The Kris Gethin Podcast 225. Mike Ryan’s: Longevity at 59 and the Blueprint for Strength That Lasts
Most guys fall apart with age. Excuses pile up. Strength fades. But Mike Ryan proves you can get stronger every decade. At nearly 60, he’s outlifting men half his age, and he’s been doing it while training Hollywood’s biggest names like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson .
In this episode, we break down what actually drives longevity in fitness. Mindset over motivation. Why recovery, hydration, and sleep matter more than the latest trend. And why your environment will dictate your results more than any program.
Mike gets real about TRT and peptides, the role of cheat days, and what decades at Gold’s Gym Venice have taught him about strength, discipline, and staying relevant. We also tackle overrated vs. underrated exercises, celebrity training under pressure, and how to avoid the social media nonsense that’s making lifters weaker.
Mike Ryan is a Gold’s Gym Venice legend who’s trained top celebrities and athletes, including Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. At nearly 60, he’s still pushing massive weight and proving that longevity comes from discipline, mindset, and consistency.
