Chad, I'm 63,a widow and an Army veteran. Just yesterday I bought 10 sacks of horse feed. 50 pounds each. 500 pounds total. I unloaded and emptied the sacks into my two broken chest freezers all by myself. I usually do that twice a month. The main thing is to not stop moving but don't hurt yourself. I see retired people when I go into town and they just stopped living. It is sad.
Good for you! And you are right, never stop living. I see a lot of people get to a point where they look for a sofa to lay down and wither away on. My Mom is 68 and her and her husband go hiking all the time, snow machining, and are constantly outdoors. Their zest for life is making me jealous and inspiring me to be more like them. But you said it, you gotta take care of yourself.
Yep i got hurt in a motor cycle wreck broke my pelvis in 7 places got screws and plates and drop foot from it jerked my hip 3 inches out of place. Internal injury s. God and them Drs and nurses at Erlanger saved me i was there 3 months then had to go back for another surgery was supposed be there 4 days but wound up another month infection and hospital pneumonia set it . But yeah you lay down you die. ... We used to keep our feed in a big old chest freezer
You’re right, slow down go down. Unfortunately for me I have a lot of old injuries that keep me challenged daily. My main go to exercise are pushups and squats.
About 2 years ago while working corrections i had a stroke , two blood clots went to the base of my brain , and i was air flighted to the hospital . Im almost 64 . I was introduced to weights as part of physical therapy , ive always been very active, martial arts , hunting , shooting , hiking , horses , dogs , kayaking . I workout 3 to 4 hours , 4 or 5 nights a week now , my motto is "Either get better or die" . I do a farmers carry with 50lbs in each arm , around the gym . I go from sets of weight (16 machines)to treadmill and farmers carries sets , i alternate back and forth for about 3 to 4 hours it feels better afterwards . The farmers carries and treadmill seem to help my balance , core and stride . Ive increased weight and reps which really seems to help . Stay strong in Christ .
@@eddaniels3404 Boy apparently you don't know anything about strokes .

Farmer strength is a real thing! My grandfather is almost 80 and still bucks bales, feeds the hogs, and is way stronger than he looks. I've done my fair share of bucking bales of hay and straw, thousands of them in a day during the summer in a hot barn, definitely a full body workout. Respect those old farmers, they are tough SOB's!
Sandbags are effective tools to gain strength. It made me stronger fast. But even though I've been using it for 2 years, it is still a brutal exercise! I love it!
Keep going forward keep moving i'm sixty nine my back is destroyed I got two Clog arteries Behind my knee on both legs and sciatic on my left leg it kicking my ass but i keep walking and i go to the gym three times a week at five am for two hours and i do feel stronger.for 2 years now .
I'm not 80 but I am over 70 years of age. The truth is that we will never be as fit as we were at 20, 30 or 40, however, those of us who are former combat vets especially Nam vets CAN be a force multiplier by strengthening ourselves as much as possible with our limitations and by becoming MECHANIZED in the form of ATV's and Motorcycles. This provides us transportation to a location where we can assist in fighting. Blessings!!!
Yep and although nobody wants to die it is much easier for an old guy to allow himself to be sacrificed in order to allow the younger men to escape and fight another day.@@mmtruslow

I got GBS March of 22. Spent 31 days in the hospital and ended up with no feeling from head to toe and in a wheelchair. I always thought if something gor me this bad, it would have been while I was serving, but those injuries didn't stop me from pushing for long. But for the last 2 years and 3 back surgeries to clean up infection from around my spine, it stopped me. It messed with my head, and I quit being me. I didn't give up, but I wasn't me. I've now decided to stop waiting on it to get better and to get back to being me. Trying to find classes that will take a wheelchair and help me relearn everything. Getting out more. Pushing myself more. I want to figure out how to run everything from the chair. Adjust my carry. It's just time to move forward. Keep up the motivation.
Thank you. I appreciate it. The hardest thing is I do not have feeling from head to toe. So shooting has to be ingrained differently. Grip, trigger press et al. It's definitely different, but doable. Going from a high level to this is definitely humbling.

