[@Cam____]

Thank you

[@petebarnesTaiChi]

Wow, I totally agree with your comments. I hurt my back in my early 20s and suffered most of my life. For the last 6 years, I've been exercising my back with Pilates and watching your videos. At 71, I'm finally mostly free from pain and my conclusion....... look after your back, bend your knees when lifting, and watch Bob & Brad 🤩

[@sylviavalenzuela7213]

age 17 I did bodybuilding, did all these exercises they mentioned and I had four misaligned vertebrates in my lower back and I had (still have) terrible shoulder pain. Lessons indeed.

[@appletree7376]

Do you still weight lift

[@giornogiovanna836]

You didn’t body build when you were a 17 year old girl lol

[@kwikcilva66]

This is very helpful advice, but it would be even more helpful if you had alternative exercises to reccomend as a substitute for the ones we shouldn't be doing. I'm 31 and this is great advice for aging well! Love your videos, keep up the good work.

[@helenlauer9545]

yeh, watching this makes me wonder what else I should do

[@TheMarshalMurat]

lesson learned; never move spine in any direction for any reason.

[@DihStyle69]

Kit Ockham stay still. DON'T MOVE!

[@kirkkennedylincoln]

so how do you stretch out sciatica? I was told to do spread eagle and I feel movement in my back while touching my toes, should I not do this?

[@kirkkennedylincoln]

Also, I am lifting for college football and do dead lifts as well. I feel like it is better than a squat and stay away from that. Should I be concerned about an achey lower back right around where my hips connect to my spine. I feel like my bad posture during class and studying alludes to this pain and shoudl be fixed if I correct it over time. Do you have any tips for this and for a college football player, because some lifts are nessecary for strength even if you dont use these muscles in a game or practice it can still help you strength in other respects, or am I wrong. Like how a military press will never be used on the field but can help with strength and explosion for someone blocking.

[@austinkunch710]

when Brad is demonstrating the exercises, his form is awful, especially the bent over rows, 90% of stress is on the bicep not on the lats n traps n whatnot. its clear that he doesnt know how to lift. And they want us to do quarter reps on the leg press? really? Athlean x is the only channel you need to know what to do n what not to do in the gym

[@bababushka7732]

John Shay Hahahaha

[@fatmah1409]

Since I started following this channel and applying your advices, I was able to centralize sciatica pain and my workouts are better than ever. I grew muscles pain-free and the progress is amazing!

[@BobandBrad]

Glad to hear that! Keep up the great work!

[@frankrizzo4778]

Just turned 50 and started getting in shape. Thanks guys. You just saved my back with your advice.

[@worthlessmutts9598]

there goes my whole 10 year routine.

[@morecharacterswithamix9067]

lol bruh

[@nafisfaiaz3993]

Same

[@maygraph4230]

😂😂😂😂

[@roseandrews619]

This is great physical therapy. These guys are terrific. I wish they would, however, address those of us who are older now, especially women, and go through our day with the activities we have to do. Using washer and dryer, going with food in and out of the oven, in the garden on our knees, up and down, pulling weeds.....so many..

[@monicaswavel6074]

wow! I think I did every one of those! I am adjusting my workouts immediately! thank you! I am 53 and I definitely want to take good care of my body which is the reason I make the effort of working out! God bless you guys!

[@M.K-SAVE]

I switch crunches for leg raises (hanging). Good morning with traditional deadlifts. Military press with dumbbell press. Barbell rows with machine rows. There are ways around things

[@tomthumb9839]

I am sorry I did these exercises. I'm 67 and paying the price. I now protect my body, especially my spine.

[@cherryketket]

I find that most of these are the ones that I instinctively stopped doing cause of the stress I felt while practicing them. I feel so validated somehow. Thank you for your videos. helping me a great deal. I've subscribed after watching only 1 of them.

[@17thwonder]

I used to be guilty on a couple of these exercises when I first started lifting but I eventually lost flexibility, was too stiff and too sore too often so I listened to my body and I'm thankful I did. Great video gentlemen.

[@christianhadiwijaya]

I am really grateful to found this video in my 30s. Now all I do are just basic movements like push up, pull up, and squats. Don't want to suffer when getting older! Thank you Bob and Brad!

[@WantedDeaDorAIive]

Solid advise. You guys did a good job pointing out risks and rewards to the deadlift, and tried to not make it biased.

