What's your favourite lift?

[holvoetn]

Deadlift all the way.

For me, it's a swing between the squat & deadlift - sometimes one is a favourite, sometimes the other. Right now, I voted for squats. But I see from the votes that deadlift wins hands down.

I like olympic lifts the most, but I don't know how to do them, so deadlift for me.

This is surely the only favourite lift poll on the internet where Bench is nearing last place lol!

Nice to see a lot of love for the deadlift, i know i already voted but i would say this would be my second choice and its for a similar reason to the OHP and has mentioned by people before. I find the OHP and Deadlift to be the two most natural lifts, pulling something off the floor and pressing something overhead.

Anyway lets see some more love for the OHP

Deadlift for sure, I feel like a fucking beast when I pull heavy.

Power clean is my favorite. The strength and power benefits are obvious, but I like the technical challenges as well... something about constantly tweaking form and working towards technical proficiency is very fulfilling.

No barbell row?? If I had to pick now it would likely be squat or deadlift, but I started BB rows yesterday and I have a feeling those are going to be my lift of choice!

Edit: I picked squat for now, but if one of the mods can add BB row I think I would go for that

Overhead Press. Every 2.5kg increase is just amazingly satisfying. When I get those big 20kg wheels overhead for reps I'll be a happy man.

Deadlift is a close second. It always gets attention in the gym even though I'm not doing a big weight yet.

Deadlift. I like them with the snatch grip for a little extra violence on the traps and hams.

[itsbruce]

Squats. I like deadlifts but then deadlifts have been the easiest lifts for me all the way along. Squats, though; I hated squats before I started this program and now I get the biggest sense of achievement from them.

[JCedolia]

The clean and snatch, I love lifting big weight over my head in a explosive way.

[doit]

My vote goes for the olympic lifts, Clean & Jerk and the snatch. I simply love them.

[MikeD]

Squats and deads are 2 different beasts, and I love them equally.

I picked deads, though.

[Glutenbob]

Squat cos it is an ego booster for me and I feel like a manly man. LOL. Deadlifts and OHP come in a close second.

I absolutely HATE bench press

[jpez]

Wow! So far deads are way in front of every lift. I honestly expected squats to take the lead and leave deadlifts way behind.