I remember 20 years ago when my grandfather was in his 80s he used to push a plow in his garden all the time. I didn't think much of it until I decided to use that same plow in my 50s and see what it was like using the old ways. It didn't take long for me to say out loud, Grandaddy was a tough man. I had a new found respect for his strength and endurance. I have a tractor to use now but I still have his plow just to remind me to keep in shape in case I need to use it one day soon. If you are young, work harder than you want to. It will pay off when you are older.
NEVER under any circumstances should one underestimate old man strength! I started doing farner walks a year ago for 1 mile with 35lbs. I'm currently up to 80lbs. Its an absolute killer, and i stop a few times and take a minute rest but it is absolutely doable.
Thank you for your service and for these videos. Just joined the Navy. I leave 02-08. You give me inspiration to do something great with my life. God bless you brother thanks again💪🏻
I enjoy your videos. Serious stuff with a humorous delivery. Thanks for keeping it real and challenging people to form and shape themselves into their best .
Been training and power lifting all my adult life, but never developed that ‘mule’ strength until I started working with asphalt. Never seen one of these ticks, but I’m buying one immediately. Thank you Chadd!
Same. I messed with dumbbells for years and thought I was a real tough ass-kicker until I took a job doing concrete work 12-14 hours a day. I quickly realized I wasn't the badass I thought I was but I got really strong really fast while doing that. My dumbbells felt like paperweights after that.
@@Factchecker9111 Actual structured training is actually very beneficial as it builds up the fitness components which benefits your work out on the field. The fittest people would do both. There are manual workers that lift and it really benefits them physically and mentally
My father in law has never done any sports in his live but was a dockworker for more than 30 years. Starting his career emptying cacao ships by hand in the old days. Now he’s 83 and he still helps when any of the family has to move and heavy stuff like large cabinets has to be lifted. Last year I saw him lifting a washing machine in a truck on his own. He’s living proof that practical strength and hard work beats the gym by far! Love your content here guys! Keep up the good work! Greetings from an ex mil 🇳🇱
Thankyou brother. Yr making a difference and you're appreciated, not just for your service but for continuing to give of yourself for others. A true example of a good man, if I'm ever in the states I owe you at least a beer. Much love, God bless
I'm so thankful I have received the wisdom and secrets of the Chad! I'm also amazed at the skill and strength of the full growed man back there! Full throttle!
We grew up bailing hay in the 60s/70s on our dairy farm and my uncles a few miles away. A family of 5 boys and no girls. Started driving the hay truck at 8 and every year have many thousands of bails in ours and neighbors barns. We were always strong, and my oldest brother at 81 still runs the farm. Enjoyed your video. Brought back a bunch of good memories. Louisiana man
Love these types of videos. You are an inspiration. I just got myself a new mountain bike and it feels great to be putting some miles that way. I’m always looking for new methods of conditioning. Variety keeps it interesting. Thanks for what you do.
I got u Chadd, I grew up farming and have done hard labor intensive jobs my whole life. I actually have a pretty easy job now and have gotten soft. The thing about farming is u are doing a lot of different movements where u have to balance as u do it. U have to go til your tired then adapt and keep going cause you’re not finished. Every day all year exposed to what ever the weather is. U get strong, tough and develop a high threshold for pain. You’ve motivated me to create a full regimen of training to envelop all this. Balance, strength, power, endurance and toughness. I’ll let you know when I’m done ⚔️🇲🇾
If you’re really trying to get strong doing it the old-school way, why not carry around stumps and logs and bags of concrete? Instead of being in a stroller, soft mat flooring, even ground pansy gym like that?😂
@RobSchwarzOfTioga haha I started being a ground man in 1989. Pre hurricane Andrew. We had loaded logs until we saved enough to buy our first grapple. Dragging brush in the south Florida summer will either brake you or turn you into a beast 💪
There was an old, retired vet -- Richard Louis Proenneke -- who had a documentary made of his life. Lived alone in Alaska from his early 50's....built all of his life there by hand. Cabin, utensils, everything...he was well into his 80's when he left, and had been doing this for a long time up there. In the Doc. it shows him cutting down trees for his cabin, sawing them in about 5 foot pieces, and carrying these huge pieces through the woods to the build site on his back with a cord tied to his head to help balance it as he walked. Unbelievable. Real strength and power. Everyone should look up his documentary and watch it. Sheer survival strength, like Chad is demonstrating here.
