Doesn't muscles have neurons
uhhhhh....why didn't you actually tell people how to work out for muscle growth? Liar.
Cheers
Question - so, if I “turn on a DNA switch” by creating a hypertrophic environment, does that mean I can pass “better DNA” if I father a child? To rephrase, are you saying, or, can we deduce, that we can pass acquired traits to offspring, and not just purely genetic traits? If that is true, wouldn’t that mean people should lift or do anything possible to turn on these switches prior to procreation?
I apologize for commenting about this but i really need to know i just saw you're video how exercise affects the heart made a year ago and I was wondering what would happen if I exercised with a leaking heart valve its mild I don't have to take medications or anything but I wanted to get you're opinion on the matter.
As a construction worker that has to move a lot, carry heavy things and use power tools I can say that my job is essier after I started working out. The fatigue from weight training does carry over to work but the same is true for the gains, if anything now work feels more like the strech and aerobic part of working out.
I thought about why don't construction workers look jacked. Then one day at work...I realized that I was not necessarily using my muscles..but using my joints to create mechanical advantage. This is why my joints would ache. I also used my joints to stabilize my body like say when having to put my body at a strange angle to tighten something. I started to really pay attention to this and the position on my body and trying to use more muscle instead of muscle pushing joints and it made a difference on fatigue and how my joints felt at the end of the day. Didn't do much for hypertrophy, but did help with adaptation.
@@justmyself1000 Yeah a lot of times we need to pick up things and you need to remember to lift with your legs or if you absolutely need to use your back try to do the death lift motion. A back injury will get you messed up for life.
@justmyself1000 also, allot of builders probably eat crap food!
@@justmyself1000They don't look jacked as you say, but they are hella strong, and huge endurance
@@justmyself1000 most don't look jacked is because of diet. Majority of them eat crap food.
10:50 was spot on…usually at an early age the driver behind strength training is aesthetics but when we get older the motive is primarily for health reasons; aesthetics are just incidental.
When I was a young man, I used strength training to support and enhance my fun activities which were athletic endeavors. Now, I'm an 66 years old. I still do strength training and I still do fun athletic activities at least 3 times per week. A side effect is having a physique that people admire without looking like a 'jacked' body builder. Most people my age are fat, decrepit, and depend on more than one prescription drug. I think that I made the right choice. Yes. I'm just one anecdotal datum point, but I hope that my example will help somebody coming up behind me.

I’ve been weight training since I was 12 years old. I’m 62 now. I recently had open heart surgery to replace a bicuspid aortic valve that had a 5mm hole in it. I just went back to weight training again and “Muscle Memory” is a real phenomenon. My muscles responded right away. Although I’ll never have the 19” arms that I once had at age 18 (non-steroid), I do feel so much stronger and fit. Two tests that individuals can perform at older ages to gauge their fitness are: 1). How long can you hang from a chin-up bar. 2). Can you get up from a prone position on the floor without any assistance from any object - just using your own body to get upright. If you can’t do either, you would definitely benefit from resistance training.
How long is considered excellent time for hanging? I'm you're age too. Did you start off in the garage with the sand weights too? 😃
@@quantumpotential7639 I hang for about 2 minutes for 3 reps. I started off with vinyl weights that had cement in them. K-Mart Weights. Probably $30/100lb set. I used two chairs as my rack and I made a homemade bench out of scrap wood.
how did you get a hole? is it because of training?
@@differentone_p Endocarditis
Indeed! I used to be the same - sporting 18" (naturally gained) arms, super strong, etcetera. I am naturally athletic, but I was genetically skinny, started weight lifting at 150lbs!🤣I desired bigger muscles. My older brother showed me some tricks for mass and strength building, and I was 210lbs in a short time, like 1.5 years or so. Incredible! BUT, guess what! I'm 44 now, and my body isn't what it used to be. I drank heavily for some years and alcohol took its toll. I don't look horrible, but my circulation has been impacted and my joints are weaker. Alcohol is bad stuff, antithetical to weight training. It actually stops the protein synthesis! Lesson learned. 😎
I love when you cover athletics and bodybuilding, fitness related Anatomy topics. Thank you!
