Words to live by, if you’re wise. During my younger days of training, I routinely ignored pain, living by “motivational” sayings such as “No pain, no gain!” and “Pain is weakness leaving the body!” So wrong! However, thanks to the sort of advice and the correctives such as those found here at Red Delta, I can avoid a lot of that pain, and some of my long-term pain has disappeared. That’s the good news. Here’s the bad news: by not listening to my body (pain) during my 20s, 30s, and 40s, I incurred permanent damage in my spine and many of my joints. These days (I’m in my sixties now) pain and debility are constant companions - as are physicians, specialists, my local pharmacist, and my health insurance folks. No bueno. Still working out, but missing some of the fun stuff I could be doing IF I had not been such a meathead when I was younger. Sigh. Listen to Matt, he’s got it right.
Sorry to hear of your stuggles there Mick but super bravo to you for still doing what you can and working with your body rather than against it. Most other folks would be sitting on the couch telling everyone how they are too old to do much more than walk to the fridge for another beer
RedDeltaProject - Thank you for your kind and encouraging words. Your channel (and your latest book) help keep me interested and motivated to stay fit! I must also admit to being one of those people who can only have so many days (about two) without a workout before feeling like insanity is setting in. Consequently, injuries and illness make me looney; well, loonier than my day-to-day baseline lunacy. 🤪 This is just one of several reasons that avoiding new injuries and not aggravating old ones are sooooo important to me. Your Red Delta Project is part of what’s keeping me moving, and on the Path of Less Lunacy these days, so, again, many thanks, Matt!
Never ignore the pain. This is so true. I am 50 today, but nearly 25 years ago, I partially dislocated my right shoulder due to a bench press mistake. Although I consulted at the time of this incident, the phyician didn't seem to be overly concerned about my condition and simply said: ''If it hurts too much, we can always do a cortisone shot''. As the years went by, I suffered chronically from tendinitis in that shoulder while gradually losing ROM. Two years ago, I consulted a physiotherapist who gave me exercises and said it would improve over time. One year ago, I consulted a second physiotherapist because the pain was becoming unbearable to the point that I could no longer sleep properly. He also programmed exercises for me to perform which included stretches. Although the exercises had helped, progress eventually came to a halt. That's when he suggested I get an x-ray to see what was hindering my progress. I was shocked to learn that my loss of mobility and pain was due to osteoarthritis of the glenoid joint of my right shoulder. This was the beginning of a quest to find a solution to an incapacitating problem. To top it all off, I went to see an orthopedic surgeon that told me I could be a candidate for a shoulder replacement. For the life of me, I never would have suspected that I would eventually have to live with a chronic and degenerative condition like osteoarthritis. Nine months ago, the solution came to me in the form of a regenerative therapy known as PRP therapy (Platelet Rich Plasma). I will spare you the details but suffice to say that the physician which performed this intervention was the only medical professional that was able to truly help me. Although I kept telling to everyone that I strongly suspected an injury that was responsible for most of my demise, nobody would listen except for the one that treated me. Sometimes, getting the proper medical diagnostic and treatment is hard to come by. You must knock at many doors before you can find someone competent enough to make a difference. Today, I am living for the vast majority of the time wih very little pain or discomfort. Every day I work towards improving my mobility and every two months or so, I get to see an increase in end ROM. I know I've been rambling alot here so I will end by reiterating what Matt said: ''Respect the pain because pain certainly won't respect you''. No one is going to give you a medal because you have stubbornly tortured yourself.
Thank you so much for sharing your story FD, you're so right. Getting an accurate diagnosis can be quite the process but one that's well worth it in the end. Glad to hear you're on the mend!
Well said! I always had wrist pain when getting up from a push up, I convinced myself It would go away. Never did. When I took your advice on focusing the force running through the hand it made a MASSIVE difference. I could do push-ups any time with no wrist warmup with 0% pain!

Another great video as always. However I am very cautious about chiropractors. They aren't doctors and they aren't medically trained. Worth researching them before anyone decides to visit them.
Please don't see chiropractor, they are not trained in science and are not recognised by any branch of medicine. They are a branch of the holistic and wellness industry. Physios and orthapedic surgeons are legitimate. They have their down side though (long wait times and expensive).
I think you should share some of those exercises. I can't find anyone to pinpoint the cause of my 20 year knee pain and I've literally lost my mind already
Having watched videos about how to pull in to a lunge and pulling into the centre with you muscle while pull ups and press ups and hand strength videos by you I'm now confused with you now pretending you didn't know why you had these aches and pains and a chiropractor helped you're figure it out.
Love this. Especially number 2 - had a groin injury from football. Spent 8 weeks getting no where trying to rehabilitate it myself. Went to a physio...got me back on the pitch stronger than ever in 6 weeks! 😅
Hey Matt, Did you say in one of your previous videos that lunges are better to teach you to engage your glutes and hips during squats? Do you recommend I do lunges to teach myself to engage my hips and glutes more?
