what is far by the most retarded excersise in terms of fitness
rules: it must only be one particular excersise. it can include crossshit excersises but only one
what i think is the most retarded are Good-Mornings
>>36081992
Power snatch.
JUST
>>36081992
There is literally nothing wrong with good mornings you stupid faggot
>>36081992
Wrist curls...
I literally only see skeletrons doing it, its like they think its a cure to their condition.
>>36082028
agree
Deadlifts aka memelift aka highway to the snapper zone
If you want legs, squat. If you want back, row/do pull-ups. Deadlift is a shitty, unsafe exercise with pathetic ROM that was invented for brolifters so they can boast moving obnoxious amounts of weight
>>36081992
i think that the most retarded is OP
>>36082077
lmao

>>36082029
Adding wrist curls to my routine gave me size and vascularity. Went from 11" -> 13" forearms.
>>36081992
Leg extensions
>>36082112
Yeah I do wrist curls with palms up, then palms down, then the captain of crush each 2x10 at the very end of my workouts. Same with calf raises.
>>36081992
I agree, Good mornings, you can just do Romanian Deadlifts and get the same results.
>>36081992
Upright Rows, aka shoulder snappers.
Probably squats with deadlifts a close second.
>>36082125
They're similar, but not exactly the same.
The load being placed more anteriorly on good mornings makes it a different exercise.
Besides not involving the forearms and traps nearly as much.
>>36082125
without having to get a 1 way ticket to snap city.
>>36082077
without the proper form and too much weight.... yeah
Front raises in any form are pointless imo
>>36082188
Why?
They work the front delts nicely, no?
>>36082195
Yea but so does any pressing exercise why waste your time doing front raises? I can see the point in lateral raises because side delt is a lot harder to hit
>>36082226
Not everyone does overhead presses.
>>36082242
>does front raises
>doesn't ohp
Pls be a meme
>>36082255
Oh, quite the opposite.
I do OHP but not front raises.
But I can easily see someone who does lots of bench pressing, not wanting to do OHP, to just add some front raises to get nice front delts.
>>36082286
Bench hits front delts hard. If you bench but don't do The Press™, it would make more sense to do lateral raises.
>>36082242
>>36082255
>>36082286
>OHP? You mean The Press?
>>36082321
>Nice, have some milk friend.
>>36082321
OHP hits the front delts way harder than flat bench pressing, so front raises are necessary if you only flat bench.
Side raises are necessary too then ofcourse.
>>36082390
I don't disagree with that, but lateral raises would be much more necessary than front because at least front delts are getting hit by bench.
Anyway, we can all agree not doing ohp is retarded.
>>36082449
>I don't disagree with that, but lateral raises would be much more necessary than front because at least front delts are getting hit by bench.
Yeah, true.
>Anyway, we can all agree not doing ohp is retarded.
I don't see much wrong with not doing OHPs, just like I don't see much wrong with not doing flat benc presses.
There are many roads to Rome.
>>36082509
>There are many roads to Rome.
Yeah, but some of them are stupid. You should press. Everyone should press.
>>36082568
Why?
>>36082580
Because /fit/ told him to press. I press btw
ITT: Stupid opinions from dyel fags
>lol front raises
>lol good mornings
>lol deadlift
>lol bench/squat/lifting
>>36082625
You don't actually lift do you?
I see people at my gym using the assisted dip/pull-up machines wrong all the time. They grab the sidebars and use one of their legs to push the platform down. It makes no goddamn sense to me.
>>36082704
I have seen this.
The kipping pullup.
>>36082725
>gonna disregard form in for time
im actually surprised that crossshitter's shoulders dont get dislocated
Calf raises
>>36082753
how so? (but bodyweight only)
>>36082827
>He thinks 3x20 calf raises once or twice a week does anything
Calves will always look small
>>36082509
Retarded is a harsh word, but it's just the efficient way to do things. You're hitting front&mid delts plus triceps. You can of course do nothing but isolations if you really wanted to and be fine.
>>36082028
This
Everyone's gonna be jealous when my bubble butt comes in
>>36082862
thats why you do 100 a day
>it will make your calfs look like balls
>>36082871
I've done my share of OHP and even hit 70kg once, but my lateral delts are complete and utter shit.
So imo, OHP doesn't do much for mid delts.
I agree for the rest though.
>>36082140
I did these for the first time yesterday after OHP. Need good alternative for delt growth cause OHP isn't doing much for me.
>>36082921
OHP for front delts, lateral raises and band pull-apart face pulls for lateral delts.
>>36082077
How much is your added weight on wide grip pull up? :^)
ITT: DYELs whining that an exercise is dangerous/snap-inducing because they think they know how to do it properly, while everyone else who actually does know how to do it properly can't fathom what's so dumb about whatever exercise it is.
