A man who spends millions of dollars a year to reduce his biological age has made a bold revelation about his current workout regime.Bryan Johnson (pictured in 2019) has made it is quest to reverse his aging process. Credit: Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images for Tribeca Film FestivalBryan Johnson is 46 years old but his biological age is allegedly around 36, after spending approximately two million dollars a year to keep himself looking fresh and youthful.In a video update to his TikTok page, the entrepreneur-turned-social media personality opened up about how exercise plays a crucial role in maintaining his appearance, but it's not quite what we all expected.Johnson uses a special machine to help him complete what would be the equivalent of 20,000 sit-ups in 30 mins.That's right, despite Johnson already working out for an hour every single day, he also doubles down on his regime by using devices to keep his body toned and sculpted.Setting the machine to 100 percent and on level 15, the star described how it feels to use it.“What it feels like is, it’s pulling your entire stomach out. It’s like ripping it out," the tech entrepreneur said in the video.He also explained that it uses "high frequency" to "contract your muscles."“I thought I would be terribly sore after doing this, but actually I am not. Surprisingly. But I would say my mid-section has never felt stronger in my life and it does change how I feel athletically," he added after his routine was completed.Johnson has done this high-frequency workout multiple times, documenting the change in his abs on his social media platforms.Alongside this, he also sticks to a strict vegan diet to help him retain his figure.While this might work for the 46-year-old, TikTok users were not quite as impressed."I reckon I look younger than him and I'm 54," commented one user, while another added: "20,000 sit-ups and you aren't sore after? What a p**stake."A third also chimed in, writing: "Didn't [these] types of contraptions get debunked like 20 years ago??? I guess the younger folks are due for a scam if they've never heard of it before."Yikes.Johnson has been open about his mission to keep his biological age much younger than his chronological one.Calling it 'Project Blueprint', the businessman previously wrote an article for Medium where he stated that he aimed to "measure all 70 organs of my body and then maximally reverse the quantified biological age of each.""With my world-class team of doctors, researchers, and clinicians, if I am able to reverse my measured biological age by 1.01 years for every one year that passes, that is evidence that we have reached the first stage of aging escape velocity where life expectancy increases faster than passed time," he continued, before adding: "As for the magic pill, it appears that for the foreseeable future, achieving and maintaining peak wellness is just going to be a lot of really hard work."And it seems as though Johnson is ready to put in that "hard work" - as well as a lot of money - to keep himself young.On the other hand, I think I'd prefer to just let time do its thing.In the wise words of Jennifer Latch, aging is cool.Featured Image Credit: Skynesher/Getty

A man has taken to TikTok to show off the incredible transformation of his voice after three years on testosterone.

TikTok user @forrestfeels took to the social media website to share the incredible impact three years of testosterone had on his voice, beginning his now-viral video by saying: "My name is Miller and I am five days on T."

He then says: "This is my voice update: two months on testosterone," before sharing another update, "What's up? My name is Miller and I am ten months on testosterone."

Watch Miller's incredible voice transformation below: 

After this, Miller shares what his voice sounds like after a year on testosterone, with him saying: "I am officially one year on testosterone."

Miller's amazing journey then sees him show off his chest post top surgery where he says: "I am officially two years on testosterone and about two months post-op."

"And in about another month, I will be a few years on testosterone, so this is my progress," he says on the next clip.

Miller says: "Hey, what's up guys? Today I am officially three years on testosterone," in the final clip with a big smile.

The uplifting video did not go unnoticed on TikTok, and at the time of writing, it has been liked over 1.2 million times and received tens of thousands of supportive comments.

Some things just don't go together - iPhones and headphone jacks; bathtubs and toasters; and pineapple on pizza (don't @ me). However, there is a clear reason they don't sell alcohol in gyms.

Surveillance footage from a gym in China shows the moment an alleged drunk gymgoer attempted to build on his gains while under the influence. But despite the fact every personal trainer lives by the motto, 'no pain, no gain', this guy definitely won't be seeing the result he was hoping for.

The footage, which was recorded on December 8 at a gym in Chongqing, starts with the man bench-pressing a barbell with several plates on either side. However, it's not long before the weight becomes too much and he loses his grip.

Check out the painful-looking footage below. This could have been so much worse:

After dropping the bar across his chest, the man stands up and walks away... before immediately collapsing onto the floor.

Per the New York Post, the man suffered injuries to his soft tissue, but fortunately, he has already recovered.

According to the gym staff, the man had been drinking alcohol prior to his workout, but it is unclear how much he had to drink. Then again, it is generally considered good gym practice not to combine alcohol and exercise in a short period of time.

In other gym-related news from China, a traditional Chinese medicine doctor has recently wowed her Instagram followers after showing off her ripped body after turning to bodybuilding.

Check out her results in the video below:

[[jwplayerwidget||https://content.jwplatform.com/videos/9ZvgvJkS-dkXnENEs.mp4||9ZvgvJkS]]

Yuan Herong, 30, started bodybuilding two years ago because she wanted "look stronger". In an effort to turn her dreams into a reality, Herong began training at the gym five times a week, and now she has an absolutely stunning and ripped physique that she proudly showcases on her Instagram account.

Despite being a fan of sports and fitness from a young age, Yuan told the MailOnline that it was her parents' desire for her to have a stable career that led to her focusing on her studies first:

"Both my parents are doctors. At first, I didn't really want to study traditional Chinese medicine, I liked martial arts. My parents told me not to give up my medical studies because they said it was a career that could benefit me for all my life."

And last month, Yuan's hard work paid off when she came second in the women's Class-A competition in a national championship held by the Chinese Bodybuilding Association. However, it seems that the doctor now has another passion she wishes to pursue:

"After I make some money, I will use it to hire a master and learn martial arts. I have never given up my martial arts dream."

A fitness coach who stayed sober for almost a year has revealed what happened the moment he broke his sobriety.

Dan Hancock, who goes by the handle @mentalhealth_pt on TikTok, gave up drinking in 2023 after years of alcohol-fuelled nights out.

Now a personal trainer and mental health advocate, Hancock said he is the "happiest and healthiest he has ever been" since going sober.

But at the 322-day mark of his sobriety, temptation crept back in.

‘The sun was starting to come out…’

In a six-minute TikTok clip shared in 2024, Hancock revealed that he was "feeling great, happy, very healthy," and that being sober "was the best decision" he's ever made.

He said that while he breezed through the first eight months of not drinking, things changed with the arrival of warmer weather, and this led to him "forcing himself to not drink" for about eight weeks - a new struggle he hadn’t expected.

"The sun was starting to come out, there was a change in seasons... That was such a deeply conditioned relationship in my head with picking up a drink," he told his followers.

Convincing himself that ‘just one’ was fine

As the cravings grew, Hancock began rationalising a return to casual drinking.

"I've developed so many skills, I have proven to myself that I have an on/off switch, I now can go and enjoy nights out sober," he explained. "So therefore, I should be able to go out and have one drink or two drinks, because I can do the extremes. So, surely I could do something in the middle."

He even began questioning whether he’d ever had a real issue with alcohol at all. "All of these reasons popping into my head were guiding me and encouraging me to pick up a drink again... I was having this debate in my head, this back and forth, for quite a while."

"In my head, it was quite a logical conversation I was having with myself, weighing up the pros and cons... [alcohol] had already won," he said.

‘Like a switch’: The moment everything changed

Eventually, he gave in during a stag do with friends at the airport and got "wrapped up in the moment".

"For anyone who's been sober and thinking about picking up a drink again, I want you to hear what happened to me and how fast it happened," he said. "I had a drink and it was like a switch, honestly. It was like an on/off switch."

"That moment, as soon as I'd had that one drink, I knew where that night was going."

"Next thing I know, it's six in the morning the next day, and I'm sitting there with my mates on this couch," he shared.

Hancock said that he didn't "transport back into" who he was 12 months ago, when he decided to go sober. Instead, he went back to what he calls "the worst version of myself from six years before".

"I became that person again. Like that. That just shows you how quickly it happened," he told his followers.

The relapse and the lesson

Though disappointed with himself, Hancock said the experience ultimately reaffirmed his decision to stay sober.

"The positive was that [I decided] I'm not going to do this again," he said. "Now, I know that I can't stop. It's not for me, I should not drink, end of."

Even more surprising, though, he confessed that when he began to feel himself again after a few days of sobriety, he began to "crave a drink".

"How crazy is that? After not having that craving, impulse, or urge for a whole year. I immediately felt the craving again," he said.

Still, he isn’t beating himself up about it: "To realise and reinforce 100 percent that this is not for me. We can start fresh with a clean slate, knowing it's not for me, and also knowing that I've done it for a whole year before. And I can do it again."

Now, a year on from sharing the story, the personal trainer says he’s in a “completely different headspace” and remains fully committed to his sobriety.

Have you ever been to the gym in January? For the regular gym goers amongst you, the New Year gym hype fills these much-loved establishments with masses of flabby bodies trying to work off that Christmas cheese and chocolate.

For those of us usually averse to regular workouts, January marks the start of a new year, the landmark moment when we believe anything is possible - hence our forays into the gym to try and become a sculpted Adonis in time for summer.

Sadly, I fall into the latter category - I'm very much a January gym rat - but by February I've often lost interest, content to fall back into old ways and patterns which inevitably involve copious trips to McDonald's, lots of cheese-covered pasta, and a whole draw of the fridge filled with Coke cans. I'm ashamed to even write it.

With this in mind, it's clear that we need all the encouragement we can get when it comes to getting fit - and that's where Vance Hinds comes in.

Just over a year ago in 2017, Ellis County and District Assistant Attorney Vance Hinds, listened to The Joe Rogan Experience podcast to try and kickstart his own personal fitness revolution. On November 19 2017 he posted his first social media video documenting his transformation. In it he revealed that comedian Bert Kreischer inspired him after running a half marathon with very little time to prepare.

Speaking to the Waxahachie Daily Light, Hinds went into more detail:

"I woke up and started drinking my coffee, and I was looking at Instagram, and there’s a video of Bert finished the St. Pete half marathon in California. [sic]

"I was sitting in the chair thinking, ‘you know, if that silly son of a b*tch can run a half marathon on two and half weeks then I can get off this couch and walk.’ And so that was my inspiration. [sic]"

At the start of his journey Hinds weighed a whopping 475lbs - and started his weight loss challenge by simply walking with two friends. After a week, Hinds had actually gained three pounds, but he didn't allow this to put him off. He kept up the hard work and exercise, even enrolling in the Diamond Dallas Page yoga program. By April 2018 he had lost over 100lbs - great inspiration to take his journey to the next level.

Speaking more about previous weight loss misadventures, Hinds was honest about his struggles:

"Over my life, I’ve lost and gained hundreds, if not thousands of pounds. Normally, periodically, I start these paths, and I lose weight for a while, exercising on my own.

"But with my wife, it’s just us two, and it’s easy to talk yourself out of it. You do pretty good for a few weeks and a month, and then you start slacking off, and then you quit.

"I’ve done that over and over and over again.

"I don’t know if I have a choice anymore at the age of 52. I have to get this weight off of me.

"I just think if I have some extended sickness or injury that I’m going to get to the point that I’m not strong enough to move 462 pounds to be mobile.

"I don’t think I have a choice. When I started this, I was damn near 500 pounds, close to a quarter ton, so I gotta get it off."

Vance's amazing transformation took lots of hard work, but it finally paid off - you can watch the entire thing below:

365 days after starting his weight loss journey, Hinds weighed in at 277lbs, having lost a grand total of 198lbs – or just over 14 stone to you Brits!

I don't know about you guys, but watching Vance take the plunge makes me want to ditch some of my fast food habits and spend a little more time on the rowing machine. Sorry fellow gym-goers, but my flabby ass will be coming to an establishment near you very soon!
