Pushups: Strengthen chest, which in turn means that each time you do a pushup you are contracting your trazius muscles which weakens them. Bad for upper back.
Trapezius*
quite obviously a typo.
Nah, you just have no prior knowledge of the muscles in the Human body.
Yeah, sure. I'm the one encouraging people to destroy their body under the impression they're improving it.
Having studied anatomy, biology, and being a lifter though, I do know a little about muscle development.
Situps: notoriously bad for your beck, overstretching and far too often, crunches are slightly better but either way you're contracting your back muscles. Bad for lower back.
Great for having flat abs and burning off small amounts of fat calories all over the body*
hahah, flat abs? you want flabs? you are a fucking retard.
Are you suggesting that being fat is enjoyable?
No lol, just that no muscle in the human body is flat. Unless its freakishly underdeveloped. Go learn yourself.
Also, I bet you people don't do shit for legs. Enjoy being weak mutants with terrible balance, posture and co-ordination. I presume the person to which I am replying is just a rare case of retard.
Run all the time and am on the track team.*
wasn't talking about you, not that running means shit anyway. running isn't anything like the same as working out. do some squats you bitch.
Running really does do more for the legs than squatting ever could. It does more for the whole body, actually. It's sort of like comparing apples to razor blades. Running is aerobic, lifting is anaerobic. If you don't know what that means, ask Jeeves. Oh wait, he died.
NO, running is nowhere near comparable to squats, leg presses etc. It does not significantly build any leg muscle. If you're saying running is better for the heard, well DUH, HEY GUYS I JUST WORKED OUT CARDIO IS GOOD FOR YOUR RESPIRATORY SYSTEM. Lifting can be aerobic though, squatting definitely so, so shut up.
If people don't do back workouts, it's their own damned fault. Don't tell people to quit just because you don't have an iota of common sense in training.
don't remember telling people to quit, just that this is a fucking stupid idea, especially if you're not going to warn of the risks in the op.
There really aren't any risks to worry about.
Lmao, there are huge risks if done in excess. Refer to my first post.
