The 5 Worst Exercises for Men Trying to Regain Muscle

Overhead Press (Improper Form): When done incorrectly, this exercise can strain the shoulders and lead to injury, hindering muscle growth.

Upright Rows: This exercise can cause shoulder impingement, limiting the range of motion and potentially leading to joint issues.

Behind-the-Neck Lat Pulldown: This variation puts unnecessary stress on the shoulder joints and may cause injury if performed with poor technique.

Leg Extensions: While effective for targeting the quads, they isolate muscles too much and put pressure on the knee joints, risking injury.

Smith Machine Squats: The fixed bar path limits natural movement, potentially putting stress on the knees and back rather than building overall strength.
