I'm 59 and been weight lifting since I was 20 without interruption. Everything this guy is saying is pretty much spot on

[Taduuh]

Hit 43 last October and I am in better shape than ever, even better than my old self in Basic Training in my 20s....never to late to get started.

I don't understand why there's 945 dislikes on this video? He delivered the information backed with scientific studies. Great info!

[Onlybhstrpes]

Brilliant!!


I'm 54, a former track & field, (hurdler) athlete and I am so impressed with your ability to focus, (in a short vid) on testosterone, it's low production over 40, "girlie-diets" with low-carbs, compound exercises, short rest-periods, strength-training frequency, muscle-recovery and steroids.


Well done bro.

Great video. Some things work for some people and not others. I lift 6 days a week for 45 minutes then 45 minutes of cardio. I am 63 and feel great. This works for me. I do 16/8 intermittent fasting. Eat then 3 hours later in the gym then home eat again and fast 16 hours. Stronger and younger looking than 10 years ago. Glad your less cardio works for you.

Brother, I've been making all of the mistakes that you've mentioned for years. I've always been pretty fit, especially for my age (I'm an old dude), but my last couple years have been plagued with injuries and little results. Somehow, I managed to figure this out by myself, and started doing 3X workouts - full-body - per week. The worst decision I ever made was the 100 pushups per day for 30 days. I saw benefits, but - man-alive, did I pay for those benefits. Continuous cramped muscles, unprecedented fatigue, liquid shits... the whole nine yards. Since dropping the "always cardio" routine, and switching to a 3X schedule of full-body workouts, my core is stronger, my muscles are responding incredibly, and my energy levels have returned. I've worn a 44 Regular sport jacket since my boxing days - almost 30 years ago. I bought a 46 Regular jacket last week that fits perfectly. My chest, shoulders and arms are bigger than they have ever been. And, even though I've only lost about 7lbs, my pants fit better because my waist is tighter. Belly fat is almost gone. I spent 2 years eating spinach and salmon. I ran almost 3 miles per day, 6x per week, with very little results, except for constant knee pain. Now, I eat pretty much what I want, only in smaller portions, and avoiding useless calories like soda or french fries. I substitute wheat tortillas for bread about 60% of the time. I drink black coffee - which I always drank before my lovely wife poisoned me with the idea of adding creamers. I steam my veggies, and cook everything on stove-top with virgin olive oil. Plus, I add powdered Turmeric to EVERYTHING I eat - without exception. I use it like people use salt. I'll be 60 soon, and can outwork, outlift, and outlast most kids in their 20's.

I’m 52 and look much younger. It’s mostly about diet (intermittent fasting) and exercise (cardio). My InnerAge on InsideTracker is 38.5

I'm going to be 41 this year, weighed 265 pounds, and am down now to about 245 by watching calories (eating the same stuff just less and adding more fruits and vegetables), riding a stationary bike, and walking my neighborhood. I know I'll hit a tough spot about 230 because I've done this before and that was hard to break through. I'm out of time though. I'm over 40 now, and have NEVER been fit. Never. I was fat as a kid, and stayed overweight my entire life. I want to see what life is like for a fit person just once before I die.

I feel a lot better already, but I wish I had a guy like this I could get in shape with. It's tough doing this without help, and I just hate that I don't have anywhere to put weights so I'm struggling to figure out how to get some weight training into my routine. Gyms are closed now, and even if they weren't, I have 2 kids (one's an infant) and a full time job. The cost of a gym and the fact I'd have to cram going to one into my schedule makes it hard. It's not that I couldn't do it, I just know there are some practical challenges I'd have to overcome that would make it a mind game to stay dedicated. Thanks for letting me vent. Doubt anyone will read this, but what the hell, I'm doing this mostly on my own with no clue what I'm doing and had to tell someone.

I'm 65 years old I have been lifting weights like a young man, Thank you I'm about to change that , no wonder I can't get a good night sleep.

