Don't do: tricep kickbacks (who knew!) Do: overhead tricep extension (or skull crushers?) Don't: double dumbbell side bend Do: single dumbbell side bend (one side at a time) Don't do: barbell good-mornings (those hurt!) Do: Romanian deadlift
You would be shocked (or not) how many people in health care don't know or care about the maladies of aging. I certainly didn't know when I was younger, but am getting educated about it now, and fast. You're a Godsend Will.
I have long thought that the reason old folks have a reputation for going on and on about their maladies is that they are constantly surprised by them. “Wait, I’m not old, this isnso strange and unexpected! I am in my 30s…” Now that I am over 60 I get up in the morning, look in the mirror, and want to call the cops about this old intruder in my bathroom.
No wonder that triceps push never felt like it wasn't doing anything. Love this channel. As a former massage therapist I really appreciate how you break every exercise down.
So pleased to hear you've found my channel useful! I believe it's important for me to share my reasoning behind the exercises I recommend/don't recommend, so that everyone can make informed decisions about their own actions!
If you do those, just don’t come down to the 90° position. Only come down to where you still feel strain on the triceps and then move back up to the parallel position.
Wow! Every exercise channel seems to incorporate the triceps kickback ! You seem to be the only one who understands why they are not that beneficial! While demonstrating a better, safer alternative! Love your drawings😊 your channel is a goldmine for safe exercises, and with the most benefit. Thank you !
Do tricep kickbacks with a cable at knee to waist height. THEN you’ll get benefits as there is tension THROUGHOUT the entire movement. Then it becomes a very beneficial exercise!
@@markwright8498 I'm not quite sure what the point is there, though, as you could just stand up and do a pushdown with the rope attachment. Pretty much the same articulation of the arm, similar force curve, you can do both sides at once, and you can stand up rather than have to lean over awkwardly.
Thank you so much! I want to try these! I really appreciate how you emphasize working smarter and being careful in choice of movements, so we do not hurt ourselves when trying to stay in shape. I live in the US and you are one of my preferred PTs on the internet.
I love every video and share them with my older sister as well. We have each purchased your book and I bought one to give us a gift for Christmas. Thank you for all you do.
Thank you so much for your kind support and for sharing my videos. Thank you for ordering my book - I hope you both find it filled with interesting and valuable information!
Thanks for putting us straight about these exercises. I have done them all in my time thinking I was doing well. As for " Good Mornings" I remember those from aerobics class warm ups in the 80s. Clearly they should have stayed there.
this is very very helpful. I have a great trainer, but I'm over 50 and he's about 24 so I think that once in a while he forgets he's not working with someone his own age. thank you very much.
I'm so pleased to hear my video was able to provide some helpful information. Thank you for subscribing and I hope you find my additional video beneficial!
I fired my trainer after it became apparent that she was treating me like I was twenty. I kept telling her I needed to change a couple of exercises because they were hard on my shoulders and elbow joints. Instead, she cheerfully increased the weights and the reps.
Where have you been all these years, dear Will? Thanks a ton for the fabulous job you're doing in sharing these videos with us. We highly appreciate it!
I really appreciate that you invite comments, and then answer them. May I ask for neck mobility exercises, I call them "safe lane change whilst driving" movements. Thanks so much.
Hi there! Absolutely - I try to get back to as many people as I can. Thank you for your suggestion, I have added it to my list of future video recommendations!
Your videos are so helpful to us … the large population of aging baby boomers! Thank you for all your free content. I’m so happy to have come across your channel. Congratulations🎉on your marriage! Wishing you and your spouse a life of joy, happiness and health! 🎉
Hi there - I'm pleased you came across my channel too! Thank you for your kind congratulations, it means a lot to us. We're sending best wishes your way :)
Great video! I’m recovering from a fractured elbow and have been doing kickbacks as part of my PT. This alternative looks like it would be much more helpful in regaining my strength. I’ll follow up with my physical therapist and add it into my treatment regimen. Thank you!
I find your channel informative. One helpful addition to Romanian deadlift is to position your butt close to a wall for positive feedback ie., to signal when you have reached the end of the movement.
