Wow, I totally agree with your comments. I hurt my back in my early 20s and suffered most of my life. For the last 6 years, I've been exercising my back with Pilates and watching your videos. At 71, I'm finally mostly free from pain and my conclusion....... look after your back, bend your knees when lifting, and watch Bob & Brad 🤩

age 17 I did bodybuilding, did all these exercises they mentioned and I had four misaligned vertebrates in my lower back and I had (still have) terrible shoulder pain. Lessons indeed.

This is great physical therapy. These guys are terrific. I wish they would, however, address those of us who are older now, especially women, and go through our day with the activities we have to do. Using washer and dryer, going with food in and out of the oven, in the garden on our knees, up and down, pulling weeds.....so many..

I switch crunches for leg raises (hanging). Good morning with traditional deadlifts. Military press with dumbbell press. Barbell rows with machine rows. There are ways around things

wow! I think I did every one of those! I am adjusting my workouts immediately! thank you! I am 53 and I definitely want to take good care of my body which is the reason I make the effort of working out! God bless you guys!

I find that most of these are the ones that I instinctively stopped doing cause of the stress I felt while practicing them. I feel so validated somehow. Thank you for your videos. helping me a great deal. I've subscribed after watching only 1 of them.

Solid advise. You guys did a good job pointing out risks and rewards to the deadlift, and tried to not make it biased.

I have had back problems for several years and I just ran across your videos a few days ago. Your videos have been so helpful. I'm sharing them with everyone I know. Keep up the good work!

Also, I am lifting for college football and do dead lifts as well. I feel like it is better than a squat and stay away from that. Should I be concerned about an achey lower back right around where my hips connect to my spine. I feel like my bad posture during class and studying alludes to this pain and shoudl be fixed if I correct it over time. Do you have any tips for this and for a college football player, because some lifts are nessecary for strength even if you dont use these muscles in a game or practice it can still help you strength in other respects, or am I wrong. Like how a military press will never be used on the field but can help with strength and explosion for someone blocking.

I am really grateful to found this video in my 30s. Now all I do are just basic movements like push up, pull up, and squats. Don't want to suffer when getting older! Thank you Bob and Brad!

I used to be guilty on a couple of these exercises when I first started lifting but I eventually lost flexibility, was too stiff and too sore too often so I listened to my body and I'm thankful I did. Great video gentlemen.

Thank you so much for all your great videos! :) for this particular video, it would also be really great to show *safer alternatives* to these exercises - especially shoulder ones

You guys are great and so correct. I'm almost 53 and worked out all my life and have dealt with major back issues for about 13 years. You guys confirm so much that I have learned the hard way. Wish I would have seen your videos 20 years ago. Keep up the good work!

I am sorry I did these exercises. I'm 67 and paying the price. I now protect my body, especially my spine.

Great video . . . BUT! there is always a darn but! Can you do the companion to this video - which is what to do to REPLACE these exercises if you're doing them. please! Alan, from Australia.

Thanks for this video! Great advice!

I stress over my back all the time when exercising, this was a really helpful video. Thanks!!

On bent over rows and straight leg dead lifts the bar rides up and down the front of your legs and never tracks away from the body. You bend at the knees and sit back in your heels and hips. If your form looks like theirs of course you will get hurt 👍

What are some alternative weight lifting exercises that work the same muscle groups? Could you do a video about that?

great info- thanks!

Thanks guys ... the information you put out is valued.

No wonder my spine is in the state its in. Thanks Jane Fonda for the aerobic exercise videos in the eighties! Our aerobics teachers still follow these exercises blindly to this day.

I keep coming back for the theme song alone. Lol I love it.

Man, I think we did about every one of these exercises/lifts in my CrossFit class. A year and a half later I quit when my left shoulder was shot. Hoping to heal up now but need to find a better (ideally body weight) long-term workout system. Thank you for taking time to create and post these videos, gentlemen.

