I do not have one movement I have two. The dead lift, there is nothing like lifting such a large weight (even though I am not lifting that much yet). The powerclean, the explosive power required is inspiring to watch but is surprisingly hard to perfect.
All I need to do now is find someone to teach me the Olympic lifts and I will be happy.

Toasted, where in Brisbane are you situated? I can put you in contact with some people possibly.
im with nick on this. Oly lifts take ages to learn. i been doing them for about a year now and i got heaps to improve on technique still. you'll have to elarn to front squat, shrug and hang clean all different movements then combine them into the one. when u get them they are actually quite fun and as your technique gets better u can move more weight around.

I really love sparring.
I'm smart enough now and I've been in enough street fights to want to avoid violence whenever possible but it's still alot of fun to skill my skills against an opponent.
I also enjoy stance training. The burn you get from holding something like Horse Stance is unlike anything I've ever felt, I can hardly believe that some people can do this for over an hour but Ive seen it it it impresses the hell out of me.
It makes for some strong legs though. Try pushing this guy around and see how far you get....

For me there is no contest, it is bench, but I can truely appreciate the comments about deads and squats the heavy weights obtainable is awsome.
But bench, its just you pinned on your back with a heavy ass weight on your chest and arms. you can feel it push your shoulders into the bench it is right there in front of you, you are staring at it, it is in your face! it feels so much more personal than the other lifts. You either push it up or you get squashed, maybe not at 40, 60 80kg but when you are over 100kg and you can feel the bar flex as you take the weight it is awsome, daunting, exciting, and then to push it up, to do a pb..
Bliss, it puts you on a high for the entire session.

Sometimes the fear factor is the drive itself! Perhaps that's what does it for some whilst lying beneath a heavy laden bar. Thanks for that input trofius.

yes fadi fear does play a part, I am scared of falling over doing squats, or stuffing my back doing heavy deads, but it is different, maybe because i am not as confident with those two powerfull lifts, as with bench.
For me and bench it is like personal, I know I am pretty good at it for my size, and that feels enpowering in its self.
But it is like I am competing with the bar rather than myself I look up at it and think its you or me, you lift it off the stays, feel the weight, feel the bar push you down.
As you lower the bar you feel its weight much more than the push stage, its heavy so you have to be controled or it hits you hard, i like to lower slow, let it touch my chest, I feel my body lock up, and pause then drive it as hard as i can, this does not allways look impressive speed wise, but seeing, and feeling myself pushing 110 or more kg away from me, beating the bar and gravity, is awsome. If it gets stuck or slows, you can look at your arms, or the bar and mentally focus on that bit, or just get angry, and on several occasions i have grunted under my breath,....
GEt the F*^k Up there.....
