  Sadly, Solomon and I forgot to discuss the Big 6th exercise.<br><br>Which is, quite obviously, the triceps kickback.<br><br>Next time.

  Bosu ball squat is my favorite. I love to spend time in the hospital.

  I disagree. Deadlift trains the most important muscle: Ego.

  I do prefer machines over barbell movements but machines are really annoying when it comes to tracking because every company has different resistance profiles. At least for a barbell you can go to any gym and it will always be the same.

  These movements are fun to do and make the gym feel more like a hobby and less like a grind. As someone not doing strength or bodybuilding competitions, trying to optimize hypertrophy is a lower priority than staying motivated to keep training.

  I gravitate toward barbells over machines because in my gym the machines are always taken and have lines, whereas no one is hanging out in the squat rack or deadlift platform.

  OHP is by far the most badass exercise, even if it&apos;s not optimal.
