I'm sure lots of people can't do flies, myself included
Feels fucking horrible like my arms are being ripped apart, hurts for days afterwards

>>41164461
I thought I've snapped something up and can't do them because of that, but for as long as I can recall even when I started gym they hurt too much

protip: you're supposed to lock the fucking elbows at about 120-140 degrees

>>41164461
Preacher curls. The tendons on my forearms just scream in agony.

dips, my sternum is in excruciating pain if I go to deep and lean forward.

Could Someone give me some good tips for db flys? I recently changed my routine and I'm having trouble doing them

>>41165010
That's the pain of your sternum literally ripping apart.

>>41165014
slowly, dont ego lift

Start with low weight

>>41164556
>Wanting a skinny jaw.

>lat raises
>Fly's
>Bb rows
>Bb bench
>Skull crusher's
>Pull overs

Wide grip Lat pull downs but not pull ups. Pretty sure these fucked up my shoulder a bit.

>>41164484

This is my favorite move. Does it hurt your wrists or just above the elbow?

>>41164509
I know the pain brah, but it's IMO the best exercise for shoulders.

>>41165081
This

>>41165479
Hurts my elbow. But I can't blaim the exercise alone, because I get elbow pain from all tricep isolation exercise.

>>41164461
Squats
Deadlifts
Bench press
Lat pulldowns
Overhead press

Who needs those lifts anyways

>>41164488
That's probably a sure sign that you need to do it bozo.

Is it normal for the top of your abs to hurt like a motherfucker during pull ups?

>>41165528
probably have weak biceps. the le curlbro meme has resulted in many people having much more dominant triceps than biceps, which will cause elbow pain

>>41164461
Dips
Going to do push-ups till I can do them

>>41165353
>that unnecessary use of apostrophes not only unnecessarily, but inconsistently.

Like, whats the difference between [flys, skull crushers] and everything else without an apostrophe? This probably shouldn't make me as angry as it does, but it fucking does and I really hope ur mom takes ur computer away.

>>41165014

I used to do "No less than 12, no more than 20" and move up buy 5 pounds when I was in high school. Got up to 55 pound dumbbells. I neglected fitness for 9 years after that and now I stick to 3x8. Lifting 65 now.

Just set a goal with lightweights and when you're able to reach that goal, start trying with five more pounds. Trade off between your new weight and your achieved weight until you're able to complete your exercise with your new weights. Then do that for two to three weeks and try more weight when you feel you're ready.

Deadlifts.
I just have a shit grip and it's always my hand strength failing me.

Barbell curls. I get the equivalent of shin splints in my forearms. I do 3x21s though, so I'm probably lifting like a retard.

I used to get intense shoulder pain on the incline bench, but I just dropped the weight to 95lbs for a while and it eventually went away. Now I'm hitting 225.

>>41166264
They don't carry over as you expect.

>>41166715
Take a wider grip on the curls. Alternatively use the EZ curl bar, although it's not as good.

>>41166264

I can hit 5 with relative ease but it fucking hurts my palms because I'm a fat fucking 245lb slob.

I do them at a park across the street that has a little (((exercise area))) that kids typically use as a playground after they get out of school. I'm like, little niggas, there's a real playground on the other end of the park.

>>41166692
same. also every time i do them i always feel some weird pain in my back and i dont wanna fuck up my back in the long run for something that women dont even care about

If width is an issue, might be the EZ curl bar that's doing it. I'm about to head out to the gym in like 10 minutes. Will post results.

>close-grip bench
Hurts tendon on along my thumb for some reason.
I've tried moving hands farther apart but I end up just doing bench press.

>>41166746
Nah, you're just that weirdo that spends his time around children a little too much. You'll gonna get yourself arested one day.

>>41166790
rotate your grip a little. watch this video starting at 2:30

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnBmiBqp-AI

it helps a bunch on close grip bp

>>41166761
Width is an issue on the barbell, shouldn't matter on the EZ curl bar.

>>41166245
probably not
>>41165528
you probably have ulnar nerve subluxation
>>41164484
only tricep extension variant that doesn't tear my elbows to shreds

>>41166356
Phone autocorrect man cool it.

Also fuck you bro.

>>41164461
Front squats.
It crushes my Adam's apple, wreck my shoulders and kill my wrists

standing knee raises

>>41165654
I get this sensation too. I freak out thinking im about to rip myself a hernia because of it. I'm just now able to do a single pullup though so maybe i'm just hella weak still

>>41165042
No, it's the stretch of your inner pecs

>>41164461
Lunges. I feel like a retard when I try to do them

I hate OHP. I'm struggling to do 80 fooking pounds and it hurts my damn left side of my neck.

