Huge Bench or Huge Dead Lift???

[Pyroman]

What is more impressive???? A huge Bench or a huge Dead Lift....

 

[Horny]

By far a huge deadlift. No competition.

deadlift


flatbench sucks!!!!!!!

to the average once a week in the gym guys, who only show up to do bench press, probably bench press. But as for me I would choose a huge deadlift. with a huge squat coming in second.

DL

Shit, you couldn't find 1 in 10 on the street who knew what a deadlift was. Everyone speaks the language of bench press, so this is better for impressing the laypeople (weenies) of the world.

Dead lift for sure.

More real life situations need lifting then pushing.....
Maybe cause of where i work (in the stockroom of a department store)

Dudes who dead lift have this "look" to them......they look stronger or something.

Nothing impresses me more than a guy that can lift the side of a car. Trust me when I say that it is a very funny sight to see two powerlifters pick up a friend's car and move it to a different spot in the parking lot....the look on the owner's face is priceless...lol

Bench press by far!! The reason all you guys are saying DL is because you all probably have really shitty BP!! Any one can do a 5 or 6 plate DL for a couple

But show me how many people can do a 4 or 5 plate BP... NOT that many!

BP is way more impressive!!

When I see a guy benching 4-5 plates on each side, I am amazed. Im also amazed when I see people pulling 600lbs for a few reps on deads!

so i gotta say that they are equally amazing!

 

[strengthmonster]

Neither, I'd say a huge squat.

 

[Retabolil2]

I think the huge deadlift is impressive

 

[Big Brother Val]

I think the most impressive thing is... BIG ARMS!!!

I'd have to say that it just depends on the person, and how much weight they're doing. Few years ago in school, there was a guy who weighed around 155 who deadlifted over 600, this was impressive, but he only squatted like 225. He was just skinny and tall. I'm not impressed to much with a 375 lb guy who is 5'9" and benches 505.

I have to say i dont agree with gear. I dont see many guy's at the gym deadlifting at all let alone doing 4 or 5 plates on each side. I like them my self it is one of my favorite's. We have 4 benches at my gym and it is a fight to get one. But i like them to, but second to dead's.I would have to say they are both impressive, DL 575 and above and BP 375 and above under 220BW



PAIN IS JUST WEAKNESS LEAVING THE BODY

i don't think it really matters, some of us are better in some areas of lifting and worse in others. I can deadlift with the strongest guys in the gym, i have maxed at 675lbs on deads, but i've never benched over 350lbs! People tell me i look as if i can bench over 400, but right now i probably couldn't do 315 for 3 reps or so. It's all about how you look in my oppinion. I quit doing the heavy ass exercises a while ago. I go now for slow reps, feeling each one deep within the muscle. That's what i think makes me look the best
