Picture the equipment floor of a gym and the movements people do with arms, shoulders and back while their hips stay put. Only countable strength movements loading the arms, shoulders, chest or back count; running, jumping, whole-body lifts and stretches do not.

How to approach it

There is no shortcut here beyond enumerating systematically and then refining. Take the main patterns one at a time: pushing away from the chest, pressing overhead, pulling down or toward the body, raising the arms sideways or forward, bending the elbow, and gripping or hanging. For each pattern, walk through body positions, hand orientations, equipment types, tempos and ranges of motion, and write down every combination that a coach would recognise as its own named movement. Then push into the specialist vocabularies of gymnastics, calisthenics, strongman training and rehabilitation, where variations carry long descriptive labels. Keep the pace quick and write freely first; pruning obvious full-body entries is far easier than trying to judge each idea before it is written down.

Get a hint

Start with the big movement families people learn first: pressing something away from the torso, pulling something toward it, and lifting a weight through a bent arm.

A little more

Then widen to support and hold positions, where the body stays still on straight arms, hangs from a bar or braces on the hands, since those count as strength work rather than stretching.

One step further

Finally, drill into the technical and niche names lifters, gymnasts and calisthenics athletes use for variations of those patterns, because long and unusual labels are exactly what this list rewards.

Why these answers count

Scoring on this kind of list tracks how ordinary a name is. The single hundred-point entry is the one the widest slice of solvers reached, while the enormous middle band sitting at eighty-five is where most competent, specific answers land: names such as Archer dip, Axle press, Batwing row or Bradford press are all recognisable to someone who trains, yet none of them is the first phrase a casual respondent types. The sixty-point tier holds picks that are real but narrower or more apparatus-dependent, so fewer people converge on them. Rarity pays because the reveal scores a name by how few respondents matched it, which means the exotic end of the vocabulary is where the upside sits: a long, technical label describing an unusual grip, angle or support has almost no competition. The trade-off is risk, since an invented or misremembered name scores nothing at all, so the practical target is genuine but obscure rather than merely strange.
