4.Decline weighted sit ups
Hmmmmm.
Is that what you are doing?
And why would I be saying this...
"Lol why would you think i was in the kitchen..":
Yes, out of your own very special kitchen where you do all your delicious baking...
4.Decline weighted sit ups
Good mornings. The old school ones, with a heavy ass bar, bending you like a stick in the wind.
That's is correct. Utilize a chamfered bar and push your hips out. It's all about the posterior chain.I thought that one was supposed to hinge at the hip, so your bum goes back

Our hips are the most powerful muscle on our body. Utilizing them as much as possible is a good way to have a muslch improved quality of life, no back pains, better core strength etc
The sexy trained ass is a bonus
It was my pleasureThank you
I bet your answers change in two decades.
*Stares motherfuckerly*People like a certain Monsieur here who arrive at the venerable age of 75, or something like that, and are still rocking it Louie Simmons style are outliers, I think.
Good for them. They will not be ancient and knackered like the rest of us.
I am not going to tag him as I hope he will miss this, or he will pull the nuclear button on me, after revealing his true age.
[ yes, you Senor, look:how cute is that? And another one
good diversionary tactic from the age revelation. Admit it ]
Can I add into this even though I’m not 75? my parents would have been about . They’re born in the early 50’s, 2 of my uncles have home gyms, one similarly semi complete like mine, the other with a just bowflex, and both still working out.What would you have put on this list 20 years ago, that you would not include, today?
You certainly have a point, as 99% of people (made it up, no data, before the haters pile in) will be dealing with issues relating to injuries, accidents, overuse and so on. Some, sooner/much sooner than others.
But one can adapt things like reducing rom or using bands instead of weights, which may still allow you to perform movements that have become a problem.
I love the constant tension you can have using bands and, depending on what I am doing, they can end up working better for me than using other equipment.

Has anyone seen rfk jr. he’s a stud at his old age also in 70’s?
Also I freaking love bands, but I really fell in love with them, after a spinal cord injury I thought I would never get back to my original strength ect from. My pt started me doing band work to try and get me strong enough to lift weight again, and it worked miracles. I started liking them so much I use them for not only warming up shoulders but a finish in home workouts. I get a similar feel of flexion and extension on bands as I would cables
Day 1:Alright now lets see some actual routines for the week with these magic 8 lifts…
Focus? Strength, density, mass?
Ppl? Powerbuilding? Bbing?
*Stares motherfuckerly*
I am old but not that old. Yet anyway.
And the late Louie was not an outlier
I was just lucky not injuring myself and double lucky to have more than 3 working braincells: 1 for breathing, 1 for restraining me to act on my primal urges and 1 for listening older and wiser people. The last working braincell is still in kindergarten.Fair enough.
I kind of asked for it disclosing secrets.
Baby, shall I take another week off?
when you get there and beyond, you will still be doing 3x5.
I was paying you a compliment (based on what you do) by saying that you are one, in comparison to most people.
You are almost of antediluvian age, yet have managed to escape all sorts of injuries and are still training like you are bloody 20 years old.
I hope the term antediluvian escaped your attention.
Anyway, I am flipping ancient and decrepit, like a lot of people here.
But we (=the rest of humanity and i) say kudos to you that are not.

Bench press
Squats
Deadlift
Bench press
Squats
Deadlift
Just for three to start. Hammer curls come to mind as a fourth. Skull crushers come to mind as a fifth.
I was benching with three plates on each side, heck, I was even doing incline pressing with three plates on each side for 6-8 reps, when I decided at some point that I was hurting way too badly for this to be something I could continue doing as I have for decades previously.
And I had not touched a barbell bench, incline, or decline for years prior to winning a bodybuilding competition, so it is not a necessary movement, even though it used to be a favorite. Had you asked me 20 years ago, I would have told you it was 100% necessary and that you have to do them.
I have found that all of the above cause me issues. Squats, ironically, cause me issues because of the bench pressing. I simply cannot get me hands into position on a straight bar anymore, thanks to hugely reduced should mobility (among other shoulder issues).
I have found other ways of working the target muscles for all of these lifts with which I have difficulty today.
If I could travel back in time to tell my younger self, then my egotistical younger self would have said, "whatever, old man," and kept doing what I was going, LOL.
I am not sure I understand what you are asking. What do you mean by unilateral work? One side at a time?Do you find that you are now doing a little more unilateral work than you used to, or have you not got the patience for it?
I used to be more disciplined with that kind of thing.
Now, once I have done 3 sets of it on the day (maybe a couple of things supersetted) I start getting bored so, often, that's all I end up doing.
