  Which exercise is the most popular in gyms?

  Over at the gym I frequently go to, the most frequently used spots are usually

  1. Triceps Pushdown (V-bar or rope)
  2. Bench Press (machine, barbell and dumbbells)
  3. Treadmill

  although the last one isn't really a bodybuilding exercise.

  How about you?

  should be those machine that train the abs. Even girls like to use the machine to get flat tummy.

  alwaysdisturbed - Yeah I often see people doing exercises in the gym with poor or incorrect form. It's quite difficult to correct them when you don't have that olympian-class figure as credentials.

  FirePig - Hey I happen to see more guys using that than girls! Maybe due to the mid-age tummy protruding out.

  Eagle - Yeah I agree. Too many people are crowding in the free weights area, standing around talking and taking up valuable space. Then again, I seldom see people do deadlifts and squats. Is it an ego thing? I think a lot of people are put off doing it because it does not look macho...
