Author the machine exercise circuit with props and corrected hip machine motions
Fourteen Planet Fitness machine exercises join the rig library, each with authored motion, info page, and schematic equipment via the new props layer (scene shapes, cables, bars, pads) rendered in lockstep by render.py and the in-app figure renderer. Abductor and Adductor are authored face-on with the real seated machine motion — knees-bent legs swinging apart/together against knee pads — replacing the earlier middle-split depiction. The watch target now bundles the figure renderer and motion rigs too. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01LEoff8bXGBS83tK1c55Mf7

# Abdominal
|
||||
|
||||
The seated crunch machine — loaded spinal flexion with the lower back
|
||||
supported.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Category:** Main circuit
|
||||
- **Type:** Machine-based trunk flexion
|
||||
- **Targets:** Rectus abdominis, deep core
|
||||
- **Prescription:** 4 × 10
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
Sit with the pads resting against your chest and your feet flat on the
|
||||
platform. Grip the handles lightly and set the seat so your hips stay tucked
|
||||
into the base of the back pad.
|
||||
|
||||
## Execution
|
||||
|
||||
1. Contract your abs to curl your ribs down toward your pelvis, driving the
|
||||
chest pad forward.
|
||||
2. Pause at the bottom of the crunch, feeling the abs fully shortened.
|
||||
3. Return under control until the torso is tall again — don't let the weight
|
||||
yank you back up.
|
||||
|
||||
## Cues
|
||||
|
||||
- Curl the spine, don't just hinge at the hips — think "shorten the front".
|
||||
- Keep your lower back in contact with the pad throughout.
|
||||
- Let the abs move the weight; the arms only steady the handles.
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Mistakes
|
||||
|
||||
- Pulling with the arms or shoulders instead of the abs.
|
||||
- Hinging from the hips with a flat, rigid spine.
|
||||
- Rushing the return and bouncing out of the top.
|
||||
|
||||
## Progression
|
||||
|
||||
Add weight once all four sets of ten are a controlled curl; slow the lowering
|
||||
phase to three seconds for extra time under tension.

# Abductor
|
||||
|
||||
The seated hip-abduction machine — presses the knees apart to load the outer
|
||||
hips and glutes.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Category:** Main circuit
|
||||
- **Type:** Machine-based hip abduction
|
||||
- **Targets:** Gluteus medius, gluteus minimus, outer thighs
|
||||
- **Prescription:** 4 × 10
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
Sit with your legs inside the pads, back flat against the seat, and knees
|
||||
starting close together. Rest your hands on the seat sides and keep your torso
|
||||
upright.
|
||||
|
||||
## Execution
|
||||
|
||||
1. Push your knees outward against the pads to spread the legs.
|
||||
2. Pause at the widest point, squeezing the outer hips and glutes.
|
||||
3. Bring the legs back together under control — resist the pads on the way in.
|
||||
|
||||
## Cues
|
||||
|
||||
- Stay upright; leaning forward hands the work to the lower back.
|
||||
- Drive the knees out through the outer hips, not by rocking the pelvis.
|
||||
- Control the return so the pads don't slam your knees closed.
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Mistakes
|
||||
|
||||
- Leaning forward to force the legs wider.
|
||||
- Letting the pads snap the knees back together.
|
||||
- Using a bouncy, momentum-driven range instead of steady tension.
|
||||
|
||||
## Progression
|
||||
|
||||
Add weight in small steps once all four sets of ten are smooth; pause two
|
||||
seconds at full spread to build end-range strength.

# Adductor
|
||||
|
||||
The seated hip-adduction machine — squeezes the knees together to load the
|
||||
inner thighs.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Category:** Main circuit
|
||||
- **Type:** Machine-based hip adduction
|
||||
- **Targets:** Adductors, inner thighs
|
||||
- **Prescription:** 4 × 10
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
Sit with your legs placed outside the pads, back flat against the seat, and
|
||||
knees starting spread apart. Rest your hands on the seat sides and keep your
|
||||
torso upright.
|
||||
|
||||
## Execution
|
||||
|
||||
1. Squeeze your knees together against the pads using your inner thighs.
|
||||
2. Pause when the knees nearly touch, holding the contraction.
|
||||
3. Let the legs spread back open under control — don't let the pads fling them
|
||||
apart.
|
||||
|
||||
## Cues
|
||||
|
||||
- Drive the movement from the inner thighs, not by rocking the hips.
|
||||
- Keep the torso upright and the back against the seat.
|
||||
- Control both directions; the opening phase trains the muscle too.
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Mistakes
|
||||
|
||||
- Letting the pads throw the legs open at the start of each rep.
|
||||
- Setting too wide a start range before the muscle is warm.
|
||||
- Fast, swinging reps that rely on momentum instead of the adductors.
|
||||
|
||||
## Progression
|
||||
|
||||
Add weight once all four sets of ten are controlled in both directions; pause
|
||||
two seconds with the knees together to strengthen the fully-shortened position.

