Stop Doing These 11 Exercises (DO THESE INSTEAD!)

Nobody wants to waste their time doing exercises that don’t work. That said, even good exercises can become bad ones when they are performed incorrectly. However, certain movements deserve the title of the "worst exercise ever" simply because of their low reward, high risk nature. In this video, I’ll show you 11 of the worst exercises for building muscle and what you can do instead.

As a physical therapist and strength coach for professional athletes and celebrities, I have to know where the risks outweigh the rewards. If you know the science of training there are always other ways to get the desired result without jeopardizing the health and safety of your athletes.
So, without further adieu here a few of the 11 worst exercises we cover in the video:
1. Chest flies - I've covered before but I can’t say it enough. People swear they feel an amazing stretch on their pecs by doing this exercise. They also claim that the adduction at the end of the movement gives them an incredible contraction. Both of these are actually exaggerated as the resistance of adduction is absent at the top of the movement and the stretch being felt is actually more on a secondary muscle than it is on the pec. Floor flys and standing crossovers are much better options for reasons explained in the video.
2. The Behind the neck press - The problem with this exercise is that it is just plain bad for your shoulders. It places the glenohumeral joint in an awkward position for pressing, which can lead to impingement. Pressing from the natural scapular plane is much more natural and will allow you to press more weight overhead in the long run, leading to bigger shoulders.
3. Upright Rows - I’ve gone on extensively about the problem with this exercise. It is possible one of the worst things you can do due to the position of the elbows and hands at the end of the movement. The exercise puts your shoulders into a provocative position for testing impingement. Instead, you want your elbows below your hands (as in the high pull) to still get the benefits of the abduction of the shoulders without the internal rotation.
4. Concentration Curls - You may be wondering how this ended up in the graveyard. Sure the concentration curl isn’t dangerous but it surely isn’t the best tool for job. To understand why, we need to look closer at the movement. Pushing the elbow into the thigh while curling the weight up is only using leverage to get the weight to the top rather than pure muscular force. Normally, leverage is not a bad thing but when you are doing it in close proximity to the muscles that you are trying to work (and with a muscle group that is often overactive during the curl in the first place) you are taking away from the effectiveness of the movement. For a more effective biceps builder you should look to the standard barbell curl. People ask “how did you get such big biceps?’ The answer is right here, by doing effective exercises like the barbell curl and by avoiding things like concentration curls!
5. Leg Extensions - This is a no brainer for me. This open chain leg exercise lacks any true function when compared to the numerous closed chain options you can be doing instead. Throw in the compressive stresses on the kneecap and lack of hamstring co-contraction, and you've got a recipe for disaster.
These are just a few of the worst exercises covered in this video. Make sure to watch the whole thing to see how things like the popular rack pull above the knee, cuban press and even the tried and true dumbbell side bend earned the title of something you should avoid. As always, I’m putting the science back in strength to show you not just why these should get nixed from your workout but which exercises should take their place.
As you can see there’s a lot of though that goes into tossing an exercise in the iron graveyard. When your health and safety matters the stakes are high especially for people training in and over their 30’s and into their 40’s. If you want to make gains and stay safe be sure and keep the 11 exercises covered in this video where they belong… in the iron graveyard!

[@shirleyj8968]

Umm so the quad extension machine could be used as a hamstring/ knee flexor strengthening machine as well at varying degrees without causing too much stress on the knee joint - but I’m sure you all knew that, unless tomorrow research and literature changes that. Actually in PT we refrain from using the quad extension machine- research shows it causes a significant amount of damage at the knee and premature onset of arthritis, but yes can be used to diagnose knee issues since it looked hooked up. Those ‘cheap’ bands actually strengthen muscles more than regular weights through ‘eccentric contraction’ , but I’m sure you guys knew that as well. Maybe be slow to judge and educate yourselves first.

[@Shabanezloth]

When people say "I'm doing behind the neck press for my rear delts"... :'(

[@oxrjbizzle1984y]

haha, bent over flys with supinated grip are the king of the rear delt exercises (free weights anyways) for my money, jeff showed some really cool ones too like those hip huggers and rear delt rows....behind the neck press is just an idiotic and dangerous exercise that is also not that effective, same thing with upright rows. i have very healthy shoulders and just doing a few sets of upright rows makes my shoulders very uncomfortable, i know some people swear by them but theyre horrible and there are better trap and shoulder exercises anyway....

[@Moose92411]

Wait what...? Sure bro. And I'm doing jeff extensions for my calves.

[@nathanhadlock5634]

So many fitness “influencers” still do most of these😂🤦🏻‍♂️

Nathan Hadlock ikr it makes me want to puke whenever I hear the word “influencer”

[@MovieViking]

Yes, Instagram is flooded by idiots inspiring other idiots while sharing promo codes...

[@Sasha-lg1ln]

@@MovieViking exactly. Influencers are a bunch of unqualified/uncertified fitness gurus who pray on people who are new or have little to no knowledge about fitness 😵

[@AndrewTheTransformer]

yes! Specially the upright row haha

[@IDiggPattyMayonnaise]

Most of them arent specifically bad for anyone if you know what you're doing. It's just that the general population doesn't know what the hell they're doing. Everyones body mechanics are different. Though never do those stupid CrossFit fake pullups under any condition.

[@ryanmoran8366]

Haven't watched you guys in a while. Wow over 12 Million subs!! Congrats! You're still the best!!

[@marcvautour6785]

Jeff, Great video. I'm glad I survived many of these exercises in the day. Could you do a video on some of the traditional chest expander exercises? The grip variations of the Front Chest Pull vs the FCP Anyhow; straight arms or slightly bent in the FCP would be nice to know about. Also, the Behind the Neck vs. Front Overhead Downward Pulls, palms facing inward or outward. Lastly, the Back Press, in which you can use the most resistance of all. These exercises are commonly done with rubber bands nowadays, usually with a thumbs-in grip. It would be great to see what you have to say about them.

Cross fit gyms and people who do that just don’t know how to train right

They also have kettlebell "american swing". This exercise is considered as dangerous for shoulders and lower back.

Hey Guys. I'm back into my get in shape journey after two years plus. This is super helpful. Yes I was doing some of those exercises. This makes my workout so much more effective. Thanks much. Health, strength, and looking good. Peace.

Great info. I definitely liked the humorous bits with Jesse. He truly is your Robin.

[@wciesiel]

Jeff, I am watching your channel for more than a year and still cannot believe what a ton of highest quality material you're sharing for free with people all over the world... This is unbelievable - thank you.

[@nicolask8999]

Jeff watching his own videos: „You're doing that wrong and are killing your gains... Whait what?”

[@garyfarm]

I love how you guys interact and love the intro 👍👍👍

[@sydneyd.1726]

I love watching your videos very educational and motivational!! What do you think about doing a repetition tempo or OA/UA muscle video?

[@caffeinato]

Interestingly, I stopped doing every one of these because I just listened to my body. If you are paying close attention while doing these, you can *feel* when the tension routes somewhere causing irritation. There is a difference between the feeling of muscular fatigue and of stressed tendons. Yoga is actually fantastic for developing bodily awareness and I suggest it to anyone who wants to reduce their risk of injury.

[@lilmanjr9645]

same here! it got to the point where i'd experience slight pain so i moved to other exercises. Jeff really out here saving people the trouble by giving out free knowledge
