Favorite exercise?

MuscleRage Posts: 203 Joined: 2001/12/09	2002/01/09, 05:56 PM What are some of your favorite exercises? I would have to say that my favorite exercise is benching or overhead press.

rev8ball Posts: 3,081 Joined: 2001/12/27	2002/01/09, 10:09 PM here's a great variation for skull crushers: do them lying on the floor, using a preacher curl bar. using different size plates (45 to a 35 to a 25), start by lifting the bar off the floor with explosive power, and locking out over your head, then lowering the bar until it touches the floor, then repeat. By lowering to the top of your head and using the different plates, you end up hitting different angles on the tri's heads, since each plate is smaller than the last. It's a great exercise for power and strength in the bench! Michael

Your results are so incredible, yet, if done correctly, you do all you can not to puke after your done. ya gotta be insane to do 'em ("they're coming to take me away ha ha, ho ho, he, he!").
Arnold Posts: 1,112 Joined: 2000/11/27	2002/01/09, 10:39 PM Nothing better than a REAL leg day. It seperates the serious from the amatuers. Heavy squat, followed by Heavy leg presses followed by straight leg deadlifts. By the time you finish you should be at the point of puking and not being able to walk. How I love to train. .o0 Arnold 0o.
rev8ball Posts: 3,081 Joined: 2001/12/27	2002/01/10, 01:23 AM It doesnt separate the serious from the amatuers, just the insane, sick, twisted and demented from those "normal" folks... maybe thats why I will never be normal! *evil laff* Michael
Philia2 Posts: 4,078 Joined: 2001/10/19	2002/01/10, 03:01 AM It's true I like squats as well. I hate when I have to do them, but when I'm doing them I feel a sort of strange power that make me continue lol all madness here. It's easy to say what muscles I don't like to exercise: the biceps and which one I love to exercise: the triceps. What excactly exercise I prefer most, I don't really know... ):

MuscleRage Posts: 203 Joined: 2001/12/09	2002/01/10, 04:45 PM Yeah I like squats too. I understand what your are saying. Especially after you start to do your sets, you get addicted to them and want to continue doing more. SQUATS!!!awesome exercise!!
Philia2 Posts: 4,078 Joined: 2001/10/19	2002/01/11, 02:58 AM We should make a "squat" tourment...... Everybody would just walk around (IF they can walk) looking wild and mumbling silly things....... I'm afraid I cannot join any longer.... My lower back just said stop.....
ltroisi Posts: 764 Joined: 2001/11/06	2002/01/11, 07:51 AM on the squats...oh my low back! Hey Nina I squated with the 45 pd. bar yesterday for the first time in awhile. No pain. I am going to slowly build back up. It was lite but I had good form. My quads were even sore the next day which is weird!
Philia2 Posts: 4,078 Joined: 2001/10/19	2002/01/11, 08:34 AM No it's not weird to get sore muscles after having been doing an exercise for a long time -even if it's light. Your muscle fibres get worked in a slightly different way that's all, and that causes the soreness... I've started doing lots of fentes instead. Kills my legs as well, but no more hurting lower back.
rev8ball Posts: 3,081 Joined: 2001/12/27	2002/01/11, 01:12 PM good to hear, and best of luck to ya for doing those damn squats! take your time, but before you know it, you'll be scaring those lil' personal trainers!! michael
TheAnimal Posts: 2 Joined: 2002/01/13	2002/01/13, 10:17 AM SQUATS all the way. Anybody who don't squat will stay SMALL!!
BillK Posts: 361 Joined: 2000/12/26	2002/01/11, 12:44 PM I love the endorphin rush after squatting to complete failure. Squats really do separate the strong from the weak. Rev8ball, in this sport you must be freaking crazy to be dedicated to pain.

Hi guys, we were talking about favorite exercise in this topic!!!!!! I actually managed to do squats yesterday and you imagine how I walk today.......
rev8ball Posts: 3,081 Joined: 2001/12/27	2002/01/13, 02:43 PM what kinda nut do you take me for, philia2? NEVERMIND! dont answer that.... you can walk? nah, you didnt do them right! just joking.... glad they went "well." LOLOL michael
BillK Posts: 361 Joined: 2000/12/26	2002/01/13, 06:27 PM How are you walking philia2? I hope really stiff; that is if you did everything right. I would have to say all shoulder exercises and legwork are my favorite body parts. What I'm saying is all exercises for those groups are completely painful and I love every freaking minute of every exercise I do to target them. ~billk~
Philia2 Posts: 4,078 Joined: 2001/10/19	2002/01/14, 03:02 AM I can walk (I even had a boxing class yesterday and managed to kick down the teacher lol) but my bumm hurts like h*** My arms are going to suffer today, so I'll probably be mispelling all my letters tomorrow.... Michael, we are all nuts in here, that's what give us the charmy look! Billk, I hate doing my shoulders.... yes they huuuuurts... ): (and why don't you put in your profile for us?)

sanddevil Posts: 31 Joined: 2002/01/13	2002/01/16, 11:07 PM My favorie is really anything to do with legs. I love to work the hell out of them. but if I had to pick one lift it would be Deadlift it targets alot of muscles and takes brute strength.
Ironbod Posts: 71 Joined: 2002/01/18	2002/01/18, 07:10 PM I would have to say that the bench press, squat, and pull-ups are my favorites.
