Bench press for me. Not surprisingly, it's almost my most impressive lift.

I dread squats the most. **** those ****ers.. But I don't feel more accomplished after completing a workout than after an epic squat session.

My trainer is going over dead lifts with me tonight.

I admit that I actually really like barbell squats.

For pushing myself, I love the row machine. I'm constantly trying to set new personal records.

For a challenge, I'm still trying to get better at wall balls.

My absolute favorite (that I've learned so far anyway) would have to be the skull crusher/close grip bench press superset. I'm very light on weight, of course, but I always feel so accomplished when I finish. A very close second is probably the leg press.

What is your favorite exercise/lift to do at the gym?

Decline bench, because it makes me feel strong.

Yep. It works your entire chest better than any other exercise.

I actually drive to a gym farther away twice a week because the gym closest to me doesn't have a decline bench (with barbells).

WTF?

This is my favorite.... http://dq8nlzk56ayth.cloudfront.net/...r_620x4452.jpg

Throw 2 x 45's and 3 x 10's on and 100 reps in as few sets as possible. Feel like a god while lifting.

Does that work different muscles than the flat bench?

NP. Just hits the pec at a different angle.

I love rows to since I've a fan of working my back. I just added a seated Hammer Strength Row machine to my gym and it's like heaven.

I also used to use some heavy ass dumbells with hooks for shrugs or the hex bar and recently switched over to shrugs with a barbell above my head. Holy Shit. I was sore for 2 weeks from doing those bad boys. It just hit in a way normal shrugs couldn't.

Squats/Deads for me. I've grown to love pulling Sumo over the past few years.

They have a standalone for DB work, but no barbell decline bench. Sucks.
