Your top 3 most bastardized exercises
That you see in the gym.
Mine are…
Calf raises/presses:
Literally no one does these right. No pause at the top, no paused stretch at the bottom to kill the stretch reflex of the Achilles’ tendon…..just throw on plates and do lil bouncy reps or worse, some kind of half ass power squat. Calf presses same deal, just bouncy reps.
Leg press:
Need I say why? We all seen them. The guys who throw on plate after plate to bend their knees a few inches. Who was range of motion?
Lateral raises:
At best, most guys turn this into a half ass high pull. At worst, people are flopping their arms up and down impinging their poor supraspinatus into the acromion. Either way, usually with entirely too much weight. 0 tension whatsoever on the target muscle because the traps and other muscles take over.
There are more of course but these are the 3 I see the most of. What about you guys?
