Wide-Grip Barbell Bench Press

Exercise Rating
10/10

Apr 20, 2012 1:01 PM: if you dont go all the way down to your chest it will only work the outer chest. for all the people complaining about that, thats why. and if you use the appropriate weight, you dont need to worry about shoulder problems

Barbell Squat

Exercise Rating
10/10

Apr 18, 2012 10:07 AM: This is the king of all workouts. The other is deadlifts. But this video is wrong. Keep your head parallel with your back to help prevent neck injury. Also bring your upper legs below the knee. It's not a squat until you are below parallel. Learn from Mark Rippetoe and read Starting Strength or just...+See More

Kettlebell One-Legged Deadlift

Exercise Rating
9/10

Apr 17, 2012 1:17 PM: Solid exercise. I like using dumbbells instead of kettles just for more variety in the weights. It does the same thing otherwise. I also put my free hand on something next to me just to keep my balance as I go through the motions.

Decline Oblique Crunch

Exercise Rating
10/10

Apr 5, 2012 6:46 AM: I gave this a 10, not for what he is doing but for my more intense form. I cross my arms over my chest holding a weight, then come down twisted so that one shoulder is next to the bench and my head is near the floor. Then I do the other side. Even without the weight, this form makes is way more focused...+See More

Hanging Leg Raise

Exercise Rating
7/10

Apr 4, 2012 12:33 AM: I would consider this to be more of a hip flexor exercise than an abdominal exercise. If you want to make it more of a abdominal exercise, you would want to add spinal flexion (as in a reverse crunch).
