Squatting is a rush. No better feeling. Unracking it, walking it out, letting the bar settle before you descend into the abyss... I love it because you commit wholeheartedly once you unrack it.

BrotherIron, that is a hell of a way to put it. I can hear the plates rattling.

Just reading that has me ready to run through a brick wall!

"I'm leaving the office early boss." I gotta go do some motherfunking squats!

T bar rows and deadlifts. I used to have a weird obsession with Turkish getups too.

I must be the only one but Military Press and Tbar rows for me. Would have to flip a coin to be able to chose.

I mean, anyone can take a couple of dumbells and press with them or go to a cable machine row and row the rack(I could use the whole rack in high school) but throw some muthafukken plates(plural)(Not just a single 45 on each side like a child)on a barbell and press that shit or row that shit.

Trap bar rows and squats. If you don't shart a bit when working out, you're doing it wrong

This on made me laugh. I get pissed anytime I see someone doing any exercise outside of squats in the rack. It like dude GTFO of there, you aren't qualified to enter the rack.


I know what you mean .. even though I don't do squats anymore ... I felt the same way this week when someone was doing abs in the squat rack so I had to weight to do my curls ...

Reading everyone else's answer I'm really surprised I'm in the minority. I thought I was basic for having bench as my favorite. I guess I still am but wow deadlift is popular.

Really? I’m the first to say Biceps

Who doesn’t love the feeling of a pumped bicep? No other muscle pumps up like a water ballon then biceps.

I wish I could do curls 7x/week

other than squats and deads. I hate legs

Dumbbell Chest Supported Row (if I have to pick one)

I don't know why but I love working my back muscles, even traps and lats.

Wish this thread was favorite for each muscle group.

I'll give high rep (20-50) squats and deads an honorable mention

Too many different favorites to remember over the years.

Now, just a few years short of residency at The Dwindling Days Nursing Home, my shoulders are older than the rest of me ... I was beginning to lose the (comfortable) ability to Squat or Bench. Enter recent purchases of a multi-grip bar for Benching and a SSB for Squatting, and it's like I have 2 old friends back. Those are my 2 current favorites. Ask me in a few more years, and it may be Dips on my walker, but those 2 are it for now .........

Also forgot to mention walking lunges... not with weights or anything. Just bodyweight walking lunges in the 3ft section of the pool for an hour. I liked barbell walking lunges as well but I'm not bringing weights in the pool lol
