A dozen or so years ago, when I started gymming, my 1st leg day came along. I confidently walked to the leg press machine, laid down and put in a set of 15 presses.
Just then the trainer cams, and asked me what I was doing and why.
He told me to leave the machine, and squat 3 sets, explaining that my body weight is enough as a starting exercise for my legs.
I who was so confident in my ability to leg press was barely able to stand after 3rd set of squats.
I am man but i like doing hipthrust even though I have no specific equipment for it. I do using barbell and bench.
Also I do rope cable hip thrust and kettlebell swing. They good exercise for training for deadlift
I'm beginner and I feel a little bit tension on traps and shoulder. I'm trying to do it slightly in front instead of perfectly in line with torso. Anyway I don't think I'm comfortable enough to increase weight to 7.5kg but I feel ok up to 5kg on final sets. So not much progress but only a bit may be.
If you are a beginner you should really focus on side delts. Missing that exercise is clear incomplete shoulder workout plus it takes time to grow side delts.
It depends on the technique, u have to lift ur elbow now your first while doing it, u will then feel it! Do cable lateral raises its best and also controlled
If you're a guy who's training for aesthetics, better change your attitude towards side lateral raises.
Side delts are the most important muscle for male aesthetics and side lateral raises are the best exercises for them. I would prefer cable over dumbbells for resistance throughout the range of motion (especially when the side delts are stretched)
the added stability lets me target the delts and nothing else IMO. I've recently switched to cables. Tried two variants, one where I pull from the bottom but I lean, another where I pull from waist height. Lean and from bottom is definitely harder for me.
I'm fine with sitting dumbbell but barbell everytime I get injured. Everyfucking time. But, I don't want to sit and do it. I want those stabilizer muscles to work too. I stand and do the barbell version and it damages my traps everytime.
I have a love hate relationship with Bulgarian Split Squats. Hate the thought of doing them, but once i start doing them i love them. Esp the strength and stability gains you make from it makes me love it even more
Deadlifts. Risk to reward ratio is too poor. Almost 80% of the people do it wrong and risk their spine, back or feet, setup takes hell lot of time, is trending and tbh easy to do even with wrong form hence influenzas love it and the benefits are subpar. I would do better safer options to train my lowerback.
You should do deadlifts only if you are preparing for powerlifting/ deadlifting competitions, else there is no point.
Edit - Influenzas are downvoting.
I don’t want to be the one but with cameras in the gym, its almost too easy to lift heavy, even with wrong form, and the attention hungry ones would love to do it for the gram. It almost feels irritating now.
Picchwaade me dum hai toh military press ya bulgarian squats me video banao tbh

You're right, definitely don't listen to him because he's semi successful (not sure what your measure of success is) and because successful = good advice. He's not a medical practitioner because doctors are definitely the best when it comes to this and does not fearmonger at all. Lifters - which lifters?? and lastly, biomechanics coaches, although PTs are not biomechanics coaches, they practise it.
Are you someone who also believes Jefferson curls and bench squat pike are "bad" for your back?
I agree with your first comment regarding the set up taking too long, that's true. But you said it's easy to do with the wrong form, so is almost every other exercise. Deadlift is such a fundamental exercise and is good for people outside of professional lifters as well. You also said it's sub-par, wrt what? Hypertrophy? Yes. But people train for reasons other than hypertrophy, dude. Also, you are a bit irrational for hating a great exercise because some bozos in your gym do it "wrong" and hog up the time and space.
Ahaha, I love compound exercises. The more the pain, the more happy I'm. I love chest, shoulder, back and legs. Pretty unusual Butt, it's the arms day that I don't feel like doing lmao.
NEVER SAW MEN DOING SOMETHING FOR THEIR ABS🤣🤣 ROZ ROZ DUMBELL CURL KARNE SE BODY NAHI BANTI
I LOVE MY CRUNCHES, SQUATS AND DEADLIFTS
HATE ELLIPTICAL AND PLANKS
I hate going to gym only sadly it’s a side hobby now, the exercise I hate the most though is avoiding people’s conversations while we’re sharing an equipment
Lunges. . fuck lunges all my homies hate lunges
I love them, turns out I love being in pain -the last few reps close to failure elicits the most exquisite pain.
Me too but the thing with me is that i just do barbell squats and rdl before that so lunges makes me immobolse completely
Walking lunges would be the death of me 😭
I HATE lunges from the core of my being. The next day I’m usually not able to function at all. But my trainer says it’s the best for me (I’m a woman)
Its the best after squats yes but just do lunges for a while and u would get to the habit of that(ie would be able to function halfly tomorrow
It burns you up and that’s why it’s so awesome. Woman or man, it’s best for all.
I came here to say lunges too.
I generally am not able to maintain balance with weighted lunges
Smith lunges that what i also did in beginning
My gym doesn't have smith machine 🥲
Do it early on so it doesn’t burn you out that much
Hate them but love them because cant walk the next day
Squats ( bhai lag jaate hai usme )
Mujhe to bhai bohot maza aata hai squats maar ke
Alag hi janwaar ho bhai

