Worst exercises for aesthetics but best if you want to snap your shit up:
>squats
>deadlifts
>OHP
>bent over row
>bench
low quality bait
add chin ups and its literally my whole routine.
Stop listening to the fat texan man anon
>squats
They're actually pretty good if you stop giving a shit about how much you can squat and focus on the technique
>deadlifts
I agree with you on this one, the exercise is sub-par at best and is only used for dick measuring contests between morons
>OHP
Almost everyone who hates OHP has no shoulders anyway, so what are they afraid of damaging?
>bent over row
Never tried it, so I can't say
>bench
It's not the worst, but a simple dumbbell press outmatches it in every way
same poster
>Post your most hated exercise.
curls, but this applies to most isolations in general, they are just boring and if I can avoid them in my programming I do.
Then what is a good OHP for you?
I love curls. Nothing beats the feeling of getting an insane bicep pump. I'll leave the gym on my pull-day and my biceps and forearms will be tight as frick.
Add face pulls, pull ups, curls and that's my entire routine
For me its OHP as I am extremely weak at it
Depends what you call "weak". People forget the shoulders are small and relatively weak muscles on their own. OHP isn't meant to be as high as your bench. Even taking 135lbs for 5 reps with clean form is fairly impressive, even if for most other muscles it's light weight.
>OHP isn't meant to be as high as your bench.
Someone wants a word with you
>135 for 5 is impressive
Sometimes I forget thatIST is full of weak people with beginner lifts. Unless you're a woman or super manlet 135 is "I literally just started lifting 4 months ago" territory.
post OHP
post body twink
Easiest yous in the world
Prove it
to be honest I started lifting like a month ago and i did 100 3x5
I did lots of exercise before that though
Post legs
>new to fitness and bodybuilding
>start working out
>start reading shit online like "this exercise is bad" "this exercise is useless", this that blah blah
well? what am I supposed to fricking do?
try everything out until you figure out what works best for you
youre supposed to become indocrtrinated by ripplebreasts and shitposters on IST and become a fat frick who squats 3 plates and benches 1 while spending all your free time insulting people for not squatting dumbfrick
realize at least 1 person thinks everything is bad, especially on the internet where its the easiest thing to post your opinions and realize you need to look at shit yourself
Whatever you want/works for you. Try new exercises for a couple weeks to see how you like them and how you progress. If you don't like it, don't do it. There's more than one way to skin a cat
Kys
also: most hated (as in this thread) usually just means personal preference
Get off IST, now. This place has a terrible mentality towards fitness. If you go on normal sites you will get normal, non-conflicting advice, for the most part.
As no one is help you, see pic related, pick a goal and then google best program for strength/power/hypertrophy/muscular endurance. Compounds are king for strength/power, dumbells/compounds for hypertrophy and machines for hypertrophy/endurance/toning
try things out and see what you like and what you don't
don't like deadlifts?
>stick to pull ups
don't like OHP?
>stick to dumbell seated OHP
simple as that
Squats. Deadlifts are 50/50. Some days I dread them and they feel awful. And some days they’re a lot of fun.
anything leg related.
It just takes too much effort to see any gain.
after years of running, hiking, swimming, etc. I just don't see any results and that's with extreme volume.
I'm solid as a rock and have a great foundation, but it's just so fricking tedious and I do not get any "high" from it like I do with upper body exercises
Fricking hate leg workouts.
Ribs Lu the most common fitness mistake bro
Get it through your head that it does not matter how much effort you put. In fact going with too much effort will be very detrimental. You HAVE to follow an actual program to see real improvement. This means exact diet kcal macros micros every day, and exactly follow the program every day in terms of reps, %of 1RM effort and total
Volume.
You are not smart enough to just wing it so forget about it.
Deadlift and RDL. Just dont enjoy them in any fricking way
Barbell Rows. I get lower back pain from it and my form breaks down as the weights get heavy and end up doing a moronic version of a deadlift. Switched these to straight arm pulldowns and seated row machines.
FORM homie, FORM!!!
>I get lower back pain from it and my form breaks down as the weights get heavy and end up doing a moronic version of a deadlift.
Yeah, it's a row, not a deadlift... You're just doing them wrong.
Lower the weight, focus on you form and contraction.
This anon
is 100% correct
I only squat, front squat and do light RDLs for legs frick everything else. Squats are the real mans lift though, pretty much impossible to cheat without 17 layers of neoprene
I hate squats thats why I put most of my focus on it. I also hate weighted chin ups.
Barbell bench press. It hated me first, I have a bad acromion that only allows me to bench reverse grip without pain; which is cool, but I need a lift off for any real weight. Nowadays I just do DB bench and treat push press as main press.
just fricked my shit up with these
god why did i ever listen to powershitters
I hate deadlifts and I don't do them
I hate homosexual ass crunches. Frick them. Rather do an hour on an ab roller.
I can’t get a feel for shrugs with barbell, dumbbell, or machines. I feel it all in my shoulders when I’m trying to hit traps.
Also lunges are great but I hate doing them
Sumo dead lifts are your friend
can someone help me. I do back squats but when i get to the bottom i lean to my right side. I don't want to injure myself.
I hate deadlifts. I literally squat more than I pull from the floor
I literally go to the gym just to squat, everything else is just to assist.
T-Rexmaxxing
Same, I blame decades of sedentarism ruining my moblity. I am physically incapable of proper form.
Post legs
if your proportions are a bit fricked (long femur in comparison to torso) then it is quite hard to get the form right and squat below parallel when you first start doing it. Especially if your hip flexors lack flexibility from sitting down all day which is pretty common.
However, after you've found your foot placement you can try doing squat twice a week with very low weight followed with stretches to loosen up your hip flexors and ankles or whatever is restricting you. Most people don't have the flexibility to do squat properly when they first start.
Or you can just do Bulgarian splits, they are just as good as barbell squat anyways.
pull ups and chin ups bc im fat frick
Bulgarian splits, i fricking hate them. Not because they're bad but because i fricking suck at them, i have no balance
well your balance will improve the more you do them
Easily the deadlift.
>by far the biggest ego lift
>does nearly nothing for you aesthetically
>huge energy tax on your other lifts
>likely to injure you, form slip ups are punished with potentially severe injuries
>set up time takes fricking forever
dropped them for hyperextensions and never looked back
hated every second of deadlifting
This, they are genuinely miserable to do. I mostly see dyels doing them sumo with chalk, straps, belt, etc. some gay was slamming two plates next to me today too. A massive conventional on a big guy can be really impressive though, and its genuinely a cool lift to watch sometimes, I will just personally never understand it.
>fell for the squats meme
all u need is leg press and leg curls, dont listen to morons telling u to squat n deadlift, barbell row etc. inherently there is nothing wrong with these but if u despise them then u’re more likely to skip a leg day and rush them just to get it over with when you actually do them. i dreaded doing squats and skipped a lot over the years, if i just did leg press instead which is fun i’d have made more gains,
barbell bench press, hated this exercise when I first started lifting under SL. I dropped these in favor of seated dips and DB pullovers.
i have no hated exercises because every exercise makes me that much stronger to strangle israelites
