Favorite Lift?

[MuscleFr3ak101]

I was bored and wondering whats your guys favorite lift between the 3 is.

I just love to Dead Lift, it makes me feel so damned primal when I do it. It uses almost everything in the movement and too me, it requires your absolute concentration on your form while trying to maintain your highest level of energy output. I'm sure this is true for all lifts after you get more and more weight onto it, but my bench is once again sub 200 and it doesn't require nearly as much thought into proper form. Dead Lift too me is practice on once I get heavy enough in all the major lifts, it is teaching me how to find ways to concentrate when my body being depleted of so much energy.

My favorite is the deadlift.

I actually enjoy doing bench press more, but deadlift is my favorite because I feel like a beast after pulling 500lbs.

thats about it right there. bench is good and squat is...well, painful, and all 3 are just as important, but deads are so satisfying, straining against that bar, feeling it bend, straightening out its great.

Bench. Hands down.

Lately i have to say squat. Upping the weights everytime is freaking awesome.

Love the HS bench too tho, and who don't love dls?

I probably love deads and bench equally.. I enjoy doing squats however this is a much more dangerous lift so me being very conscious of that takes some of the fun out.

voted deads, but i also love over head pressing. Ultimate Warrior style

I get the most satisfaction out of doing a good set of heavy deads with good form.

Squat, Deadlift, and lastly bench. Squat and DL are too close to call for me. I like them both about equal and I am adding weight or reps to both everytime I do them lately. I really hate benching. I have got my bench up to three wheels for a few reps, but it just isn't the lift for me. I am not built to have a big barbell bench, so I stopped pursuing one. Now I love DB bench, DB inclines and all the Hammer Press machines though.

I am in a similar situation, my body doesn't seem to like bb bench but loves db bench. You say you're up to three plates, what do you do for the amount of reps on db press?

Bench.

Thats a tough call. Dead lifts are cool because you get to handle a lot of weight. Squats are cool because they just kick your ass and bench is cool because everyone loves a good chest pump...

Deadlifts

If you want a big deadlift, you have to be a little crazy.

Squat, its my best lift and I have weak forearms, so a legit dead (no straps) isn't really good for me.
