Good question...I would say any of the big three since they all require hard work to some extent.

I'd be impressed with a good squat out of three the msot since it requires the most amount of work; most people don't even know how to squat properly much less squat big numbers with good form.

#2 with a good bench since I'm not very good at it myself ;)

a hot babe with a nice butt doing stiff legged deadlifts gets my vote :-*

unfortunately, the bench press is the most respected b/c most gym goers are idiots....for true iron bros. I would go with an impressive SQUAT! ;)..

squats with good form.  followed by bench and then deadlifts. the reason i say this is because take a look around the gym its no real big thing to see someone deadlift 315 x10. 315 on the bench for ten is much harder for most people than squating but the energy required on a big set of squats is much more demanding.

today while i was stretching i saw a kid put 185 on and do like quarter squats and was looking like he was really working. i wanted to imagine what would happen if he stepped of the rack and did a real deep squat.

reverse forearm curls...actually, ill say squats. Everybody in the gym benches, most people deadlift, very few squat (at least with decent weight and good form)

Epic lurching your shoulders forward to flare your lats.  Relaxed poses are more impressive

Squats to a box or a parallel good morning with the safety squat bar.

I tried some sit down bench squats awhile back.......awkward.


I think deads is the most impressive because there is no "wind up" for the muscles.

Epic lurching your shoulders forward to flare your lats.  not realizing there are more muscles in your back than lats.  Relaxed poses are more impressive

deads.   pullin' the weight without momemtum=pure strength.
you see alot more people squatting than dead lifting.  there's a reason for that.
