Bass's long life (1937, New Mexico, USA) has long been devoted to cultivating his body: he pioneered the Olympic uprising, wrote a column in Muscle and Fitness magazine for 16 years, published Ripped, A series of books on fitness, and has practiced all types of training to customize one's own that has allowed him to reach the age of 80 in better physical shape than most of the mortals at 30. "It is important for people to know that Physical condition does not have to go downhill from 50, "he explains to the same publication. Watching the photographs of this retired lawyer who has dedicated the last 20 years of his life to publicize the benefits of bodybuilding shows that there is still hope.
These are the keys to his enviable physical form:
Diet. Bass has kept the same diet for 50 years. In it it emphasizes the breakfast: hard eggs and sardines bathed in mustard. "I do three main meals and three snacks a day, and I never skip any of it." My diet is made up of vegetables, fruits, cereals and protein of good quality. However, there is an ingredient that has recently added to its menus: "In recent years I have added good fat to my meals, usually salmon. It is beneficial for the heart and circulatory system." Their strong eating habits allow them to have only 3% of body fat (the normal thing in a man is to have between 6% and 20%).
Training. The athlete says that his exercise routine has hardly changed in the last 20 years. The key? Sessions short but intense. "Alternate strength-training days with other high-intensity aerobic workouts. I train two or three times a week, and on free days I go out for an hour and a half [about 6,000 steps]. One hour and my aerobic sessions about 25 minutes. " In order to avoid injuries, it is recommended to respect the recovery time between one training and another.
Health. After 50 years of demanding training, Bass had to undergo surgery several times. In one of these ITVs the doctors decided to replace the hip. "I had my hip surgery in 2006, but I continued to train as soon as I recovered." The body responds well if it is accustomed to exercise.I do not know if my high level of physical activity caused it to wear out. Joints improve when worn regularly, "says the bodybuilder Iron Man. Bass acknowledges that his past as an Olympic lifter has caused some problems with his joints. "I have weakness in the left shoulder and arthritis in the lower back, so when I train I avoid movements that aggravate any of the two conditions."
Sex life. "My sex life is great I have a good erection Training hard helps with all this Your brain, your heart and your limb water better and you get more blood You can not avoid aging, but you can make it work I think I'm the living proof of that, "he tells Men's health.
Philosophy. Your mission remains to challenge yourself by trying to improve with each workout. That's why maintenance circuits are not an option. "The maintenance exercises are tedious.Without goals there is no motivation, and without motivation it is impossible to enjoy training.When I achieve one goal, I establish another immediately.The most important thing is that goals are realistic and challenging at the same time.That is my mentality , And I think it has a lot to do with my success. "
Your message. "Most people have the ability to get the same thing as I do." I'm just an example of what happens when healthy potential and lifestyle come together.The only effective training diet is the one that stays indefinitely. You must believe that it is possible and that you can do it to achieve it.My books give readers reason to have high expectations.Sense exercise and healthy eating can and should be a joy. "
