Crunch Yes

Leg raise Yes Yes

Back extension Some Yes Yes

Lower body[1]

Quadriceps (front of thigh)

Squat

Hack squat machine

The squat is performed by squatting down with a weight held across

the upper back and standing up straight again. This is a compound

exercise that also involves the glutes (buttocks) and, to a lesser extent,

the hamstrings, calves, and the lower back. Lifting belts are sometimes

used to help support the lower back, as are tight-fitting "squat suits"

which compress the lower torso. The freeweight squat is one of 'The

Big Three' powerlifting exercises, along with the deadlift and the bench

press.[2]

Equipment

Squats can be performed using only the practitioner's body weight. For weighted squats, a barbell is typically

used, although the practitioner may instead hold dumbbells, kettlebells, or other weighted objects. Individuals

uncomfortable performing freeweight squats may use a Smith machine or hack squat machine.

Major variants

Common variations include front squats, in which the weight is held across the upper chest, and box squats, in

which the practitioner rests briefly on a box or bench at the bottom of the movement.

Leg press

Leg press machine

The leg press is performed while seated by pushing a weight away

from the body with the feet. It is a compound exercise that also

involves the glutes and, to a lesser extent, the hamstrings and the

calves. Overloading the machine can result in serious injury if the sled

moves uncontrollably towards the trainer.[3]

Equipment

Leg press machine.

3/13


Deadlift

Dumbbell deadlift.

The deadlift is performed by squatting down and lifting a weight off

the floor with the hand until standing up straight again. Grips can be

face down or opposing with one hand down and one hand up, to

prevent dropping. Face up should not be used because this puts excess

stress on the inner arms. This is a compound exercise that also involvesthe glutes, lower back, lats, trapezius (neck) and, to a lesser extent, the

hamstrings and the calves. Lifting belts are often used to help support

the lower back. The deadlift has two common variants, the Romanian

deadlift and the straight-leg-deadlift. Each target the lower back, glutes

and the hamstrings differently.

Equipment

Dumbbells, barbell, trapbar or Smith machine.

Major variants

Sumo (wider stance to emphasise the inner thighs); stiff legged (emphasizes hamstrings); straight-legged

deadlift (emphasizes lower back).

Leg extension

Leg extension machine.

The leg extension is performed while seated by raising a weight out in

front of the body with the feet. It is an isolation exercise for the

quadriceps. Overtraining can cause patellar tendinitis.[4]

The legs

extension serves to also strengthen the muscles around the knees and is

an exercise that is preferred by physical therapists.

EquipmentDumbbell, cable machine or leg extension machine.

Wall Sit

The wall sit, also known as a static squat, is performed by placing one's

back against a wall with feet shoulder width apart, and lowering the hips until the knees and hips are both at right

angles. The position is held as long as possible. The exercise is used to strengthen the quadriceps.

Contrary to previous advice in this section, this exercise is NOT good for people with knee problems because the

knees bear most of the load, especially when they are held at right angles (90 degrees).

EquipmentBody weight, wall or other flat vertical surface, exercise ball placed behind the back is optional as well.

4/13


Hamstrings (back of legs)

Leg curl

Leg curl machine.

The leg curl is performed while lying face down on a bench, by raising

a weight with the feet towards the buttocks. This is an isolation

exercise for the hamstrings.

[5]

Equipment

Dumbbell, cable machine or leg curl machine.

Major variants

Seated (using a leg curl machine variant); standing (one leg at a

time).

Snatch

The snatch is one of the two current olympic weightlifting events (the other being the clean and jerk). The essence of

the event is to lift a barbell from the platform to locked arms overhead in a smooth continuous movement. Thebarbell is pulled as high as the lifter can manage (typically to mid [ chest] height) (the pull) at which point the barbell

is flipped overhead. With relatively light weights (as in the "power snatch") locking of the arms may not require

rebending the knees. However, as performed in contests, the weight is always heavy enough to demand that the lifter

receive the bar in a squatting position, while at the same time flipping the weight so it moves in an arc directly

overhead to locked arms. When the lifter is secure in this position, he rises (overhead squat), completing the lift.

Calves

Standing calf raise

Dumbbell standing calf raise.

The standing calf raise is performed by plantarflexing the feet to liftthe body. If a weight is used, then it rests upon the shoulders, or is held

in the hand(s). This is an isolation exercise for the calves; it

particularly emphasises the gastrocnemius muscle, and recruits the

soleus muscle.[6]

Equipment

Body weight, dumbbells, barbell, Smith machine or standing calf

raise machine.

Major variants

One leg (the other is held off the ground); donkey calf raise (bentover with a weight or machine pad on the lower back).

5/13


Seated calf raise

Seated calf raise machine

The seated calf raise is performed by flexing the feet to lift a weight

held on the knees. This is an isolation exercise for the calves, and

particularly emphasises the soleus muscle.[7]

Equipment

Barbell or seated calf raise machine; can also be done on a leg

press machine.

