I started lifting for real about 3 years ago, when I was 53. I've always lifted a little, to compliment martial arts training, but now weight lifting is 90% of what I do. I was lucky enough to do most things right because my sons researched it all on YouTube/Internet, one of their sources being you. So now I look better than I've done in many years, I have zero injuries, I am certainly a lot stronger than I've ever been and I am still progressing well. I think people like you and Jeff (AthleanX) are a blessing to people with good intentions but little knowledge like me. So thank you for all you are doing.

I dont listen to others in general and I take advice as a grain of salt, I listen to my body. What works for you does not mean that it will work for me. I find it annoying when some douchebag at the gym trying to tell me that Im lifting the weights wrong while interrupting my work out. If Im seeing results then Im doing it right, second that guy does not know what Im trying to accomplish. Mind your business, if you are not someones trainer or you do not know them personally it is best to shut your mouth. Some people are just morons.

Could you recommend something for someone who works grave yard shifts at the casino. while still trying to get 8 hours of sleep per night, sometimes failing. only sundays and mondays off. usually exhausted on Sundays even after sleeping half of Sunday away. looking possibly to exercising 3x a week (maybe upper body day 1, lower body day 2, cardio on a third day) I don't know. while trying to make money on the side by trading and writing a book that never seems to end. to escape the rat race. and currently not successful at it?

Solid list, but 7: 45 is a bit of a stretch I believe. New gym-goers typically won't resort to steroids, they look at the guys promoting supps and think wow if I take that I can look like him/her. That's the problem, they end up spending tons chasing down that magic mixture of chemicals that gives them the promises of huge gains. Isn't until years in when they realize their favorite lifters are on gear, and have an unattainable body for them to emulate natural. That's when they contemplate steroids.

I like this guy. He's sensible and seems genuine in a world of fake and false people within social media. I wish I knew what I know now. I've just turned 43 and at 15 wanted to look like Jena Claude Van Damme. I never pulled it all together and am now fighting age, injury and genetics to try and get the body I want and could've had IF I had been sensible when younger. I won't get it but will die trying. Lol. Seriously I will probably die trying

Only thing that didn't work for me was the rep range. I didn't really take off until I started lifting in the 3 and blow rep range - probably because that helps to recruit more muscle fibers and the body has to work more synergistically in order to be successful. Regardless, that work in 85-95% of my max did wonders. BUT NOT ALL THE TIME - just throwing that out there for safety reasons. Once a month, maybe.

I hate it when people simplify it to eat less lose fat. It's not that simple, eating less can result in muscle loss, decrease in bone density, and loss of water weight. Fat as in adipose tissue loss is more complex than just cutting calories. If I need 2000 calories to maintain my weight and eat 1800 calories of oreos I will lose weight but its probably not going to be fat.
