I’m sorry but when I heard you talk about how your stuff comes from the Swiss Alps. I had to just laugh. I’m not discounting what you said but it was funny.

Killer hairstyle, Siim!
Stop listening to my conversations Siim.
However, the big however, is that most men prefer to be jacked, even to the risk of living till 85 or 90, instead of being slim and insignificant and living till 100
Maaan. I hope men don’t actually feel that way too often. Imagine just dying sooner because of raw unbridled insecurity.
It is not insecurity. When jacked, you are more respected from fellow men. More attractive to women. You have a better self image. You have more strength, more energy. The world takes a different color. Try it. Who would not trade these feelings for a few frail years sitting on a wheel chair watching the world go by at 93?
@Governemntistheproblem I mean (not trolling)… but that’s kind of the literal textbook definition of insecure above no(^)? Thinking that those around you care about how you look, and see you differently, based on your muscle level?
Keep in mind, obviously health and healthspan are indeed important. I think my main challenge, would be to say that the power of friendship and true active listening far surpasses any muscle you can build, when making an impression. I focus on being well read, listening, and being around for real like stuff, like helping friends move and plan birthday parties. In my experience all this stuff matters more.
Absolutely, they care. If I see a jacked man, I tend to respect him more, I look up to him, and I want to spend time with him. This guy woke up early while others were playing video games to work on his body. This guy is a perfectionist, a hard working man. I would respect him.
Insofar as educating the mind, yeah, I used to relish in that in my 30s and 40s. I read all the history and philosophy and religion and economics books that I could, did personal studies on a shitload of subjects, I have more than a 1000 books, and am kind of jaded to that regard now. Blame the Blinkist/internet era?
Insofar as helping friends move, I would pay friends a moving company to help him if he needs it. But would not use my valuable time. For me friends are to have fun together. Of course if a friend needs me I will be there for him. But men in my experience seldom “need” their friends.
When u reach your 50s, you still have very little time of youth and want to really benefit from the body that u still have, while you still have time, the body that is a bit worn at the seams but otherwise perfectly functionning. “Looking 38” becomes a compliment. And if that makes me insecure, so be it.
And being pumped and waking up with my muscles jacked and alive and my heart rate at 50bpm is the very definition of feeling good.
(That and playing a musical instrument and traveling and having an well cooked dinner with friends).
It’s not so much a gradual loss of muscle as some kind of accident that makes a person bed bound for some time, where they rapidly lose muscle and never gain it back
There is a more practical and effective way to think abou this. The longevity effect is about functional strength, functional movement, functional flexibility, and functional balance. That is to say it’s remaining physically functional for as long as possible so as to maintain general health and prevent dysfunction, immobility, and injuries. Building muscles is merely one aspect, however important. More important, one wants to build strength at every length and in every position.
Hi Siim! Always very nice to see your videos. Thank you. Are you still looking for people who want to lower biological age? I live in a very polluted city and I know there’s a lot we can do to still achieve longevity.
Falls falls falls
So good to see you back with regular content Simland. Hope all is well for you and loved ones old young friend.
I am definitely planning to get back to doing some cardio regularly, but building strength is also my hobby. So I guess being advanced or elite level doesn’t increase my mortality risk either. Right?
Great Show, thanks
Whey protein is especially good not because of the proportion of amino acids but especially because of the bioactive peptides. But these are fragile to agitation, so the blender is going to damage them.
can you elaborate
@@Spyfromtf2whohatespyro If you don’t blend it works much better because blending breaks down the bioactive peptides in the whey
Benefits from cardiovascular fitness also have a cutoff point, measured by vo2 max it’s around 49-50 ml/kg/min. There’s no doubt fitness is good for longevity. But most people severely overestimate how much. There’s only so much that can be gained. A study that looked at the data from over 15k Olympic athletes concluded that they only live 2.5 years longer than the general population. Those participating in endurance sport 4.5 years longer. Which isn’t much really. Especially when you remember that general population includes people who are obese, on crack, smoke, pay zero attention to nutrition or exercise, etc.
The most important fitness benefit is not so much extending lifespan, but extending healthspan. Being functional in old age. Smart workout program should probably focus on function. Not chasing numbers and getting trapped in ego games. Being able to manipulate 40lb with your hands, and walk around with that a mile or two will probably be much more useful than squatting 400lb or running a marathon.
epic knowledge translation from the studies to practical advice… thanks for making this effort Siim!
if siim grows out his hair he will look super saiyan 💪
Excellent breakdown video Siim!
The question is whether being ultra fit (comparative to aged population in the 80s, 90s, 100s) increases longevity in those age brackets. Some centenarians had high levels of fitness throughout their life, but perhaps most did not. If exceptional fitness was the key to longevity, one would expect that we would see more centenarians with a history of being ultra fit. The next question is whether being ultra fit in those age groups is helpful, harmful or neutral to longevity. It does seem to be helpful with respect to lower age groups.
In other words, if a centenarian would have replaced his walking and gardening with HIIT, traditional cardio, resistance training, and plyometrics starting in his 40s, would he have lived longer, shorter, or the same as he did with long duration light intensity exercise.
How much do u weigh?
Whats your height and bmi ?
Dear Siim, thank you for this information. I would appreciate though, if you’d just explain the full detail of those
studies, simply when you say “xpercent less risk of mortality” also explain compared over x amount of years. Otherwise this information is hard to learn anything from other than reading those studies myself if I had the time, which I normally don’t. Hope you see what i’m saying. Thank you and keep doing a great job making a difference!
