Wjere are dead lifts? Where is your flat bench? Where are your chins?

This list is horribly inaccurate.

Dead Lifts < Never Got my form right, risk vs reward.. not trying to gain strength just some tone.

Flat Bench < Dips are much better exercise for hitting the chest
Flat bench puts too much focus on front delts

Chins < What I meant by wide grip pull ups * Chin Ups



* Those are just my top 3, not the top 3 best ever

What gym do you go to? When I started off, I asked people who worked at the u of c gym to teach me the form, asked plenty of people there just to confirm i was doing it right.

I wouldn't ignore something because you can't get the form right, because you have plenty of resources. Deadlifts are a crucial exercise, imo its one of the most important of them all.

Nice excuse. If all you do is "tone" you don't lift enough weight to hurt yourself anyways. "Toning" is for women.

You don't know how to bench properly.

Hey genius, BF% has nothing to do with working out.

Hey Belly Button Lint.. unless your born with great genetics, you have to workout pretty hard to get your BF low.

Thanks for tip and stop jacking the thread

No you don't. Working out builds/maintains LBM. Caloric restriction lowers BF.

I can already feel myself getting weaker reading this thread.

Man lint, you know nothing, all those people living in third world countries like in Africa with miniscule BF% aren't that way because they have low Caloric intake, it's because pretty much all day everyday they get together and hit the gym hard!