Hips

Hip abduction

The hip abduction exercise is performed by opening the legs while sitting, thereby pushing a machine's pads resting

on the outside of the hips apart. This is an isolation exercise for the gluteus muscles of the hip. It is not generally

necessary to exercise the hip abductor muscles in isolation, as they are in use during exercises such as the squat and

lunge.[8]

Equipment

Hip abduction and adduction machine.

Hip adduction

The hip adduction exercise is performed by closing the legs while sitting, thereby pushing a machine's pads resting

on the inside of the hips together. This is an isolation exercise for the adductor muscles of the hip, and is generally

only necessary for people practicing sports that overuse these muscles.[9]

Equipment

Hip abduction and adduction machine.

6/13


Upper body

Pectorals (chest)

Smith machine bench press

The bench press is performed while

lying face up on a bench, by pushing a

weight away from the chest. This is a

compound exercise that also involves the

triceps and the front deltoids, also

recruits the upper and lower back

muscles, and traps. The bench press is the

king of all upper body exercises and is

one of the most popular [ chest] exercises

in the world. It is the final exercise in

'The big 3'.

Equipment: dumbbells, barbell, Smithmachine or bench press machine.

Major variants: incline ~ (more

emphasis on the upper pectorals),

decline ~ (more emphasis on the lower

pectorals), narrow grip ~ (more

emphasis on the triceps), push-up

(face down using the body weight),

neck press (with the bar over the neck,

to isolate the pectorals), vertical dips (using parallel dip bars) or horizontal dips (using two benches with arms

on the near bench and feet on the far bench, and dropping the buttocks to the floor and pushing back up.)

Dumbbell flye

The chest fly is performed while lying face up on a

bench or standing up, with arms outspread holding

weights, by bringing the arms together above the

chest. This is a compound exercise for the pectorals.

Other muscles worked include deltoids, triceps, and

forearms.

Equipment: dumbbells, cable machine or "pec

deck" machine.

Major variants: incline ~ (more emphasis on theupper pectorals), decline ~ (more emphasis on the

lower pectorals), cable crossover.

Cable crossovers

Dips

7/13


Lats (Upper back)

Pulldown machine

The pulldown is performed while seated by pulling

a wide bar down towards the upper [ chest] or

behind the neck. This is a compound exercise that

also involves the biceps, forearms, and the rear

deltoids.

Equipment: cable machine or pulldown machine.

Major variants: chin-up or pullup (using the body

weight while hanging from a high bar), close grip

~ (more emphasis on the lower lats), reverse grip

~ (more emphasis on the biceps).

The Pull-up is performed by hanging from a

chin-up bar above head height with the palms facing

forward (supinated) and pulling the body up so the

chin reaches or passes the bar. The pull-up is a compound exercise that also involves the biceps, forearms, traps,and the rear deltoids. A chin-up (palms facing backwards) places more emphasis on the biceps and a wide grip

pullup places more emphasis on the lats. As beginners of this exercise are often unable to lift their own

bodyweight, a chin-up machine can be used with counterweights to assist them in the lift.

Equipment: chin-up bar or chin-up machine.

Dumbbell bent-over row

The bent-over row is performed while leaning over,

holding a weight hanging down in one hand or both

hands, by pulling it up towards the abdomen. This is

a compound exercise that also involves the biceps,

forearms, traps, and the rear deltoids. The torso is

unsupported in some variants of this exercise, in

which case lifting belts are often used to help

support the lower back.

Equipment: dumbbell, barbell, Smith machine or

T-bar machine.

Major variants: cable row (using a cable machine

while seated).

8/13


Deltoids (shoulders)

Cable machine upright row

The upright row is performed while

standing, holding a weight hanging down

in the hands, by lifting it straight up to

the collarbone. This is a compound

exercise that also involves the trapezius,

upper back, forearms, triceps, and the

biceps. The narrower the grip the more

the trapezius muscles are exercised.

Equipment: dumbbells, barbell, Smith

machine or cable machine.

Shoulder press machine

The shoulder press is performed while seated, or

standing by lowering a weight held above the head

to just above the shoulders, and then raising it again.

It can be performed with both arms, or one arm at a

time. This is a compound exercise that also involves

the trapezius and the triceps.

Major variants: 360 Degree Shoulder Press

(wrists are rotated while weights are lifted, then

weights are lowered in front of the head before

being rotated back to the first position).

The military press is similar to the shoulder press

but is performed while standing with the feet

together. (It is named "military" because of the

similarity in appearance to the "at attention" position used in most militaries) Unlike the seated shoulder press, the

military press involves the majority of the muscles of the core as stabilizers to keep the body rigid and upright,

and is thus a more effective compound exercise.

