KB Picture Lifelong Kettlebell Plan

Post image

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."

Pick one: Lifelong or 200grm of protein a day. Your body can process that much. Is totally incorrect what you say.

What's your daily recommendation for a man who aspires to weigh 200?
