Was called too old at 50! Started training in garage lifting rocks and doing brutal bodyweight exercises..got ripped af at 53!!!

[absolutemotivation]

My advice to people who are above 40 is use your body weight and do a lot more lower body exercises.. Like squats, kettle bell swings, lungs, deadlifts and some running.. Stay fit and stay healthy

[myfriend]

I’m over 40. Forget all the macho bravado you’ve ever heard or believed. Do this. It works. Strictly machines. Light weight, high reps. Increase weight as needed but 12-15 reps. As 12-15 reps gets easier increase weight accordingly. But always hitting 12-15 reps. Hit the major muscle groups and you’re good. That’s all you need.

I’m 63, have had several injuries during my 20 years in the military. I still do heavy squats & deadlifts but had to replace bench press with push ups & dumbbells. Biggest issue with getting older is recovery. Listen to your body.

[dlads]

Few issues with this...

1st is not every 40 year old is made equal, the best advice you can give an over 40 is better nutrition, a health check and then the gym if it's not detrimental.

2nd Jumping in with dead lifts, squats and pull ups is a sure fire way to injure your back as well as brachioradialis, brachi, biceps, shoulders.

3rd if you're 40 as I am, then the top tip for someone who's not a gym head is to go light, find your limits and perform a couple of warm up sets for each exercise, get a spotter and consult your doctor as well as advice from a PT who actually knows what they're talking about.

Rest and recovery, you're over 40 you need to recover more than the average 20 year old so your gym days should have rest days between them..

Day on day off works perfectly for this depending on your goals.

Bottom line with workouts is there is no one size fits all, everyone has weaknesses and strengths, find yours and work on them both..

Lastly, when you get older you've got a tonne of bad habits and these filter down to your body posture and composition, you may be deficient in certain vitamins or may need to supplement certain things as well as corrective exercises for your rotator cuff, nerd neck, duck ass, hunched shoulder's and spinal straightening.

Get a blood test and health check to see where you stand, make sure testosterone levels are included.

Finally there is no super video on YouTube or anywhere else that can fix you, it's a lot of trial and error and having a go, it's hard work and you're going to get some things wrong, the idea is to set realistic goals and tick them off on your way to your ultimate goal, no one knows everything snd everyone is still learning, if you don't know something then ask and find out..

8 exercises ? 😂 catchy video title but im afraid it's bullshit..

[baris_c]

I am 47 and working out 4 times a week combined with swimming...

I quit doing squats and deadlifts with barbells tbh... Because after a certain age the injury recovery is much worse than anything else... Working out with the machines are much safer, at the end of the day the aim is to keep the muscle density, strength and long lasting joints

[remydrummen]

Never did weight training, just body weight. Thaiboxing, snow and wakeboarding, surfing and running. So hell of a core. Yoga is what I do daily, I am much more flexible as in my 20s, that range and ease of moving makes me feel young. Will explore this to. Thnx for the video. (42)

[drdave]

I am 58 y/o and always do heavy basic functional lifting, IE squats, Bent over Rows, Deadlifts, Clean and Press, KEttlebell Swing, push-ups, pull ups, tire flipping, and sledge hammer swings, , and you really shoukd do sprints for cardio afterward not walking, sprints build muscle and increase our VO2 which will translate into higher explosive power and endurance .
And end everything with heavy single handed farmers walks
You will increase your longevity and build muscle and prevent frailty . You will have your increase your protein intake also and drop your insulin levels ie low low carbs .
You can thank me later
Go get it 👍🏼

[iwanbastian]

lifting
benc press
pull up
dumble rows

[richardjones]

Wait a minute! For lunges, rest 12 minutes between sets? 48 minutes for four sets? This can’t be right

[carnivalgods]

Good stuff. As alluded to by some of the comments. As you age your workouts tend to evolve over time. Used to be squat, deadlift, standing presses and bent rows until 40. Now its mostly pushups, pullups, jump squats, lunges and burpees at the local park. Throw in occasional hill runs backwards, forwards. Couple of earnest times a week is plenty for me at 52.

[Lokigibus]

Lol Muscle monsters said "stop doing deadlifts after 40", that's the beauty of internet, you can't get 10 contradictory opinion in one day

[Tempeck]

- Squats: For lower body and core
- Deadlifts: Targeting the posterior chain
- Bench Press: For upper body strength
- Pull-ups: For back, shoulders, and biceps
- Dumbbell Rows: Focusing on upper back and biceps
- Lunges: For leg strength and balance
- Planks: As a bonus exercise for core strength

[pauljones]

The hack squat works better for me than the over head squat. It makes my chest feel open and free, an I shrug back and down at the top, using the rhomboid muscles....the exercise protocol here is for those in their late teens and twenties, the stupid years.
Work thru the routine, one set, don't count, feel when you want to stop, double back on an exercise later if you want. Most people try to lift too much weight. Symmetry. Avoid the delusion of 'Big & Strong (and therefore heroic.')

[tweetalig]

I would only add hanging leg levers instead of planks for the abs. This exercise increased my abdominal strength rapidly in my twenties. And now into my late 40's, I can still do them easily. I perform 25-45 push-ups daily and do a minimum of 20 pull-ups. And life 3 times per week. I mix KB's and free weights. Functional lifting and calisthenics have worked well for me for over 20 years. Cheers OGs!

Men at any age, especially 40+, be very careful with deadlifts. I started with 1 herniated disc, that quickly increased to 4, and another one with a tear. I am only 43 and every day life is a challenge, let alone trying to work out. The rest of the video seems like good advice. But over 40, be careful with everything, you are not in your youth. Good luck, stay as healthy as you can!
