Did I miss the part about coffee as the thumbnail indicated or was it just a clickbait image? Seriously, I love your channel but clickbait just ain't where it's at.
1st reason you're not building muscle: -you're not going to the gym. LIIIIIIIFFFFTTT !!!
Since coffee depicted in thumbnail is not mentioned at all, I will never again be clickbaited by this channel
Hey Thomas, thanks for warning people against alcohol use. I know you’ve been doing it for a while now, but I know people crucify others who speak the truth, but the truth is worth it and you’re a good man for sticking to the truth
At 63 I retired, now 69. I did no exercises for 5 and half years, then had an aha moment. Now I train 3 days a week for 2 hours hard, my strength has jumped up, lost 11kg (24,2lbs). Thank you for great advice.
I was never a big drinker but I completely stopped drinking around September/early October. Omg let me tell you how happier I am. That stuff is poison. My sleep is better, my performance is better, my libido is better, my skin is better, I’m more regular with bathroom stuff, my head is clearer. For reference I would occasionally have 2-3 drinks on Saturday when I was off. I had a schedule change where I had to work Saturday so I stopped being able to hang out. At first I was annoyed but it was inadvertently the best thing to happen to me. Stop drinking and respect your body.
Here’s my newest FREE Meal Plan (High Protein Mediterranean with some Intermittent Fasting)- https://thomasdelauer.com/MediterraneanFasting/ Please enjoy it as a thank-you for subscribing to my channel and my newsletter!
I retired at 68 from building custom decks in the PNW. I took a couple years off mostly from everything. Then i realized that was not good. As i researched resistance and cardio, i realized i was working out basically 8 or 9 hours a day with a mix of all kinds of "gym" routines. I'm enjoying getting back into it.
Hi thomas, I just watched your interview on the Mind pump podcast. I thought you were fantastic! Thanks for being open and vulnerable during that conversation, I really enjoyed getting to know more about you.
u got a point about the full body workouts. thanks dude
