A complex full-body exercise. Holding the bar overhead increases core demand and challenges shoulder stability while targeting the legs.
View more
A foundational unilateral exercise for the lower body. It targets the quads and glutes while building balance and hip stability.
View more
A horizontal pull that removes lower back strain. It targets the lats and rhomboids, allowing for a strict pulling motion and peak contraction.
View more
A squat variation that emphasizes the vastus lateralis (outer quads). The narrow stance increases the demand on balance and quad isolation.
View more
An old-school compound movement that challenges rotational stability and targets the quads, glutes, and adductors from a unique asymmetrical angle.
View more
A plyometric exercise for explosive lower-body power. It improves vertical leap and fast-twitch fiber recruitment in the quads and glutes.
View more
A chest isolation press that targets the upper pectorals. By lowering the bar to the neck, it maximizes the stretch on the clavicular head.
View more
A quad-dominant deadlift variation performed with the bar behind the legs. It isolates the quadriceps and reduces stress on the lower back.
View more
The ultimate lower-body builder. Performing the squat through a full range of motion maximizes glute and quad recruitment while building functional mobility.
View more
Targets the lower pectorals and allows for heavy loading. The decline angle reduces shoulder strain while maximizing chest recruitment.
View more
A bicep isolation exercise that minimizes shoulder involvement by keeping the bar in contact with the body. It targets the outer head of the biceps.
View more
A variation of the front squat that emphasizes quadriceps and core stability. Holding the bar across the chest forces a more vertical spine position.
