    Biceps exercises.

    • Standing barbell curl

    • Standing dumbbell curl

    • Barbell wrist curl

    • Preacher curl

    • Hammer curl

    • Close grip bench press

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Standing barbell curl
    A. Standing dumbbell curl
    A. Preacher curl
    A. Hammer curl
    Explanation
    The given exercises are all variations of biceps exercises. The standing barbell curl and standing dumbbell curl are both classic exercises that target the biceps muscles. The preacher curl is a variation that specifically isolates the biceps by using a preacher bench. The hammer curl is another variation that targets both the biceps and the brachialis muscle. The close grip bench press, however, is not a biceps exercise but rather a triceps exercise.

    Abdominals exercises.

    • Crunch

    • Hanging knee raise

    • Twisting crunch

    • Oblique crunch

    • T- bar row

    • Lying leg curl

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Crunch
    A. Hanging knee raise
    A. Twisting crunch
    A. Oblique crunch
    Explanation
    The given answer includes a list of abdominal exercises, specifically the crunch, hanging knee raise, twisting crunch, and oblique crunch. These exercises target the abdominal muscles and help strengthen and tone them. These exercises involve movements that engage the core muscles and promote core stability. The t-bar row and lying leg curl are not abdominal exercises and do not directly target the abs.

    Hamstrings exercises.

    • Stiff- legged dead lift

    • Lying leg curl

    • Side leg raise

    • Seated leg raise

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Stiff- legged dead lift
    A. Lying leg curl
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Stiff-legged deadlift, lying leg curl." These exercises specifically target the hamstrings, which are the muscles located at the back of the thigh. Stiff-legged deadlifts involve bending forward at the hips while keeping the legs straight, putting emphasis on the hamstrings. Lying leg curls also isolate the hamstrings by flexing the knees against resistance while lying on a bench. The other two exercises mentioned, side leg raises and seated leg raises, do not primarily target the hamstrings but rather focus on other muscles such as the glutes and quadriceps.

    Chest exercises.

    • Barbell Bench press

    • Pull- up

    • Flat- bench dumbbell press

    • Dip

    • Dumbbell shrug

    • Incline dumbbell press

    • Flat- Bench Flye

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Barbell Bench press
    A. Flat- bench dumbbell press
    A. Dip
    A. Incline dumbbell press
    A. Flat- Bench Flye
    Explanation
    These exercises are all variations of chest exercises that target different areas of the chest muscles. The Barbell Bench press is a classic exercise that primarily works the middle and lower chest muscles. The Flat-bench dumbbell press also targets the middle and lower chest muscles, but it allows for a greater range of motion and engages more stabilizer muscles. The Dip exercise primarily targets the lower chest muscles and also engages the triceps and shoulders. The Incline dumbbell press targets the upper chest muscles and helps to create a well-rounded chest development. Lastly, the Flat-Bench Flye exercise isolates the chest muscles and helps to develop the outer chest.

    Traps exercises.

    • Dumbbell shrug

    • Upright row

    • Barbell pull down

    • Reverse- grip pressdown

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Dumbbell shrug
    A. Upright row
    Explanation
    The given exercises, dumbbell shrug and upright row, are both traps exercises. The dumbbell shrug specifically targets the trapezius muscle, which is responsible for shoulder and neck movement. It involves lifting dumbbells with the shoulders and squeezing them at the top to engage the traps. The upright row also targets the traps along with other muscles like the deltoids and biceps. It involves lifting a barbell or dumbbells close to the body, with the elbows pointing upwards, to work the upper back and shoulder muscles. Both exercises help in strengthening and building the traps.

    Shoulder Exercises.

    • Seated dumbbell press

    • Dumbbell shrug

    • Lateral dumbbell raise

    • Crunches

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Seated dumbbell press
    A. Lateral dumbbell raise
    Explanation
    The correct answer includes the exercises "Seated dumbbell press" and "Lateral dumbbell raise." These exercises specifically target the shoulder muscles. The seated dumbbell press helps to strengthen the deltoids, triceps, and upper chest muscles. It is performed by sitting on a bench with dumbbells in hand and pressing them overhead. The lateral dumbbell raise primarily targets the lateral deltoids, which are responsible for shoulder width and stability. This exercise involves lifting dumbbells to the sides while maintaining a slight bend in the elbows. Both exercises are effective for building shoulder strength and improving overall upper body stability.

    Lower back exercises.

    • Back extension

    • Sit ups

    • Lying torso raise

    • Stiff leg dead lift

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Back extension
    A. Stiff leg dead lift
    Explanation
    Back extension and stiff leg deadlift are both exercises that specifically target the lower back muscles. Back extension involves lying face down on a bench and lifting the upper body using the lower back muscles, while stiff leg deadlift involves bending forward at the hips with straight legs and lifting a weight from the ground using the lower back muscles. Both exercises help to strengthen and tone the lower back, improving posture and reducing the risk of lower back pain or injury. Sit-ups and lying torso raise, on the other hand, primarily target the abdominal muscles and do not directly work the lower back.

    Thighs/ glutes exercises.

    • Back squat

    • Leg press

    • Barbell lunge

    • Leg extension

    • Seated leg curl

    • Seated knee up

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Back squat
    A. Leg press
    A. Barbell lunge
    A. Leg extension
    Explanation
    These exercises are all compound movements that target the thighs and glutes. The back squat, leg press, and barbell lunge are all effective for building strength and muscle in the lower body, as they engage multiple muscle groups simultaneously. The leg extension and seated leg curl specifically target the quadriceps and hamstrings respectively, while the seated knee up targets the hip flexors. Overall, incorporating these exercises into a workout routine can help to develop strong and toned thighs and glutes.

    Upper back exercises.

    • Pull- up

    • Pecs

    • Lat pull down

    • Machine row

    • Seated cable row

    • One arm dumbbell row

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Pull- up
    A. Lat pull down
    A. Seated cable row
    A. One arm dumbbell row
    Explanation
    The given exercises, including pull-up, lat pull down, seated cable row, and one arm dumbbell row, are all upper back exercises. These exercises specifically target the muscles in the upper back, such as the latissimus dorsi, rhomboids, and trapezius. Pull-ups are a compound exercise that engage multiple muscles in the upper back, while lat pull down, seated cable row, and one arm dumbbell row isolate and target specific muscles in the upper back. These exercises are effective for strengthening and building the muscles in the upper back.

    Triceps exercises.

    • Dumbbell overhead extension

    • Close grip bench press

    • Pressdown

    • Dumbbell kickback

    • Bench dip

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Dumbbell overhead extension
    A. Pressdown
    A. Dumbbell kickback
    Explanation
    The correct answer includes exercises that specifically target the triceps muscles. The dumbbell overhead extension, pressdown, and dumbbell kickback are all isolation exercises that primarily work the triceps. These exercises involve extending the arms against resistance, which helps to strengthen and tone the triceps muscles. The other exercises mentioned, close grip bench press and bench dip, also work the triceps to some extent, but they may involve more muscles in the movement compared to the isolation exercises listed in the answer.
