About this listen
What does it actually take for a man in his 60s or 70s to get fitter—especially if he hasn’t worked out in decades?
In this episode of Against the Norm, Norman Calvo sits down with his personal trainer and strength coach Brandon Chu (Liv Method, Manhattan), who shares a refreshingly real roadmap for older men: start smaller than you think, build consistency first, and use accountability to make it stick.
You’ll hear:
- Why most men don’t change until a doctor or scare forces it
- The “momentum” approach: tiny steps that actually lead somewhere
- Why gyms feel intimidating—and how to lower the barrier to entry
- The simple truth about muscle loss, bone density, strength training, and protein as we age
- The mindset shift Brandon calls “chosen suffering”: pick the discomfort now, or pay for it later
This one is practical, funny, and motivating—especially if you’re thinking, “I should really start… but I don’t know how.”
