mr.
Always get great info from your videos Jeff. I know you've addressed how to avoid lower back issues, but could you possibly do something on how to train/what exercises to do and avoid if your back is already snapped up. I have severe stenosis, arthritis, bone spurs, bulging discs, loss of disc space height at L4-5 and L5-S1. My pain is mainly down my right leg and not in my back other than an hour or so first thing in the morning. I've had a laminectomy/disectomy. New surgeon wants to do a fusion but I want to avoid that if at all possible. The first surgery did relieve some pain but I'm still taking oxycodone on a daily basis. I'm 58 years old and desperately want to get back in the gym and the golf course. Been through several courses of physical therapy, the last bout actually made me worse, causing pain in my foot which I didn't have before. I know I need to avoid any exercises where compressive force is coming down on my spine, no squats, deadlifts, overhead pressing. I think you are in a unique position as a trainer and a physical therapist to help me out. Hope to hear back from you. Thanks and keep the great info coming!

Bands are great and I use them all the time because of the resistance curve. Admittedly I use them more for toning but if I'm doing a 6-8 rep range with a heavy weight and then finish off with 20 reps of a moderately difficult band then that'll be enough for me. Plus they're great for travelling with, very dynamic, easy to create resistance exercises and train you in a different way. At the end of the day; if it resists my range of motion then it is doing something and that is better than nothing.

I'm doing high intensity at 75 yr old. Dr Doug McGuff recommends a week recovery time now that I'm strong enough to actually begin hurting the muscle. Are there any -filler exercises that won't interrupt the recovery process? I'm doing low seated rows on machine, seated chest press on machine, seated pulldown on cable, overhead press on machine, and seated leg press on machine. Dr McGuff calls this the big 5 and says this is all we need for all the muscles and cardio.

the phase that Jeff speaks to can be found in Ax2. This phase is a killer, and forces your body to respond. I can feel muscles recovering for two days after a given day. This is the sign that I overloaded and did good a job of it.
I never thought of training this way, and the way Jeff coaches is fantastic. Just when you think you may plateau, surprise your body responds. Living AX style never gets old.

Actually, it seems to me the workout for biceps at 2: 35 makes the band do the opposite of what it should (it reduces the force from mid to top instead adding it. No bad intentions in my comment, you can evaluate by yourselves. I think an easy fix would be just to stand/sit opposite of shown -> face to the wall, so when you pull, you really stretch the band. Thanks fo the inspiring idea!

+ATHLEAN-X Can you make a video about how often each muscle group can be trained? For example back in the year when you released Ultimate Arms, you mentioned that doing arm workout 2-3 times a week is a path to failure. Also if there's a higher benefit in training some muscle groups twice a week?
Thanks in advance, greetings from Lithuania.
Keep up the good work!

I wonder if Jeff realized his mistake with the dumbbell curl and just decided to own it and roll with it. Pretty sure the band should have been anchored out in front if he wanted increased resistance at the top. I get the gist of the video, but if we're going to be putting the science back in exercise, this could have used a little editing.

I-ve worked out for 50 years, beginning with old skool metal springs, well before bands were available. They can be used for any exercise, if there are enough bands/resistance. Whether they work for size like weights isn-t answerable yet, but I-d say ya. This guy-s one of the few I-ve seen online who actually knows something, like me.

How would I use a band to assist me in pull-ups? I'm getting old and have also gotten out of shape, so I can't do full pull-ups until I lose weight an build muscle. I think a band could help compensate for some of the extra weight I've put on (fat, so I can do full pull-ups. But I don't know how to set the band up to do that.

2: 24 I disagree, it would make sense if the band was attached underneath the arm, or just in front of yourself so that when the end of the movement gets easier, the band actually pulls in the opposite direction of where you wanna get that weight. Really great idea though, i'm gonna add this to my routine