At age 73, I am aware of friends and people in general that can not do a single pushup, pull-up or lift anything over 100 pounds I work out Monday through Friday rest Saturday Sunday it helps keep me very strong.
I'm a female a little older than you, ' I want to die with my boots on' not laying on a bed, if possible. I walk, lift weights and try to stay busy.If I didn't stay active I don't think I'd still be alive smoking for over 50 years.
Got a 50 pound ball like that at the gym. I'm 70 and tossing that one after my regular work out, will try and get to 100 who knows maybe 150. Thanks for the tip.
Love it! When I started moving and incorporating functional movements like these shown in the video, it’s how I have gotten to my strongest point. This is good stuff.
I've been lifting weights for years plus I work outdoors I'm in my mid fifties and I'm stronger than most people who are in their twenties and thirties
I turn 50 next month and while I have worked out since is was 24, I am currently in the best overall shape of my life. I may have lifted more or run faster 20 years ago, but my current regimen using kettlebells, calisthenics, and sandbags has got me looking and feeling better than my “bodybuilding” days. My plan is to keep doing this into at least my 80s. I was 40 when my youngest child was born. I want to do everything I can to see her 50th birthday.
Thanks Chadd, I’m almost 58 and I’m getting one of those sand bags. I gained strength over the last year with my 60lb black widow recurve bow. So I can do this too. God bless Brother.
Before this I found your CST on 1st Phorm. It was exactly what I had been looking for to start getting into real shape, even though I am very far from being able to complete it yet I did start my first iteration towards that goal... And I cannot thank you enough for what you are putting out there for those of us who need it.
Thanks Chad I am 64 and I am in pretty good shape. I am active and sell boats for a living. I do need to sharpen up my survival skills and get it top notch shape. I will try to add the tick to my workout. I plan to sell boats till I cannot work and workout till I cannot do that which i hope to never see! thanks for your talks!
This gives me encouragement. A little hack I came up with is hold a weighted object in the horse riding stance. I hold a heavy marble mortar & pestle with a stone in it 18 lbs. for 5 minutes. I can't begin to tell you how effective it is.
Yes sir that would definitely do the trick. I'm 60yrs old and I do flatbed trucking lifting all kinds of awkward things and chaining down heavy equipment throwing heavy Straps and winching down cargo and jumping up and down on the deck of the trailer and climbing on top of loads of all kinds and balance is crucial. Plus working and maintaining the Tractor and Trailer the job is never ever done it keeps me younger than some half my age. Keep up the Great work and Thank You For Your Service it really means means alot 🙏
Im gonna have to give this a try. Im 65 and mostly do bodyweight exercises as opposed to weight lifting. Ive been working alot of grip strength . I can close a captains of crush 1.5 which takes 165 lbs to close. Im gonna try to advance to the #2 which takes 195 lbs to close.
This is great! Chili surprised us all! I recently got a 150 bag to do RX carries and everyone at the gym took turns trying to get it up. Definitely takes a lot of grip and back.
Being raised on a farm in the middle of Kansas was a blessing, I work with men like that older gentleman, my great uncle is still working his farm to this day and he is about 80 years old so you know us young bucks are doing all the lifting so I’ve retained that farmers strength but I HAVE to get my cardio up immediately
He'll Yeah. You are the Man. Thanks for All of your information, it's really helping me and So many others. Thank you for putting your life on the line, protecting our Country and way of life.
Those are some great and simple exercises for true strength. Reminds me of days I worked retail and was carrying dog crates and houses up stairs to top shelves and throwing countless bags of dog food for hours out of a workday. It’s a reason I like free weights, it gets those smaller muscles with full movement. I like the idea of jumping over the bar to the bag for the next throw like your first. Thanks for sharing.