It's interesting to hear about the exercises that can cause shoulder problems as I'm experiencing the beginnings of these at the moment and it's how I found your channel. The upright rows really are a worry and for more than just the shoulders. I'm ok with the front military press but the rear ones are bad news. At my gym I'm seeing a lot of people injured doing cross fit. Knees,shoulders and back seem to be the most common. I'm into weights and I think my problems are from overuse and to many sets. I'm mindful of not going to heavy but tend to compensate with extra sets and higher reps. I love it but maybe I'm loving it too much. You've given me something to consider and I'm going to reevaluate my workouts.

Got some helpful info here. Thanks. Thought i'd seen all the vids

you guys are awesome for people that lift. getting tips from lifters and your guys tips really ties well and gives a medical perspective

The solution for upright rows is to do them with dumbbells instead so your hands can be rotated (pinkies lower) to prevent impingement.

Great video! Good things to know. I know I'm late but I'm new here. I think what I'm missing from this is a demonstration of the correct way or an alternative way to do these exercises. Or perhaps linking the videos for the topics you have already covered in the description box for easy reference. Thank you both! I'm learning a lot.

learning so much. thanks guys.

thank you! could you possibly do a follow up video showing alternatives

The leg press.... that's how I think my knees started hurting.... thanks guys you are awesome

Thx, helpful information.

Recently I pulled my back...after watching this...you really are making me realize how many times I do bend over wrong. Looking at a picture on the table, looking for something, it's very common to bend...just did not know it was wrong. Thank you.

I recommend that this video is carefully watched by anyone who goes to the gym and does weight training. A very useful video. It will contribute to correcting many mistakes that are known correctly.

Great info! I'll keep your tips in mind. However I lift heavy and I like it! I'll propably continue to do most of these lifts. But at 52 yo I'll remember your cautions and share with those I coach. Thank u!

🌷🌷 perfect lecture thanks a lot.

Every workout position that you guys said not to do I was doing in my early twenties. as I lay in bed in severe pain. herniated l4, l5 when I was 23. I'm 30 now and wishing videos this informative were so easily accessible back then. gosh I was so dumb. I'm not even old yet and falling apart.

Thank you. Some of those exercises I won't do again. Si joint problems

I'm in my mid-fifties and came to your videos because I've been experiencing pain in my dominant shoulder whenever I do machine chest or shoulder exercises which are definitely impeding my workouts.

I understand the bad posture in exercises I'm 23 and an army veteran I still feel lower back pain because of bent over rows as well as shoulder pain from military presses I appreciate the content you guys provide I would like for your advice on safe superior alternatives to some of these exercises

At least the incline bench was given for the bent over rowing. But the dumbell press, especially at a more natural angle, could have replaced the barbell presses. I recommend Jeff Cavaliere for good exercise vids, since he is also a PT as well as a trainer.

Hi. Good video for people that don't exercise often or don't know how to exercise. I had bad disk (spinal cord bones touching each other) and I recovered doing exercise, specially stiff leg deadlift .

I am a big fan of your videos here in France. Love the music at the beginning of any of your vid 😂😂😂 You really helped me to cure my herniated disc a few days ago! Thanks a million and keep going please!!!!

Shoulder presses is what helped me with my impingement. They don't have to be heavy but good form is essential to make it work.

people that are injured or have pain will agree on this but others that never felt pain will disagree for me i will believe anything so that i put a smile on my face daily since i couldnt for many years because of pain.

Thank you so much !

Another great and helpful video! I wish I knew this before a started lifting. I have already stopped some of the bad exercises from watching your videos. What about upright rows with dumbbells any better? What about military press in front with dumbbells?

Prem Hi your video is true and correct in my opinion. My back went out last year with MRI showing L 4 L 5 buldge and degeneration. The 20 year of squat deadlift and bent over row exercise being responsible for it in my opinion. Great video to educate all lifter because once your disc is herniated you cannot lift anything. Still I am not able to do gym regularly and prefer only to walk. Great to educate as wrong information prevails in gym.