[@luckysuzful]

What are some alternative weight lifting exercises that work the same muscle groups? Could you do a video about that?

[@alandun27]

Great video . . . BUT! there is always a darn but! Can you do the companion to this video - which is what to do to REPLACE these exercises if you're doing them. please! Alan, from Australia.

[@nancyzeller5513]

physicaltherapyvideo I told my Dr. about you two and it turns out your videos are prescribed to patients from many of the Doctors in her clinic. I just watched the ten exercises not to do, but what's the name of the video for the proper way to do the ten exercises? You said that you would be making one in a couple months. You guys are "The Best." If I have any issues with anything, except cooking I will find it on your website.

[@jessejohnston2014]

AthleanX Jeff Cavalier is a physiotherapist and certified trainer. Go check his videos out. He has alternate exercises and goes over all pain points, how to lift and train properly. Way higher caliber then these gentlemen.

[@NicholasLaDieu]

You could also get someone who actually knows how to execute these movements demonstrate proper form.

[@littlewhitepetals8790]

No way man, these guys got class (besides that dude looks anorexic!)

[@tbillyjoeroth]

Muscles like his and anorexic? You don't have a clue.

[@CG-rz2tl]

On bent over rows and straight leg dead lifts the bar rides up and down the front of your legs and never tracks away from the body. You bend at the knees and sit back in your heels and hips. If your form looks like theirs of course you will get hurt 👍

[@Grendelbc]

Oh brother... 1) Good Morning - You're rounding your lower back and keeping your knees straight. OF COURSE that's a problem. Learn to do it correctly. 2) Bent rows - why would anyone do them with stiff legs?? Bend your knees and keep your back arched. I've been doing them like that for damn near 50 years. Was using over 400lbs not too many years ago. My low back still feels great. 3) Military press - works more than just your shoulders. Whole core gets a workout keeping your body straight. Do them properly and keep elbows more forward and not out to sides. 4) Stiff legged deadlifts - the name is misleading. Proper form requires some bend in the knees and the same chest up, shoulder back technique used for any DL. Alan Thrall has a good video on this. 5) Squat - true. You don't want to round your lower back BUT there are many variations of the squat - back (high or low bar) and front. You can remain much more upright doing a high bar back squat or a front squat, minimizing butt wink IF you are flexible enough. The degree of rounding makes a big difference.

[@StarsetFlight]

Yeah I thought the military press one seemed like they were reaching. Behind the head is shit on the shoulders, but it's pretty difficult to injure yourself doing a basic military press.

[@channel1channel139]

Thank you so much for all your great videos! :) for this particular video, it would also be really great to show *safer alternatives* to these exercises - especially shoulder ones

[@RicardoGonzalez-tr7mx]

I understand the bad posture in exercises I'm 23 and an army veteran I still feel lower back pain because of bent over rows as well as shoulder pain from military presses I appreciate the content you guys provide I would like for your advice on safe superior alternatives to some of these exercises

[@vinnydakid123]

True, this video would be much better with alternative exercises directly given. And as a young physical therapist I don't agree on every statement but still a good video.

[@JohnM...]

Ricardo Gonzalez military press alternative = landmine press. Bent over row alternative = seal press, or dumbell rows.

[@marshwetland3808]

At least the incline bench was given for the bent over rowing. But the dumbell press, especially at a more natural angle, could have replaced the barbell presses. I recommend Jeff Cavaliere for good exercise vids, since he is also a PT as well as a trainer.

[@ebateru]

Ricardo Gonzalez I always thought that army people call the military press simply the press.

[@SirPreatto]

appreciate EVERY video.. I'm searching for any relief and you guys are golden!!! after my back "went out" at 30, and then at 33, they diagnosed me with arthritis...I knew it wasn't because it wasn't my muscles but more of an uncomfortable nerve pain. Well, my MRI showed 4 dark compressed disc with the middle two bulging... Eureka!! I'm approaching 36, the Dr. doesn't suggest surgery, so I'm trying to reverse this condition and manage the pain

[@archanabiranje1649]

Hi how are you trting to reverse it...im 29 and im have sever pain in d lumbar region.... tge docs say if i dont rake care it may lead to spondylosis and disc problems.

