I’m 62 and do all these exercises without any problems probably because I started pushing weights 4 years ago so don’t have the wear and tear of an adult lifetime of this kind of exercise over the years I’ve gotten stronger but have to rest longer between sets I think if you train like an old man you’ll become one also there are 20 year olds who can’t do 10 press ups or run a mile just depends on your physical and psychological make up i workout 4 [ 60 min] times per week and feel great, Respect from UK

I was doing overdoing hyperextensions, cat/cow and cobra poses for several years until 61. Had subluxed (partial dislocation) of L5/S1 five times in the last year without herniation. Got chiropractor to realign my lumbar spine a day after every time. He recommended I stop the hyperextensions and I haven't had an incident since. Still have the lumbar spine of a five year old with X-ray proof. He also said I had the biggest L5/S1 disc space he had ever seen.

The pec deck at my gym is always surrounded by teens and elderly folks so I gave the cable flies a shot and that did my left shoulder in. I can’t bench or shoulder press without crazy pain. The best advice if over 40 is to be easy on movements your body isn’t adjusted to. Obviously you want to change it up but work into the movement. Your muscles may be able to handle it but you have to consider your tendons and ligaments

If you have a brief stabbing pain in the middle of your lumbar spine stop everything and book a chiropractor ASAP and he will realign it. You have probably dislocated L5/S1. If you work through the pain or ignore it the next stabbing pain will be a disc herniation. So you've turned a level one injury into a level 1000 injury and may have to suffer for the rest of your life.

I'm all confused as to how so many men in gym's do heavy dumbell flys, while I grow huge chest with minimal weight with the dumbell fly, to the point I only do 1 (one) set a week of dumbell chest flys, yet others are on multiple sets with very very very heavy dumbells. What's going on

How does my split sound long term I personally enjoy it but should I rearrange the exercises if I'm noticing lower back fatigue
Monday: bench press, Yates rows, RDL'S
Wednesday: Zercher squats, close grip bench press, and pendlay rows
Friday: deadlifts, OHP, and chin ups

I agree with all but the dumbell flys. I know it's now trendy to bang on this exercise but I can tell a definite difference whenever I lay off doing flys for a time. All you have to do is not try to touch the floor with the dumbells and I doubt seriously you'd hurt anything.

As someone over 40 the exercises I say to stop doing is the flat bench press.
Flat bench press is a excellent mass gainer for the chest, but as you get older
That mass is hard to maintain and your chest will look flabby.
Switch to incline bench press.

Im just curious, Is the one guy that is making odd faces the entire time mentally challenged or something I don't know the correct PC term to use but the one guy is always normal and the other one makes faces the whole time.

I do believe that shrugs are way more effective if you don't do it with a straight arm but with a bent elbow when you pull. It's not cheating, it makes your traps contract more.

I've been doing behind the neck shoulder press for 25 years and I'm 45. There's zero reason to not do ANY of these. How old are y'all again

All your alternatives assume we have access to a fully equipped gym. They do not help those of us who do our training at home.

I really like videos like this. You can do the best exercises when you're young and keep doing them right when you become older.