>>36083178
I guess Ronnie Coleman just didn't know how to squat properly, poor scrub
>>36083326
Everyone else squats and turns out fine. What's his excuse? Can't find a roid that can diminish squatting pains? He can get fucked
I see girls doing these all the time. There's literally no reason to not just use the leg press machine besides trying to get attention.
>>36082390
If you do any kind of pressing at all, you don't really need to worry about additional front delt work, at least not from a balance perspective.
>>36082568
Okay Mark/Justin
>>36083601
I think the front delts would lag behind if you only did flat benching, but maybe you're right, I'm not sure.
>>36083006
There is literally no reason to use a wide grip on pull-ups.
>>36083748
Sure there is.
>>36082028
this, they are great
>>36082140
this is the correct answer
Alternative answer: Tricep pushdowns
>>36083748
>muh rom
Some people like the challenge, fuccboi
>>36081992
I do them because my gym doesn't have a hyperextension thingie
>>36082725
I'm really surprised the thread's gotten this far before someone mentioning this.
>>36083813
To be fair, the OP asked for an actual exercise.
Not some the movement of a dying fish flailing around.
>>36083791
What's wrong with pushdowns? They're just an easy pump exercise.
>>36083411
Sloots gone sloot. If you see this the best thing to do is walk past and fart as your ass comes parallel to their head.
>>36083827
Nothing.
>>36081992
elbow pulverizers aka skullcrushers
>>36083827
There's nothing wrong with them per se, I just find them to be a bit redundant assuming your workout includes proper pushdowns. desu I'm just salty because the bros who never leave the dumbell/machine area of my gym hog everything with a cable to do pushdowns
>>36083895
>assuming your workout includes proper pushdowns
This was supposed to say "includes proper push compounds"
>>36083879
These are fucking awful, especially once you get to be about 20-21 for some reason.
The real answer is all the dumb body weight exercises that chicks do from Cosmo. Shit is always retarded.
Bonus: Any work out that focuses on abs
>>36083918
A couple quick ab sets at the end of your workout are fine.
>>36083918
isolating abs is legit
correcting anterior pelvic tilt or to balance out a strong low back
I don't know why you would do good mornings when you could just do the same movement with the bar in your hands. Much safer
>>36081992
The fucking abomination that is the upright row. Unnatural moving pattern, and worse at hitting whatever you are trying to hit than other exercises. High risk of snapping your shit up. I don't know why everyone in my gym does it.
The leg extension has a shit ROM. I guess it is good for isolating quads but can easily fuck your knees up. Also inferior because a machine.
Leg press too. It is somewhat ok if you can't squat but if you can I see no reason why you should. Can also snap your knees.
People who do really light weight DB SLDLs
>WHY
Upright rows, skulls, good mornings can all be legit depending on your form, ROM, and personal leverages.
Front raises are retarded though, unless you don't do any flat or vertical pressing. In which case you're a retard.
>>36082028
SLDL/RDL are superior and work your grip too.
Good morning is for dumbasses
>>36082967
Why no rear delts?
>>36084150
Because the guy asked for an alternative to upright rows?
Band pull-apart face pull hit the rear delts hard too by the way.
>>36084176
True that. Too bad I see noobs not retracting thier scapula when doing this and getting little to no benefit from it.
>>36082725
there's nothing wrong with kipping if you do it correctly. i bet you dont even know why they do them
This entire thread summed up:
>There's NOTHING wrong with _____, as long as _____.
Bonus points if two anon argue about it.
>>36082029
Best forearm accessory.
>>36083411
when men in really short shorts do this i get mad
>>36082077
I don't deadlift because I almost had a hernia during my first month lifting, but even I know you're a retard
>>36084364
>>36084364
Bullshit, this is a great thread
>>36083411
Why do people even do this?
It looks insanely unsafe ( can't get pins back correctly with feet, or can't get weight up etc), and it is just a leg press.
Just squat or leg press lol.
>>36084477
Girls do it to show off their tits and ass.
>>36082029
If you're some muscular dude who also happens to be fat as fuck, sure you can skip them. Your wrists will be plenty thick because of the lard. If you actually aren't a fat piece of shit, your forearms need a workout so they don't look like twigs.
>>36084549
skeleton detected
If you do heavy deadlifts ,chin-ups/pull-ups, and rows, your forearms will be fine.
>>36081992
I fucking hate Good Mornings because of the name. "Good Mornings" - sounds so fucking stupid.
>>36083879
nothing works my tri like skullcrushers, eat shit weak cunt
>>36084394
>penis envy
>>36084608
just call them hip hinges then