Squat deep, squat heavy, squat often.

7:23 most important words. Supraspinatus tendon impingment And i liked hearing about end range

I had done all of the no to do excercise you have listed ( maybe the posture), the result - my back broke. Thanks for your lesson.

outstanding information

Do have had a replacement knee 1 year ago and l have spinal stenosis so your exercising has been a big help so a big thank you

As always !! Best of the best!!!I'm paying the price of lower back abuse due strenuous weight lifting with a herniated disc. Keep rockin guys ! Waiting for more on this subject ! Still wait for the power kicking leg exercises video ! The best physical therapists all over the world ! I have understood through time that human body is capable for many things but this don't mean that it also likes this! :)

appreciate EVERY video.. I'm searching for any relief and you guys are golden!!! after my back "went out" at 30, and then at 33, they diagnosed me with arthritis...I knew it wasn't because it wasn't my muscles but more of an uncomfortable nerve pain. Well, my MRI showed 4 dark compressed disc with the middle two bulging... Eureka!! I'm approaching 36, the Dr. doesn't suggest surgery, so I'm trying to reverse this condition and manage the pain

Very good advice! At 62 y.o I had a physiatrist prescribe deadlifts to strengthen my hip area due to severe hip arthritis. The movement irritated my lower back and then I found out on your channel that people with osteoporosis should not even attempt this exercise!! I immediately stopped. I am on Reclast for severe OP. What was this doctor thinking? Trying to self-educate so as to not cause injury. Thank you for your informative videos.

I have been lifting weights for 40 years . Fortunately I have never had a day when my training day was stopped due to injury and I train everyday . BUT , I am now 55 and I am beginning to lower my weights in order to extend my physical abilities into older age . I do feel my back now and have to ensure I am stretching and all the rest of it . We have to adapt for longevity otherwise longevity will come with movement preventing disability . It is hard to accept that I now have to adjust my training but reality is reality . Great vids .

Thank you guys ! I hope you will make the video about how to workout properly any kinetic muscle in the body ,and the postural muscle .I really need thats adivces .

Wow. This rules out a whole lot of exercises with dumbbells to strengthen your back and legs.

The form on the RDL (straight/stiff leg deadlift) was nowhere near how people should be doing it though. And the legs aren't actually stiff, they're slightly bent (about 30 deg) to just below the knee with hip hinge and bar close to you. Hip hinge is a great thing to teach as well. Love your videos but when performed right, they're a great exercise. :) I am also a physical therapist just not famous!! Lol or nearly as experienced.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!

Gotta say that I highly disagree with the military press risks. The shoulders may be "small" compared to the rest of your body, but the back is going to inevitably help the weight move. I have very stiff shoulder joints and I've never felt a bit of pain or stress from heavy shoulder workouts.

My trainer taught me to lay on an incline board holding a 25lb weight plate on my chest and do situps. Did wonders for my ab and back muscles at the time but I'm paying for it now. He also taught everything else you mentioned in this video and a lot more that I'm paying for. Every trainer who worked for that company taught the same for decades. No one seemed to know a better way to get in shape back then.

Thankyou so much for the great info! Will you please link the (Nakasum?) study? Thank you

I recently got back into lifting weights and was doing a lot of dead lifts and super deep squats and now my lower back has hurt for two weeks. This video has been extremely helpful :)

I would trust u guys with my life thx for great advice

True. I am 69 and had worked out for quite some time. I did dead lift, ´overhead ´ifts etc. Now, my shoulder hurts.

1) Toe touches, bad because it puts stress on your back due it it being rounded. 2) Good mornings. 3)Full sit ups especially coming up completely to the knees. 4) Leaning on the treadmill while using it, keep good posture while doing it. 5) Stiff legged bent over rows. 6) Behind the neck shoulder press, and shoulder press. 7) RDLs/stiff legged deadlifts. 8) Full depth squats with the butt wink. 9) Leg press, do not go too deep, going deep good for muscles but bad for the joints. 10) Upright rows causing shoulder impingement.

