      Just 1-3 lbs! Plenty to start. And I’m in decent shape, healthy, and exercise regularly. But I don’t have much arm strength at all and have weak shoulders (had a surgery on one). Thanks for the tip.

    One thing I appreciate about you besides your educating me about what I can do to improve myself, is that your videos are not all 10.2 minutes long. I know youtubers make more when their videos are over 10 minutes. You get to the point. Thank you. I hope you become very successful!

      And despite that they contain the "why", and this combination is perfect for viewers, although not necessarily from the monetary perspective (something with YT monetisation and 10m mark)
      Explanation: afaik multiple behavioural studies proved that to maximise the amount of people from a given group to actually follow and stick to the advice you have to give people a reason, however not necessarily *the* reason, that is lengthy explanations containing nuance and requiring higher order thinking to understand are to be avoided (the mental effort required makes us turn that off, ofc those are broad strokes and there are individuals with vastly different tendencies)

    I really like it that you tailor your exercises for the more senior persons too. Muscle weakness can creep up on us so quickly almost without even noticing to begin with. It makes so much sense to constantly keep our muscles toned ~ after all, that's all that's keeping us from collapsing into a heap on the floor!

  • @thefisherking78
    @thefisherking78 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Oh yeah. I had two experiences around the age of 40 that impressed upon me how crucial it is to maintain the shoulders. First of all I developed a partial tear of my rotator cuff by overtraining on bench/dumbbell presses and not doing enough of the opposite exercises like rows. I was prescribed a good set of physical therapy exercises by my doctor and even without any guided therapy I was able to essentially reverse that. A year later I had a bad accident while riding my mountain bike and hurt the same rotator much worse, but was again able to dramatically improve the condition via PT and never required surgery. The joint will probably never be back to exactly 100%, but with continued therapy I basically keep it fully functional. I keep a kettlebell in my car and I do rows and overhead presses sometimes to kill time if I'm waiting somewhere.

      @jsedge2473 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @Lin Hisit It's actually normal to do a row using both arms. Look up a barbell row (you can use 2 dumbbells at the same time in this manner). Doing single armed and leaning on something just provides more stability, it's the "easier" version of the actual exercise. I personally like using both arms better.. I get a better feeling in my back. But if someone is just starting working out or they have mobility issues, leaning on something and doing 1 arm at a time may be the better option.

    It took you over 2 minutes to actually begin to even start demonstrating
    the first exercise. You pack to much talk in and never shut up. You look uncomfortable as though you are in a rush.
    This video could be tons better if it was more paced and you talked about
    70 per cent less. Also the fact you are wearing a dark top obscures some of the movements.
    Verdict
    Very unprofessional.
