I was joking. Squat has always been my strongest lift, played a lot of football (soccer) when I was young. Pressing movements are my weakest.
I prefer strength training to bodybuilding as I my main activity right now is Brazilian jiu jitsu, for that it's all about the core and you want good strength to weight ratio rather than size. Planning on my first tournament in a few months and want to get in the heavy weight class (84.3kg - 89.3kg), right now I'm usually 90-92kg.
At the moment I'm doing Wendler's 5/3/1, which has a variation for fighters. The gains are slow but steady and I can do the program at the same time as three BJJ sessions a week without getting burned out. I wish I could do 5x5 or starting strength, as I'm a below intermediate level lifter, but I've tried it and it just doesn't work while doing BJJ three times a week, I plateau really quickly.
