(Poll) What's your favorite single barbell execrice?

[mmafan2000]

I used to be a gym rat back in the day when I still had hair and proper testosterone levels and no virus plague. I used to do all these in the poll along with excessive creatine. Which is your favorite? My favorite was and still is bench press. Least favorite was dead lifts. I could never get the technique right. Always had back pains after. Would much rather squat than deadlift.

What's yours?

 

[Rand M Arthur]

Deadlift

 

[MilkManUK]

Squats! Close 2nd deadlifts as my lanky ass seems slightly better at them.

 

[Zarate]

zercher squats and hip thrusts

 

[belph]

If you asked me 5 years ago I would've said squat or snatch but curls are my current favorite.

 

[ASUThermo]

Cleans of any kind.

Has any part of your body taken damage over the years from excessive squatting?

 

[Oblivian]

It seems to vary all of the time based on what I'm excelling at or if a lift is hurting me. Right now it's probably deadlift. Squats are usually one of my favorites since I'm probably best at those, but I've had nagging injuries and aches from them lately. I go through phases of really liking to snatch even though I suck at them.

No.

What’s “excessive” squatting?

I used to be pretty happy with my deadlift and OHP numbers but never really liked performing either. I look forward to rows and hang cleans though, I really enjoy those lifts.

 

[Jkillah]

Deadlift is by far my favorite.

 

[Fahcough]

No.

[Phlog]

Deadlift or barbell step up for me.

I like bench and press a lot too, squats are a necessary evil.

Can you hate the 1st set of squats but once the hips warm up and start getting depth you get hyped for the 4th and 5th set?

Can you warm up better?

 

[Fahcough]

Can you warm up better?

100% could lol

Moved squats from 1st lift to 5th one. After 6 sets of BW lunges, goblet squats, and some box jumps. Feels way better on 1st loaded squat. But the 3rd and 4th feel even better after putting some weight on bar.
