Favorite Lift?

[Anthony Cissell]

What's everybody's favorite lift? Either gym lift or event, and how do you guys train it? Figured it should be an interesting subject...

[Mike Landrich]

Log Press. I train it on shoulder day and occasionally on an events day.

[Tony Christopher]

I generally like pressing of all sorts ... I try to alternate between DBs, barbells, push, strict, C & J etc. but usually do some sorts of pressing 2-3x a week.

[Kÿle Vezeau]

Incline Barbell Press.

[Nikhil Rao]

push press and push jerk.

Deadlift is a close second.

[Chris Mathison]

Push press But If I had to choose only one exercise to do the rest of my life it would be Deadlift.

[Kory Forshaw]

squats baby

[RyanJohnston]

Deadlifting, log clean and press, farmer's walk and atlas stones.

[Johnathon Conner]

deadlift deadlift deadlift

[Jared Enderton]

Snatch... love the explosiveness

[Jonathan Macfarlane]

A deep back squat.

It is in my mind the most manly lift. Yes, you can argue that the deadlift is a greater test of strength, but there is something absolutely primal about having a weight on your back that would crush most men. I see it as a battle, me versus the iron and I will only win if I show the bar no mercy.

Sure some may think I'm being over dramatic about the squat, but to me, doing a heavy squat is modern man's version of slaying the dragon or winning the war. Sometimes I feel I learn more about myself when I'm squatting, than I do anywhere else.

Alba qa bra! :BB:

[darrell baker]

[Jerame Linnell]

DEADLIFT! Bloody shins and shredded hands :M: I am talking Chuck Norris MANLY :cool:

[David Campbell]

My favorite lift has always and will always be the deadlift.

[Scott Kaiser]

Bloody forearm heavy stones! :EL:

[Michael Ambrose]

gym - squat and deadlift - heavy primal lifting GRRRRRRRRR!

strongamn event - tire (love it's all around conditioning), stones (my old nemesis now one of my favorites) and chain yoke walk (toughest core work I have ever done)

[Dane Kelley]

farmers walk or yoke walk i love walking with huge weights and stones something about lifting rocks just kicks a$$

[Matt Schumann]

PERSONALLY,

Deadlift's , i hate them but i love them

push press or push jerk

tire flip's

and kinda sorta starting to enjoy the stones but i dont train with them often enough to like them yet

[chrisklavette]

Deadlift. The lift damn near has broken my spirits at times but every time I come out on top I feel so much better

[HunterHenzler]

hmmm
Squat and DL..but I also love the Push press, although I dont push press that often...

[Jim Glover]

Sandbag clean.

I love the feeling of the deadweight crushing down on my chest and knowing that discomfort is because my lift was successful.

I can't weight to clean a 300 lb sandbag.

[Matt Brouse]

Farmer's Walk. Axle Clean and Press is climbing the list however...

[chrisperticari]

Definately deadlift....at least for gym lift. Stones is def my favorite event!

[Jake Peeterse]

I like pretty much anything heavy, well heavy for me, Deadlifts might be the best ever though!

[Sean Hatley]

Deadlift. Love Deadlifting

[corey.clark]

used to be squats for me, but now I think I'm starting to enjoy deadlifts more