Speaking of better quality of life, I am near 40 and started serious natural bodybuilding 2 years ago. I am stronger and bigger than I have ever been in my whole life. Life is much, much easier when you have a lot of strength. I now NEVER get injured by anything in daily life, whereas I used to constantly injure my back and knees. Playing with my toddler is so easy and fun. It wouldn’t be possible if I were out of shape. I encourage everyone to get going on resistance training, it’s a game changer.
So I recently started really working on weight loss and building strength in my muscles. I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and it causes faulty collagen production. Which in turn causes joint subluxation and dislocation, which then can and does cause tissue damage, muscle damage, scar tissue and chronic pain. Since I started doing resistance training in August of 2022, my pain has decreased a lot and I feel better as I've been trying to work on areas of my body that normally wouldn't need the same training, such as my feet, my hands, ankles and so forth. As someone who already needs a knee replacement at 38, this information will stay with me and help me prevent further injury to my body. Thank you! 😊
I started lifting weights with my husband because of y'alls last video about fast twitch muscles. More fun than I expected.
Neat
Thanks for this explanation. There is no shortage of body builders making videos on how to build muscle and diets to do the same. I am 70 years old and have been going to the gym for years and your explanation of having the amount of muscle cells makes very good sense. There are some Dudes in the gym that are muscled up that work out no harder than anyone else. In high school we had a guy on our football team 6' 2" 232 pounds that looked like a pro body builder and didn't work out, go figure.
Bone structure can also create the illusion of being more muscular. I seem to have both an imposing skeletal structure for my height, and fairly responsive muscles, so even when I am overweight with a moderate amount of fat and don't exercise I look almost athletic.
@@garethbaus5471no you dont
That could be a genetic mutation or tumor in hypophys.
We appreciate the amount of time and effort you've invested into all your videos. Keep up the good work.
sus account
very true
Speak for yourself, mammal.
"Because we have taste, and Jonathan does not." Bahahaa! That cracked me up! I love the Engineering Plan series on canvas. They're beautiful. I will purchase all four, then display them in my workout area. I feel they'll remind me that when I'm exercising, I'm helping to keep myself healthy and not just helping myself look better.
Thanks Justin, great video. I’ve got 35 yrs on you so appreciate your aches and pains. My Mum always said that old age is not for softies. I still use the gym so will be chasing hypertrophy 🏋️♀️ “slowly and carefully” 😅
This changed my whole perspective of why I workout. Now I'm more motivated than ever lol
Thank you, thank you, thank you BOTH for providing such QUALITY videos.
I appreciate your interest and passion on all these awesome subjects.
You help me know where to focus my health and lifestyle efforts, and sift through the nutrition hype on the internet.
And you make it FUN, too!
Thanks!
I’m 47…48 in November. I started lifting weights at the end of 2020. It’s definitely longevity and getting stronger that I do it. I have way less aches and pains…can hike without sore knees, and can generally move with ease. I will continue lifting into my elder years for the exact reasons you said. Fab video explaining muscle hypertrophy ❤️
(my) Cure for Plantar Fasciitis: In the prone position, regularly stretch your big toe in extension. This worked for me after traditional podiatry (custom orthotic inserts) failed. I was in desperate pain and I accidentally stumbled into this cure, which took maybe a week as best as I can recall. The fasciitis hit in my mid 30s when I lost weight quickly but it has never ever returned (now in late 60s). I hope it works for you, friend!
What do you mean looking good and being strong is the "side effect"? That was my main reason to start lifting.
While that may have been your primary intention, from a health standpoint, looking good and being strong are tertiary benefits to actual longevity.
Yep. Because if you happen to get into the steroids craze, you'll get strong, and look massive (whether that's looking *good* is debatable) but you are likely to die young as has happened to a bunch of pro bodybuilders. Without longevity, there's no real gain in being strong and looking ""good.""
@@MariaMartinez-researcher True 🤗
BY FAR my favorite CZcams channel!
This channel is Systematic Reviews & Meta-Analysis of RCTs. It's like one of my books came alive and grew a personality! While everyone else is Non-peer-reviewed media / anecdote / tradition. Like Bro-science from your local gym narcissist.
... AND it is always entertaining! How do they do it.!.?
Thank y'all for being so awesome :-)
Thanks for these past few videos, I have been sharing these with my parents who are just "accepting" that their bodies are just going to malfunction
Most bodybuilding channels I look at and roll my eyes, but with you I feel like I can trust you a lot more considering you know about the human body inside and out quite a bit more than most.
