01 / Movement intelligence

Movement technique.

Move from seeing a lift to understanding how to approach it. Keep the demonstration and written guidance within reach of your session.

Movement video

Watch published U8L demonstrations for supported movements. See the setup and execution rather than relying on a name alone.

How to perform it

Read the starting position, movement sequence and finishing position. Return to the part you need before a set.

Coaching notes

Look through practical cues, common errors and cautions to understand the movement more fully.

Movement identity

Navigate names, equipment and variations while keeping the underlying movement clear.

02 / Movement intelligence

Muscle and joint involvement.

Interactive 3D anatomy makes the underlying information easier to explore. Move between the lift, the muscles involved and the joints that participate.

Muscles

Inspect primary, secondary and stabilising roles. Move from an anatomical view into the supporting movement detail.

Joints

Understand which joints are involved and explore the related movement guidance and cautions.

Multiple views

Explore the body from different angles and focus on the area you want to understand.

Useful context

The anatomy view describes movement involvement. It does not measure your individual muscle growth, activation or joint health.

03 / Movement intelligence

Reference material and training history.

Open the reference when you need it, then return to the session, programme or history that prompted the question.

Alternatives

Inspect related movements and equipment options before choosing a swap. Keep the original plan visible in the training record.

Your history

See earlier recorded sets for the movement, including relevant strength records.

Programme context

Understand where the lift appears in your programme and how the planned sets compare with what you completed.

Library depth

Explore 900+ movement definitions, 3,500+ names and aliases, 150+ muscle references and 30+ joint references. Video coverage varies by movement.
