de (preposition)
Links the noun 'ejercicio' with the type of exercise, here 'pesas' (weights).
gustar construction

✕Common Mistakes
Que ejercicio de pesas te gusta mas
Missing accent on 'Qué' and 'más' changes the meaning; the accents are required for the interrogative and comparative forms.
¿Qué ejercicios de pesas te gustan más?
Using 'gusta' with a plural noun (e.g., 'los ejercicios') is incorrect; the verb must agree with the singular infinitive phrase.
¿Qué ejercicio con pesas te gusta más?
Replacing 'de' with 'con' is acceptable but changes the register; beginners often overuse 'con' which can sound overly formal.

Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries the word 'pesas' is used colloquially for any dumbbell or barbell work, while 'levantamiento de pesas' often refers to competitive weightlifting. When speaking informally at the gym, people usually say '¿Qué ejercicio de pesas…?' rather than the more formal '¿Qué ejercicio con pesas…?'. Also remember that the verb 'gustar' stays singular (gusta) even if the liked activity involves multiple movements.
