this is a really good video Paul....you not only demo'd the exercise you also explained the why's of doing it the correct way. Wish more folks did their videos this way
Nice. I am 52 and started to lift about 2 years ago after 20 years of Ironman racing. Two years ago while I was still good at endurance sports I could not walk down the stair without knee pain. It was time to make some adjustments. While I was very fit, I was not healthy. I stopped triathlons cold turkey. Started to lift. Almost immediately I felt 15 years younger. Now that I have build some strength and mobility I am introducing jogging back into my life. No plans to race but only to regain some of that cardio engine. Lifting 3 times a week, jogging 3 times a week and a day of whatever exercise I feel like does the trick. Thanks for sharing some good information.
By heavy weight training you get more testosteron in your system, that is why you feel much better. Stop that endurance training no use at all. Do interval short stints, much more return on investment.
@@nukenabber7228 there is no reason why both cannot be done. As we get older focus on strength and cardio. Being strong and not being able to jog or briskly walk 2-3 miles without being out of breath is pretty much as useless as being able to run a 40 minute 10k but not being able to carry more than 2 groceries bags at a time.
@@FitAfter50I am 52 and a distance inline speed skater. Inline skating has almost no wear and tear on your body. I can easily skate 20-30 miles, that is leg day and a great workout. Lots of tutorials on YT how to do it right. Best to wear full protection - Even though I'm doing it forever I do because of the high speeds. That can really compliment upper body workouts!
@@alb12345672 that's is pretty cool and a rare sport. I have seen endurance skaters when I was tri training, those guys were flying! Winter is pretty much here. I will stick to the indoor bike for a bit and if there is snow, cross country skiing would be fun. Snow shoveling maybe. I just refuse to purchase a snow blower 🙂
I have been waiting and waiting for this. Great no bull shit presentation without silly big talks and research papers. A big Thank You from Sri Lanka.💪💪💪💪💪
Thank you for showing the instructions on how to do these correctly. I'm forty and trying to get myself in shape. Something I wish would have done a long time ago. These videos are well appreciated
The reason everyone thinks your on steroids Paul is because either you have 1 in a million genetics or you are indeed on steroids. You are to thick and ripped , one or the other would be believable but both is almost always trt at the very least.If you are one of the people that thinks trt even at normal doses is not cheating or any serious advantage then you must be delusional.
Paul I really Appreciate this video but I think I've already hurt my shoulders doing curls with what I thought was the proper form until I watched your instruction. Maybe it's a tendon tear. I've always had great difficulty in building any kind of strength and muscularity but started taking the creatine/HMB product you suggested to see what happens. I've never been able to feel a pump after an exercise set. Is getting that pump important ? Anyway, I have to say again that you look incredible. Hard to believe that one could maintain your level of physical perfection into his 50's. The size of your bicep peaks is astonishing. You look like you have rock bulging from under your skin ! I know genetics has to play a role in part but at the same time you obviously work very hard at it as the videos show.
Here's a trick I've used for years to help me keep symmetrical. When working bis, tris or forearms individually, I always do my dominate side first. This has a phycological effect on me, because it raises the bar for my non-dominate side performance. If I do my non-dominate hand first, the goal is too low for reps. Thanks for this.
Paul. Thank you for making these videos. I am 62 and have been lifting since before I went into the military. These workouts are super challenging and inspiring. Keep it up.
Hi Paul, thanks for posting great informative and motivational exercise content. I am really appreciating these videos longer in length, and that go in-depth and step by step in the basic exercises - and the main pitfalls. You go for efficiency and effectiveness. The books and magazines I have, seldom hit the level and content you publish. So as 50+ doing regular exercises, thank you for the great stuff you contribute. Greetings from 🇳🇱
It's about time you finally broke out and showed us how to look like you!......I've looked at you for MONTHS and wondered.....Why doesn't this guy give lessons?....Hats off my brother! You've given me pearls! Thank you!
Amazes me the first thing never discussed for arms isn’t pull-ups and dips. Best superset for arms there is. Work up to 50 or 190 of each and you’ll leave the gym swole!!!
Physical dominance? It's your neck. You can tell if a man is a real man or not based on the size of his neck. Maybe his ankles and his wrist also but basically it's from bone structure. This guy knows without a shadow of a doubt there could be an overweight construction worker with thick neck and thick wrists and tiny arms and he would easily destroy this man. It wouldn't even be close. Some of those men have grip strength over 240 pounds per hand
