Say lifting is a chess game, is Squatting the King? Deadlifting the Queen? What about the other lifts and pieces?

Yes, the deadlift is the queen because it is extremely translatable and useful. Meanwhile, the sq*aT is the king because it’s useless and makes you lose.

Bench is the queen.
Many people know what it is.
Know what it does.
Know that it can go anywhere on the board.
So all the retards gravitate to bench, and in essence, using the queen to try and win the game.
But they do not understand the potential of the queen, other than simply roaming the board.
The true pieces are the Knight and rooks.

>The stress of chess players as a model to study the effects of psychological stimuli on physiological responses: an example of substrate oxidation and heart rate variability in man.
>We have studied the physiological consequences of the tension caused by playing chess in 20 male chess players, by following heart rate, heart rate variability, and respiratory variables. We observed significant increase in the heart rate (75-86 beats/min), in the ratio low frequency (LF)/high frequency (HF) of heart rate variability (1.3-3.0) and also a decrease in mean heart rate variability with no changes in HF throughout the game. These results suggest a stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system with no changes in the parasympathetic system. The respiratory exchange ratio was rather elevated (over 0.89) at the start and significantly decreased during the game (0.75 at the end), indicating that energy expenditure progressively switched from carbohydrate to lipid oxidation. The changes in substrate oxidation and the sympathetic system seem to be due to high cognitive demands and bring new insight into adaptations to mental strain.

That's got to be the most stupid analogy I've ever heard. Lifting isn't a game it's a lifestyle.
Liam Diaz
Dumb analogy but fuckit
Bench is queen
Deadlift is king
Rooks are rows
Bishops are pull-ups
Knights are squats
Pawns are isolations
Grayson Wood
How would you rate the importance of Bishop over Knight?
Personally I like the center board control with Knights more so I would consider those to be Pull up tier.
Charles Collins

>deads would be king and pushups wod be pawns
Austin Jenkins
Burpees are knights becaue theyre awkward at first but get shit done and break the assumed laws of movement
Colton Ortiz
bench = queen
dl = king
press = bishop
squats = rook
power cleans/oly lifts = knights
accessories = pawns
Ian Harris
Only because not only will noone agree on:
Bench, squat, ohp, row, dead, bodyweight, cardio, isolation priority...
We also won't agree on king, queen, Bishop, rook, pawn priority...
King Bench - sexy, powerful, pointless
Queen Squat - useful, flexible, utility
Rook Deadlift - lots use em, few do it right.
Bishop OHO - Few do it, less understand the value.
Pawn, row, non-negotiable

Lifting isn't a chess game

Deadlift aint shit.

curl: king
curl: queen
curl: bishop
curl: rook
curl:knight
squat or anything on the smith machine: pawn
Michael Thompson
Bishop is worth like 3.15 or 3.2 pawns whereas a knight is worth 3 pawns
You'll never really notice the manifestation of the .15 pawn advantage in a game though, the discrepancy comes from the bishop being strictly better in more frequent game positions as compared to positions where the knight is strictly better.
Jeremiah Gomez
you obviously don't understand chess. The king is the only piece that cannot be sacrificed or put in harms way for more than a turn. The king therefore is more relatable to your overall health rather than a movement or exercise. You cant sacrifice your health for any gain. Every other piece could equate to an exercise you choose with the queen, rook, bishop, knight, pawn being the order of point value after that. Take note, the queen is worth 10, and the rooks are worth 5 each.
