ITT: Exercises that you don't do
squats
>>35034257
squats
dips are amazing. They work out chest better than benches, and traps if you do them slightly differently.
Those are two of the most aesthetic muscles you want to get bigger.
I don't do anything, I just come here to look at pics of you guys.

Start doing them, fatty.
>>35035171
There are better alternatives doe.
OHP
My shoulder mobility is awful, so I have to do dumbbell shoulder press, and even then use a bit of an arch so that I can actually press them up.

>>35035216
They cant compensate.
>>35035177
>implying
- manly as fuck
- carryover to real life
- lats and rear delts for that v-taper
- when you get gud start doing weighted for max lats blitz
- moving your body through space gives alot more training than lat pulldowns
sure, you might find alternatives for pullups, but you won't find 'better' alternatives
>>35035216
The press, flys and cables
>>35035177
Pull-ups and chin-ups are the best best vertical pull and can't be replaced. If you don't do them you'll always be bad at them.
>>35035190
Shoulder dislocations x1000 and band pull-a parts (these are stretches google it)
OHP is important for pressing strength, literally the most unreplaceable press.
>>35035145
If you've been to snap city then fair enough
If you're afraid of snap city how about learn good form you fucking pussy?
>>35035080
Do you also do lat pull-downs in fingerless leather gloves faggot?
>>35035079
Fair enough.
>>35035034
No chest strength senpai. Weak beta bitch.
>>35035024
Dips are 'ok'.
I wish I could do dips, I'm too fucking fat still ;_;
>>35035234
but why not the bench? technique, injury or do you just dont like it?
deadlifts (i'm not a IPL powerlifter)
Squats (I do hack squats cause fag)
Any bodyweight shit (dips, pull-ups, etc.)
>>35035322
You're right, you're not, you're a weak woman.
>>35035225
dont need to compensate, I have a nice face.

>Shoulder dislocations x1000 and band pull-a parts (these are stretches google it)
I have tried both of these for a while and saw pretty much no progress. I'll get a bit more flexible after a few sets of dislocations, but I'm back to square one when I try again the next day.
>>35035342
There's literally no reason to not deadlift or squat, UNLESS you're injured and CANNOT do it.

I hate dickweeds like you. Not everyone does the same shit and not everything works for everyone.

You don't do them once and give up. You do them 4x a week for at least 3 months.

You do it 50 times in one session, however many sets it takes and hope to god you are able to do more than 1 next week.
Buy a door hanging chin-up bar and use it every time you enter the room (put it on the kitchen door fatso)
>>35035417
Oh looks everyone! The neckbeard is mad! Look "breh" what works for you might not work for me so put a lid on the hate. You remind me of the kid in highschool back in the day. "Hey man take a puff of this, if you don't you're literally a pussy".
>>35035478
>squatting or deadlifting doesnt work for me
lol, does eating not work as well because of your naturally high metabolism or some shit ?
>>35035478
Hey Reddit, just so you know, there's no expectation to respond at all to 99% of the shit spouted on here.
>>35035435
I don't know how much your already working out, but scooby has a pretty good beginners guide to pull ups and chin ups. I followed it and got to 8 pull ups pretty fast. I did start from skinny fat though, so if you're overweight it might be good to lose some more kilos before doing them.
>>35035448
are you my boss
>>35035435
then do one pull up, wait 3 minutes, try to do another one, repeat.
eccentric pull ups, band assisted pullups, lat pulldowns also help.
>>35035123
It's not like I did a single dip and then gave up. I did them regularly. However, after a while my sternum started to hurt. And also not fat at all.
I need to share a fucking story.
I asked my bud to help me move 2 dryers, a washing machine, and a deep freeze when I was moving to my old place. He was working out for 4 years, I was on my 1st year. He didnt squat or DL. He was only able to help me with the dryers, and couldnt move the other 2. My mom literally had to help me lift them. That kid was so fucking weak when it came to real life tasks jesus christ.
Please for god fucking sakes do at LEAST EITHER squats or deadlfts. You dont have to do both you whiny bitch but at least do one so you arent completely fucking useless at real life shit.
>>35035150
fucking noob you're supposed to clench your scapula and retract your butthole
>>35035522
I don't think so m8
>>35035217
think about your grip, if you have your hand facing inwards or outwards matters. Also don't just drop down you have to go down in a controlled way. you also dont have to go all the way down to work your triceps. I also have hurting shoulders from dips sometimes but these precautions work well.
>>35035216
compensate for what? chest strength? horizontal press strength?
chest strength and development; dips
horizontal press strength: useless
>>35036013
this post is useless, the anon you replied to is simply inflexible and immobile
he needs to stop being a fatass whos only physical activity is lifting weights and stretch
>>35035245
Hey Mr. Policeman, I don't want no trouble, just gonna do my diddlyifts on the floor.
>>35036109
Maybe, i'm just trying to help with training though, which this board is for.
OHP
My back arches too much. The only way I can do it is with a weightlifting belt.
>>35034257
>dips
paused cgbp works way better for me, although i did a lot of dips way before when i first started
>conventional deads
sldls and rdl's are better for posterior chain gainz and it'd be too straining to implement conv. deads on leg day since i'm currently doing power-hypertrophy lppx split with heavy squats and front squats on leg day
i do 1-5rm conventional deads when i want to show off
Cleans. I want to, they look fun, but I'm not going to. I don't even know why.
>>35036332
Use a lower weight you kek
>>35036654
This. Getting buttmad and trying to push your OHP higher since you're sick of stalling will just hurt your back. Increase volume at a weight you can do with good form instead of increasing weight. Or dip into some micropl8s.
>>35036654
I am fine OHPing 45kg, but at 47.5kg it starts arching. So I just do seated instead, and I can do DB 30kg shoulder press.
Squats
not even memeing