# Arm Curl
|
||||
|
||||
The seated machine curl — biceps isolation with the upper arms braced flat on
|
||||
the pad so only the forearms move.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Category:** Main circuit
|
||||
- **Type:** Machine-based elbow flexion (isolation)
|
||||
- **Targets:** Biceps brachii, brachialis
|
||||
- **Prescription:** 4 × 10
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
Sit with your upper arms flat along the pad and grip the handles. Start with
|
||||
your forearms extended down along the pad, elbows just short of locked.
|
||||
|
||||
## Execution
|
||||
|
||||
1. Curl the handles up toward your shoulders, squeezing the biceps at the top.
|
||||
2. Keep your upper arms pinned to the pad — only the forearms move.
|
||||
3. Lower under control until the forearms are fully extended again.
|
||||
|
||||
## Cues
|
||||
|
||||
- Upper arms stay glued to the pad the entire rep.
|
||||
- Squeeze hard at the top, then resist the weight all the way down.
|
||||
- Wrists stay neutral — don't curl with the hands.
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Mistakes
|
||||
|
||||
- Rocking the torso or lifting the elbows to swing the weight up.
|
||||
- Cutting the lowering phase short and dropping the weight.
|
||||
- Not fully extending at the bottom, shortening the range.
|
||||
|
||||
## Progression
|
||||
|
||||
Add weight once all four sets of ten are strict; slow the lowering phase to
|
||||
three seconds before adding load again.

Anti-rotation drill — extend opposite limbs while the hips and spine refuse to
|
||||
twist.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Category:** Warm-up and main circuit
|
||||
- **Type:** Anti-rotation
|
||||
- **Targets:** Spinal erectors, glutes, deep core, shoulder stability
|
||||
- **Prescription:** Warm-up 8 per side; main circuit 3 × 8–10 per side, slow
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
On all fours: hands under shoulders, knees under hips, spine neutral, gaze at
|
||||
the floor.
|
||||
|
||||
## Execution
|
||||
|
||||
1. Brace, then reach one arm forward and the *opposite* leg back until both are
|
||||
in line with the torso.
|
||||
2. Pause for a beat at full extension — hips stay square to the floor.
|
||||
3. Return under control and switch sides.
|
||||
|
||||
## Cues
|
||||
|
||||
- Imagine a cup of water balanced on the lower back — nothing spills.
|
||||
- Reach *long*, not high: heel pushes back, knuckles push forward.
|
||||
- Slow, no momentum; the pause is where the work happens.
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Mistakes
|
||||
|
||||
- Hips rotating open as the leg lifts.
|
||||
- Lifting the leg above hip height and arching the lower back.
|
||||
- Racing through reps.

# Calfs
|
||||
|
||||
Seated heel raises through a full range — a deep stretch below the platform and
|
||||
a hard squeeze at the top.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Category:** Main circuit
|
||||
- **Type:** Machine-based calf raise
|
||||
- **Targets:** Soleus, gastrocnemius
|
||||
- **Prescription:** 4 × 10
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
Sit with the balls of your feet on the platform, heels hanging off the back
|
||||
edge, and the pad snug on your lower thighs just above the knees. Hold the pad
|
||||
handles lightly.
|
||||
|
||||
## Execution
|
||||
|
||||
1. Raise your heels by contracting your calves, pressing up onto the balls of
|
||||
your feet against the pad.
|
||||
2. Pause at the top with the calves fully shortened.
|
||||
3. Slowly lower your heels below the platform level for a full stretch.
|
||||
|
||||
## Cues
|
||||
|
||||
- Chase the full range — a hard squeeze up top, a deep stretch at the bottom.
|
||||
- Drive through the balls of the feet, not the toes.
|
||||
- Control the tempo; the stretch under the platform is where the work is.
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Mistakes
|
||||
|
||||
- Bouncing through short, choppy reps instead of the full range.
|
||||
- Rocking the weight up with the hips instead of the calves.
|
||||
- Rushing the lowering and skipping the bottom stretch.
|
||||
|
||||
## Progression
|
||||
|
||||
Add weight in small increments once all four sets of ten are controlled;
|
||||
single-leg raises and paused reps at the stretched bottom build the hardest end
|
||||
of the range.

