What is the best lift?
In my opinion, it's the overhead press. It's so satisfying.
The over head press movement ends with arms extended overhead. This position mimics an instinctual power position. Check it [4:20]:

No other lift makes me feel so prideful, so powerful, so victorious. Supposedly, holding that position increases endogenous testosterone production...
Anyways I love the overhead press so much:

What do you do to get flexible enough to press properly? I get very little trap engagement because I lock out with the weight over my chest rather than behind my head. I don't know how people move the bar that far back at the top of the lift.
Clean and Jerk. Nothing beats the rush when you lock out the second lift
move head forward
They don't move the bar back, they move the head forward
It hurts my forearms and wrists too much (on the side of my thumb)
Used to have enough strength to ohp 1pl8 but since It hurt me once I always comes back and I'm stuck at half a pl8

You don't have the bar in the correct position

Try having the bar rest in the fleshy part of your palm...Directly in line with your wrist.

Deadlift. The bar is on the floor and you gotta pick it up. You either can or can't, can't cheat or half rep.
