@lifeasrog do ROW on incline bench. I have Gym, no more at Gym long time! I have also triplex atx and do chest supportd row on incline bench with It! Great all in One machine and safeyin each movment!
Hi! Interesting video. Too many machine exercises. I'm 45 years old. If I had to choose only 5 exercises for myself, they would be: - Pull-ups - Dips - Barbell Walking Lunges - Ab-Wheel Rollout - Deadlift.
I'm in the best shape of my life at 47. I've achieved this with home based workouts using minimal equipment compared to a full gym. I'm definitely planning on getting back into the gym this year though.. mainly to keep it interesting. Squat wedges were an absolute game changer when it comes to leg work at home.
I'm 63 with a destroyed back (ruptured disc; bulging disc; crumbling vertebrae) and only have access to dumbbells. I work out 5 days a week but have to be very careful to not hurt my back even more.
Being 42, I always look for different suggestions. Although my training hasn't changed too much in last 10 years or so. My key to longevity is lower or moderate weights to protect my joints and reduce risk of injury. Did it get me a six pack or made me ripped....nope... But I'm pain free and looking decent for my age. 💪🙂👍
I am 51, by experience training for 11 year passed 40, I do not agree with almost anything in this clip. It might be anecdotal, but I think it is still worth mentioning. 1. Smith machine allows you to lift more than you should, it is like running with shoes that are over padded. It is generally a bad idea. The smith machine makes it harder to adjust the movement and forces you to follow an unnatural line of movement, and it puts the shoulder in a slightly awkward angle relative to where the line of force is directed. I have never had any problem with free benchpresses, but I have had several minor issues from the smith machine, so I stopped using it. Most common issue I get is shoulder pinch syndrome 2. The chest supported row have a tendency to make the exercise stale. Doing this exercise causes pain in the shoulders for me, while when I use a cable row, I never have any pain, and the motion feels a lor more natural and smooth. 3. Single arm pull downs have caused injuries for me many times, I do not know why. To me, personally, this exercise is notorious. I grew up doing pull ups so traditional pull downs with a bar feels very natural to me and I have only injured my self once, but that time it did not warm up properly and injured the biceps. 4. Neither of these two exercises have given me any problems, ever, not doing them makes me stiff. I found the bar bell squat to be extremely safe and good for movement. I do ass to the grass on purpose to keep flexible and I avoid very heavy weights, and do reps of 15-20. When I do not do this exercise I get stiff quite fast to the point I cannot sit in an "asian squat", which everyone should be able to do to keep your back and hips healthy. I Also do the Bulgarian split because it also train stability of the hips. One legged motion exercises becomes increasingly important as you grow older, since it mimics the natural movement the body is designed to do. 5. The stiff legged dead lift or the variation Rumanian deadlifts has started to give me problems with my hips as the years have passes, I do not know why, but I get pain in the front of the joints. I know many other men at my age that have the same problem. I think it is the pure pressure of the bones pressing against one another when you are deep in the movement. It is a slightly unnatural movement, and that makes me very skeptical. All movements that you would never do in real life should cause suspicion, no one lifts with straight legs in real life, that is a no no.... My advice for people who are older in the gym. Try to do natural fluid movements and stop ego lifting and aim for a bigger rep range. If you do that, you can do anything. Most injuries passed 40 comes from ligaments and joints not being able to take heavy weights. The reson is that ligaments and bone quality reduce over the years. The same goes for the muscles, but the body adjust for the weaker muscle tissue by creating more muscle mass. So the ligaments and joints eventually becomes the bootle neck of how heavy you can lift. Longer rep range also reduces the need for long warmups, since you are basically warming up your muscles the first 10 reps. I almost do all movements between 12-20 now days, and I never injure myself. I had a lot more injuries lifting when I was in my twenties and thirties than i do now.
Stiff legged dead lifts are great for the erector spinae, very accurate and controlled increases in weight, progressive overload, pretty safe for the lower back. They are great when you've hit the limits of the hyper-extension machine.
Are the exercises only good for men over 40 and not for teenager? Or why does that stand in the description? I have also asked myself that in the other videos.
Another amazing video. I wish this info was easily avavailable wheni was in my 20s. There isn't any reason why young people today shouldn't be absolutely jacked.
While in100% agree with you that 40 isn’t old (being 44 myself), the fact remains, one’s body is in a very different place than it was at 20. If you’ve trained your whole life, that stress has wear and tear on the body, as much as my ego would like to deny it. I can still hang with 20 somethings, but it’s because I don’t act like a fool in the gym like I used to when I was in my 20s and “invincible”.
Wow this is a very excellent and brilliant video bro telling about this 5 best exercises for men over 40 and keep it up and keep up the great work as always for all of us and take care Keep smiling always
Chest Smith machine puts your body at a vulnerable disadvantage because it's not a normal Arc movement. You're confined to the limits of the machine which has no variability. What's wrong with having core strength anyway,. If I wanted to isolate the muscle and not use core strength I would use cable flies or something else. The cables don't confine you to a track like a Smith machine does so the chance of injury is much reduced, especially for older people. Who've already probably had injuries that are going to recur if they have their bench set an inch too far forward or too far back.
1) Smith machine incline press
2) Chest supported machine row
3) Single arm lat pull down
4) Bulgarian split squat
5) Stiff leg deadlift
The gym that I go to doesn’t have a machine to do the chest supported exercise

Bench pressing when your young joints are good, but once you go over 40 its hell on your shoulders, train smart and becareful.
Thanks !
use dumbells instead of barbell
I love this video 💯✅🫡

Can you do a video about the supplements that men over 40 need to take??!!
Another amazing video. I wish this info was easily avavailable wheni was in my 20s. There isn't any reason why young people today shouldn't be absolutely jacked.
Being 40 sucks, but these exercises are doable indeed.
Wait till you get to 56😂
Can u tell us a bit more about it, we're JT about to get there
Being 43 is awesome!
It's all about perspective.
@@highdesertjohnenjoy it while it lasts, 44 is dogshit 😂
Hoping 45 is nice though
Still training at 66 after prostate surgery deadlifts and squats are beyond me but machine squats help
Studies don't show, they suggest.
40 isnt old. This is funny. 😂

Love the channel bro,im 43 1 year in to my health journey and you really help ❤❤
Wow this is a very excellent and brilliant video bro telling about this 5 best exercises for men over 40 and keep it up and keep up the great work as always for all of us and take care
Keep smiling always
I m 57,and since this time, I could do anything, but I prefer machines instead of free weights ❤
No exercise for the delts? What about machine shoulder Press, for you delts and tríceps?
Really good advice.
🤣🤣
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Stay jacked.
Really difficult to do those one legged squats without almost falling over, at least for me. I've given up on them.
Have you tried with you back foot not elevated? Then you can slowly increase the height over time.
No shoulder press???
Deadlifts and squats suck over 45 and are just gonna get worse.
Nonsense.
Funny, I'm 50+ and they're no problem. Maybe you're doing them wrong.
@@BumfluffAddlepate i just hate doing them
Bullshit
Trap bar for deadlift

You need to work on your neck. It sucks.
Lose the backwards hat buddy...not a good look
He's a clown
I'm sure he will lose it; thanks for pointing that out for him, buddy. Pretty arrogant thinking anyone needs your opinion on how they should dress.
