ordered from most liked to most disliked
Ayy lmao how u progressing clone?
>Overhead Press: Lifting heavy shit over your head is fun and you feel alpha as fuck
>Bench Press: Another fun, primal lift. But it's worse than OHP because setting up the correct height on the power rack takes time
>Barbell Row: It's ok
>Front Squat: I always have to make sure my forms is perfect because I'm afraid of getting a hernia
>Deadlift: The same as front squat, but putting the weights on/off the bar is a massive pain in the ass
OHP: I'ts hard to progress but that makes it so fucking fun, I feel indestructible when I perform the lift. love it.
DL: Like it a lot, moving really heavy shit helps with your mindset. this and OHP get me high on endorphins.
Squat: Used to like it. Fucked up my back like 3 months ago. now I can't remember proper form and always en up with back pain
Bench: Never liked it, bores me.
Barbell Row: This lift can Fuck Off, almost never feel my back, prefer pull ups
Beginner here. Lifting comfortable weights, not extremely heavy yet as I'm still learning form.
Squats: Love 'em, do 'em every workout.
Bench: Boring as shit.
OHP: Somehow hard for me to get my face away from the bar, always afraid I'm going to lower the bar straight on my head after a rep. Maybe I'm missing coordination.
Deadlift: I always end up lifting with my lower back like a retard.
Barbell row: Pretty fun, though I'm worried I'm not doing them 100% correctly.
Somehow all the supposedly easier lifts are hard for me while the supposedly hard squats aren't.
In order of preference
>OHP
>Bench
>Squat
>Deadlift/Rows (tie)
For deadlifts and rows, I always feel like I'm doing them wrong, even when I'm not.
>OHP: fuck yeah i'm pressing over my own body weight for reps
>diddly: yeah look how heavy this shit is i gotta use all the plates
>bench: fuck i gotta go find someone to spot me so i don't guillotine myself
>squat: fuuuuuuuuuaaaaaaark my spine
>barbell row: i don't even do this
In order of preference:
OHP : Nothing more invigorating than picking something up and lifting it in the air.
Deadlift: Got good leg genes so I like it.
Bench : The most fun when you've got a hype spotter. Kind of boring otherwise.
Squats : Boring.
Barbell Row : Hate doing rows, I don't know why.
bench>ohp>deadlift>row>>>>>>squats
>OHP
Best lift for me, it is at least 70% my 1RM for bench
>Deadlift
Second best lift. Feels good to pull heavy stuff off the ground.
>Squat
Makes me feel like a man afterward
>Bench
I'm a benchlet. Probably can throw 335 up one time, but in comparison to my other lifts, it's piss poor
Fuck, forgot BB row. I'll place it between OHP and deadlift
>The Press
>Deadlift
>Squat
>Barbell Row
>"Bench"
Fuck bench, fuck ohp, fuck squat and fuck deadlift. They're all hard as shit. Bb rows are nice and fun though if I cheat, can't wait until I hit 4pl8 working sets for them.
Overhead press
Barbell row
Bench (I can't do it atm though, doing weighted dips instead)
(Front) squats
(Sumo) deadlift
>mfw i can ohp 70kg for 5 reps
>deadlift: there's something so invigorating about deadlifts, especially when you're on your max weight
>bench: I found these to be easier than most of my other lifts
>squat: while squats are enjoyable, it takes so much time to become accustomed to a new weight
>barbell row: just kinda an "eh" exercise, just do it bc I have to
>OHP: got stuck on a plateau for the longest time on this so I don't like it
335 lbs bench is fucking impressive. Literally "1% one of the strongest people in a mile radius" like.
Can't rate for most "big strong feel" since all my lifts are fucking poverty r/n, 3 months in.