[@CraigHocker]

The solution for upright rows is to do them with dumbbells instead so your hands can be rotated (pinkies lower) to prevent impingement.

[@CortneyLyn09]

The form on the RDL (straight/stiff leg deadlift) was nowhere near how people should be doing it though. And the legs aren't actually stiff, they're slightly bent (about 30 deg) to just below the knee with hip hinge and bar close to you. Hip hinge is a great thing to teach as well. Love your videos but when performed right, they're a great exercise. :) I am also a physical therapist just not famous!! Lol or nearly as experienced.

[@matthewhoffman3911]

Squat deep, squat heavy, squat often.

[@josefpdx]

Thanks for sharing! As an avid bodybuilder I always want to thing about longevity and what the science says. I appreciate videos like these.

[@mebeese]

How much pressure is on the discs when you cough or sneeze? Should I avoid that too?

[@StarsetFlight]

Gotta say that I highly disagree with the military press risks. The shoulders may be "small" compared to the rest of your body, but the back is going to inevitably help the weight move. I have very stiff shoulder joints and I've never felt a bit of pain or stress from heavy shoulder workouts.

[@MagnusStormfist]

1) Toe touches, bad because it puts stress on your back due it it being rounded. 2) Good mornings. 3)Full sit ups especially coming up completely to the knees. 4) Leaning on the treadmill while using it, keep good posture while doing it. 5) Stiff legged bent over rows. 6) Behind the neck shoulder press, and shoulder press. 7) RDLs/stiff legged deadlifts. 8) Full depth squats with the butt wink. 9) Leg press, do not go too deep, going deep good for muscles but bad for the joints. 10) Upright rows causing shoulder impingement.

[@MotherCoconuts811]

I recently got back into lifting weights and was doing a lot of dead lifts and super deep squats and now my lower back has hurt for two weeks. This video has been extremely helpful :)

[@annkaren74]

What can we do?

[@treat91]

people that are injured or have pain will agree on this but others that never felt pain will disagree for me i will believe anything so that i put a smile on my face daily since i couldnt for many years because of pain.

[@MoutonNoir86]

Thank you for the informative video. For these types of 'avoid doing this' videos in future, it would be great if you could show a safer alternative. i.e. what is less risky than sit-ups or shoulder press?

[@ETBrooD]

For sit-ups: crunches For shoulder press: dumbbell shoulder press

[@mikegonz1643]

So it sounds like most of the exercises CAN be done but to always bend your knees; keep your spine neutral; don't use excessive weight for the smaller muscle groups; and don't go for complete range of motion. Is this correct? Just changing these small details will fix the hazard problem? Or these exercises should not be done at all, in any form?

[@transamrulesrice]

Every workout position that you guys said not to do I was doing in my early twenties. as I lay in bed in severe pain. herniated l4, l5 when I was 23. I'm 30 now and wishing videos this informative were so easily accessible back then. gosh I was so dumb. I'm not even old yet and falling apart.

[@HELL0NESSA]

I keep coming back for the theme song alone. Lol I love it.

[@micahyazzie1348]

I'm turning 40 next year. So I'm subscribing.

[@MeadeSkeltonMusic]

Micah Yazzie its not a big deal.

[@dipper0yawn]

Shoulder presses is what helped me with my impingement. They don't have to be heavy but good form is essential to make it work.

[@beautyonthebeachfl445]

The leg press.... that's how I think my knees started hurting.... thanks guys you are awesome

[@thedudeabides2531]

Wow. This rules out a whole lot of exercises with dumbbells to strengthen your back and legs.

[@christywright5439]

No wonder my spine is in the state its in. Thanks Jane Fonda for the aerobic exercise videos in the eighties! Our aerobics teachers still follow these exercises blindly to this day.

[@brennanlundgren]

7:23 most important words. Supraspinatus tendon impingment And i liked hearing about end range

[@MaximilianBerkmann]

It would have been nice to see the alternatives you suggest.

[@bethevoice-thelifeofsteve6354]

I have been lifting weights for 40 years . Fortunately I have never had a day when my training day was stopped due to injury and I train everyday . BUT , I am now 55 and I am beginning to lower my weights in order to extend my physical abilities into older age . I do feel my back now and have to ensure I am stretching and all the rest of it . We have to adapt for longevity otherwise longevity will come with movement preventing disability . It is hard to accept that I now have to adjust my training but reality is reality . Great vids .

