    Front Squats! Deadlift is a close second...

    I also like bench pressing, but I'm not going to do that until I can do some legit push-ups.

    I'm a newbie to lifting and strength training, but I'm loving squats.

    I also love how planks make me feel, that deep soreness, but I hate doing them.

    I've just discovered that I love running, slow running, but I love it.

    You owe me a cup of coffee.... My sinuses now hate me. :P

    Mine are most decidedly squats and bench press.

    favourite lifts: squat, deadlift, bench, pendlay row (sorry OHP nothing personal :laugh: )

    favourite cardio: skating; hiking/hill walking (or any walking for that matter but fast walking is more fun than ambling along); stair running/walking (up and down 2 at a time)

    favourite sports: ice hockey, martial arts (haven't done either of these for ages though, but want to start up again)

    I don't think I have a favourite isolation lift.