I am 51 and have 32 years in my trade as a Boilermaker welder rigger. I have seen plenty of older men who would make that look easy brother. You are on the right track that’s for sure. 👍
I've never seen this before, Chadd. It makes a lot of sense, though. Still working on my pushups. I don't have a 150-pound sandbag, The closest thing I have to that is the two boxes of oak firewood I carry into my house every day. I'm 70 years old, but still looking for things to keep me chugging along. I'll keep an eye out for those hemorrhoids. Thanks for all the tips!
Hi Chadd Stumbled on to your channel last week. Talking about men loving their wives. Did not know who you were. Long haired bearded dude, but i do not judge. Appreciate your messages, directness and humor! God bless you,your family and the team. Nuff said
I am 56 and a Bull! The crazy part is I've been Lifting since I was 13 then Construction! Trust me bags of cement and 2x12 will make you humble real fast! I never looked back! My body hurts now ! But I wouldn't change anything! Trump 2024
Excellent work and I never saw a tick only the ones on my dog. I do however own 2 log splitters but choose to split, and hull, by hand. Love your videos
Good instructions sir. I'm gonna try it with some logs. We're real old school up on the mountain. I carried engine blocks to and from work benches and stands but I never threw any over my shoulder. I have loaded some on a trailer headed to scrap yard that way before. One of the things I do that's sorta exercise is flip 9 ft logs end over end to place them where I'm cutting timber and fire wood up here on the mountain. I don't have anywhere near a gym setup so I recon mountain strong is gonna have to do for now. Stay busy. Stay alert.
I’m 49 and have been in construction for 30 years. I work with log homes and have lifted heavy things every single day. Things I lift aren’t balanced evenly or fixed to a cable. I don’t count to ten and and my set. I’m often holding and lifting things that my safety and the safety of others depend on my ability to hold an object longer than I planned. Do I have body parts that hurt? I absolutely do. Do I make grunting noises when I stand up or sit down? Yes I do. But even with that, I know one thing for sure. If there is danger within arms reach of me, I can grab it and have my way with it. I learned this was possible when I first got into construction. A guy I worked with and went to a bar. There was a gym muscle head in there running his mouth about how strong he was. Challenging people to arm wrestle him, and nobody would take him up on his offer. When he sat next to my friend, he ran his mouth saying how strong he was. My friend is built like me, little over six foot tall and around 210 pounds. The gym guy had to be around 275 and sane height. Tom took him up on his offer. They squared up, started locking their hands into position. Tom was quiet and calm, just focusing on getting a grip. Muscle boy was still chirping, but I could see something in his face that had hit his attention. I honestly didn’t think Tom had a chance. How could he? When they got their grip set, you could see the size difference and the other guys huge arm start to pump up. That’s when I noticed just how strong Toms arm actually looked too. Every fiber of every muscle, every connection of muscle to tendon, and his arm looked like steel. When they were ready, Someone said go…… That muscle head went at Tom with everything, and you could see his intensity. But, they didn’t move from center. Tom was calm, like he was even trying at all. Muscle head was working his ass off, and you could see something inside him die. That’s when Tom said, “They said go, you gunna try and pin me?” Then Tom engaged and immediately took him to the table.
Never been stronger than when I did furniture moving in Boston for 10 years. Your tick workout is a lot of the same movements. On a side note, I used to rent a truck parking spot from an 80+ year old woman who came to this country from Italy in the 1960's. She grew up working on a farm. I was shoveling the truck out from a heavy snowfall and she came out and offered to help. I refused but she grabbed a shovel and started going at it. 35 year old, super fit me could not keep up with her. I had to stop and she just kept going! Never seen anything like it.
Great video. Great instruction. The only thing missing because of the incredible physical condition Chad is in , is just how hard tossing or even moving that bag might be at first. Just don’t doubt yourself and don’t quit and it will be possible. Another great and kind of fun exercise is to flip a heavy (pay loader) tire end over end. Not everyone can get a huge tire. I’ve seen a half full 55gal drum of water used the same way. Those lifts that require creative thinking and guts to accomplish will never disappoint. Thanks for another great video Chad. You’re a light in a very dark world.
I don't have a tick, but before this hinting season i started doing lunges in the backyard carrying my tree stand on my back and pulling my lawn mower. Didn't get far before i got tired but boy after a few times I noticed how much better i was doing. The old way many times beats going to the gym. Cheers man!