Okay but like getting stronger *is* a quality of life improvement. Taking all the groceries in at once is a convenience I will always be willing to hit the gym to maintain 😌
Great commentary there. BTW as to the heel spurs (easier to spell) the surgery does work. That was 2 of the 16 surgeries I have had to date. Took away the pain and recovery is faster and more sure than trying to rest for weeks to allow the inflammation to abate.
Amazing video as always, I agree with the main reason to get stronger and do resistance training to be health oriented, since health decides everything else we do on our life ♥
Thanks for answering a bunch of questions i was spending a lot of time online trying to find. Ill get 2nd opinions (more peer reviewed studies interpretations) as anyone should but this is a very helpful track to start on. U got my thumbs up.
I know that getting sponsored is important and I try not to skip your ads (even though I'm not at all interested in the product, even from the start) because I am aware that it brings you money and thus sustains this channel ( which I find quite informative) but I've got to tell you, if you can, just place them anywhere else than inside a stream of information. It makes you lose your focus and information absorption requires focus. I personally find that counterintuitive. I hope I don't come off harsh, just mean to share my view.
Thank you for your work
Couldn't agree more. I am paying for youtube premium for that reason, and unfortunately, your ag1 will make me stop watching the video. Let's be real you guys are getting paid by views, and you got plenty of them
My friend was just in court to explain to the judge about their arguing and fighting at home while watching Netflix. She would not stop talking and yelling at him as he was ignoring her, and unfortunately, he reached back and slapped her across the mouth to shut her up. He explained to the judge that muscle memory was to blame for his action! His urge and desire to want to smack her every time she opens her mouth or yells at him for no reason was a muscle-memory reaction, but it didn't hold up with the judge.😭😭 But will recommend this CZcams video on the truth facts about muscle memory. This is proof. Thank CZcams for its algorithms. They're very helpful. I'm a lawyer now!🤣🤣🤣
Trying to age well 55, so understanding the human body helps me push harder and to not think ageing is a free pass to slothful living. As more health issues arise I try figuring out ways to try other things. Eg no longer run but hike hills, knee push-up to bench next on toes. Feed my body a Mediterranean style diet to function well everyday.
You guys are amazing 👏 Thank you for sharing the information 👍More power to you and more positive energy and love to you guys ❤️
This video was A step above. I already had a pretty good understanding about muscles but I knew nothing about what you talked about today with a double nuclei and only having a set number of muscle cells. 🤔👍🏻
Rebuilding muscle after serious atrophy is definitely no walk in the park but good to understand that the base is still there. I'm still in physical therapy after extensive lateral ankle repairs in October of last year.
Very different scenario for me but I lost a lot of muscle mass in my left leg, hip that slowly got worse limiting its range of motion. Probably waited too long with it, but it's much easier to tell someone to go to the doctor than go yourself. After an xray I got a referral to the rheumatologist and orthopedic surgeon, it was clear I needed a total hip replacement (and have some extra things to worry about long term from the ankylosing spondylitis).
But basically there were a few muscles on my upper left leg that with slight pressure on it I could feel the bones beneath, it was also very skinny compared to the right leg. Only a few months later I could notice it gain a bit more volume and I couldn't feel the bones easily with slight pressure anymore. Now a bit over a year after the surgery left and right appear very similar and in strength too. Only raising the left knee while standing on that resistance training device still has a serious difference (19.5kg vs 42 kg). I also noticed that the initial recovery of basic strength was very rapid but after 3 months starting normal exercises progress got a lot slower.
Still it was surprising to me how quickly it all recovered, not being in pain/discomfort while moving certainly helped me to stay motivated. Also interesting how a steady normal walking pace just after I started being able to do that again would quickly make me sweat and raise the heart rate up to 150 or so, but my anemia was worse at the time too. Now it doesn't get anywhere near that high with just normal walking on flat terrain and I can easily walk 8 km again without any meaningful rest (and probably longer, but I get bored and tend to head home).
good to know the science behind what we do in the gym
I had so many "Oh...that's why!!!" moments ... really gave me some good answers about many doubts i have...THANKS!!!!!
GREAT informational vid man!! THNX 4 the much NEEDED info!!
I exercise resistance training regularly thanks for motivating and encouraging more and help continuation one more added benefit of resistance training is the vast amounts of adrenaline and endorphins released which makes one feel good and confident.
