ITT: personal favorite exercise
Tell what exercise do you think is the very best and why it is biceps curl.
>>
i dont like working biceps at all tbh, not sure why, its just boring as fuck.

my favorite exercise is incline dumbbell press i guess, i feel like a fucking god and i highly enjoy chestpump
>>
Pull ups, easily.

bench press because you know it's true

Pullups is what i enjoy the most
>tfw i can do only 8

Isolateral wide chest because adding so much more weight than I can actually bench makes me feel like a big guy

8 pullups is very respectable for a novice. keep at it and you'll be hitting 15 in no time.

Deadlift. I'm weak but this is the one that makes me feel like I have some semblance of actual strength.
>tfw today is deadlift day

>>30655294
Look up the armstrong method. That shit got me doing so many chins.

I do weighted but you start with bodyweight

My routine
>Armstrong method weighted with 20kg
>1 rep, 1min rest, 2 reps,1 min rest. 3 reps 1 min rest etc etc
>Keep going until you fail a set. then do one more weighted max out set
>Switch to unweighted
>1xF wide grip, wait one min
>1xF med grip, wait one min
>1xF narrow grip chin

I do this twice a week. This routine has taken me from <6reps unweighted to 10+reps weighted, 20 reps unweighted.
>>
I wish I could do pull ups but I'm fat as fuck.
I really like the OHP though.

don't get why no one of you likes doing biceps. the most aesthetic muscle and girls do mire them more than all others.
Fun to train and quickly gets big and beautiful.

actually the like back, shoulders, chest and abs much more. also adonis belt.

don't get tricked into the biceps shit. it's easy to train and grows fast with isolation exercises, nothing more.

a woman that knows about training will see that everything else on you is underdeveloped.

woman are almost always going for the shoulders, chest or back muscles when making out, not the biceps in the first place.

>this is what retarded curlbros actually believe

guessing curls are literally the only thing you're good at which is why your insecure ass is neglecting everything else and going full sour grapes

Why does everyone do weighted chins and not weighted pull-ups? It's like your afraid of gains or something.

Also, what makes you think that just because you prefer one over the other that you don't do both?

In short, go fuck yourself.

Squats / Bench

>implying I said they were different
>doing a back exercise for chest and arms gains
Better focus on your back more during bench press and curls so you don't develope an imbalance.

OHP is my favorite pushing exercise, can't decide between chins and pendlay for pulling.

Seated calf raises are so damn fun, I love pushing my limits with it. And of course curling is next best.
>>
>>30655555
how long did it take you to progress from 6->20 unweighted?

oh, also n-nice quints i g-guess

>preacher curl
>shrugs

In that order. Bis are the most important to girls at sight, but back is more important in bed. If you're plowing a qt3.14 and you have a rock hard back, she's gonna notice.

Pull-ups. Why do I think it's the very best? I dunno. It feels so primal. I'm also partial to exercises that only use ones own body weight. (Sorry, /fit/)

i have a love/hate relationship to pullups

theyre great because I just started to see some sweet lat gains and I can do 3x5 unweighted now but theyre also horrible because hard as fuck when first starting off
>>
Love dumbbell bench to death all time favorite, I used to strictly barbell bench by I change it up and even tho the dumbbells only go up to 120s and its became easy I still don't like to barbell much will just up reps. I also notices my biceps were becoming under proportionate compares to my chest/back so I've picked up biceps allllot more and I'm beginning to love them again. Must be because when you see minimal progress for a long period because you are close to your peek seeing a massive burst is a crazy high.

Honestly most exercises in SS are fucking great.

Dumbbell skull crushers because nothing works my triceps as well as this plus it feels good when you lock out without moving your arms forward

Man makers. Probably the most complete exercise you can do with just a pair of dumbells