Push ups. I hate them. Remind me of my HS days. I take good care of my chest so I don't feel I need them anyway.
Also pick related. I feel they fuck my shoulders.
Any variation of cleans. There's just way too much room for injury.
>>35035293
There are better chest exercises. The bench is inefficient.
Had to give up on these to make room for power squat thrusting competition training
>>35037174

I can do lots of dips but they don't seem to do anything for me, which is why i'm switching to bench press, maybe the added volume will work
Bench, don't miss it one bit
I do dem dips tho.
>>35035216
I prefer Dumbell press, incline and declined to work my chest.
With the barbell, I do all the work with my shoulders and I can't help it.

>>35034257
Pullups.
What am I supposed to do when I can't even do one, and the only place I can do them is on the cable machine? I already have to jump to grab them, so I can't do negatives.
>>35037934
Lose weight, do the heaviest pull downs you possibly can. When you can do one proper pullup, do it. Then wait for 30 seconds and do another, and keep doing it until you have a minimum of 20-30 in a day. Once you do actual pullups you will quickly be able to increase the amount you're able to take.
>>35038033
I weigh 125. Does it matter if the pulldowns are one armed? That machine is the only one my apartment gym has and there are only the handles.
>>35038061
It matters, but as long as you get stronger lats, it'll help you towards pullups. Rows and deadlifts will help you as well, just not as much as heavy pulldowns, and especially not as much as pull ups.
125 kilos I take it, should be plenty to lose from then. If you work out with someone, you can have them assist you doing pull ups by basically holding your feet up, then you decide how much help you need by the amount of pressure you put in his hands.
You WILL be able to do pull ups if you don't quit.
>>35038109
I'd argue that rows, or better yet, bodyweight rows are more beneficial to pullup development than cable pulldowns are.
>>35037934
Smith Machine?
>>35038109
125lbs, 57kg. I don't have anyone to workout with but i'll try to snag someone. It's pretty shit but there is only that specific cable machine and dumbbells up to 50lbs. I can do about 1/4 of a rep and I try to do 5-10 after my workout. Should I ditch the bent over rows in exchange for the one arm latpulls?
>>35038132
Bodyweight rows yeah, except if he can take a lot more weight than his bodyweight in that exercise. The main problem is bodyweight, cut some fat and then it'll be possible.
>>35038152
Oh alright, well then forget about weight loss, you need to build muscle instead. Anything that targets the lats. Do deadlift too.
>>35038139
dual cable machine
>>35038152
Do both bent over rows and latpulls
Back squat
Front squats are GOAT however
>>35035367

I cannot get that high up without assistance
Aren't you supposed to stop when your upper arm is parallel with the floor? (Horizontal line)
>>35038193
I do one armed bent over rows x2/week, SLDLs x1/week, gonna throw in latpulls x2/week. Sound good?
>>35038359
I don't see why not do normal deadlifts, but yeah. Just make sure you force your lats to grow stronger. Do rows with the heaviest weights you can, and latpulls so you think your lats are gonna die.
>>35038293
Idk if that's a meme or what, but you are most definitely supposed to get your chin up to the bar.
>>35038412
It doesn't feel right pulling db's off the floor, so I use the one so I can stand it up.
>>35038421
Well Idk if meme I do hear it a lot, I feel a tightness in my shoulders and wrist if I do it un assisted, I wonder what muscle is particularly failing if I can't get past my forehead/nose.
Its odd because its really easy up until that last point. Feels locked out and unnatural.
>>35034257
Big no-no:
Smith machine
Piss flaps machines aka abductor/adductor machines
Leg Extension machine
Chest Fly machine aka "Fuck my shoulders up" machine
Shoulder press (it will force an unnatural movement of your shoulder/scapula region 99% of the times)
No:
Leg curl (not prone nor seated) aka the "apply torque tension from my ankle to my knee and fuck my joints up" machine ; still less worrying than the leg extension
chin ups or pull ups with a weighted vest
Mmmh:
Leg press
Almost yes:
Some chest press
Some dumbbell flys
Some low row, possible cable, not machine
yes:
Squat
Bench press
Reverse weighted lunges
Walking weighted lunges
push ups
curls
dumbbell rows
cables (push down for triceps; push up)
duals (Dual Cable Cross Over Machine)
yes if you can:
dips
chin ups
pull ups
all of the above, but with rings
cardio: if you can, swimming > treadmill
if treadmill, at least 1.5% incline or you're kidding yourself
stationary bike only allowed only if you're a middle-aged woman

Honest question... New to /fit/ came from /b/ and /pol/ Quit 4chan for a bit started lifting loving it came back for like minded people
But the question now with the unnecessary exposition out of the way.
"Why do so many people here hate squats and deadlifts? It's by far the two best workouts you can do for any form of lifting."

