Sorry for the late reply,, I had a family emergency back home and haven't been online much. You would want to create a baseline of how much weight (load) you lift. And the same goes for reps. For example, most people can walk or run 5km. But if they haven't moved much in months or even years, running or walking that 5km would be too much as the tissue wasn't ready for it. So maybe you start at 1km and gradually work your way up to 5km. The same applies for reps and load. The only issue is, most people will feel as though the baseline 'wasn't enough'. As there wasn't much of. a challenge. But it was a challenge for the tissue and the joint. It just may not have been for the mind. Meaning the mind felt like it could do more. This approach takes practice, but once mastered can set you up for a life of progress with minimal setbacks/injuries. If you want strength and hypertrophy you can adjust the rest in between sets and the amount of reps and sets themselves. 6 reps is great for strength and hypertrophy. And a rest of a rest of around 2 minures is also great for what you're looking for. I hope this helps!

Lol! No I don't polish it...it shines al on its own. Not sure I got the 'walking backwards' joke, but love your sense of humour! Thank you for the laugh!

No time machine. I was just sharing insights on how that process can be challenged. Especially flexibility. That’s one of the easiest to restore.

It’s not new news, but many don’t know what’s making them feel ‘old’. Flexibility is by far so easy to address and will help any body feel younger. It’s sad to see such an amazing system (the human body) decline so fast if nothing is done.

I think it gives people more power to know that those three things are the physical signs of ageing you can actually manipulate. So many people aren’t sure what to do or aren’t proactive. So they get old even quicker.

I’m happy you already get it!

Are you signalling to that time stamp in the video?

Glad you found it useful.

Squats are great for the glutes when you go deep!

@@youngerwithage yeah I just suck at getting cheeks to sneaks. For some reason I only hit parallel.

I might just be the weakest (lift the least) guy in that gym. My journey is to do something pretty special in the coming years so I need the skill side of things to make it happen! 🙂

no lie - by positioning the hips forward, it causes them to be in a position where they have to work to keep the body from falling backwards. Don't think of it as relaxing backwards, think of it as keeping your hip flexors tight, so you don't fall on your behind!

If it helps, imagine holding a heavy barbell over your head (135 for example. If your hips are in neutral and your torso is stacked right on top of it, you'll be in a 'stacked' and powerful position. If your torso moves, or your hips move, the stack is compromised. If that helps. Now imagine that same move, only walking. I understand there's so much advice out there. And these days subscriber and follower size has a lout of clout. Which I get. I too, for many years when I was younger was hearing different things. But later on as I honed my craft (with the help of some brilliant coaches from another era) I began to simply look at the math and physics of lifting. When we move, something stretches, something is asked to support a load and something moves away from the vertical axis. I heard a great comment once, maybe you'l like it, maybe not. Eric Clapton was once asked who the best guitarist in the world was. His response "probably some kid in his basement". 😉

Its not bad, but you cant really progress to higher weight w/o help from other ppl.

They are good too! And there are ways to advance them. I like my spine fully extended when I do some of my core moves. This is the position they need to be strong in when I lift.

I appreciate the comparison.Thank you! Lot's of great creators out there. I do think differently based on the system I was trained under. I hope people can see how amazing their bodies truly are and how to keep them running like a 20 y/o as the decades pass. My coach is doing that and I am following his advice to do what he's doing, maybe even improve the model :)

That's awesome! Very smart to use the lat pull machine- Nice work!

I’m glad you got value for me. Thank you for the comment as well!

No problem

I played hockey for most of my life. 🏒It’s a lot of quad and hamstrings. For glutes a deep squat, hip thrusters or deficit DL is good. I lost some size but getting it back as we speak.

@@youngerwithage lost some size haha yeah bud I feel ya!

@@JoshSilversyou can get it back! 😀

@@youngerwithage sorry for the late response, but could you make a video on deep squatting? Also what position did you play? Goalie here!

