Saw this in the 105 min version. Scary for us older folks, especially since "strength training" generally sucks. As evidenced by: What do you want to do for your birthday ? Nobody: Go work my muscles until they cry... But I appreciate the guidance, and use the advice where I can.

I (very) casually lifted when I was a teenager, then again when I went into remission from a years-long severely debilitating chronic illness (about 30 yrs old.) Twenty years on I really saw how totally deconditioned I'd become. All my muscles were gone! Went back and threw myself into serious lifting. The first two months all I could do was grumble, "OMG. I used to like this! This is horrible. Ugh." 😂 But it passed. Finally. Now I'm addicted & lift 6xweek. (Cardio, though? I'm still stuck in the "This suuuuucks -and is super boring" stage. 😢)

On the contrary, this data made me relieved. This data analysis is flawed. A 4th order polynomial regression is not appropriate. It's an overfit that is skewed by a few outliers of people in their 90s. This data does not show a fall-off at age 75. Ignore the curve and just look at the data points. There's very little data in this study for people older than 87.

All I know is if you can lift groceries, garden, drive, ride-a-bike, play cards, climb stairs, you...are...good:) Only vigorous consistent exercise with weight lifting will provide needed strength, endurance, and stability to at least give a 75 year old a fighting chance to have a good health span.

@jenniecaverley4781, And you don't know much! 😁🙋

It's easy to be entertained without moving these days. Before the internet you had to go out to have fun.

There are also hip and knee replacements, along with their associated activity restrictions (such as running, jumping, weight lifting, etc.), which could be a factor in the older age group results.

As well as shoulder & elbow replacements 😢

@@mikevaldez7684 Even more so. The shoulder is a complex joint with an extensive range of motion compared to the hip, knee, or elbow.

Hey Peter i need answers regarding my heart rate. For context im a 26 year old male, Max heart rate - never tested. Highest recorded 217 bpm, recorded 211 today doing intervals. Resting heart rate ~ 50-55, drops to 40-45 bpm if i stay of nicotine. Should i be worried about going over 200bpm when doing exercise ?

Does this 75 years cliff drop happen if you are on TRT, so is ot unavoidable no matter if you are on TRT or what ever anabolics, anyone? My father is soon that age and I can see im shrink and tried to get him on TRT but he hasnt yet althou he has started to become a bit more curious but somehow scared even thou I tell him its only going to make you better (and Ive studied TRT for years.).

It looks to me that age 85 is 'where you fall off a cliff'. I feel like at age 65, I still have a fighting chance of retaining muscle. So far so good, but lifting weights is hard. My joints aren't happy about it and really, it's so super boring that it's hard to get excited about a tiny bit of muscle gain in my arms, but I will keep at it. What other choice do I have?

@Fair-to-middling, My father lived to an active 90 years & never exercised. Though he did watch he weight, he drank beer all his life & smoked a pipe! Don't waste your precious last years lifting weights, it won't extend your life! Peter is a snake oil salesman making millions 🙋🙏

Had a semi hit us from the back at 60-70 mph April of ‘22……concessions that lasted in different areas for about a year yet we both still have residue from it. Never know if it is age or brain injury. The muscles jumped off the cliff, never to return! First situational depression, then back hurts 85% of the time. Do red light, I think it was a big recovery part along with lots of other therapies. Trucker’s insurance are not wanting to pay as much because of our age!!! Peter you are right on about this. 75 years old I see lots of peers losing quickly even if they are trying. We are 76 and 78 and all we want to do is feel like we did before the accident…….yet first we want to rest again!😅😂

Older adults over 75 rarely have one or two things going on. It is more like 12!!!!!!! They have sensory losses in more than one domain that impair function, they have memory and self-care issues that limit their activity level, and they have limitations in accessibility (driving, stair climbing, walking) that can be influenced by finances and social interactions. EVERYONE that treats this population knows well that increasing VO2 max and muscle mass doesn't give them a ride to church, the money to go out to lunch with the ladies, or the ability to see and hear well enough to be active independently.

What about increasing levels after 40

My father lived to an active 90 never lifting or exercising. He drank beer ever day & smoked a pipe. Being "active" does not mean lifting, nor cardiovascular. Remember that. Gardening can do it. 🙋🙏

Even my grandfather who was a falling down drunk who drank ever day from 60 onward lived to an active 90 years, but there were some caveats ..... I'll explain to anyone interested 🙋🙏

This data analysis is flawed. A 4th order polynomial regression is not appropriate. It's an overfit that is skewed by a few outliers of people in their 90s. Eyeballs can be a good friend to data analysis. These researchers seem not to have much of a background in statistics to make such an error.

I'm 75 years old and prepaid for my cremation and updated my will. I guess I just wait.

So we don't lose 1% muscle mass a year, that's a population average.

Excellent. Vegan John McDougal, 77 years old just died. Vegan physician Doug Lise to chef AJ, Doug McDougal was not strong, recently..

I saw that interview too and wondered exactly he meant. 77 is not very old for a doctor who ate so “healthy”.