# Cat-Cow
|
||||
|
||||
Gentle spinal mobility drill that wakes up the whole trunk before core work.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Category:** Warm-up
|
||||
- **Type:** Spinal mobility
|
||||
- **Targets:** Thoracic and lumbar spine, deep core awareness
|
||||
- **Prescription:** 10 slow reps (one rep = cat + cow)
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
On all fours: hands under shoulders, knees under hips, spine neutral, gaze at
|
||||
the floor.
|
||||
|
||||
## Execution
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Cat** — exhale, press the floor away, round the whole spine up toward the
|
||||
ceiling and tuck chin and tailbone.
|
||||
2. **Cow** — inhale, let the belly drop, lift the chest and tailbone, gaze
|
||||
slightly forward.
|
||||
3. Flow between the two, one breath per position.
|
||||
|
||||
## Cues
|
||||
|
||||
- Move segment by segment, not as one stiff plank.
|
||||
- Let the breath set the tempo — no rushing.
|
||||
- Reach the mid-back toward the ceiling in cat; most people only move the neck.
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Mistakes
|
||||
|
||||
- All the motion coming from the neck and hips, none from the mid-back.
|
||||
- Collapsing into the shoulders instead of pressing the floor away.
|
||||
|
||||
## Progression
|
||||
|
||||
Smaller pain-free range → full range → slower tempo with a pause at each end →
|
||||
segmental rolls (peel one vertebra at a time)

# Chest Press
|
||||
|
||||
The seated horizontal press — the machine bench press, pushing the handles
|
||||
forward from the chest.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Category:** Main circuit
|
||||
- **Type:** Machine-based horizontal press
|
||||
- **Targets:** Pectorals, anterior deltoids, triceps
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
Adjust the seat so the handles sit at mid-chest height. Grip the handles, set
|
||||
your back against the pad, and keep your wrists straight and stacked over the
|
||||
forearms.
|
||||
|
||||
## Execution
|
||||
|
||||
1. Push the handles forward until your arms are nearly extended — stop short of
|
||||
locking the elbows.
|
||||
2. Pause briefly, then return slowly until the handles are back at your chest.
|
||||
3. Keep your shoulder blades gently pinned to the pad throughout.
|
||||
|
||||
## Cues
|
||||
|
||||
- Drive through the palms; wrists stay straight, not bent back.
|
||||
- Don't let the elbows drop far below the handles at the bottom.
|
||||
- Return under control — resist the weight rather than letting it pull you back.
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Mistakes
|
||||
|
||||
- Letting the elbows sink too low, straining the shoulders.
|
||||
- Bouncing the handles at the chest to start the next rep.
|
||||
- Locking the elbows hard at full extension.
|
||||
|
||||
## Progression
|
||||
|
||||
Add weight in small plates once all four sets of ten are controlled; alternate
|
||||
to a single-arm press to expose and correct side-to-side differences.

# Dead Bug
|
||||
|
||||
Anti-extension drill — the limbs move while the trunk stays perfectly still.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Category:** Warm-up
|
||||
- **Type:** Anti-extension
|
||||
- **Targets:** Deep core (transverse abdominis), hip flexor control
|
||||
- **Prescription:** 8 per side, slow and controlled
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
Lie on your back. Arms straight up over the shoulders, hips and knees bent to
|
||||
90°, lower back pressed into the floor.
|
||||
|
||||
## Execution
|
||||
|
||||
1. Brace and exhale as you lower one arm overhead and the *opposite* leg toward
|
||||
the floor.
|
||||
2. Stop just before the lower back peels off the floor.
|
||||
3. Return under control and switch sides.
|
||||
|
||||
## Cues
|
||||
|
||||
- Lower back glued to the floor the entire time — that contact *is* the exercise.
|
||||
- Slow negatives; the reach out should take 2–3 seconds.
|
||||
- Ribs down, no flaring as the arm goes overhead.
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Mistakes
|
||||
|
||||
- Arching the lower back as the leg lowers.
|
||||
- Moving arm and leg on the same side.
|
||||
- Rushing reps and turning it into a flutter kick.
|
||||
|
||||
## Progression
|
||||
|
||||
Heels sliding on floor → bent-knee reach → straight-leg reach → both legs
|

