When it comes to strength and physical prowess, nothing quite beats Old Man Strength.

You know the type: where a guy (or gal) who looks perfectly unassuming or average has a grip like an industrial vice or can help move a giant, awkward object like a huge antique dinner table or some other huge chunk of furniture seemingly without much strain and without breaking a sweat.

I’ve long been working on my old man strength (it’s high time, too, given that I’m on the wrong side of 30 now), but I’ve still got a long way to go to catchup with some of these folks — most of whom would become absolute physical specimens to behold if they trained more seriously, but I digress.

While most people write this off as an anomaly or a fluke, old man strength actually holds a number of the keys to life-long strength, health, and fitness.

How?

Let me count the ways. Listen in and learn.

For many people, the final frontier of their fitness is training their gait pattern.

Today I want to continue to talk about that frontier, and go even beyond it, into seemingly esoteric directions (though as you’ll soon see, they’re very much grounded in real, actionable steps). I’m gonna talk a bit about what I consider the “fifth element” of fitness and one of the least-used keys in our quest for a lean, youthful-feeling body that performs as well into our later decades as it did in our younger ones (and arguably better).

Tune in to find out WTF I'm talking about...

I'd be willing to bet evergreen dollars to shiny shekels that the Israelites were some pretty strong mofos after 40 years of wandering in the desert. 

Why? 

Because they practiced THIS movement pattern a whole helluva lot during that time. Tune in to find out.

One of the things I’ve found is that when it comes to crossing over into the next step in their training, one of the most common questions people will ask me is “How do I keep all the strength I built doing X, Y, and Z exercises when moving on to new ones?”

Great question. And an easy one to answer.

So easy, in fact, that I dive deep into it in this short episode. Listen and enjoy.

There are 3 major things you need to know about flexibility work for better, more youthful movement. I dive into them on this fine episode, which I am sure you're gonna love (you'd better, anyway).

It’s an ambitious-but-sensible program I designed that uses only bodyweight exercises at various degrees of intensity with a laser-sharp focus on technique to build strength and fitness safely and surely while providing a guide on how to find the right variation/intensity level of each exercise to lead you from where you are to wherever you want to go.

Here I talk about what makes such a program successful. Have a listen and enjoy!

One of the best (and most ignored) ways of building seriously strong stems (i.e. legs) is through higher rep sets.

This might come as a surprise to anyone who has had the idea hammered into their head that low reps are the only way to go, but the truth is quite the contrary. I dish on why (and how) in this fun-filled, jam-packed episode.

Here are those videos for reference, too:

People are creatures of habit; we tend to find something we like and stick with it. As far as working out is concerned, kettlebells and bodyweight are a great example (and for good reason: they’ll deliver strength, fitness, mobility, and resilience gains for years to come and with relatively low occurrence of injuries provided you know what you’re doing).

However, mixing things up CORRECTLY can be one of the best things you ever do for your strength, fitness, and overall badazzery. This episode will give youa foray into one such tried-and-proven method.

If you’ve been lifting kettlebells even for just a short period of time, there’s one thing you’ve no doubt noticed: overhead pressing is just cool.

I still remember over 10 years ago when I first clean & pressed a 24 kg kettlebell over my head. It was a monumental occasion for me - and if you'd like more such monumental occasions, the tips in this episode just might help you build up your own military press faster than you can say "how much ya press, bro?"

Listen, learn, and apply.

Have fun and happy training!
