    Great content as always!
    Single-leg squats are 🔥.
    I’ll add two great exercises:
    1. Kettlebell shoulder press (holding the bottom of the KB in your palm) 2-4 sets of 10
    2. Standing ab wheel roll-outs (with band assistance from a rack/pull-up bar if needed) 2 sets all out.

    • @colinb8332
      @colinb8332 2 роки тому +1

      I like the shoulder press with the KB inverted. So the bottom is facing toward the ceiling. A lot harder since you have to stabilize it throughout the movement. But KBs in general are a game changer.
      Also, I love the ab rollout. Favorite ab exercise

    I just turned 50. My go to activity is rock climbing. It’s not a sport that gets talked a lot about on workout channels, but I love using your videos and exercises to supplement my climbing - power, core stability, mobility and joint health, etc. are all so relevant! Great content!

    0:32 if you want to make that exercise a bit more challanging, hold a mic while executing the movement,
    once you master that, try making sound effects for the advanced level gains.

    Yeah Walrus! I thought up this movement myself a while back. So cool to see it here. A fun progression is to march out with knees held at 90. Forces you to really squeeze those abs to keep the knees pulled in.

    Sensational episode Dane. I’ve been in and out of gyms for 50 years and most of these exercises (if not all)blitz what is routinely taught by instructors. They would do well to get out of their echo chamber which stems from the Cert. Courses taught and subscribe. I specialise in deadlift and I can see how my PB is going to balloon now. Thank you.

    I'm in my late 40s but still quite fit. Being a Muslim, I fast during Ramadan & a few yrs ago I went back to the gym 2 days after Ramadan ended. I was doing deadlifts and had 3 plates on the bar - which is usually easy for me.
    As I stood up, I felt a popping, & tearing in my lower back on the right side. apparently i did not realise that i had gotten quite weak and was not as strong as i was a month ago.
    Since that day, about 5 yrs ago, I have been unable to deadlift more than 3 plates. The problem is lifting off the ground- I have NO power but if i start from about 30 cms off the ground, i can go heavier.
    Do I need a chiropractor or should i just do more lower back work or is this something I have to live with forever now?
    i used to go up to 4 plates on an Olympic bar- thats 180 kgs.

      @taylorlee2001 2 роки тому

      All of them would be great to add into your exercise routine, like Dane says start slow with light weight until movements feel good. The Nordic curls are killer for almost anyone that’s never done them before. Go slow down then give yourself a little help back up with a little push up but really try and focus on contracting at the hamstring to pull your self up

  • @lightningzing1548

    Right from the start, anyone who suggest split squat with barbell of any form, is a terrible coach, barbell take away your arms, humans use arm to balance, barbell loaded split squat requires a lot of balancing, which means you have to have well developed leg glute and core muscle to even try, for those who don't, it's not something light like wobbling and fall down, this is how you tear your meniscus or even ACL. Terrible terrible idea
