I hate this exercise

[BendtheBar]

What exercise do you hate the most?

Do you continue to use it any way, or avoid it?

[Boom]

I hate squats because of my height and long limbs, but I like what squats do for me.

[Dray]

I hate the flat barbell bench press, but only because it confounds me... ruaaargh!

Not "built to bench" for starters, and for whatever other reasons, it just continues to be the most frustrating lift of all.


edit: But I continue to do it...

i really dont like straight legged deadlifts i threw out my back on them i will never do 1 again

I hate any and all direct abdominal work. I avoid it at all costs. It is boring, painful, and I don't think it's that necessary.

Incline bench press...

1. Pull ups - but its a great exercise to build strength
2. Running - It gets to tiring, especially if done after lifting
3. Push ups - see running
4. OHP's - I take it as the 4th basic lift after Squats, DL and Bench.
5. Back dips for triceps - My shoulders give in
6. Hyperextensions - Idiotic position IMO
7. Lower abs - Hardly manage 5-6 in a set


But I will do them all anyway, if its must. I have already done them. No excuses.

Barbell rows. They tire out my lower back and do nothing for my back. There are about a million other movements that hit my back better.

Front squats. I do them twice a week. We tend to avoid the things we hate, and by instead doing it we will get stronger both mentally and in our weak points.