What if I have lumbar spine pain due to sitting all day and my doctor's appointment is in 6 months? :( so far bridging helped me, but before seeing this video I was ready to ignore and "train away" the pain... Now I'm not so sure anymore
Get a better doctor! Find one that will see you sooner. I have 3 herniated disc in my lumber spine and other problems there. Bridging helps me with pain relief in that area. How often and how long do you bridge and how long have you been doing it for?
@@martincash4005 yep I am aware of it although I've not got there yet myself. Not read up on it yet. Suffering from a bit of information overload at the moment (and a torn meniscus) so I'm going to go back to basics... Hope you get it sorted mate. One of the things that held me with it was taking a grease the groove approach to bridging. A little and often helped me much more than one full session a day.
Martin Cash - My lumbar spine, among other things, has been a mess for a long time. IMHO, before you start doing anything with your back/to fix your back, e.g. bridges, strengthening, etc., you really need to get an accurate diagnosis of the problem. For example, you say sitting all day is the cause of your pain, which can be true (pretty common), but how do you KNOW this is the cause? How do you KNOW what the condition of your spine is? If you have disc degeneration, a herniated disc, or a bulging disc, doing some types of bridging, planks, or strength exercises (deadlifts, for example) could wind up making things worse - for example, if you have something nasty like a ruptured or bulging disc and it moves due to pressure from an arched bridge, or a deadlift, that disc could impinge or compress a nerve/nerve root; this could lead you from “bad pain” to “excruciating pain,” (daily, hourly) radiating pain, loss of sensation or function in your leg, and/or a whole slew of problems which might require injections, surgery, etc. - and even with those interventions, a lifetime of chronic pain. Without an MRI and an expert opinion (yes, they’ll probably first do an x-ray, but that won’t give them a good picture of your discs, just your vertebrae - the x-ray usually is the “justification” a doc needs to get insurance to pay for the MRI) you’re gambling with your lower spine - don’t do it! 😬 Regarding your wait time to see a doc: it depends on your state/geographic location and your insurance, but if you’re trying to see a specialist, 8-12 weeks isn’t, in my experience, unusual, and six months doesn’t surprise me (health care delivery and quality in the USA, if that’s where you are, is not what it could be, as you probably already know, but that’s another topic). For primary care physicians, or general practitioners, if you’re an established patient, anything over four weeks would be frustrating for me and would send me in search of a new doc, if I could find one. MAIN POINT: if you wait to get an accurate diagnosis, you may avoid a lifetime of hell - the lumbar spine is nothing to take lightly, I’m one of millions of people who are living proof of this. Matt here at RED DELTA PROJECT has some back exercises that, generally speaking, don’t pose too much of a threat to the spine, e.g. bridging with a flat back, and other exercises that don’t load the spine while it’s in a bad position, i.e. twisted, or bent - I use them; however, it is your body, you are responsible for the outcomes of your actions (a part of being a free, autonomous person, which is one of the basic concepts for Matt’s Red Delta Project), so please be wise, be patient, and don’t cause yourself permanent damage, brother! I hope my words are of some help. Good luck. 🙏
Jeff Cavaliere (AthleanX) has repeatedly warned against some specific exercises(i.e. leg extensions,upright rows,behind the neck presses).He firmly believes that THERE ARE some exercises that noone (who cares about their joint health) should be doing.He provides detailed explanations for this viewpoint of his (as he usually does for all of his claims),and seems trustworthy in general due to his physio background and extensive knowledge. So what you say that "very rarely" the exercise itself is to blame, possibly contrasts with Jeff's take on the subject and may be misguiding (considering that leg extensions,upright rows,behind the neck presses,etc are exercises VERY commonly performed by gym-goers).
Some exercises do inherently carry more risk than others for sure. That, and some things are just plain unnecessary so there's no point in doing them. Behind the neck pull-downs being such an example. They can be more risky and I do believe they just aren't as effective so there's little point in practicing them. But again, it boils down to application and how the exercise is done. In some cases leg extensions are the best medicine for some folks in physical therapy settings. So it's much more of a risk/reward ratio deal and best assessed on a case by case basis.
@@RedDeltaProject Thank you for your reply. I've recently discovered your channel,and I like the fact that your videos are short and to the point (and informative,of course).Keep up the good work.
I've had pain in my hips and knees and lower back for the past 5 years and I've been sent to a rheumatologist and orthopedic and all they seem to want to do is to fill me with drugs I know there must be something better. I have a huge imbalance in my pelvic region. Live in pain. You mentioned you saw a chiropractor. I think that's the missing link in my pain management. I think I will try it. Thanks for sharing all your insight and wisdom.