[@nuthinbutlove]

My trainer taught me to lay on an incline board holding a 25lb weight plate on my chest and do situps. Did wonders for my ab and back muscles at the time but I'm paying for it now. He also taught everything else you mentioned in this video and a lot more that I'm paying for. Every trainer who worked for that company taught the same for decades. No one seemed to know a better way to get in shape back then.

[@jestertrey3820]

Sounds like we can't do anything . Dead lift, squats and shoulder press are basic excersizes .. Could you show us what to replace them with ?

[@RC-hv1yx]

Exactly. It's like wtf are you supposed to do in the gym then?

[@tbillyjoeroth]

THEY DON'T RESPOND!

[@kaptajnklo5341]

Just to clarify straight legged dead lift is what they are recommending against, not dead lift entirely. Squats that go into end-range is what they are recommending against, not squats entirely.

[@ramonmaduena958]

Shoulder press can be replaced by dumbbells shoulder press.

[@Michael-cb5nm]

Ramon Maduena that would still cause impingement by their lights. I suppose the would not recommend any overhead movements.

[@saileshbabut9696]

You are right, Compromising Joint health for full range of Motion is not a good Deal. We can benefit from Half reps without compromising Joint Health. use medium weights for long life of Joint Health.

[@rustyshackleford6092]

Man, I think we did about every one of these exercises/lifts in my CrossFit class. A year and a half later I quit when my left shoulder was shot. Hoping to heal up now but need to find a better (ideally body weight) long-term workout system. Thank you for taking time to create and post these videos, gentlemen.

[@kuladeeluxe]

thanks

[@daltexasone]

You guys are great and so correct. I'm almost 53 and worked out all my life and have dealt with major back issues for about 13 years. You guys confirm so much that I have learned the hard way. Wish I would have seen your videos 20 years ago. Keep up the good work!

[@GuitarGrrrella]

Can you show us alternatives to these? For example, is it okay to do sit ups with your feet lifted up and resting on a stool in front of you? I'd always thought that made sit ups safer.

[@ellenspear50]

So, BodyPump(TM) -- yes or no? I'm in my 60s and still do it (though I have a sore shoulder that limits what I can do). I've been doing Pump for years, and have taken on all the safety tips given in class. The bent over row demonstrated here is different from what we do with a big weight. In BodyPump, we keep the bar close to our thighs so that it slides down the legs. The row is likewise up the thighs to the stomach and back down, with arms close to your sides, or occasionally turned out to the sides in a wide row.

[@Ogun59]

thank you! could you possibly do a follow up video showing alternatives

[@rwdchannel2901]

There's a doctor who appears to be in his 60's that does a KZbin channel called GreySteelFitness. He was claiming that shoulder pressing overhead is good for the shoulder joints. Then he claimed that anyone who doesn't agree with him is delusional or uneducated. I think I'll listen to Bob and Brad on this one seeing they've worked with plenty of injured people too. I generally do lateral raises and an isometric shoulder press which seems to help strengthen my shoulders enough to avoid injury.

[@BCBRENDA]

I have had back problems for several years and I just ran across your videos a few days ago. Your videos have been so helpful. I'm sharing them with everyone I know. Keep up the good work!

[@RashedHiyasat]

thank you so much guys, i have started a strength program that has a lot of the movements you talked about, and i dont care about muscle i just want a fun program that keeps my muscles healthy, so i will definitely stop and try to find a better program. thanks again!

[@myrnadelossantos1888]

True. I am 69 and had worked out for quite some time. I did dead lift, ´overhead ´ifts etc. Now, my shoulder hurts.

[@enclave2k1]

"Good Mornings? Good grief; Good Riddance!" Thanks for the laugh. 👍

[@ianwoollard2063]

It's interesting to hear about the exercises that can cause shoulder problems as I'm experiencing the beginnings of these at the moment and it's how I found your channel. The upright rows really are a worry and for more than just the shoulders. I'm ok with the front military press but the rear ones are bad news. At my gym I'm seeing a lot of people injured doing cross fit. Knees,shoulders and back seem to be the most common. I'm into weights and I think my problems are from overuse and to many sets. I'm mindful of not going to heavy but tend to compensate with extra sets and higher reps. I love it but maybe I'm loving it too much. You've given me something to consider and I'm going to reevaluate my workouts.