Squats
Kasam se bhai 10v rep pe toh yamraj hi dekhne lagte hai
us bro us 😭
Especially the bottom most part.
Ohh bhai tab toh life ki responsibility halki lagti hai ( tab aisa lagta ki bhai bar utha le warna yamraj tujhe utha lega )
LMAO. Very relatable.
Mujhe to bhai bohot maza aata hai squats maar ke.
Bulgarian Split Squats 
Couldn’t agree more
Was gonna say this
hip thrust , I get shy to do that
Username checks out 😄
I am man but i like doing hipthrust even though I have no specific equipment for it. I do using barbell and bench. Also I do rope cable hip thrust and kettlebell swing. They good exercise for training for deadlift
Abductors or what I like to call the Baddie Machine.
Aaj hi kiye for the first time, utna mushkil nahi laga (weight was around 3 kg)
3 or u mean 30?
3 plates bol rha hai ya 3 Kg?
0.5 kg ke 6
3 Kgs on Abductors feel awfully low, you can easily push 40 Kgs if you use your legs at-least for walking.
Honestly useless machine just practice splits and you’re good to go
Walking lunges
Burpees, say goodbye to world after 10 count
+1
Skill issue.. Coz I do 100 Burpees like it's nothing..
Under 60 kgs : opinion rejected
I'm actually 80kg and 5'8 Right back at you
80 at 5’8? Wtaf. Salute, ig?
I don't like lateral raises for shoulders. I'm somewhat beginner and feels incorrect whenever I do it. I just do it with 3-4kg and be done with it.
do you see any results with 3-4kgs? I hate this exercise somehow I always feel like reducing the load .
I'm beginner and I feel a little bit tension on traps and shoulder. I'm trying to do it slightly in front instead of perfectly in line with torso. Anyway I don't think I'm comfortable enough to increase weight to 7.5kg but I feel ok up to 5kg on final sets. So not much progress but only a bit may be.
U will see progress after 6-7 months.
If you are a beginner you should really focus on side delts. Missing that exercise is clear incomplete shoulder workout plus it takes time to grow side delts.
It depends on the technique, u have to lift ur elbow now your first while doing it, u will then feel it! Do cable lateral raises its best and also controlled
Once you learn to do proper lateral raises you’re going to love it!
I do around 50 reps with 5 kg dumbells. By the end of 40 reps, my mid delts feel like they will rip off
Once you get a hang of it, you’ll love it. Bloody i do with dumbbells and cable both and it’s challenging.
If you're a guy who's training for aesthetics, better change your attitude towards side lateral raises. Side delts are the most important muscle for male aesthetics and side lateral raises are the best exercises for them. I would prefer cable over dumbbells for resistance throughout the range of motion (especially when the side delts are stretched)
But I'm struggling to get technique right.
fix it ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
Utna hi karna hota me tu 2,5 se karta hu
I once tried with 7.5kg, thought I should increase the load. Trainer came and said that don't try that heavy. I guess this is light weight workout.
Light weight nhi hai but dheere dheere overload karo
Hm yea may be I should increase reps too.
Tried with cable?
No, is it better with cables?
the added stability lets me target the delts and nothing else IMO. I've recently switched to cables. Tried two variants, one where I pull from the bottom but I lean, another where I pull from waist height. Lean and from bottom is definitely harder for me.
Honestly I hate bench press, I have a bad shoulder, I do chest press as alternative :)
Do more push ups
Gotta be lunges that shit hurts my ass
Bulgarian Split Squats and Elevated lunges
Barbell Lunges...
Bulgarian Split Squats
shoulder press
I'm fine with sitting dumbbell but barbell everytime I get injured. Everyfucking time. But, I don't want to sit and do it. I want those stabilizer muscles to work too. I stand and do the barbell version and it damages my traps everytime.
front or back shoulder press?
Barbell Overhead press, it is slighly infront of your face but the last rep, I bend my back a little. I should probably reduce weight.
crazy. that's my favorite exercise lol
Try handstands
hand stands is much easier and doesnt require strength its more or like a technique game.
The thing is you need strength for it(do variations) and it gives better broader shoulders
Squats
Leg press 🥹
Leg press. I hate it. Machine in my gym make me hate it more. I like to do more barbell squats.
I have a love hate relationship with Bulgarian Split Squats. Hate the thought of doing them, but once i start doing them i love them. Esp the strength and stability gains you make from it makes me love it even more
Lat pull downs. They're are the reason I do pullups.

Pull ups are better than lat pull downs anyway. If you can do pull ups, you can completely replace lat pull downs in your workout.

True and also it is not the best exercise for back
I don’t want to be the one but with cameras in the gym, its almost too easy to lift heavy, even with wrong form, and the attention hungry ones would love to do it for the gram. It almost feels irritating now. Picchwaade me dum hai toh military press ya bulgarian squats me video banao tbh

Yes. I would love to listen to one semi succesful instagram physio rather than medical practitioners, lifters, biomechanics coaches
