The Arsenal
Exercises
Every movement that actually shows up in the log — no filler, no theoretical exercises. The prescriptions are what really got done. Steal whatever looks fun.
Movement guides
How to do it · how to scale it · what to do insteadBench Press
Horizontal barbell press — the classic upper-body strength lift.
Overhead Press
Standing barbell press from shoulders to lockout overhead.
Deadlift
Pull a loaded bar from the floor to standing. The whole-body strength test.
Pull-Ups
Hang, pull your chin over the bar, control the way down.
Muscle-Ups
Pull-up into a transition over the bar or rings, then press out.
Sled Push
Drive a loaded sled across the floor. HYROX station and leg destroyer.
Sled Pull
Hand-over-hand rope pull dragging a loaded sled toward you.
Wall Balls
Squat, then throw a medicine ball to a target. Legs and lungs at once.
Burpees
Chest to floor, stand up, repeat. Universally hated, universally effective.
Kettlebell Swings
Explosive hip hinge that throws a bell to chest or overhead height.
Farmers Carry
Pick up heavy things, walk with them, don't put them down.
Walking Lunges
Step, drop the back knee, stand up, repeat — loaded or not.
Back Squat
Bar on the back, sit down between your hips, stand back up.
Rowing (Erg)
Concept2-style rowing — the most honest cardio machine there is.
SkiErg
Double-pole machine — upper body and core doing the cardio work.
Running
The base of the whole thing. Easy miles, intervals, or compromised running.
Assault Bike
Fan bike. The harder you go, the harder it pushes back.
Hip Thrust
Loaded bridge from a bench — direct glute strength for sleds and sprints.
Dips
Press your bodyweight up on parallel bars or a bench.
Plank & Core
Hold a straight line. Boring, load-bearing for everything else.
