Certified personal trainer Rob Moal from Vancouver recommends daily exercises targeting grip, triceps, rear delts, and rotator cuffs for men over 55 to counteract age-related muscle loss.
The five exercises—rope cable tricep pushdowns, farmer’s carry, Zottman curls, lying side lateral raises, and rear delt machine fly—are designed to enhance arm strength, independence, and shoulder longevity.
Moal emphasizes that focusing on grip and triceps is crucial, as these decline fastest with age, while biceps and shoulders also require targeted work to maintain functional strength and active lifestyles.
