    In this video, I share recovery methods primarily used be older lifters. You will often hear these people complaining about their “old man joints”. Despite this, they have still found ways to train hard and acquire incredible gains without experiencing pain. This fact strikes an important question. If enhanced recovery can occur with beat up, older lifters, why not use these methods regardless of age/condition? Improved recovery is always a plus, so start right now! These tricks are NOT essential, but can still help regardless.

    Yep I’m 42 and still getting stronger. I’ve probably missed 2 scheduled training sessions in the last 5 years and I perform most of the things suggested. I prefer dynamic stretching type things and deep tissue massage about once every 6 months. Secret is work hard and use moderate volume. You won’t get as strong as possible, but you’ll still be one of the stronger guys in most gyms. 4 me that means 4 workouts per week 60-90 minutes max and if I have time I swim for 30 minutes after squat and deadlift days it’s noticeably helpful.

    • @cheesecake9638
      @cheesecake9638 6 років тому

      richw76 Yes I feel the biggest thing which is not preached enough is consistency. Seems like you've got a good idea what you on about with the recovery and swimming ect.

    • @richw76
      @richw76 6 років тому

      Cheese Cake so I'm not someone that can be hungry all the time, I've found by trial and error. 4 days is perfect for me. Doing 4 days I can eat what I want within reason. Mostly lean protein, fruits and vegetables, but if I want a few gummy bears or a slice or two of pizza with my son, I can rock my 2-4 pack, not bad for 42. Also more days, or do a sheiko style high volume and my muscles actually recover but my joints get beat to hell, and I always tell the young guys, when you're 16 you bend, at 40, you break, and break badly. You may never fully recover. I've done a heavy single once in two years. I wanted to do a 350lb bench, 400lb squat, 550 deadlift by 40. I got two, didn't do the 400lb squat for over a year after. But that's ok, I did it, and next week went back to 8s, 5s, and triples. 😊

So that would be great Alex.

    It's funny, my Deadlift was stuck at around 500-520 for about a year when I was doing deadlifts twice a week from the floor. Decided to do only block pulls on one day, and normal deadlifts the next day. It's been about 5 months since then, and my last meet I did, about 3 weeks ago, I hit 575 at about an 8rpe. I 100% agree with you to not do pulls from the floor more than once a week

    • @marks6268
      @marks6268 6 років тому +1

      When you pulled 2x per week did you do the same intensity each day? I was planning on starting but figured that if one day was heavy and another day was lighter(distant variation with lower weight) I wouldn't run into any problems.

    • @matthewwells5098
      @matthewwells5098 6 років тому +1

      mark it varied in intensity and reps kind of like a DUP style approach. Far away from a meet I'll just do straight sets at a moderate intensity, then the closer to the meet I got, I started to work up to a moderately heavy single at about 8rpe, then back off sets

    • @krakistophales
      @krakistophales 6 років тому

      The only caveat I would ad to this is that if you do pull from the floor on the other day in the week, do like RDLs or SLDs with much lower weight. This has massive carryover to the regular pull but won't chew you alive like regular pulls off the floor. If you don't have the flexibility or desire to do those, then definitely block pulls/rack pulls would be excellent, but I would also venture to say that starting those at just below the knee would have optimal carryover to the dead vs. above the knee.

  • @DCJayhawk57
    @DCJayhawk57 6 років тому +4

    I would say for elbow work/prehab as well, don't neglect doing extra light forearm extensor work on your days off. Expand your Hand bands from Iron Mind are great, and Sidewinder Extreme (although pricey) is great on a lighter setting with focus on the extension instead of flexion. Doing band press downs doesn't actually help my occasional elbow pain because my triceps tendons aren't the problem, it's tonic forearm flexors from doing so many heavy pulling movements.
