The exercise you hate

Leg day in general. I always feel like I had the crap kicked out of me.
 
I don't really hate any of my exercises. I only do ones with which I am comfortable. This is especially important to me because I have no spotter, and if I screw up, well, it's certainly not a good thing. Plus, weight lifting is supposed to be enjoyable (which is kind of strange considering you go through so much pain willingly), so why do exercises you hate when you can substitute them with ones you love?

I know what you mean:laugh:
However I just love the pain and knowing that Iam going to get some serious Hypertrophy resulting in me pushing myself harder and further than I did on my previous workout. Thats why I'am such a big user of trisets and the superset as well as Fiascia Stretching. Nothing better than getting your eyes to water then phisically colapsing and not having the energy to get up when you've still got a lot of work to do during your workout. Also theres nothing better than DOMS the next again morning which is another reason to push yourself 110 per cent everytime you enter the gym.:D :thumb: :D

who else here hates Leg Extensions!! i hate it because of my bad knees
Click to expand...

I sort of went overboard with the amount of weight i used for leg extensions, and now my left knee hurts when i stand on it straight and try to push it back..
:(
 
for me, abs are so boring, i just never want to do them
and i dont like laying on my back on a dirty floor...

I like Barbell curls, but they make me so outa breath sometimes


and this weird things happens when im failing on overhead/behind neck press
My right or left nut, starts to tingle and it feels liek its gonna shoot up real fast....lol...
 
I HATE lunges. I can't keep my balance and I look STUPID!!!!

NO PAIN NO GAIN!!!
I have no spotter as well doesn't stop me squatting till I throw up and benching til I pass out.
If you just do the exersises you like and are comfortable with your gains will be limited as you are limiting your exrsises and limiting the angles at which you are hitting your muscles.You are also limiting your reasons not to get stuck in a platue and limiting how much you confuse your muscles by using the same exersisies all the time.You are also limiting growth by not going to faliure (which I presume you don't as you only stay in your comfort range) and limiting how hard you push yourself to get 100 per cent out of your workouts.

I do this to get stronger and to have a good time staying healthy, not to kill myself... The reason I take it easy is because I almost dropped the bench bar on my neck (with no one else home) and I'm not too keen on trying it again. I also don't have hours everyday to work out and hit the muscles from all sorts of angles that don't have much more benefit than core lifts. I'd rather spend half the time wisely than spend twice the time getting a small amount more out of my workout. Plus, going to failure seems very pointless to me. Why make yourself incredibly weak and vulnerable after a workout? Sure, you won't be as strong as you usually are (if you're doing it right), but there's no reason to go to failure because not only does it take far too long, but it also makes you waste the time after the workout by having to recover before you can really do anything. Besides, what I want out of a workout is different from what you want, and what works for you might not work at all for me. I'm not trying to make anyone angry or anything like that, I'm just explaining my answer.

The only way you would bench till you pass out is if
a. You stopped breathing when you are exercising (a common problem with newbies)
b. You suffocated yourself by dropping the bar on your trachea and collapsed it.
c. You really didn't pass out, you just pretended to.
 
abs because it takes so long. you cant just do a couple of reps.

whoa didnt want to hear this..shit u tryin to ruin my day>
 
Actually I don't think crunches really do much of anything for abs (although I've never tried them weighted, so I don't know about those). I like leg lifts and I'm gonna start trying leg arm lifts.
 
you mean V-ups? ;)

anyway exercises are supposed to be hard, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't do them :)

Fair enough you've got your reasons for trainning I've got mine. I know what you mean by almost dropping the bar. I also train at home and have no spotter and have done this a few times!
Core lifts do have a place in bodybuilding and a big place at that however you should never leave out isolation and other exersises which hit independant muscle groups. This is the only way that you will get full benefit out of your workouts and fully tax and recrut all of your muscle fibers from each independant muscle group.Ussally core lifts flush blood and nutrients into all the major muscle groups that are getting used. However when your isolating a certian muscle group this muslce will get flushed with blood and nutrients and have a much more efficent workout than if you had just simply proformed compond moves for a whole body workout.Another benefit in using isolation exersises is they will tax diffrent muscle fibers giving lacking muscles more shape and size had you simply done compond moves.It doesn't neceserally take longer to train this way you just have to train diffrently using diffrent exersises and use your time in the gym wisely. Your workouts should be based on the workout you have to do rather than trying to workout for hours, anyway after about an hour and a half Cortisol production is so high it starts to be contruproductive to you working out.
Your thoughts behind trainning to faliure is flawed trainning to faluire is the best way to make sure you recruit all of your muscle fibers by completly dsepleting ATP stores. Thus having more potential for Hypertrophy as well as a higher release of growth hormone and test.Trainning to faliure (IMO) is a much more productive way to train and provides far greater results than simply going for a set number of reps all the time. Going to faliure certianly does not take far to long if you train correctly using full ROM, shock techniques and correct weight. Trainning to faliure will also not make you incredably weak after your workout (this is a myth) as long as you have properly warmed up and cooled down afterwards. You should have a cool down period straight after your workout anyway as well as stretching of this is a very important part of your workout and certianly is not a waste of time.
I understand what you want out of a workout may be very diffrent from what I want or anybody else wants and vice versa
I respect your views and thoughts :thumb:
 
Someone is a tad boastful..

There's just something about training to failure that I don't like. You see, I'm the type of person who likes to have a set workout plan: I like to start my workout knowing I'm going to do THIS many sets of THIS many reps, period. I do warm up and cool down (it's a fast-paced walk, but it's basically just to get my blood flowing and stuff like that), but I rarely stretch (I've read it's almost pointless because nearly all injuries occur within a normal range of motion, if done correctly). What should be incorporated in a warm-up and cool-down period? Lighter weights of the exercises you just did or are about to do? What exactly are shock techniques? Does this just mean doing as much tearing to your muscles as possible? Another thing about working to failure: All you have to do is take a little break, and then you can crank out a few more reps, take a break, crank out a few more, take a break, crank out a few more... see what I mean? That's why I like having a definite number, so I know what I'm doing, how much of it I'm doing, and about how long it will take. Is training to failure mostly for strength, endurance, or both?
