie 👍
Waist ratio can be heavily affected by the muscle in your back obliques and abs yeah it may still have merit but you definitely have to take that into consideration also
I agree, misconception on doing cardio, decreased strength. I’m not amazingly strong but happy with my progress. I was 100kg and eating a good amount and putting on get to get my lifts up went from 90kg bench to 135kg bench, 70kg overhead press to 100kg and 160kg deadlift to 188 etc. over 3 months, but put on over 10lb! Felt slow, so started losing weight and dieting, down to 91kg and guess what! I’m bloody stronger, leaner etc all I did was keep to the same lifting and adding in cardio before etc. was worried it would make my progress worse, but it didn’t. Mitchel makes a really good point, cardio doesn’t make us less strong, I started the weight loss journey because of him etc, before Mitchell’s points I was always under the impression size meant strength (obviously does), alot more food etc but at my level, it doesn’t seem to make much difference
Great series. Does everyone have those puma socks?
When I was at my fattest, aka a completely sedentary Jabba the Hutt kind of blob, my BMI was still lower than yours at 38. Crazy how much muscle matters.
It's wild that Mitch is like 330 cause unless he's next to a normal sized person he looks normal sized
@@wanderer_oti I am sure Mitch is monster of a man when you see him in person but it's wild to think how normal he looks on TV when he has like 50 pounds on prime Brock Lesnar lol.
BMI is just not a particularly good statistic, because it doesn’t take into account body composition at all
I have started "rucking" currently walking 9km daily with 16kg. The goal was actually to start running but I prefer rucking.
I feel like an aspect of the critiques against BMI that you did not address is it is calibrated on mainly white/European people which is a small percentage of the world population. It is possible that certain ethnicities have naturally higher muscle mass and thus it is not as accurate. On top of this, there are a lot of confounding variables when it comes to high bmi (strongly associated with poverty in US and living in a food desert) so whether this is the main causal factor of adverse health outcomes might not be as clear cut as this video makes it seem. Social justice acknowledges the difficulties of the strategies you mention and is not antithetical to science (ex. not everyone lives in walkable neighborhoods)
Just watch your total calorie intake & exercise! (you do not need to eat multiple times a day)
I always think about this topic. "I should do more cardio. It's really my heart and lungs that matter. Sure, I can squat 450lbs, but I probably can't run a mile under 10 minutes." I should get on the treadmill, but..... I hate cardio. My blood pressure and cholesterol are really good.
I think it's funny that on the machines there you're lifting the entire stack. I am sure they are not use to that.
The average american is looking at Mitch marvelling at how fight, healthy and in shape he looks.
Hey mitch, liking this series alot, regarding the cardiovascular issues you've mentioned you might want to research a supplement called AHCC, i'm not a doctor but as someone thats been in the fitness space for a very long time and some study into eastern medicine I feel like its something you may benefit from, but like i said do your due diligence as theirs no way for me to know specifics (i have seen this help others in the past though, talking from personal experience)
Why did you not have bloodwork done, cholesterol etc? And what is the debate you spole of? Another great video👍
Sorry but this guys inspirational
Show us your MRI. Please get one. Dr Sean was on the presidential team to keep them well. And many others. He's seen some scans in his day. Fatty heart is a thing for sure.
im not caked in muscle, i am muscular, but people wouldnt call me buff. Because of my skeletal frame i am considered overweight on the bmi test. It is really a test for an average sized, non athletic person.
9:00
"Yes"
Holy Moly, Hooper. I have so much to say about this series. Love it. I fucked myself right up while going through 90s gym science. Paid for it, too!
What episode has been your favourite?
@@mitchellhooperstrongman well....I think I put the exclamation point on this video. Keep it up! You gigantic moose!
@@mitchellhooperstrongman heart health. The size to weight ratio. The amount of shit you're ingesting. Or injecting.
I loved the scene/sport in the 90s. Stayed huge and strong then...POP!. That was it.
I'd be interested to see how going through these efforts changed the perceptions you had going in. Clearly, you were never a fan of hot/cold. And you have always said strongman (and most peak athletic effort) isn't healthy, though focusing on health is important for most people. But it'd be cool to see what changed your mind the most, and why. Awesome series, thanks for sharing!
You should consider daily l citruline malate for your blood pressure its a natural way to help keep blood pressure down without having to take a bunch of blood pressure meds its help me out alot
Does the waist to heigh ratio mean much for someone like you who is far more heavily muscled that the "average male"? The BP is definitely high, but the rest of your numbers seem pretty self-explanatory.
Also, what are your thoughts on using swimming vs running/biking as your form of cardio while trying to maintain maximum strength?
Swimming could be a good idea to minimize stress on the joints!
Yes, waist to height ratio is reasonable for people with high muscle mass. Bodybuilders, for example, would have very small waists despite high muscle mass.
Geez could only imagine what Eddie's measurements would of been when he won WSM!
I think when Keeley said "7 out of 10" for effort, she didn't quite understand how hard you are capable of pushing yourself
Can aerobic exercise reduce visceral fat independent of a calorie deficit?
Hey Mitchell, serious question. Given your success and how rapidly you are progressing in the sport, do you still consider retiring early based off your health knowledge....even though you still have records to set....do u have these considerations?