Thanks! This video answered a lot of questions, including one I had regarding muscle atrophy after watching Jonathan's video. Bottom line: do resistance training. 💪
I have always hated science but somehow I really enjoy this CZcams channel.
This feels like it explains a lot about how I'm so wildly different from my 5 siblings.
I've always been the heavy lifter in my farming family from being small, even over my 3 older siblings.
Ever since, no matter how sedentary and fat I get, when I get my health kick I can get back from push-ups and pull-ups being impossible to a total breeze within 2 weeks.
My biceps honestly never get smaller than a grapefruit, even if I've been solely on office work and video games for a year.
Yup, back when I turned 35, other than sprinting, I was probably in the best 'shape' of my life. It's all down hill from there, though the slope wasn't precipitous until I entered my sixties. You have my sympathy, though I'm sure you know where to find that word in the dictionary. "Aging is not for wimps." Eventually, this show, and its successors will be of interest to everyone. I have young children and it is essential that I age as well as I can. I see you guys as a trustworthy source. Thank you for your help.
what a clear discussion. helped a lot! thanks and more power!
Thank You Justin for this video! It pairs very well with Jonathan’s video last week. I’m 56 and started strength training a month ago and I am still learning that I need to increase the weight so that I can exhaust the muscles by the end of 3 sets of #X! (I had been increasing reps when I should have been increasing weights. I’ll keep at it for a few months to see if I discover personal benefits that give me a stronger motivation/desire to keep at it. So far I am just tired, so getting better sleep!😂🏋🏽😴
just fyi, you don't have to train in sets of 3 at x repitions. it's just an easy and practical way of doing it and there isnothing wrong with it, but there are many, many other ways of doing it. x sets at x reps, one set every 2 hours every day, most concepts can work for certain goals. increasing reps is also good. optimally you'll train both endurance and strength. low rep counts (rule of thumb, you're absolutely done after 2-6 reps) train strength more effectively, while higher rep counts (up to 30 can be effectively utilized in "classical" rep based resistance training) prioritize endurance. however, both methods don't isolate strength or endurance completely. you'll get some of both either way. if you just want an allround concept that needs little thinking the good old 3 sets 8-12 reps you're probably doing are a good midrange. don't go all out every time, you can leave 1/2 reps in the tank, neither go too hard to ensure good recovery nor too soft for sufficient stimulus. focus on great form and control if your ego allows it. it can be really humbling going from 12 shitty pull ups to 4 exceptionally clean and fast ones but it helps you not injure yourself as easily and it definetly looks better
@@ggfdd5925 fully agreed
love how easy these videos are to understand
Do one video on healing of tendon and ligament injuries
Beware of increasing insulin resistance as the cause of some your ailments. As you mentioned plantar fasciitis. Reduce the inflammatory responses by adjusting your diet to fit your body. Just like the science of muscular health and resistance training you can make changes through diet that will reduce inflammation through metabolic health.. Thank you for your video.
If you are having problems with health, Like damaged organs, bone injuries... like shoulder problems, spinal injuries. There's a way to fix them.
Here is what you need to do...
Do not eat. Just drink water for 21 days. And you're body will activate the growth hormone and repair anything in your body that needs to be repaired.
I found this out because I injured my spine badly and need surgery. Also injured my shoulder and was in pain for more than 20 years. I fasted for 21 days and both got healed. Also many of the health issues I was having was completely healed.
Perhaps one reason for those that struggle with the hypothesis of lost nuclei is that it seems to introduce the concept that apoptosis would be organelle specific, as opposed to killing the whole cell. This is not the understanding of what apoptosis is that anyone would be familiar with.
The last few sentences before signing off were quite powerful. If you don't want to watch the whole video, watch that part. Resistance training it is.
Excellent Information. Thanks for posting. I try and be an example to older people to exercise for their benefits. Take a nutrition class and a human biology class at the local community college.
So fascinating!
I had to undergo a emergency surgery. After that I could not eat for 3 weeks + 1 week only getting liquid food directly to my gut. Also could not get out of bed until my scarss were heald. So after all that I could not stand on my own. Nurses had to help me walk, bath & go to toilett. The doctor told me I lost 75% of my muscles thru surgery & the aftermath. I was very tiny & lost msucle & fat. Only weight lik 45kg (5'3 woman). i was soooo weak I could do nothing. After eating better & doing some workouts I got better and two years ago I started weight lifting. Now 60kg & with a lot more muscles feeling fucking strong. God thanks I started weight lifting! I feel better than normal I feel so strong & healthy.