lowering together → light weight held overhead

# Hollow Body Hold
|
||||
|
||||
The gold standard for deep core tension — a shallow, rigid banana shape.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Category:** Main circuit
|
||||
- **Type:** Anti-extension (isometric hold)
|
||||
- **Targets:** Rectus abdominis, deep core, hip flexors
|
||||
- **Prescription:** 3 × 20–40 s holds
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
Lie on your back, arms extended overhead beside the ears, legs straight and
|
||||
together.
|
||||
|
||||
## Execution
|
||||
|
||||
1. Press the lower back *into* the floor and hold it there — this never releases.
|
||||
2. Lift shoulder blades and legs a few inches off the floor into a shallow
|
||||
banana shape.
|
||||
3. Reach long through fingers and toes and hold.
|
||||
|
||||
## Cues
|
||||
|
||||
- The lower back stays welded to the floor; if it lifts, shorten the shape.
|
||||
- Chin gently tucked — look at your thighs, not the ceiling.
|
||||
- Lower = harder. Height is not the goal, tension is.
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Mistakes
|
||||
|
||||
- Lower back arching off the floor (the hold has failed at that point).
|
||||
- Folding at the hips into a V-sit.
|
||||
- Neck cranked forward doing all the "work".
|
||||
|
||||

# Lat Pull Down
|
||||
|
||||
The seated vertical pull — building width through the lats with a bar driven
|
||||
down from overhead.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Category:** Main circuit
|
||||
- **Type:** Machine-based vertical pull
|
||||
- **Targets:** Latissimus dorsi, mid-back, rear delts, biceps
|
||||
- **Prescription:** 4 × 10
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
Sit upright with your knees secured under the pad and feet flat. Grip the bar
|
||||
wider than shoulder-width, arms fully extended overhead, torso just off vertical.
|
||||
|
||||
## Execution
|
||||
|
||||
1. Pull the bar down to your upper chest, driving your elbows down and back.
|
||||
2. Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the bottom and pause briefly.
|
||||
3. Return the bar overhead under control until your arms are fully extended.
|
||||
|
||||
## Cues
|
||||
|
||||
- Lead with the elbows, not the hands — think "elbows to the ribs".
|
||||
- Squeeze the shoulder blades down and together at the bottom.
|
||||
- Keep the torso tall; only a slight lean back, never a swing.
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Mistakes
|
||||
|
||||
- Leaning back excessively and turning it into a row.
|
||||
- Using momentum to yank the bar down.
|
||||
- Stopping short — not pulling the bar all the way to the chest.
|
||||
|
||||
## Progression
|
||||
|
||||
Add weight once all four sets of ten are clean; progress to a wider or neutral
|
||||
grip, then to strict pull-ups as pulling strength builds.

# Leg Curl
|
||||
|
||||
Isolated hamstring work — the heels curl toward the glutes while a pad locks
|
||||
the thighs in place.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Category:** Main circuit
|
||||
- **Type:** Machine-based isolation (knee flexion)
|
||||
- **Targets:** Hamstrings (biceps femoris, semitendinosus, semimembranosus)
|
||||
- **Prescription:** 4 × 10
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
Sit (or lie face down, depending on the version) with the thigh pad locked over
|
||||
your legs and the roller behind your ankles. Start with the legs extended.
|
||||
|
||||
## Execution
|
||||
|
||||
1. Curl your legs toward your glutes, driving through the hamstrings.
|
||||
2. Squeeze hard at the fully bent position.
|
||||
3. Return the roller under control until the legs are extended again.
|
||||
|
||||
## Cues
|
||||
|
||||
- Focus on hamstring engagement — feel the pull behind the knee, not the back.
|
||||
- Keep your hips and back still against the pad; no arching to cheat.
|
||||
- Curl through the full range, all the way to the glutes.
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Mistakes
|
||||
|
||||
- Arching the lower back to yank the weight up.
|
||||
- Using momentum instead of a controlled curl.
|
||||
- Cutting the range short and never reaching full flexion.
|
||||
|
||||
## Progression
|
||||
|
||||
Add load once all four sets of ten are controlled; single-leg curls for
|
||||
asymmetry, or a slow eccentric to overload the lengthening hamstring.

