There’s this trend in the fitness industry right now towards “functional”, performance-oriented training, supposedly designed to make you stronger, faster, more explosive, jump higher, whatever.
And many people who start weight lifting over 50 erroneously come to believe that performing these types of exercises in their over-50 strength training program will keep them youthful.
Big mistake. You’re going to get hurt, and find out you don’t recover from injuries as well as you did when you were a kid.
Much better to strength train using tried-and-true exercises that are much simpler to perform, much safer, and way more effective, and then go apply that strength and engage in some physical activities that you enjoy.
And lo and behold, you’ve achieved the same goal of feeling youthful and staying a kid at heart - without the injuries.
In this video, I’ll go over 5 exercises not to do over 50, and what you can do instead to create an over 50 weight training program for yourself that is effective, safe, time-efficient, and sustainable.

I’ll be 65 in October, returned to the gym 2 years and 8 months ago, and I totally agree with you on the 5 exercises to avoid after 50.👍

I started weight training in high school and am still hitting it hard at 68 years-old. I've also been a gym manager and trained thousands of people over the years so i have a good deal of experience with many clients, both old and young. In my experience you are 100% correct about the exercises you listed here. As we age the selection of exercises we perform MUST change if we want to keep working out and avoid injuries.

I'm 73. A lot of good points. With regard to squats, I agree that holding a straight conventional bar can be rough on old shoulders. It was for me but, I bought a safety squat bar and it completely eliminated that problem. I also squat in a power rack with safety bars always in place at the proper height. Thanks for the vid

1st to Comment! Your channel came up on my feed. In and out of the gym all my life, back in at 61 and feel the aches and pains. I’ll be watching your videos, was surprised you didn’t mention TRX for body weight exercise options.

Pretty much agree. But for leg presses or whatever squat you do, unless your knees are bad should get the knees over the toes or you won't hit the quads much. Also, done right knees over toes strengthens the knees rather than degrade them as the popular advice "don't get knees over toes" would have it.

Hey Dave! It’s been a while since you’ve dropped one… keep ‘em coming 💪🏾🖖🏾 alrhough I must confess. I am GUILTY of the barbell squat, but I use a saftey Top Squat handle to protect the shoulders

The back extension is a good substitute for kettle bell swings. I don't have that big machine in my basement, though. But I do have a good selection of kettle bells.

After total double knee replacement, barbell squats are out of the question. I do sitting/standing squats instead. Box jumps? Fuggetaboutit! I couldn't jump rope as a kid. I tried kettlebell swings once. Didn't feel comfortable. Gorilla rows and halos are the only exercises I do with a kettlebell.

Dave - very good explanation of what not to do. Unfortunately I see all these things (I do not call them "exercises") at my gym every day. I cringed on you video's Olympic lifts. IMO these are also activities that should not be done by people under 50 either. I also think that kettle bell swings do not make you look cool, they just make you look dumb!
