really nice vertical movement of the barbells on the deadlift. also there are like tons of videos out there how to do the deadlift properly and possible errors and what to look out for.
Thanks bro 😊😊😊
WRONG! There's no hip hinge in the deadlift unless you're doing the Romanian deadlift.
WRONG! You don't get constant resistance with resistant bands. The longer it gets stretched the greater the resistance.
Great alternatives. Thanks
I’ve had lower back spasms with some serious ones about 4-5 times in the last 20 years, where I’ve been told to stop lifting. Being obstinate and to avoid depression, I plodded on through each painful attack. However, with each setback, I learned to avoid the movements which actually caused the seizures. Liked the detailed explanations ! 🙏
Great info, thank you! American here. Proper form is vital for all movements. “Hip hinge” – aka “push your tush out”. I’m 73 and used to be a gym rat…an old, very bad knee injury has caught up with me so I have to focus on strengthening knee ligaments & tendons somehow. I was doing 30-50 squats every other day with no problems, but doing the horse stance a couple times hurt that one knee. 😟. Will check out your other content. Love your presentation! 😊
As usual, another one of your most helpful videos for over 50s. Thanks, Will.
Thank you. Very helpful!
You assume that all people over 50 have problems with their joints and bones. That's nonsense!
Your exercises are for 70+. For 50+ they are simply ridiculous
08:05 – you meant "a few times a week", right?
Thank you, Will! You are the best. I’m really enjoying your book too.😊
Love the discussion about toe dips/lower ab exercise
If we have neck issues, can we do the neck exercises and the military press?
Awesome and immediately answered the questions I had after watching your last video about the exercises to AVOID. I'm 57 and recently gave myself an injury after being too aggressive with an upright row with a kettlebell. Thanks so much!
I was doing upright rows for front delts and traps. What do you suggest I do now?
You explain and demonstrate in a way that is easy to understand and follow. I think that finally, I will now be able to do the deadlift correctly. Thank you.
I am turning 70 and appreciate the tips for 50+ exercises!
Any risk of causing hernias when you do these ?
I hope you are trolling,
all bunch of non-sense. terrible way to deadlift, the arms should either be well inside (sumo) or outside (conventional) the knees, not in front of them.
Upright rows with a proper grip shoulder width, I've been doing for years, I am 72, they work for me. 😮
Can’t do deadlifts or crunches because of lumbar herniated disc 😢 I will try out the alternative to the crunches. Been looking for such. Thanks! 🥰
Again, brilliant alternatives! I would add some external rotation of the shoulder in your Lateral Raises by turning your thumbs towards the ceiling at the top of the movement?
This was very useful and helpful, thank U. 🎉🎉🎉
54 year old lifting addict, currently recovering from rotatorcuff tear ( post surgery ) I’m local to you, so when I’m ready I will booking some sessions, good simple instructions👍👍
Good advice, thanks,,Dino from Sweden
Ah, did those toe taps in yoga, imagining that we were dipping our toes into a pond.
Toe taps are underrated, so many possibilities for this exercise. I enjoy 3-5 lb ankle weights to this exercise. Another great variation is lying on a foam roller with the length of the spine (make sure your neck is on the roller as well. Place both legs on the floor and lift one leg at a time and hold for 5-10 seconds while balancing without the use of your hands.
I also injured my back doing deadlifts and needed back surgery at age 37. I'm sure some of the problem is normal wear and tear for years. I dont think iniuries happen "just like that".
Thanks a lot for a very great injury avoiding education all oldies like me can use.❤❤❤
Thanks for the alternative crunch exercises?
My gym has all kinds of equipment. Would you list some machines that I should avoid, being over 50?
Excellent-thank you. 👌
lateral raises are super suboptimal and because of isolation it strain the joint….dumbell presses 500% superior for building strength and muscle, I gave up lateral raises 15 years ago and my shoulder gains sky rocketed using presses. I am 59 , natural and benching 310lbs regularly
I am a 66 y/o female, fairly healthy fit and flexible. Two things I find I have problem with are my decreasing balance and doing crunches (I could never do crunches even when younger.) So, thank you for those alternatives for the crunches.
But leg raises (which I can do) don't help me with the inches piled around my upper tummy😥?
Any suggestions?
EXCELLENT SUGGESTIONS
I herniated a disc doing a deadlift. The Neurosurgeon said NEVER EVER DO DEADLIFTS AGAIN! Puts way too much strain on the discs!
Yes showing the wrong way, then right thing is the show the right ways how to do it great!
Will, I had commented on your video about exercises to avoid if you have osteoporosis in the spine. I am a cancer survivor whose bones are being affected by maintenance treatment. I appreciate these alternative exercises! You are helping so many of us who are determined to maintain strength and mobility 😊!
👍👍👍
fantastic! very encouraging and inspiring –
thanks a lot
I have heard to do the lateral raise with thumbs up instead of palms down, they said it is better for your shoulders. Wondering if it really matters which way you hold the weight? I don't feel a difference when I do them each way. thank you! Love your videos!!!
Awesome
Hi from Sydney down under, Luv luv luv all, yeah the last core tummy exercises lifting both legs up I could feel I was using lower hip muscles but was fine with other movements.