I remember 20 years ago when my grandfather was in his 80s he used to push a plow in his garden all the time. I didn't think much of it until I decided to use that same plow in my 50s and see what it was like using the old ways. It didn't take long for me to say out loud, Grandaddy was a tough man. I had a new found respect for his strength and endurance. I have a tractor to use now but I still have his plow just to remind me to keep in shape in case I need to use it one day soon. If you are young, work harder than you want to. It will pay off when you are older.
I bet he was barefoot . That's how my grandpa was.
Why not use that push plow, it least for some of the job?
It was probably used to lay off rows after the garden soil had been plowed and disc. My dad had one too. We used it to make straight rows.
Thanks brother 66 here and rebuilding after hip surgery. This'll help a lot!
NEVER under any circumstances should one underestimate old man strength!
I started doing farner walks a year ago for 1 mile with 35lbs.
I'm currently up to 80lbs. Its an absolute killer, and i stop a few times and take a minute rest but it is absolutely doable.
Thank you for your service and for these videos.
Just joined the Navy. I leave 02-08.
You give me inspiration to do something great with my life. God bless you brother thanks again💪🏻
the only thing better than your post Chadd is the amazing comments by your wonderful viewers!!!! this is a community I'm proud to be a member of.
I enjoy your videos. Serious stuff with a humorous delivery. Thanks for keeping it real and challenging people to form and shape themselves into their best .
Been training and power lifting all my adult life, but never developed that ‘mule’ strength until I started working with asphalt. Never seen one of these ticks, but I’m buying one immediately. Thank you Chadd!
Same. I messed with dumbbells for years and thought I was a real tough ass-kicker until I took a job doing concrete work 12-14 hours a day. I quickly realized I wasn't the badass I thought I was but I got really strong really fast while doing that. My dumbbells felt like paperweights after that.
Nothing compares to hard labor out in the field for strength and endurance. Weights are for people who don't work hard enough. Nuff said
@@Factchecker9111 true !!!!!
@@Factchecker9111 Actual structured training is actually very beneficial as it builds up the fitness components which benefits your work out on the field. The fittest people would do both. There are manual workers that lift and it really benefits them physically and mentally
Thank you for the generosity. Ppl spend good money to get this kind of training!
My father in law has never done any sports in his live but was a dockworker for more than 30 years. Starting his career emptying cacao ships by hand in the old days. Now he’s 83 and he still helps when any of the family has to move and heavy stuff like large cabinets has to be lifted. Last year I saw him lifting a washing machine in a truck on his own. He’s living proof that practical strength and hard work beats the gym by far! Love your content here guys! Keep up the good work! Greetings from an ex mil 🇳🇱
Thanks man!!of its possible do more videos like this!!We need that seal strength going!!God bless you and your relatives!!
Thankyou brother. Yr making a difference and you're appreciated, not just for your service but for continuing to give of yourself for others. A true example of a good man, if I'm ever in the states I owe you at least a beer. Much love, God bless
I'm so thankful I have received the wisdom and secrets of the Chad! I'm also amazed at the skill and strength of the full growed man back there! Full throttle!
Chad you rock bro! God bless!!🙏🏻🤙🏻💪🏻
Thanks for sharing your regimen,it's greatly Appreciated.
Much love brother. Thanks a ton boss for all that you are and have graciously shared with us common folk.
We grew up bailing hay in the 60s/70s on our dairy farm and my uncles a few miles away. A family of 5 boys and no girls. Started driving the hay truck at 8 and every year have many thousands of bails in ours and neighbors barns. We were always strong, and my oldest brother at 81 still runs the farm. Enjoyed your video. Brought back a bunch of good memories. Louisiana man
Love these types of videos. You are an inspiration. I just got myself a new mountain bike and it feels great to be putting some miles that way. I’m always looking for new methods of conditioning. Variety keeps it interesting. Thanks for what you do.
I like the real world strength builders like this.
