Ripped at 50

It’s now Day 84 and I’ve eaten the same basic foods everyday since Day 1. However, my progress has been noteworthy. I started out at Day 1 at around 318 pounds (If I remember correctly).

Sam Ridgeway shows pictures of his progress at day 84 of his journey in weight loss utilizing Male Hormone Replacement Therapy and a change in diet which has been supervised by Shelby Starnes. Sam also shows off his new chest tattoo and the t-shirts he has that match!!!

Male Bag Segment – How Do You Get Motivated to Get Back Into the Gym? The question from one of our subscribers is, “How do I get motivated to go back to the gym and stay there?” I give you my opinion, formed from my life experiences. You have to get results in order to maintain motivation. The trifecta of excercise, diet, and supplements is an amazing way to be able to maintain motivation because results are real, they are visiable, and you feel better – so much better.

I tried to lose weight for years and I failed miserably, over and over again. I’d try one diet, then I’d try another. In fact, it almost got comical because Monday’s, in my head, were “Diet Days”. I had every intention of doing it right “Next Time”. But usually by Tuesday, Wednesday at the latest, I had screwed the whole thing up so bad that I figured I’d just start again on Monday. It’s not only frustrating, it’s demeaning, emasculating… in fact, since you’re usually overweight because you’re an emotional eater, do you think beating yourself up over failure after failure helps curb your appetite? Of course it doesn’t. As crazy as it sounds, I would actually eat more during the rest of the week because I figured… I might as well enjoy myself before I started the “Real” diet again on Monday. I gave myself permission to overeat. Sometimes I wonder if I didn’t subconsciously lie to myself about “really trying” on Monday because I was just using it as an excuse to eat whatever the hell I wanted from Wednesday through Sunday. It doesn’t even matter I suppose. It was an epic failure, week after week. Which turned […]

It’s the 51st day into the Ripped at 50 DocuSeries where I paid an IFBB Professional to tell me what to eat. He reevaluates my performance on a weekly basis and modifies my diet as necessary. In this video we look at Progress Pics AND I have a surprise! I have gotten the green light to offer the services of my Diet Coach for 5% off to LiveLikeAViking YouTube Subscribers! Simply go to www.LiveLikeAViking.com, choose Products from the menu, select Diet, and choose a package. You WON’T regret it… as long as you follow what the coach tells you to do… Hormone Replacement Therapy is important if you are showing signs of lethargy, gaining fat easily, you’re over the age of 40, experiencing depression, etc. The bottom line, there’s no harm in getting your Testosterone and/or IGF-1 checked. It could make a world of difference. It’s day 51 of the Ripped at 50 DocuSeries and it’s time for another round of pictures as well as my assessment of how the diet is going. Now the last video I did was on Day 31… so some might ask, “Why the delay? Why wait over two weeks to post an update?” I’m […]

I’ve been at it for over a week now… following the individualized diet plan from an IFBB Professional Bodybuilder. Six meals a day totaling 3,700 calories. Am I gaining weight? How’s my strength? Is this working? Let’s discuss it all. Always remember, you’re never too Old to Live Like a Viking…

How you lift should depend on many factors, including age. What worked for us at 20 years old probably doesn’t work at age 51… or at least it’s probably not a good idea. Working out after 40 requires adjustments to your training regiment. What are those adjustments and how can you minimize your chances of injury? In this video I address the concept of Training to Failure. Should you do it? And, if so, how? Remember, you’re never too Old to Live Like A Viking!

You can follow this plan with me! All we have to do is make a few modifications, use a little math, and BOOM! You have a couple thousand dollars of information for FREE! Let’s go! “Whatever It Takes” is a docuseries where a… let’s be nice and say “Husky” 51 year-old purchases the expertise of an IFBB Pro Bodybuilder to take him from the brink of “Fluffy” to Ripped and Shredded. How to eat, how to train, supplements, drugs… the ultimate objective to compete in a bodybuilding show… with every intention of WINNING. The trials and tribulations of becoming a 51 year-old bodybuilder, getting Shredded, and doing… WHATEVER IT TAKES…