[@Fatihsubasilar]

I recommend that this video is carefully watched by anyone who goes to the gym and does weight training. A very useful video. It will contribute to correcting many mistakes that are known correctly.

[@TB-cy1wt]

Very good advice! At 62 y.o I had a physiatrist prescribe deadlifts to strengthen my hip area due to severe hip arthritis. The movement irritated my lower back and then I found out on your channel that people with osteoporosis should not even attempt this exercise!! I immediately stopped. I am on Reclast for severe OP. What was this doctor thinking? Trying to self-educate so as to not cause injury. Thank you for your informative videos.

[@fitoldster8945]

[@davidmmaenthusiast4132]

Just saw this, and I'm also a Physical Therapist. I do agree with impact of lumbar flexion impacting spine health if unbalanced. Any lumbar flexion should be done safely, and yes most first protrusion are posterior lateral in direct relation to the direction to flexion of the spine. Neutral spine should always be emphasized to stabilize the spine with strengthening. Here's why I disagree, a lack of functional lumbar extension in relation to flexion during exercises and daily activity is a reason for injuries. Most daily activities involve lumbar flexion, like sit to stand, laying supine in bed on a soft surface, or reaching forward in a chair. More lumbar and thoracic extension will improve overall health of the spine. Our spine was meant for both directions of movement, but it should be balanced. Anytime limit one direction, you are at risk for injury in the long run. More extension should be implemented. Yes, there are sometimes reasons you cannot overcome with extension, like stenosis which normally results in reduced pain with flexion, or fusion. Many other reasons why, but just my thoughts. Fyi, love your channel.

[@TheMightySandow]

Ok, to summarize: do not lift weights in any way shape of form. Especially not the most beneficial ones like squats and heavy presses. This said by a man with no flexibility who can´t do one full squat. Although presses behind the head and standing rows should be avoided, this is true.Weight lifting and strenght training, when done correctly, is very safe and PREVENTS injury. Being weak and overweight guarantees joint issues and pain especially in an old age.

[@fabiancaius]

yes

What is the best way to carry a shoulder bag without hurting my neck and shoulder. I used to carry a backpack but i stopped since i ended up with a lingering shoulder & neck pain.

[@MrZeke701]

Hi Guys! Thanks!

[@soppaism]

To put it in a nutshell, you can either listen to what they said here (it's all golden), or you can blame yourself later (like I do). Good luck.

[@skyejacques]

💖💪🏽

[@nickkraw1]

The in front of head overhead press impingement can be avoided by shrugging the trapezius maximally at the top of the lift, and my slightly externally rotating the shoulders and bring the elbows forward on the decent, reverse, ie slight internal rotation on the ascent.

[@Rainbowdrawz9]

good video. however the first exercise you told for hamstring stretches or toe touch, we in India do that regularly as a part of Yoga. its the 3rd pose in surya namaskar. Old people also do that but no one gets hurt. not anyone that I have known ever. quite confusing

[@stasacab]

Great, got them all.

[@yotuttle]

Were you saying lat pulldowns are bad when you were talking about the bar in front? Are pull ups bad or hanging from bars bad? I have shoulder pain. But I don't usually have pain doing those excercises. Thanks guys!!

[@1tribble]

GoodLife Fitness needs to run their BodyPump class plan through you guys first… most of the exercises you showed are a staple in their program, which is why I’m currently spending money at a chiropractor.

[@SoulRollerFIN]

I agree with everything demonstrated. Do not do the movements incorrectly, like these guys are showing it. Seek a professional (qualified personal trainer or better yet a weightlifting coach) to help with your lift mechanics. All of the movements are good for you, if you do them right. Start with low weight, build up to bigger ones. Lifting with good form is not bad for your back, knees or shoulders. It has been scientifically proven many times over.

[@SoulRollerFIN]

Walking on the treadmill.... why would you use a treadmill anyway? Go out and enjoy the fresh air! And hold a good posture as you are walking.

[@JoshuaPatrickGarrett]

Could have mentioned supinated pull-up grip as an alternative to conventional lat pull-downs.

