What is your favorite bodypart to train?

Back too because of deads as well it is one of my strongest body parts. I don't train chest much at all since I got implants just really light incline press and flys only focus on hitting the upper as everything else is covered.
Shoulders is my favorite. Don't know why. Maybe cause I love feeling it as i'm working it. I always get achy in my shoulders when I work em hard. And I like back as well, on good days, I feel like i'm walking around with my arms puffed out to my side, like a muscle man. Haha. Least would probably be legs. Legs are the only time I avoid taking pre-workout because I am almost garuanteed to get sick. Bleghhh

I love the whole upper body.... LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT.... upper back, lower back, bis, tris, forarms, shoulders, pecs... it's all good to me.... triceps and lower back being my 2 favorites.
I do not like legs. I don't have nice legs... no matter how hard I tried I just couldn't get them to shape as nice and as EASILY as my upper body.

I have a love hate relationship with leg training.
I love what it does to my legs, I like squatting or leg pressing heavy and I even like the whole DOMs thing.
There is that mental thing that I know it is going to take a massive effort and be quite painful while doing it (before the fact) that has legs not be my favs.

Love biceps dislike quadriceps (in lunges....)

Shoulders! I always feel sexy after I do a good shoulder work out 
Like trapezius too, not sure if that's the correct name

Crazy as it may sound, I LOVE training all body parts!! I just love the way I feel when I'm done. The rush and the pump are worth it to me. I look forward to getting up at 4am to hit the gym at 5. I'm actually bummed when I'm done.
But if I had to pick my favorite, I have to say Legs, then back. I always have a kickass leg day.

Thanks thandie!!
I've been around. Just allot going on with my son being deployed.
But I am still am at the gym at 5am!!
Thighs. I love squats. I go deep, slow, and heavy. I like savor every second of it.
Borderline masochistic with them. Least favorite bodypart is the same as your's. I dread curls.

I have been tacking on one or two arm exercises at the end of workouts when the muscle is already pre-exhausted, so at the end of back, I will do biceps.
Gironda/body drag curls are far more tolerable for biceps, and I also quite like the hammerstrength preacher curl bench.
Other than that, for biceps, retch.
Someone also suggested to go a lot heavier on biceps, it does make it a bit better.
I do the same thing for triceps on chest day, but I like training triceps.
I start off w/ 4 sets of leg extensions, then 4 sets of leg presses, 4 sets of hack squats
I finish w/4 sets standing calf raises & 4 sets seated calf raises
I really like working arms, makes me feel "macho"
Not too crazy about triceps but they respond for me really well, better than the biceps, in fact. For least favorite ... legs. Don't respond for beans and between my spinal problems, and limited equipment since I work from home, I can't really work them heavy. I've actually thought about joining the YMCA just to have access to a sled.
Tat, what is a Gironda Curl? I've googled it and have conflicting responses.

You drag the bar up your body instead of having it move in the arc.
I am at work so I can't youtube all that easily, I will look for one tomorrow.

Leg extensions are great for a warm up for legs.
I find that there isn't anything that works the legs as well as squats, and if you want to focus more on your quads, front squats or sissy squats.
Nothing for your hamstrings?
I find stiff leg dead lifts are amazing for hamstrings and glutes.
How many reps are you doing?
If you are getting bored, then you might find a welcome break by going heavier and only doing 6-8 reps and three sets, or once a month throwing in some German volume training.
Only use one exercise for legs, typically squats or leg press are best and use a weight that is around 65% of your maximum lifting weight.
Do 10 sets of 10 reps with only a minute and a half rest between each set.
It doesn't take that long and it is also a killer cardiovascular exercise.
I like curls, must go with MM too on the "macho" feeling when training arms ^_^
LOOOOVE sldl or Romanians for ham/glute training.
I find that GVT is a welcome alternative for me when I am feeling overwhelmed by lifing HEAVY on that particular day. It can get a little boring though. I usually wait only 30-60 seconds between sets to move the workout along. It becomes VERY difficult the last 3 sets.
My favorites to train are biceps and back
+1 I get VERY light headed when I train legs.... specially leg press....
