🏋 well said. Gotta do it, forever...what's the motivator. I've found my way to being a true believer in resistance training. I now love it. I have a robust home gym and I also go weekly to a commercial gym with a trainer. What's odd though is that I just did not know resistance training was important. It's a pretty core piece of living in a human body. How did I live so long without knowing this? Why didn't any doctors ever say? No friends role modeling.
Wow, thank you so much! This is the first time someone has sent a super thanks and it really made my day! I'm so glad you found resistance training, it really does change your life for the better! And yes, more doctors need to understand the importance! Thanks again!!!
@@GymCrafter First time I've sent a super thanks. Haha. Worth it. Thanks for this message and your many other reviews and pieces of advice. You have a practical, real-life-is-not-just-the-gym viewpoint that resonates.
I'm 67 years old, and I've been lifting barbells and dumbbells for 55 years since I was 12. However, by far, the best exercise equipment I own is a Stamina PT 1690 Pull-up/Dip Station, which I can even do belt squats on (you still need a weight, like a dumbbell, weight plates, a dip belt, and (for those who prefer it) a loading pin. I still use barbells and dumbbells because I own so many. I lift barbells, dumbbells, and kettlebells to supplement the exercises I can do on the Stamina PT 1690, which I own two of. One I keep in my home. The other I keep outside. I learned in 55 years of weightlifting that there are many ways to become physically fit. This includes the unique way to exercise advocated by Eugene Sandow, the Father of Modern Bodybuilding and world-renowned strongman, which the Mr. Olympia Bodybuilding Championship Trophy is named after. Sandow advocated using a pair of 3-lb spring-grip dumbbells, which is more like a pair of 3-lb hand grips than they are 3-lb dumbbells. However, Sandow's lightweight dumbbell training is very effective in developing muscular size, strength, and endurance because it exploits the Fundamental Physiological Law of Irradiation, which refers to how a muscle hard at work employs its neighboring muscles. For instance, if you make a fist as hard as you can, not only will your finger flexor muscles contract, so will your forearm, biceps, shoulder, and even your chest muscles if you grip hard enough. Sandow was a master at recruiting more of his muscles to outlift much bigger and heavier rivals, who used less of their muscles than Sandow did. To me, this is what makes Sandow's 3-lb adjustable spring-grip muscles so intriguing. Even though they only weigh 3 lbs, the 7 springs offer far more progressive resistance than I can use. I'm only using 3 springs. IMO, the 7 springs will challenge the grip of a professional arm wrestler. I think it would be a good idea for your golfer client to experiment with applying the Law of Muscular Irradiation on the golf course. For instance, squeezing his glutes and sphincter, like powerlifters do, will increase his strength, if he doesn't already do this. However, Sandow's lightweight dumbbell system is difficult to learn, let alone to master. Yet, being able to recruit the muscles of the entire body in athletic endeavors is a worthy quest. Powerlifters use the Law of Irradiation when they squeeze their glutes when they do very heavy bench presses. Deadlifters do the same when they squeeze their armpits together and root their feet to the ground. The multitude of exercises I do on my Stamina PT 1690 Pull-Up/Dip Station, which allows me to do a total body workout, including upper-body, abdominals, and lower-body exercises, is much easier to learn and do and it also allows me to apply the Physiological Law of Muscular irradiation by activating as many muscles as I can simultaneously when doing pull-ups and dips, which are both compound exercises involving many muscle groups.

"Lift heavy, live easy" Massenomics?
Not sure if they said that, but well said nonetheless!
@@GymCrafter I correct myself. Lift hard, live easy
