Bench press, bc for how strong I am my bench numbers are week. Pretty much bc of my body type with long lanky arms. Yet I can dumbbell press like a beast.

I have fairly long arms and do alright. I think you just need to work on technique.

burpees

Side Burpees kick my arse every time.

Pullups. Old baseball injuries mean my throwing shoulder pops mid pull-up.
Love power cleans. Something about literally throwing 3 plates up pretty much gets me hard.

Overhead Press. I just suck at progressing with it.
Yeah what someone else said, quit doing leg curls
4. The Hamstring Curl
Why: This is simply another easy machine to work out on.
Why not: When you’re out riding or running, how often do you stretch forward and pull your feet onto your back, while being held in place? Never? OK then.
Try this instead: The traditional squat and deadlift provides all the stimulus you need for building super strong and powerful legs and back.
5 waste of time exercies
1. LEG-CURL MACHINE
Why it's useless: Your hamstrings perform two movements: knee flexion and hip extension. The leg curl machine works only knee flexion, which limits the benefits, says Muelrath.
What to do instead: Choose a machine or movement that works both hamstring functions at once, such as the fitness ball hip raise and curl.
To do: Lie on your back with legs straight, heels on the ball. Raise your hips by pressing your heels into the ball until your legs are straight. Keep your hips raised as you roll the ball in toward you by bending your knees. Continue rolling out and back towards you for 10 to 12 reps.

Running, because the Marine Corps made me do it so much.

I came here to post I despise hamstring exercises. All of them. I have habitually tight hamstrings and any hamstring exercise leaves me sore for two days

Completely disagree about overhead presses.
Most of the machines in that list are useful from a body building standpoint or for people with certain injuries. Of course they aren't functional from a strictly athletic standpoint.

I disagree with OHP being useless as well. I hate it, but I still do them because it will make you look good.
A lot on those on the list are valid though as being worthless from an athletic standpoint. People in it for body building competition have a completely different rule book though.

Nothing is useless. I completely disagree with ohp, leg curl, and leg extension.
They are bodybuilding machines and for rehab. Muscle grows on volume and time under tension. You can do all the squats you want but they aren't going to grow without volume.
They are also good at bringing up weaknesses.

Core exercises. My sad, sad abs.
Posted on 7/9/17 at 11:26 am to GEAUXT
There's really only one muscle group I detest working out to the extent that I won't engage them directly, and that's abs/core. My thought behind why I don't have to include an ab workout is because I do enough lifts which indirectly strengthen that area. I've also accepted that my BF% isn't low enough yet to where a visible 6 pack is possible, but I'm slowly creating more definition starting from the upper abs down which is simply an incidental result of those other lifts. The real concern I have is trimming down the love handles, but for that I'm focusing more on my diet than exercise.

Push up pyramid. 10 to 1 or 1 to 10. Both suck.
Posted on 7/9/17 at 3:45 pm to GEAUXT
Everyone is going to hate me, but for me it's deadlifts...
Mainly because I'm not flexible at all so it's an all around awkward lift. I can't get low, which causes me to lean forward and be on my toes.
