Great video and exercises. I find the problem with people over 40 is they are either lazy and under active or overachievers. I am 52 years old, walk about 3000-8000 steps a day, use the home gym with dumbbells, loop bands, calisthenics, and weighted vest. Usually, 4 work outs a week with 14-18 sets, most exercises are two sets to failure 1 warm up and 1 working set, 3 second tempo with stretch and contraction works well, the main lifts like squats, deadlifts, shoulder press, etc, I try to rep out a moderate weight on a 3rd set for say 30 reps or more, when I can likely only get half that, have grit and push yourself. My goal is to do 150 push up sets, like I did in the Army in my 20’s.

Yesterday a 55 yr old male crossfitter in our gym had a fatal heart attack on the treadmill preparing video to enter a competition. I guess we should never forget why we are doing sports. Conpetitors think of themselves as warriors but unfortunately they are not. Ego lifting or ego anything is harmful for your longevity and health.

guys 40 is not some magical age when your physique goes to shit. I'm 44 and in the best shape of my life. you dont need to reduce your workout to these three exedrcises at all. i'd just be careful with joints and heavy weight compound exercises such as deadlift. you can do it but make sure ur joints are ok.

Um okay. anything is better than nothing I guess and this is a great way to start out but once you get halfway decently fit I don't think
just 3 is optimal if you want really good results. And I'm 61 and a Certified Personal Trainer and Certified Strength and Conditioning Coach

Can't do split squats, though. Bad balance, bad mobility. Not to mention I'm not strong enough to take my weight on one leg. Can't do those rows for similar mobiliy reasons - what's wrong with seated cable rows It's literally the same movement, with a more stable platform

I think these are great for getting back into lifting. You're keeping it simple to build consistency and minimizing the chances of burnout. After a few months, I'd think one would want to add a few more exercises.

Regardless of age, this is probably a bit light. Think any complete workout routine should include 1) Vertical Push, 2) Horizontal Push, 3) Vertical Pull, 4) Horizontal Pull, 5) Squat, 6) Hinge, 7) Carry.

the reason the BSLS hits so hard is because it is (nearly) a single leg exercise, working against your full body weight. whereas a two leg squat variation, is only half as heavy a load.

Nice science explanation but after a year you'll walk against a wall. I at least need more then 3 exercises and I'm 52 years old. Good exercises, good explanation but not enough.

Question. When you do compound movements, how do you know that you're hitting all the muscles evenly and not just tiring ones out quickly that compensate for weakers muscles

Over the years BSS has become my favorite leg excercise. It's one of the most painful excercise in my opinion, but it consistently gives stimulus to my quads no matter what.

fun fact: I have herniated discs (got surgery for 2, and my bent over rows last just 2-3 reps, and then it becomes a pendlay row because of lower back fatigue/pain lol

You're really milking these over 40 videos, in a minimalist approach the big 6 lifts would be better than 3 exercises, I do agree with isolations not being necessary

Tried Bulgarian Split Squats for the first time yesterday. Right after doing heavy back squats. It was a disaster. I loved it! Most humbling exercise indeed.

Lost me with the BSS. Plenty more exercises that are better and easier to conduct than this. Otherwise, don’t disagree with the other two movements.

Turning 40 this year but these videos still help me now. Been doing the 3-day minimal routine that you later mentioned, and it's perfect for me.
