Oh Dear Pull-Ups

[PaleoCrossfit]

I hate thee. I despise thee. I loathe thee.

Yet you make my back look fantastic. You make me feel stronger than I've ever felt before. One day I will complete 20 of you unbroken.

What's YOUR least favorite workout/movement, but makes you feel the strongest?

20!!!! That's a pipe dream for me! I can do three sets of 10 push-ups; but I have yet to do one full pull-up. It's getting better though. An inch off the floor was all I could do 6 months ago. Now, I can go a good 8 inches. So the short answer to your question is - SAME AS YOURS!  And this in spite of significant strength training over the last six months or so.

Thats great!

I like Planks myself

One word: burpees.

I guess it depends on my mood.  Sit-ups, push-ups, burpees, triceps, biceps,.....but running on the treadmill requires the most effort and determination......but it's working!

I strength train and my least favorite is "leg day".  An hour of pain basically.  But the satisfaction when I finish is worth it.  And the results are amazing!

Funny how everyone is so different with training, I love leg day! lol

Agreed completely. It's awesome to see how different people are!

By far my least favorite CrossFit exercise is the overhead squat. I really struggle with my balance and form on that.

As for strength building and overall benefits, I have to agree that few compare to pullups. I actually like pullups, though, for some strange reason.

@WhiteHusky1975 Thursters are my nemisis.

LOL. I can see why anyone would think that. We did 100 of them in my CrossFit group yesterday. After a few rounds of 10 I dropped the weight on the bar real fast. They are rough!
