Men over 40 Low vs High Volume Training (The 2 Reasons Why You Should Choose One!) Your trainer Mr America & Natural Mr Universe John Heart gives unique and original insight into the reasons why one type of training is superior for men over 40 when discussing Low vs High Volume Training. Bodybuilders have long believed in training a certain way in order to create their best physique but is it really the best long term? Bodybuilding has also left large numbers of followers broken with lifelong injuries and pain requiring the termination of any serious training, but is that necessary? John uses examples such as 6x Mr Olympia Dorian Yates, sprinters, and marathon (long distance) runners, HIT High Intensity Training (low volume) to illustrate what can happen and how to avoid the physical therapy room while having a great physique past 40!

    @Skywalkerman79منذ 3 سنوات I'm an older lifter and this video was spot on! I lifted heavy in my twenties and thirties and then lifted again in my mid forties. Now that I'm id="hidden6" class="buttons"> in my fifties and starting lifting again, I found out, the hard way, that high volume is counter productive. It is absolutely about the joints wearing down and breaking down. So, I started out slow and was doing fine with no pain as I worked my way back into lifting about six months ago. Over the first two months, I saw a lot of gains and got back up to moderately heavy weight. However, I started to increase my volume and boom, bam, there went my joints. Injuries to my wrist, my shoulder, my hip, even my lower back started happening and, before you know it, I was having to take a week off here and a week off there. I even took two weeks off total when I felt pain in my lower back. So, after rehabbing my back, I started lifting again and doing lower volume. I'm even going really slow with progressive overload. That seems to be helping a lot as well. Going much heavier than 50lb dumbbells seems to be the dividing line for me or not much over 185 on the bench press. I may work up to a little heavier weight again but I'm very reluctant to work with heavy loads. So, for the time being I plan to keep volume low to moderate and use relative light weight. Thanks for this video. I hope people take your advice and they will be better off for it. ....وسعت 8

    @viveviveka2651منذ 3 سنوات Too much stress can cause injuries quickly. I have done it multiple times. I've also had repetitive, low intensity "overuse" injuries. id="hidden16" class="buttons">
    But the overloading injuries have been the worst.
    Just this week I listened to Dorian Yates describe how his (show) career ended after one of his tricep ligaments largely detached from the bone.
    The danger I see in HIT and HD is that people will push their bodies too hard, resulting in very pesky injuries.
    I've had to interrupt training multiple times because of these sorts of injuries, for lengthy periods.
    I would like to see a video (or another video) focused on staying injury free.

    @andyc9979منذ 4 سنوات Haha. I used to do upright rows as a teen. I can't even do that motion at all now. I used to be the high volume guy. I was a teen though. I've id="hidden17" class="buttons"> adapted over the years and I'm probably considered a low volume guy. I can't do more than 4-5 sets a part anyway. I just can't. I've learned to make 4 sets feel like a lot more over the years. Glad ive learned before it's too late. It's already too late for my shoulders tho. I've had to change around my exercises and I've made it work. As always, the older trainer warned me and I laughed it off. I do the same to younger guys. I'm only 33 but it didn't take long for the abuse to show. It's a cycle of having that talk with someone. It can be for anything in life. You get your warnings and you can't acknowledge it because you're young and feel immortal. The older I get i feel mortal. It finally clicked and I had that omg moment. I'm getting older and trapped in this vessel and it doesn't last forever, so I have to be safe in my training and activities I do. It's a big deal. Pain sucks and it can't be seen. Then again someone else can do everything wrong and never feel a thing in life. ....وسعت 14

    @stevenmillar20منذ 4 سنوات My story drives your point home completely. I worked for 25 years in a grocery store produce department. All day long I put product on the stand with my id="hidden25" class="buttons"> right hand. Usually a couple pieces at a time, so less than a pound of weight. It simulated the action of a lateral raise. Thousands of reps a day with the same arm. No pain, but felt the stress build up over the course of the day. Today, my right shoulder is done. It somewhat hinders my performance of many exercises, leaving my right side unbalanced. Left shoulder is fine. I tried alternating sides when working in the store, but it was to awkward, so stuck with my right side. I view the joints like a car part. More mileage=less lifespan. Luckily, I have always been low volume trainer, or the problem would have been exacerbated. Great video, John! ....وسعت 1

    @puntamexمنذ 3 سنوات Great video. I agree with what you say 100% but I might be a littel biased since I've been doing HIT for over 34yrs. I first discovered HIT back in id="hidden31" class="buttons"> the late 80's reading articles of interviews on the subject done with Lee Labrada and Dorian Yates in Musclemag and Flex Magazines.. I probably would have given up training a long time ago had I not discoverd HIT. At the time I was starting college and was working alot at my job and there was no way I could train on the typical bodybuilding split of the era. So HIT was perfect for me. I trained M-W-F on an Upper Lower split and took weekends off. My sessions were 45min to1hr and that was enough for me to make huge gains . Anyway, fast forward to today. I'm 52yrs old now and took up powerlifting right before I turned 50. BTW- I compete as a Masters II at 105kg in the IPF (tested federation) and have been natural all my life. I continue to employ HIT in Powerlifting training as well but with a few modifications and believe me, it works incredibly. To tell you I've never been stronger in my life is an understatement. Most powerlifers in my club can't believe how fast I have progressed in all three lifts Squat, Bench and Deadlift while training using a minimilast approach. Current numbers are Squat 606lbs/Bench 365lbs/ Deadlift 617lbs/ Front Squat 462lbs / Strict Military Press 235lbs. The guys at the club call me RIK because I'm always telling them that 'Recovery Is King'.hahaha. Cheers! ....وسعت 1

    @ubuntuposixمنذ 3 سنوات By low repetitions its implied that you use a higher weight thus the risk of injury is much higher than doing many reps with a low weight. Likewise for id="hidden50" class="buttons"> the freq of training. If you say train a muscle once a week or two weeks, that muscle may not be used to the workout, thus there's risk of injury. (compared to training once every other day).
    Not to mention that when you're old you want health, which usually comes from aerobics, thus more reps is more aerobic. That said, being natural, this type of healthy exercise is not great for building muscles. (which requires high weights / low reps).
    (Thus) Extreme muscle building is not healthy. The goal should be moderate muscles.

