I started at 49, bro. Stick with it. I’ve never felt or looked better. I’ve hurt myself a few times so be careful. No ego lifting and use proper form always. Welcome to the rest of your life! Live strong.
I'm 44 and finally got a space for a decent home gym and recently got back at it. I can take all the time in the world and perfect my form, and not feel like I need to rush it, which inevitably causes injuries at our age. Gary's exercises and explanations have helped me a lot 😃 I'm mixing some weights with mostly Calisthenics and I'm seeing great results. Body weight exercises have vastly increased my strength and mobility too, mobility being an issue as we get older 😉
@@jdog3708I always ask someone in the gym 🏋️♂️ how to use a machine. Most people I meet are very helpful instead of hurting yourself. It takes you way back in your journey.
@@raynbow6 it's not the form, it's the readiness... make sure you warm up plenty and stretch and even bad form will have difficulty giving you injuries
Thanks Gary At 62 I’m feeling better now than I’ve ever felt. Your attitude and attention to the correct form has made exercises so useful and enjoyable
30.4.2024. After few months of lifting heavy loads for few reps (8-10) today I planned to switch to lighter weight more reps (20+) but slowly. Since it is my shoulder day I will definitelly give this a try. I always have issues properly activating medial shoulder muscile. Front and back is not an issue. Will update in a month to tell you how it goes. BTW I'm 49, will be 50 in June.
What would be the difference when you do the lateral raise, but just bend the elbow a bit? I noticed that by bending the elbow I feel less stress on my shoulder and can actually use more wight and control the movement better.
Love your channel and will be changing my shoulder workouts to the 5 that you just showed. I am 79 and am still building muscle, but not like I did when I was younger.
Thank you for your dedication and videos that you take your time to explain. I am 64 nd usually work out for a couple of weeks and get distracted with life. Then I get back on that horse again, and again. Thanks to you and your partners I think I may have jumped over my plateau, and I thank you for that. My name is Mike and I am a retired Marine. Someday, I’m hoping to look half as good as you guys!
I’m 60 and have been lifting for 45 years. Recently my rotator cuffs are hurting very much. I tried several of your exercises and they are awesome! No more pain.
I'm 28 but I do this video as I've hurt my shoulder in the past and it still is messed up to this day from lifting. But this video with lighter weights is brilliant thankyou
Gracias Gary, muy buena explicación y execelente manera de mostrar cada ejercicio. Postura, forma, cadencia y ejecución. Tengo 63 años de edad, con más de 40 años haciendo ejercicio con pesas. Eres el primero que veo explicar con este nivel de excelencia. Simplicidad, claridad, conocimiento y modestia, que solo los auténticos maestros pueden tener. Un saludo desde México.
Best video on UA-cam for sure you demonstrate it amazingly with detail and different camera angles for the first time in years I feel like I'm actually nailing the technique properly
Thanks, this will really help with my shoulder workout. I had the sets and reps right, but not the correct form. 54 now, and already seeing growth in the shoulders. This will really help!
At 65 years old, I have also been doing weight training, and I have also created a video channel to encourage middle-aged and elderly Chinese to participate in fitness.
I love these Bowflex dumbbells because they are very easy to adjust and have a very comfortable grip. (Much easier to adjust than my old Gold’s Gym dumbbells.) My partner likes that they go down to 5 and 7.5 lbs and they go up to 50 and 52.5 lbs. The weight holders are plastic but holding up well after 6 months of use. There is no stand, so I’ve been using my old Gold’s Gym stand to make them easier to pick up from a standing position.
NICE. I just turned 70 and I follow a lot of what you said already. I know now I am still working out right. THANKS. My first trip to a gym lifting was when I was 13 no machines back then.
Thank you so much for this... Been apprehensive about lifting my whole life and your instructions and attention to detail have inspired me to keep on track! Thanks again 👍
I'm working delts tomorrow so I will give it a shot, I have injured my right shoulder quite a few times and kept training and never had it checked out, so now I can't hold the bar to do squats and have been using machines for shoulder presses
Can i do these workouts several times a week n abiut 5 times a week. Wat u do us ever tine im bired ill lift. So about three times a day but I only do ten of each lifts n then relax. Mind u I just started n only have one baseball if lije 15 to 2o lbs
Another great Instructorial video. I’m going to look for the other old school videos reminds me back in the high school football team workout. Thanks bro.,
Good basic old school workout but I don't understand the correlation with being over 40 years old unless maybe you are a novice. Also might want to add an exercise for middle & lower traps for better back balance.
Perhaps someone can give me some training advice for me returning after 14 year gap please? I used to do 2 exercises per muscle group and train entire body on that day 3 times a week. If I’m doing 4 or 5 exercises per muscle group with 3 sets of 8-12 reps, what groups should train on a particular day? 3 or 4 day routine? If anyone can advise I’d be grateful.
Tell me about it. For my first 45 years, I couldn't keep any weight on me, then I unfortunately contracted Lyme Disease, and it totally screwed my metabolism, not to mention my overall health. It's hard to work out when you have no energy, so I force myself, and I do what I can. I'm 61 now and still have Lyme, and I'm also 20 lbs. overweight. The lifting has restored some muscle mass, but the damned gut just won't diminish, even with a 20/4 IF window. I keep my calories between 1400 and 1800 daily, and I eat pretty damned clean, but it hasn't moved the needle for me. I did go from 170 to 160 initially, but I'm a small guy, my weight shouldn't be more than 140, so now I'm stalled for the past 3 months. I'm incorporating HIIT and regular cardio along with at least 3 weight lifting workouts per week, but I think I've got some thyroid and adrenal problems because of the Lyme, and that could be holding my progress back. Anyway, thanks for providing much needed motivation. As you know, after 60, this stuff is hard to maintain.
@@094340 hey, try intermittent fasting and keto diet. Working out with anabolic live videos and doing the above. Lost at least 40 pounds. 62 years old. definitely works.
Just watch out for the cramps,, its agony lol. I too am a 60 year old coming back to it... stick with it my friend, and you too can be as knackered as I am...
Just getting back into it, drop sets gonna make you very sore. May I suggest one set only to failure per exercise. Some advanced lifters still do that. Seriously tho I am 60 as well you might even not go all the way to failure at first. I kept overdoing it when I returned after a layoff, got too sore, quit.Not a personal trainer tho.
Very well said sir about this topic and about this shoulders workout and keep it up and keep training hard and be strong always and stay safe and stay healthy and be positive and happy always but never give up on your dreams and take care
Thanks for this Great Information and your Awesome Videos. And Yes....it would be Fantastic if you could put together an Old School Series that could be done from home! Would love to see something Old School for the Lower Extremities!! Thanks again.
Thanks Gary.👍💯❤.....any videos of remidies of bicep pain when curling? It's been weeks, I may have ego lifted😄😥but geez, forearm hurts, elbow, bicep hurts etc. Anyone?
Dont see what it has to do with over 40 but never mind that. All those tops are a matter of opinion and I would t do what he's shows as upright rows with your elbows on the side or even behind you is just not healthy for your rotator cuffs .also the bend over row is more an upper back exercise. And so on but I guess it will work the targeted muscles no matter how you do it it's just about how little streets you have on your joints . And how healthy you keep them in the long run
Sorry, almost everyone worked their shoulders twice a week, three times a week when preparing for a contest. I know of no bodybuilder, until the modern era, who worked their shoulders only once a week.
Thanks for the video, I'm 48 and just beginning my workout and living healthy, better late than never

