  • As we age, responsibilities take over, leaving us with far less time to dedicate to training.
    And that’s why in this video, I want to share the only 5 exercises you need to build a solid, well-rounded physique.
    Ideally, you want movements that are stable, train the target muscles maximally, and minimize fatigue.
    That's why I've chosen five exercises based on the foundational movement patterns.
    These ensure we hit every major muscle group effectively and enhance our functional capabilities to help us not only look like a million bucks, but feel like it too.

    At over 40, I still do Squats, Deadlifts, Bench Press, Pull-ups, Rows, and Shoulder Presses, having lifted since I was 15. The basics always work with the right adjustments. You don’t need to deadlift 500 lbs to get results; proper weight on the bar and form can still achieve the correct stimulus.

      At 40, it shouldn’t really be a problem as long as you don’t go heavy, always keep good form on exercise that stresses the lower back. 45 still doing the same, just lift carefully. Been taking care of back after an injury in my late 30’s. It sucks but so does getting old and fat

      I'm also over 40 and I agree with you. I now just pick weight that I'll fail with around 15-20 reps and try to take it easy on my joints while fatiguing and working the muscles. Glad to see I'm not the only one that thinks like you do!

    At age 67, deadlifts, and even Romanian deadlifts, are pretty problematic for my lower back in particular. Instead I've been doing back extensions, which are great for my erector spinae, and really work the hamstrings and glutes too. I'm glad to see you included them as one of your core five exercises.

    Not a bad list but honestly, at 47, I developed shoulder issues from incline benching with dumbells. I could push the weight, but my shoulders didn't like it. I'd replace those with any version of weighted or time under tension push-ups. Heels elevated or standard, the push-up is king and will work the core as well. Places the whole upper body under tension really.
