DO NOT LOSE HOPE YOU CAN DO THIS!
In this featured photograph, I am 68 years old even after my battle through Prostate Cancer and Treatment in 2023 and its side effects.
I have worked out since my high school days in football, wrestling, and after my service in the U.S. Military. I was medically discharged due to knees and hip injuries. In my mid-40’s both my knees and hip got so debilitating that I could no longer workout in my gym and needed surgery on both knees and hip.
As result, I gained about 45- unwanted Lbs. and 7- inches in my waistline leading up to 2014. After knee surgeries and hip replacement at age 57, I got back on my CATABOLIC Diet and back into my gym. I lost 52 Lbs. along with 9- inches in my waistline.
I always measured my waistline as opposed to using scales. Scales can not determine muscle from fat.
Nerve Manipulation after Prostatectomy
In December of 2023, I was diagnosed with Stage 2 Prostate Cancer where I had Prostatectomy (surgical removal of the Prostate). Few months after my recovery, I developed back issues that I never had before. With a lot of research, I was able to detect the issue and develop a few simple back relief exercises in conjunction with my IRONCLAD Fitness regimen. The back exercises have totally eradicated my back issues.
Below are the nine exercises that I developed to relieve my back issues, Brandy demonstrated these for me in my gym:
Just these 9- Exercises helped me to eliminate my back issues with symptoms of tight calves and numb feet.
The down side, I had to eliminate some of my IRONCLAD Fitness Exercises that I enjoyed doing with the Medicine Ball, i.e., Russian Twist and Diagonal Wood chopper (or Stocking the Shelves).
If you have back issues, you will need to eliminate twisting and lateral (sideways) bending from your workout routine and especially from your daily activities, especially underload. Bing a golfer, I hated to eliminate these core exercises, but I had no choice if I wanted to eliminate the tight calves and my numb feet. Both interfered with me walking and my balance issues. The very last thing you want to lose is your balance.
IRONCLAD to Reverse Your Aging Process
Working with resistance training also reverses the aging process that allows the muscles to release a natural growth hormone that contains the age-defying Collagen that you can produce at any age. Collagen replace and rejuvenate your cells on a regular basis if stimulated with IRON, especially your skin cells. I am not referring to IRON supplements, but pumping THE IRON.
Unfortunately what naturally occurs if you do not pump IRON, is your cell replacement process starts to slow down in our early to mid 30’s than stops by our 60’s. If you want younger looking skin don’t pick up medication, but instead pick up some IRON, resistance Training.
What is even more significant is you don’t have to be a power lifter to gain benefits from IRONCLAD Fitness, but just workout with a pair of dumbbells that you can do 10 reps with for starters before adding sets of 10-to-15 reps. Building muscles also burns calories; for every pound of muscle added your are burning 50 calories per day.
Guys, during one of my 60-minute workouts, I can burn 545 calories. Now if you just add 10 pounds of muscle, you’re burning 500 calories per day.Read about my 96-AB PACK JOCK-CRX Fitness Routine that allowed me to have skin that I had in my mid-30’s at age 68:
