I used to hate incline bench. I usually pushed for the flat and decline and just insert incline cause the workout said so.
i might do heavy 5 x 5 flat, then just do 3 x 12 incline with moderate challenging weight to get over it, then can push harder after for the decline hammer strength.
today, I think my dumbbell incline max is higher than my flat already 😁

Not a single exercise but 5x5 workout program and my fav exercise was clean and jerk it helped bench 100KG back then in my 20s when I was 64KG

split squats because I had multiple knee injuries and a broken fibula but once I felt strong enough to do them modified to regular over time they definitely strengthened my cardio sessions and overall lower body

I wouldn't say avoided, just unable to do.
at first on assisted dips, but moving to being able to do bodyweight and then weighted dips were a massive game changer to overall upper body width and size.
another one for me was implementing low to high chest raises with cables and DBs. really started to expand my upper chest faster than just inclines alone.

Well, for me it's the deadlift, but I didn't avoid it, I just did a lot of other exercises instead. I started deadlifting at the age of 49.
