5 Exercises you Shouldn't be Doing

1. Stripper Deadlifts

Straightening your legs first, then lifting the bar only with your hands. This is why you are wearing your pain face and not your PR face.

You are not a stripper. Don’t deadlift like one.

2. Quarter Squats

A quarter squat is not a squat. If you can’t perform one rep with full range of motion because there is too much weight on the bar, then the only thing you’re working is your ego. Quarter squatting 500lbs impresses no one.
You are not a hero. You are an idiot. 

3. Head Bobbing Sit-ups

Sit-ups are designed for abdominal muscles. Not heads and necks.
You are not a woodpecker. Don't make like one.

4. Treadmill Running

Get off the hamster wheel and get outside. So what if it’s raining?
You are not a snowman. You will not melt.

5. Single Unders

Single unders are no substitute for double unders. Learn how to do double unders.
Do 100 of them for time and you’ll see why.
