Standing Calf Raise: Essential for a balanced physique, focusing on locking knees and flexing glutes to isolate the calf.
Dumbbell Shoulder Press: A compound movement for building shoulders, with variations in grip and range of motion to accommodate individual needs and prevent injury.
Chest Supported Row: Chosen for its ability to reduce core engagement, potentially helping to maintain a smaller waistline, a consideration for bodybuilders.
Incline Dumbbell Curl: Emphasizes the stretch and contraction of the biceps, with different incline angles offering varied stimulus.
Decline Dumbbell Skull Crusher: A less common variation that provides a unique stretch for the triceps.
Barbell Back Squat: Considered a fundamental exercise for leg development, with an emphasis on full range of motion and proper foot/knee alignment.
Lying Hamstring Curl: Focuses on loading the hamstrings in the stretch position for maximum growth.
Supinated Pull-Up: Beneficial for targeting the lats and improving posture, especially for those with rounded shoulders from daily activities.
Incline Dumbbell Press: A favored chest exercise that allows for a significant range of motion and heavy loading.
Deadlift: Ranked as the number one exercise for overall muscle mass and strength, with a recommendation against sumo deadlifts for most individuals.
