Hardest Movement

In your opinion, what is the hardest movement for you to do? Hard in the sense that is kicks your ass and has you owned after a few sets.

I'm saying...Bulgarian squats by a decent margin. Even when I do reps as low as three they still have my feeling exausted all over.

Lifting and walking with big ass rocks at camp with P-funk was probably the most taxing exercise I have done. Pushing a car up a slight incline is up there as well.

Back squats or like fu said bulgarians are a bitch!

Car pushing is something I have wanted to try, but the proper scenario never presented itself.

I ran out of gas one time and had to push the car a mile or so. Yeah it sucked!!!

Probably deadlifting for me, especially the higher reps.

The rock thing sounds like the Cool Hand Luke workout- take one pile of rocks and move them twenty feet over to start a new pile. Sounds worse than jail.

That's because the people who said they were pushing weren't really pushing.

Step-ups when I used to do them to a high bench for 12 reps. Heavy clean and presses kill me too. Too be honest most everything I do kicks my ass cause I'm an old man.

Buy an American car, it will present itself soon enough.

We figured it weighed close to 300lbs, so my 1 trip was considerably less than the 30 times he brought it around, but I have done it a million times dumping fat bitches out of the apartment.

Doing 100 yard bear crawls during football training was hands down the worst thing I have ever done in my life. My coach used them us punishment if you got a stupid penalty during a game, or if he thought you were lagging and not giving it 100%.

At first I thought you were talking about the Turkish Star Wars workout...

Nothing has beat the shit out of me more than a 5 set dropset of Back Squats.

Posted by: Uthinkso

Squats in general for me, when I knock out that last set I feel like I was hit by a truck.

Posted by: Gazhole

Overhead Squats, or Step Ups with high reps.

Deadlifts are a given i think, they're always tiring.

That would be the one after a couple of days without any fiber in my diet.

Yeah, if I do high reps for those for multiple set the fatigue usually sticks with me for a while.

I tried them 2 weeks ago and yes they are quite taxing. Real fucking taxing actually. How high of a bench are you laying your nonworking leg on? I was looking at the benches yesterday and they are about 13" off the ground. Seems kinda low..

The HARDEST movement for me is overhead Barbell Presses with this stupid fucking 4/0/x tempo that is in P/RR/S. When the FUCK do I breathe? As I descend? Lots of luck there.. Breathe during the concentric? FUCK THAT. At the isometric? There isnt enough time!

It sounds like the same thing. You basically have to sprint from point a to b on all fours. I saps your energy really fast.

The only lift I dread doing are stiff-legged deadlifts.

Posted by: Mystik

I dont know I made my first mistake at gym going and trying deadlifts. I guess I tried overweight it and made my lower back painful.

Posted by: BulkBoy

deadlifts, bent over BB rows, and power cleans

I breathe during the eccentric part.

I know alot of people use a mixed grip during deadlifts, but what about bentover rows?? would that shortchange the lat exercise?
thanks people

I wouldn't really seeing it matter as long as you made sure you balanced your grip. Each set, switch the supinated and pronated hand. However, why would you want to do this?

I've seen people do it, but I've never know why. I could see it being a grip problem, but I've seen people do this even with straps.

Posted by: Witchblade

I would never alternate grip during bentover rows. The grip changes the exercise, which makes it a really unnatural movement.

ATG squats

don't use straps and I do swap after each set

your right it does feel sort of unnatural, how would an alterantive grip differ from changing between an overhand to reverse girp on each set?

Military press with no spotter.

Pushing a friends car up an icy hill that he couldnt get out of due to his wheels just spinning on the ice. That was a real challenge, had to try and get as much push as possible without slipping on the ice and falling on my face.