# Leg Extension
|
||||
|
||||
Isolated quadriceps work — the knee opens against the roller while the hips
|
||||
stay pinned to the seat.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Category:** Main circuit
|
||||
- **Type:** Machine-based isolation (knee extension)
|
||||
- **Targets:** Quadriceps (rectus femoris, vastus lateralis/medialis)
|
||||
- **Prescription:** 4 × 10
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
Sit upright with your back flat against the pad and align your knees with the
|
||||
machine's pivot point. Hook the roller pad against the front of your ankles,
|
||||
hands resting on the side grips.
|
||||
|
||||
## Execution
|
||||
|
||||
1. Extend your legs to a straightened position — stop just short of snapping
|
||||
the knees into lockout.
|
||||
2. Pause briefly at the top with the quads squeezed hard.
|
||||
3. Lower the roller back down with control to the start.
|
||||
|
||||
## Cues
|
||||
|
||||
- Knees stack over the pivot — realign the seat if they sit forward or back.
|
||||
- Hips glued to the seat; if they lift, the weight is too heavy.
|
||||
- Own the lowering — no free-falling back to the stack.
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Mistakes
|
||||
|
||||
- Jerky, momentum-driven reps instead of a smooth extension.
|
||||
- Lifting the hips off the seat to swing the weight up.
|
||||
- Slamming into a locked knee at the top.
|
||||
|
||||
## Progression
|
||||
|
||||
Add load in small increments once all four sets of ten are smooth; single-leg
|
||||
extensions for asymmetry, or a paused top / slow eccentric for more time under
|
||||
tension.

# Leg Press
|
||||
|
||||
The seated machine squat — maximum lower-body load with the back fully
|
||||
supported.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Category:** Main circuit
|
||||
- **Type:** Machine-based compound push
|
||||
- **Targets:** Quadriceps, glutes, hamstrings
|
||||
- **Prescription:** 4 × 10
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
Sit with your back and hips flat against the pad. Place your feet
|
||||
shoulder-width on the platform, heels never floating. Adjust the seat so your
|
||||
knees start near 90°.
|
||||
|
||||
## Execution
|
||||
|
||||
1. Press through your heels until your legs are nearly straight — stop short
|
||||
of locking the knees.
|
||||
2. Pause briefly, then bend the knees to return under control.
|
||||
3. Keep your back and hips glued to the pad the whole rep.
|
||||
|
||||
## Cues
|
||||
|
||||
- Drive through the heels, not the toes.
|
||||
- Knees track over the feet — don't let them cave inward.
|
||||
- Lower back stays on the pad; if the hips curl up, you've gone too deep.
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Mistakes
|
||||
|
||||
- Locking the knees hard at the top.
|
||||
- Bouncing out of the bottom.
|
||||
- Letting the hips roll off the pad at the bottom of the rep.
|
||||
|
||||
## Progression
|
||||
|
||||
Add weight in small plates once all four sets of ten are controlled; single-leg
|
||||
presses for asymmetry work.

# Leg Raises
|
||||
|
||||
Lower-ab builder — the slow lowering is the exercise.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Category:** Main circuit
|
||||
- **Type:** Anti-extension (dynamic)
|
||||
- **Targets:** Lower rectus abdominis, hip flexors, deep core
|
||||
- **Prescription:** 3 × 8–15 reps, slow negatives
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
**Lying:** flat on your back, legs straight, hands at your sides (or under the
|
||||
tailbone to start). **Hanging:** dead hang from a bar, shoulders packed.
|
||||
|
||||
## Execution
|
||||
|
||||
1. Press the lower back into the floor and brace.
|
||||
2. Raise the legs to vertical without bending the knees more than slightly.
|
||||
3. Lower *slowly* — 3 seconds or more — stopping before the lower back arches
|
||||
off the floor.
|
||||
|
||||
## Cues
|
||||
|
||||
- Lower back flat against the floor on lying versions, always.
|
||||
- The negative is the rep: lower slower than you lift.
|
||||
- Exhale on the way down to keep the ribs from flaring.
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Mistakes
|
||||
|
||||
- Lower back arching off the floor near the bottom.
|
||||
- Dropping the legs instead of lowering them.
|
||||
- Using momentum (swinging) on hanging versions.
|
||||
|
||||
## Progression
|
||||

