10 Exercises Every Man Should Avoid!

These popular exercises hide serious dangers and can cause injuries. In this video, we reveal the 10 exercises you should exclude from your workout routine. At the top of our list, we have the Smith machine squat. This exercise restricts your body's natural movement, compromising your freedom of movement and placing an excessive load on your spine. It is much more beneficial to start with free squats, using just your body weight, and gradually add dumbbells and barbells, progressing safely. The high row is also on the list of exercises to avoid. Although it works the trapezius and the side of the body, this movement puts an excessive load on the joints and can result in injury. It is preferable to perform lateral raises and shrugs, which provide a balanced development of the muscles. The behind-the-head press is another problematic exercise. By performing it, you put your shoulder joint in an unfavorable position, increasing the risk of injury. Choose to do the frontal press, which works the same muscles without compromising the joint.
