Remember Annie?
She’s 60 years old with 16% Bodyfat and Deadlifts 185 lbs.

But it’s not Annie’s ripped physique or her deadlift weight that caught my attention. It’s the fact that she is 60 and I’m watching her belt out 16 consecutive double-unders that blew my mind.

She’s fuckin’ 60 years old!!!! And she’s not exactly the most coordinated athlete I’ve ever come across!!!

You should all be ashamed of yourselves for not having your double-unders!

C’monnnnnnn!!! It just takes some practice, dedication and you not saying, “I know, I know, I know” when I tell you what to do!

By the way, that’s not A.I.!

I mean, the circus environment, the clowns cheering for her, and the unicorn horn are definitely A.I. — but that’s really Annie!! And she’s really 60!
Most 60-year-olds can’t get out of a chair without needing a minute to catch their breath.

Every 3 minutes Perform one exercise (3) Rounds
Run 400
Row500/400
Ski 500/400

“This is Jen, a.k.a. Ripped Jen”



Ripped Jen is not crying because she didn’t want to take a picture with me, that was only part of the reason.

She’s crying because she just found out that her favorite restaurant doesn’t use Bell & Evans chicken.

Apparently, they use the kind of chicken that spends its life packed into a coop with thousands of other chickens, eating cheap feed and living in conditions that would make you never want to order chicken again.

Ripped Jen is yet another example of what happens when you EAT WELL & LIFT WEIGHTS CONSISTENTLY.

How’d she get the name Ripped Jen?

Because this is what happens when you LIFT HEAVY SHIT AND EAT WELL.

You look ripped, strong, and healthy.

You do nothing but cardio and eat lettuce all day, and you end up looking emaciated, gaunt, and like you’ve been on a hunger strike for decades.

I’d tell you Ripped Jen’s age, but the last time I did, I got in trouble.

(She’s 55.) 😂

She even told me a story about how her training carried over into her everyday life.

She specifically forbade me from telling the story…

But I can tell you that it ended with her hanging from an 8-foot fence for a substantial amount of time.

Hanging.

Grip strength.

Sound familiar?

That’s right—grip strength is strongly associated with longevity and healthy aging.

How did she accomplish this amazing feat?

She does pull-ups every fuckin’ day!!!!

She’s gonna live FOREVERRRRRRR.

Imagine someone who doesn’t train trying to hold up their own body weight for a couple of minutes.

Impossible—even if they were hanging over a fire pit.

YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT LIFE IS GOING TO THROW AT YOU.

YOU NEED TO LIFT HEAVY SHIT AND EAT WELL IF YOU WANT TO KEEP LIVING AN ACTIVE LIFE WELL INTO YOUR 80s AND 90s.

I went to see a friend of mine in a nursing home and rehabilitation center this past weekend, he died Sunday morning. I figured out why, check out what they were feeding him and everyone in there.

These are the ingredients in this poisonous cocktail:

Water, corn maltodextrin, sugar, canola and corn oils, milk protein concentrate, and soy protein isolate.

It also contains smaller amounts of vitamins and minerals, natural and artificial flavors, nonfat milk, soy lecithin, cellulose gel, cellulose gum, salt, and carrageenan.

It contains milk and soy.

Corn maltodextrin is a HIGHLY PROCESSED CARBOHYDRATE.

CANOLA AND CORN OILS ARE REFINED AND HIGHLY PROCESSED.

WE ALL KNOW WHAT EXCESSIVE SUGAR CONSUMPTION CAN DO.

SOY PROTEIN ISOLATE IS ALSO HIGHLY PROCESSED.

Soy lecithin, cellulose gel, cellulose gum, and carrageenan are used as emulsifiers, thickeners, and stabilizers. Some of these ingredients have also raised questions about their effects on the gut, particularly when consumed regularly.

So why are we giving products like this to people who are trying to recover?

The answer is usually that they’re convenient and calorically dense.

