The most useless excercise???

[A.B]

Time in and time out in the gym you see these people do the dumbest things, but what about excercises out there that are not important for you?

For me its decline bench, no range of motion that will stretch the pec... I have NO use for them.

What about you guys? excercises that just dont cut it?

Hmmmmm, I'm gonna have to think about this one. I do declines, just not that much.

Probably forearm curls....You either got big forearms or you dont.....Or those lat pullover machines(dont know what you would call them) never did anything for me and very awkward feeling. My delts press against the side of my neck and I dang near pass out when trying those...

Decline bench is the most worthless exercise I've tried; incline is one of the best.

Tricep kickbacks are about as useless.

I love forearm curls and my forearms grew considerably doing them. You have to do a lot more volume on forearms and calves to make them grow.

That would be primarily a tricep movement...right?

Leg extensions

Forearm curls do work but heavy supported wrist roller is a great addition to them. I'm not much for decline bench, incline and flat work for me.

 

[Bagua]

Crunches.

Everything works, but nothing works forever...and I'll leave it at that!

Declines are a waste of time for me too

Leg extensions

Leg extensions are a bit hard on the knees so I only do them with light weights

 

[Diesel14]

Abductor/Adductor Machines- I have no use for them

Also the Abs machine- fucking useless and feels awkward as shit.

 

[THE-DET-OAK]

i never do decline, never even tried it for a while to see if i like it

Ya, alot of guys with great genetics that are from that era and earlier swear by some things I personally don't like much. I do like this article though as it summarizes my reasoning: http://www.t-nation.com/free_online...ormance_repair/the_truth_about_leg_extensions

In my opinion Decline bench is the most worthless exercise I've tried; incline is one of the best. Tricep kickbacks are about as useless.