I keep coming back to this. The three alternative exercises, Tricep Overhead Extension, Single-loaded Side Bends, and the Romanian Deadlift have become 3 key exercises in my Will-inspired Workout!❤
I am 71 and after 40 years of being a gym rat I had to quit. Tried several on line workout videos to get back into it without stressing my damaged shoulders and wrists. But nothing has been as helpful as your videos. I’m finding it hard to fatigue my muscles without putting pressure on shoulders and wrists. If your book helps me deal with this depressing problem. I will order it for sure. I am so happy to have found your channel! Thank you for all you do!❤
Learn so much from yr explanations & demonstrations. I'm making sm of d mistakes described here & glad I hv d opportunity to learn where I went wrong & do d exercises more effectively. Tq ❤
7:48 I have to agree with your opinion on these 3 exercising techniques....time wasting exercise won't give anyone their desired results Great videos, very informative
First time here. Thank you for the tips. I will be visiting again. These are doable. Im needing to add strength into my journey. 30 days in with brisk walking. 50 and determine.
Interesting video as always 👍 One of the things that helped me with the RDL was an explanation of how the hip hinge worked, anterior to posterior tilt. Pre-ordered the update to my copy of your book.
So pleased to hear you found my video helpful. Thank you so much for ordering my updated book, I hope you find it packed full of new, interesting, and beneficial content!
Thank you for this video. Working out has been my routine since I was in my 20s. Now, I am gonna hit 60 next year, I am feeling the age and realizing that I need to change the way I work out. Your video helps a lot. I would like to request a video for muscle gaining work out or muscle retention workout for someone who is in the late 50s to early 60s, especially for women. Thank you and I'm looking forward to more videos like this one.
Terrific presentations, including your well-paced voice! Will be adding a single dumbbell oblique to my routine. Ordered your book earlier today. What are your comments for using an overhead cable for tricep work? Starting with lower arms extended at the waist, I pull down fully, then return to the starting position, both movements are slow. 3 sets of 9 repetitions works well for me. Looking forward to reading and using your book!👍
Your channel just popped up today and I'm glad it did. I subscribed. I did two of these exercises incorrectly and I will be changing them now. thanks so much for the information.
02/09/24 Thanks so much for your information. I’ve watched lots of your videos and found all very helpful. It seems to be very difficult to get this kind of help and info. Your presentation skills are excellent, informative but enjoyable. Please continue with your advice and help.❤
Tricep kickback, I like them. Workouts are like dating, everyone has their own taste. I've done this exercise for 20 years, it gets the burn and results fast.
I just found this channel and I absolutely love it! Thanks so much for your patience in explaining the exercises. This will help me be more confident in going to the gym after 50. I pre ordered your book. Looking forward to reading.
So pleased to hear you've enjoyed my channel, it's great that this will build your confidence in the gym. Thank you for pre-ordering my book, I hope you find it most interesting and useful when it arrives!
I am 69 and recently started including resistance bands in my exercise routines, but they are not as intuitive as I thought they might be. Can you recommend some routines. Thanks. Love the channel, very informative.
Hi there - I have the following videos which may be of interest! ua-cam.com/video/RVmIAW9_Yno/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/HzOJxLMbS6Y/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/-QMQQR5cPfU/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/Op4JFeHvE5I/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/Z9-VEzx-8mA/v-deo.html
I heard that Bruce Lee messed up his back really bad with weighted good mornings. The legend is he did it in a fight with a rival, which sounds more epic but he spent the remainder of his years with chronic back pain from good mornings. Not relevant I know but kind of fun fact for male boomers.
I did that exercise for a few weeks several years ago and somehow messed up my jaw. It would slip out of place at night lying down trying to sleep. Had to stop working out for a year and for years afterward I would often bite my cheek while eating. Horrible exercise.
For tricep kickbacks I use resistance cords or bands.The use of resistance cords maintains constant resistance on the tricep especially if you pre stretch the cord or band 4-6 inches( at the start of the movement). My oblique bends are accomplished with resistance cords or bands which keep constant resistance on the muscle throughout the movement.Of course,I do one side at a time per Wills suggestion. I ditch Good Mornings in favour of the R.Deadlifts but use the resistance cords that are on board my resistance cord exercise machine. I can vary the weight load with the nine resistance cords that my exerciser has but you can use individual resistance cords or bands sans exercise machine. Wills video here is very well done and helpful for us over fifties seniors. Thanks Will,you' re awesome!
I do not seem to be able to scroll down?? However, I do want to receive your tips. Your book is on its' way to me. Thank you, bye the way, you're great!
Darn. The woman I follow for weight workouts always does those overhead triceps extensions. I hate them. My neck feels all bunched up. This is a very helpful video. Everything is so well explained.