Thank you, Great movements that are USEFUL
Im so thankful found you on the Internet. God bless you Chad i enjoy a lot of your content. You guys rock
I got u Chadd, I grew up farming and have done hard labor intensive jobs my whole life. I actually have a pretty easy job now and have gotten soft. The thing about farming is u are doing a lot of different movements where u have to balance as u do it. U have to go til your tired then adapt and keep going cause you’re not finished. Every day all year exposed to what ever the weather is. U get strong, tough and develop a high threshold for pain.
You’ve motivated me to create a full regimen of training to envelop all this.
Balance, strength, power, endurance and toughness. I’ll let you know when I’m done
⚔️🇲🇾
Tree work has definitely kept me going strong into my 50s
Yep. Doing limbing,fire wood etc is a body builder!
Same here...the 20 year olds can't keep up
If you’re really trying to get strong doing it the old-school way, why not carry around stumps and logs and bags of concrete? Instead of being in a stroller, soft mat flooring, even ground pansy gym like that?😂
@RobSchwarzOfTioga haha I started being a ground man in 1989. Pre hurricane Andrew. We had loaded logs until we saved enough to buy our first grapple. Dragging brush in the south Florida summer will either brake you or turn you into a beast 💪
@@RobSchwarzOfTioga Do both. The gym will build up your fitness which you can use for the manual work
There was an old, retired vet -- Richard Louis Proenneke -- who had a documentary made of his life. Lived alone in Alaska from his early 50's....built all of his life there by hand. Cabin, utensils, everything...he was well into his 80's when he left, and had been doing this for a long time up there. In the Doc. it shows him cutting down trees for his cabin, sawing them in about 5 foot pieces, and carrying these huge pieces through the woods to the build site on his back with a cord tied to his head to help balance it as he walked. Unbelievable. Real strength and power. Everyone should look up his documentary and watch it. Sheer survival strength, like Chad is demonstrating here.
At age 73, I am aware of friends and people in general that can not do a single pushup, pull-up or lift anything over 100 pounds
I work out Monday through Friday rest Saturday Sunday it helps keep me very strong.
I'm a female a little older than you, ' I want to die with my boots on' not laying on a bed, if possible. I walk, lift weights and try to stay busy.If I didn't stay active I don't think I'd still be alive smoking for over 50 years.
Got a 50 pound ball like that at the gym. I'm 70 and tossing that one after my regular work out, will try and get to 100 who knows maybe 150. Thanks for the tip.
Out- bloody- standing Chadd, just outstanding! Thanks mate.
Love it! When I started moving and incorporating functional movements like these shown in the video, it’s how I have gotten to my strongest point. This is good stuff.
When you said, “this is what you probably gonna look like” and chilly popped up, I choked on my water 😂 keep that joker in the gym!
I've been lifting weights for years plus I work outdoors I'm in my mid fifties and I'm stronger than most people who are in their twenties and thirties
I turn 50 next month and while I have worked out since is was 24, I am currently in the best overall shape of my life. I may have lifted more or run faster 20 years ago, but my current regimen using kettlebells, calisthenics, and sandbags has got me looking and feeling better than my “bodybuilding” days. My plan is to keep doing this into at least my 80s. I was 40 when my youngest child was born. I want to do everything I can to see her 50th birthday.
Just started this sandbag training recently but definitely a game changer 👍💪
Thanks a million, on this tough journey called life. We can always get better, thanks for your knowledge, it will used!
I'm 59 , hip 8 months new, building my physical strength back up to get stronger for my elder years , you give me inspiration chad 👍
Thanks Chadd, I’m almost 58 and I’m getting one of those sand bags. I gained strength over the last year with my 60lb black widow recurve bow. So I can do this too. God bless Brother.
Before this I found your CST on 1st Phorm. It was exactly what I had been looking for to start getting into real shape, even though I am very far from being able to complete it yet I did start my first iteration towards that goal... And I cannot thank you enough for what you are putting out there for those of us who need it.
Thanks Chad I am 64 and I am in pretty good shape. I am active and sell boats for a living. I do need to sharpen up my survival skills and get it top notch shape. I will try to add the tick to my workout. I plan to sell boats till I cannot work and workout till I cannot do that which i hope to never see! thanks for your talks!
Thank you for this video!
