Am really getting a lot of great suggestions and info from the videos! Thanks.
Nice and clear exercises well explained – throw in shoulder press chin and a triceps and forearm and basics set + core, mobility and metcon
Good workout. Definitely like it!
40yrs old.
Incline bench press. Wide grip chin ups. Dead lifts. Squats. 10 reps.
The rest is icing on the cake.
At 49 I spent last year working on ass to grass squats because when I do them I feel a great burn in the quads ,hamstrings,and glues. I feel like it makes it a more complete compound movement for me.
I think you are Recommending too much time between sets
I though this will be a video about how to train for men over 40, and not how to do basic exercises.
Sounds really great. Allways looking for new exercises. I am aged 48. I´ll try it next year. God bless
Is a replacement for a squat? because I have a compressed back
Love it
All you need at 60+ 👍 I ad Hanging leg lift+Back extensions+Farmers walk. Twice a week but alternate DL and SQ otherwise it gets too hard💪😝
Loool 40 is just a number.. with 40+ you can workout like a 25 aged guy…
I think it's a good workout of you are short on time, for sure. I still prefer splits with 2 body parts per session for myself. I work out 3 to 4 times per week, but my workouts tend to be long (2 to 4 hours each).Usually I start with a heavy compound and then do the accessories. On compounds, like bench, my rest periods can be 5 to 10 minutes between sets. It all depends where I am in relation to peaking. If I'm in a volume phase at the start of a training cycle, I might do 10 to 15 sets of 5 at say 225 pounds with shorter rest intervals. Still takes a while, but relatively light weight so it doesn't tax the CNS and you get a good volume in. After a few weeks of volume raising the weights each time and lowering the total reps, I do a strength phase (heavier weight, but fewer sets) and finally a peaking phase, where i'm doing heavy sets of three, two, and finally attempt a new PR. Take a de-load week once every 5 weeks or as needed, rinse and repeat. Not for everybody, for sure, but I really enjoy taking my time and doing long workouts with a more power lifter/power body building type program. I have a home gym, and currently work from home as well, so I can do work during my rest periods. It integrates quite nicely. The intensity on the compounds is high, so I assume I'm getting the same benefits. I don't go quite as all out on Squats anymore though, as they bother my back if I go too heavy. I don't think it's the movement that's the problem, it's having all that weight pressing down. Having 400+ pounds on my back just doesn't work like it used to, lol. Lately, I've been doing lighter weight front squats, and going very deep, which put less pressure on the lower back but still hits the legs well. I think the key is to find what works best for you. People obsess over "optimal", but optimal varies from person to person and can change too. There is no one size fits all, so it's good to try different things and see what works for you, be it full body or a 2, 3 ,4, or 5 day split.
Excellent video, it’s not easy to find good recommendations for 40+ agers. I ended up with a very similar workout routine over the years. It is worth to mention that this multi-joint exercises should be practiced at the beginning with a trainer so that the technique is clean. It doesn’t take long, so a personal trainer for two or three sessions at the beginning and maybe once again after 6 weeks and 12 weeks should do the job fairly well. Happy training and thanks again for the video!
Great tips of form! The dead lift form is crucial in the posterior chain activation. Thank you!
Warning: 63 years old went back to training hard 6 months ago – After 4 months I lost 20LBS felt awesome & started waking up with morning/midnight boners, my wife lost interest in sex at age 47 when menopause struck, be prepared to get a girl friend on the side otherwise post-40 training will cause huge frustration.
👍👍👍👍
How wide is the grip for bench press and any advice how to keep my wrists straight as I noticed they bend on way up, Thanks
Im 41 and still feel like im in mid-20's🙂i work out 5-6 days a week alternating muscle group(chest,back,shoulder,legs).i prefer landmine squat/dumbell squat for legs and glutes.
Good job! I do almost the same workout but I add a military press for the shoulders
30 years since 10 years old 😂😂😂😂
Good video. Thanks for that. Perhaps add military press, farmer's walk and free hanging.
Have to disagree with the statement of not squatting after 50years old. I’m 54 and I live by the motto if I can squat,climb a tree to hunt and get myself off the toilet they won’t put me in an old folks home. It’s working so far
Good stuff!
Damn bro, are you winded from lifting just the bar?
This is almost similar to the stronglift 5 x 5 workout. Focusing on the big 5 compound barbell lifts. I'm over 40 and I have in the end, always come back to these compound lifts. It gives me the best workout in the shortest time span.
Do macro ratios change at 40 as well? For instance, do you want to do more carbs, less protein less fat, or more (lean) protein, less carbs and less fat, etc.?
I've found the safety squat using handles on the rack to be very effective. The handles help you out of the hole, keep your back safe, and allow you to add more weight, reaching intensities not possible with any other exercise.
What if your knees are shot and you care more about upper body?
Wow – A video from these guys where they do not try to sell their testosterone booster or fat burners supplements! Focus on exercise, diet and sleep and don't waste money on supplements with no proven benefit.
RoiD me dada🎉
Absolutely agree. Just find it difficult to compress everything in one hour along with dynamic warm up which is about the time most men have.