>>41165014
Do barbell flies

>>41167172
Do sitting OHP

deltoid flies fuck up my shoulder

Dips. I can extreme sternum pain after doing a few. Thought it was my form at first, so asked for a PT to look at me do it and he said it was fine. Currently think it's costochondritis, but I don't get this pain from any other exercise so I don't really care about treating it.

>>41167099
Same here. I have got quite a big Adam's apple though.

feels fucking tragic

Testicle deadlifts

>>41164474
Underrated

>>41164484
This is the only variant of triceps extension that does hurt my elbows, to be honest.

bench press after doing heavy shoulder work, i can hear something in my shoulders popping

>>41169540
Meanwhile this tricep exercise with dumbells murders my elbows.

Get that "locked" feeling like they're going to snap the fuck in half

>>41164477

>>41165506

dumbell flys are for chest . Why would it be for shoulders ?

calisthenics

Bulgarian split squats.
Can't keep Balance to save my life and the quads on the raises leg feel like their burning

Overhead press
Hurt my shoulder fixing car.
Can do bench press just fine, but bringing down the bar on overhead hurts like hell. Doesn't hurt on anything else either.

I have trouble doing pull-ups because it feels like my wrists are being pulled from my forearms. After I do a set I can't rotate my wrists without feeling pain

>>41164484
This. My tendon in my right elbow starts hurting. I can't do close grip bench presses for the same reason.

>>41164488
Ugh, cardio is so fucking boring. I don't have the patience to run a 100m let alone a 5km. Nobody has ever been impressed by a cardiobeast walking into the room

>>41166715
Fuck I had this problem before. Your extensors are just under trained relative to the other side of your forearms. Try to reduce the amount of gripping you do for a week or so and add in reverse wrist curls. Good luck my dude

Low bar squats, feels like I get some strange nerve pain on the left side of the back and shoulder when i have any significant weight on it.

dumbbell flys feel good desu? I love the stretching I get in my pecs...

did these, cable crossover variations and dumbbell presses today for my chest

>>41169522
Specificity of training. You need to focus on pullups in order to see results with pullups. Start at negatives, jump on the bar and hold as long as you can before going down as slow as possible. Builds the eccentric strength, eventually you will progress.

my left foot cant bend that way. when i try it goes out tot he side and the pain is unbearable after 4 reps even at bodyweight :(

Inclined db bench. Whit flat I'm perfectly ok, but just a slight incline makes my shoulder hurt like hell.

Bb is ok too. Strange.

>>41164474
I did one rep of this yesterday. My form was awful but it worked out in the end.

If LISS cardio is boring, just do HIIT

set it up like lifting except instead of "one rep is one squat" it becomes "one rep is 20/30/40/etc seconds of sprinting"

Fucking Front Squats. The most masochistic lift. Stopped doing them because my wrists werent flexible enough and i sprained one of them.

>>41164509

Bend your elbows until there is no painful strain and then do them. You will gradually get used to them.

>>41173653
Instead of bending your arms backwards, cross them and hold, most of the weight should be on your chest / shoulders anyway

>>41164484

Fucking this. It makes leg day a complete nightmare but my gymbro insists we do them.

>>41173991

the immobile bodybuilder form.

Lateral raises fuck with my left shoulder so I don't do them

Close grip bench press
My wrists always hurt like shit, no matter what I do

>>41173653
>>41173991
I think that instead you should work on increasing your wrist flexibility

>>41164461
getting out of bed in the morning

>>41165506
joint movements that work shoulders: Shoulder abductions, shoulder flexion, horizontal shoulder aBduction.

Chest flys are horizontal shoulder aDductions, works chest not shoulders.

>>41164484
love this one :D it's a finisher i burn out on it.

>>41171706
Probably because of your form. You shouldn't feel anything in your spine

>>41166245
No, it's opposite. I got a bicep peak without doing curls, meanwhile my triceps is lagging.

>>41164461
I feel like a lot of the problems in this thread can be solved just by lowering the weight until you get good form

>>41166356

>>41167026
You've just diagnosed me with snap city triceps, thanks.

>>41167143
>>inner pecs

>>41167026
ye I don't know why people meme on this, the extra stretch is ace and it is the only one that my elbows feel comfortable in. Standard skull crushers kill my elbows.

Any kind of barbell curls. Even with an ez bar it hurts my wrists.

>>41171706
clench ur butt and tuck ur pelvis

hamstring curls. I have no idea why but i feel like it puts pressure on my bladder and makes me have to pee with every rep

>>41165465
I know the pain bro, can 15x3 pullups at 85kg but try a 70kg lat pulldown and it feels like my shoulders are gonma pop

guys if I'm trying to do a lift or certain exercise and my leg starts tapping like a thousand taps a second does that mean its too much weight

does anyone know what I'm talking about?

like if I'm doing lat pulldowns, on the third or second to last or last rep my leg just starts shaking like crazy even though its under the pad

for me, it's benchpress

I have a bum shoulder and its the only exercise along with dips that I just can't afford to do without making it even worse

>>41174301
are you a drummer?