>>35038732
They're great compounds, but they're the easiest to do wrong and snap your shit. Plus there are variations that you can also argue about.
>>35038787
So why not focus on form and posture until you lock it down then work from there?
>>35038800
Because it's easier for people to argue that form is hard and they'll get hurt, than actually practicing and doing it right.

>this kills the lower back
I know I'm doing them wrong but I just can't be bothered. I do deads, SGHPs, pullups, and chinups for back.
I only do cardio once a week
Three 60 second sprints on a resistance bike
I've been having erection quality problems.
Should I do cardio every day bros?
I think it's worth a try to see if i see any improvement, I just don't want to lose weight...
>>35040452
pro tip: do pendlay rows using a belt. Do them with supine grip for extra bicep work
>>35040452
do benched rows dog, much better

Home gym masterrace reporting in...
Bought powertower thingy so I could do dips and pullups in addition free weights.
Dip station is too narrow, hurts shoulders.
Pullup bars too far apart, hurts elbows and wrist.
What waste of money. I installed a separate bar in my garage for pullups. Just a thick metal closet rod between two rafters but works perfect and costs 10-15$. Still can't do dips though...

>>35042488
What he said made sense though?
The bars are already high so he has to jump to grab them for a normal pull-up. He can't get himself at the top by any way, so he can't do the negatives.
>>35042505
>The bars are already high so he has to jump to grab them for a normal pull-up.
what is sliding a bench under the pull up bar?
what is jumping harder, and pulling while jumping?
seems like a faggy excuse to not do the BEST back exercise of all time.

I was referencing to the shoulder press machine, hence the reference to the unnatural movement. There's no reference to OHP.
>>35034257
I used to do them but stopped once I switched to a gym where the dip bars were parallel.
>>35042769
ohp is referred to as "shoulder press"
when you said chest fly machine and not shoulder press machine, i assume you meant freeweight press.
>>35042218
3 minutes? Probably not, but some are more anatomically prone than others, and I'd imagine someone with ED would want to cut anything that might contribute to the problem.
deadlifts. literal meme lift and one way ticket to snapcity. look at omar isufs recent video he literally snapped his back. wonder why?? because of heavy squats and deadlifts

"but you don't ever really do X outside the gym"
>lmao u dont fukn lift lmao ur not exceptional
Are you retarded?

That wasn't my argument, go back to tumblr bitch. Also....did you ever think that doing a 400lb deadlift would translate into the ability to pick up shit besides a fucking barbell?
>but like...why would i ever have to pick up heavy shit ugh?
Kill urself mah boy
>>35044796
You are aware that some people don't live below the poverty line, and don't have to routinely bend over to pick up heavy shit off the ground in real life, right?
Deadlifted up to lol3p8 and then at the first feeling of lower back pain I gave up and haven't deadlifted in a year. no regrets

Faggot, I went from 5 rep wide grip bodyweight pullups to 1plate 5x5 in 3-4months.

>mfw I have dip bars on my pull up tower, but I use them to do squats with a 5 foot bar.
>>35034257
Back squats. I do front squats instead. Also I don't do barbell incline or decline bench. Just do flat barbell bench.

>implying you live above it
>implying you or your family have enough money that you'll never have to lift anything in your life
>the obvious implication that you will never live on your own because you're too busy supposedly living the good life at home with mommy and daddy
you don't have to be able to do it routinely, but being able to do it is nice.

yep snap city for 3 weeks after deadlifting an extra rep for being an idiot, back still hurts months later if I try more than 2 pl8s, dropped that lift asap after that.

That and you can see the same progress by doing other workouts, there really isn't a need to squat or deadlift, google kinobody. That motherfucker is aesthetic as fuck and doesn't squat or diddie.

>Only gay men find backs sexy
confirmed for beta neckbeard with no real female friends. All of my female friends find a nice back fucking attractive.
>>35035411
with weighted back hyper extentions.
>>35042517
fuck yeah thats why I did today, I can barely do 3 pullups on my own so I keep doing negatives with a bench and right now my arms are sore as a motherfucker.
>>35034257
>I don't do curls or any other isolation movement because it's boring
>I hate back squats but I do them because I know they're important (I love front squats and deadlifts though)

>On not calling "The Press", "The Shoulder Press:"
>We just call it the press, because how could you press without the shoulders? You can leg press... but that's gay.
>>35038732
cause people are stupid and lazy
squats and dl are the two hardest exercises, this iswhere you lift the most weight, has the biggest ROM and lose/build the most fat/muscle (depending on food intake)
