    May I ask why so many would do both squats and deadlifts?

    Honestly I didn't give it that much thought, those are just the lifts I most enjoy. I do see your point about balance though.

    While mine were chosen with great care and scrutiny

    OP, are you wearing a diaper? Or is that supposed to be your Mt Olympus costume?

    No it's a diaper.

    Well it looks smashing, if I do say so.

    hehe I love gifs.

    and thanks, if you're into diapers - I'm sure the internet has something to fulfill that.

    Along with dinosaurs, cartoons and all kinds of other fun things.

    Don't forget the kittehs!

    Squat
    Flat Bench Press
    Deadlift

    (But, if the Gods said that I could include a few more -hey, they have that power, right? :bigsmile: ), then I'd add:

    Pull-up / Chin-ups (pull-up grip is underhand, chin-up, overhand)
    Standing (Military) Press
    The Olympic lifts: Snatch & Clean-&-Jerk
    Sprints (not technically a 'lift,' unless you count 'lifting' your body down the road, but excellent for both strength and endurance)

    Handstand Shoulder Press
    Pull-ups
    Pistol Squats

    and the gods can keep their bits of shiny metal! j/k :wink:

    The big three officially are:
    Squat
    Bench Press
    Deadlift


    I think there really is no question.

    The fourth is Wide grip Pull Up.
