Stop wasting time on overrated and ineffective exercises. Learn about four exercises you should avoid and what you should do instead to maximize your gains!
here are four overrated exercises and what you should do instead first front raises your front delts already get hammered from any horizontal or vertical pressing in your program you almost never need any extra isolation work for the anterior delts instead of raising the dumbbells Straight Ahead raise them out in a y so that you get more of the side delt fibers involved or you can replace any front raises in your program with side raises instead second waiter curls these will hit the biceps since you are flexing your elbow but hyperextending your wrists will limit your ability to overload the movement I just do standard Easy Bar curls or straight bar curls instead and if you’re worried about your forearms taking over just take a slightly looser grit third standing dumbbell external rotations a lot of people do these to warm up their shoulders but gravity points down meaning that the dumbbells aren’t actually applying any resistance to your external rotators you might as well do them without the dumbbells however if you use a cable or a band all of a sudden you’ve got tension pointing in the right direction forth above the knee rack poles instead i’ do shrugs to build your upper trap or deadlifts from the floor to build strength
