10 practically useless exercises

[Irish Beast]

Had this article posted on facebook and made me think a little bad. I have never done most of them, never heard of some. The only ones I do are curls and occassionally squats on a smith machine when getting back into leg training.


Seems to be some logic in why the exercises are practically useless. Just thought it worth sharing and discussing

Absolute garbage article 

"Seems to be some logic in why the exercises are practically useless" - no, there really isn't - unless a muscle has self awareness and can differentiate between one exercise and another. "Oh, I'm doing leg press now instead of squat, we don't need to contract on this exercise".

Seriously this article is basically ignoring physiology 101.

It all basically focuses on the old Compound is better than isolation bit... which of course it is but both have their place at the end of the day. 

I cant be the only one that sees skinny teenagers doing flys and tricep kickbacks and wonders what they think they're going to achieve?

I would take a lot of that article with a pinch of salt.

Of course @righty Just something light hearted. No matter how 'lame' these exercises are made to be they sure as hell beat sitting on the couch!
