Thing you hate most about bodybuilding/training

[jnevin]

I always eat pretty much whatever I want, so I hate when I slack at the gym and put fat on. I hate cardio. I also hate the fact that my legs get too big for my pants. Legs and shoulders are my favorite parts to train and now I have to either do maybe 40 hours of cardio EOD (blah), or just do less legs.

Oh, I hate that no matter what I do, no matter how much I can pull, my forearms don't grow.

machines that have the wrong range of motion for a short gal.

that i don't have enough strength to do the things I would like to do (i can't do a single pull)

men who think they are entitled to use the benches ahead of me because I'm a woman.

Machines have the wrong range of motion for everyone. Don't fear the free weights, they will give you the strength to do what you want to do.

Ah, but do they have a tv for a solid 4 hour cardio session?

I mainly use free weights, but I do use the leg curl machine (WHICH I HATE) and the pec deck (WHICH I HATE MORE)!

Substitute deadlifts or sled for the leg curl.

Substitute dumbell flyes and/or bench press and/or dumbell press for the pec dec.

Problem solved

Added bonus, you'll build core strength and discover abs you never knew you had!

Hey, I will do that!! I've never been one to do deadlifts (lol...you remember this I'm sure). I do straight leg deadlifts. I'll incorporate the regular ones and throw out leg curls. I can't leg curl any weight hardly because the range of motion is so off for me.

 

[enigma4dub]

any machine, hammer strength, smith, or cables, triceps kick backs and pretty much all other lame forms of training.

I have one of those leg curl attachments on my bench and I'm in exactly the same boat and I'm 5'9" so it's not just you.

You get way better legs from regular deadlifts, just start out light and get the form down and remember to stretch your quads and hams like mad before you do it. You don't need to go to monster weight to get the benefits.