So apparently, if you’re healthy, we’re constantly told to avoid highly processed foods…

But once you’re sick and trying to recover, suddenly highly processed nutrition becomes the answer. 🙄

Makes perfect sense.

Ya know what makes more sense? Abbott is a pharmaceutical company.

I would have much rather they fed him cocaine so he could have at least enjoyed his last days.

This crap seems like something you would give to someone you were trying to make sicker, just so they can squeeze more money out of the insurance company. 🤔

This is Tara doing Heavy Ass Sumo Squats.

Tara is another fine example of Longevity Through Strength.

Tara lives—and has lived—a life of health and wellness for years.

She’s been EATING WELL AND LIFTING HEAVY WEIGHTS her whole life. She didn’t wait for the doctor to say, “You’re a fuckin’ mess. It’s time to start taking your health seriously.”

SHE’S GOING TO LIVE FOREVERRRRRRR.

Look at those arms and shoulders. That’s all NUTRITION & LIFTING right there!

You don’t get a structure like that from doing cardio and eating salad.

That shit right there is built from years of LIFTING HEAVY WEIGHTS!

By the way, Tara is 57 years old—a 57-year-old who most 30-year-olds are jealous of, men and women alike.

Tara is going to be lifting and looking this way well into her 80s.

It’s unbelievable what your body can do when you EAT WELL AND EXERCISE.

While many people Tara’s age are dealing with metabolic dysfunction, loss of strength and muscle mass, and chronic disease, Tara is thriving.

Besides being a fuckin’ beast in the gym, she’s also a sweetheart with a beautiful family.

Mel is the epitome of what the body can accomplish if you eat well and lift heavy shit.
Mel had baby Lucy two weeks ago and she’s already lifting and looks like she did before she had baby Frankie, 2 years ago.
This is what happens when you eat well and lift, your body not only performs well, but also recovers quickly.
This is longevity at it’s finest, Mel lives in GOOD HEALTH AND FREE FROM DISEASE because she eats well and lifts.
Most women who live a sedentary lifestyle decline in health after the first child and get worse as they birth more children.
Someone like Mel who lives a healthy lifestyle of lifting and eating well bounces back right away.
To most women birthing a child is a big deal, to Mel it was just a day that got in the way of her training.

You don’t normally hear this from me, but I’m happy to see you guys have really been focusing on your nutrition!
Eating well has really made the difference in the way you look.
This is great new!
No matter what the reason was that made you finally decide to start eating correctly, (MEAT, CHICKEN, FISH AND EGGS) doesn’t matter, you are actually doing it!
It’s all about nutrition, you want to change the way you look and have more definition, it’s THE FOOD YOU EAT!
You can workout twice a day, 7 days a week but if you still eat pizza, pasta, bagels, and fuckin doritos, you’re going to look like crap.
There’s no fuckin way around it, NUTRITION IS NUMERO UNO when it comes to changing the way you look!
LIFTING HEAVY SHIT CAUSES MUSCLE GAIN BUT IT WON’T TAKE AWAY THAT UNWANTED LAYER OF FAT THAT’S COVERING YOUR HARD EARNED MUSCLE!
IT DOESN’T MATTER WHO YOU FOLLOW ON SOCIAL MEDIA OR WHAT SOME DUMBASS SAYS ABOUT A NEW DIET OR NEW WAY TO EXERCISE, IT’S VERY VERY VERY SIMPLE!
SAY IT WITH ME, EAT MEAT, CHICKEN, FISH, EGGS AND LIFT HEAVY SHIT AND YOU WILL LOOK FUCKIN AWESOME!
You guys made me happy, that’s not an easy thing to do! 😊😊😊
You know what else would make me happy?
If you would all practice and get your fuckin double unders!!!!!!
They’re not that fuckin difficult!!!
You just jump over a fuckin rope!!!
Children do it all fuckin day long!!!!
C’mon Already!!!!!!
