“Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch, and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat.
Practice and train major lifts: deadlift, clean, squat, presses, clean and jerk, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc., hard and fast.
Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense.
Regularly learn and play new sports.

Do a set of squats, followed by cleans, every day, usually around breakfast. Don’t know what that other stuff is.
Now come up with a routine that a 70 year old with degenerative disc disease to do. I can’t find anything I can do to help build up muscle and lose weight that doesn’t hurt my back. Help!
