Bent Over Two-Arm Long Bar Row

Bent Over Two-Dumbbell Row With Palms In

With a dumbbell in each hand (palms facing each other), bend your knees slightly and bring your torso forward, by bending at the waist, while keeping the back straight until it is almost parallel to the floor. Tip: Make sure that you keep the head up. The weights should hang directly in front of you as your arms hang perpendicular to the floor and your torso. This is your starting position.

Body-Up

Body-Up

The Body-Up is an intermediate bodyweight exercise that transitions from a forearm plank to a high plank position. It primarily develops triceps and shoulder strength while demanding significant core stability to maintain a rigid torso throughout the movement.

Bodyweight Calf Raise

A bodyweight calf isolation exercise that builds gastrocnemius and soleus endurance and tendon resilience. Critical for runners — calves and Achilles absorb each foot strike, and tendinopathy is one of the most common late-cycle running injuries.

Bodyweight Flyes

Position two equally loaded EZ bars on the ground next to each other. Ensure they are able to roll.

Bodyweight Hip Thrust

A bench-supported bodyweight hip-extension exercise that targets the glutes through a longer range of motion than a floor-based glute bridge. The shoulder-on-bench setup lets the hips drop deeper, increasing glute recruitment at the bottom of the lift — a strong climbing-power drill for trail runners.

Bodyweight Mid Row
Intermediate

Bodyweight Mid Row

Begin by taking a medium to wide grip on a pull-up apparatus with your palms facing away from you. From a hanging position, tuck your knees to your chest, leaning back and getting your legs over your side of the pull-up apparatus. This will be your starting position.

Bodyweight Step-Up

A unilateral step onto a box or bench, driving up through the lead leg. Builds single-leg quad and glute strength with a movement pattern that mirrors running gait — ideal for runners building leg endurance without heavy load.

Bounding

A horizontal-plyometric drill: alternating-leg explosive drives forward, covering distance with each push-off. Trains the elastic-energy storage and reactive strength that translates directly to running stride length and ground reaction force production. A higher-impact progression of running drills like A-skips.

Bodyweight
Intermediate

Box Jump

A plyometric exercise that develops vertical and horizontal explosive power. Single-effort box jumps with full recovery train maximal jump height, distinct from reactive multi-response variants which train rebound elasticity.

Box Squat

Box Squat

The box squat allows you to squat to desired depth and develop explosive strength in the squat movement. Begin in a power rack with a box at the appropriate height behind you. Typically, you would aim for a box height that brings you to a parallel squat, but you can train higher or lower if desired.

Box Squat with Bands

Box Squat with Bands

Begin in a power rack with a box at the appropriate height behind you. Set up the bands on the sleeves, secured to either band pegs, the rack, or dumbbells so that there is appropriate tension. If dumbbells are used, secure them so that they don't move. Also, ensure that the dumbbells you are using are heavy enough for the bands that you are using. Additional plates can be used to hold the dumbbells down. If more tension is needed, you can either widen the base on the floor or choke the bands. T

Bradford/Rocky Presses
Beginner

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.

Bulgarian Split Squat

A unilateral lower-body exercise that develops single-leg strength, balance, and stability. Heavily targets the quadriceps with significant glute and adductor engagement. Distinct from a plain Split Squat — the rear foot is elevated, biasing more load to the front leg.

Bodyweight
Beginner

Burpee

A full-body bodyweight conditioning movement combining a squat-thrust, push-up, and jump. Used as a conditioning finisher in calisthenics work because it loads the entire body across multiple planes in one rep. Distinct from Mountain Climbers (no jump, no push-up phase, sustained-tempo plank-position drill) and from Squat Jumps (no upper body component).

Bodyweight
Butterfly
Beginner

Butterfly

The Butterfly or Pec Deck is an isolation exercise performed on a machine to target the chest muscles. It is excellent for developing chest definition and the mind-muscle connection, as it minimizes stabilizer involvement compared to free-weight presses.
