Seated Barbell Military Press
Sit on a Military Press Bench with a bar behind your head and either have a spotter give you the bar (better on the rotator cuff this way) or pick it up yourself carefully with a pronated grip (palms facing forward). Tip: Your grip should be wider than shoulder width and it should create a 90-degree angle between the forearm and the upper arm as the barbell goes down.
Seated Barbell Shoulder Press
The Seated Barbell Shoulder Press is a fundamental upper-body strength exercise performed seated with back support. It primarily develops the shoulders and triceps while requiring core and upper-back stability. The seated setup with back support reduces the lower-body and trunk-stabilisation demand compared to the standing Overhead Press, isolating the shoulder press more cleanly. Distinct from the strict standing Overhead Press (no back support, vertical strict press), Seated Barbell Military Press (behind-neck seated variant with wider grip), and Standing Military Press (standing wide-grip variant).
Seated Barbell Twist
Start out by sitting at the end of a flat bench with a barbell placed on top of your thighs. Your feet should be shoulder width apart from each other.
Seated Bent-Over One-Arm Dumbbell Triceps Extension
Sit down at the end of a flat bench with a dumbbell in one arm using a neutral grip (palms of the hand facing you).
Seated Bent-Over Rear Delt Raise
Place a couple of dumbbells looking forward in front of a flat bench.
Seated Bent-Over Two-Arm Dumbbell Triceps Extension
Sit down at the end of a flat bench with a dumbbell in both arms using a neutral grip (palms of the hand facing you).
Seated Biceps
Sit on the floor with your knees bent and your partner standing behind you. Extend your arms straight behind you with your palms facing each other. Your partner will hold your wrists for you. This will be the starting position.
Seated Cable Rows
For this exercise you will need access to a low pulley row machine with a V-bar. Note: The V-bar will enable you to have a neutral grip where the palms of your hands face each other. To get into the starting position, first sit down on the machine and place your feet on the front platform or crossbar provided making sure that your knees are slightly bent and not locked.
Seated Cable Shoulder Press
Adjust the weight to an appropriate amount and be seated, grasping the handles. Your upper arms should be about 90 degrees to the body, with your head and chest up. The elbows should also be bent to about 90 degrees. This will be your starting position.
Seated Calf Raise
Sit on the machine and place your toes on the lower portion of the platform provided with the heels extending off. Choose the toe positioning of your choice (forward, in, or out) as per the beginning of this chapter.
Seated Calf Stretch
Sit up straight on an exercise mat.
Seated Close-Grip Concentration Barbell Curl
Sit down on a flat bench with a barbell or E-Z Bar in front of you in between your legs. Your legs should be spread with the knees bent and the feet on the floor.
Seated Dumbbell Curl

Seated Dumbbell Press
Grab a couple of dumbbells and sit on a military press bench or a utility bench that has a back support on it as you place the dumbbells upright on top of your thighs.
Seated Dumbbell Triceps Extension
Classic seated overhead triceps isolation: sit upright on a bench (with back support if available), hold one dumbbell with both hands by the inner plate, raise it overhead, then lower behind the head by bending only at the elbows, then extend back overhead. The seated setup eliminates the core-stabilisation fatigue cost that the standing variant carries (where the core works hard to prevent backward lean under the load). For hypertrophy programming where the goal is isolated triceps work, the seated variant gives cleaner triceps focus and lower compound fatigue. Distinct from Standing Dumbbell Triceps Extension (standing; recruits core), Cable Rope Overhead Triceps Extension (rope variant; typically standing), Seated Bent-Over Two-Arm Dumbbell Triceps Extension (bent-over kickback-style; different mechanic), and Lying Triceps Extensions / Skull Crushers (lying; different biomechanic).
