    I prefer the bench press because I want the chest development, but if I had to choose only ONE of the two for the rest of my lifting career, it'd be squat because of the overall muscular development for the entire body.

    I don't like squatting cause it takes all the breath out of me. I generally don't have to take a break for my muscles, I have to take a break to not pass out.

    I am not a huge squat fan. I do them, but I enjoy deadlifting and bench pressing better.
