What's your favorite body part to train?

Just curious as to what body part you guys love to train the most? It's varied for me over the years from chest, to biceps....etc.

Right now I'd say that shoulder night is my favorite workout night. Thats really kinda funny because I used to HATE training my delts. I especially hated BB military presses, back in the day. But that very exercise has now become one of my favorites to do.

Plus I love it when I'm finished with my delt/trap workout and it feels like I have two cannonballs on top of my arms

Incidentally my LEAST favorite workout night is leg night. I have bad knees from wrestling when I was younger and I had a SERIOUS ankle fracture a couple years ago that really did a number on my left ankle. I've had 3 surgeries on it trying to get it back to being in good shape and I am most likely going to have to have another one maybe next year. So all that being said.....you can kind of see why it's a little hard for me to get motivated on leg night, lol. I still work them as hard as I can......nobody wants a big upper body and chicken legs.....it just takes a lot more motivation to get in the gym on that night!

I decided I no longer like training any part of my body. I think it is just a phase but... the least favorite is probably chest. I enjoy working my calves, I guess.

My favorite now a days is shoulders. I used to HATE doing them reason being now that I look back at it is because I used to be so weak in the shoulder dept. Ha Ha my least favorite BY FAR is abs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can look at it two ways...

my least favorite to train as far as while i am in the middle of a set is legs... but there is nothing better than pumped legs after the workout.. or the relief of racking the bar after heavy squats and feeling the burn..

but my favorite day during and after the sets is what i like to call my "ego day".. which is bi's and tri's... the pump in my arms at the end of the workout is pretty incredible and makes me forget about everything else..

Used to be legs, but no more hardcore training for me in that dept. Now it is back; there is nothing better than having the feeling that your back is a mile wide.

I went with back, as deads are by far my favorite exercise!! I hate looking forward to leg day, but if I manage to work up the intensity enough to get a good wo, I do feel the best AFTER legs! That full body, total exhaustion thing that lasts several hours!

For me, it has to be quads. I used to dread leg day, but now it has changed. Due to a recent routine change, I noticed my quads got bigger. So now I look forward to the crazy pumps on my quads that make me "limp out of the gym". 2nd second part are my biceps, crazy pumps, "it's better than cumin". LOL

Gotta say legs. I used to dread leg day, but now I really look forward to it. I usually start with 6 set of squats, 4 sets of box squats, then go the leg press and machines. I walk funny for at least two days afterwards.

Hamstrings. There is no better feeling than bending my leg and feeling like a bicep is popping out of the back of it.
