Thank you for this! I just ended things with my fitness coach. It became apparent she was treating me like I was twenty and didn't understand how the body changes as you get older. I kept telling her I needed to change the shoulder exercises, and she kept upping the weight and the reps. Every single one of the shoulder exercises she had me doing was on your list. Ug.
Am 71 and continue to do all basic bodybuilding exercises. Sometimes light weight. Sometime heavy. Always with strict form and proper breathing. Use it or lose it not "avoid this and avoid that." Had both hips replaced at age 59. Can now do a machine squat with 450lbs. for 3 reps. Feel great. Start with simple movement and increasing range of motion than add and then increase resistance. No age limits.
Nothing new here. After going to PT for years we have learned what works & what doesnt. Keep in mind everyone is different. Front presses work for me. I never did them behind the neck --------------------------COMMON SENSE!
Before a shoulder workout, I ALWAYS gently warm-up my shoulders with light weight or bands. Then for my shoulder workout, I start with light weight, high reps. Then add more weight with each set. For better context, I am 64 years old, I've torn both rotator cuffs back in the early 1980's. Had major surgery on my right shoulder in 2017 with mixed results, but over all, it is much better than before. Left shoulder is limiting, but I do all of my PT and regular shoulder exercises. The important thing is to find any kind of exercise you can do without pain and just do it with regularity. Keep moving. I bike, rock climb (indoors and outdoors), tele-mark ski/backcountry ski, train with weights and hike in the mountains of Montana. A body in motion, stays in motion.
Oh, my goodness! I so agree with you on these. It drives me crazy when an instructor includes some these in a class for seniors. Thanks for options that work better for aging bodies. ❤❤❤
My Left Shoulder and arm HURTS SO MUCH no matter how I move it for years . I went to Therepy 2 years ago which helped but now it is in painful again . Thank you for your instructions
Do you take medicine for cholesterol? I had horrible pain in my shoulder. When I realized it could be a side effect of my cholesterol medication, I stopped them. Within 2 days the pain was gone. It did not return until I started the drugs again. For now I am no longer taking them. It has become a quality of life decision for me.
Perfect timing for me today! I'm headed out to an exercise class now and the instructor has us do all of those exercises. Now I have a better idea of how to do them better. BTW I am WAY over 50!
As someone who previously had shoulder impingement issues and is over age 60, I respectfully disagree with this video. It is true that one should avoid exercises that exacerbate the impingement, but only while your strength and flexibility is diminished. Once you fix your strength and flexibility, you can do ANY exercises that you did in your younger days, exactly in the same manner. The whole "over 50" mythology and bias should be tossed in the trash, where it belongs.
Yea I was having shoulder impingement issues in my mid 30s. I lucky have addressed it through building strength doing external rotation moments. Now I'm lifting pain free.
Totally agree. I’m female 59yo and have started lifting heavier resistance training (3 sets 6-8 reps heavy enough to go to or close to failure on the last set) after not being very active in my youth. I have shoulder impingement issues which is about 95% better than this time last year and don’t let it hold me back especially in increasing my range of motion and strength. Good form is utmost importance.
I live in England one day could you please do a video for people who have had a MUA .I had one last week on my new knee because my knee would not bend .At the moment I am using my sons resistance bands I hope I am using them right .Just found your channel its great
As a personal trainer for 20 years that specializes in the over 50 crowd I agree with all but the first. Doctors and physical therapists love to take away normal human body movement patterns. The more you do that the weaker and less functional you become. Don’t squat, don’t press overhead. Etc. Overhead press is very important for seniors, if currently injured obviously work your way up to it And neutral grip palms facing might be best for some. Cutting it out completely just increases chances of injury in the real world when you reach up for anything
Some health and fitness influencers push avpiding internal rotation of the shoulders and to the layperson this might translate to military presses and wide of bench flyes that extend beyond the nack of head. I don't know if that made any sense. But are there any exercises that are more for the rare chain that do not cause Internal rotation especially for someone is a swimmer like myself? I've been trying. To have a way over compensate When I do calisthenics so i'm not doing too much internal rotation in my shoulders and now the front of my shoulders hurt. Trying to correct my posture is causing pronlems. Any suggestion,guys?
Very weird… I had frozen shoulder on one side of my body which meant, I could not tuck the back of my shirt with that arm without intense pain in that shoulder. I was able to get rid of it by doing military presses. Reading about frozen shoulder is hilarious… no one knows what causes it or why it goes away in some.

