Kneeling Cable Triceps Extension

Kneeling Rotational Throw
A half-kneeling rotational throw that eliminates lower-body involvement, isolating thoracic and core rotation. Helps isolate trunk rotation by reducing the contribution of leg drive. Distinct from any standing rotational throw.
Kneeling Squat
Set the bar to the proper height in a power rack. Kneel behind the bar; it may be beneficial to put a mat down to pad your knees. Slide under the bar, racking it across the back of your shoulders. Your shoulder blades should be retracted and the bar tight across your back. Unrack the weight.
Landmine Linear Jammer
Position a bar into landmine or, lacking one, securely anchor it in a corner. Load the bar to an appropriate weight and position the handle attachment on the bar.
Landmine Press
A standing or half-kneeling pressing movement using a barbell anchored in a landmine attachment. The arc travels diagonally from shoulder to overhead — easier on the shoulders than a strict overhead barbell press, with built-in core anti-extension demand. Distinct from Landmine 180s (horizontal rotation) and Landmine Linear Jammer (horizontal jammer push).
Leg-Over Floor Press
Lie on the floor with one kettlebell in place on your chest, holding it by the handle. Extend leg on working side over leg on non-working side.Your free arm can be extended out to your side for support.

Stand with your torso upright holding a kettlebell in your right hand. This will be your starting position.
Lunge Sprint

Lie face down with your whole body straight on a flat bench while holding a weight plate behind your head.

This will be your starting position.

Your upper body should be positioned in a way that the upper chest is over the end of the bench and the barbell is hanging in front of you with the arms extended and perpendicular to the floor. This will be your starting position.
