Grip strength is one of the strongest predictors of longevity. In a study of nearly 140,000 adults, every 11 lbs of grip strength lost was linked to a 16% higher risk of death, and grip beat blood pressure as a predictor. 🛒 GRIP STRENGTH GEAR I USE: ► Hand dynamometer: https://www.liveleantv.com/dynamometer ► Grip trainer (hand grippers): https://www.liveleantv.com/gripper ► Fat Gripz: https://www.liveleantv.com/fatgripz ► Free 7 Day Trial To My Workout App: https://www.liveleantv.com ► Live Lean Body Quiz: https://www.liveleantv.com/quiz ► Free 7 Day Meal Plan And Recipes: https://www.liveleantv.com/free-stuff In this video, I test my own grip strength on camera at age 46, show you the grip strength norms by age and gender, and walk you through the best grip strength exercises plus a simple 10-minute weekly grip workout you can add to any training routine.

I'm 46, and if aesthetics disappeared tomorrow, I'd still be in the gym. Here's why muscle isn't about how you look — it's your longevity insurance. Most people think building muscle is about looking good. But after 30, you start losing muscle every year (it's called sarcopenia), and that loss drives low energy, weakness, poor balance, a higher risk of falls and broken bones, and bones that get weaker right alongside it. The good news: it's one of the few parts of aging you can actually control. ► Free 7 Day Trial To My Workout App: https://www.liveleantv.com ► Live Lean Body Quiz: https://www.liveleantv.com/quiz ► Free 7 Day Meal Plan And Recipes: https://www.liveleantv.com/free-stuff In this video, I break down: ► Why muscle loss (sarcopenia) accelerates as you age — and how to slow it ► The real risk factors for low bone density (genetics, smoking, low muscle mass, being under-nourished, and more) ► Why falls and fractures become so much more dangerous later in life ► How muscle protects your heart, brain, and metabolism — not just your strength ► Why starting later makes it exponentially harder to rebuild ► The training approach I use at 46 to stay strong, lean, and capable for decades If you're a guy in your 30s or 40s who wants to stay strong, energetic, and capable for the long run — not just look good in a mirror — this one's for you.

My VO2 max dropped 25% in five years. It fell from 46.5 down to 34.7 by age 42. Then I got it back up to 41.4 at 45. In this video, I break down exactly what VO2 max is, the science-backed VO2 max training protocols proven to increase it (on a treadmill, a bike, and with kettlebells), how to track your VO2 max on an Apple Watch or Garmin, and the VO2 max chart by age and gender so you know exactly where you stand. VO2 max is your body's engine size. It's the most oxygen your body can use when you're working hard, and research shows it's one of the strongest predictors of how long, and how well, you'll live. The best part? You can improve it at any age. ► Free 7 Day Trial To My Workout App: https://www.liveleantv.com ► Live Lean Body Quiz: https://www.liveleantv.com/quiz ► Free 7 Day Meal Plan And Recipes: https://www.liveleantv.com/free-stuff ⏱ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 My VO2 max dropped 25% 00:59 VO2 Max Explained 02:14 VO2 Max Training 03:19 VO2 Max Workout vs. HIIT Workouts 04:32 Norwegian 4x4 Interval Training Workout 05:54 VO2 Max Cycling / Stationary Bike Workout 06:50 VO2 Max Kettlebell Workout Exercises 08:34 VO2 Max On Apple Watch And Garmin 10:18 VO2 Max Test: Treadmill vs. Cycling 11:11 VO2 Max Chart By Age And Gender 11:58 VO2 Max Ranges To Aim For 12:52 Your Game Plan To Increase VO2 Max 📚 STUDIES REFERENCED Norwegian 4x4 protocol: Helgerud J, et al.

I'm 46 years old — and I feel better than I did at 40. Not younger-looking… better. More energy, faster recovery, better mobility, and way more peace of mind. ► Nuropod Discount: https://www.liveleantv.com/nuropod (discount auto-applied at checkout) ► Test Your Bloodmarkers With Superpower: https://www.liveleantv.com/superpower At 42, my body started slowing down for the first time in my life. Stiff neck from sleeping. Achy lower back from bending over. I wasn't as bouncy or as fast as I used to be. So I stopped training purely for aesthetics and completely changed my approach — from chasing abs to building healthspan: staying strong, mobile, and capable for decades while lowering my risk of chronic disease. In this video I break down the exact 5 pillars I use to feel better at 46 than I did at 40: ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Intro 00:35 Why Healthspan Matters More Than Aesthetics After 40 01:53 Pillar 1: Emotional Health: My Biggest Health Shift Wasn't Physical It Was Spiritual 03:33 The Vagus Nerve Reset To Destress My Body 04:51 Pillar 2: My Exact Weekly Workout Split at 46 07:07 Pillar 3: Nutrition: Test, Don't Guess 08:33 Pillar 4: Sleep Is The Foundation 09:23 Pillar 5: Supplementation: Test, Don't Guess This isn't about biohacking your way to living forever. It's about building a body that can carry you through every stage of life — the kind of dad and grandparent who gets down on the floor with the kids and gets back up. That's healthspan. That's the whole game. Which of the 5 pillars are you working on first?
