Great results. What is your exercise frequency (as an average over the past few years)? Mix of Cardio and other activities? Weights? Minutes/hours per week or day?

For the past 20 years have been an avid mountain biker and hiker. Moved to Colorado 6400’ elevation 4 years ago so that is a factor. Also ski. Have a pullup bar in the house. Don’t go to the gym at all.

To keep in shape in winter bought a Carol bike last Oct and then Kaatsu bands in Dec of last year.
The Kaatsu bands have definitely made a difference in strength as I was stuck at 10 pullups and 25 pushups for years and couldn’t get better. Do Carol bike and Kaatsu with light weights every other day.

IMO mountain biking has been the most important factor. Strength, endurance, VO2 max, balance, reaction time and even a zen mind are all improved.

As a support for this was an experience I had in 2018. Had been mountain biking every day and was in Vallejo CA when I crashed and broke my hip. The surgeon told me half the people my age (66) who broke their hip were dead in 6 months and even if he did surgery I would like limp and have arthritis and like take me a year to recover maybe 2 years before I could ski.
Well, 8 weeks after surgery, I hoped on my bike and road as If I had not had broken my hip. Skied a couple of months later. Six year now and I don’t limp, have any pain and am as active as I was at 35.

Biological age is clearly not where someone ranks in an age chart for strength exercises.

Apparently 93 can be the new 40.

From your post:

Pretty inspiring, not going to lie.

CVD prevention, rapamycin, ATTR prevention, these all might help to achieve this (and exercise of course and stuff like that).

Yeah… no!

That’s not the physique- body of a 40 year old guy… looks like 90 to me. Just say’in. I want to hit 100 looking better physically.

You have a superficial streak in you. I’ll put you on a rowing machine - put you through a workout where you won’t look 1/2 as good.

This is him not gassed.

True… true… middle of workout not great. Have to say… but at end of my workout is when I take my gym pics… got my pump on… blood flowing … color good. Bit of sweat on the temples and in the hair. See my avatar.

He’s not bad… but still not a 40 year old physique… maybe a good mid’ 70’s look. Just trying to knock down the hyperbole of the media. Lol.

What’s wrong with looking 20 years younger-ish. I like to think I can realistically pass for early 50’s at almost 67. But not 50 years younger… physique of a late 20’s year old dude… nah!

Oh and yes… I wont argue… I have a very superficial streak… and aging doesn’t help it at all. Hahaha.

He looks late 60s to me. So, 30 years younger.

That’s crazy, if I saw you on the rink I’d honestly think you’re in your 30s…

How sweet! Believe it or not, but that’s what rapamycin does.

Great video! You don’t look or act like you’re 70. I think this is proof that Rapamycin works.

How long have you been using it now?

Almost for 15 years. Seems too long, but it does work for me.
