For Those over 40: Do NOT Perform These 8 Muscle-Building Exercises

8.   Deadlift

This strenuous exercise is done by super-fit athletes. If your goat is to increase and maintain stamina, deadlifting can be a great way to do it, but not when you’re pushing 40! Yes, you can lift weights, but the slightest error can lead to disastrous effects on your neck, back, arms, and legs. That’s a pretty scary thought, to say the least.