Im 41. I got rid of the belly fat and now I have abs again. Haven't seen them in over 20 years. They been hiding. I'm not completely inactive, my job requires a certain amount of movement each day. The only change I made, was I completely cut out refined sugar. No cake no cookies I drink my coffee black I think you get the idea. I eat a ton of fruit's, veggies, meat, potatoes honey etc I get plenty of sugar. It is the refined stuff that does us in. It was insane how quickly that stubborn belly fat melted away. I have been studying health for a little over 5 year's. I would eat super healthy for a month here a month there cheat day's etc nothing consistent, however never saw any real results. I noticed positive change's (memory, focus motivation and feeling better in general) but no physical sign's. It is amazing how many symptom's we live with and ignore, our bodies speak to us we just need to learn to listen better. One day I came home and saw a beautiful red velvet cake sitting on the counter. I cracked open the lid got out a knife and was about to commit one of the deadly sins, when I had an epiphany(divine intervention perhaps) and was presented with a choice, demo that lovely, beautiful, intoxicating mistress of darkness or cut out the refined sugar. Now at that time I had known about sugar and insulin production, grain's (specifically grass seed's) and the absolutely devastating effect they have on the human body. So it is not like this intervention was out of left field. Why at that moment couldn't say for sure. So I chose correctly. Within 1 week I had noticed my stomach slimming out. Within a month my good old friend ab's had returned. I lost 15 lbs, and that was the only change to my daily routine that I made. With the progress I made in such a short time with little to no effort(except of course cutting out sugar is really no easy feat) I started to implement other changes(that I knew were essential by the way) drinking lot's of clean water, getting lot's of consistent sleep, exercise, diet (or eating habit's may be a more accurate term) reducing the intake of toxin's and eliminating as many existing toxins as possible and the results are, well extraordinary. Let me be clear there is so much information and misinformation out there that you could go crazy trying to take it all in. So I will break it all down. I do not count calories, weigh out my portion's, try and eat every single "healthy food" on the market with every meal, take a bunch of crazy supplement's(some will be necessary simply because modern agro has kinda destroyed the soil in which our food grows or your food is picked way early and allowed to ripen on the voyage, or...or...or...) or exercise insanely every day. Our bodies are machines of necessity, if you need to be strong you will be strong, if you need to be fast you will be fast, if you need to run for hour's on end you will run for hour's on end. So do everything I have mentioned, eat as clean as possible, drink as clean as possible, sleep as much as you need, exercise just as THE FUNK has prescribed and by necessity your body will become what you want it to. There is of course a bit more to this and no rule is 100% but this is a great start. You will need to do some research. It took me over 5 year's to realize it doesn't need to take 5 year's. Want lot's of big muscles lift heavy, want strength and tone workout intensely, want to run forever cardio is your best friend. The hardest part, is getting started, take action now and your transformation will not take years, you will notice changes within weeks, within a month you will be well on your way and in a couple months you will be in the best shape of your life. Your body is an amazingly efficient machine. Reversing a lifetime of damage could take more or less time, each of us are very different and where we are starting from varies greatly. What ever you do get started and don't believe the hype, if it was advertised how easy this can be(with will power hard work and determination of course) gym's would go out of business. Kind of a contradiction but I hope you get my meaning. Ok I will clarify. Eating healthy is difficult as hell requires knowledge, will power and a bit of effort in preparing your food. But you gotta eat and doing it clean and healthy becomes second nature after a time. Exercising on purpose takes will power, but 30 minutes 3 times a week is time you can afford. Changing a life time of bad habit's doesn't happen over night, it takes real effort. So when I say easy I think I mean compared to what we envision getting healthy and lean will require. Start now, every incremental change we make alter's our trajectory. Seeing the future is not so difficult, if you change nothing then in 5 year's you will be exponentially worse off than you are today. Unleash your inner beast and be the best possible you, you can be. P.s I like to watch a few like a boss you tube's in the morning to get me hyped, My alarm is a song that make's me puff out my chest and get's the "T" pumping early, and I put it across the room so I have to get up to shut it off. Snooze is an absolute no no. Good luck and Funk my man I will see you in your next video:)

One of the very few people on the internet who actually knows what he is talking about! Kudos! I've spent years trying to figure this out through trial and error and can confirm that all these points are spot on. No crazy cardio, no restrictive diets, no 7 days a week exhausting training. All you have to do is strength training (30-40 minutes, foundational exercises) once every 4-5 days to give your body enough time for full recovery (micro injuries tend to accumulate very fast if you don't rest your joints and tendons), and a balanced diet. Your metabolism will go up, you will lose fat while gaining muscle and strength. Not a rocket science, and yet we seem to always chase after some voodoo systems that don't work and can even cause serious issues down the road!

Once again, great video, Man! I've been following the same principles for a while now. Never had more energy in my entire life. Never been stronger. My students, friends and co-workers keep asking for a magic pill and think I'm secretly using some black sorcery, lol. Sometimes it's so hard to accept the simple truth...

Cheers!

Since switching to shorter workouts, more HIT and less long runs Im getting MUCH better results and MUCH less injuries. Your never to old to learn !

[mr.schondellthomas]

Turning 42 this year; and I think I did/tried every diet you mention on this video, not knowing they’re all estrogen based. Appreciate it. ✊🏾

[cbarrantes]

THANK YOU MUCH BROTHER I was making almost all those mistakes. Your video just show me what was happening to my body. God bless you!

[JavierDeldado]

This video saved my life!!
I am 44 and even though l was in shape already l couldn't build more muscle anymore because l was doing the same split workouts for years. After watching this guy and watching other similar videos about workouts for men over 40 and doing the proper workouts now l am in the best shape of my life.
Thank you Funk Roberts

[johnwesley]

Great video. I have 100% changed my attitude to exercise since hitting 40. Instead of working out hard, I train smart now. Rather than working out to failure, I do shorter workouts, concentrate more on compound exercises and rarely red line it. Adopting this approach has allowed me to keep training consistently and avoid burnout.

[atlbackinfool]

Enjoyed this video. I'm 50. I started a plan Aug. 1, 2018 and lost 18.8 lbs. 172.4 to 153.6.
Now I'm looking to increase my testosterone and gain muscle mass. I'm going to add your methods to my week.

[sirlew]

Great vid!
I am glad I found this in time. I am rebuilding myself after chemo and was about to make some of these mistakes.

[jefferymaxfield]

Be 62 this year, never followed a strict diet plan, most ppl think i am 45/50 thanks for the info, great information.

[cldztwo]

I was 218 lbs. on Feb 8.  I am 209 today on Feb. 19.  I cut out all sweets, soda, added salt, white bread, beer, and junk food.  I eat fish, chicken, veggies, fruit, and do short work-outs about 2-3 times per week.  I can already see the difference and feel so much more energy.  I am stationary at work, but have a desk that raises and lowers.  I can stretch when I stand and it helps the blood flow.  My goal at 47 is to get down to about 180 and just wake up the muscles, build some strength, and  to live healthier.  My skin has changed its tone and I have had no indigestion since I changed my diet.  I listen to my body and it is working.  This is a very good video.
