Upper Body Push/Pull Workout (Training Tips for Older Guys)

[@AmbitiousAthletics]

Love the old Renegade gym stories. Crook is the man! More long form like this, Jay. Great video!!!!

[@JasonFerruggia]

Thanks bro!

[@jnprather]

Love it. Forgot how much I missed the Ferruggia content in my life.

[@JasonFerruggia]

Thank you.

[@mskerr187]

Awesome stuff. Mark should know that for the guys who came after him, HE was the beast.

[@JasonFerruggia]

That is true.

[@jjrob2738]

What an awesome, real, wholesome video. Did my heart good to watch; more so for the relationship piece than the workout itself (sorry - that's a compliment). Great stuff. Was that Mumford and Sons playing in the background by chance?

[@JasonFerruggia]

Thanks so much. Marilyn Manson. Very different music. Haha. I'm usually 90% hip hop during training but I had to put rock on for Crook.

@@JasonFerruggia Damn...I totally blew that one, haha....

[@justins.8592]

Are you still doing a top set on everything of 6-8 and a back off set of 9-12? Thanks Jay!

[@JasonFerruggia]

It's usually something like that.

[@jfitness432]

I was corrected a long time ago by a trainer who said lifting your neck off the bench while pressing causes unnecessary strain and limits the stretch on the eccentric, I’d imagine this hasn’t effected you but I’d love to hear your thoughts.

[@NinjaAirBike]

Why you suggest open palm on the machine seated press? Thanks again.

[@JasonFerruggia]

Feels better on elbows and shoulders. Try it.

[@patrickjulius7352]

I find it hard to tell when the chest is fully stretched vs. when I'm starting to push beyond my active range on bottom of DB presses or TRX push ups. any tips to know the difference? other than pain? haha. (trying to avoid the pain!)

[@JasonFerruggia]

Stand up and do a phantom press. Wherever your hands end up at the bottom, that's your end range.

[@BBOYMONI]

What happened to Leonard on the podcast?

[@JasonFerruggia]

Timing. He'll be back on some future eps.

[@mikepolidori5241]

Why did you do both cable and dumbbell lat raises ?

[@JasonFerruggia]

Crook doesn't have cables at home yet. So I just wanted to lock in his form on DB's.

[@patrickjulius7352]

how many days until the next push session after this?

[@JasonFerruggia]

Depends. But usually 4-5 days between body parts. My training is all over the place because I'm always training with people, filming, etc. so it often doesn't make sense.

[@patrickjulius7352]

If I did an alternating Upper lower on MWF each wk, are there any upper body exercises I can shift to lower without compromising recovery or risking tendon/ligament stress? Trying to make upper days shorter.

[@JasonFerruggia]

Biceps

@@JasonFerruggia would lateral raises work too or too much overlap with front delt?
