What's the most overrated/or useless exercise?

[CowPimp]

Hmm.... I think bench and curls are important exercises, and I usually do some variation of them. I don't think flat bench is necessarily the BEST exercise, but it's certainly one of the best. Maybe it's not the BEST for body building, but I would think that powerlifters would consider it a pretty important exercise.

I think they are good movements too, but I still say bicep curls are overrated. It's not a useless movement by any means if you are a bodybuilder, but overrated certainly. Show me a routine made by someone who knows dick about lifting and I will show you a routine with curls in it. Bench press as well.

As far as useless exercises go... it's really useless people. For example, that fat chick on the diet coke diet who's been on the sit up machine for the past 20 minutes. NOONE CAN SEE YOUR ABS ANYWAY. Or the guy who does bicep curls in my gym's ONE SQUAT RACK.

Hahahaha.

For some reason Smith Squats really annoy me. I just don't see the point. Actually, I think I just hate the smith machine in general. But it could be good for old people who might die if they drop the weight on themselves.... which brings us back to P-funk's "Any exercise is useful if you know how to use it."

I hate smitch machines too. They can suck my ass. There is no reason to use one unless you like to force yourself to push through a totally akward range of motion. No movement is done in a perfectly straight line. Movements occurs in arcs. Just squat in a rack with the proper setting of the pins and it is safer than a smith machine in my opinion; they give a false sense of security.

So yes, you just read all of this to get the same point someone already said. Yes, reading this successfully made all of you a little bit dumber.

Success!
