Listed below are Body-Solid’s picks of the best exercises you can do for each body part. These 
exercises can be done using free weights, machines and multi-station gyms. Learn to do each exercise 
in proper form. You can make substitutions in your training and try variations of each using different 
Body-Solid grips, cable attachments and accessories to slightly change the emphasis of a particular 
exercise. Note: Many movements, especially multijoint exercises, work more than one muscle group. 
For example, your front deltoids and triceps are stimulated during bench / chest pressing movements.

CHEST

This powerful muscle group is the             
cornerstone of a well-developed 
upper body. To most thoroughly 
work your pecs, include both 

pressing and fly movements and 

vary the angle of the bench from 

decline to flat to incline.

BENCH / CHEST PRESS

INCLINE PRESS

DECLINE PRESS

PEC FLY

INCLINE FLY

DECLINE FLY

CABLE CROSSOVER

DIPS

SHOULDERS

The shoulder joint, which has the  
greatest range of motion of all 
joints in the body, is best worked 
by training all three deltoid heads. 
Include a pressing movement 
followed by a raise for each of the 
three heads.

SHOULDER PRESS

BEHIND THE NECK PRESS

FRONT DELTOID RAISE

LATERAL (SIDE) DELTOID RAISE

BENT-OVER LATERAL DELTOID 

RAISE

REVERSE PEC-FLY

UPPER BACK

A powerful upper back is marked 
by both middle-back thickness and 
width (the sought-after V-taper). 
This is best achieved by combining 
various  rows with pull-downs 
and pull-ups. Remember to vary 
your grip to slightly change the 
stimulus.

PULL UP

UPRIGHT ROW

LAT PULLDOWN

SEATED ROW

BENT OVER ROW

HIGH ROW

REVERSE GRIP PULLDOWN

TRAPS

A signature muscle of a strong 
upper back, well-developed traps 
help prevent neck injury. Shrug 
movements should be done with 
heavy weights in a straight up-and-
down motion.

STRAIGHT BAR SHRUG

DUMBBELL SHRUG

BEHIND THE BACK SHRUG

UPRIGHT ROW

LOWER BACK

Important not only for spinal 
protection but also because it’s the 
seat of power for many exercises. 
If you spend a great deal of time 
crunching for abs, you need to 
balance your training for complete 
development and muscular 
balance.

PULL UP

UPRIGHT ROW

LAT PULLDOWN

SEATED ROW

BENT OVER ROW

HIGH ROW

REVERSE GRIP PULLDOWN

TRICEPS

This three-headed muscle on the 
back of your arm is involved in 
extension of the elbow. Like the 
biceps, the triceps cross the elbow 
and shoulder joints. Because of 
this, you can and should work the 
triceps through a variety of angles 
to ensure  complete development.

LYING TRICEPS EXTENSION

CABLE TRICEPS EXTENSION

CABLE TRICEPS PRESSDOWN

CLOSE-GRIP BENCH PRESS

REVERSE-GRIP PRESSDOWN

TRICEPS PRESS

DIPS

BICEPS / FOREARMS

A two-headed muscle, the biceps’         

primary focus is to flex your elbow 

and supinate your wrist. The 
ability to build your biceps peak is 
largely genetic, but exercises that 
maximally stress the short head 
will help.

BICEPS

   STANDING BICEP CURL

   SEATED BICEP CURL

   INCLINE CURL

   PREACHER CURL

   CONCENTRATION CURL

   ONE-ARM CABLE CURL

FOREARMS

   WRIST CURL

   REVERSE WRIST CUR

L

ABDOMINALS

The rectus abdominus has upper 
and lower regions. Include both 
upper and lower ab movement to 
emphasize those areas, and do 
twisting movements to work the 
obliques for complete develop-
ment.

UPPER AB REGION

   CABLE AB CRUNCH

   DECLINE BENCH CRUNCH

LOWER AB REGION

   REVERSE CRUNCH

   HANGING KNEE RAISE

   HIP THRUST

OBLIQUES

   CABLE SIDE BEND

   OBLIQUE CRUNCH

THIGHS / GLUTES

The main muscles of the thighs 
are the quadriceps which are 
composed of four muscles. You 
have several others near the hip 
joint, including the body’s largest 
muscle group, the gluteals. Multi-
joint movements (in which action 
occurs at both the hip and knee 
joints) are your best choice to work 
these muscles.

BACK SQUAT

FRONT SQUAT

LEG PRESS

LUNGE

REVERSE LUNGE

STEP-UP

LEG EXTENSION 

(does not work 

glutes)

HAMSTRINGS

On the back of the thighs, the  
hamstrings balance the quads 
and allow for a wide range of        
movement. Good exercise choices 
include those that work the  
hamstrings and both the hip and 
knee joints.

DEADLIFT

STIFF-LEGGED DEADLIFT

GOOD MORNING

LYING LEG CURL

SEATED LEG CURL

ONE-LEGGED STANDING LEG 

CURL

CALVES

Calves consist of two major 
muscles, the gastrocnemius and 
soleus. The latter is best worked 

when the knee is flexed, as in the 

seated calf raise.

STANDING CALF RAISE

SEATED CALF RAISE

DONKEY CALF RAISE

LEG PRESS CALF RAISE

HACK SQUAT CALF RAISE