@@JoshSilvers I played a lot of positions but was a winger (right side) for most of my life. I played goalie back in the day when your goalie got hurt, a player from the team jumped in to take his place til he got back. I trained a few goalies as well. I'll see what I can do for a deep squat video.

Maybe this would help people who work at factories bro

Lol! Love it! I did not do that when I moved.

@@Ttyronebigumms That arch is used in strongman too. It's a staple of how to protect your back in the gym no matter what type of lifter you are. I'm guessing you're referring to the pick up and put down part. If so, I get where you're coming from.

no you either save your back and blow your knees out or save your knees and blow your back out. Your choice! I moved furniture for 10 years and chose to blow my back up, legs feel great tho😂

@JDJD-mw9rr I seem to have picked the good back and the bad knees 🤔. What do you think about trading? I'll get the good set on Thursday-Saturday and you get the good set Sunday-Wensday. We'll swap schedules half way through the year to keep things even.

Knee pain when you squat or just on the job as a whole? If you bend a lot and your knees hurt it is most likely because you are going on your toes and loading them more. . Most of us would. Some things to consider would be... where in the knee do you feel it? Is it one knee or both? Is the knee okay in the morning before work and then flares up happens? Here are a few things you can do. Keep your calves, quads and hamstring loose. Or at the very least, loosen them up after each day. I know you'll be tired but even 10 minutes will help. Just make sure the moves are movement based and not static based (so don't 'stretch and hold') Change your foot stance when you bend. Mix it up each day or each hour even. You can also try a "high heel". An example would be a work boot with an elevated heel. Just be careful with this one as the calves shorten when the heels are lifted. it's great to bend easier, but you'd want to loosen your calves every night for sure!

@@bobcatethan8919 sure just please make sure you make the chiropractor appointments. You're going to need them!

say that when your 40 with spine problems no hurt in being safe

When your back ends up as bad as mine you’ll understand why this is important! I have 3 degenerative discs in my lower back from not caring and now I’m in pain constantly and when it goes out I feel like I’m almost paralyzed with excruciating pain that shoots down every part of my body! Best to do it the right way then destroying your back!

I get the notion. Unless an acute (violent blow) injury occurs to any one of us, our injuries usually take time to develop. The accumulation effect. Disc bulges and herniations etc..don't happen overnight. They are a product of many many poor cycles of movement and other things like excessive sitting. Just keep that in mind as I wouldn't want you to one day go down in a heap with a crippling back injury.

@@youngerwithage yeah that’s how it was for me it just kept getting worse over time and now when it goes out boy is it brutal

Sorry to hear that. Try some extension exercises on a daily basis. Even just one but do it daily.

There's that too. You are correct 100% when it comes to bodybuilding. I trained athletes for most of my career and was lucky enough to train with great coaches (technical coaches). Like a hockey coach or a football coach. And I'd ask each one of them this..."If you had to chose between heart or talent, which would you choose"? Every single coach (before I could barely finish the question) would answer with heart. The work ethic and willingness to go way outside that zone is what moves people into the 1% or less. MJ or KB are great models for this.

Don't know.. I just sat and recorded.

Great question! There is no rule. Mine goes out naturally as my fingers extend. My focus is on my 4 fingers. Once they straighten I would maybe play with the thumb position. I hope this helps .

100% - I'm not in 'fitness'. I never was influenced by the market so it's good for me because my clients don't have that mindset. My world is performance based. Like a world class athlete listening to a coach (many not in shape at all), and making world champs out of them.

@@youngerwithagehmm I mean that is a good answer in all fairness but I’d say most coaches that are coaching world class athletes have walked the walk at some point in their life. And most retire and then become coaches but at one point they were at the top of their game as well so your answer is pretty good but still … you’ve got 6k subs so clearly some people must be finding your content useful so I guess if it works then it works

That would be pretty cool. Kind of what gets loaded and what will break if pushed to hard on some level? I'll look into such a thing for sure. I can create one based on my 30+ years of training for sure.