||||
Bent-knee lying raise → straight-leg lying raise → hanging knee raise →

# Plank
|
||||
|
||||
The baseline anti-extension hold — a rigid line from head to heels.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Category:** Main circuit
|
||||
- **Type:** Anti-extension (isometric hold)
|
||||
- **Targets:** Rectus abdominis, deep core, glutes, shoulders
|
||||
- **Prescription:** 3 × 30–60 s holds
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
Forearms on the floor, elbows under shoulders, feet together behind you. One
|
||||
straight line from the back of the head to the heels.
|
||||
|
||||
## Execution
|
||||
|
||||
1. Squeeze glutes and quads hard, tuck ribs down toward the pelvis.
|
||||
2. Press the floor away through the forearms — no sagging between the shoulders.
|
||||
3. Breathe shallowly behind the brace and hold.
|
||||
|
||||
## Cues
|
||||
|
||||
- Glutes and quads *tight* — a plank fails at the hips first.
|
||||
- Ribs down: think "short front, long back".
|
||||
- If the hips sag or the lower back takes over, the set is done.
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Mistakes
|
||||
|
||||
- Hips sagging (lower back extension — the exact thing to resist).
|
||||
- Hips piked high to make the hold easier.
|
||||
- Holding the breath entirely.
|
||||
|
||||
## Progression
|
||||
|
||||
Knee plank → full plank → feet elevated → RKC plank (maximum-tension, shorter
|
||||
holds) → weighted plank

# Reverse Crunch
|
||||
|
||||
Curl the pelvis toward the ribs — lower-ab flexion without neck strain.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Category:** Main circuit
|
||||
- **Type:** Spinal flexion (lower)
|
||||
- **Targets:** Lower rectus abdominis, deep core
|
||||
- **Prescription:** 3 × 12–15 reps, controlled negative
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
Lie on your back, knees bent toward the chest, shins roughly parallel to the
|
||||
floor, arms along your sides pressing lightly into the floor.
|
||||
|
||||
## Execution
|
||||
|
||||
1. Exhale and curl the pelvis up and toward the ribs, lifting the hips off the
|
||||
floor — knees travel toward the chin.
|
||||
2. Pause briefly at the top.
|
||||
3. Lower the hips back down slowly, one vertebra at a time.
|
||||
|
||||
## Cues
|
||||
|
||||
- Curl, don't kick: the knees drifting up should come from the pelvis tilting,
|
||||
not from leg swing.
|
||||
- Controlled negative — resist gravity all the way down.
|
||||
- Keep the head and shoulders relaxed on the floor.
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Mistakes
|
||||
|
||||
- Swinging the legs and lifting with momentum.
|
||||
- Pushing hard through the arms instead of the abs.
|
||||
- Letting the hips drop back down in one piece.
|
||||
|
||||
## Progression

# Rotary
|
||||
|
||||
The rotary torso machine — controlled trunk rotation that isolates the
|
||||
obliques.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Category:** Main circuit
|
||||
- **Type:** Machine-based trunk rotation
|
||||
- **Targets:** Obliques, deep core
|
||||
- **Prescription:** 4 × 10
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
Sit tall with your hips squared and locked against the pads. Rest your
|
||||
forearms on the pads and grip the handle in front of your chest so the trunk,
|
||||
not the arms, drives the machine.
|
||||
|
||||
## Execution
|
||||
|
||||
1. Rotate your torso to one side in a smooth, controlled arc, keeping your hips
|
||||
still.
|
||||
2. Pause at the end of the range without letting the weight pull you further.
|
||||
3. Return through center and rotate to the other side with the same control.
|
||||
|
||||
## Cues
|
||||
|
||||
- Twist from the waist — the obliques generate the movement, not the arms.
|
||||
- Keep the hips and pelvis pinned; only the trunk turns.
|
||||
- Move slowly; momentum steals the work from the obliques.
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Mistakes
|
||||
|
||||
- Throwing the weight with momentum instead of controlling the twist.
|
||||
- Pushing with the arms rather than rotating the trunk.
|
||||
- Letting the hips swing along with the torso.
|
||||
|
||||
## Progression
|
||||
|
||||
Add weight once both sides move with equal control; pause two seconds at full
|
||||
rotation to kill any momentum.