I'm the guy on the left in the photo. I will turn 50 soon. I stopped this weak space immediately when you said you were 35. I looked like a Greek God at 35, and I never used a single PED. PS, Shattered Spine, Implants, bone grafts, fusions, over 170 days in the hospital, a total hip replacement, a completely reconstructed right hand, disease that feeds on my bone marrow, a pain pump the size of the Large Stanley Tape Measure implanted in my back, I've been put to sleep 43 times in 6 years. I had AT ONCE!!! aka simultaneously 4 PICC Lines, and 7 IV lines, peed in in catheter, #2 in a pan, washed with a hose pipe in an ego crushing basket lift.... I now walk, run, and lift weights. I have 28 Titanium Bolts in my Spine Alone. .... Imma back out REAL QUICK before I get angry over your weak pity party, and search for more videos that allow me to see what my body actually looks like on the inside. This video does NOT belong on this channel. You made me feel creepy and I literally shivered from the cringe. Literally!!! Physically cringed.
Thank you so much for your information big brother
Yet another great video! Thanks!
I have mono and haven’t been to the gym in like 3-4 weeks and I still have to wait like 2 more weeks 😭. This helps boost my hopes of rebuilding my strength.
You should snap back well after a month or so
Unbelivable high quality content. Thank you
Thank you, I should share this video with Hafthor Julius Bjornsson, the Strongest Man to have ever lived. He is regaining his Strength rapidly these days after a 30 month hiatus from Strength training and after a 132 lb weight loss. He is the current world record holder of the Deadlift and he is training for the Heaviest Raw Powerlifting total of all time.
Love this video! The older you get, the more you need a Rolfer/manual therapist/bodyworker etc. Its like taking your fascia to a tune-shop! 💪
I love your videos. Really helpful and interesting info!
Makes sense. Well said. Good info!
for me it is all about looking better, the rest are just bonuses.
Vain
Loved this video, I learned a whole lot!
I really want to see a video on phantom limb pain , it's such a fascinating topic to me
Way better video about this than the average bodybuilder with veins that are about to explode, muscles way bigger than anyone figured possible, and him getting exhausted just by telling his secret to it all that is "I eat my own bodyweight of beef for breakfast and then go straight to doing 2000 push ups every day."
Amazing content! Much appreciated!
Mister, you can tell me as many details as you want for context or not. I'm listening.
Been following these topics by Stronger by Science and Iron Culture Podcast and this visualised educational lesson really makes my synapses fire in giving much better understanding on what all of it really means.
A great video on biology. A must watch I would say.
Very interesting information. Thank you.
Plantar faciitis gets painful if left alone.
Had it and put off finding out what to do for so long I'd wake up with my feet feeling like I just did a week of open to close shifts as waiter again and only get worse whenever I walked.
Podiatrist recommended better shoe choice suggesting good running or hillwalking shoes and insoles with sorbothane for faster relief, was also told to do with stretching exercises and directed to the nhs youtube video for plantar faciitis exercises.
The stretching helped long term but the insoles made a massive difference from day one and there is a ton of brands good for it online or even just amazon.
Thanks for the knowledge✌🏼.
I am a new addicted subscriber to your channel. I would love to see explanations of what exactly happens when a person is choking and how it is caused and how the Heimlich Maneuver can save a choking person or if there are alternative options for saving someone.
Also if you have any information on IBS I would love to know it. Thanks for giving us such great knowledge.
Hey, I liked your videos about muscles very much and would like to see some about ligaments, and how can we grow them (if we can)
Love this topic! Epigenetics are an awesome topic that we are only getting to know about.
Thanks!
When I was young, I lifted HARD to satisfy my vanity. Today - upper 40's - I continue to lift because my body is my "fun vehicle."
This would be the only example I can think of where my youthful vanity helped my middle-aged athletic aspirations. 😀
There is a lot of science in the video about how muscle cells function. But I was hoping that there would be more information about the keys or techniques to building muscle as the title suggests. Did I miss something.
When the video ended, I thought: What? It's over? You did not deliver on the title. I still do not know "The Key to Building & Keeping Muscle".
