Gary, Thank you! I will be 61 in june 2024, and haven't been to a gym in many years. I was overweight, and out of shape. I started keto diet, lost a lot of weight, but lost muscle as well as fat. I had an injury, Doctor convinced me to go to the gym. Your videos , explaining how and what to do have been instrumental in my recovery! I recommend you all the time! I feel so much younger, and look so much better. Watching the technique is instrumental in me avoiding further injury and achieving better success than I ever thought was possible at my age! The old folks home has to wait, I'm still living life! Thank you!!

I haven't been able to work my arms for about a year. I tore something in my right hand and haven't been able to get it fixed because I have to take care of my wife, who's been a paraplegic for the last 15 months. She's finally recovered enough that she can go to the pool to rebuild some of the lower body strength that she's lost, which gives me time to go to the gym. I bought some really good wrist wraps that I'm _hoping_ will support my wrist enough to at least work out somewhat. Golden years my ass. 🤣

Hey Gary, thanks for tips and thorough explanation. I’m 61 and just starting to get back into working out after being off too many years after some injuries and consequently forced to take time off. I struggled to get into a regular routine again. Now I realize, it’s now or never!

Gary, I'm 64, been working out for about 1 year. Have lost abut 40 lbs. From over 260 to 225, seemed to have stopped losing? I use resistant bands, but dumbbells for biceps. Xbody pronated grip curls to target the brachialis. However, my brachioradialis has become so sore I can't even lift, has limited many of my lifts, having to take a break. How can I target the brachialis without hurting my forearms?

What can you recommend for recovery. I can and do keep a strict lifting schedule but I don't recover well even with eating proper macros.

I do 5x5 3x a week. I’m not necessarily doing the progressive overload but I do increase the weight over time. Could I just add in 2 days a week with just arm focus and see results? I’m a 51 year old martial artist. Love your content👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

At 5:35 he starts talking about time under tension. You’ll notice it’s hard to remember to pause for 2 seconds at full contraction and lower the weight for 3 sec.

When prioritizing arms what's a sufficient set range per week for maintenance for the other muscle groups?

Concentrating on the contracted position wastes time, energy, and neural muscular capacity! Current research shows that concentrating on a loaded stretched position provides greater hypertrophic stimulus while the contracted position adds only extra fatigue with no added stimulus! The advice you are giving here not only is not supported by current research, but it is also going to hold people back by having them do things that are unnecessarily fatiguing while providing no added stimulus to grow! That is why you see so many of the people with the BIGGEST arms doing mostly what many consider partial reps, never getting to the fully contracted position on most if not all of the movements that they do! Look at how Jay Cuttler performs most movements for example! These people figured out years ago that Lenghted Partials were more stimulating to growth long before the research was done that confirmed it!

i would never sacrifice my back or shoulders for biceps, if i do those exercises as compound movements, they will hit biceps just like i never saw a gymnast doing biceps curls so i disagree with your approach, never miss compound excercizes if you are over 40, some isolation bicep work will get the job done instead of sacrficing big movements!

Time under tension; is the key. The longer the better, especially the eccentric phase. Watching the tricep demo; lying supine, the barbell wasn't let down completely to stretch the triceps effectively. Plus, the speed of the reps is not matching the advice given. Just sayin'.
