I AM a masters competitive powerlifter. I'm nearly 45 and been training for nearly 10 years. I've competed with, and help train, people into their 70s. Even under competition requirements, the suggestions by McGill are wrong (no surprise, knowing his schtick, and his mouthpiece on CZcams, SquatU). So glad to see you covering this so brilliantly to let people know what I immediately knew upon watching that segment!
If a friend or family tells me I shouldn't squat or deadlift without solid reasoning, I will send them this video. Thank you.
These guys may have gotten to the point where they are comfortable saying it's true because they think it is. Either they are wrong about this or I am freaking Superman. (Hint: I am not Superman.) 53 y/o male. 6'2", 255#. I don't know my true maximums, but I comfortably squat 425, deadlift 525, bench 325. Myoclonic seizures. Thanks Sully, for calling them out in this video.
As referenced in your comments my wife was diagnosed with Osteoporosis at the beginning of her lifting experience. A year later and again a year after that her Osteoporosis had disappeared, You are careful in your prescriptions which are heavy but "not heavier than they need to be," As an 11-year client with Sully I can say my backaches have virtually disappeared. While I have yet to lift 405. I am happy for now at age 77 with 375 on the deadlift,
Fist time I ever deadlifted 500 pounds was in 1982. The last time, this morning at 64 years of age. I watched McGill video while laughing last week.
I can lift my 5 yr old grandson high into the air, my posterior chain is super strong because I regularly deadlift! Smart people saying dumb shit!
I have now taken a 900 lb deadlift and 1000 lb squat PR off of this year’s goals. Thanks for saving me Dr. McGill!
An intelligent critique of the poor arguments made by those two.
I’m a 61year old plumber . I do squats and deadlifts . For moving water heaters up and downstairs. I do pushups for when I crawl under house. I don’t go no heavier than 300 pounds. Even though I could do 500 when I was a young man .
I am a 61 year old female and I looooove deadlifts. I won’t ever stop doing them.
Humans are more designed for dead lifts kind of movement then walking backwards up hills that can be dangerous 😂
I'll be 62 next week.
Thanks for the accurate content. I am 61, started lifting at 57. I focus on the compounds and doing them correctly. I never push through pain. My ego does not drive my intensity.
Im 66 and I coach a bunch of 60 and 70 year olds according to the Barbell Subscription. There is no way they want to stop deadlifts and squats. It has given them the freedom and confidence to try anything without the fear of injury and pain. I wish I had discovered you Dr Sullivan 20 years ago when I started this profession. Respect!
OMG THANK YOU!! I saw this video a few weeks ago and because I'm resting a back strain it made me think maybe at 63 I should stop dead's and squats and I had wasted my money on the Barbell Rx book I just received. Your response video makes me feel much better about getting back into my work out and get off my ass and read this book. I retired from the FD after over 40 yrs of service and continue to respond as a volunteer and as an instructor. Watching your videos defiantly helps me keep up with and pass F/F's 1/3 my age and chase be chased and wrestle with my grandkids Thank you so much for all the info you guy's put out please keep it up,
I m 60+, had back pain in my 40s, been deadlifting for the last 12 years, gotten strong, no more back pain.
I believe Attia still does deadlifts for bone density but not “powerlifting” - without axial loading there is NO preservation of bone density and he’s mentioned this many times too so we need him back to address specifically bone density preservation. He’s emphasized that one should be able to deadlift just above your body weight to serve this purpose and that won’t injure you
I’m actually the best Master 3 (60-69 years old) powerlifter in my country and let me tell you you’re damn spot on Mr Sullivan!
While a respected kinesiologist, McGill has been in academia too long. He may have “clients” in the real world but he also has a professional reputation to defend. He’s adopted an easy-does-it approach based solely on professional athletes, people who routinely push the edge of the envelope and do damage as a result. As an athlete of aging, I rely on moves like the deadlift, the squat and the overhead press to maintain my strength, mobility and conditioning…and I never go for PRs. I’ve been hurt - who hasn’t lifting heavy things? - but never seriously and never without gaining (in the long run) the long term benefits of strength training. Kudos to you, Sully!
I started lifting two years ago at age 76. Using a trainer I've worked up to 2x10 squats (195) and deadlift (195) and now concentrating on full range of motion (bench and squats). When I started bench I could barely do the bar due to an old shoulder injury. Now I can bench 145, dumbbell press 50, incline fly 45 all for reps. I've had one or two minor tweaks doing stupid stuff which I now avoid. When you're getting started you need a trainer. Yes, there is some good information on the interweb but you have to be a discerning consumer and simply watch someone lift, while entertaining, isn't very useful from a learning perspective. I've learned more about my body in the last two years than in the preceding 76. I do need to work OHP into my program.
