My mom is in her 70's and was getting disturbed by muscle loss, her ability to function but also how it looked. She is a life long jogger who I'm slowly getting her used to HIT, and in short order she noticed strength gains. Simple things like getting off the ground, picking up her granddaughter, how long she can play with that granddaughter. Normal life things are easier than they were. I've now seen first hand the importance of building and maintaining muscle mass.

If able, get her on bioidentical hormone replacement. Unlike the synthetic estrogen patches, bioidentical can be used indefinitely.

2 years ago a gallstone got stuck in my bile duct which then became severe pancreatitis - 5 days in the ICU , 5 weeks in the hospital - my doctors were amazed by my recovery. I truly believe if I had not been in good condition before I wouldn’t have made it out of the hospital

Murray...you are a great example of the unexpected things that can happen to a person and how the possession of some muscle mass can literally make a life or death difference.

Well that's the HIB and Optima Strength content sorted for next week! Thank you Doug!! I think that it's easy for trainers and owners to lose touch with the importance of what they do. This is most evident when you have clients who are poor responders or perhaps have poor lifestyles outside the studio, and thus, might not present great results and still suffer with various ailments. Moreover, I think a lot of trainers freak out about the prices a HIT business charges, but it's the most important investment one can make!

The most rampant problem in our field is undervaluing our services. Even with poor responders or clients with poor lifestyles, the value that what we provide is immense. The benefits of proper resistance exercise so exceeds the benefit of any pharmaceutical it is not even in the same ballpark. The last article says it all...even if you are chronically ill and in the ICU, the administration of exercise (not even approaching what we do) has a clinically and statistically significant impact on survival.

Thanks as always Dr McGuff. I'm working a part-time job in a commercial kitchen, serving to 200 highschoolers, and doing the dish pit and dining room cleanup. I am keeping up with people from a half to a third my age. I don't need a car. It's all on foot. Still using a bodyweight gym and pack marching at weekends. I want to thank you for lighting my fuse back in 2019.

Thank you Dr. McGuff for this important message. Anyone who has had the misfortune of seeing a loved one hospitalized, knows how quickly they decline. When my father was alive, he had numerous hospitalizations as a result of complications from type 2 diabetes. The speed at which his leg muscles would atrophy was alarming. After a mere 2 to 3 days of being in bed, his thighs had the circumference of a slender young girl's arms. It was scary, and it took a lot of physical therapy to where he would be ambulatory again. Having a high baseline of muscle in such circumstances would have definitely helped.

Dr. McGuff, Please give us the references to those research articles so those of us who like to read the scientific literature will have easy access to the papers. It is often difficult to read titles and sub-titles from a running video and they often blur when stopped. By the way, your book Body By Science has changed my life. I have had tremendous success putting on skeletal muscle at the age of 73! HIT is definitely the way to go as we all get older, with the ability to recover being the key!

The ambient echo of your room makes it somewhat difficult to understand your information. A small cheap lapel microphone could give your listeners full advantage of this life changing information. Please consider this easy adjustment to better serve your subscribers. Thank you for all your work and reporting vital statistics that help us improve our recovery. 🙏

Hey mr. Greg, I recently bought your book, training just once a week and even more, just 15 minutes a day sounds like utopia, but scientifically you based the physiological and biological foundations for this. However, one question remains regarding physical activity in general, after all, is practicing cardio (although you have explained the whole reason that this does not exist) is it beneficial for health or not? Is there a limit if it's bad, or a minimum if it's good?
@maximilianmusterhans4659

I my opinion, daily moderate movement/exercise like going for a walk or riding the bike has health benefits which are not directly related to muscle mass. Your lymphatic system for example is dependent on daily sceletal muscle movement, so relying only on a 15 minute exercise session per week for this aspect is just not enough.

Dr McGuff and other contributors, I have been doing some research and programming around Dynapenia, this may be equally or more important than sarcopenia. I have been doing some low level agility drills focusing on landing mechanics and eccentricity absorbing force. Not for sports performance but, for unexpected events that come our way. As we age we lose these abilities and they are very protective.
@dr.dougmcguff282

Chris-these drills should only be done AFTER the appropriate foundational strength is present. Once the appropriate strength is there, the ability to land and absorb postural change is almost a given.

@@dr.dougmcguff282 Wouldn’t you look at footwork and landing mechanics as a task specific drill. I understand having the eccentric strength from properly perform strength program. Doing something like pickle ball to help with movement like lateral shuffling, short back pedal, jumping and landing. These seem like nervous system specific skills that should be part of graceful aging?

@@chrisarp4111 I agree. Skills/strength acquired for dynamic loading or load damping like when jumping onto or from a step are in my opinion partly different from quasi-static loading developed on a leg-press machine. Things are complementary. In my opinion one needs strength and "athletic" skills to stay functional and age gracefully....
