3 - Squat
4 - Bench Press
5 - BB Row

Deadlift is king. At this point for me, it's the only lift that really makes me feel like I'm not a total weakling.

OHP is love/hate. I want so badly to be able to do this for 5x5 @135 with strict form, but that's a ways off yet.

Deadlifts.

I tried clean & jerk this week, was really fun. But just taking 120kg of the floor in deadlifts, and people around being amazed of that, I can`t find anything else better.
I really like OHP as well. Bench press starting to be okay as well, but I think this is the most boring barbell exercise.

I HATE push-ups though :P

Deadlifts feel good man. Because I haven't stalled on 'em yet, and I can do the highest weight with it, and it doesn't feel as exhausting as squats. I'd rather have receive a swift kick to the balls that do squats, some days.

One arm snatch, no contest. Though if I have to pick from those in the poll, it'll be deadlift.
