What is the most overrated exercise here?

[absolute hardgainer]

Well, what is it?

In my opinion the squat is overrated...

Now, I can see the flames coming already, so let me qualify my statement.

I think the squat is a fantastic exercise. It's just not THE ultimate exercise that it is often made out to be, expecially on this board.

Just because you squat doesn't mean you'll look like Tom Platz in three months. And if some past posts here would be believed then all you ever needed to do is squat, and you'd explode into a mountain of muscles.

Fat chance.

Ok, that's my rant on overrated exercises.

Incline bench press, by far.

I am sick of hearing everyone think it is the be all end all test of strength and fitness

"so uh...How much ya bench?"

 

[Roadblock]

I agree with =w=, BB bench must be it..

Maybe the squat is a bit overrated, however there are exercises that are much more overated and don't come close to the squat. There aren't a lot of exercises than can succesfully replace the squat. Combination of overall lower body and core strength, coordination, and some guts.

Either barbell curls or barbell benches.

Once again I totally agree with you! It seems as though our ideas on declines are where it's at!