Sorry to hear you're battling such conditions. unfortunately, you probably know more about those now than I do as my knowledge on such things is pretty limited.
You're more than welcome curious gee always good to be reminded of how things work instead of continuing to beat our head against the wall in frustration.
Or a chiro or physical therapist. Hopefully, someone who knows how to holistically treat the issue rather than suggesting just drugs of exercise avoidance
While I agree mostly there is a point I am not fully in sync. As a strong opinion it is, there is a story behind it. it was 2013 and I was doing CrossFit and getting pretty strong while performing a DeadLift with around 130 kg, I had a sudden pain in my abdomen. I went to a doctor, got an ultrasound to check if it was a hernia - it wasn't and he professionally recommended stopping training for 1 to 3 months, and taking anti-inflammatory pills. Not to say I lost a lot of muscle and physical condition. Then, I went back, and as soon as I raised a bit more than 60 kg with a DeadLift, the pain returned... I got massages, but nothing helped. I switched to bodybuilding, with high volume but low weight as "there was something" and as soon as I tried again Bam! intense pain coming back... I went to the Zurich Sport Klinic, got 2x rounds of therapy sessions with physiotherapists, another Eco, and even an MRI. All doctors even sport had no clue and recommended anti-inflammatory pills. Until I got to a non-doctor fitness professional certified in mobility. He told me "it might be that your hip flexor has a tendency to inflame, put a kettlebell over it while laying down and move your knee to your chest rotate to a side, and extend it. and repeat" - on 2 days I could train again, while that pain other times forbid me from even walking properly for weeks... My take on it, sometimes you need a medical specialist, but when it involves joints, muscles and tendons you need somebody focused on it and a doctor won't do unless it is really a medical issue, so I would check first a mobility expert. It took me 5 years of lost training and pain to learn this (2013 to January 2018...)
Spot on, ideally, the more specialized the specialist is the better. This especially goes for someone well versed in the sort of activities you're doing
This is OG channel mate...you are addressing everything am going through and have done so far. Haven't been to chiropractic yet though...good advice. Thx. Will do. Also is there suspension track workouts anywhere out there these are really powerful and impactfull as I have seen in your other videos...Great stuff mate 🙌🙏🏼
This was golden, definitely deserves to find its way into the fixed algorithms, so I’ll leave this comment in support...may the youtube liberals enforce this message, thank you. This ad was paid for by nobody and delivered to you by an employee on the clock who is supposed to be working.
I have hip back and knee pain. My GP has sent me to 3 different specialists. I have been diagnosed with OA and Scoliosis for sure and my GP thinks i have Ankylosing Spondilitis and Reaumotoid Arthritis as well. I've worked out with weights and calisthenics for 40 years. I'm trying to just be able to function and work but still want to workout. Any advice for a confused soul?
That's a lot to work with James! I would look into suspension training style exercise. It should help you manage the resistance of most any exercise while also giving you the freedom to move as your body can and improve mobility and stability.
I feel pain in the elbows with muscle-ups, but no other exercise. I really feel like they are not good for the body, that fast switch from pull to push and all...
I'm with you, I much prefer to keep my push and pull movements separate, but just to play devils advocate, a lot of the elbow issues come from flaring the elbows out too much on the transition wich can transfer the force from the back to the elbows and shoulder joints
Thanks Justino Rosas! I just tried doing a muscle up the other day with a buddy and it was like the first time I've tried doing one in over a year. It wasn't a pretty sight that's for sure! You're probably better off getting more effective muscle up advice from someone like Al kavadlo, Cali-movement. they are much better at the move and are probably a better source of info on it
For sure, jumping into a level of intensity you're not ready for is part of the recipe for disaster. Here's the actual recipe for workout disaster for those following along at home: - Start with having no real plan and just wing it at the gym - Decide you're too busy to bother warming up your body and mind properly - What you do actually do to warm up does actually very little to really prepare you for the activity to come. - Be sure to mix in liberal amounts of digital distractions from your phone and other screens near by - Work yourself hard until you just feel tired and worn out. - Reward yourself by over eating and being sedentary for several days afterward.
@@RedDeltaProject that's the point.... Now, let me tell you my last experience: I have been feeling joints pain for the last few weeks; so I started warming up for around 10 minutes before my workouts... The results are amazing!!! I have been training high reps and high sets, and my reps have increased incredibly, even my strength! What you say is very true, sometimes not warming up in order to save time is the worst decision.... Even with limited time warming up is a must...
So very true. Although I've learned that "form" meaning good technical position is only part of the equation. Back when I was having my joint issues I had a lot of folks look at my form and it was right on point. The problem was my tension wasn't very balanced and I was holding that form through compensation rather than strength. Lesson learned.
