Is it too late to get strong after 50…after 60? Absolutely not. Today on the Pull-Up and Talk Podcast, Aldo ( ⁨@cruzadesofmotivation⁩ )and I talked with Antony, the 61-year-old powerhouse behind the YouTube channel  ⁨@funwithcalisthenics⁩  Antony’s story is incredible: He didn’t start serious calisthenics training until he was 55 yrs old. Since then, he has battled through a cancer diagnosis to achieve remission, mastered the muscle-up, and is now competing in weighted streetlifting competitions against athletes half his age. Topics we discussed: -Learning to muscle-up in your 50s. -Training through cancer recovery and building resilience. -The "2-Set Method" for strength gains without burnout. -Nutrition and supplements for older athletes (Is Creatine safe?). -Why "I'm too old" is never a valid excuse. Whether you’re interested in weighted calisthenics and men's health, or just need motivation to get off the couch, Antony proves that strength has no age limit. ☕ Enjoying the Pull-Up & Talk Podcast?