Deadlift (progress most consistent. 2pl8 next week)
Bench (grunk have strong arm, swing big club. Progress also consistent)
Squat (legs my strongest body part)
OHP (hardest lift, 30lbs away from 1pl8, only lift I've had to delay progression)
Row (never failed, but never feel any activation)
>>deadlift: I like these the most because I can do just deadlifts and pretend that I have done a full workout because I'm spent
>>bench: bro stuff, nuf said
>>overhead press: basically fluff and pump bs, but its a compound so you can pretend its not a waste of time
>>barbell row: these remind me that I don't do lower back enough, even though I do deadlifts. Would rather do seated cable rows
>>squats: ugh.
dl-the intensity is what I enjoy and the feeling of my arms being ripped off, can really energize me for the rest of my workout and into my day 325x8
bench-now that my form is much better and my ac joint isnt hurting as much I can really start to see the gains 225x5
ohp-need to fix my shoulders cause I have had to move to log press it feel a little better 155x3
rows-usually at after dl's so it can hurt my back 205x3
squat-hurts my back 295x5

>overhead press: a bit awkward but I like it
>bench: feels a bit awkward
love squats and deads.
recently got knee pain from squats. i think im having knee slide at the bottom
OHP - strong upper back & shoulders makes it easy to start lift. About 80% of bench, back up to ~ 185 for sets after straining my back
DL - super easy once I found my groove. Once DLed every day for months. Prefer pulling sumo after back issues that started from a car accident, but I can pull conventional. Back warmup takes longer than DL sets though
Bench - used to hate it. Learned how to get properly tense & set, now is easy-ish but still sucks
Squats - always takes the wind out of me if I go heavy enough. Also tends to require even more warmup than DL. Currently also doing zerchers and loving what they do for form but love-hating the pain. If you hate pain, squats will be your nemesis
Rows - can't barbelll row for shit after accident. do DB rows instead; don't have a negative on them but they're just the least easy to get worked up for
Deadlift: fun, sometimes I get paranoid about form but when people spot me they don't see anything wrong
Squat: pretty close to squatting over my own bodyweight, which is really cool
Bench: fun but really hard
OHP: I hate it, I keep stalling
Row: 99% certain I'm doing it wrong
>not at 2pl8 diddly
>105 OHP
wat
OHP > squat = deadlift > BB row > bench
1. ohp undoubted the most fun
2. barbell row
3. (front) squats
4. diddlys
power gap
5. bench, too afraid of going snap city on that one so fuck it
>people actually like OHP
???????
>OHP
love hate. It's the most fun lift by far and gets me super pumped but I stall on it too much.
>BB Row
Training back feels good man. It's my strongest lift by far.
>Bench
super comfy
>Diddly
it's fun picking up heavy shit
>Squat
only lift I don't enjoy, fuck squats.
Overhead press:
>Those job requirements that ask if you can lift 50 pounds over your head? Well I can lift three 50 pound things at once over my head.
Rows:
>Haha I'm rowing a boat with a 215 lb oar, lotsa fun!
Bench:
>I'm training just like all those workout montages in the movies!
Deadlifts:
>they're going to call me a resturaunt because of how many plates I got.
Squats:
>I like to pretend I'm a housewife (male) that is trying to lift a a smartcar off of her child by getting underneath it somehow and squatting it.
Gotta make working out fun somehow.
>squats
GOAT. y'all a bunch of faggots.
>ohp
makes me feel stronk and people usually watch
>row
only pendlays. makes me dizzy as fuck, but still nice.
>deadlift
used to go fairly heavy but my grip technique was dogshit. working my way up again with hook grip. am tall so it's also more difficult.
>bench
much prefer incline and decline.
Ohp: It's the manliest lift ever plus you get wide af shoulders
Bench: I have good benching genetics and it feels good that I can easily progress on it.
Rows: just like the ohp this helps develop a nice V-taper, who doesn't wanna thick and wide back?
Deadlifts: another manly af exercise, love it.
Squats: fuck that shit I'm a manlet and my legs grow like wheat.
>squat
feel like i have a duty to do it
>ohp
my self-validation tool
>deadlift
i usually do the two above ones and don't do this
>barbell row
i just do dumbbell ones
>bench
it's pretty comfy, I treat myself to it usually after doing squat and ohp
SL 5x5 progression is a fucking meme.
My SL progression worked fine, is he just stalling on his diddly?
