Choosing the right exercises when your programming can be a difficult task. When it comes to getting your clients better, there is definitely a differentiation between exercises that can get you stronger over time and exercise that just simply look cool. Actually, let me rephrase that, some exercises don’t even make you look cool – they just flat-out suck.

For this episode JR and I decided to talk about the 6 exercises that suck for long-term strength programming. I’m positive some of these exercises were in your routine even within the last week (because it was for me).
The goal of these conversations is never to shame people or just talked a bunch of s*** but to reframe how to use exercise selection and whether it makes sense or not moving forward. A lot of our clients are coming to us for genuine help and if we aren’t making genuine decisions, we are missing the mark.
