  2. 33 Life Lessons From 33 Years

    6 DAYS AGO

    33 Life Lessons From 33 Years

    My birthday message - 33 lessons from 33 years of living and learning.  Nobody likes you when you're twenty-three. Why? Because as I sit down to write this, I'm actually surprised I didn't write it ten years ago. I had a lot to say in my early twenties. The problem is, who wants to get life advice from a 23-year-old? Hopefully, no one.  Well, what about thirty-three? It's a weird spot. Not old, but not exactly youthful either. I guess age is relative.  Interestingly, regardless of age, most people believe who they are right now is who they'll be in the future. Research shows that for groups aged 18 to 68, people describe more change occurring in the past decade than they would have predicted ten years ago [1]. For example, researchers asked 33-year-olds how much they believed they would change in the next ten years and compared their responses with the changes 43-year-olds reported having made in the past ten years. Young, middle-aged, and older people believed they had changed a lot in the past but would change relatively little in the future. We don't think our personalities, values, and choices will change much, but they often do. And that makes sense. You shouldn't be the same person you were ten years ago. You shouldn't even be the same person you were one year ago. Life is about progress. It's why every year, on my birthday, I take inventory of the previous twelve months. What have I accomplished? How much have I grown and changed? What have I learned? I want to expand that further this year. What do I have to say after 33 years? Here are 33 lessons.

  3. Custom Programs, Hybrid Training, Lifting Gear, and More [Q&A]

    Custom Programs, Hybrid Training, Lifting Gear, and More [Q&A]

    In this episode of the Absolute Strength Podcast, Derek and I answer your questions! Sit back, relax, and enjoy!   Questions on the show: Hey Kyle and Derek!  I love the show. I’m 60 years old and have been lifting for 30 years.  The first 10 years or so I lifted for strength and the last 20 have been more hypertrophy style lifting. ( I also moved furniture for a living) I’ve taken breaks here and there for other life events but it’s been 4 or 5 days a week for most of that time. Ive gone back to some strength training but I’ve  had to reduce the weight of my squats and deadlifts a bit lately because of a twinge I keep getting in my back and I believe I’ve maxed my genetic potential. Any advice to an older lifter that just wants to maintain my strength and fitness but doesn’t want to wreck his back?  Lighter weights or should I do alternative lifts I’ve been following a couple of generic strength programs for the past year, but I feel like I need something tailored to my weaknesses. How do I know when it’s time to adjust my programming, and what changes should I prioritize? Hey guys, I want to get stronger, but I also don’t want to lose my conditioning. I guess you could say I want to do hybrid-style training. How do you recommend balancing strength work with cardio without sacrificing gains? I’ve been lifting for a while now, but I’m not sure if I should invest in a belt, knee sleeves, or wrist wraps. At what point should I start using lifting equipment, and how do I know what’s best for me? I just bought a new house, and I’m looking to build a home gym, but I have limited space and budget. What are the essential pieces of equipment you’d recommend to cover all my strength training needs? I’m considering moving up a weight class for my next powerlifting meet. How should I approach gaining weight without sacrificing my strength-to-weight ratio?     Sign up for the newsletter: The FREE Essential Strength Program The FREE Hunt Fitness Flexible Dieting Manual   Hire Kyle as your coach: http://www.kylehuntfitness.com/services/   Connect with Kyle: KyleHuntFitness@gmail.com http://www.kylehuntfitness.com/   Connect with Derek: @DerekCharlebois https://www.prbreaker.com/   Programs: Powerbuilding: Absolute Progress 2.0 Powerlifting: Absolute Strength 3.0 Bodybuilding: Absolute Muscle Get 10% OFF PR Breaker Supplements: DISCOUNT CODE: "HUNT" at https://www.prbreaker.com/discount/HUNT
