If you could do only ONE exercise for the rest of your training days...
so this is a weird scenario, and I don't know if it was brought up before, but if you were only able to do one and only one exercise for the rest of your life for some strange reason, what would it be?
I mean anything, including running, swimming, rock climbing...
I'll give some options, but if there is an "other" state what it would be.

Scarface, this has been brought up a lot of times. Usually with a lot of ire, too.
I hope that your brought you asbestos underwear, because, pretty soon, it's gonna be "Flame on!".
So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
about another group that actually does something
to improve their lives.

Clean and Press...
Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012

I'd probably run or swim.
If you picked one lift and only lifted that, you'd look like a freak. But I guess everyone would look like freaks then so you'd fit in? Hmm...
But if you picked running or swimming you'd just look fit, but not all that muscular. I'd rather look and be healthy than look like and be a fucking retard.

Squats - hasn't it been shown that lower body development can stimulate development over the whole body even when not directly working it, or am I wrong?

No gym for home, work out floor with 30, but is it for 20 like 30 lb when you no lift it to be for men, for 30 lbs instead? or half is 10 for 20 pounds?

They hurt because they're the biggest muscles in your body and you've been too afraid to work them properly, so any amount of work causes a lot of DOMS. Originally Posted by danny81

Overhead running lunges. Basically holding a BB overhead, and doing very fast lunges. And you could do presses as you lunge.
Who said you can't get a full workout with one movement?

They stop hurting once you work them out routinely. You stop getting DOMS when your training program is correct. Originally Posted by danny81
