For beginners, sure. I’m 42 and I work lift six days a week; push, legs, pull, push, legs, pull, off. Repeat. I also run 3x a week and walk at least 80 minutes every day. I recover just fine.
Although I will say recovery is very nuanced. It’s going to depend on your experience and your testosterone levels. General lifestyle, diet, and sleep all come into account also.
Hell no im better now than ever n push it harder than ever at 56 yrs
Why to listen skinny man talking about gym ?
I just turned 40 in the best shape of my life and the biggest lesson I’ve learned is that you don’t have to empty the tank in the gym or leave exhausted. A good 45 mins to an hour of solid effort is more than enough. Sometimes finishing your workout not being drained is a good thing.
Amazing
I do not agree
👍🏻
At almost 41, and as a newbie to the gym (after many years), I’m exercizing at least 5 times a week for 3 hours, while also on an OMAD diet (both hyperproteic and hypocaloric), since I need to lose fat besides putting on some muscles, and so far so good
Here’s the number tip. Train exactly how you’ve always been training if it’s always been working.
brawo!
I’m in my mid 50s and strength train about 4-5 days a week. I don’t go balls to the wall with it though.
Any tips for someone with torn ligaments, arthritis, and nerve damage?
Honestly I’ve never heard anything dumber than "ONLY 3-4 days a week for men over 40".
A man over 25 is a MIRACLE WORKER if he manages 3x a week.
Am i the only one thinking his chest is off somehow? The pecs are way too big or something…
What if I’m 39😂
Only 🤔
Pfaacts!
Hey hey hey Al. Thoughts on running and squats for knee health? Could you do a video on not wearing out ones knees Al?
I always prefer full body 1 day on & 1 day off cardio any kind. But that’s me
What if you’re like "F THAT" I’m doing a full 7 day workout, full body workout spite my age? Like I have the energy, but is it bad for me? Why would age dictate why I should cut back on my workouts?
He said don’t overdo it. You mean like exercising to the point your making internet videos for teens?
The struggle is real for 44 year old man. I love food! ❤
He runs like Minecraft!
What about two to three says strength two days kick boxing other days Kenpo karate’s im 45

I keep the rest period long (more than a minute and a half…sometimes 3mins). That helped me a lot.
Dude I need help. I’m going to follow you and see what happens.
Please suggest something for people with tennis elbow.
When you realize thats all they do. A day job/career to support working out.

Rewooo my friend 😮

(П.с. смотри русский Ютуб)
Lol it’s best for us older guys as if every man is equal lol and are we talking 41 or 60 huge different lmao u influencers or lack there of are hilarious…there are plenty of me OVER 40 strength training 5 to 6 days week a
I’m lazy, so I just do 2 days full-body per week. I only do 3 sets of 10 reps, but I go progressively heavier with each set trying to aim for not being able to fully complete the last set, maybe failing after about 7 or 8 reps. Normally I’m sore for a day or two after this, so need the rest anyway. 3 days a week I go for a long walk. Other than that try to drink about 2l of water per day, and to eat mostly home cooked meals with takeout or eating out once a week. I’ve tried to replace snacks with higher protein lower carb versions where available, like protein ice cream, protein chocolate, sweetened sodas instead of full sugar versions. Not exactly a muscle monster, but most people think I look good.
46 and still kickboxing/ muah thaiy..
I don’t think the number of days really matters much. It’s more about total volume per week. For example 5 days of 1 hour sessions is probably much lower volume than four days of 2-hour sessions. Also the amount of time spent in the gym doesn’t mean much either. As an older lifter you should be taking more time to rest between sets. That adds to total gym time even though it’s rest. Also you should be doing relatively lighter weights for higher reps. That also takes more time than higher weight and lower reps, even though it might be less volume. Basically just make sure you are recovering enough session to session, week to week. Shoot for maximum recoverable volume. Focus on sleep and good nutrition. If you are crazy sore all the time or tired all the time from your workouts, just reduce the volume. Again this doesn’t necessarily mean fewer days or shorter sessions.
Too much to soon can be bad , a little bit at a time slowly building your repituar .
57 is the new 53
I don’t understand how to only spend 30 minutes at the gym. It takes me 90 minutes with warm-up and cooldown to do my routine and I don’t have that many exercises. I’m new and am so confused how to get my volume in a half an hour
At 59, for 10 years I have spent no more than 1:15 in the gym. I begin walking on a 15% treadmill for 30 minutes at 2.0 MPH (no hands), with a HR of 135-140bpm.
I then choose 1 muscle group, performing 4 exercises with 8-12 reps, going to failure/forced reps on the last set of each exercise. (Days are: Back, Delts, Chest, Biceps, Triceps, and legs). Individually and targeted.
Bicep and Triceps days are almost like “rest days” and allow me to up cardio to 40 minutes on those days. This provides the opportunity to hit each muscle group twice in a 7 day period with adequate recovery.
NEVER take a rest day because it’s not necessary. Sometimes I will train 60-70 days in a row. Because my pre exhausting cardio is 30 minutes, and my lifting is 40 minutes.
Pair that with a small bowl of chicken/beef/lamb/shrimp and rice with corn and low fat cottage cheese at 12pm (500-600 calories), and a large bowl of the same at 7 or 8pm (about 1,200-1,500 calories) 6 days a week with a modest cheat meal on Sunday (a couple pieces of pizza, etc) Afternoon snacks include a protein shake and a apple.
I grill my proteins and meal prep on Wednesday and Sunday, chop proteins finely and store in large Tupperwares and feed off that during the week with the same bowls each time eliminating guesswork on macros, calories, etc. Allows me to maintain a 2,500 a day calorie intake and the flexibility to incorporate caloric deficit periods to trick the metabolism if I’m looking to go sub 10% body fat for a month or so…maybe a vacation, etc. This program has allowed me to have visible abs all year long.
Last meal at 8pm, and always train fasted in the morning, only drinking plain black coffee prior to training, thereby depleting liver glycogen stores over night and leveraging body fat for training energy. No sugar at all in some of these pre workouts or sport drinks. Total mistake .
This program has allowed me to add 5lbs of lean muscle tissue a year since 55, and maintain a body fat of 10-12% all year long.
Try it. It works. The food sounds boring but you will actually look forward to the mash up of beef, chicken, shrimp or fish etc., corn, low-fat cottage cheese, yogurt boathouse farms, soy sauce and rice. When you microwave the bowl, the low fat cottage cheese breaks down into a creamy protein packed base that helps get large amounts of protein down. My wife and kids say it looks disgusting, but it tastes excellent and we that train eat purely for results. Works for me but everyone is different.
Try it.
Don’t do upper lower. Do full body.
This guys on roids or trt
Actually, you are spot on❤
I turn 41 this month. If I take my exercise routine and split it into upper and lower days, I’ll have 14 exercises on first day, and 5 on the second. And that’s not counting abs. That seems a bit unbalanced.
OO
Thanks, Bud. Your examples are helpful.
What about push/pull/legs/off/repeat?
