Whats your favorate exercise in the gym?

[Raider926]

For whatever body part..

I would have to say my would be deadlifts

[DookieLuv!]

I don't know what it's called but it's the one when your seated and you extend your arms outward and grab the vertical bar thingies and bring your arms together like your giving a bear hug. Ya, that one......it gives me the most burn. Unfortunately the NorthWest YMCA does'nt feel the need to have that machine. :mad: But I used to use it at the LifeStyles on Hillsbourough.

They are called, Pec Dec or Pectorial Flies, awesome exercise.

[Sabotage]

its a tie between using the cable crossover thingy for curls, and using it for triceps. i guess i just really like cable crossover! :dunno:

[moldyhands]

lately the reverse tricep pull down on the cable machine. i don't know why, but i'm able to put almost all the weight on the machine so it makes me feel like he-man. i think there's 200 "pounds" (who knows what that equates to in actual weight), and i work out with 180 or so.

Yea, i love that exercise too. Dunno if it's my "favorite" per se, it's my favorite to DO, but i think i like squats more than anything else, i feel like i'm working so much when i do them.

[Capital G]

I really like skull crushers, I'm a daredevil and love having the weights right over my head.

[Country Boy]

Anything chest and arm related. I love working those two parts and lift like an animal doing them.

Sucks I cant do squats because of my back :( but then again, I dont want huge legs.

I don't remember the routine you posted, but are you completely ignoring legs?

[Country Boy]

nah, legs on Thursdays. For thighs I do the leg press with ~400 lbs and the leg extensions. Hamstrings I use the seated leg curl machine and then the standing leg curl. Calfs I do the seated calf rasies and on the leg press I do the toes in and toes out press.

2 sets of each excersize.

[bobster]

If you could only do one exercise. Squats are the single best overall exercise. Most people avoid them cause they are the most taxing of all. If youre not on the verge of puking, youre not pushing yourself or getting the best results.

[Strongest Man In The World]

I concur^^^

[MagnumNHRA]

weighted dips are my favorite

[Katrina]

I love working out shoulders...mostly the chin row...nice shoulders look good on girls...and I like the ab workout where you lay on your back, and someone else is there to let you grab their ankles and they push your legs down for the lower abs...don't know what it's called

[m3zy6]

Id have to say dumbbell bench, I love killing my chest
