Slow 100 - age 57, November 20, 2025, 4:55 pm ⚠️CAUTION: THIS VIDEO IS FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY. THE ACTION(S) SHOWN CAN BE DANGEROUS OR FATAL. PLEASE VIEW WITH DISCRETION. THIS CAPTION WAS WRITTEN BY ME AND NOT GPT. No matter how tired, stiff, or shitty I feel, this is the one exercise that always makes things right. I use lighter sets to open and mobilize my hips and knees while also getting my core to solidly connect my legs to my upper body. At the beginning, I expand my chest and hold it tall like a gorilla. Before I pull myself down into the squat, I grip the bar hard and I squeeze inwards with my chest muscles. Then I imagine that my hands are holding an immovable pipe so instead of curling the bar up to my shoulders, I’m thinking of pulling my shoulders down to the bar while still keeping my chest tall like a gorilla. 100 pounds is heavy for me in this exercise so I need to keep my weight on the outer edges of my feet while focusing on keeping my inner ankles high. This activates and connects the muscles on the outsides of my legs which allows me to use a lot more muscle to support the bottom position while I struggle to bring the weight up. Keeping my inner ankles high activate my big toes and lifts the arches of my flat feet, giving me a solid foundation. It’s a very dynamic blend of a concentric biceps curl with an eccentric squat and the effect on the core and the rest of the body is powerful and good. I’m creating a course for people who are new or returning to strength training. The course is also going to focus on exercises that are appropriate and effective for older people like me. These exercises will teach you how to control your muscles and joints through their available range of motion by breathing and going slowly. If you comment “SECRETS” I’ll let you know when it’s ready and I’ll also send you my email newsletter. Thank you for being here. Aloha - @billmaeda
