    Yeah, there's a time limit on how long you can edit your own posts. I believe it's 24 hours.

    OH squats are great but i'm struggling to do them at the moment as my flexibility has taken a turn for the worst! They really work the core too

    overhead lunges aren't so much of a problem for me though

    Have you tried overhead walks? Very evil, especially using dumbbells or kettlebells. Everyone I train with hates them, which is why I love them.

    Guess I'll throw in my vote for 1-arm dumbbell snatches. I missed twice for 90lbs last time but I don't get myself underneath them very well. At least I learned I could get them up, fail and not kill myself or anyone around...

    Also love/hate front squats for the core, OH squats, cleans and snatches if I could get the technique down consistently, and push presses.

    I love deadlifts, 1 armed dumbbell snatches and dumbbell swings. I'm starting to like step ups as a replacement for squats.

    Bench press :love: i just can't help it, also standing military press.

    I'm liking squats but gonna give the 2rep ones a bash soon so that'll probably end :p

    Finally someone said bench press! I was getting worried while I read all the previous posts! For me, nothing beats loading up a bar with a few 45s and pushing till you can't anymore :)

    Personally, i love isolation curls.
    The way my vein pops out when i lift up that 10kg. Nothing like that feeling.
    Well, apart from the feeling of wearing my babyGap tshirt after a good workout. Phwoar

    Deadlift. Nothing beats picking up something heavy and then putting it back down again. Front squats from the bottom come in a close second (Because I move ****-poor weight with them)

    Weighted Dips and Weighted Pullups get my juices going. Especially since after 8 weeks, they put 10cms on my chest and back.

    lol...h3llz y34h!

    Let's see...so much a toss up between push press and zercher squat.

    Can I include caber tossing on the list since it's technically has a lifting portion to it?
