i was told to stay away from shoulder presses and uprights. they do more damage than good. any other lifts i should avoid...thanks
ummm, just fyi, squating is bad for the knees. . . . . . . . doesnt mean that i dont do them thoIf a lift does more damage than good, it's because you're doing it wrong. Military press is a fantastic movement and so are upright rows.
Sounds like someone who believes "squatting is bad for the knees" has been getting to ya!
Good post, bro.Nope, sorry, squats aren't bad for the knees unless done improperly. Studies on olympic lifters and powerlifters haven't shown any increase in knee damage among those populations, even though they may load up the bar with several time their body weight on a regular basis.
It's actually movements like smith-machine squats or leg extensions that may be associated with knee damage, as they impede natural course of motion for the leg and force a specific, unnatural pattern.
F' that. love them for separation. Once again if done right and focused on proper muscle, all exercises are safe and effective.Kickbacks.
Useless, and goofy. 'Nuff said.
dips can be bad but like above. The right way they are fine. Angle your body right and dont go to deep.well i guess then ill keep doing my shoulder presses then. i would hate to stop since i make such great gains..i was told dips also were bad cause of the stress put on the shoulders and upper chest..im 29yrs and have been lifting since i was 14 and havent ever had any probs with any exercise..
I guess to each his own, because I've gotten some good results from dumbbell kickbacks. They're great if you're really strict, making the triceps do all of the work. However, I still say close-grip bench and extensions are the best triceps specific exercises.Kickbacks.