I would have NEVER of guessed you were over 40. Funny how fitness helps keep one looking young.

Words to live by, if you’re wise.
During my younger days of training, I routinely ignored pain, living by “motivational” sayings such as “No pain, no gain!” and “Pain is weakness leaving the body!”
So wrong!

These days (I’m in my sixties now) pain and debility are constant companions - as are physicians, specialists, my local pharmacist, and my health insurance folks.
No bueno.
Still working out, but missing some of the fun stuff I could be doing IF I had not been such a meathead when I was younger.

He told me "it might be that your hip flexor has a tendency to inflame, put a kettlebell over it while laying down and move your knee to your chest rotate to a side, and extend it. and repeat" - on 2 days I could train again, while that pain other times forbid me from even walking properly for weeks...
My take on it, sometimes you need a medical specialist, but when it involves joints, muscles and tendons you need somebody focused on it and a doctor won't do unless it is really a medical issue, so I would check first a mobility expert.
It took me 5 years of lost training and pain to learn this (2013 to January 2018...)
Spot on, ideally, the more specialized the specialist is the better. This especially goes for someone well versed in the sort of activities you're doing
This is OG channel mate...you are addressing everything am going through and have done so far. Haven't been to chiropractic yet though...good advice. Thx. Will do. Also is there suspension track workouts anywhere out there these are really powerful and impactfull as I have seen in your other videos...Great stuff mate 🙌🙏🏼
So glad to help and thanks!
This was golden, definitely deserves to find its way into the fixed algorithms, so I’ll leave this comment in support...may the youtube liberals enforce this message, thank you.

lol, much appreciate the support!
I have hip back and knee pain. My GP has sent me to 3 different specialists. I have been diagnosed with OA and Scoliosis for sure and my GP thinks i have Ankylosing Spondilitis and Reaumotoid Arthritis as well. I've worked out with weights and calisthenics for 40 years. I'm trying to just be able to function and work but still want to workout. Any advice for a confused soul?
That's a lot to work with James!
I would look into suspension training style exercise. It should help you manage the resistance of most any exercise while also giving you the freedom to move as your body can and improve mobility and stability.
When I'm on the phone with my right arm I notice I have to switch arms.. I'm nervous it's arthritis..
You are over 40!? You look like you are in your 30s
I feel pain in the elbows with muscle-ups, but no other exercise. I really feel like they are not good for the body, that fast switch from pull to push and all...
I'm with you, I much prefer to keep my push and pull movements separate, but just to play devils advocate, a lot of the elbow issues come from flaring the elbows out too much on the transition wich can transfer the force from the back to the elbows and shoulder joints
Joint pain but how about pain in the ass
I think the Coronavirus will take care of a lot of that with this whole social distancing thing. 😉
How has this channel not blown up yet
Thanks for watching Alex Tran, please like and share to help spread the word :)
RedDeltaProject already on it
Just got my shirt today. Thanks Matt it fits great! And whoa over 40 would of never knew. Can you possibly do a muscle up video or
Thanks Justino Rosas!
I just tried doing a muscle up the other day with a buddy and it was like the first time I've tried doing one in over a year. It wasn't a pretty sight that's for sure!
You're probably better off getting more effective muscle up advice from someone like Al kavadlo, Cali-movement. they are much better at the move and are probably a better source of info on it
@@RedDeltaProject I'll check them out. Thanks budd ..yeah there not the easiest of moves for me as well
I would add improper warming before the workouts...
For sure, jumping into a level of intensity you're not ready for is part of the recipe for disaster.
Here's the actual recipe for workout disaster for those following along at home:
- Start with having no real plan and just wing it at the gym
- Decide you're too busy to bother warming up your body and mind properly
- What you do actually do to warm up does actually very little to really prepare you for the activity to come.
- Be sure to mix in liberal amounts of digital distractions from your phone and other screens near by
- Work yourself hard until you just feel tired and worn out.
- Reward yourself by over eating and being sedentary for several days afterward.
@@RedDeltaProject that's the point.... Now, let me tell you my last experience: I have been feeling joints pain for the last few weeks; so I started warming up for around 10 minutes before my workouts... The results are amazing!!! I have been training high reps and high sets, and my reps have increased incredibly, even my strength! What you say is very true, sometimes not warming up in order to save time is the worst decision.... Even with limited time warming up is a must...
Over 40??? You look like just over 30! wow
Thanks Anon!
What ? 40 ?!
Also to have a proper form in exercises.
So very true.
Although I've learned that "form" meaning good technical position is only part of the equation. Back when I was having my joint issues I had a lot of folks look at my form and it was right on point. The problem was my tension wasn't very balanced and I was holding that form through compensation rather than strength. Lesson learned.

YAY!!! Congrats and thanks for watching!