Thanks for the heads-up on the tricep kickback, which I used to do a lot! The overhead tricep extension is something I've done, but without your detailed directions to do it correctly. I love learning the why and how of what parts of the same muscle get worked in specific exercises. It's the guidance I needed to get me exercising at home. I thought I NEEDED certain targeted muscle machines.
Everything you said seems logical to me but I think the advice should go for all, not just the over 50's. For the record I am 64 and have spent a lot of my life pushing and pulling weights which I still do.
Just ran across this video and I am thankful I did because I have been looking for a more effective way to firm up my ‘bat wings’. Traditional push backs have not produced results (now I know why) so am going to do the workout you suggested. Thanks! Subscribed.
Hi Will, thanks for your informative videos, specific to us aged over 50, I have downloaded the video and look forward to watching it. I have also pre-ordered your new book, good luck with that, looking forward to receiving it soon. I have recently started a fitness regime at the age of 59, trying to prepare myself to be fitter and stay mobile.
Hi there - I'm so pleased to hear you've found my videos and routines helpful. Thank you for ordering my book, I hope you find it packed full of useful and interesting information to help you achieve your goal of staying fit and mobile!
Will, your videos are always great, but I have a request …. Please don’t do the blurry background with the camera. It’s really strenuous on my aging eyes! Thanks for everything you do for us over 50s!
Very useful info. Love the new additions. Sooo professional. At least now l know how to get the most from weights. Great alternatives and explanations. Thanks Will.
At 53 and Good Mornings are my number one warmup, before I touch any deadlifts or squats. I have 40 years of gym experience, I am Personal Trainer and I have coached and competed in 5 combat sports. Good Mornings work well. Specially as a warmup for heavy compound exercises. Don't believe everything they tell you. I do not recommend going heavy on good mornings though. But I highly recommend as one of the warmups for your lower back. You can save many injuries related to deadlifts and squats. It is only 3 days since I last saw a pro walking out of gym with back hurting, when going to squats with too little warmup, using just stick and moving it around... He would of avoid that most likely by doing some good mornings first. With Good mornings you get some actual light muscle work and light stretch for lower back and hamstrings, which play major part in avoiding injuries in the following heavy compound exercises.
Hi I am 56 years old. Following your exercises for sometime now. I am suffering from shoulder ( right) and upper arm pain for last one month now. Ultrasound findings are superaspinatis tendinosis and subacromial bursitis. Doing physio, but night pain is not going away. Now doctor advised for cortisone injection. Could you plz tell some exercises for shoulder pain, especially at night. Thanks
Thank you for providing good alternatives. I believe the problems arise from thinking that weights, cable resistance machines, and resistance bands are all interchangeable. Something like a tricep kickback might be effective with a band attached to a door handle, providing more resistance during the lower arc. And I very distinctly remember a circuit machine for the side to side oblique exercise that required us to push down on each side, with pneumatic resistance. The handle that was not being pushed did not provide a counterweight, but did provide a place to grip, and that allowed for the alternating exercise form without the issue of the weight. But bands, machines, and hand weights are not really completely interchangeable, and your video explains why so clearly - gravity! Cables and bands give their resistance regardless of the direction of gravity; hand weights work best when you do an exercise that has you working against it.
RDL are gold - and safe exercise. I do the triceps exercises lying on the bed with my arms with the dumbbells going down over the edge of the bed. In princip the same exercise (just horizontal 😉) but I will definitely try your variation- not always you are near a bed 😉Ordered your book by the way 👍
I've been doing triceps kickbacks at one time or another for 40 years. I do a variation, where I turn my hands inward as I raise the dumbbells until my palms are facing behind me. This allows for tremendous tension at the top of the exercise as it forced the triceps to flex with the arm full extended.
Interesting. I started using dumbbells, at home, in my teenage years because I wanted 1) to look good in my t shirts and swimsuits 2) I wanted to have enough strength to get thru just about anything life tossed my way. Now I'm (well) over 50. My entire strength-training life, I NEVER enjoyed the "triceps kickbacks" and always switched to the modification of above head, checking posture for shoulders down away from the ears and elbows tucked so they don't flop all over the place, and extending as you've shown here as being more effective. Often I do this slower up, controlled down one workout session, then controlled up, slower down, the next workout session.
