Thanks for your concern, but parts of this video were taken over twenty years ago, and yet I have no joint problems. What you’re not seeing on the video is the warming up process. To see a more recent video of my training look for my Feeling Strong Now video on You Tube.
And I guarantee 100% you will have problems with your joints. You’re maybe not feeling anything right now but it’s just temporary, believe me, at your age I would be very careful.
@xKingPola3ux I can’t tell for sure from this short segment, but I think it’s a hot water bottle – with lining far thicker than a balloon. A few strongmen have exploded hot water bottles with their own lung power as a demonstration of strength; it’s dangerous to try it though unless you both have the power and stamina for it, and know the right technique to keep the air from rushing back into your lungs.
This is amazing, Mario. No one would mistake me for a bodybuilder, but I’ve spent a lot of time in gyms over the years and haven’t ever seen anyone in person lift those kind of weights – and even those pushing out heavy reps don’t usually display the quality of form you display here. Impressive, and inspirational.
respect man! GOod for you. But that leg press is scaring me. I know a guy who popped a disc from letting his knees fall back on his chest to hard. But do your thing man!
@omhealer FYI – I’m now 55+ and still training like there is no tomorrow (with no joint problems). The important thing is to prime the pump. Make sure you warm up and train the muscle through a full range of motion. There is nothing wrong with locking your knees on the leg press, just don’t hyper-extend them. That’s where trainees experience the most injuries on this exercise. Of course, everyone is different and should train the way they feel is best for them. Stay healthy, Mario
Cringing watching you do the leg press. your lower back was curling up , and you appeared to be locking out every rep, unloading the muscle and working the joint. I am so glad i learned differently. Every body 45+ i know of that trained are falling apart.
@2admturiggol …I believe in training like there is no tomorrow, eating natural, getting plenty of rest, and staying positive…no matter what. The last time I used nutritional supplements was about 40 years ago. In addition, I have never taken anabolic enhancers of any kind, or recreational drugs to get a high. True natural bodybuilding is “a way of life” that I have practiced for decades and continue to do so today.
