If you DON'T want to look like a shredded gymnast, DON'T care about long-term joint health, DON'T want to perform exercises with masterful precision, and DON'T want to learn various impressive skills, in this video, I'll share what you should skip in your workouts to achieve just that.

1. Skip the warm-up

Just skip the warm-up entirely.

Some people say it's a waste of time and unnecessary. If you must, because you've been injured before, just do a few arm circles, use a massage gun, or sit in a sauna which works great for a warm-up, given the warm temperature.

2. Skip joint preparation

Ignore joint preparation.

Since many don't even know what it is, they completely skip it, probably doing it right, so you should too.

Joint preparation exercises are only meant to mobilize and strengthen your joints and critical areas to prepare them for more intense load.

3. Jump into advanced exercises

Just jump into any flashy exercise you want to learn and try them out; they'll eventually work out.

There's no point in using progressions and following a logical order.

4. Rush the reps

Don't perform controlled reps, do them quickly, as if you were in a hurry.

Just pump out those reps, the point is to make the muscle swell.

Controlled repetitions would only work your muscles more efficiently, resulting in longer muscle tension and more intense load.

If you did your exercises this way, you might end up muscular, so definitely don't pay attention to that.

5. Don't use the full range of motion

You're better off pumping in a short range of motion.

Using the full range of motion would only make your exercises more effective, improve joint mobility, body awareness, increase timer under tension, and result in more intense load.

This would mean you could progress better and become more muscular, so definitely avoid it!

6. Never lock your elbows

Don't lock your elbows, as it could put a huge load on the joint and immediately cause injuries.

Gymnasts perform nearly all their exercises with locked elbows, and see how unhealthy they are?

This is because the biceps participate not just in elbow but also shoulder flexion. Gymnasts gradually strengthen this movement, the tissues around the elbow joint and the biceps itself.

But you're better off listening to stereotypes and never lock your elbows again.

7. Don't breathe during exercises

Don't breathe during exercises.

It's well-known that the intensity of an exercise is good when you have to exert yourself to the point of not being able to breathe.

At the highest level, this involves fainting after a set.

So, if that's your goal, hold your breath as long as possible.

It’s true, that there is a general recommendation to inhale during the eccentric phase and exhale during the concentric phase, among other breathing techniques that only increase performance, but those are for amateurs, and the real tough ones just ignore them all.

8. Don't stretch after workout

Lastly, definitely do not stretch after your workout.

Stretching would help return your muscles to their resting tone, normalize your nervous system, and kickstart the recovery process.

Moreover, effective stretching techniques, such as PNF stretching or loaded progressive stretching, could significantly improve your flexibility, which would be disastrous since, of course, it's cool to be as stiff as broomstick, so you can’t scratch your back or tie your shoes.

So, as soon as you're done with your last set, just grab your stuff say goodbye to you buddies and leave.

So, these are the 8 most important things to keep in mind if you want your workout to be complete mess, not progress at all, and accidentally achieve your goals: skip the warm-up, don't do joint preparation, jump into advanced exercises, rush the repetitions, don't use the full range of motion, never lock your elbows, don't breathe during exercises, and don't stretch after your workout.

Now, of course, this entire video was made purely for entertainment purposes, and I hope the sarcasm was obvious.

I don't recommend anyone actually follow these tips.
