Alright people, this thread is to point out everyone's favorite exercises and why! Also, to discuss our weakest exercises, why we suck at them, and what we can do to improve!
What is great about this community is our ability to learn from each other and get some good feedback and ideas. So, I hope many people participate and we can all learn some new tricks!
MY TOP
1) Bench Press
why- Trained this exercise the most in my years before getting into serious lifting, it therefore became my strongest and most loved category. Also, I just love the feeling and pump I get from bench.
2) DIPS
why- Dips are great, they can hurt if you do them with your body weight. Or they get a nice deep burn if done weighted. They work a crap ton of muscles (shoulders, chest, triceps) and are great for developing strength.
3) Triceps
Why- I love the pump. I like working them until I feel like I am going to physically pop. I get my kicks... haha
My worse!
Legs
why- I believe because for years in the environment I began lifting in legs were not emphasized, we had to wear jeans anyway! lol. This began a negative cycle because once i went so long without doing them it became easy to ignore them (yes i train them now, but I have a LONG way to go)
Deadlifts
why- No idea! I ignored them in the begining of my working out. But, I do them now and am slowly building up strength. I think my weak hamstrings are a problem so I am going to be fixing that!
Biceps
Right now I HATE biceps. For the past 10 weeks I have had a strange injury in my arms and it has been making biceps hell. One day I may heal...maybe lol
