I wish there were more info on workout results with these studies and diet. I've been strictly carnivore for 2 years. My workout recovery is off the charts. A Carnivore Diet is an anti-inflammatory diet. So you don't have soreness or joint pain. Therefore is it not advantageous and beneficial to work out more often Considering the natural protein intake of the diet, the body's self-repair through autophagy, and diminished inflammation.
I know in terms of fasting on a carnivore diet vs fasting on a standard American diet. ketone production vs the body operating on glucose. A ketone environment will enter autophagy much, much quicker. This in part is why recovery is experienced more quickly.
I'm a 57-year-old male and prior to the carnivore diet, I experienced soreness and joint pain my whole life.

Good if someone wants to just stay in shape. especially for elderly people. You could probably pair it up with some cardio and you will have decent physique and health. Unfortunately for intermediate lifters this will not work. Not enough weekly volume to drive adaptations. No to mention that besides hypertrophy you also need strength/neural adaptations which you can only get from heavy reps close to your 1 rep max. So yea. if you're beginner or novice - go for it. I actually have been doing 6x per week pushups, pullups, db shoulder presses, RDLs and dumbbell lunges - 1 set each exercise for months before I set foot in the gym. But you probably cant do it in your 60's or 70's

I am 55. I go 6 days no rest. I have scheduled 2 sessions a day not including a 22 mile cycling ride or 8 mile hike with 25 lb pack. your body is 1 unit. A biological machine. there is no back day. Leg day. Or none of that weak stuff that's out there on line and being pushed by influencers. Train every day and have dinner between 2 and 3 pm. snack on popcorn nuts and fruit no food after 6pm. So this for 90 days and you will not recognize yourself. I am a real trainer. And haven't met anyone who I have trained no matter what age or weight that has not succeeded with my program.

I do this myself, 2 workouts a week like monday and thurdsday but instead of 2 sets I do 3 just because sometimes you cant have all benefits from 2 sets or at least if you dont use so high weights. But anyway its like 6 sets a week per muscle and I dont feel tired I have a spare time of 10 or 15m to do some cardio, another nice point is that since is so low volume I dont feel like its an obligation and a thing boring so Im more focused on those series. thats what i been talking all life if we do high intensity we dont need a lot volume.

It’s funny that people think this is inline with Mentzer’s HIT training. It’s a testament to how poorly understood his training philosophy is and the fact that most people can’t be bothered to read his books and get their info from other ignorant people’s posts. Mentzer’s HIT is one set to failure or 6-10 reps. Then resting almost a week before the next workout. He believed in a body part splits and was against full body training. Ideally with Mentzer’s training you are hitting the body parts 1-2 times a month.

U know this is funny to me all these Internet lifters after years of volume training are making videos acting like this is something new. Listen here people All roads lead to Mike mentzers recommend training. eventully ur 2 set method will become 1 when u can generate enough intensity into 1 set. look at slowing ur reps down also. rest pause pre exhaust. this guy has not stumbled upon something new it just took him years to realize he was overtraining and how to properly train once again people go read Mike mentzers books.

My only question is, do these studies use men who have been working out for 20 years already, and then switch to this method, or do they simply grab a bunch of over 40s men off the street, who never lifted a weight, and see how they grow as that would be somewhat deceptive. because when we first start working out, that's when generally you see the most gains and growth in my limited experience in other words for someone like me who trains 4/5 times a week, and is 59. would this switch make any real sense

This video is CRAZY timing. I JUST moved my program from upper / lower body splits, training three times a week - to two full body sessions per week with two sets of each movement (e. g. push, pull, squat & hinge); six movements total each session. I'm starting week two Tuesday and I've programmed three weeks worth before starting over, although I plan to make adjustments based on what's working and not. p. s. Just a few months shy of 59yo. from North Idaho.

Or you could do high volume close to failure twice a week w/ deloads every 8 weeks. This is what I've been doing for the past nearly a year and Im not jacked.
In the gym Volume & effort are key to building muscle. If you're doing 2-3 sets per muscle group you will tone but never get jacked imo. 8-10 sets per muscle per session is better if you can recover from it. Joint recovery is definitely an issue after 50.

Great concept but what about combining with cardio We do need both, right At age 63, I do two sessions per week of strength work using calisthenics and dumb-bells and three sessions of cycling, never doing both on the same day and having two days of full recovery per week. I am now at elite level on the bike and not too bad on upper body and core either.

My husband never lifts, it's always just cardio, cardio, cardio. I'm trying to encourage him to lift. Two times a week session is manageable and he should see good gains as a newbie. He can always add a set as he progresses. I will share this program with him. I'd say the only thing that is missing is information on warm up and warm up sets.

I greatly appreciate the content you provide. As I'm now in my 50's and still average 50 hours a week at work, I have naturally migrated to a similar schedule and volume. I'm looking forward to using this program that I can already see will be more efficient with the exercises and likely far more effective than what I've been doing.

OK this what I do.
5 minute fitness dailies. I set a timer every morning before leaving for work. I do 5 min daily of the following per day-
Pull ups
Dips
Bodyweight rows
Lat raises /shoulder press
Then repeat the cycle.
My first is done to max reps.
Rest 30 seconds and go again until 5 minutes is up. Done

Naw, methods matter less than regular progression. There is no end all be all, and worse, if natty it will mean change will be needed as progress continues. Leave the end all be all bs behind, do what YOU need to do to keep progression rolling, that is where the results manifest, not some specific method in a daily workout.

I’m 65 and recently moved to a minimalist workout routine. I do my resistance training on Monday’s and Thursday. No more than 30 minutes each training day. Typically several push \ pulls and squats. I also love to walk and hike so I do those a few days a week when not in the gym.
This is working well for me.

I'm 62, almost 5 yrs ago I was obese with diabetes II, started resistance training lean bulking all the way with occasionally 48hrs. fasting. AND cut my sessions from 28 sets to 1516 sets lately - with much better results! I'm out of diabetes rn and gaining muscle like a 40s young lad, no TRT ofc.

I'm 55 and two month ago I started doing 15 minute workout sets, every other day chosing a muscle and working it out for just 15 minutes, doing two different exercises. Since then, I have seen better results in one month that I had after 3 months when I was doing much longer workouts.

If you’re in your 20s or 30s and think your energy’s fine, it’s not. Do yourself a favor and read book called TestoGenesis Protocol by Angelico. It’s the kind of stuff no doctor or influencer ever talks about. Pure truth about testosterone and how to keep it strong for life.

It blows my mind how under the radar book called TestoGenesis Protocol by Angelico still is. It’s honestly the most practical thing I’ve read on getting your testosterone and energy back, no fake hacks, no bro science, just straight facts. Unreal how few people know about it.
