Exercise library

Exercise library: how to do 91 exercises properly

Updated 10 September 2026

Every exercise in the Top 1% Fit programme, with the form cues that matter, the mistakes people actually make, and a note on how to programme each one. Written for gym, dumbbell-only and bodyweight training — pick the muscle group you are training.

How the library is put together

Every entry names the equipment it needs, the muscles it trains, five or six cues in the order you actually perform the movement, the three mistakes that come up most, and a short note on where it fits in a programme. Where a movement needs a gym, the entry lists dumbbell or bodyweight alternatives that train the same pattern, so a plan built at home is never a worse plan — only a different one.