Love your site and the great information. Found you both initially because of a sore upper rt. (dominant) arm. I now realize it is probably some type of impingement and hopefully not a partial tear. Should I insist on an MRI to be sure?I'm a very active 75yr. old (eat healthy and do at least 12,000 steps each day).I had prostrate cancer and therefore hormonal therapy. Gained weight and lost strength. Now looking for some strength training that will not hurt what's left of my body.Thanks for any help,Andy

Hi Guys! Thanks!

Thank you for the informative video. For these types of 'avoid doing this' videos in future, it would be great if you could show a safer alternative. i.e. what is less risky than sit-ups or shoulder press?

@ETBrooD

Жыл бұрын

For sit-ups: crunches For shoulder press: dumbbell shoulder press

So, BodyPump(TM) -- yes or no? I'm in my 60s and still do it (though I have a sore shoulder that limits what I can do). I've been doing Pump for years, and have taken on all the safety tips given in class. The bent over row demonstrated here is different from what we do with a big weight. In BodyPump, we keep the bar close to our thighs so that it slides down the legs. The row is likewise up the thighs to the stomach and back down, with arms close to your sides, or occasionally turned out to the sides in a wide row.

Hi, great video. Might you link me to the study you were mentioning at the beginning? Thank you!

Ref: 7:00 min. I hurt my rotator cuff over 20 years ago with a shoulder exercise. But my mistake came at the end when I was setting down the weight. Instead of holding the weight close to me and setting it down, I reached out. Then I felt the burn in at my rotator cuff. My workout was over and that took me many years to get over.

Thank you for the video. What exercises should i avoid with a cervical radiculopathy?

Great video, Docs! I wonder if you both feel the same way about traditional deadlifts. Still a great amount of spine flexion but does flexing the knees, again, I'm thinking "traditional deadlift" here, help alleviate enough of the stress on the lumbar spine to make it a worthwhile exercise in your minds? *Assuming ideal form and appropriate weight through out the movement*

Good points, many sports (martial arts, basketball, gymnastics - to name a few) have high impact moves on joints which your body won't complain about for a time but eventually you must stop. I now avoid duck walks, deep squat jumps, and limit spins/flips to rare occasions.

thanks, now only I get to know why I am suffering from rotator cuff pain

Bob and Brad, you'll always be the greatest! But isn't the "Good Morning" fine if you hold a good arch in your back (neutral spine) and only push till the end of the hamstrings range of motion, thus leaving the back out of it?

There's a doctor who appears to be in his 60's that does a KZread channel called GreySteelFitness. He was claiming that shoulder pressing overhead is good for the shoulder joints. Then he claimed that anyone who doesn't agree with him is delusional or uneducated. I think I'll listen to Bob and Brad on this one seeing they've worked with plenty of injured people too. I generally do lateral raises and an isometric shoulder press which seems to help strengthen my shoulders enough to avoid injury.

thanks for all the great advice. i avoid most of the exercises, but what should you do for shoulders then if the in front military press is bad? it doesnt seem to bug my shoulders that much

For abdominals, one of the exercise we do in my classes is keeping a position (sitting on the floor) like the letter "V", much more opened though. Yes, its hard on the back but I have much stronger abdominals now. In fact, in my classes. I do almost every exercises you mentioned in your video....I am 61 years old and I want to stay fit but now, I do not know what to do. I used a lot of your exercises for different pain I had (impingement syndrome and others). And yes, I have shoulder and back and neck pain sometimes...I always thought it's because I use too heavy weights. I'm lost here...ALL the people where I take these classes are "trained" ...!!!! By the way, in yoga classes, we always bend our body and therefore stretch our lower back. Is that bad???
