Stop The Bench Press After 50! (Do This Instead)

Описание: Most men over 50 don’t stop bench pressing because they get weak.
They stop because their shoulders give out.

The flat barbell bench press wasn’t designed for aging shoulders — and for most men, it becomes a slow grind toward pain, inflammation, and lost training years.

In this episode, I explain exactly why the flat bench causes problems after 50 — and more importantly, I show you two better chest-building alternatives that let you:

✔ Build a bigger, fuller chest
✔ Train close to failure safely
✔ Protect your shoulders and rotator cuff
✔ Keep lifting hard into your 60s and beyond

This is not about fear.
It’s about mechanics, anatomy, and longevity.

If your shoulders click, ache, or limit your training — this video is for you.

If you care about aging well, staying strong for your family, and training pain-free for decades — you’re in the right place.

👊 Keep punching.

The flat bench press might not be the best for your shoulders, especially if you're over 50 and experiencing pain. This video explores why the flat bench press can lead to shoulder impingement and offers alternatives to keep your rotator cuff healthy. Consider switching to an incline bench press or dumbbell press for a few weeks to see if it makes a difference for your shoulder health. Keep punching.
