Start the exercise the same way you would a close grip bench press. You will lie on a flat bench while holding a barbell at arms length (fully extended) with the elbows in. However, instead of having the arms perpendicular to the torso, make sure the bar is set in a direct line above the upper chest. This will be your starting position.

Jogging, Treadmill

To begin, step onto the treadmill and select the desired option from the menu. Most treadmills have a manual setting, or you can select a program to run. Typically, you can enter your age and weight to estimate the amount of calories burned during exercise. Elevation can be adjusted to change the intensity of the workout.

Jump Rope

Jump to Rotation

A combined plyometric jump with mid-air rotation, landing in a rotated position. Trains simultaneous vertical force production and rotational power — distinct from any pure-jump (no rotation) or pure-rotation drill (no vertical force).

Bodyweight
Intermediate

KB Complex: Swing-Clean-Press

A three-movement kettlebell complex performed back-to-back without putting the bell down: one swing (hinge-driven pendulum), one clean (pull to rack), one press (rack to overhead). High conditioning demand because the grip stays loaded throughout. Each rep cycles through hinge-power, pull, and overhead push.

Kettlebell
Keg Load

Kettlebell
Intermediate

Kettlebell Clean & Press

A two-phase kettlebell compound: a clean (hip-driven pull from floor or hang to rack position), then a strict press overhead from rack. Trains posterior-chain power into shoulder-stable overhead lockout. Distinct from One-Arm Kettlebell Clean and Jerk (jerk uses leg drive at the top), Two-Arm Kettlebell Military Press (press only, no clean), and Kettlebell Hang Clean (clean only, no press).

Kettlebell Deadlift

A two-handed kettlebell sumo-style deadlift. Athlete stands over the bell with feet wider than shoulder-width, grips the handle with both hands, and hinges to lift the bell to standing. Trains posterior-chain hinge mechanics with a lower load profile than a barbell deadlift, useful as a hinge-pattern primer for the kettlebell swing. Distinct from Barbell Sumo Deadlift (barbell is rigid + more loadable, different stance angle), Kettlebell One-Legged Deadlift (single-leg variant), and Kettlebell Sumo High Pull (continues into a high-pull at the top).

Kettlebell Floor Press

A two-arm kettlebell press performed lying on the floor. The athlete lies on the back with two kettlebells held at the shoulders in rack position, then presses both bells straight up to lockout. Reduced range compared to a bench press because the elbows hit the floor at the bottom — useful for protecting the shoulders while loading the press pattern, and natural for kettlebells because of the rack-to-overhead path. Distinct from One-Arm Kettlebell Floor Press (single-arm variant — anti-rotation demand), Alternating Floor Press (alternates arms), and Dumbbell Floor Press (different implement, palms-facing-each-other grip).

Kettlebell
Beginner

Kettlebell Halo

A shoulder-mobility / conditioning drill where the athlete circles a kettlebell around the head close to the body, alternating directions. Trains thoracic rotation, shoulder mobility under load, and grip endurance. Often used as a warm-up or mobility piece in kettlebell sessions. Distinct from Kettlebell Windmill (lateral-flexion lift, not a circle around the head) and from Kettlebell Figure 8 (between-the-legs pass).

Kettlebell Lunge

A loaded reverse / walking lunge with a kettlebell held in one hand at the side (suitcase carry) or in the rack position. Trains single-leg strength + asymmetric trunk stability under load. Distinct from Bodyweight Walking Lunge (no load), Lunge Pass Through (specific KB drill that passes the bell under the lunged leg), and Bulgarian Split Squat (rear foot elevated, different mechanics).
