I would put squat and deadlift at the same rank personally, just because they are very similar in their impact. Closely following behind them would be a vertical pressing exercise (e.g. barbell overhead press) and a vertical pulling exercise (e.g. chin-ups or pull-ups) because it feels great to decompress the spine after putting so much weight on it.
- sundvor 9y agoI agree, it's hard to split squat and deadlifts in terms of how good they are. Do them both! And yes, overhead press is fantastic - it's a great way of engaging the whole body too. I need to be doing chin ups more, however just a bit too fat to do them in numbers; have just been hanging off the bar to stretch my spine out.