Thank you for your service and showing us useful stuff
This gives me encouragement. A little hack I came up with is hold a weighted object in the horse riding stance. I hold a heavy marble mortar & pestle with a stone in it 18 lbs. for 5 minutes. I can't begin to tell you how effective it is.
Yes sir that would definitely do the trick. I'm 60yrs old and I do flatbed trucking lifting all kinds of awkward things and chaining down heavy equipment throwing heavy Straps and winching down cargo and jumping up and down on the deck of the trailer and climbing on top of loads of all kinds and balance is crucial. Plus working and maintaining the Tractor and Trailer the job is never ever done it keeps me younger than some half my age. Keep up the Great work and
Thank You For Your Service it really means means alot 🙏
Im gonna have to give this a try. Im 65 and mostly do bodyweight exercises as opposed to weight lifting. Ive been working alot of grip strength . I can close a captains of crush 1.5 which takes 165 lbs to close. Im gonna try to advance to the #2 which takes 195 lbs to close.
Thank you Chadd Wright, I learn something new everyday.
This is great! Chili surprised us all! I recently got a 150 bag to do RX carries and everyone at the gym took turns trying to get it up. Definitely takes a lot of grip and back.
Thank you Chadd & Chili! As always good stuff & great explanation/demo!
Being raised on a farm in the middle of Kansas was a blessing, I work with men like that older gentleman, my great uncle is still working his farm to this day and he is about 80 years old so you know us young bucks are doing all the lifting so I’ve retained that farmers strength but I HAVE to get my cardio up immediately
He'll Yeah. You are the Man. Thanks for All of your information, it's really helping me and So many others. Thank you for putting your life on the line, protecting our Country and way of life.
Those are some great and simple exercises for true strength. Reminds me of days I worked retail and was carrying dog crates and houses up stairs to top shelves and throwing countless bags of dog food for hours out of a workday. It’s a reason I like free weights, it gets those smaller muscles with full movement. I like the idea of jumping over the bar to the bag for the next throw like your first. Thanks for sharing.
BRO!!! Functional old school training is the ONLY way to get strong!!! thank you for 3 more excercises for me regiment
Thank you , for the inspiration.
Thanks for the info!
Thank you.
This is exactly what I needed to hear and see to get back out there and start working on my body again
Thank you Chad! We love you and Chili!
Thanks, i sure do dred getting started,but its what i need, thank you sir and have a blessed day América
I am 51 and have 32 years in my trade as a Boilermaker welder rigger. I have seen plenty of older men who would make that look easy brother. You are on the right track that’s for sure. 👍
I've never seen this before, Chadd. It makes a lot of sense, though. Still working on my pushups. I don't have a 150-pound sandbag, The closest thing I have to that is the two boxes of oak firewood I carry into my house every day. I'm 70 years old, but still looking for things to keep me chugging along. I'll keep an eye out for those hemorrhoids. Thanks for all the tips!
Hi Chadd Stumbled on to your channel last week. Talking about men loving their wives. Did not know who you were. Long haired bearded dude, but i do not judge. Appreciate your messages, directness and humor! God bless you,your family and the team. Nuff said
Thank you! I am working my way up to being able to complete the Murph challenge that you and chili did a few videos back
Thank you Chad!!😊
I always enjoy your wisdom, Thanks for sharing. Be blessed, be FREE.
When i showed some young 75 year old man this, his face lit up like he was an excited child. Thanks Chili and Chadd, I appreciate it!
Thank you, Chad!
Staying active is really important. Also when it comes to lifting things, technique is really important
Thank you chad you have inspired this 60 year old man to get back out there and get it done..👍
You are a true inspiration sir ! I needed this video
I am 56 and a Bull! The crazy part is I've been Lifting since I was 13 then Construction! Trust me bags of cement and 2x12 will make you humble real fast! I never looked back! My body hurts now ! But I wouldn't change anything! Trump 2024
Chad - you are the man! LMAO... I love your sense of humor. VERY motivating. I'm inspired by your lessons on "the old ways." God Bless!
Thank you!
your doing some great videos chadd... great job
Thank you for you sharing your insight.
Thanks for the instructions.
