Whats the - in your opinion - most unterrated exercise? Lifting wise

Yeah, diddlies and squats are the fucking best. A diddlies only workout hits every goddamn inch of my back with incomparable DOMS. Same thing with squats. Badass, even DOMS all over my legs. Why even isolate?

OHP is the most exactly-rated exercise. People are literally always on point when they talk about OHP

Spider Curls

I rarely see people doing them yet they murder your biceps soo good.
>>
yoga. it seems faggy but it helps prevent me from waking up with immense lower back pain every morning, likely from sleeping on my giant guy every night.

Oh, lifting wise? probably rows or pullups. I grew up climbing trees and shit so my 6'2, 240lbs 31BMI ass can still knock out 3x5 with good form.

I got my Master's degree today and I thought I'd be getting drunk but I've just had a drink and a shot, watching red vs Blue on Netflix for the 100th time.

How do you position your hands with the face pull? I see a lot of variance on the internet.
>>
Dips, if you can do them pain free. Best overall pressing movement imo.

>>42556395
I don't think it particularly matters for the face pull, as long as the rest of the movement is the same. Just do what's comfortable.

>>
Weighted pullups/chinups

External rotations/face pulls/band pull-aparts

Not sure why people are calling OHP 'underrated', every guy I see in the gym does at least some pressing like that, whether it's dumbbells, barbell, pressing machines or smith pressing.
>>

Bent over barbell rows.

>immense lower back pain
because you are fat, you probably just have relatively weak glutes and abs
big belly may exaggerate any anterior pelvic tilt too
>>
Stomach crunches. Did the big lifts for years but my midsection was flat but formless. Started doing crunches and my abs started to grow and pop out. Should have been doing this for years.
>and it helps sexually having a stronger crunch movement
Like a jackhammer now ;)
>>
The most underrated exercise is hands down the High pull.

It seems to me like bodybuilders think that back training is really just lat training. High pulls effectively hit everything left out by all the pull-ups and rows everybody is doing. High pulls are 10 times more effective (and fun) than shrugs and will give you a massive set of traps.
Power snatches and power cleans are great as well, but high pulls are much, much easier to learn, because even if you're doing them wrong, you're still doing them right in terms of muscle building. Again because they're simpler it's also perfectly viable to do them for higher reps. I occasionally go as high as 20 reps per set.
Deadlifts are great, but high pulls are much less systemically stressful. You can go balls out on a set of high pulls and still have energy left for other things. And you can do it relatively frequently.

I like to do them with a medium width grip and pull from low blocks. I don't use "proper form" from a weightlifting standpoint, as I allow the weight to come forward a good deal, because I use a very hip dominant technique - sort of like a kettlebell swing. I prefer to limit the weight in favor of range of motion most of the time, and pull all the way to my neck.

Most people should be able to work up to doing reps with their bodyweight.

>immense back pain

I had this to, until I started to do GHD extensions, ghd kickbacks, and ghd sit-ups, and hamstring curls, also the pussy press (adductor/abductor), for me I feel like all of these are underrated, as they will save your back in the long run if you love lifting heavy like me, they also build sick obliques.

>>42557344
DO NOT DO GHD SIT-UPS
They are horrific for your back. Idk what kind of short term muscular benefits you're getting, but I guarantee you it is not worth the long term danger youre giving yourself. Moving the spine rapidly from hyper extension to contraction is already bad. That the feet and hips are locked in place makes it even worse. Don't do that shit, anon. Be more careful with your back. Ghd extensions should be fine as long as the movement is done in a controlled way.

>>
>>42557305

>>
>>42557507
ohp?
>>
Barbell Hip Thrust, OHP, Face pulls or Rows, RDLs, reverse grip bench, barbell pistol squats
>>
>>42556249
Seconded. Why do so few people do these?
>>
>>42556167
You're an idiot if you think conscious awareness and focus on a particular muscle group at lighter loads isn't going to increase the contraction of the muscle group in question.

Studies have shown that at loads less than <80% of 1RM that consciously thinking about the muscles being used will increase strength of contraction. That's why bodybuilding type exercises can be hugely beneficial to powerlifters, weightlifters, strongmen and athletes in general as a way to fix imbalances and correct faulty movement mechanics.

Also as far as underrated exercises anything that promotes scapula control or helps glute activation are a definite. If /fit/ fixed these two issues half of everyones problems on this board would disappear.
>>
>>42557305
If you're doing highpulls that way then you're limiting the benefit you get from them.

You need to lessen the hip dominance and try to keep it closer to the body and focus on getting shoulder elevation by thinking 'elbows up' (which will help it stay close to your body).
>>
>>42557507

>>
>>42556167
A bodybuilder told me that the mind muscle connection makes the lift harder
>>
>>42557950
He's limiting the transfer to weightlifting, but not necessarily the benefit he's looking for.
>>
>>42557305
High pulls are shit and will fuck up your shoulders. This is literally why the Yates Row exists, to get a similar motion and (better) muscle activation I'm the upper back without destroying your shoulders.

But go ahead and keep on smashing your humerus into your subacromial bursa for those sick gains dude. I'll stick to using my actual shoulders for upper back training and not arm overextension.
>>
>>42558036
My shoulders are drama queens and don't tolerate many things, but high pulls have never bothered them at all. I do externally rotate my shoulders at the top though i.e. I pull back a little rather than pointing my elbows straight up.

Off, but pls respond
Where did you feel the pain/how was it? I'm trying to deal with shoulder pain myself rn, avoiding any kinda pressing exercises for a bit, but it doesn't feel like it's getting better. It doesn't actually hurt when doing regular stuff, but I get a very sharp pain for a few seconds right after I finish lifting sg.

Anyways, HS curls and HBH are pretty underrated imo
