Barbell Flat Bench Presses
The classic lying press. It builds the upper-body pushing strength you use to get up off the floor and move heavy things.
Barbell Incline Bench Presses
Pressing a bar up from an angled bench builds upper-body pushing strength. It puts extra focus on the top of your chest.
Barbell Alternating Forward Lunges
Stepping forward into a lunge with a bar on your back. It builds leg strength and the balance to brake and change direction.
Barbell Back Squats
The classic squat with a loaded bar across your back. It's the most direct way to build leg strength for standing, climbing and lifting.
Barbell Front Squats
A squat with the bar held on the front of your shoulders. It keeps you more upright and puts extra work on the front of your thighs.
Barbell Non-Alternating Reverse Lunges
Stepping back with a bar on your back loads one leg at a time. It builds strength and balance with less knee strain than stepping forward.
Barbell Split Squats
A staggered-stance squat with a bar on your back, letting you load each leg heavily for strength and balance.
