Favourite & Worst Excercise
What's everyone's favourite and worst exercise? My Favourite is either squat or chess press as I find it easy and enjoy big weights with these exercises. Worst is pull ups or Jumping/leaping lunges, trying to improve my pull ups and my heart races when doing leaping lunges not to mention my legs ache.
