Most UNSAFE Exercises That People Still Do!

[oldtimer1]

Absolutely the bench press. Almost every big bench guy that I know of is finished benching in their late 40's.  Seen more than a few 400lbs bench guys that can't do 225 without pain from the damage of benching for decades. It's an unnatural lift. Do it enough and you lose flexibility in the shoulder joint. That inflexibility will lead to a bigger bench but it will also lead to the increased probability of a tear. The bench is a relatively new exercise. Prior the clean and press was spoken of as the example of strength demonstration. The bench is the favorite lift without question because it's an exercise done lying on a bed.

well rest is important so it is very convinient to be able to sleep right after benching

Those guys that insist they won't bench because it's 'dangerous' (oh brother) but proceed to (over)load the pec-deck and without correcting the seat height or warming up then start forcing out terrible internal rotator cuff straining reps while insisting that the paddles must smash together in the center to count...

Yes, I stopped benching in my 30's.  Had shoulder pain for years that I thought would never go away and after several months of not benching the pain went away never to return.  Dumbbell floor presses and pushups are all I do for chest now.

Weighted dips can be unsafe for shoulders

Use weight that exceeds the strength of the connective tissues in a joint and you are heading for trouble,

Guys will have a joint issue, rest for a couple weeks until pain goes away, then jump right back into the exercise with weights that are excessive.

Then they wonder why they have pain again.  Keep this up and your pain becomes chronic.

Connective tissue (tendons and ligaments) takes much longer to toughen and strengthen than muscle tissue.  

You must add weight no faster than your connective tissue can handle.  

After an injury start as light as necessary to have no pain, even using no weight.  Add weight very gradually over a long period to allow connective tissue to strengthen/toughen.

This may take 3-6 months or longer.

Overstress of a joint/tendon/ligament can cause tendonitis, bursitis, etc., which if not allowed to heal can become chronic and lead to arthritis.

And or Cause Injuries.

Sounds like a typical powerlifting bench day warm up

Not enough side raises. In fact if you look at the human anatomy of the shoulder all types of raises are far Superior to presses.

Leg extensions.

Puts the biggest amount of stress possible on the knee joint and tendons with minimal gains, if any at all.

I have terrible knees and high rep leg extensions are the only exercise I can do for my quads without serious pain the next day

I would say using the Vince Basille biceps machine.