You are very welcome, glad you aren't doing them anymore!
Sometimes you've got to advocate for yourself. It's great these guys share this information, so you get a talking point with your trainer.

Helpful! Just completed PT for an impinged rotator cuff/bicep. Still healing but want to rebuild strength safely.
Thanks for the reminders of what exercises to do for strong shoulders w/ good mobility.
You are very welcome!
Exactly what i need with a shoulder spur and half frozen thank you! ❤
You are very welcome! Glad it was helpful!

Good for you finding something that works so you can keep moving. 👍
Please do a video for the best and worst exercises for cervical radiculopathy.

Hopefully this helped! Did you get a diagnosis when you went to the doctor before?
Did your doctor have any imaging done? Maybe it’s arthritis?
Do you take medicine for cholesterol? I had horrible pain in my shoulder. When I realized it could be a side effect of my cholesterol medication, I stopped them. Within 2 days the pain was gone. It did not return until I started the drugs again. For now I am no longer taking them. It has become a quality of life decision for me.
I'm kinda sad I need this video, but I do!! Too many overhead presses with too many weak supporting muscles. Thanks so much for the great content.
Completely understand why you would feel that way! Glad it was helpful!
Perfect timing for me today! I'm headed out to an exercise class now and the instructor has us do all of those exercises. Now I have a better idea of how to do them better. BTW I am WAY over 50!
Glad to be able to help! Keep up the great work, look at you go!!!
It's great that they show you some options you can do in classes.
Just bought the D6 massage gun. Thanks for educating about exercise safety.

They do go over how to do them safely. They said avoid OR how to do them safely. They do know what is best.
Disagree. Over 50 there can be very real degeneration of structures in the body, like intervertebral discs, bone, cartilage and tendons.

I have added this to our to do list!
@@BobandBrad Thank you
Their channel is awesome. I found it by way of a recommendation from a fellow senior fitness instructor.
Hi guys,nice to see you. Sending hugs from my new place in Texas.😊❤
Thank you so much for joining us!
Thank you very much you guys, l like that first one with that wood, it felt good already . Thank you both for serving the seniors ❤❤❤❤
Happy to help!

Another great video.
Thanks for watching!
For band flys dont have any tension in the band in the position you want to be after eccentric, as it may tear the pec.
For the flies, if you do them on the floor, you can't overstretch your shoulder joints.
Thanks for sharing!
Bless you for continuing to fight the good fight.
I have OS acromiale which causes impingement issues from time to time, But pull ups are never a problem; the pushing exercises sometimes are.
can autophagy help in l4 l5 disc bulge ? if yes, how many hours at a stretch and per week ?
Am I correct the product advertised for pushups years ago that allow your arms to rotate can cause problems with shoulders.
Some health and fitness influencers push avpiding internal rotation of the shoulders and to the layperson this might translate to military presses and wide of bench flyes that extend beyond the nack of head. I don't know if that made any sense. But are there any exercises that are more for the rare chain that do not cause Internal rotation especially for someone is a swimmer like myself?

You fellas are ANGELS ❤❤❤ 🎉
Yeah, thanks, guys
Thank you!
Uh oh I do the weights up and down.I also do the bands up and down.Sometimes it does hurt a bit.
Do the rotator cuff stretch it will go away.
We don't recommend you continuing anything that causes you pain.
Flys should not be done on a bench, but on the floor. Your elbows should not go lower than your back.
Thanks for sharing!
I’d recommend for flys, do them on the floor. Your arm cannot pass your body that way, and you can safely go much heavier than normal bench flys
Watching you is worst excercise it confirms we're over the hills! Kidding! 😊
LOL
Old age and treachery shall overcome youth and vigor. 😎

@@BobandBrad hey I just bought a bob and brad mini massager!! Love it!
Mr. Mike = Mr. Electric Eccentric.
Thanks!
What happened to Bob?
They uploaded a video
U should abandon the term shoulder "Impingement". It's generally not a helpful term.
Whatever.
