Exercise library
615 exercises with step-by-step form instructions, muscles worked, common mistakes, and video demonstrations — the same library built into the Gript workout tracker.
By muscle
Every exercise is mapped to the muscles it trains — browse by what you want to build.
Chest 91
Presses, flyes, dips, and push-up variations for the pectorals — from barbell benching to cable and bodyweight work.
Lats 100
Pull-ups, pulldowns, and rows that build the latissimus dorsi — the muscles behind a wide back and a strong pull.
Upper back 78
Rows, face pulls, and reverse flyes for the rhomboids and mid-traps — posture muscles that keep shoulders healthy.
Lower back 17
Extensions, good mornings, and hinge patterns that strengthen the spinal erectors and protect your deadlift.
Traps 31
Shrugs, carries, and pulls that build the trapezius from the neck down to the mid-back.
Front delts 78
Overhead presses and front raises for the anterior deltoid — the shoulder muscle that drives every press.
Side delts 45
Lateral raises and upright rows for the medial deltoid — the muscle that makes shoulders look wide.
Rear delts 15
Reverse flyes, face pulls, and rear-delt rows for the posterior deltoid — the most commonly skipped shoulder muscle.
Biceps 40
Curls in every grip and angle — barbell, dumbbell, cable, and bodyweight — for the biceps and brachialis.
Triceps 64
Pushdowns, extensions, dips, and close-grip presses for the triceps — two-thirds of your upper arm.
Forearms 22
Wrist curls, holds, and carries that build grip strength and forearm size.
Abs 91
Crunches, leg raises, planks, and rollouts for the rectus abdominis — trained with progression like any other muscle.
Obliques 35
Rotations, side planks, and anti-rotation work for the muscles that flank your waist.
Quads 126
Squats, lunges, leg presses, and extensions for the quadriceps — the engine of every squat pattern.
Hamstrings 51
Deadlift variations, curls, and hip hinges for the hamstrings — trained through both hip extension and knee flexion.
Glutes 161
Hip thrusts, squats, deadlifts, and abductions for the strongest muscle group in the body.
Adductors 11
Inner-thigh work — machine adductions, Copenhagen planks, and wide-stance squatting patterns.
Abductors 8
Machine abductions, banded walks, and hip work for the glute medius and outer hip.
Calves 34
Standing and seated raises that hit both the gastrocnemius and the soleus.
Hip flexors 28
Raises, marches, and holds for the muscles that lift your knee — key for sprinting and leg raises.
By equipment
Training at a full gym, at home with dumbbells, or with just a pull-up bar — filter by what you have.
Bodyweight 133
Nothing but you and the floor — push-ups, squats, lunges, planks, and holds that travel anywhere you do.
Barbell 94
The heaviest tool in the gym — squats, presses, deadlifts, rows, and every variation between.
Dumbbell 87
Unilateral strength and full range of motion — presses, rows, curls, and lunges with a pair of dumbbells.
Kettlebell 25
Swings, cleans, presses, and carries — ballistic and grind work with the kettlebell.
Machine 79
Guided resistance for safe, repeatable loading — presses, rows, curls, and leg machines.
Cable 64
Constant tension through every angle — pulldowns, rows, flyes, pushdowns, and rotations.
Smith machine 13
Fixed-path barbell work — squats, presses, rows, and lunges on the Smith machine.
Resistance band 22
Portable resistance for warm-ups, accessories, and home training.
Pull-up bar 45
Pull-ups, chin-ups, leg raises, and hangs — the simplest tool that builds the most back.
Suspension trainer 13
Rows, presses, and core work on suspension straps — bodyweight training with adjustable difficulty.
By difficulty
First month in the gym or ten years in — start where the technique matches your experience.
Beginner 335
Short learning curve, forgiving technique — the machine, dumbbell, cable, and bodyweight movements to start with.
Intermediate 205
Free-weight compounds and harder variations worth adding once the basics run on autopilot.
Advanced 75
High-skill work — explosive lifts, hard bodyweight progressions, and variations that punish sloppy form.
Every exercise here is one tap away in the Gript app — with your full history, records, and charts attached to it.