>>41174348

haha what the fuck? how did you know? yes I used to drum in middle and high-school

>>41174301
Sounds like cns shock, just means you're pushing yourself

>>41165528
u need to warm up ur elbow beforehand

>>41173653
I agree the problem was either wrist pain or literally choking yourself with bar no between with that fucking move.

>>41174422
Warm up doesn't help when warm up weight give me pain.

Squats and lunges kill my knees. Part of it is being fatass and part due to surgeries. Still try squats, but only get couple done before I start hurting.

>>41164484

Don't use momentum like this, you'll seriously fuck up your shoulder
Done right -besides the burn, this shit works

>>41166264
Same, I can do plenty of dips but they they make my shoulders hurt for days, I'm probably going too low but I've substituted them with Push-ups and Low Cable X-Overs

>>41174146
Yeah, great end to a push day

>>41174072
Bulgarian Split Squats? Yeah they're a motherfucker but stick a 10db dumbbell in each hand and they're legit.

>>41166761
is this mike pence?

>>41166264
Engage your scapula and don't go too low. Lots of people try and be form freaks and end up putting unnecessary strain on the front delt

>>41175816
ZAPP

>>41164484
I've tried so many times to get that move right but i always end up NOT isolating my triceps,don't know how i do it.

>>41165010
Stop doing dips immediately you will fracture your sternum.

>>41165353
>lat raises
lean forward slightly, took all the pain away for me

>The rest

I have a feeling your shoulders are extremeley unhealthy and fixing your form on presses and rows + some mobility work will most likely help that.

>>41165534
>all the important lifts
Bad news brah never making it

>>41176705
If is the muscle, it's means that you don't have strong forearms, if is the bone, you're fuck up.

>>41165534
Your fucked m8 that almost every major movement pattern

>>41167901
Stop doing them immediately. Many people are unable to do dips due their build and it will likely result in a cracked sternum if you continue to do them.

>>41164461
Any type of barbell curl hurts my wrists but still do them nagga

>>41169563
Check form and if the problem continues switch to close grip/decline after shoulder work

Any two handed curl kills my wrist. I generally have to do dumbell preacher curls to hit them at all.

Weirdly enough two handed back work is fine on my wrist, even underhanded

Also some tricep work hurts my elbows, generally fixed by supersetting with hammer curls and going super light for many reps.

>>41178658

literally limp wrists

>>41171734

>>41167172
Do you warm up your rotator cuff with elastics or a broom handle?

OHP and Dips. i'm benching all day errday

>>41170922
Unless you're doing a Bradford press and or using too much weight and terrible form, how does it mess up your spine?

>>41178750
i know those feels. you probably have long forearms, too. i only curl with hammer or even reverse grip, triceps only lots of light sets with focus on time under tension and dat dere mind muscle connection

>>41174257
This

>>41178905
not that guy but my OHP sucks, too. i only use a broom handle for shoulder extensions. what else should we be doing?

>>41178658
Yea I switched to an ezcurl bar f>>41178666
or this reason.

>>41174355
muscle memory
just stop your leg from shaking and continue the lift

>>41174257
i just tried that motion without weight, but it feels like i would need a whole lot more shoulder mobility to still be able to press over my center of gravity.

what do you recommend for neck posture? i used to pull my traps a lot back when i was still OHPing

Can't do more than 10 push-ups without feeling breathless.. am I unfit ?

I'm perfectly capable of long rallies in badminton thou.

>>41166245
You have it backwards

>>41179204

>>41179016

requires mainly thoracic mobility, look it up.

>>41173653
>LOL flexlet detected

Your writst flexibility must be shit. You should be able to grip the barbell with your tricep and forearm at about 45 to 30 degrees

>dips

Used to be curls until I got an EZ bar
Now it's dips

>>41178568
i have a pain in the bone, what is it?

>>41164461
Flat Bench. Something is wrong with my right rotator cup so it fatigues the hell out of the front of my delt and I can't every progress with weight because I fail so much quicker on it than I normally would.

I have to either use dumbbells or use have to use the smith machine. You'd think dumbbells would make it worse, but since I'm can be at a slightly different angle it doesn't bother it whatsoever.

Surprised no one has mentioned upright rows yet.
Did them for a year with a rope attached to a pulley machine, no pain compared to any other variations, but my traps blew up way too fast

Any kind of under hand rowing movement on any plane makes my wrists scream

>>41165010

so i dont do them

>>41164484
These have always been a problem for me. It just hurts my elbow too much like I'm going to fucking pop it out.

Deadlifts are also too painful for me now that I've taken a trip to snapcity.
