How An 83-Year-Old Grampa Gained 6 Pounds of Muscle and Tripled His Strength in 3 Months

Meet Sethu. He’s an 83-year-old geologist, father or 3 adult kids, and 6 grandkids. He was an avid gym-goer for 30 years before COVID, but with the lockdowns, he couldn’t go to the gym anymore, and as a result, aged really quickly.

• He lost some muscle.
• He lost a significant amount of strength.
• He became sluggish.
• His sleep wasn’t as good.
• There was a chronic low-grade joint ache.

With the gyms re-opening, he decided to hire a personal trainer (yours truly) to turn things around.

And in the 3 months we’ve been working together, he:

• Gained 8 pounds of muscle.
• Lost 4 pounds of fat.
• Got stronger than he was before the lockdowns.
• Started to sleep better.
• Lost his joint pain.

How did he do it? That’s what we’ll cover in this article. But if you want to hear Sethu tell his own story, check this video:
