Discover how an orthopedic surgeon thinks about aging strong—and how to train now so you can stay active later. In this episode, Sifu Slim  sits down with Dr. Rick Scheinberg, Santa Barbara orthopedic surgeon, who has long worked with college and pro teams and athletes, including tennis legend Jimmy Connors, to compare notes on what really matters for healthspan: movement, posture, smart strength training, and the “boring” muscles that become priceless as we age. Dr. Scheinberg shares his shift from traditional “big surgery” thinking toward a more conservative, patient-centered approach—plus why he believes quads and calves are often the most overlooked longevity muscles (especially for fall prevention). They also explore the role of grip strength, hanging work, tennis longevity, and why timeless training principles (think Jack LaLanne) still hold up. Guest: Dr. Richard Scheinberg Bio: Dr Rick is a Santa Barbara–based orthopedic surgeon with decades of experience treating athletes and active adults. He’s passionate about helping people extend their healthspan through smart strength training, joint resilience, and less-invasive orthopedic approaches that can help many patients stay active longer.
