The One Thing Jacked Guys Over 50 Do. (Do They Know?)

The one thing jacked guys over 50 do (Really?)

When I saw this Men’s Health video, I knew I had to watch it. What do these stars think is the one thing jacked guys over 50 do? And you know the joke is going to be TRT. As a natural guy over 50, I know this isn’t the secret. But in Hollywood, it plays a definite role.

They made 4 main suggestions, and we’ll look at them to see how they apply to us, the average guy over 50.

What I’d like you to do after the video is let me know in the comments what you think was the one thing they were referring to that jacked guys over 50 do?

Regarding training Frank Grillo recommends not slowing down but to start doing more. He trains 4 hours a day which is impractical for most of us. We wouldn’t get the best out of such a long workout or recover properly. If we don't recover, we won’t build muscle. Frank Grillo and I have similar physiques, and I’ve never trained 4 hours a day.

I do agree with the general statement of doing more. If you’re not training, you need to start. Building muscle is all about progressive overload. This includes more than just adding weight to the bar. It’s increasing the number of repetitions, sets or even frequency of training.

Bautista indicated he likes training every day and sometimes trains twice a day. Again most aren’t going to be able to do this. Still, when you look at different types of workout splits combined with cardio and mobility work, you can see how it would be possible to train every day, but it’s not necessary to get jacked over 50.

Lenny Kravitz is easily the most chill on the list. He trains 5 or 6 days a week but says he spends less time working out now than when he was younger and focuses on training more efficiently. This is something guys over 50 want to do. To get the most out of your training, you need to have a plan and progress your workouts accordingly.

All of his training isn’t intense either, as they show him paddleboarding for exercise. Pretty sure paddleboarding isn’t the one thing jacked guys over 50 do.

In this video, the stars only talk about training one body part. That’s how important it is for guys over 50. Bautista loves squats, as does Christopher Meloni, an actor in the TV shows OZ and Law & Order, who they’ve subbed in for Frank Grillo.

What’s the matter, Frank? Don’t you like training legs?

By the way, Christopher says he trains 4 days a week. Which is how much I’m training right now. The goal for me is to get back up to 5 or 6 days a week sometime in February.

Lenny Kravitz said he used to not like training legs, but now it’s a key part of his program as it should be for all over 50 men.

Legs are one of the areas we lose muscle the fastest as we age. To offset this, we need to train them. There was a study done that found men with the most muscular legs also had the highest testosterone levels no matter what their age. Even more, motivation to train legs.

Next up is cardio. Frank and Bautista like to do fight training. Bautista calls it the hardest thing he has ever done. And I think it would be fun and challenging to do.

Bautista and Lenny both like cycling. Cycling has been shown to have less of a negative effect on building muscle than running, particularly on our legs.

I have an issue with the following recommendation, and that’s to go plant-based. Lenny Kravitz is a vegan and Bautista only eats fish and eggs; otherwise, it’s all plant-based.

Most guys do need to eat more veggies. And reducing the amount of red meat we consume can help us balance our saturated and unsaturated fats better.

But when it comes to the bio-availability of protein for muscle growth, meats rank higher than any vegan sources making it harder to get jacked on a plant-based diet. I know some guys have done it, and it can be done, but it’s not easier. It’s harder.
