Doing lunges and step-ups this week and last, I realised how much I hate that kind of one-legged work. I always seem to run out of breath and lose my balance before I fatigue my muscles thoroughly, and the leg I work second always gets less of a workout! Seriously, when picking exercises myself, there are NEVER any lunges.
So, what are some exercises you guys hate?
Widowmakers and lunges.
Dumbbell pullovers.

Damn dude I luv pullovers. I hate ab machine work.
i dont do any exercises i hate
so i guess ill tell you the exercises youll never see me do
lunges
step ups
anything on a bosu
anything on a swiss
anything for obliques, like side bends
donkey calf raise
pullovers
pullups/chinups
cable flys
front squats
DB rows
i think thats good for now.
I have tons, lol.
Lateral Raises
Lunges
Bicep-pose-crossover-cable-curl-thing - seriously, what the hell is this called?
They are the only ones that come to mind right now.
bulgarian split squats…! argh!
word i hate lateral raises too
how gay is it to use 30s for lateral raises when i could use 60s for front raises.
i generally like the exercises no one else does
i like to squat, dead and bench
squatting is only not fun when you have to do more than 8 reps. those 20 reps are brutal. triples are fun cause theyre like rep numbers 5,12 and 18 of a 20 rep; only the last one is really bad.
i hate lunges but nothing gets my ass more sore
any ab exercise. calf raises.

i hear what your saying. I suck at unilateral leg work, and so many coach’s here tell you to do the things you hate doing cause you’ll get the best gains with those. however i am just not sure. Like you said i often will lose my balance with heavier weight, and if i use a lighter weight i really don’t feel much muscle fatigue at all compared to when i squat. In the end though my goals all boil down to being big and i think getting strong is just going to come with the territory.
As for exercises i don’t like, ill have to say dumbbell bench presses. its not that i don’t want to do them, its that whenever i see a bodybuilder on you tube doing them he manages to keeps the dumbbells moving in a smooth flawless motion. when i do them with heavy weight i struggle to keep them from wobbling around on the way up and down. Not sure how to correct this to be honest.
Another thing i dislike is working your triceps with free weights. for some crazy reason i never really feel the pump and muscle fatigue i get when i work my biceps with free weights. which makes me feel like i am not working them as hard. i been thinking about switching over to cable exercises for the triceps but there are a ton of different variations not sure which to pick. Any suggestions on ones you guys tried and liked?
1-arm dumbell row.
it’s harder to not fall over than to do them

I dislike dumbell rows as well.
However I will say that a few of the excersises I absolutely hate are:
Any kind of ab work (gotta do it though).
Lunges
Good mornings

I like cable pullovers for the lats, but the dumbbell variations don’t convince me.
Nice avatar.
I get frustrated/bored doing stuff like calf raises that aren’t “major” lifts. Boredom and impatience are my worst psychological enemies, I don’t think I really hate doing anything.

Those are atrocious to do. I also hate any ab or grip work, it’s the most boring thing you can do.
I hate shoulder day. Everything about it. Except trap training. It feels good actually move some weight.
Lunges (surprise!)
effing front squats (gotta be done, but I suck hard at em)

dips, pullups, lunges, floor press, box squats past 3 reps. barbell rows.
Lunges & Flys