No, do a video about how to get bigger and still fit in the clothes you had before, none of you ever think about that, so maybe not bigger, unless one can afford a completely new wardrobe of clothes, maybe reduce fat and increase muscle a bit
Just joined your channel.I’m 55 years old and keeping myself in good athletic shape. I’ve watched your biceps exercises very carefully-and I’m going to tweak my technique just slightly. My arms are almost where I want them in proportion with everything else. I’ll let you know how I get on. Thank you very much. Best wishes Richard from Liverpool uk
Paul I have just purchased second hand a home multi gym which has a high and low cable pulley system with a fly and push for chest. So what can I do on this machine . Cheers
I disagree. I have wide and broad shoulders so I don't need to pose at all. However, yes, arms are also a good indicator for an overall strong body. But arms alone - no.
Brasil , RJ , assistindo daqui tão distante , percebo sua dedicação e amor no que você faz , e ainda compartilha seus conhecimentos , nos dando , Força , motivação , foco e fé , parabéns grande guerreiro .
I have always performed dumbell curls buy starting and finishing the movement with my arms by my sides. Keeping palms up and resting on thigh at bottom for curls makes a massive difference. Very impressed with this simple tweek to add time under tension and take the shoulder out of it when I tried it tonight. Great superset with hammer curls to thigh. Brutal finishier after pull ups. Great video Paul.
In all of these bicep videos on RUclips, no one ever mentions anything about heavy back work. When you build your back, your biceps come along for the ride. When you work your biceps, nothing happens to your back so for me its just a waste of time swinging around curls.
Love your channel! I am 52, but l look younger. I have a decent upper body, but my abs need work. I had a severe low back injury that required a spinal fusion on the L-5 S-1. I have titanium rods that support an insert where the disc used to be. What kind of exercise can I do to get my abs strong again? Thanks!
I respectfully disagree with how to build bigger biceps. Your biceps look fantastic but you're also very ripped which makes the bicep stand out and look great. But to build an actual "bigger" bicep where for example your arm measurement goes from 16" to 17", you essentially have to gain approximately 15 lbs of fairly lean body mass (on an average height male). Your shoulder thickness (front to back) has to increase in proportion to the arm size when your arm is hanging to your side. Increasing shoulder thickness front to back means more body mass. You've never seen anybody with huge ripped arms and tiny should caps....the body will just not do that regardless of what you try. The fastest way to incredible looking biceps is to get ripped and you my friend look awesome.
Im a new viewer. Your workout is close to what I'm already doing and im older. Im curious about your dimensions, height, weight. Great stuff and obviously great results.
Hi, Paul Thx for you advices, I follow you on RUclips and Instagram. Just one question, your polo shirt where do you buy it? and which is the Brand? Regards man!
Nothing says you’re a beast like muscular forearms. Big biceps and triceps look great but if the forearms aren’t up to scratch, you will get 🙄 rather than 🤩 or 🤤
This is a great training video! What makes it GREAT, you visually explaining the benefits of proper body mechanics, as well the cons of bad form. By your example, I have been performing incorrect hammer curls (I'll bring them more fwd). Seeing a fellow "Veteran Gym Bro" crush it, I have to SUBSCRIBE. I'll check your content. Semper Fidelis!
If you see the guy from the front the first that you see is the torso and right away the chest, later check if he has a beer belly and last the arms. If you see him from behind the legs first later the calfs and last the @ss 🤷♂️ unfortunately no a lot guys workout the legs and abs 😄
Paul, great video! I was looking through your video library trying to find content as to sets, reps, and days in the week you do arms. Do you have push/pull days or focus on body parts like; chest/back, biceps/triceps/shoulders and then legs. As an older lifter with a goal to have a well rounded physic, it makes sense to copy/follow what is working for older guys that have great bodies. Any feedback would be great. Thanks.
Sometimes I wonder why other biceps and triceps are so defined and bigger. For some it's training, for others it's training and steroids, for some it's anatomy. Here in this video I noticed that the attachment of the muscles is longer than average. The mass of the muscles, such as the biceps, is concentrated over a shorter distance, so that the muscle appears more massive. The same can be seen in the forearms. The Brachioradialis starts very close to the elbow. This is not intended to belittle the achievements. It's just a consideration of why some people get visible results faster than others