I can confirm that building muscle from scratch is harder than regaining what iv lost during 5 week rest xD.
I work in a warehouse where i lifting stuff and walking quite a bit. But before this job i sat most of the day. The first few months were a struggle. Lifting more than 20kg was nearly impossible. But after those first 2 months i could do it and i can now lift about 30kg is i really need to and that is over half my body weight. But i do like my time off too. In december i take the whole month off XD. I see my body lose its muscle mass. But once i go back to work it comes back within 4 weeks. 2s as fast as when i started from scratch.
I'm curious about which tests you would recommend for people in their 30s. You clearly have a lot of experience with monitoring your own health through testing, so I would appreciate it if you could share your recommendations.
Also, I would love it if you could do anatomy lessons on the neck. I'm trying to learn new exercises to improve my humpback and fix and strengthen my front neck muscles.
Oof. I have plantar fasciatis and it's baaaaad. I actually have it under control now because I stick only to two types of shoes and pay close attention to how soft the cushioning is. And also because I spent a lot of time walking barefoot on grass, it helped. I still have to be careful with it.
Hang in there 💪🏾
See my comment above, hope it works for you!
You may want to retrain how you walk. Instead of landing on your heels (heel strike) with each step, land on the balls of your feet. Be sure to activate your calves and glutes when doing so.
cool, just another pebble of sense in the landscape of knowledge, definitely makes sense: the key stimulus for growing muscle is the stretch under load. Even 4h of passive stretching per day stimulates growth of gastrocnemius. I can image that this increases the distance between the nuclei. And the longer the total duration of that the more intense the nuclei can sense that they got lonely.
Question: how does come that tendons grow? ok they are growing slower, but why do they grow at all, if used and stretched?
.
so, finally about you, yes you: I got kind of shocked when you said you are 35. Your skin looks much older... You should care about vit c and zinc, the amount of which are effectively arriving in your tissues... 1g vit C and 50 mg of Zn, together with a lot of green tea, a lot of hot baths, and mct oil treatments will help
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏾
Definitely train your body to make your specific life easier
Great video guys!! Once again👏🏽
I'd love to come out and have hands on education, especially since I don't have any formal medical training. I work at a funeral home, but I'd love to learn more about human anatomy/death so I can have a better understanding of everything that happens after life
I hoping all these videos counts as extra credits & now im getting all these words hypr-confused, still yet love the In anatomical awesome videos
Great closing message!
Awesome. I did not know that!
That was a really great Video!!!! Very motivating and inspirational and way more educational then I thought in the first place^^ keep it up guys!
But that on and off mechanism in genes for protein synthesis would happen even when you first start lifting because the resistance training gives proper environment for it....what does it have to do with muscle memory? I mean it doesn't really explain how muscle retain the 'memory' and you build muscle faster the second time you start lifting after taking a long break
You should make a video on what DOMS is and why it is days after workouts
I felt stronger just by watching this 💪🏽 😆
Was a great distraction thank you, very educational stuff 👌
Love this channel. It has significantly expanded my understanding of anatomy and the physiological machinations of the body.
A common misconception is that strength training is a grind or something you endure, but really it's a balancing act, and if done properly, you should feel good, well, balanced and stronger. Sadly, most people lose their stability and become weaker because they didn't know what they were doing when they were chasing power through the grind.
I agree with you. It’s not a grind. When recovering from a set of nine reps, (one rep from failure) it’s a time to think/plan/meditate. I’m pushing 76. I’ve been doing this for over 60 years. I still practice law and manage my own assets. Resistance training dramatically slows down the aging process - both physically and mentally.
Amazing presentation!
A video on hair regrowth please.
This is one of those channels i consider CZcams GOLDMINE ! Thanks for all the efforts you put in
I've wondered this for a long time.
I've always been sporivly actief up to 24 years . Is been sedintary for the last 4 I've gained like 2 kg it's surprisingly stable. My diet has been the same , apart from the first 2 months I'm pretty sure I can restart it. Not that I necessarily want to my job doesn't require it but I wonder how much is Retained . My muscles mass has declined but how much trench work would make it eayer to restart.
I sure hope you start using the information you guys share to us about working out and start working out if you say you have all of those issues at 35 years old.
Getting such incredible knowledge for free on CZcams, I feel stupid for paying to go to college. 🤦♂️
Very helpful
