@@fran9023problem with them blowing up is.. alot of these videos are medical topics or training related. People get lost in the jargon. I remember putting one of these on for my Ma and it just went over her head. So I think it's hard for general public to digest some of the stuff they talk about. And yeah just not consistent in uploading. Which is a shame after following since 2018 I could of sworn they would of blown up by now. They've taught me so much in my training.
I started resistance training in my 50s with a history of being only an aerobic athlete. I am now 68 and even recently have I seen muscle growth. Currently the “slow step” in my progress is my joint health. I bounced back from rotator cuff repair, total hip replacement and coronary artery angioplasty/stent. I fully expect to keep gaining or maintaining strength as long as I do the work.
I've always felt it was great to lift weights, and purchased my first home gym in the late 1980's and have had one ever since. I am a man who will be 68 soon and feel as strong as always. I feel lucky to have this room in my home and will hopefully always have a way to keep up this habit. People have said I don't look my age, and have no joint or any other pain. I do intake a lot of protein each day as well. I do this inspite of having asthma, cardio vascular issues (mild heart attack and stents), but I feel as good as I always have. I hope to continue this until I die.
I didn't start heavy resistance training until I was in my early 40s. Now that I am in my early 50s, I am profoundly thankful for picking up the habit (so to speak). Barbell Medicine has been a trusted guide through this journey. I appreciate the effort that goes into these productions. Much obliged!
Thank you for this. I'm going to show this to my sister (59F), who last week, tripped over her own feet and fell over, fracturing her L hip and elbow in the process. A BDS revealed she has severe osteoporosis with a T score of -3. She is underweight, under muscled and doesn't eat anywhere near enough protein and, of course, has never strength trained. I have been telling her for the last 12 years that this is what would happen to her. She never listened to me, maybe she will to you.
Am I interpreting correctly that M3 and M4 aged people (or older) should train with a varied full body program that includes high intensity and volume to tolerance and should eat above 1.6g/kg of protein (perhaps 1g/lb for simplicity) and hope for the best? Not unlike what younger people should do, although they likely don't need as much protein.
34 here, it can be hard to stay motivated when all you expect is strength maintenance or deterioration, and comparing yourself to juniors pulling 800+... Staying "healthy" doesn't resonate much with me at this point of my life, improvement in performance is what drives me to train, even though i may never win a medal. So i really appreciate this video because it gives me a lot of hope for my future. In the last year, I took my recovery/training more seriously and my total went from 900 to 1100, which convinced me that even at my age anything is possible with enough dedication and positive thinking.
I'll be 80 in July. Been weight training 5-6 days a week since I was 16. Olimpic lifting and other sports in High School. Mostly bodybuilding after high school. Not competitive. In 2016 I started Powerlifting. I did my first meet in 2017 in the APF, Raw Tested. I lifted in three different weight classes. Two age devisions. In July it will be three age divisions, weight 75kg Age 80+. In most of my meets, I was stronger then the last. In the last three months or so I can't gain more straight. In fact I'm losing a little. I have a goal I want to set for this next meet. I don't think I will get there. I think in my case. The year 79 is going to be my cutoff from getting much stronger. I see I'm losing some muscle mass and gaining more fat, not gaining more weight. I'm eating the same amount of food, protein, crabs and fats as always. In fact I added a little more protein. I'm lifting the same weight I did at my last meet in 2023 but I'm not hitting my goal for my next meet. One or two Kilos for each, squat, bench and deadlift. I have three months till my next meet. I will soon find out.
I think you could riff on the subject a bit more naturally. I do understand writing this out and reading it has likely reduced your post filming editing by a ton. If youre doing this alone you need to find help with the work load. This channel has so much potential to help thousands.
N=1 case. I am 57yo, have been an endurance athlete all my life frequently placing on the top 1 to 5% on my age group. I am 6 foot tall and weight 160 pounds. I never lifted regularly. Started lifting 6 months ago. I am a bit lost about it. Shall I focus more on hypertrophy or strength? Or even power? Is sarcopenia the enemy to attack or just lack of strength?
Hi there! Congrats on starting! In general, there's a huge overlap between training for size and strength. A good strength program should increase muscle mass, and a good hypertrophy program should increase strength in the movements trained. For folks starting out, we recommend training all the major muscle groups using a variety of different movements and rep ranges to build size, strength, and movement proficiency. We talk about this in detail here: www.barbellmedicine.com/blog/the-beginner-prescription-blog/
well at the age of 68 I can't seem to prevent some kind of training injury, at least someone has addressed the importance of weight training with data to support it. thanks!
I’m sorry. Had to stop about a third way into this. Sounded like a robot/AI reading a script and I just found it too hard to listen to and concentrate on.
This UA-cam channel is criminally under-subscribed
They don't post regularly. It's a shame

Sarcopenia aka loss of muscle can also lead to non skeletal muscle loss. This is what i tell my patients, in some cases can cause heart failure

Best fitness/health channel on UA-cam
As a 62 year old (who lifts), I really appreciate this information. Thank you.
A very positive message, indeed
May God guide you and preserve you sir.
^^same. 64yo Oly lifter here. 💪
@jillschuster2157 most excellent
Jordan and the barbell medicine crew are amazing people with wealth of knowledge . I wish more people subscribe and listen to this
Jordans non blinking stare nuances the soul
It's the anabolic stare

It's great. I started lifting at 40. Now 45 and i'm a much more robust human being than in my twenties.
Where have you been Jordan?? I hope all is well, and that more content is coming up ❤
He (or they as in BBM) still regularly post podcast episodes on the Barbell Medicine Podcast. You can find it on basically any podcast app.

Great material. He has a Master of speed speaking.
Very interesting! 53 here and have been supplementing with protein for a few months (never did it before) and it does seem to help get stronger.
Hey Doc, what happen to your technique reviews of submitted lifting videos?
Am I interpreting correctly that M3 and M4 aged people (or older) should train with a varied full body program that includes high intensity and volume to tolerance and should eat above 1.6g/kg of protein (perhaps 1g/lb for simplicity) and hope for the best?

Pretty reasonable recommendation.

Believe me, when you See your parents' health break down you will start value health and it will be a big motivator.
This was a great podcast. Thanks!
Great content thanks!
Love you bro! ❤
Great video as always Jordan!!
This was very informative. Thank you!
👏👏👏👏nice content
Yes! I was waiting for more content!
is the camera man holding you at gunpoint. Blink twice if you need help.
It me, I’m the cameraman and I do need help 😂

What can we do? Lift and eat properly for life.
To me it doesnt make sense to read papers out loud but dont even show any pictures of them in the video to visualize the given info
I am summarizing my interpretation of the studies cited, but perhaps I can find a way to use the studies as b-roll!
well at the age of 68 I can't seem to prevent some kind of training injury, at least someone has addressed the importance of weight training with data to support it. thanks!
Five star review
What's up, Jordy! 😂
*scrolling comments looking for a thirsty follower for Jordan to reply "Ma'am this is a Wendy's....."
I’m sorry. Had to stop about a third way into this. Sounded like a robot/AI reading a script and I just found it too hard to listen to and concentrate on.
No need to apologize. I have been sent from the future. My cpu is a neural net processor: a learning computer.
When Skynet becomes self-aware, some of these details will be ironed out.
@@BarbellMedicine just realised I came across way too serious there! Didn’t mean to. Love your output, keep it up please!
