Fitness tips I know approaching 50 that I wish I'd known when I was 20: (Bookmark for 30 years of fitness knowledge in 1 post) 1. People underestimate how much fat they have to lose.

@DreamBodyClinic You know it 💪🏼

@ted_ryce Truth

Lifting weights is the single most effective exercise for fat loss. Not HIIT, running or circuit training. So if fat loss is your goal, choose one of these: • 3 Full Body Workouts/week • 2 Upper Body + 2 Lower Body Workouts/week Every other form of exercise comes after.

@cps23800 A calorie deficit is the single most effective thing for fat loss But lifting is the single most effective exercise for fat loss Try to keep keep up😉

@ted_ryce Lol Ted, come on now , lets not change the subject and deflect! You said that it is the most effective thing for fat loss is weight training. that statement by itself is not accurate. No matter if you’re a celebrity trainer or not 🤷🏻‍♂️

A strong body after 40 creates momentum everywhere else in life. More energy. Better sex life. Real confidence. More resilience. Most men think getting in shape is about aesthetics. Until they realize how much extra body fat was costing them.

@Vince_Noir77 @SpinninBackfist He didnt voluntarily drop down He got taken down I’m sure this was for content and I’m also sure he knew exactly what would happen (he would lose) Grappling is an incredibly complex skill. Either you’ve built it or you haven’t

@SpinninBackfist This is Bullshit, Larry voluntarily dropped at 7 seconds for no reason. Isn't was a takedown. He could have lifted him easily. Size isn't everything agreed, but this was stage or Larry clearly wasn't going to get hurt to prove a point.

Larry Wheels (streamer/bodybuilder) vs amateur MMA fighter went about how you would expect

@TheMacArmy1 Better decisions + better BJJ instruction = faster black belt

@ted_ryce You just gave hope to the rest of us🙏!!!

I started Jiu-Jitsu 20+ years ago. Got my black belt last year. Here are 7 things I’d do differently: 1. I wouldn’t train hard all the time. I used to think intensity was the answer. It’s not. Load management is. You need hard days and easy days. If every day is hard, you’re on your way to poor performance and injuries 2. I’d prioritize nutrition for performance, not just leanness. I spent years doing low-carb. Bad idea. You need carbs to train hard, recover and perform. Calories, timing, and food quality matter more than any “diet.” 3. I’d protect my sleep like it’s part of training. I used to train late, get wired and sleep like shit. That caught up with me fast. Poor sleep leads to higher injury risk, worse recovery, and declining performance. 4. I’d build an aerobic base. Jiu-Jitsu is already high intensity. The answer isn’t more hard training. It’s low-intensity cardio to improve recovery and give you a bigger aerobic engine. 5. I’d train for performance, not just lift weights. Now I focus on mobility, plyometrics, and explosive work first. Then I do Full Body strength/hypertrophy work after. Leave bodybuilding splits for bodybuilders. 6. I’d learn how to rehab injuries early. I used to train through pain and hope it would go away. It doesn’t. Now I address issues immediately and know how to bring my body back. 7. I’d take recovery seriously. Before, I’d just sit around and hope I’d feel better the next day. Now I use massage, sauna, mobility work and other methods to facilitate faster recovery. I progressed fast early. I got my blue belt in one year of training and got my purple a year later. But then the injuries started slowing me down. Most people think it’s about training harder. It’s not. It’s about staying healthy long enough to get good.

@Gundys69 Diet is the real fat loss king

@ted_ryce Yep - with a great low carb diet and the fat falls off.

@MikeDBears34 @XanderS9399 @AntiDoc It doesn’t matter Grappling is incredibly complex. I’m in solid shape and a decent BJJ black belt. And there are guys who’ll tap me in a min or less even though I know what they’re trying to do and know how to defend it The levels are hard to fathom if you don’t train

@XanderS9399 @AntiDoc True, I never have. Was just thinking the sheer size difference he could at least hold him off a little longer

Well boys this one is gonna be dropped in all of our replies (with no mention of fighting) for the next 10 years.

@VanceE @ReginaReSpektor @AntiDoc Exactly lol

@ReginaReSpektor @AntiDoc It would have taken 5 seconds longer

@maxlugavere I started using em dashes when I write because I kind of like them Then got rid of them as the AI slop started accelerating lol

Y’all are looking for em dashes but “quietly” popping up everywhere may be the most cringe AI tell. That or preemptive defensive framing… “not X” when X was never suggested to begin with.

Hey man, you seem really upset 😂 Hope your Friday’s going alright. Cardio is great for cardiovascular fitness and can absolutely help with fat loss. My point is that resistance training preserves/builds lean mass during weight loss, which is why I said it’s number one for anyone trying to lose fat Here’s a meta-analyses that says exactly this: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC44…

Absolutely false , your speaking your opinion. No data , no facts. I have done 35 years of distance running and lifting weights. You obviously have not done high intensity, distance workouts. Stop trying to sell your program, provide useful information based on experience and data!

@FartNuggetz_4U @DornerClipz Would be even for worse for Larry. Go to an mma gym sometime and experience it for yourself

@DornerClipz Not realistic, Larry could have kicked the dudes's head off in a real fight.

Larry Wheels thought the strength difference would matter… until the MMA fighter instantly trapped his leg in a submission like it was NOTHING 😳💀

@PearlJean7 @DornerClipz If there was punching & kicking, it would be worse Size and strength mean almost zero if there’s no technique backing it up Go experience it for yourself if you have doubts

@DornerClipz But let’s be serious Larry has no intent in causing harm and these guys are trying to show off . I bet if Larry jus started punching dude in the backbone head he would let go

Incredible show of skill by two lightweight MMA fighters grappling with 260 lb Larry Wheels. Sparring a pro - even at 130 lbs - is like going against a pro tennis player You have no chance. Big respect to Larry for getting in there and experiencing it.

@chrismwojcik Especially these days. There are many, many levels to this lol

Fighting is one thing that every guy thinks they should be good at even if they don’t train to do it well. Maybe it comes from like a primal urge to be able protect others and oneself. Maybe it’s ego. Either way, imagine being like “I’m sure I’d be decent at baseball even though I’ve never practiced it” The audacity 🤣

Your bloodwork matters more than your biohacks. Stop taking random peptides. Stop buying NAD supplements. Stop copying influencer protocols. Start getting: • DEXA scans • VO₂ max testing • Comprehensive blood panels Let objective data—not hype—tell the truth about your health.
