1. Behind the Neck Lat Pull Down
Behind the neck lat pull downs feel good. The problem is that it is awkward, and weight increases the chance that you will hurt your shoulders and rotator cuffs. It can also put extra strain on the neck and neck arteries.
If you do this exercise, keeps the weight really low and perform it slowly. In fact, you can do this exercise without equipment and it feels great on shoulders and upper back after a day hunched over a computer.
Conclusion
As a 40+ year old person, you should continue to exercise. It makes getting older a lot more pleasant. You’ll keep your heart healthy, improve your balance, and keep stiff joints moving.
The problem is that the wrong exercises can hurt you and make exercise a pain instead of a pleasure (and you know it is, especially once your workout is over!).
Avoid grinding knees, straining rotator cuffs, and over-using backs and you’ll be working out and staying healthy for many decades to come. Give your body a chance to rest, feed it properly, and provide healthy but not damaging exercise for the best effect.
