What is the importance of strength training after 40?
Hello everyone and welcome back to the show. You thought Christmas was over and here I am giving you another present. This tremendous conversation with Jordan Syatt, one of my absolute favorite, go-to fitness thought leaders. first caught Jordan's work when he was the personal trainer to Gary Vaynerchuk. Jordan has since gone off on his own, and just the way that he delivers content speaks to me personally. It is no nonsense, no bullshit, straight down the middle content that is going to hit you right in the easy comfort, but not in that like influencer way. Not in that like, look at how amazing I am way. It is real world, real talk from a guy who has a real family, who really works out, who really was a weightlifting champion, but is, as he says, I think he says he's like five, eight. I you know, gifted by God individual who then tells you all these things you should be doing. This is a real guy doing the work, training real people and delivering that message in a real way.
And it absolutely resonates with me. And I know it will resonate with you. So with all that being said, I give you your last Christmas present, Jordan Saeed. You can curse. You can tell stories. Get contextual. All good. There's no art rails on a conversation. Amazing. Awesome. Awesome. I also really like that. I like your jacket, man. That's like something I would wear. I really like that a lot. That's awesome. Straight Instagram purchase. Really? Dude, it was late night. It's like Instagram fucking knows when I've had a beer or two and I'm sitting on the couch by myself. It knows. It's like it knows. Smell it on me. It's like he's just enough. His inhibitions are down just enough that if we serve this ad, he's going to hit purchase right here.
Yeah. Honestly, I bet they do do that on purpose. Like, all right, this time of night. That honestly makes total sense. I'm not even a clothes guy. All my stuff, hand-me-downs, I love. That's nice. I really like it a lot. I've had this for two years. I wear it... So, I live in Albany, New York. So, in upstate. Okay. Yeah, yeah. It's cold as shit. And my office is in my basement. And there's no heat. Like, not... You know, it's not real hot down here. And this thing is beautiful. And you throw it on all the time. And... But here's the... This is the crazy part. So, I got divorced three years ago. And, like, you maybe... I don't know what your relationship is like, but... My ex-wife, like, she had her hands in my clothing purchases a lot. So, like, since I've been divorced, I got to make all these decisions on my own, right? Okay, I'm a grown man, so I can do that. I have found, and I shit you not, the clothes I love the most, and I'm not a big clothes guy either, I buy off Instagram. Flux shoes. I found Flux shoes on Instagram. Fucking love them.
Don't buy another pair of shoes. They're my favorite shoes. Other than I have a pair of... No bulls that I wear for lifting, but, like, other than that, flat bottom, so, like, zero drop, wide sole. Yeah. Dude, find him on Instagram. This sweatshirt, this is, like, $45 on Instagram. Like, it just... Instagram's got my, like, me so dialed in. It's unbelievable.
I just linked up Flux, because I need... I'm in the market for new shoes. That's perfect.
Yeah. Their trainers are nice, but, um... These, dude, these just zero drop fucking kick around shoes are awesome.
I like that. Yeah. Perfect. Thank you, man.
Hey, we're off. Who knew this was going to be a big ad for the Instagram shop? All right. With all that being said, dude, I want to talk about something. I want to start in a place, and you take this or wherever you want, but I'm going to hit you with a scenario that I know a lot of dudes, so I'm 43, a lot of dudes my age are dealing with. and here's the scenario. Last January, it's cold as shit in upstate. We don't see the sun for, like, six months, okay? Do you still live in New York, or where are you now?
No, we're in Dallas.
Dallas, okay, so screw you, but good for you. I know you used to be in New York when you were a wick, so you understand the weather in the winter.
