[@vtmegrad98]

Watching the dude in blue effortlessly doing pullups at 7:49 is the first time I found myself actively resenting him. It's not that he does them so fluidly. It's that he's so freaking big, and doing them that fluidly. If anyone needs me, i'll be upstairs doing band-assisted pullups...with far thicker bands than I'd like to admit.

[@karlhungus545]

I just turned 50, and I already do all of these with my home setup. I switched to hex bar deadlifts years ago as they are way easier on the back and knees, but just as challenging. I also switched to a low incline bench press (20 degrees) years ago as it is a lot easier on my shoulders. You don't realize when you're in your 20s how much wear and tear you're doing...seems like 2 weeks ago, but it's been 30 years 😁

[@ScottHendrix-yz3du]

@@doctorartphd6463 Yeah of course mild to moderate strength training but more importantly cardio for long term health but think it out. If we live our full life expectancy we will be old longer than young. At 40 or 50 already having joint pain isn't good. See those guys in the gym year after year lifting all that weight, eyes bulging, veins bulging,,, the heart is the muscle under every single pound of weight we lift. Packing on another 20 lbs of muscle also makes the heart work harder daily. We are born with a pre determined amount of heart beats so pushing it to hard just uses up your heart valves quicker while heavy or over lifting wears down joints leading to arthritis much younger.

[@shug2795]

Love this video. My only concern especially for someone my age (69) is the speed at which your model performs the 5 exercises. Time under tension allows us to reduce the over-all weight while maximizing the return on investment, regardless of your age. I am going to hybridize your 5 salient exercises into a TUT program that will provide an even wider spectrum of muscles with an extended time under tension. The tell-tale signs are "feeling the burn" (tingling) for an extended period of time AFTER your workout, even while using lighter weights! Thank you for a GREAT program enhancement!

Hey hope you are doing well. My relative, older than you, is going to get such treatment in 2 days... Issue is it will be impossible to get him in a gym. Any recommendation on good accessible exercice that can be done at home?

[@cookingclips4901]

Great point on exercise 4 dumbbell bench press. I had bicep and supraspinatus tendonitis and did normal bench presses and pull ups on a bar and lateral dumbbell raises without rotating inwards and i would go to therapy and nothing helped. The pain would get worse with time. I finally changed and from barbel bench press i went to dumbbell bench press, giving me more flexibility in my shoulder movement. I eliminated the pull ups as they would cause me pain in my supraspinatus and focused on cable lateral raise and the pain has gone away slowly while still maintaining my strength and physique. The point is eliminate any barbell lifting as you cannot adjust your rotation of your arms when lifting as its locked in on the bar limiting your movement which leads to shoulder pain.

[@ianonufer6988]

Trap bar deadlift is where it is at. Does not break my spine. Really lets me drive hard with my heals

I’m 51 years old and been going to the gym since December 2022 and been going twice a week since then. And I have been doing some of these exercises in the video but now I will more moves since seeing this video. And I like how you explain how the moves work on each muscle 👍💪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@pqlr8763]

My 2 cents: Low incline *reverse-grip* dumbbell press for upper chest. The reverse grip + a twisting motion as you lock out, to be more precise. This gave me a far bigger pump than the regular grip version. You will have to use slightly lower weights and higher reps. But it's SO worth it.

[@user-pf5xq3lq8i]

Please show us what you mean.

[@stefanschleps8758]

Not all of us have cables to work with. However, we all do have dumb bells. Instead of using cables, you can just lower the weight slowly. That keeps the muscle under tension. In fact you should always be emphasizing the eccentric portion of an exercise. Keep clearly defined goals in mind for your training for better results. Good luck!

[@user-pf5xq3lq8i]

[@oldsingingstudentdougbillf1665]

I added each of these exercises into my regular routine. For whatever muscle an exercise pertains it will be done first. With the trap bar…I have also decided to use it vs regular deadlift. Although I do not have any back problems…I am 68 (soon) and I don’t want any back discomfort in my future! But…I will continue to do full squats because I want to reach my plateau…for an old guy.

[@tarkgundogdu8940]

For me, they are: 1. incline press (can be divided into chest press + shoulder press) 2. chin up 3. cable lateral raise 4. seated row 5. leg curl 6. reverse leg curl 7. ez bar biceps curl (to overload the biceps) 8. reverse pec deck so max 9 exercises for a jacked look. You can divided them into 2 groups as push & pull exercises and do them on different days to overload.

