Five Daily Moves to Rebuild Upper-Body Strength After 50

An expert-backed guide lists five multi-muscle moves to rebuild upper-body strength after 50: incline pushups, standing band rows, standing overhead band presses, farmer’s carry, and band pull-aparts.

Follow the suggested sets/reps: 2–3 sets of 8–12 (or 10–15 for rows), 2–3 sets of 8–12 for presses, 3 rounds of 30–60 seconds for farmer’s carries, and 2–3 sets of 12–20 for pull-aparts.
