5 Exercises That Are A Waste of Time (stop doing these!)

Most lifters in the gym are looking to get jacked around a busy schedule. Other obligations like school, work, family, relationships and other hobbies take up most of our time. So with the bit of time we do have to train, we want to choose the best movements to maximize our gains. This means using the best exercises and performing them with solid form to squeeze the juice out of every rep.

Part of performing the best exercises is not wasting time doing exercises that aren't effective.

Now, when we say "waste of time," we don't mean these exercises have zero benefit. On the contrary, all physical activity, including resistance training of any form, can be beneficial. What we mean in this context is exercises that aren't as good as the alternatives.

This video will discuss five movements that are a waste of time, why they are a waste of time, and better alternatives you should program into your workouts.

TUT with slow controlled dumbbell kickbacks will get your triceps pumped AF. With proper technique almost any exercise will get you gains.

Front raises were super helpful when I've had times where I couldn't do pressing movements due to injuries but was still able to do front raises. There is value in them depending on the situation.

Front raises done properly with light weight is the perfect way to warm up your shoulders. It's also one the safest shoulder exercises. It has always been a staple for me. The 2 exercises that damage shoulders overtime are dumbbell shoulder laterals and upright rows.

Front raise is definitely not a waist of time they are great for defining front delt, but I do agree with alot of your info

"BRO YOU HAVE KILLER FRONT DELTS" SAYS NOBODY!! 😂😂😂😂😂 IM DEAD YO

Smith machines squats are perfect replacement for a hack squat or if you have a bad lower back.

I love the smith machine for squats. Helps me concentrate on hamstrings instead of quads. Squats work the posterior chain also

[davidkoko]

I totally disagree! Front raises are AWESOME!

[RealMadridfanTV]

Triceps kickback is very effective if you know how to do it!!

[sheraz]

I got huge benefit from front delt raise.. but I do them with light weight without moving my body.. secondly cable and db kickback really added mass in my tricep when my tricep stopped growing

[Andy-szdt]

I disagree with the front raises, front raises are cool.

[abhishektthakurr]

me after doing a set of front raises: Hell yeah, the pump and pain is killing...
.
front raises on incline bench is dope🔥

[dicessdontbenosey]

The dumbell rotator cuff exercises healed my rotator cuff to do all my upper body strength exercises properly and without painful injuries in the rotator cuff

[dawnsabin-simpson]

Tricep kick-backs are one of my favourite tricep finishing exercises..I keep them fairly light and get full contraction on the positive rep and the negative rep remains strong and controlled. I have no probs with these.

[malikshabazz]

You neglected to mention doing squats with a machine is safer and you don't need a spotter.
As many people who like to train want to go to failure and don't want to rely on anyone for safety.

[frenchiefrog]

Tricep kick back, front raises are great what the problem with these

[akumau]

Fuck that. I get massive pumps from tricep kickbacks. They are very useful.
