I own these PowerBlock Elite adjustable dumbbells and use them all the time—you'll see them in my TikTok workouts. Paired with my adjustable bench, they form the core of my home lifting setup. They are worth considering if you want several weight opt...

A soft-bodied kettlebell option to compare for a compact home workout space. The grip and construction are the reasons it stands out from a conventional cast-iron bell. Check which weights are included in the selected option and whether the handle su...
PAETA Soft Kettlebells — 10, 15 & 20 lb Options
After trying this Element 26 belt across several workouts, it became my favorite lifting belt. I like the flexible feel and self-locking closure compared with a thick, rigid leather belt. It is worth a look if comfort and easy adjustment matter to yo...
Element 26 Self Locking
I use Nordic lifting straps on selected back-day exercises when I want to focus on the movement instead of having my grip end the set first. I don't use them for every set. They are a small addition to a gym bag for lifters doing rows and similar pul...

I wear these Gymreapers knee sleeves for heavy squats and some leg-machine work. They help me feel more stable and confident, and I like the skull design. They are an optional addition for lifters who enjoy the feel of sleeves on leg day; they are no...

Setup & Exercise Guides
Begin with 00, the official two-wedge overview, then choose 01 Magnetic Setup or 02 U-Hook Setup for your equipment. Use 03–06 for machine exercises, 07–10 for floor squats, and 11–14 for box/platform applications and hinges. Several floor and platfo...
Start with this official TORQ overview before choosing an individual exercise. TORQ places it first on its setup page to introduce the two-wedge system. Watch the demonstrated arrangement, then use the magnetic or U-hook guide that matches your equip...
00 • Start Here — How to Use the Two Wedge System
Start here before using a machine. TORQ’s official video demonstrates the magnetic attachment system. Follow its placement and contact requirements, test for movement before loading, and check that the grip surface is clean. A metal-looking footplate...
01 • Magnetic Setup — Secure the Wedge First
TORQ’s official U-hook demonstration explains the alternative attachment setup. Match the hook to your footplate, follow the demonstrated orientation, and check that nothing obstructs the machine’s moving parts or safety stops. Test the assembly with...
02 • U-Hook Setup — Fit the Footplate
Watch TORQ’s official leg-press setup, then reduce your usual load while learning the new position. Keep your pelvis supported against the pad and lower only as far as you can control without it rolling away. Press smoothly through supported feet. Ke...
03 • Leg Press — Control Your Depth
Follow TORQ’s placement demonstration and set the machine’s safeties before a light trial. Keep your torso supported by the pads and let the knees track in line with the feet. Choose a depth you can control without bouncing. Record your stance and we...
04 • Hack Squat — Make Every Rep Repeatable
Pendulum machines differ, so use this official demonstration to understand the setup rather than forcing an identical stance. Begin light, stay supported by the pads, and check clearance through the movement. Use a controlled range without the wedge ...
05 • Pendulum Squat — Work With the Machine
Use TORQ’s official belt-squat demo to establish placement. Check clearance for the belt, chain, or cable before loading. Find a balanced stance, keep your feet planted, and avoid pulling yourself through the rep with the handles. The wedge must not ...
06 • Belt Squat — Keep Belt and Cable Clear
TORQ’s combined floor-squat tutorial covers barbell, goblet, and dumbbell applications. For barbell squats, start with an empty bar and set rack safeties. Brace before descending and maintain pressure through supported feet. Choose a comfortable conf...
07 • Barbell Squat — Practice the New Angle
Hold one weight close to your chest and explore the wedge with a light load. Lower under control, keep your elbows clear of your knees, and stand without rocking onto your toes. This links to TORQ’s shared barbell/goblet/dumbbell tutorial, making it ...
08 • Goblet Squat — Learn the Wedge With a Light Load
A kettlebell held at your chest is one way to load a goblet squat. Keep it close and establish balance before each set. Use a manageable weight while learning the wedge. The linked official video is TORQ’s shared floor-squat tutorial, not a separate ...
09 • Kettlebell Squat — Start With a Goblet Hold
Use the dumbbell options in TORQ’s combined floor-squat tutorial. Start with one dumbbell in a goblet hold, or use two only when you can keep them controlled and clear of the platform. Keep your feet supported and avoid letting the weights pull you o...
10 • Dumbbell Squat — Choose a Controlled Hold
Start with the box-assembly portion of TORQ’s combined platform tutorial. Follow the demonstrated configuration rather than improvising a stack. Check that every component is seated and that your feet have adequate support. Practice stepping on and o...
11 • Box Setup — Build a Stable Platform
Use the Bulgarian split-squat portion of TORQ’s shared platform video. Establish a steady stance with bodyweight first and a stable rear-foot support. Keep the front foot planted and lower under control. Add weight only once balance is reliable. Extr...
12 • Bulgarian Split Squat — Balance Before Load
This upper-body option is included in TORQ’s combined platform demonstration. Elevation provides clearance for the weight, but use only the range you can control with a steady torso. Keep the platform stable and avoid turning the row into a hip drive...
13 • Deficit Row — A Bonus for Pull Day
Watch the deficit-RDL portion of TORQ’s combined platform tutorial. Learn a standard floor RDL first: push the hips back, keep a soft knee bend, and hold the weight close. Stop lowering when you can no longer maintain a controlled hip hinge and stead...