[@lokhistormborn4165]

What about "the greatest stretch" (lunge, hands near the front foot, turning the torso left n right leading with the front arm)

[@1SeniSeviyorum5]

Funny stuff, all of those excercises are part of hammer thrower training program.. well maybe that is the reason why I am now in hospital because of tear injury on my back.. and also some kind of posterior central disc protrusion.. Thanks for the video!:)

[@barbaraforbes6753]

Youth is wasted on foolishness.

[@sams7025]

i literally always stretch like that before figure skating so explains why i get sore all the time...

[@lovedeepsandhu8502]

Many of those exercises are so basic though. If a training program doesnt have them, its weird. Shoulder press, squats, deadlifts are so common. They didnt even provide an alternative. Like wtf am i meant to do for my low back muscles then if i cant deadlift. I like these guys videos for what to do at home and whatnot but when it comes to the gym they seem like the guys who thing everything is bad. I am going back to watching a better physical therapist called athlean x. Would recommend him to you as well regarding injuries and all

I wish my Health/Gym class in High School is taught like this. It would so much more interesting and informative.

[@isabelstrid1045]

Great video! Good things to know. I know I'm late but I'm new here. I think what I'm missing from this is a demonstration of the correct way or an alternative way to do these exercises. Or perhaps linking the videos for the topics you have already covered in the description box for easy reference. Thank you both! I'm learning a lot.

[@Jefff72]

Ref: 7:00 min. I hurt my rotator cuff over 20 years ago with a shoulder exercise. But my mistake came at the end when I was setting down the weight. Instead of holding the weight close to me and setting it down, I reached out. Then I felt the burn in at my rotator cuff. My workout was over and that took me many years to get over.

[@lornasyred7790]

I'd be really interested in your opinion on popular Western Yoga Practice: for example, chaturangha and downward/ upward dog and some inversions. Is it helping us keep agile and mobile for longer, or is it storing up disc, joint and impingement problems for later? Any chance you could research and do a video?

[@janetbaalham7286]

Do have had a replacement knee 1 year ago and l have spinal stenosis so your exercising has been a big help so a big thank you

[@francoisebeliveau1384]

For abdominals, one of the exercise we do in my classes is keeping a position (sitting on the floor) like the letter "V", much more opened though. Yes, its hard on the back but I have much stronger abdominals now. In fact, in my classes. I do almost every exercises you mentioned in your video....I am 61 years old and I want to stay fit but now, I do not know what to do. I used a lot of your exercises for different pain I had (impingement syndrome and others). And yes, I have shoulder and back and neck pain sometimes...I always thought it's because I use too heavy weights. I'm lost here...ALL the people where I take these classes are "trained" ...!!!! By the way, in yoga classes, we always bend our body and therefore stretch our lower back. Is that bad???

[@sterbprepper4798]

you guys are awesome for people that lift. getting tips from lifters and your guys tips really ties well and gives a medical perspective

[@phague85]

I would love to see this with the proper alternative exercise right along with the improper

[@premavichal1]

Prem Hi your video is true and correct in my opinion. My back went out last year with MRI showing L 4 L 5 buldge and degeneration. The 20 year of squat deadlift and bent over row exercise being responsible for it in my opinion. Great video to educate all lifter because once your disc is herniated you cannot lift anything. Still I am not able to do gym regularly and prefer only to walk. Great to educate as wrong information prevails in gym.

[@giornogiovanna836]

They’re seriously saying squat and military press are bad for you.

[@get1558]

Thank you so much !

overhead press aka shoulder press is the most safest way of training you shoulders.. You can even use that exercise to cure you shoulder pain.. I cured mine by doing more overhead press. And i added a shrug to it at the end.. Which felt really good.. That is bad advice.. If you have shoulder problems.. Try stop benching for a couple of weeks. And do overhead press instead,,, and then tell me how your shoulders feels after that.. And the beauty about overhead press is that you can get stronger at the bench without even benching just do overhead press, for like a month. And then you will see that your shoulder pain should be alot less and you will be stronger at the bench too. Doing lateral raise won't do anything for you shoulders.. You need to overload it with weight. That is were the overhead press comes in. I do agree with behind the neck press.. If you get pain from the overhead press then you should proabably do more connective tissue work.

Again if you're feeling pain in a shoulder press it'd be best if you do mobility and priming movements until you fix your rolled shoulder.

Upright rows need to be a wider grip and a shorter range of motion.