“I’m a 6 footer, full size man…”
Chadd you crack me up haha. Love the video.
Excellent work and I never saw a tick only the ones on my dog. I do however own 2 log splitters but choose to split, and hull, by hand. Love your videos
Great stuff. So glad you say it how it is.
Thanks for tip, appreciate all you do.
Good instructions sir. I'm gonna try it with some logs. We're real old school up on the mountain.
I carried engine blocks to and from work benches and stands but I never threw any over my shoulder. I have loaded some on a trailer headed to scrap yard that way before.
One of the things I do that's sorta exercise is flip 9 ft logs end over end to place them where I'm cutting timber and fire wood up here on the mountain. I don't have anywhere near a gym setup so I recon mountain strong is gonna have to do for now.
Stay busy. Stay alert.
I’m 49 and have been in construction for 30 years. I work with log homes and have lifted heavy things every single day. Things I lift aren’t balanced evenly or fixed to a cable. I don’t count to ten and and my set. I’m often holding and lifting things that my safety and the safety of others depend on my ability to hold an object longer than I planned.
Do I have body parts that hurt? I absolutely do. Do I make grunting noises when I stand up or sit down? Yes I do.
But even with that, I know one thing for sure. If there is danger within arms reach of me, I can grab it and have my way with it.
I learned this was possible when I first got into construction. A guy I worked with and went to a bar. There was a gym muscle head in there running his mouth about how strong he was. Challenging people to arm wrestle him, and nobody would take him up on his offer. When he sat next to my friend, he ran his mouth saying how strong he was. My friend is built like me, little over six foot tall and around 210 pounds. The gym guy had to be around 275 and sane height.
Tom took him up on his offer. They squared up, started locking their hands into position. Tom was quiet and calm, just focusing on getting a grip. Muscle boy was still chirping, but I could see something in his face that had hit his attention.
I honestly didn’t think Tom had a chance. How could he?
When they got their grip set, you could see the size difference and the other guys huge arm start to pump up. That’s when I noticed just how strong Toms arm actually looked too. Every fiber of every muscle, every connection of muscle to tendon, and his arm looked like steel.
When they were ready, Someone said go……
That muscle head went at Tom with everything, and you could see his intensity. But, they didn’t move from center. Tom was calm, like he was even trying at all.
Muscle head was working his ass off, and you could see something inside him die. That’s when Tom said, “They said go, you gunna try and pin me?”
Then Tom engaged and immediately took him to the table.
Great stuff my brother. Luv the old school style and methods 👊
These three exercises will definitely make one stronger... I will take it in my routine exercises
appreciate it va replacing my hip next month cant wait to get in shape again
Chili is such a good sport! 🙏🙏🙏 Ya’ll crack me up! Thanks!🙏 🙏🙏
Thank you, brother! I love this channel
now looking for some video suggestions how to make a homemade tick!
Never been stronger than when I did furniture moving in Boston for 10 years. Your tick workout is a lot of the same movements. On a side note, I used to rent a truck parking spot from an 80+ year old woman who came to this country from Italy in the 1960's. She grew up working on a farm. I was shoveling the truck out from a heavy snowfall and she came out and offered to help. I refused but she grabbed a shovel and started going at it. 35 year old, super fit me could not keep up with her. I had to stop and she just kept going! Never seen anything like it.
Great video. Great instruction. The only thing missing because of the incredible physical condition Chad is in , is just how hard tossing or even moving that bag might be at first. Just don’t doubt yourself and don’t quit and it will be possible. Another great and kind of fun exercise is to flip a heavy (pay loader) tire end over end. Not everyone can get a huge tire. I’ve seen a half full 55gal drum of water used the same way. Those lifts that require creative thinking and guts to accomplish will never disappoint. Thanks for another great video Chad. You’re a light in a very dark world.
I don't have a tick, but before this hinting season i started doing lunges in the backyard carrying my tree stand on my back and pulling my lawn mower. Didn't get far before i got tired but boy after a few times I noticed how much better i was doing. The old way many times beats going to the gym. Cheers man!
100%! I have a tick at the old school gym I’m at. It is no joke. For real. Heavy. Thank you kindly. 🙏🏻