Thanks Gary

When you do the shoulder shrugs, are you tucking your chin into your upper chest?
OUTSTANDING INFORMATION SIR!
#THANKYOUFORSHARING
Great Advice
I am above 50 and these sets work out real good for me ❤ thanks!!….
Hey Gary, this is a very, very good Video. Thank's for the advice with the db upright row. I think, this is very important.😉👍💪
Excellent Gary! Very informative as always 👏 👍 👊
Thanks for the info! Very helpful!
Nice workout; tried it yesterday👍👍
I'm all about it!!!!
Another one of my favourite delt workouts Gary 💪
I like that with the overhead DB press, your Triceps get a workout ass well.
Thanks needed something new
Please do put together an old school series..
That would be great. 🏋♂️👍

Can Include this with a chest workout. If so, which is best to do first? 49 years old. Thanks
Thank you Sir . Iam 50 and you give me hope to re-shape my body. 💪

Hi Gary, how many times a week should I do these old school workouts??
12:30 min 8nto the vid
I totally agree with the semi-neutral grip for OHP. My shoulder pain was reduced drastically.
Good basic old school workout but I don't understand the correlation with being over 40 years old unless maybe you are a novice. Also might want to add an exercise for middle & lower traps for better back balance.
Great videos as always. But one question, do I have to this until
Failure?
Perhaps someone can give me some training advice for me returning after 14 year gap please?
I used to do 2 exercises per muscle group and train entire body on that day 3 times a week.
If I’m doing 4 or 5 exercises per muscle group with 3 sets of 8-12 reps, what groups should train on a particular day?

That’s Me. Older guys.
How many sets and Reps?? Please advise. Thanks
Always the same. 3 or 4 sets with 8 to 12 or 15 reps...
and tell me about the steroids that you consume
at 8:03 you never want to bend over with weight. It's bad for your back.
Five exercises, 13:29 minutes?
👍👍👍👍👍
When it comes to shrugs, it depends how heavy the dumbbells you're shrugging are. Can't hold 75+ lb dumbbells for 3 secs.
