What you are describing is a level of fitness that maybe 1% of the male population have at a young age. It is not realistic to keep that level throughout a full life. And it is probably unconstructive to try.
- sn9 9y agoMost people don't know how and never try, which is why it's so rare. At least as far as the strength goes, maintenance only requires 2 workouts per week of perhaps an hour apiece. The body was meant to be used. And people assume it's less capable than it is, even in old age, but there are people who only started training late in life that have exceeded my strength recommendations.
- BatFastard 9y agoI had that level of fitness for many years, until I did a startup at 40. Now I am trying to get it back at 59 thru a progressive calisthenics program. I can't even do ONE pull up at this point, but I am getting closer!