>overhead: lifting weight over your head is a lot of fun, sore shoulders is a great feeling
>bench: sore chest feels amazing
>deadlift: lifting a lot of weight is nice but sore back doesnt feel as good as the first two to me
>row: my right scapula is a little bit winged and these make my upper right back feel really weird, like skin/muscle is being moved by the bone in an unnatural way. Gives me the chills
>squat: these put me out of breath, which no other lift does, and I only train legs so they dont look stupid compared to my upper body. I dont really feel proud about my ass getting bigger
nice triple double user
Bench = Deadlift = OHP > Squat > Row
Rows > Bench > OHP >Diddylifts > Squats
OHP > Bench > DL > Squat
Deadlifts —- favourite day, feel like a greco god afterwards
Bench —- second favourite day, pumps make want to skull crush my enemies face
Chin-ups (weighted) —- thirdies, lots of gym mires
OHP —- don’t like the gurning faces i pull, look and feel retarded doing them
Rows —- love the pumps but again, feel gay and violated after doing them
Bench - I like it but I'm not very strong on it. My upper spine is fucked so I'm not very stable and also my right shoulder has issues.
OHP - It's alright. Sometimes I like it sometimes I dont.
Squat - Tedious but ya gotta do it.
Deadlift - God tier and I feel amazing every time.
Why does deadlifting feel so much better than squatting?
deadlift -knocks me on my ass the rest of the day but the next few days im refreshed and ready to do everything
squat - never feel like ill ever get the depth i need to so i feel like im just cheating it
ohp - my most satisfying movement cause it's a grinder the whole way
bench - my best movement by relative weight, my pure ego lift, feels like its the most technical lift to me
rows - i love the burn i get from rows in all variations of it
my preference:
bench > ohp > rows > deadlift > squat
what it should be:
squat> deadlift > rows > ohp > bench
>For deadlifts and rows, I always feel like I'm doing them wrong, even when I'm not.
are you me?
You actually pick up the weight in your hands + use more weight
>deadlift
i've hated deadlifts for a while but ever since i stopped ego lifting and instead worried about proper technique, this is the exercise where i can push myself the most. the feeling of working up the weight, then do ONE rep and be absolutely exhausted after is just awesome
>OHP
an overall very comfortable exercise, i feel like im engaging my muscles 100 % and not pushing my joints or anything which is nice. makes it easier to push myself as well.
>Row
awesome back exercise, really like doing this one.
>Bench
having trouble putting on more weight here. generally i feel like dips and cable flyers work my chest better, for me bench is more like a chore
>Squat
literally only doing it because i know that no one will think im serious about working out if i tell them i don't squat. hate it so much
Deadlift > Bench > Squat > OHP > Row
>squat
I’m past caring what folk say, i dl and wallk the dog, that’s enough leg work for me
you can easily drop the weights so it doesn't fill like your life is at stake when you're reaching for a new max
This. No point in having the same thing written twice in a thread.
>OHP
ME BIG BOY
>Dead Lift
BIG NUMBERS
>Squat
I like how it feels like you're using your entire body in tandem to push the weight up.
>Bench
Having to lie down is gay.
>Rows
Having to bend over backwards is double-gay.
squats: love em but trying to up the weight always fills me with dread
deadlift: wanted to like it but i feel a pinch in my lower back whenever i try it. given up on it for now bench: the one i concentrate on improving the most. very moody lift though totally dependent on the day and even the slightest variation in form
overhead press: favorite lift despite close to zero progress
barbell row: hate it. if i never do it again i wouldn't mind it. cable rows ftw.
OHP > Bench > Row > Squat > Deadlift
Are you telling me you can OHP two plates?
Overhead Press>Bench>Deadlift>Barbell Row>Squats
Squats: Feel it in my legs, feel stronk despite atrophied leg from injury and not that high of weight.
Bench: Classic
Deadlift: Tires my entire body out, fear of doing it wrong. Still love it.
Overhead Press: Just tires me out and I don't feel like I get anything from it.
Barbell Row: Least fav, don't even bother with these most of the time. Will do dumbbells or cable machines instead.