Excellent material. For a beginner im so glad i found this channel
Os seus treinos são maravilhosos gostei muito também gosto de cuidar da saúde as suas dicas de treino não vai me ajudar muito aqui
I just really want to know what your pharmaceutical cycle looks like. Is it about 250 g of test per week? And what else are you kind of mixing in
I'm gonna start doing the quad pose from now on because nobody is doing it.
Thank you for showing the instructions on how to do these correctly. I'm forty and trying to get myself in shape. Something I wish would have done a long time ago. These videos are well appreciated
Happy to help! Never too late.
I am now 82 .Can I do this.

Are you on steroids? Or hgh ?
Whats the best way to focus on the upper part of the long head?
There are many variations that work well. The key is concentrating in the contraction and execution. Give the incline biceps curl a try.
You make those forearm press ups lookbso dang easy! Great stuff, thanks.
One of my favorite exercises. Glad to help!
thanks for the info paul! you are leading the way!
Is there a video from you about nutrition and supplements? Obviously we want to know about trt if you’re on it etc. Thanks for all the great content
Many thanks for your sharing. 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Biceps curl

triceps push down
triceps push up
buy a form fitting polo shirt.
You’re welcome.
Love the information. Good info, but can you please post your cycle schedule. Pls have integrity and don't say you are natty. Thanks.

Skinny on juice doesn’t look natural
What does this mean
MAASHA-ALLAH GOOD BICEPS ...(what Allah (SWT) has willed)
I like your watch what model .
Most guys have great arms (and delts) but lack in their abs and chest development. So why?
Paul I have just purchased second hand a home multi gym which has a high and low cable pulley system with a fly and push for chest. So what can I do on this machine . Cheers
This is hilarious - he is jacked to f**k 😂 do bicep curls and lots of PEDs … he keeps it that simple
hey paul.. iam 52 ..how meny times per week ..biceps and triceps..greets
I disagree. I have wide and broad shoulders so I don't need to pose at all.
However, yes, arms are also a good indicator for an overall strong body.
But arms alone - no.
With perfect concoction of TRT, steroids and synthetic muscle silicon surgery 😊
5-10 rounds of triceps? And 3-5 of biceps? Sounds too much for triceps.

Мужик у тебя на видео просто огромный бицепс!!!если не секрет сколько обхват руки на пампе???
When in doubt, wear a schmedium. 60% of the time, it works every time.
A guide to learning I encountered: s-UP-inate = palms UP!
Nice, but form doesnt matter nearly as much as someone juicy like you as it would for a natural lifter
Your structure is the structure i also want. I dont want to be gigantic. Thanx brother.
All you need is trt! Lol
I don’t like how he puts an “s” at the end of bicep everytime he says the word :/ lol
DID YOU FORGET TO TALK ABOUT THE STEROID CYCLE INJECTIONS EVERY WEEK TOO???
My arms are bigger than his, I would tell you to do dips and pull ups. I do them daily
I have always performed dumbell curls buy starting and finishing the movement with my arms by my sides. Keeping palms up and resting on thigh at bottom for curls makes a massive difference.

Out of curiosity Paul. What size are your arms?
Good question. Kind of like my calories, macros, and micros, I don't keep track. Will measure when I get to work tomorrow.
Why is it all about arms having big arms means nothing to me just more muscle to smash to bits with my massive fists!
how much do you weigh? 130-135? thanks
The people that would be impressed by big arms are not the people I want to impress.
To answer the first question: the back
Not enough mass my friend, to slender for my style
Pick your poison 😂😂
Cant say better for sufferings
How to make your Biceps look big. Wear a small polo 😂😂
Good stuff! Brofessor 💪🏼
The neck and traps is the first sign,, not the biceps unless you have developed forearms which 95% dont have
My dominant arm is smaller than my other arm. any suggestions?
Hello,,, from Texas,can you recommend a routine for a 50 yr old, I wanna put on muscle. Thanks
Hop on my online training program. Same program I designed as use currently at 52. Paulsklarxfit.com

Had a shoulder injury for about 6 weeks and the last couple months i've had muscle wastage, trying to build it back up
Do you have a specific workout for your upper traps?
Yeah go buy smaller shirts. :kappa:
Are you natural? Not huge but just wondering
You very good looking love what you doing
Can love you man
Paul’s biceps look crazy… I see you my man!
always working!

People think a lot of things and are usually mistaken. The sign of true strength and a powerful physique is a big strong back.
just buy a tee shirt two sizes too small....keep it simple

Great video. I’m surprised you do hammer curls with lighter dumbbells than your regular curls. For me it’s just the opposite.
No Overhead triceps exercise ?
Hey Paul I have a great question my left bicep is torn how or what kinda exercises can I do if that’s even possible?
So, what's your poison?? 🤔
I subscribed because of this video
I haven't taken my shirt off in front of anyone in 14 years. I see why every day. I work abs often, but just often enough.
Likes ur Lower chest & shoulders ❤
Chins for me to do biceps.
Great move on the triceps. Almost a full body move.
