The smith machine puts your spine in a significantly worse position than regular free barbell squats.

Strange what under 40s think what being 40+ is 😇

You are right, I am a 69 year old power lifter and I still lift heavy weights. I don't have an injury for my age, but I need to train lighter. Next week I will cycle 70 kilometers for 4 hours. I have been doing this for more than 40 years I enjoy this I can't stop.

Great video. Thanks for the perspective. It’s funny it’s a deload week for me. It feels good to lift not as heavy but still feeling the muscular engagement

Jokes on you for the calves-thing. I'm a 51 year old gym-rat and a few years back I found that I kind of enjoy looking as good as possible in a shorts and short-sleeved shirt combo in the summertime. That means lots of work on calves and forearms, together with the rest of the things obviously. I have to say that I am quite pleased with the results so far.

Belt squat is the best alternative if your gym or training location has it. It's a great alternative to protect your spine while hitting the quads directly.

The message of this video is more about safety. All the lifts mentioned could be done at lighter weights with good form and proper equipment, and the lifter should be making sure they are recovering and progressing from their workouts. Also, most people are already doing other lifts to further develop their body parts, such as other pressing/pulling/squatting movements in their workouts. Building a good baseline of total body muscularity while maintaining a healthy body fat is what most people would find attractive. Most serious lifters that train their entire musculature are not going to be extremely overdeveloped or underdeveloped enough in any body part that an average person would notice.

on the condenser theres nothing wrong with any of these exercises you just need to drop the weights and increase the repetitions in the working set.

Great words of wisdon Sandra. Keep up the great work!

So I guess my problem is I'm not intentional enough about any of these goals. I just train. I try to make it balanced. I prioritise overall fitness over just strength so lots of cardio and movement work but other than that, I have no grand goals except to be fit, healthy and strong as long as I can.
