When it comes to building muscle after 40...The 3 tips I'll share in today's video...Are CRUCIAL to your success. Check out these tips to ensure you keep building muscle after 40!
Enjoy your channel but why don't any of you address the issue of what to do if you specifically have Type 2 diabetes or insulin resistance? And MANY over 40's have metabolic issues of one kind or another. I have to do low carb to keep this in check and this goes way beyond low GI carbs - I need to work at almost keto levels ie 50g carbs per day. I do employ carb cycling but it's a really delicate balance. I am currently 17% body fat and would like to get this to 13% without muscle loss. So I work in a calorie deficit but keep protein around 1g per lb body weight. And my results are good training 3x a week with fairly high intensity and walking on all the other days.
This is too complex for me. I'm 45 and I've always had a problem gaining weight. Can't put on the pounds.I would need a book or list of exactly what to eat to put on the weight. All the training in the world won't help without the weight to go with it.
I have allergies on many foods and It is hard for me to find a diet that doesn't include particular foods. Then my friend sent me link to the website called Agoge Diet where I can get personalized meal plan only with food I select. My fitness journey has just started, what about you?
I am 66 and I exercise at home for one hour a day 7 days a week. One of the things I do is 100 pushups every day. What I find is so helpful is that it builds your heart strength. Your heart is what determines most of what you can or can not do. It's is NOT just muscle. Build your heart strength and this applies at any age. You could be 15 and not be able to make it once around your school track. That is your heart at 15 !!
@@rontate7719 We are the exact same height and weight. I started with 5, but I did 5 sets of 5 and I did it every day and the five sets had to be completed within the entire day. So not too difficult. Then I eventually got to 5 sets of 20 within the whole day. Now I am at 4 sets of 25 in ten minutes. The trick I think is not to make it to difficult, BUT to do it every day 7 days a week. They say not to do that because your muscles need a rest. Well, I had no problem because I didn't beat myself up like you would with a trainer in a gym 3 days a week and pushup are very cardio intensive so it is wonderful for your heart and so I was comfortable doing it every day. This way I get in 700 push ups a week. Try that with a trainer in a gym three days a week!!! My goal is two sets of 50 in under 5 minutes total. I can presently do 42 pushups without stopping in one set. Remember, I started with only 5 and I have done more then 8,000 pushups to get to this point. Do a little bit, day in and day out and you will be amazed in a few months. One side note... the most pushups I could do 40 YEARS AGO was 35 at a time and now at 66 I can do 42 without stopping. Pretty cool! Good luck !!
@@joeflaherty4682 That is inspirational! I am 51 and could not do 1 push-up about 6 months ago. I can now do about 14 in a row with proper form and all the way down and back up. I do as many as I can do every morning after I get out of bed. My goal is to do 100 per day now thanks to you.
I’m 42 and do full body work out 4 or 5 times a week for about 3 hours a day. I gotta better body now than I had in my 20’s. Make sure to push yourself, your body is made to work
Very useful this. I am 55 yrs old and happy to say I am almost on point with all 3 tips - except sleep. I still keep a full time job that’s where sleep is mostly less.
I'm 61 and work out one body part a day ,6 days a week. I just actually started working out consistently in the last 6 months. Theres been times I neglected biceps and shoulders. Pretty sad when you workout your tris religiously and neglect your biceps . But I'm back on track now.
I've been following the Agoge diet for a couple of months and have built so much muscle. Just wanted to share for those feeling stuck with their muscle building.
Great info can you please go over more info for guys in there 60s I've been working out since i was 16 but now being 60 the game Had changed for my body to stay fit love your information.. Thank you
Cottage cheese for breakfast, tuna for lunch, and a sensible dinner. Dont forget to drink 64oz of water a day...3 to 4 days a week. Then keep your other 3 days around 2000k calories, but those 3 days you can have say 1 candy bar or a cheat meal. Not a cheat day!
I am about 43 I follow exercise instructions which you shared and feeling good. One thing I want to know if you recommend any protein supplements at this stage. I am looking forward for your help.
Awesome Video thanks for sharing I hit that bell. Don’t underestimate the power of compound exercises. Make sure you include them in your workout routine. They’re your best tools for maximum muscle growth. 💪💪XX
Hi Gary, at age 60 I completed the INSANITY program and never looked better! At 70, I am doing TRX and resistance bands, I do not have the ambition or energy to do HIIT exercising. I eat very well (healthy) and sleep 7-8 hours each night. Ok, doing everything right, but I cannot lose the belly fat enough to display the abs?? I can see my obliges with definition but no abs ?? Help! Need a video on just targeting the small area of belly fat? Thanks. Eric
The human body can run on two kinds of fuel. Carbohydrates or short to mid-chain fatty acids. Last summer I wanted to loose more weight so I put a table soon of coconut oil, cold pressed not processed, in my black coffee every morning ,sometimes 2 and when I worked out I would take a spoon full about 15 min. before I would start. You do not digest it like regular food. In 10 min. as soon as the oil hits your liver it is sent to you body and brain. It will also kill your appetite and that's a big help. It will also help your memory. I'm going on 72 in a few months. I had to rethink everything because of my age. You might want to consider Creatine as a supplement, this stuff works but be careful at your age your strength will go up fast from using this stuff so don't push ahead too fast. There is other things I can tell you but I don't know what you already know. Lifting after 70 is a whole new ball game. Nobody knows this until they get there.
I'm 61 and have a thin layer of fat not a belly of it like you see on a lot of men of all ages. Have I tried to eliminate all of my sugar intake..no. I enjoy a little bit of the sweet stuff but I do stay away from bread and pasta and potatoes. I live in Florida and work out outside and soon the heat will be here and I'll see if it will help. I added more lower back exercises with my newly purchased Roman chair and started to work on my abs . Other than the little fat around my waste ..little fat .. I'm very muscular built at 5'10 210lbs and I can live with that little bit of fat .
This is very good information, especially about nutrition. I eat high fat, low carb on days I don't train and only eat carbs on the days I lift. Also a good tip when you are olden: do not mix carbs with fats. Go either carb-protein, or fat-protein. Mixing carbs with fats will make you fat when you metabolism slows down. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for sharing!! I am over 50. It also applies? I started with a routine 3 months ago and started to see the difference. Is it ok to workout 3 times a week?
Hard to do plant based, the problem isn't in what's on the label, it's the absorption rates of plant protein vs animal. You should consider adding eggs at least. But from what I understand pea protein is supposed to be the best plant based protein if you have to go that route.
Tofu, tempeh, seitan, textured vegetable protein (TVP), nutritional yeast, lentils, and maybe a plant based protein powder, all in addition to all the other carbohydrate-rich plants that have protein like beans and whole grains and all the fat-rich sources of protein like nuts and seeds. As a 15 year vegan I can say that it’s quite easy to get enough protein.
I was having a pizza with my friend when he said he was on a diet and pizza is his regular cheat meal and part of diet plan he got from Agoge Diet. I thought he was crazy, but after a month I noticed his body has changed a lot. He looked better than ever. I should really visit that website
I was skeptic about Agoge Diet because I thought that I would have to eat only broccoli to lose weight. I am eating only food I like and still losing weight.
Pretty much goes without saying anymore. Unfortunately social media has created a climate where someone who is natural and fit will get no traction or even ridiculed as a DYEL.
Your broad take on building muscle applies to everyone, not just “older guys.” Nothing in your video sheds any light on relevant information that is applicable mostly or exclusively to men over 40. Also, you cite no references for your claims which makes your video that much more pedestrian.