Solid information, as we've come to expect from you, thank you. New graphics are quite neat, but here's another vote against the blurred background. Are you going to make a Kindle version of your book? Would definitely get a copy if you did (but can understand you might not want to). On a more frivolous note, this made me smile (2:01ish): "there's absolutely no gravity acting on it". We know what you meant but it does rather sound like you've discovered anti-gravity. Blame the physicist in me...

Thank you!!!!😊
Will you’re a gift. I’m totally addicted to all your videos. You are teaching all us seniors invaluable information. Thank you.
I am grateful for your videos and knowledge. I am 86 but still in tiptop shape because I have been exercising all my life
Amazing work!
Well done!❤❤
Don't do: tricep kickbacks (who knew!)
Do: overhead tricep extension (or skull crushers?)
Don't: double dumbbell side bend
Do: single dumbbell side bend (one side at a time)
Don't do: barbell good-mornings (those hurt!)
Do: Romanian deadlift
Thank you for this!!
You would be shocked (or not) how many people in health care don't know or care about the maladies of aging. I certainly didn't know when I was younger, but am getting educated about it now, and fast. You're a Godsend Will.
or even engage in the dialogue to learn more about aging, aside from joint aches
Me too. I share your videos with patients and friends
what a big truth
I have long thought that the reason old folks have a reputation for going on and on about their maladies is that they are constantly surprised by them. “Wait, I’m not old, this isnso strange and unexpected! I am in my 30s…”

Darn. The woman I follow for weight workouts always does those overhead triceps extensions. I hate them. My neck feels all bunched up.
This is a very helpful video. Everything is so well explained.
So pleased my video was able to validate your dislike for the exercise!
Love your advice and techniques Will. Just preordered your new book. Thanks for all you do.
Thank you so much for pre-ordering my book, I hope you find it packed full of interesting and valuable content!
Loved your channel and info. Preordered your book. Looking forward
I'm so pleased to hear you've enjoyed my videos. Thank you for ordering my book, I hope you find it packed full of interesting and useful information!
Thank you for these great useful tips. Starting my resistance training today after many years of stopping
Congratulations Will.All the best 🎉🎉❤❤🎉🎉
Thank you so much!
Thanks for the heads-up on the tricep kickback, which I used to do a lot! The overhead tricep extension is something I've done, but without your detailed directions to do it correctly. I love learning the why and how of what parts of the same muscle get worked in specific exercises. It's the guidance I needed to get me exercising at home. I thought I NEEDED certain targeted muscle machines.
Congratulations to you both, much happiness
Thank you so much!
Everything you said seems logical to me but I think the advice should go for all, not just the over 50's.
For the record I am 64 and have spent a lot of my life pushing and pulling weights which I still do.
Thank you. Bending forward causes me sciatica. I'm glad you gave alternatives but need other alternatives that won't cause sciatic flare.
You’re wearing a wedding ring 😳 good for you. When did this happen?🎉
Is it congratulations?
Good eye @adjmm 👍🏾. Congrats Will @HT-Physio😊 .
Thank you! The big day happened a few weeks ago - it was a very special day for all involved!
@@shirlstarg4477 Thank you so much!
Your welcome@@HT-Physio and again congratulations 💕🎉& blessings to you both 😊🙏🏾.
Ty for your free video ❤
Just ran across this video and I am thankful I did because I have been looking for a more effective way to firm up my ‘bat wings’. Traditional push backs have not produced results (now I know why) so am going to do the workout you suggested. Thanks! Subscribed.
So pleased to hear you'll be putting these suggestions to good use, thank you for subscribing!
Hi Will, thanks for your informative videos, specific to us aged over 50, I have downloaded the video and look forward to watching it. I have also pre-ordered your new book, good luck with that, looking forward to receiving it soon. I have recently started a fitness regime at the age of 59, trying to prepare myself to be fitter and stay mobile.
Hi there - I'm so pleased to hear you've found my videos and routines helpful. Thank you for ordering my book, I hope you find it packed full of useful and interesting information to help you achieve your goal of staying fit and mobile!
Will, your videos are always great, but I have a request …. Please don’t do the blurry background with the camera. It’s really strenuous on my aging eyes! Thanks for everything you do for us over 50s!
Despite the blurry background comment, I think there's great improvement in your videos these days. Keep It Up with necessary variations 👍
Great information and thanks for what you do.
It's my pleasure!
Love the content Will, am learning lots about the best exercises to try. 👏🏻👏🏻
Will Harlow, thanks 🤩Your knowledge is great and Your channel is amazing.

