Definitely appreciate this video. I exercise, but I'm no expert. I'm still doing most of these exercises because I thought I needed to lift heavy using compound lifts to stimulate the right hormonal environment for hypertrophy. So, I do squats, deadlifts, bench, shoulder presses etc because I thought I had to. Is this a misplaced concern? I'm 47. Will I still get the natural testosterone and GH spikes when eliminating these? Is thinking about the hormonal environment misplaced?

Good video. And not keen on the traditional deadlift either, especially if you're older, and need to be more careful. But the Romanian deadlifts with dumbells is good for ensuring reasonable core strength, balance and flexibility. But you're right: I'm not expecting any real muscle gains doing this, just using it to maintain a solid core to support other exercises that involve movement.

Excellent upload.
I kept needing to concentrate on the topics because the don't be this guy reminded me so much of my uncle Chucky (Providence native who moved to Del Rey Beach.
Dressed just like that to go to the gym during the 90's. Only difference was the gold chains he'd also wear. lots of gold chains - after pouring on the cologne!
Haha!

What about us that are nearly 60 or older? I came back to training in my early 40s, that was smooth sailing. But then I had a 13 year break, and coming back this time my body was not happy, shocked and injured. Having a hard time adjusting to the new reality of an older body that is not the same as it were in younger years.

I can't do them anymore - and I'm 54. I have hip problems - but those are genetic. I will get surgery done soon. I love squats - way better and so many variations.

It's been difficult mentally for me to let go of some of these exercises. Especially the deadlift and bench press. It just doesn't seem right not to do them.

I always saw Compound lifts as strength builders for the most part. If the sole goal is hypertrophy, they don't make much sense risk/reward wise I guess.

The other benefit of dumbbells to barbells for chest press is not needing a spotter. You can just drop the dumbbells to your sides if you need to bail.
