Maybe seated cable rows – just feels good and tend to see quick results from them after having some time off.

Seated Dumbbell Shoulder Press, especially during my working sets with triple-digit DB weight and I can imagine juggling HBBs and/or breaking the Batman a la Bane

Next thing I know I'm reciting bad pickup lines in my Bane voice and getting even more stares at the gym and shit is SO cash
Have fun and be yourself :-)

That's not an easy question for me to answer. So many exercises I love doing. All the suggestions already listed could apply to me.

Probably overhead press. I'm no good at it, but it's fun lifting weights over your head.

"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

Probably back squats (high bar). Not like they're that useful for me or that I've ever been a great squatter as far as weight goes, but I like the movement. Lot to think while still being a movement you can muscle out (i.e. not one of the Olympic lifts). You move a lot of weight, but it's not as braindead or as short as a deadlift. Can be a pretty long movement with a lot of ROM. And having so much weight resting on your shoulders is good symbology.

If I were actively gymming, my answer would probably vary by how things are going, but I think squats are the most fun in a vacuum.
