I am NEVER doing this exercise again...

[b fold the truth]

Ever say that about an exercise before?

I remember saying that about the flat bench press once...and I didn't do it for a long time. I remember being stuck at 225 x 3 for months. Granted...I was not training properly to overcome that battle...but I was stuck for a long time. I picked a new exercise.

I did wide grip, elbows out dips for probably 6 months or more. I would do dips then incline presses. I remember really growing for a while and I would have killer dip sessions mainly because with every rep I was cussing the bench press.

The first time I went back to the flat bench press, I did 225 x 8 I think. Not completely for sure...but I am pretty sure I did get 8 reps with it.

Ever give up an exercise before????

i gave up deadlifts when i first started because it would tear my hands up

 

[ZZuluZ]

Yup.

I've given up on:

Leg extensions, leg curls, concentration curls, flyes, etc...

And I'm never trying them again.

When stalling, changes exercises is a good idea anyway..

Same, flat barbell

Still don't like them very much, but I do them sometimes for variety

decline dbell presses. after i partially dislocated my shoulder for "squeezing" too tight at the top. but i can dip all day, go figure.

 

[huntmaster]

Yep, Dips. lol

Decline DB presses. Seems to really Fubar my shoulder. I injured my shoulder in High school(10 years ago) and no matter what I do I just can't get it right.

I am trying to isolate the muscle right now to strengthen it, but I can't decline bench BB or DB high weight because of it. I do the BB, just not high weight.
