What's your favorite weightlifting regiment? In other words, what movement do you think has provided you with the most noticeable improvement to your body. I hated weighted plank rows when I first started but now I love them. I've gotten lots of good shoulder definition that I didn't have before. It is now my favorite. My least favorite.....bench presses. I see very little, if any benefit from doing those.

One day they can be my best friend and I feel insanely awesome doing them. The very next time I do them they can be my own little personal walk through hell.0 -
The most visible improvement? Hard to say. In terms of strength, stability, etc., it's a close race between front squats and Turkish get-ups.
My favorite lift in terms of actually performing it is the front squat.
My least favorite ... any single-leg lift. I hate Bulgarian split squats, lunges, step-ups, and single-leg deadlifts equally.0 -
Overhead pressing is my favorite.0

I feel a nagging at my rotator cuff whenever I do overhead or military presses. Maybe my technique is off.0

Depending on my mood, Dips or Pull ups for favorite,

I love skull crushers, dumbbell renegade rows and sumo squats.
Least favorite (but I still do them) are lateral raises. The movement feels so unnatural to me, but I love the way it makes my delts look.0 -
I love squats and KB clean & press and KB rows (love rows!!)
I hate burpees but I do them.
I hate turkish get ups but only becasue I'm still not strong enough to do them cleanly. But I'll get there because they look really cool.0 -
I love sumo squats and overhead presses. As a whole program, Chalean Extreme is my true love. It goes super slow and I see such great results. I hate anything that works my outer thighs, but I love it too. I'm not sure if that counts as weight lifting, but I figured ankle weights still count. There's a workout from the Brazil Butt Lift program called High and Tight. It uses ankle bands and ankle weights and while I am crying by the end of the workout, I love feeling the burn. I'm actually doing a hybrid that includes both of those programs right now, so I get to do all those workouts regularly right now. Fun stuff!0