|
||||
The seated horizontal pull — thickness for the mid-back by driving the elbows
|
||||
straight back against the chest pad.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Category:** Main circuit
|
||||
- **Type:** Machine-based horizontal pull
|
||||
- **Targets:** Mid-back, latissimus dorsi, rear delts, biceps
|
||||
- **Prescription:** 4 × 10
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
Sit with your chest firmly against the pad and feet on the footrest. Grip the
|
||||
handles with your arms extended forward toward the anchor.
|
||||
|
||||
## Execution
|
||||
|
||||
1. Pull straight back, keeping your elbows close to your body.
|
||||
2. Drive the handles to your ribs and retract your shoulder blades hard.
|
||||
3. Return to full extension under control without rounding your back.
|
||||
|
||||
## Cues
|
||||
|
||||
- Retract the shoulder blades first, then the arms follow.
|
||||
- Elbows stay tucked, tracing a line along your sides.
|
||||
- Chest stays glued to the pad the whole rep.
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Mistakes
|
||||
|
||||
- Rounding the back to reach forward at the extension.
|
||||
- Flaring the elbows out wide instead of driving them back.
|
||||
- Heaving with the whole torso instead of pulling with the back.
|
||||
|
||||
## Progression
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
shift emphasis between the lats and the mid-back.

# Shoulder Press
|
||||
|
||||
The seated overhead press — vertical pushing strength with the trunk braced
|
||||
against the pad.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Category:** Main circuit
|
||||
- **Type:** Machine-based vertical press
|
||||
- **Targets:** Deltoids, triceps, upper trapezius
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
Sit with your back against the pad and grip the handles just outside
|
||||
shoulder-width, elbows bent so the handles start at shoulder height. Plant your
|
||||
feet flat and set your ribs down over your hips.
|
||||
|
||||
## Execution
|
||||
|
||||
1. Press the handles straight up until your arms are nearly extended — stop
|
||||
short of locking out the elbows.
|
||||
2. Pause at the top without shrugging, then lower under control back to shoulder
|
||||
height.
|
||||
3. Keep your neck relaxed and your back flat on the pad the whole rep.
|
||||
|
||||
## Cues
|
||||
|
||||
- Press up, not forward — the handles travel over the shoulders.
|
||||
- Keep the ribs down; don't arch the lower back to help the press.
|
||||
- Shoulders stay set — avoid shrugging the handles up with the traps.
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Mistakes
|
||||
|
||||
- Locking the elbows hard at the top.
|
||||
- Shrugging the shoulders to finish the press.
|
||||
- Arching the lower back off the pad as the weight gets heavy.
|
||||
|
||||
## Progression
|
||||
|
||||
Add weight in small increments once all four sets of ten are smooth; move to a
|
||||
single-arm press for even loading and extra core demand.

Anti-lateral-flexion hold — resist the hips dropping toward the floor.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Category:** Main circuit
|
||||
- **Type:** Anti-lateral flexion (isometric hold)
|
||||
- **Targets:** Obliques, quadratus lumborum, glute medius, shoulder stability
|
||||
- **Prescription:** 3 × 20–45 s per side
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
Lie on one side, elbow directly under the shoulder, forearm across the floor.
|
||||
Feet stacked (or staggered), body in one straight line.
|
||||
|
||||
## Execution
|
||||
|
||||
1. Drive the hips up until shoulders, hips, and ankles form a straight line.
|
||||
2. Stack the hips vertically — don't let the top hip roll forward or back.
|
||||
3. Hold, then switch sides.
|
||||
|
||||
## Cues
|
||||
|
||||
- Hips *high*: most people sag an inch without noticing.
|
||||
- Push the floor away through the forearm — no collapsing into the shoulder.

1. Press the handles down by straightening your elbows, keeping your upper arms
|
||||
still against your sides.
|
||||
2. Extend fully without snapping the elbows, pausing briefly at the bottom.
|
||||
3. Let the handles rise back to chest height under control, elbows staying
|
||||
tucked.
|
||||
|
||||
## Cues
|
||||
|
||||
- Only the forearms move — the upper arms stay glued to the torso.
|
||||
- Keep the motion controlled; don't fling the handles down.
|
||||
- Squeeze the triceps at the bottom rather than leaning your weight in.
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Mistakes
|
||||
|
||||
- Flaring the elbows out away from the sides.
|
||||
- Using the shoulders or bodyweight to drive the handles down.
|
||||
- Cutting the extension short and never reaching full lockout.
|
||||
|
||||
## Progression
|
||||
|
||||
Add weight in small increments once all four sets of ten are clean; slow the
|
||||
lowering phase to three seconds to add time under tension for the triceps.
