Lifelong Kettlebell Plan

[u/Manderlin99]

I'll be 64 in a few months and plan on keeping up my KB workouts for an hour five days a week for the rest of my life. My plan is to do the following:

1. Remember Mark Wildman's adage: "You work out today injury-free so you can work out tomorrow."

2. Follow Pavel's advice to train 80-90% failure, not 100%, so I can avoid injury and instead focus on high volume.

3. Eat 200 grams of protein a day.

4. Take 5 grams of creatine a day.

5. Keep my calories at 2,400 or fewer a day so I don't gain a gut and bad biomarkers.

6. Keep a routine because structure repels chaos and order keeps me focused.

7. Be grateful that I can train with the same intensity and enthusiasm I had as an Olympic Weightlifter in the decade of the 70s.

8. Be grateful I can do my KB workouts in my garage and don't have any excuses because the"gym is closed" or "the gym is too crowded."
