Favorite lift

Have not really seen this in awhile. Everybody has one so chime in on what lift you personally either own, love doing, or just dig in general and why. Mine is incline press because i feel like not enough people do it.

Ah tough choice. I'm gonna say flat dumbbell press, just because I feel the stretch and contraction to be superior to flat bench IMO, atleast for me.

deadlifts, then squats as a close second...
just hit two PR's today on my deads... 2x495 and then 1x525 ...almost a 3.5x bw pull... will be hitting some big PR's this month...

im so weak on deadlifts and squats thats why i like them best atm... cant wait till i can squat at least 200lb with perfect form

Dumbell Military press,
Focused on less weight with perfect form as shoulders were lagging a few monghs ago(10kg each db). Since then im now using 22.5kg dumbells with perfect form and for more reps than before......best progress ive ever made

^shoulders are a small muscle group... if you were to put the same intensity into deads and squats, those numbers would have gone up waaaaay more, as the larger muscle have more potential for faster strength gains...

wow great PR moya! Deadlifts for me too. For a second when I saw the lift with the most votes I thought it said biceps curls and I was like wtf haha

^thanks bro... im supposed to hit PR maxes for my next two weeks... the 525 went up pretty fast honestly... next week calls for 535, and then my training cycle will peak at 550... i think i have it...
then i will have just enough time to run the 10 week program over again to peak for the Olympia... if i can go there and pull 565ish i will feel comfortable lifting there... last year i turned down the invite because i just didnt feel like i was in the same league as those guys...

i always liked squats best as i have beastly legs and that was my strongest lift. but deads just completely wreck me. after a heavy dead lift. i got nothing left, im drained so im thinkin deads are my new fav
