Other Equipment

No Equipment Exercises Bodyweight movements that need nothing but floor space — the foundation of training at home. Dumbbells Exercises The most versatile piece of home equipment: one pair covers pressing, pulling, hinging and carrying. Barbell Exercises Heaviest loading and the cleanest progression, at the cost of needing a rack and plates. Resistance Bands Exercises Portable, joint-friendly resistance that increases through the range of motion. Cable Machine Exercises Constant tension at any angle — the reason cable work feels different from free weights. Machines Exercises A fixed movement path, which trades some stabiliser work for the ability to push closer to failure safely.
