i would say barbell curls are the shit..you really nned to have guts to do this exercise with proper from..cambered bar or a straight bar,this exercise is fuckin painfull as hell..fucks up my joints and also its very tough to increase the weight on this exercise too..i hate barbell curls
-
Barbell curls are easy. Perfect form with torturous forced reps to failure. Tough but easy compared to some other exercises.
Squats to failure with forced reps are the worst! And standing calf rises to failure with good form and slow reps are second for me.

i almost forgot about squats..i would say barbell curls and squats are equally tough and fuckin painfull too...

Military Barbell Press for me is like Squats are to most people. Don't know why. :-\
-
Nothing to do with arm work, they're small muscles & are away from the core.
Work involving the largest muscles, and/or core, that quickly generate oxygen debt:
Squats, free-weight 2-arm BB/T-bar rows, chins, cleans, etc.
Joint pain is something else; the exercise has to be corrected using a different grip, form or exercise, or more moderate reps.
-
heavy legpress,
let the weight come down and press.
no ways to cheat, no ways to escape.
-
1) Clean & Jerk Press...total body workout if done from a squat clean position.
2) DL's
3) Squats
All for higher reps...12-20
Also among the more brutal:
Pullover & press
Dips...weighted
BB Row
Good Luck.
-
Gotta go with squat presses (Thrusters)!
-
any compound done correctly is hard
-
How do you guys do these exercises with that loud lunk alarm goin' off every set?
-
clean and press
squats
deadlifts
pull ups( real pull ups all the way down locking out and pulling up to the neck)
-
In my current routine, squats and deadlifts easily.
-
how the f**k is a barbell curl hard?
Out of the exercises that bodybuilders usually do, squats require the most amout of coordination and effort IMO. Deadlifts have the "tough" factor but dont require as much skill.
As for exercises in general... the Oly lifts are a bitch to learn.
-
Probably Deadlifts for me, since I never got the form right, so it was hard in that sense.
As for strength wise, hard to say. Going to failure takes it out of me on any 'cise.

HAng clean and press, man sets of 10 burn like crazy. crazy long reps, i mean the bars only half way through the rep wen its travelled from ur knees to full lockout above ur head. But u feel awesome wen ur done.

You misunderstood what he's saying here, jsut like I did. He's listing the exercises that he finds painful, not necessarily the one's that he finds take the most effort... for example, he mentions that barbell curls cause a burn in his forearms... this is akin to feeling a good burn after/during a set of calf raises.
On that note I wanna apologise to him for the harsh language I used. There was no need for it.
-
Toughest - DL's and Pullups
Must burning, leg extentions (yeah, i said it, they fucking hurt) and calf raises.
-
This is a tricky question, squats and deads make me want to puke and hurt when I'm finished, but when I'm doing them it's not so much pain, I feel more pressure then pain. They are the hardest lifts to perform, but the most painful for me.....hanging leg raises. I'm serious too, when I do these it actually feels like someone has a blow torch 6" away from my lower abs.

ITS ALL OK MAN...BUT THERE ARE SOME ASSHOLES WHO DON'T HAVE THE WORD APOLOGISE IN THEIR VOCABULARY...
-
Clean & Press.....a few heavy sets and Im toast.

weightlifting in general are very tough...that is clean and jerk and snatch
-
1. Heavy squats -bar none
2. Any serious tri-set for legs
3. Down the rack side laterals
-
Hack squats.
-
20 rep squats with 30 sec rest in between sets. makes you wish you were never born.
-
heavy deads
-
Another tough one is Incline Dumbell Curls..aint no cheating in those... also barbell rows
-
Probably squats for high reps is the toughest exercise. Closely followed by deadlifts. Closely followed by calf raises. Oooooh, the pain!!!