Hope you are making a decent living with these videos. You share a phenomenal amount of knowledge and experience. Def helping me
Thank you so much, I'm so pleased to hear that you've found value in the work I share!
Great video! I was just trying to figure out how to best work out my triceps this am and your video helped. Thank you!
So pleased my video came at the right time for you!
Thank you. Nice to see I’m doing 2 out 3 (#1 and #3) as you recommend and I do side crunches for the second one.
Love your channel. Great info for us over 50!
So pleased to hear you enjoy it!
Very useful info. Love the new additions. Sooo professional. At least now l know how to get the most from weights. Great alternatives and explanations. Thanks Will.
So pleased you like the new format and that the information was beneficial!
At 53 and Good Mornings are my number one warmup, before I touch any deadlifts or squats. I have 40 years of gym experience, I am Personal Trainer and I have coached and competed in 5 combat sports. Good Mornings work well. Specially as a warmup for heavy compound exercises. Don't believe everything they tell you. I do not recommend going heavy on good mornings though. But I highly recommend as one of the warmups for your lower back. You can save many injuries related to deadlifts and squats. It is only 3 days since I last saw a pro walking out of gym with back hurting, when going to squats with too little warmup, using just stick and moving it around... He would of avoid that most likely by doing some good mornings first. With Good mornings you get some actual light muscle work and light stretch for lower back and hamstrings, which play major part in avoiding injuries in the following heavy compound exercises.
Hi
I am 56 years old. Following your exercises for sometime now.
I am suffering from shoulder ( right) and upper arm pain for last one month now.
Ultrasound findings are superaspinatis tendinosis and subacromial bursitis.
Doing physio, but night pain is not going away.
Now doctor advised for cortisone injection.
Could you plz tell some exercises for shoulder pain, especially at night.
Thanks
Thank you for providing good alternatives. I believe the problems arise from thinking that weights, cable resistance machines, and resistance bands are all interchangeable. Something like a tricep kickback might be effective with a band attached to a door handle, providing more resistance during the lower arc. And I very distinctly remember a circuit machine for the side to side oblique exercise that required us to push down on each side, with pneumatic resistance. The handle that was not being pushed did not provide a counterweight, but did provide a place to grip, and that allowed for the alternating exercise form without the issue of the weight.
But bands, machines, and hand weights are not really completely interchangeable, and your video explains why so clearly - gravity! Cables and bands give their resistance regardless of the direction of gravity; hand weights work best when you do an exercise that has you working against it.
Clear and concise, well explained and demonstrated.
Thank you so much!
RDL are gold - and safe exercise. I do the triceps exercises lying on the bed with my arms with the dumbbells going down over the edge of the bed. In princip the same exercise (just horizontal 😉) but I will definitely try your variation- not always you are near a bed 😉Ordered your book by the way 👍
I am 58 years old and I don't specifically train arms at all. Curently using powerlifting style primary movements to get it all done!
I agree. If you want to save time, you can eliminate exercises that only work one muscle.
I've been doing triceps kickbacks at one time or another for 40 years. I do a variation, where I turn my hands inward as I raise the dumbbells until my palms are facing behind me. This allows for tremendous tension at the top of the exercise as it forced the triceps to flex with the arm full extended.
Great video. Subscribed
Interesting. I started using dumbbells, at home, in my teenage years because I wanted 1) to look good in my t shirts and swimsuits 2) I wanted to have enough strength to get thru just about anything life tossed my way. Now I'm (well) over 50. My entire strength-training life, I NEVER enjoyed the "triceps kickbacks" and always switched to the modification of above head, checking posture for shoulders down away from the ears and elbows tucked so they don't flop all over the place, and extending as you've shown here as being more effective. Often I do this slower up, controlled down one workout session, then controlled up, slower down, the next workout session.
Thank you for your help. Could you do a video on exercises to move lymph fluid in the arms? Due to surgery this is a large concern for me.
You can't do a triceps overhead if you can't lift your arm overhead due to shoulder problems. The triceps kick back is better.
Solid information, as we've come to expect from you, thank you.
New graphics are quite neat, but here's another vote against the blurred background.
Are you going to make a Kindle version of your book? Would definitely get a copy if you did (but can understand you might not want to).
On a more frivolous note, this made me smile (2:01ish): "there's absolutely no gravity acting on it". We know what you meant but it does rather sound like you've discovered anti-gravity. Blame the physicist in me...
This guy is amazing
And my keen getting better
