Brachialis-SMR
Lie on your side, with your upper arm against the foam roller. The upper arm should be more or less aligned with your body, with the outside of the bicep pressed against the foam roller.
Bradford/Rocky Presses
The Bradford Press, also known as the Rocky Press, is a shoulder strength exercise that combines a standard overhead press with a behind-the-neck press in one fluid motion. It develops shoulder stability, triceps strength, and overhead mobility through a greater range of motion than a standard press.
Cable Hammer Curls - Rope Attachment
Attach a rope attachment to a low pulley and stand facing the machine about 12 inches away from it.
Cable Lying Triceps Extension
The Cable Lying Triceps Extension is an isolation exercise that targets the triceps, particularly the long head, from a stretched position. It builds arm size and strength using constant cable tension, making it effective for muscle hypertrophy and definition.
Cable One Arm Tricep Extension
The Cable One-Arm Tricep Extension is an isolation exercise that targets the triceps brachii muscle on the back of the upper arm. It is performed unilaterally (one arm at a time) using a cable machine, which provides constant tension throughout the range of motion. This exercise is useful for developing arm strength and definition, and for addressing muscular imbalances.
Cable Preacher Curl
The Cable Preacher Curl isolates the biceps by using a preacher bench to lock the upper arm in place and a cable machine to provide constant tension throughout the range of motion. This variation is excellent for building biceps peak and strength.
Cable Rope Overhead Triceps Extension
The Cable Rope Overhead Triceps Extension is an isolation exercise that targets the long head of the triceps through shoulder flexion. It's effective for building triceps mass and improving lockout strength, with the cable providing constant tension throughout the range of motion.
Cable Rope Rear-Delt Rows
Sit in the same position on a low pulley row station as you would if you were doing seated cable rows for the back.
Cable Shoulder Press
Move the cables to the bottom of the towers and select an appropriate weight.
Cable Wrist Curl
The Cable Wrist Curl is an isolation exercise targeting the forearm flexors. It builds grip strength and forearm size using constant cable tension, which is beneficial for sports and improving pulling exercise performance.
Car Deadlift
This event apparatus typically has neutral grip handles, however some have a straight bar that you can approach like a normal deadlift. The apparatus can be loaded with a vehicle or other heavy objects such as tractor tires or kegs.
Car Drivers
Car Drivers is an isolation exercise that targets shoulder stability and rotational strength by simulating turning a steering wheel. It primarily strengthens the rotator cuff muscles and forearms while challenging core stability to resist torso rotation, making it useful for shoulder health and sports involving rotational force.
Chain Handle Extension
You will need two cable handle attachments and a flat bench, as well as chains, for this exercise. Clip the middle of the chains to the handles, and position yourself on the flat bench. Your elbows should be pointing straight up.
Chain Press
Begin by connecting the chains to the cable handle attachments. Position yourself on the flat bench in the same position as for a dumbbell press. Your wrists should be pronated and arms perpendicular to the floor. This will be your starting position.
Chair Upper Body Stretch
Sit on the edge of a chair, gripping the back of it.
Chest Push from 3 point stance
Begin in a three point stance, squatted down with your back flat and one hand on the ground. Place the medicine ball directly in front of you.
Chest Push (multiple response)
Begin in a kneeling position facing a wall or utilize a partner. Hold the ball with both hands tight into the chest.
Chest Push (single response)
Begin in a kneeling position holding the medicine ball with both hands tightly into the chest.
Chest Push with Run Release
Begin in an athletic stance with the knees bent, hips back, and back flat. Hold the medicine ball near your legs. This will be your starting position.
Chin-Up
Grab the pull-up bar with the palms facing your torso and a grip closer than the shoulder width.
Circus Bell
The circus bell is an oversized dumbbell with a thick handle. Begin with the dumbbell between your feet, and grip the handle with both hands.
Clean
With a barbell on the floor close to the shins, take an overhand (or hook) grip just outside the legs. Lower your hips with the weight focused on the heels, back straight, head facing forward, chest up, with your shoulders just in front of the bar. This will be your starting position.
Clean and Jerk
With a barbell on the floor close to the shins, take an overhand or hook grip just outside the legs. Lower your hips with the weight focused on the heels, back straight, head facing forward, chest up, with your shoulders just in front of the bar. This will be your starting position.
Clean and Press
Assume a shoulder-width stance, with knees inside the arms. Now while keeping the back flat, bend at the knees and hips so that you can grab the bar with the arms fully extended and a pronated grip that is slightly wider than shoulder width. Point the elbows out to sides. The bar should be close to the shins. Position the shoulders over or slightly ahead of the bar. Establish a flat back posture. This will be your starting position.
Clean Deadlift
Begin standing with a barbell close to your shins. Your feet should be directly under your hips with your feet turned out slightly. Grip the bar with a double overhand grip or hook grip, about shoulder width apart. Squat down to the bar. Your spine should be in full extension, with a back angle that places your shoulders in front of the bar and your back as vertical as possible.
Clean Pull
With a barbell on the floor close to the shins, take an overhand or hook grip just outside the legs. Lower your hips with the weight focused on the heels, back straight, head facing forward, chest up, with your shoulders just in front of the bar. This will be your starting position.
Clean Shrug
Begin with a shoulder width, double overhand or hook grip, with the bar hanging at the mid thigh position. Your back should be straight and inclined slightly forward.
Clock Push-Up
Move into a prone position on the floor, supporting your weight on your hands and toes.
Close-Grip Barbell Bench Press
Lie back on a flat bench. Using a close grip (around shoulder width), lift the bar from the rack and hold it straight over you with your arms locked. This will be your starting position.
