    Let's get a discussion going here, what are your favorite exercises for the following...

    Quads: Leg Press
    Hamstrings: Lying Leg Curls
    Glutes: Sumo Squats
    Calves: Standing Calf Raise
    Chest: Incline Smith Press
    Shoulders: Side Laterals
    Back: T-bar Rows
    Biceps: Cable Preacher Curls
    Triceps: Skull Crushers
    Abs: Hanging Leg Raises

    Those are my top ones, I have MANY more but love these and always incorporate these into my workouts...

    As you stated getting to one favorite for some body parts is so hard but here you go....

    Quads: Leg Press
    Hamstrings: Lying Leg Curls
    Glutes: Squats
    Calves: Seated Calf Raise
    Chest: DB shallow incline
    Shoulders: Side Laterals
    Back:Pulldowns
    Biceps: DB Hammer Curls
    Triceps: V bar press downs
    Abs: Hanging Leg Raises

    But you do make me ask... for the incline smith... I am assuming since it is your favorite... that the sort of locked path of motion does not give you any shoulder or elbow issues? I will have to try these as I think I will like them a lot, but was always scared that the fixed path of motion would not allow my arms or shoulders to move in a more natural path per say. So will have to try them for sure now.

    I love DB Incline too for that reason of not being locked in, but for me I can really focus on just the pecs when doing them in my Smith, changing hand position helps too, my left shoulder gives me grief too, I will do Cable Crossovers, push-ups, and rotator cuff warm up exercises prior to the incline for warm up to get things going before I press. I also like doing decline as well in the Smith, but usually do more DB for them.

    Thanks MA, I am going to give the inclines a try. I like the idea of them and really being able to focus on the chest as you press makes total sense. Will let you know how they go and what I think.
