Life is zone one , zone two and zone five . And so by training , zone two and zone five , obviously much more in zone two than zone five , we're really teeing ourselves up metabolically and also structurally to do these things based on what you know , today , what do you wish you would have implemented when it comes to physical conditioning slash training when you were at the age of 25 ? To make the question more general ?
That like you've , you've got to be strong , you've got to have muscle mass to accompany that strength . Probably because at some point when you lose enough of it , you lose the strength and you've got to have the cardio respiratory fitness . So there was another study that we looked at Bob that had the , I think it went out 10 years on the Kale Meyer Curves , didn't it ?
And I think that this goes hand in hand with the previous analysis which showed us that strength is the more important parameter which again , I , I don't think we're gonna be able to say that enough today . The importance of dead lifts as an adult . How has your thinking changed on this ?
One of the pillars in my framework for exercise . The first clip is from a recent A ma on the importance of preserving strength and muscle mass as we age . And the second is from an older episode where I speak about the importance of dead lifts and why I think they're so beneficial to our longevity .
It is pretty much maximum cardiac output just beneath vo two max above functional threshold . It puts an amazing strain on the body and frankly , while doing that is better than sitting on a couch all day , that is generally past the point of optimizing longevity returns and it actually comes at some longevity cost relative to something more at a slightly lower energy system . So , everything I'm talking about is geared towards this Centenarian Olympics , which we've talked about in the past , this idea of being the most kick ass 90 year old possible .