Could you give an example what a week of your workout schedule is like?

A Saturday or Sunday afternoon nap can help.

Really appreciate all the information you give in your videos. As a older man it is harder losing weight compared to being in my twenties.
Thank you for the advice. Consistant is my weakness rigth now but I will nail that shortly.

3 times per week is probably ideal. Work hard and then give your body time to heal.
Uh oh! This is tough. My wife loves to make homemade cakes. She likes making them and I like eating them. Lol
I know right my girlfriend wakes ⏰ me up with cookies 🍪 cakes 🎂 and fried foods 😋
If you really don't want to eat them, don't. Excuses get you nowhere.
I keep hearing I need to prioritize sleep. Yet my whole life I can’t get more than 6 hours of sleep. I average 5 to 6 hours a night.
I'm on a plant based diet. What do you recommend to get the amount of protein per meal you are suggesting?
EAT MEAT
Hard to do plant based, the problem isn't in what's on the label, it's the absorption rates of plant protein vs animal. You should consider adding eggs at least. But from what I understand pea protein is supposed to be the best plant based protein if you have to go that route.
Tofu, tempeh, seitan, textured vegetable protein (TVP), nutritional yeast, lentils, and maybe a plant based protein powder, all in addition to all the other carbohydrate-rich plants that have protein like beans and whole grains and all the fat-rich sources of protein like nuts and seeds.
As a 15 year vegan I can say that it’s quite easy to get enough protein.
By luck been doing this im gaining. Over fourty and in better shape then i wad in military
Forget “whole grains” and go with intact (I.e. unprocessed) grains.
What's a "mill"? And why am I eating it?
Where can I get comprehensive help with nutrition, the first point? Online?
Im screwed. For now. Trying to get a hold of my nocturia so I dont have to wake up 2-3 times a night to pee.
I was having a pizza with my friend when he said he was on a diet and pizza is his regular cheat meal and part of diet plan he got from Agoge Diet. I thought he was crazy, but after a month I noticed his body has changed a lot. He looked better than ever. I should really visit that website
The Agoge diet works so great for those who want to build muscle. My muscles are enjoying it so much and are growing rapidly.
quit calling me older guy lol
and quit saying ED, im watching this at work lmao
10/10.
I'm getting my fats from eggs..
At 54 my problem is sleeping..
I hear you. Insomnia is an epidemic. I try to unplug from too much negative media and have good sleep preparation.
Marijuana
wait, thought potatoes, rice and such are simple cards, not complex carbs
You need to go see a doctor and get on the testerone is the Fountain of Youth for us men build all the muscle you want
40 is not old.
Can I just buy some roids? Asking for a friend. :)
I was skeptic about Agoge Diet because I thought that I would have to eat only broccoli to lose weight. I am eating only food I like and still losing weight.
TRT Gary
dude looks good but if you believe he is natural, I have a good deal on waterfront property in Arizona....
Pretty much goes without saying anymore. Unfortunately social media has created a climate where someone who is natural and fit will get no traction or even ridiculed as a DYEL.
Peterson….stop hating, he looks natural and has put in his years to look this good!
@@aros007z sorry!!! your butt buddy???
It’s a shame you didn’t mention vegan protein sources. I.e Lentils and tofu still rack up well on Cronometer 👍
In order to lose fat and build muscle you need to train well and eat well. I highly recommend the personalized Agoge diet plan, works amazing..
Bad carbs OXOLATES IN VEGGIES!!!🤮
Nooooo those CARBS ARE BAD VEGGIES HAVE ALOT OF OXOLATES AND OTHE BAD STUFF!!!
