Excellent!!!! Why people think first line of self care is a doctor is mind boggling. Folks ... you have far more control over your health and longevity than you think.

Great message Coach Phil! At 70 years old I've fully embraced the "athlete of aging" concept Doc Sullivan defined in the Barbell Prescription. I also lift and keep moving to not be frail. It's absolutely about quality of life as we age. Thanks also for your Christian witness. Praise God we are "fearfully and wonderfully made". Now, if I can just get my timing right in the press 2.0, maybe I can get a 150Lb single someday 😀. Thanks for all you do coach. Your videos are great. Blessings to you and your family.

65 year old here….My 26 year old daughter was saying how she worried she wasn’t going to have children before I died. We were returning home from lifting at the gym and I reminded her I just inclined pressed two 80lb dumbbells with her! Then I guaranteed her that I was going to be here for a long time more and I believe it!!

I’ll be 65 next month and I’m a survivor of colorectal cancer and melanoma. I got back into strength training almost 3 years ago, for the same reasons as “Sally”. Thanks for this video! I’m so glad that I found this channel earlier this year and subscribed!👍❤️ Tom (Phoenix, AZ) Edit: Please read my more recent updated comment for this video. Thank you!

“Sally” speaks for myself and many others 60 and older. 8 years ago, I had 2/3 of my colon & 1/3 of my rectum removed (Cancer). I had an ostomy bag while I did chemo for 6 months. I got down to 160 lbs at 6’1”. My surgeon reattached the remaining healthy colon & rectum and removed the ostomy. I still function pretty well with no ostomy bag needed 🙏 and taking Imodium daily. I had to ease back into exercising, and returned to weight training almost 3 years ago. I had 3 melanomas removed (left tricep, neck, back) last year. Today- I’m a strong, healthy 200 lbs and Cancer free, Thanks to God and the medical staff that helped me! The important message here and in this video is- Do what You can to get healthy and stay healthy. Get a Colonoscopy by age 50 (younger if there’s a family history). Get any unusual moles or new skin growths checked right away. I hope that everyone who watches this channel will stay strong, tough, and independent for a long, long time!👍

This is exactly what led to me start weight training at age 46. I work in the field of vascular surgery, and see every day how sick and frail the general population is becoming, even at a relatively young age. I'm now 54 and compete in powerlifting. Sally nailed it!

Thanks buddy, you sum’d it up great! I just got back into it after a 8 yr break from working out, bought a bunch of kettlebells and workout mat, working out at home in the morning, fasted. At 60 progress is a tad slower than earlier days, but I just couldn’t face the idea of sick and weak. 👍👍👍🏃
