Most people over 40 don’t need heavier squats. They need smarter ones. In this video, I break down every squat variation, from beginner to advanced, so you can build strong legs without destroying your knees or back. You’ll learn: • How stance changes which muscles you train • The safest squat progressions if you’re over 40 • Why single-leg exercises can build serious strength • When barbell squats make sense — and when they don’t • What to do if you have knee pain or a herniated disc I’ve trained for over 20 years and used to squat very heavy. After a herniated disc, I learned this the hard way: 👉 You don’t need to do every exercise you see on social media. 👉 You don’t need to compare yourself to anyone else. 👉 You just need the right variation for your body. Train smart. Train controlled. Build strength that lasts.
