Serious question - what do you do to keep your shoulders in shape for all that paddling? Any way to prevent getting rounded forward?@Mr J - Nailed it. Keep up the strong work. Do, IMO, continue to partake of veggies and fiber.
@Duffy LaCoronilla - Dude. I'm in my mid-50s. Also, caloric restriction can have significantly negative impacts on your metabolism when done over time. Don't deny yourself, but also don't overdo it. As someone said above, moderation is key. As is varying your diet to ensure micronutrients of all different kinds get into the works.
My wife likes to say the body works like Goldie Locks. Not too little and not too much of any one thing. I hate when she says it, but it's true.
By the way, I didn't used to be in shape like this. I was a desk-jockey lawyer for over 20 years. I started paddleboarding in 2009 and it changed my life. All courtesy of this place, the erBB. Met some people here who motivated me, inspired me, and got me to challenge myself. Best day ever for me was 8/24/2008, when this shot of a few of us at San-O was taken - I won't name the people but I still love these guys in a not-gay way. I made a deal that day to the Catalina Classic with JP. We shook hands. Changed my entire life. I since won the Classic and have gotten onto the trophy a few times. I owe the erBB.

You're cute.We know. We have the photo evidence to prove it

I don't think that is sustainable. Your bod is starving much of the day.I haven’t really read everything here but my two cents….
- I just lost about 20 in 9 weeks.
I did it by simply by caloric restriction. I already “exercise” to the point of bodily damage so increasing activity was not an option.
I completely stopped eating dessert foods, sweets, processed foods. No breakfast, no lunch, as much as I can eat for dinner. Meat, potatoes, a bit of green stuff is typical.
I am hungry all the time but have more energy during the day.
- All this talk is about dietary cholesterol is a waste of time. Heart disease is almost entirely genetic. Yolo.
- Listen to whatever @sh3 is saying. I met him person. He’s a stud. He looks fit and healthy and rides very small surfboards. I’m guessing he’s in his mid forties.
If I was gay I’d be parked out in front of his house right now hoping to get a glimpse of him rinsing off his wetsuit.

A lot of stretching, what I call "rolling-and-smashing" (which is foam rolling and using soft balls, lacrosse balls, and theraguns on muscles), as well as body work and chiropractic. It's a constant battle. I like to wear a posture shirt about twice a month, too. With all that padding, your traps get big and you do become more prone to headaches, so you've gotta stay ahead of it.Serious question - what do you do to keep your shoulders in shape for all that paddling? Any way to prevent getting rounded forward?
That picture cracks me up every time I post it.You're cute.
you are doing really well. Some of that would be due to fortunate biomechanically robust genetics - some peoples joints and back for example just aren't going to handle it. Keep on shortboaring, its use it or lose it, I am not against mid lengths and went thu a phase of switching between short and a Takayama egg in my 40s, several sessions in a row on that made getting back in tune with the shortie harder. Like you said on the Attia thread train to shortboar at 70 which I think requires a lot of shortboaring in our 60s.I turned 62 last month. Still surf a shortboard comfortably. I'm 5'11, 165 lbs and the last board I got was a 5'10 Pyzel RT and it feels like the perfect size for me. I'm only good for about 2 hours max in the water though, at least in order to fully recover by the next day. Fitness has always been a lifestyle, so my story may add some credence to Attia's work.
Also, as I mentioned in an earlier post, in the last few years I've noticed how dramatic proper nutrition can be for an old active person.
I'm sure some people are more sensitive than others, but generally speaking all animals are intolerant because they're 'designed' by plants to be anti-nutrients. There is no controversy that they're anti-nutrients. It's rather that we've adapted to some varieties better than others. For the ones that we're not well adapted to I think it's like death by a thousand cuts, and the effects start to especially be expressed with age. Arthritis, for instance, is generally accepted a natural part of aging. It is for the sad (standard American diet) diet. A low lectin diet cured my life long eczema and the arthritis that was starting to develop in my fingers in recent years, both autoimmune issues.You also have an allergy/intolerance to lectins
I’d show you my cock too but someone is borrowing my macro lens.did duffman just show us his t!ts?
I hit 199 this morning. Time to add in lunch and kettlebells. Going to shoot for maintaining 200-205 range. Still have some body fat to lose and hope to replace it with some muscle. It’s pretty difficult to put on any kind of real muscle mass at our ages but I can make some improvements.@Duffy LaCoronilla - Dude. I'm in my mid-50s.

I saw a video where he talked about what you’d like to be able do in your last decade of life. I took that to mean in my 90’s. I have a grandpa who lived to 103 and was golfing a full round until at least 97 (when the local paper did a front page feature in him). Myself, I’d like to be hiking around the mountains in my 90’s. I’ve met lots of folks on the trails in their 80’s. Don’t know about 90s. I’d like to be surfing in my 80s. I know one fellow who surfs in his late 70s on the mellow days. But I don’t know that any of those people “trained” for it. Grandpa never trained, just walked every day (and drank a martini every evening). I’m starting to do that training now that I have the time (retired) and fukkin enjoy it.I read Attia’s book and what seemed unique in his approach to aging is how he kind of reverse engineers it, determining what you’d like to be able to do at an advanced age and then training to meet that goal. For example, if you want to shortboard at 70 you may have to train to maintain mussel mass, cardiovascular capacity, flexibility, and balance, as well as eat well, in order to have that ability at 70.
I had a look into what you said and your first paragraph appears to have given a good description - although ai said not exactly balloons, but more like droplets, but that droplet does have a outer layer and a core. I didn't know any of that. If we want to get even more technical then those droplets are actually lipoprotein with cholesterol embedded in the outer and inner core. The lipoprotein droplets are to transport the cholesterol which is in both the outer and layer and core. Regardless of particle size and whether the lipoprotein is HDL or LDL, the cholesterol that is transported remains the same. This is maybe what you mean by no one "ever died of high cholesterol".
Name the person who ever died of high cholesterol.
Cholesterol is a requirement of human life. Cholesterol particles are little balloons filled with fat derivatives (acetone triglycerides). The walls of the balloons are lipoproteins, just like cellular and mitochondrial membranes. The liver creates cholesterol particles for the purpose of feeding fat to cells while replenishing their spent membrane lipoproteins.
The only bad cholesterol particles are compact low density lipoprotein (CLDL) particles. They are essentially dead cholesterol membranes, left over when a glycated (sugar-fied) liver fails to create healthy cholesterol particles. High serum triglyceride concentration is the other result of the same process failure.
I'm proud to go out on this limb. Disregard the entire cholesterol panel except for two entries: 1) Physical CLDL count per blood volume, and 2) Triglyceride blood concentration. The rest is meaningless, and varies only with patient genetics.
There are no such things as eating or avoiding eating cholesterol. For the reasons I covered the diet changes necessary for avoiding circulatory disease are to avoid alcohol and fructose (anything which tastes sweet).
Eat lots of fats,. saturated and unsaturated so you can make abundant healthy cholesterol. The only difference between saturated and unsaturated fats is the temperature where liquid turns to solid.
.
When I read that I thought to myself that doesn't sound right, isn't it the LDL getting that's getting glycated and not the liver. So I delved into that this morning.... a glycated (sugar-fied) liver fails to create healthy cholesterol particles. High serum triglyceride concentration is the other result of the same process failure.
