I feel like deadlift is the most important lift to make one a man.
Second lift for beast status is the standing press…right through the spine baby.

Is this where we get to pick our own “two workouts to make you an absolute monster”?
Because I have my picks!
Log viper press
High handle prowler push
Between the two movements, you hit “the everything”, putting a heavy weight over your head from the floor always makes you more awesome, the clean hits a triple extension, the prowler builds your legs AND your lungs, and you come out of the whole thing absolutely fierce.
For bonus: do it Litvinov style, where you hit the log vipers before sprinting away with the prowler.

I’m not sure you can become a monster with just those two, but you could remain fairly monstrous for quite a while if you just did those two. There’s something to be said for loading up your spine.
For my two, I’d choose clean+press and squats.

I get the atlas stones. But when you said hip thrusts, i thought you may be trolling…I have never done hip thrusts in gym.
In bedroom on the other hand, well…that is what a man does

I’d say Squat and any type of standing press. For ease of access I’d choose a regular standing military press, but, if I had the luxury of a log, I would choose that. My last gym had one and I fell in love with it, it’s not a traditional powerlifting accessory but it developed so much more shoulder & upper pec strength. Not to mention the endurance needed. Just felt twice as hard.

I would love a log. I sometimes use a swiss bar to emulate the inefficiency.
And i revolve between low bar with that duffalo and hatfields with the ssb as far as squat. Right now, i have been squatting without pain. I hate to jynx myself, but i may have finally rehabbed the damn knee
I want two bars. A log would be awesome. But i kind of want the monster squat bar, the length would allow me to low bar squat with it woth my shoulder inflexibility.
Shit. I also want a texas deadlift bar…

Of every lift I’ve ever done, I would have to say the one that has the most regular carry over into MY real world would be heavy sandbag shuttles. Run, pick and carry, run back
I do not do them often enough though

Straps or hook?
Reminds me of a quote from an old Navy CO of mine. “The fitness test is stupid, I’m never going to run 1.5 miles on a damn ship. I should have to carry a sailor up a flight of stairs. That’s it. If I can do that, I can handle just about any actual emergency on the ship.”