Equipment: dumbbells, kettlebells, barbell, Smith machine or shoulder press machine.

Major variants: Arnold Press (dumbbells are raised while rotating the palms outwards).

Dumbbell lateral raise

The lateral raise (or shoulder fly) is performed while standing

or seated, with hands hanging down holding weights, by lifting

them out to the sides until just below the level of the shoulders.

A slight variation in the lifts can hit the deltoids even harder,

while moving upwards, just turn the hands slightly downwards,

keeping the last finger higher than the thumb. This is an

isolation exercise for the deltoids. Also works the forearms and

traps.

Equipment: dumbbells, cable machine or lateral raise

machine.

9/13


Major variants: front raise (lift weights out to the front; emphasis is on the front deltoids), bent-over ~

(emphasis is on the rear deltoids), 180 degree lateral raise (weights are held slightly in front of the body and

lifted over the head in a circular motion).

Triceps (back of arms)

Cable machine pushdown

The pushdown is performed while standing by pushing down on

a bar held at the level of the upper chest. It is important to keep

the elbows at shoulder width and in line with shoulder/legs. In

other words, elbows position should not change while moving the

forearm pushes down the bar. This is an isolation exercise for the

triceps.

Equipment: cable machine or pulldown machine.

Lying dumbbell triceps extension

The triceps extension is performed while standing

or seated, by lowering a weight held above the head

(keeping the upper arms motionless), and then

raising it again. It can be performed with both arms,

or one arm at a time. This is an isolation exercise for

the triceps. It is also known as the french curl.

Equipment: dumbbell(s), barbell, cable machine

or triceps extension machine.

Major variants: lying ~ (lying face up with the

weights over the face), kickback (bent over with

the upper arm parallel to the torso).

Biceps (front of arms)

Dumbbell biceps curl on the preacher bench

The Preacher curl is performed while standing or seated, with

hands hanging down holding weights (palms facing forwards),

by curling them up to the shoulders. It can be performed with

both arms, or one arm at a time.

Standing barbell curl

Alternating rotating dumbbell curl

Hammer curl

The Zottmann curl gives a stronger focus to forearm training

compared to the traditional curl.

Waist

Abdominals

Crunch

Crunch

Main article Abdominal exercise

The crunch is performed while lying

face up on the floor with knees bent, bycurling the shoulders up towards the

pelvis. This is an isolation exercise for

the abdominals.

Equipment: body weight, dumbbell or

crunch machine.

Major variants: reverse ~ (curling the

pelvis towards the shoulders), twisting

~ or side ~ (lifting one shoulder at a

time; emphasis is on the obliques),

cable ~ (pulling down on a cable

machine while kneeling), sit-up ~

(have [ chest] touch your knees),

vertical crunch (propping up to dangle

legs and pulling knees to the [ chest]

or keeping legs straight and pulling up

legs to a 90 degree position). Reverse

hanging crunch (using gravity boots or

slings to hang head down and pulling

to a 90 or 180 degree form)

11/13


Seated leg raise

The leg raise is performed while

sitting on a bench or flat on the

floor by raising the knees towards

the shoulders, or legs to a vertical

upright position. This is a

compound exercise that alsoinvolves the hip flexors.

Equipment: body weight or

dumbbell.

Major variants: hanging ~

(hanging from a high bar), side ~

(lying on side), knee raise (lying

on back, drawing knees to chest).

Lower back

Back extension

Back extension on a Roman chair

The back extension is performed while lying face down partway along

a flat or angled bench, so that the hips are supported and the heels

secured, by bending down at the waist and then straightening up again.

This is a compound exercise that also involves the glutes.

Equipment

Body weight, dumbbell or back extension machine.

Major variants

Without bench (lying face down on the floor).

Deadlift

The deadlift is a very effective compound exercise for strengthening the lower back, but also exercises many other

major muscle groups, including quads, hamstrings and abdominals. It is a challenging exercise, as poor form or

execution can cause serious injury.[10]

A deadlift is performed by grasping a dead weight on the floor and, while keeping the back very straight, standing up

by contracting the erector spinae (primary lower back muscle). When performed correctly the role of the arms in the

deadlift is only that of cables attaching the weight to the body; the musculature of the arms should not be used to lift

the weight. There is no movement more basic to everyday life than picking a dead weight up off of the floor, and for

this reason focusing on improving one's deadlift will help prevent back injuries.

Good-morning

The Good-morning is a weight training exercise in which a barbell, two dumbbells, or no weight at all is held on the

shoulders, behind the head. The person bends forward and bows at the hips and recovers to upright. The

good-morning is so called because the movement resembles bowing to greet someone. It involves the hamstrings but

is primarily used to strengthen the lower back; the degree of knee bend used will change the focus nearly

straight-legged involving the hamstrings most.
