 Hey guys, welcome back from lunch. Thank you for coming back into Jiffy For those of you who aren't here yet. You aren't hearing me, but maybe later you'll watch this So tough crap watch it online Anyway, next speaker up is scholar Tanner. He is a returning speaker to the 21 convention He spoke last year for the first time in the land of Florida and now we're here in Austin, Texas where he lives Although isn't born here. It's born in California. I believe yeah sort of local Texan His speech this year is titled strength training and the biomarkers of aging Which is a little bit different than I think it originally was In all cases, it's gonna be awesome. He is a general manager at a fish and exercise a good friend a blogger at scholar tanner calm and a complete badass Welcome to scouting or the stage Beautiful How you doing can I get a hell yeah, no don't actually do that All right strength training and the biomarkers of aging Biomarkers of aging are things that are Sometimes chemical sometimes neural they tell you how old you are And without having a chronological age tied to it I'm gonna tell you how You can use that in your life going forward Hopefully make you think about getting older and the changes that go on and how you can cut that off at the pass I only have one piece of pickup advice here I'm married being a pickup artist means I clean well stylishly around the house Um But it's right here. Hey pretty want to date. Yes smile. No backflip pretty good in theory You might run into a problem if she's a gymnast Uh, but I have a solution Hit on cheerleaders one in four shot. She's not gonna make it Not gonna make it and you're good. You're good. You're great So it's the efficient exercise afternoon and starting off on the far end of the phenotypic spectrum here is me Keith is over here as the far nice Hercules We think of ourselves like this you might see us maybe a little bit more like this here Sheldon from the big bang theory Duke nukem Shake it baby Um But we hope we entertain and inform you So why you should strength train is You know, y'all are young filled with testosterone like lifting heavy things I shouldn't have to convince you too hard about why you should strength train Uh, but I'll also tell you how to fix your body is more than the plasticity of your muscle tissue And then I'm going to teach you how to leverage diet to create biological immortality Uh, that's probably the only time Marilyn Monroe ever actually lifted weights. She was normally lifting bottles of pills Uh, why why why would you want to do these things to live longer? To live healthier and the benefit fully from your diet Strength training is the great leveraging agent It is a force multiplier if you eat like shit It will minimize the damage that you are incurring on yourself And if you eat pretty dang well You're going to maximize whatever it is you're capable of getting as far as health is concerned This is Clarence Bass. He is 70 years old And I think he owes the world some body fat at that level of leanness So what are the biomarkers they are 10 determinants of aging that you are capable of controlling Uh, they are things that tell you how old you would be if you didn't know how old you was That's from the ageless negro league pitcher here satchel page who was a rookie at the age of 42 And he pitched for about 10 years and did exceptionally well Uh, I modified the biomarkers a little bit because the original 10 included things like ability to regulate body temperature and um and basal metabolic rate pro tip Spoiler alert strength training affects all those in a positive way So when this book was originally written and I'll get to that in a second, uh, it was 25 years ago We didn't have the genetic technology to see what's going on at that small level So I have added gene expression and telomere length to the things that we can affect And of course the big bonus is immortality through diet that I'll get to at the end of this talk And I hope that's interesting to you all You know you should care because this is your birthright Uh And what I mean by that is that what is common is not normal Uh, I'm also trying to figure out here if this is normal You think you would you think you'd catch a little bit of of of his junk there, but alas Um Modern hunter-gatherers enjoy a lifespan of 72 years Heart attacks and stroke they appear rare And degenerative deaths are largely few and confined to early infancy, which is what skews the data They all die when they're young Drives down the modal age So this is common in america old men small animals busted legs But what is normal is more of what we got here Olga is 92 now She is a track champion, which you know at the age of 90 normally showing up means you win a medal but her her Her records are better than 10 to 12 years younger than she And you got to understand it's not like our age the difference between someone being 30 and someone being 20 It's it's almost a It's it's vastly different in those 10 years compared to our 10 years Ellsworth on the right here basically pioneered every Open heart surgeon surgery technique that would be used on you today Should you be so unfortunate to end up under the knife and he was practicing until the age of 96 That's when he just let his license expire. He was normally the third surgeon at that point So he could do everything but it would scare the crap out of you if Grandpa plus showed up at the table and said error. I'm gonna cut on you So what I want you to think about here because you're young you're sprightly You're cocksure piss vinegar I want you to try and imagine the future you you can do this a couple ways You could enter your face into a computer program that ages you And that's that's actually pretty cool Um, you know, you'd be the only person voluntarily doing that because most of the time you get in those flyers in the mail That are sort of like this child was abducted at three. Here's what she would look like at 30 And and you wonder why they're still looking uh, or The other thing is you can look at your parents So one day after I spoke last year. I went flew across the country to san diego This is my father He has a wonderful walrus mustache and you can start to see the similarities in your note in the nose and the eyes Uh, he just turned 60 a couple weeks ago. It was a lot of fun Uh, but you could see that, you know when you're young you're sort of like I'm not going to be like my parents So I don't resemble them and then you get older and you start going only crap I talk like them. I only tell stories like him. I answer the phone like yellow Like he does and and it's not it's ontological. It's a risen. It's just the way it is Um, why would I want you to imagine the future you? Because if you interact with an older version of yourself You have an increased tendency to save money if you don't do that You you literally think you're a different person It's this strange bizarre personal socialism kind of thing. Ah, someone else is going to take care of me when i'm 60 But like compound interest a little bit today is going to compound to huge health benefits later in life
