Being able to walk stairs on your own, do physical activities you enjoy, and even open a jar by yourself at 81 years old would put you in the 1 percentile. You can be better off than that though! This is Philip Bradfield. He’s 81 years old, has been working out for the past 40 years, and gets around better than most 60 year olds. Not only that, he’s an active bodybuilder and won the 2023 NPC National Championships, taking 1st place and the overall at the age of 79!
I talk a lot about longevity and how muscle mass, strength, and VO2 max (cardio) are the most important factors in living a long, healthy life. Philip is a perfect example of this and should be an inspiration to all of us.
Moral of the story. Get your ass in the gym and put in the work. No excuses. You’ll thank yourself down the road. . .
