Reverse Lunge
A stationary lunge variant where the trailing leg steps backward, then returns to start before alternating. The reverse direction loads the front leg more than walking lunges (which split load across both stride phases) — a strong unilateral strength builder with less stress on the front knee than forward lunges.
Reverse Machine Flyes
Adjust the handles so that they are fully to the rear. Make an appropriate weight selection and adjust the seat height so the handles are at shoulder level. Grasp the handles with your hands facing inwards. This will be your starting position.
Reverse Plate Curls
Start by standing straight with a weighted plate held by both hands and arms fully extended. Use a pronated grip (palms facing down) and make sure your fingers grab the rough side of the plate while your thumb grabs the smooth side. Note: For the best results, grab the weighted plate at an 11:00 and 1:00 o'clock position.
Reverse Triceps Bench Press
Lie back on a flat bench. Using a close, supinated grip (around shoulder width), lift the bar from the rack and hold it straight over you with your arms locked extended in front of you and perpendicular to the floor. This will be your starting position.
Rhomboids-SMR
Lay down with your back on the floor. Place a foam roll underneath your upper back, and cross your arms in front of you, protracting your shoulders. This will be your starting position.
Rickshaw Carry
Position the frame at the starting point, and load with the appropriate weight. Standing in the center of the frame, begin by gripping the handles and driving through your heels to lift the frame. Ensure your chest and head are up and your back is straight.
Rickshaw Deadlift
Load the frame with the desired weight. Center yourself between the handles. You feet should be about hip width apart. Bend at the hips to grip the handles, allowing your shoulder blades to protract.
Ring Dips
Grip a ring in each hand, and then take a small jump to help you get into the starting position with your arms locked out.
Rocket Jump
Begin in a relaxed stance with your feet shoulder width apart and hold your arms close to the body.
Rocking Standing Calf Raise
This exercise is best performed inside a squat rack for safety purposes. To begin, first set the bar on a rack that best matches your height. Once the correct height is chosen and the bar is loaded, step under the bar and place it on the back of your shoulders (slightly below the neck).
Rocky Pull-Ups/Pulldowns
Grab the pull-up bar with the palms facing forward using a wide grip.
Romanian Deadlift
Put a barbell in front of you on the ground and grab it using a pronated (palms facing down) grip that a little wider than shoulder width. Tip: Depending on the weight used, you may need wrist wraps to perform the exercise and also a raised platform in order to allow for better range of motion.
Romanian Deadlift from Deficit
Begin standing while holding a bar at arm's length in front of you. You can stand on a raised platform to increase the range of motion.
Rope Climb
Grab the rope with both hands above your head. Pull down on the rope as you take a small jump.
Rope Crunch
Kneel 1-2 feet in front of a cable system with a rope attached.
Rope Jumping
Hold an end of the rope in each hand. Position the rope behind you on the ground. Raise your arms up and turn the rope over your head bringing it down in front of you. When it reaches the ground, jump over it. Find a good turning pace that can be maintained. Different speeds and techniques can be used to introduce variation.
Rope Straight-Arm Pulldown
Attach a rope to a high pulley and make your weight selection. Stand a couple feet back from the pulley with your feet staggered and take the rope with both hands. Lean forward from the hip, keeping your back straight, with your arms extended up in front of you. This will be your starting position.
Rotational Medicine Ball Scoop Toss
A standing rotational drive followed by a low-to-high scooping release — the ball is launched forward and upward, mimicking the upward release angle of an aggressive driver swing. Distinct from Medicine Ball Scoop Throw (vertical, shoulder-led scoop without rotation) and rotational throws with horizontal release.
Round The World Shoulder Stretch
Stand up straight with your legs together, holding a bodybar or broomstick.
Rowing Machine
Low-impact full-body cardio that warms the posterior chain, legs, and grip. Ideal pre-workout for pull and leg days.
Rowing, Stationary
To begin, seat yourself on the rower. Make sure that your heels are resting comfortably against the base of the foot pedals and that the straps are secured. Select the program that you wish to use, if applicable. Sit up straight and bend forward at the hips.
Runner's Stretch
It's easiest to get into this stretch if you start standing up, put one leg behind you, and slowly lower your torso down to the floor.
Running, 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.
Russian Twist
Rotational core exercise in V-sit position.
Sandbag Load
To load sandbags or other objects, begin with the implements placed a distance from the loading platform, typically 50 feet.
Scapular Pull-Up
Take a pronated grip on a pull-up bar.
Scapular Push-Up
Serratus anterior activation. Teaches scapular control that stabilizes the shoulder during all pressing movements.
Scissor Kick
To begin, lie down with your back pressed against the floor or on an exercise mat (optional). Your arms should be fully extended to the sides with your palms facing down. Note: The arms should be stationary the entire time.
Scissors Jump
Assume a lunge stance position with one foot forward with the knee bent, and the rear knee nearly touching the ground.
Seated Band Hamstring Curl
Secure a band close to the ground and place a bench a couple feet away from it.
