hey
[Music]
my father turned 70 and a doctor told
him mohan that's his name if you don't
do something about your health because
your muscles are degrading so rapidly i
don't know if you live to be 75 now i
love my dad
and i damn well wanna make sure he lives
a long life and so i started going into
longevity studies that i could also help
my father we know true signs that after
the age of 30 whether you're a male or a
female you're losing one percent of your
musculature every single year and we
accept that as normal the leading cause
of death for americans 70 and older is
not cancer it's not heart disease the
leading cause of accidental death for
americans 70 years and older according
to cbs news is falling down
it's because their musculature has
become so degraded so weak they fall and
they break something
and i didn't want that happening to my
father
right so how could i get my father's
musculature back to healthy levels for a
70 year old man
now when he first started doing this
exercise we calculated his one rep max
now let me tell you the numbers okay
i can do 140 pounds that's my one rep
max for the leg press my father could do
80. and he was telling me addition i'm
twice your age and i can lift half as
much this feels so bad
four weeks later
after going through the 10x protocol
this is what happened to my dad this
would be
the same way
let's do it
so he's now doing he's attempting to do
140.
the same weight as me 42 years old
that's my dad's sexiest gym shirt
now what he's doing there is a little
bit of creative visualization that's why
he's breathing and closing his eyes
push push push push push first first
first 140. and he does it
but now
now
that just starts showing off he does it
a second time
[Applause]
and then and then he does it
he freaking does it a third time he
beats me
amazing
so i started my own research lab in
mindvalley we brought in incredible
researchers brilliant minds and we tried
to answer the question what is the best
exercise routine to truly develop high
musculature because we know musculature
is one of the highest correlations with
longevity we developed a program called
10x and what we were able to do is in 30
minutes a week in four months create 25
strength gain in people under 30 50
strength gaining people in their 40s and
in the case of my father who's in the
70s 68 strength gain that mind you is in
30 minutes a week now when i applied 10x
to my own body remarkable things happen
my chest grew my waist shrank my biceps
transformed all of this because i was
now applying the right exercise so a key
component of 10x is that you are going
to be working out with really heavy
weights okay so before you start the
protocol you go to the gym and we
calculate what is called your one rep
max everyone say that with me one rep
max now this was completely
counterintuitive to what you learn from
a gym instructor right but this is what
science is saying worked specifically it
was a method called the super slow
method all of a sudden i hit 42 and i
have a better body than i had when i was
21.