    @mdd1963العام الماضي Even with a pair of ramping warmups in flat bench press, I just can’t believe a single set to failure ( I think I’m pretty adept now at deciding when I am likely to fail on next rep!) is ‘enough’; ergo, I do at least a pair and sometimes 3 sets, varying rep ranges ( and obviously weight used to match) each workout. One day may be lighter, pair of AMRAP sets to 14 and 11 reps, next workout might be 3 sets to 6,5, and 4 reps, another day might be 8, 6, and 5 reps. ( on days where only 2 sets of flat bench are done, there will usually be 3 sets of incline Db or barbell, and 2 sets of wide grip dips, etc., and occasionally 1-2 sets on pec deck machine. As workouts with the same weight/ rep range might only be repeated 3 weeks later, notes tell me if I hit 12 and 9 reps a few weeks ago, I expect 14 and 11 reps today, at which point ( as happened today) , it’s time to add 5 lbs! ....وسعت

    @majurbluddمنذ 3 سنوات I like upper lower split. 4 days on. 3 off. Working sets are 9sets total. 3 exercises per body part. to failure. Reps 8-10. I'm 38. maxing out is out id="hidden52" class="buttons"> of the question. The super heavy powerlifting style training in my teens and 20s I feel in my joints now. If it starts to hurt in the gym, stop doing that and do a different exercise instead. ....وسعت

    @Khanqestمنذ 3 سنوات I think you should still he EXTREMELY careful with HIT because the heavy weight could still injure you if you're not warmed up to take that heavy weight and slow reps.

    @thunderkat5282منذ 2 سنوات I’ve been making great gains with HIT, but…………… and I hate to admit this, but I think I need more sub failure volume between failure sessions.

    @williamhudson2339منذ 4 سنوات Advice on a guy with a lot of past injuries near 60, lost 62 pounds so far , is longer low volume a better way to go?
  • @
    @chazstone6744منذ 3 سنوات 49 and I'm still pushing as much as I can for 10-12 to failure for 2 sets per exercise for 2 exercises per part. I do a bro split, alternating a few id="hidden56" class="buttons"> weeks of 1x per week and 2x per week. I never go over 4-5 sets per body part and never exceed 10 total sets for a workout. The way I figure, I'm only really doing 20 or so actual work reps where I'm getting close to failure for each set. I only ever experience any kind of joint discomfort when I foolishly abandon my own better judgement and push the volume a little higher. ....وسعت 2

    @albertalbert7958منذ 2 سنوات High weights, excessive friction and poor technique cause injuries. High volume cause high friction. High intensity usually involve higher weights and id="hidden57" class="buttons"> poor technique. That's why moderate medium volume and medium intensity is the norm in almost every elite athlete nowdays. ....وسعت

    @bruceabrams29منذ 3 سنوات Good afternoon John I've been working out since 1974, what's heavy for one person, is light for another. At almost 70 years old, I don't go id="hidden59" class="buttons"> heavy anymore. I work upper body, three times a week, lower-body, the other two. I do between three and five sets, a body part, 10 to 15 reps. I don't believe in high-intensity, or to do one body part a week, doesn't work for me. At almost 70 years old, I have 18 inch arms at 190 lb. The skin is not as taunt, as it was in my 30s, 40s and 50s. 100 g of protein a day, with vegetables isolate whey protein, lots of water. No red meat thank you!! Ginger root, turmeric, 2000 international units of vitamin D3, maca, red Panax ginseng, Carlson's lemon flavored Norwegian Cod Liver Oil ....وسعت

    @robbyerics2792منذ 3 سنوات I'm 51 and I've been working out pretty hard and regularly since I was 16. I just can't do any heavy lifting nowadays. That would just crush id="hidden60" class="buttons"> my joints and tendons. As long as I do high repetition training and isolated excercises, I (almost) don't experience any pain at all. Then again, I guess I don't have to do more than 6-8 sets on each muscle ....وسعت 1

    @chriscapablanca3491منذ 3 سنوات I just love mixing it up and keeping the body guessing, all within reason and having a zero injury mentality. But something about it seems to work for id="hidden61" class="buttons"> me. Don't let your groove become a rut.
    So I'll do pullups. Few warm up mini-sets of 3-4 pullups, then 2 sets of 10 then 3 sets of 6 with 25 lbs and then 3 sets of 6 with 50 additional lbs. Sometimes I'll add another set to failure, other times not. Minimum 1 day rest but usually 2-3 days rest for pullups.
    2 weeks later I switch it up. I do 2-3 times / week the following : 4-5 reps per set, just a breather in between and keep going til I log 200 pull ups for that workout. Minimum 2 days rest
    2 weeks later back to weighted pull-ups.
    2 weeks later back to 200 pull-ups, etc.
    This is not for everyone but I have found for myself this seems so much nicer on the tendons, perhaps that is just me , perhaps it's placebo. But it has been my experience.
    For the record, I am 54 years old.
