Why Most "Over 40" Workouts FAIL (And What Actually Works)

From the creator

If you wanted to understand longevity and how to be forever fit, to not just live longer, but live longer with a higher quality of life; this is the video for you. In this video, I explain how strength important strength is for longevity as you get older. What I cover in this video I call the unbreakable laws of longevity. As I quickly approach 50 years old, I have turned my focus to longevity and living longer with a higher quality of life. As I get older, I find this concept to be more and more important with every year. The first longevity law is that you must become as "absolutely" strong as possible. This is where the argument of absolute strength vs relative strength comes in. Being relatively strong, pound-for-pound, is important. However, how does it compare to absolute strength? Relative strength being based on your bodyweight and absolute strength being based on how much weight you can lift overall. Absolute strength standards would include a 100 lb chin-up, 200 lb overhead press, 300 lb bench press, 400 lb squat, and 500 lb deadlift. Relative strength standards include a 1.25-1.75x bodyweight bench press, 2-2.5x bodyweight squat, and 2.55-3x bodyweight deadlift. But whether it is relative or absolute strength, they are still urging progression with heavy loads. Now, I want to ask you a question; are pushups a good measure of strength? With 75% of your bodyweight being lifted for a pushup, a 160 lb person is only lifting 120 lbs. Translate that to a bench press