Yes
12:53 what he doesn't tell you is that's a 19" laptop 😂
Hey Mitchell, I realize you can’t check and reply to every comment. I’m hoping I just get lucky. Wondering what your advice would be about joint health. I’m 39, been working out since I was 15, played football at the University level in Canada so granted my body has taken a bit of a beating. However, what really bothers me is my elbow’s. I had a scope done, and my elbow is worse now than before the surgery. I still lift but can’t lift as heavy, I use elbow straps and stuff, but my elbows and forearms just hurt constantly. Can you repair bad ligaments and joints with supplements? Is there anything you would suggest. I don’t want to give up my active lifestyle but at the same time want to be able to play with my kids still and not be in pain everyday.
You may be interested in what happened with Matt Wenning recently. Reach out to Matt for the best details but from what I understand his BP was only slightly elevated during his competition years... however years of maximal efforts (1000 pound squats etc) caused short periods of extreme BP that built up enough damage to his kidneys to become an issue now. I am sure your BP was pretty crazy when you were running around with a 1000 pound yoke on you. So probably something that would be good to keep an eye on. Matt went to Mexico for some stem cell treatments so it will be interesting to see if that reverses the damage.
Mitchell don’t you think it would be a good idea for the world strongest man to change a bit to accommodate cardio vascular health.. strong and fast instead of strong and slow yes not as strong but would be a healthy and better showing in my opinion on someone who can axel press heavy weights and run and have a height/weight cap from the max limit of a healthy bmi level.
14:10 this just counts the time during the working sets? Isn't that different from the literature and thereby an underestimation of it's effect?
For strongman what is the bigger health risk? Caffeine intake? Or "super creatine?"
Depends how much of each you’re taking, I suppose
Spiritual awakening and wellness is the next step of health and wellness Mitch
Awesome series! Although, I still think this series should've been called "No Stone Unlifted"...
I'd say healthy heart and strong body.
Great video. Good points on science always being the trump card over social justice. So many people do not accept the importance of heath.
You can’t talk health markers, if you ignore the presence of roids in your training regime. Blood pressure, visceral fat, cholesterol all affected by roid use.
Thankfully most people are not on PEds. Top level athletes are, but he constantly reminds us that level is not particularly healthy
According to some authorities, pulse pressure is even more indicative of CVD than the systolic and diastolic BP. Yours happens to be 65, which is high. Please look into this, and thanks for your inspiring videos.
You are correct mines always 52 bpm it used to be 60 before my fitness journey
I think you may be confusing Pulse Pressure with Heart Rate. Pulse pressure is the difference between Systolic and Diastolic. It's the most important BP number to know.
@@SeanNeedham-ub5zr
Genuinely, when I saw monitoring "health" I was assuming you'd have some more useful testing - things like blood pressure, heart rate are here but in addition I was expecting more blood work, V02 max and fitness benchmarking. Things like waist circumference ratio to height and BMI are intentionally generic and really not at all what I would find to be useful for you, specifically. I get at the end you're making a point about body positivity and how you can't really get around the fact that health is tied to weight to a large extent, but I just feel like this missed the mark a bit in terms of what health monitoring is actually useful for gym-goers and what the audience was probably looking for.
Some good info in there but BMI doent work for athletes with high muscle content, Brian shaw for instance is only about 18% body fat @ 380Ibs .
Just saw this was covered later in video 😬
😉
PS - Brian Shaw is not 18% body fat
Brian is like 30% lol
@@mitchellhooperstrongman True, he is only 16%, as per his video he uploaded yesterday
I respect what Mitch is saying about BMI being important...but it's been a sensitive subject for me. In my best cardiovascular shape...I was a young stud 22 year old Marine at 5-11 196lbs.(about 10-12% body fat) and I could do 37 pull ups and 140 push ups(no rest). But as i got older I did TRT at 40 and I buffed up to 265lbs(about 18% body fat) and could bench my weight 36 times. I felt I was in great shape! But my Dr. checked out my BMI and told me I was "grossly obese" and wanted me to drop down to 190lbs. I was 265bs of muscle and couldn't pinch an inch of fat on my belly. I was insulted and also confused that an intelligent Dr could be so ignorant. I told my Dr I worked really hard for my muscle and didn't think losing 75lbs was realistic or even something I wanted. He told me he was my height and 190. But he was a skinny pencil necked bicyclist. I was built like a linebacker in the NFL. So I never respected BMI after that. My Dr told me not to be insulted by the "obese" comment...because it was a "clinical" medical term/definition. But nobody wants to be called obese when they work so hard at building the muscle they have. Now that I'm older(54) I'm a buff and slightly chubby at 235. My goal is to be more defined at about 220-225. 190-200 would be easy if I just stopped lifting weights. F that!
I think the best way to think of BMI or the terms obese/overweight in general to avoid unintentional insult is that they don't always mean you're fat. They can and oftentimes do but like Mitchell said in the video it simply means your making your body deal with more weight than is generally considered healthy. Like what was also said in the video, you can even mitigate and work on those risk factors like strengthening your heart but it is, in general, outside the norm of healthy.
It is unhealthy to have a high body weight. It is unhealthy to have low muscle mass. It is unhealthy to have high body fat. No single one of these is a diagnosis, and your doctor should do a better job of communicating that BMI alone is not appropriate, but it is also inappropriate to be totally ignored
@@mitchellhooperstrongman Thanks, Mitch. Agreed. I actually got along with that Dr after we talked and were on the same page. Unfortunately he retired 2 years ago and now I have to train a new Doc. I practically had to beg for my testosterone gel even though I had 4 labs show below 200. Finally got it after a serious lecture on side effects. Not trying to get big in my older age...but I need the energy and the motivation to get to the gym and deal with the pain recovering.
No mention of kidney health and markers
