As a man in his 60s. I wish I watched this video on my 40s. By doing overhead work on my shoulders. My shoulders are now a mess. I made some great games using heavyweight and extending my arms to all kinds of word angles. Short-term games, can lead to a lifetime of pain. Younger folks be advised.

Super videos and excellent presentation with a calming voice. I am glad i found you. I am 61 and healthy. I was doing some push ups (started with 15x2, then 20x3 then increased to 20x5= 100) and now feeling mild pain on my shoulders and upper back. So i stopped doing excercise fearing injury.. Can i start again with this exercise ? I want to start again . will you spare a moment for me pls? I dont have any issues, but only mild pain on right shoulder and upper back.

Is it harmful to do these exercises while having a moderate shoulder joint arthrosis? My shoulder is not painful yet but it's quite damaged by arthrosis.

[taariqq]

Can we really do these "daily" ?!

[vanesagodlova]

my weights are 2kg on one hand and lateral raise is too difficult for me. Is this because i’m underweight ? 45kg 16yr old girl 5’3