[@TashameAli]

Here's mine with free weights, as we don't all have cable machines at home do we. 1: overhead press 2: bent over rows 3: dead lifts 4: bench press (or push ups, if you have no bench) 5: dumbbell curls 6: pull ups

[@williamharris6217]

Well organised, excellent presenter articulation, and good use of supporting research.

My picks before watching this video: Leg presses, bent over rows, lying dumbbell press, standing single hand dumbbell shoulder press, triceps pushdowns, curls with 2" grip. Do what doesn't hurt and focus on the form rather than the resistance. I do others, but if I only had 5, these are my choices.

[@cobbler88]

@@geno5169 Keep in mind that there are three ways to increase your load. You can lift heavier, do more reps, or do a set number of reps slowly. That last one is the one I subscribe to. I generally do the concentric part of the movement at normal or half speed, then slow down the eccentric part. For example, with a bench press, you count 1 when you press it up, then lower it over 3 to 5 counts. I've felt much better results doing 18, 6-count reps than doing 54, 2-count reps and you tend to get in and out of the gym more quickly. The math is kind of the same but with less rest between sets, etc., you tend to hit what you want then more quickly move to the next thing. The reason you slow down the eccentric part is more easily seen when applying the same principle to a bicep curl. It's just much easier to LOWER the dumb bell slowly than it is to RAISE it slowly. You're still increasing your time under tension. Take care.

[@cobbler88]

I would only add to do the lat pull downs with handles rather than the bar. It allows you to follow the natural plane (shoulders angled slightly forward) that your body wants your arms to travel. With a bar, your head is in the way so the arms end up more forward, traveling a slightly less desirable plane. That, and the ridiculous rocking that almost requires, which cheats the area you're trying to target. Speaking of which, I've found it much more effective to do these pull downs using only your fingers on the handles. Once you wrap your thumb around, you've recruited your forearms into the movement, again detracting from hitting the target area as best as possible.

[@user-pf5xq3lq8i]

Rookie question from a 40+ yo, but how many sets and reps do you recommend on each exercise for hypertrophy growth? 💪

[@llamabahama4654]

I'd bet if you search that, there's some decent guidelines out there to help get you in the right area of what to expect or should be doing for hypertrophy. Pat McNamara might be another good resource for this.

[@iowamandolinanddobro7376]

When you are wearing an average shirt (short sleeve T-shirt or work shirt) what is the only upper body part visible to others (besides your head and neck)? Your forearms. Big, veiny forearms make you look powerful. Some people can get enough stimulation from back work to grow decent forearms. If you are not one of those (and I'm not) direct forearm work is necessary. To achieve this, I would recommend arm wrestling exercises. As a life long exerciser, at 50 I decided to incorporate arm wrestling training to spice things up. It's fun, and will blow up your forearms.

[@cobbler88]

If you're wearing a short-sleeved shirt the way it's intended to be worn, your biceps and triceps show as well. There are a few Popeye groupies out there, but there's a certain level of forearm development that appears to be kind of a turn-off to women. I'm male, but I recognize that big forearms won't do you any good if they outsize the rest of the arm.

I do these and have seen pretty good results: 1. Assisted Pull Ups (I mean the machine , not pull ups where a friend is holding your legs lol) 2. Incline Machine Chest Press 3. Cable Bicep Curls 4. Cable Tricep Pushdowns 5. Cable Side Lateral Raises And I know this is cheating but 6 exercises is fine: 6. Crunches I do these every other day. All the exercises. 4 sets of 8-12 reps where the last couple reps are really really hard(so choose weight accordingly). Don't have to go totally to failure but you should feel like you're really trying. Also for crunches just do them close to failure(don't count reps). Also once you have a good upper body just incorporate reverse lunges(ladies love Captain America's Ass seemingly lol) and leg presses occasionally while maintaining the upper body with slightly lower volume. So initially ignore legs and build decent upper body. Then maintain upper body and train legs too. The reason I say this is because once you have a nice upper body you'll feel better and then working on legs is just like some small bonus points for looking even better. Training legs is very fatiguing tbh but obviously still necessary and more important for purposes other than just looking sexy lol Please let me know if you think I should add something. Definitely open to feedback

This video is about basic knowledge about training muscles. Once you learn muscle fibers' directions from their origin to their insertion, you will know the proper movement of the exercise. The internet is an excellent source for learning. There are numerous websites for this information. You will learn to determine what exercises are best for your training goals.
