LOVE
The Hammer Strength chest supported T-Row.
HATE
Any and all ab exercises. I just cant bring myself to do any, other than standing cable crunches/situps and those take effort to get me to do them.
LOVE : back squats for LB and dips/pull-ups for UB
HATE : All calves and abs exercises. Overhead presses. Step-ups. All triceps extensions.
Love:
Any rowing motion
Hate:
Lunges
LOVE:
Deadlifts, C&J, Snatch and Pull-ups.
HATE:
Curls and calf raises.
Bicep curls and for me the most painful.Compare this with triceps exercises, going to failure or what have you is ok, but in biceps its much more uncomfortable.
Love: One hand dumbbell snatch.
Hate: back squats.
Love: Deads and Squats
Hate: abs and Lat pull down.
Tip if you hate abs you can do a modified cable twist press, where you punch down as though you are striking an opponent on the ground, which works the abs and you dont even really know it. Plus good for shuolders and arms.
Love
Every lifting motion

I love the big compound lifts…squats, deads and barbell benching.
I hate all isolation exercises, especially ones you do one side at a time. It jsut seems liek you’re wasting time!

LOVE: Any exercises Supersetted or using a stripper/drop style set. {5-part T-Bar Row stripper set 30-40 reps total}

Love: Overhead pressing & Dips
Hate: Pull-ups & Light weight
Overall, I’m sick of bodyweight movements and high volume workouts. Plus, my gains have stalled (building mostly fat). I’m thinking of finally joining a gym, when I get back from vacation.
