Exercise guides

Last updated: 15 October 2026

Written guides for common strength exercises: how to set up, how to perform each rep, the mistakes that come up most often and which muscles do the work. The PulseLyf app also includes animated demos inside the workout logger.

How to do a Preacher Curl correctly

A curl with the upper arms supported on a pad, which keeps the biceps working through the movement and limits body swing.

How to do a Romanian Deadlift correctly

A hip hinge that lowers a barbell or dumbbells along the legs, loading the hamstrings and glutes with the knees only softly bent.

How to do a Goblet Squat correctly

A squat holding one weight against the chest, which makes it a good way to practise a deep, upright squat pattern.

How to do a Dumbbell Fly correctly

A wide, arcing chest movement with a fixed slight elbow bend. It emphasises the stretch and squeeze of the chest rather than pressing weight up.

How to do a Face Pull correctly

A cable pull toward the face with a rope attachment, aimed at the upper back and rear shoulders.

How to do a Hanging Leg Raise correctly

A raise from a dead hang that works the hip flexors and lower abdominals. Control matters more than height.
