Just for fun & curiosity, what are your 3-5 top favorite lifts in this program? And your 3-5 least favorites?
*Please say what stage you're in too. Because favorites/least favorites might change over time. :happy:

my favorites are:
1. Squats (all variations, even 1-arm overhead)
2. Lat pulldowns (wide grip & underhand)
3. Swiss-ball side crunch
4. Pushups (even though I can't do more than 1 on the floor yet - 1 is more than I could do a year ago!)
5. Snatches (cuban & 1-arm)
My least-favorites are:
1. Reverse woodchops
2. Push Press (with or without front squat)
3. Planks (even though I kind of miss them)

i'm at the end of stage 1
favorites: squats, shoulder presses, seated row
least favs: lunges, step ups (though i'm starting to like them), and swiss ball crunches (they're boring).0 -
oh i forgot my least fave...lol..
agree with the swiss ball crunches, boring..no matter how much extra weight i hold i just dont feel pushed..
also shoulder press as thats my real weak spot...so not a big fan, but im getting better, so im hoping to enjoy them soon lol....0 -
Stage 3 (just finished last A workout...one more B and I am on to Stage 4
I *heart* these because they make me feel super strong and I get excited to push myself more and more...
-dead lifts (up to 175lbs)
-squats (up to 165lbs consistently)
-static lunges (85lbs BB)
-push-ups (T style 10lbs)

4. Lat pulldown

1. Lunges, I hate all lunges. They just feel tedious.
2. Lateral Flexion, I find I get pretty bored laying there. I can do the first one only, the leg one. If I lift my side up like that it hurts my back.0 -

Favorites:
1. Back Squat
2. Deadlift
3. Dumbbell one-point row

Least favorite:
1. Lateral flexion (skipped them after stage 2 and did side bends or oblique crunches with straight legs instead)
2. Prone cobra (BORING!)
3. YTWL (I don't like using the same weight for each move; I'm stronger on W and L's)
4. Front squat/push press (never sure if my form is correct)
5. Incline reverse crunch (feel it more in my arms than my abs)0 -
