Criteria used to find exercise alternatives

Same target muscles

We rank alternatives highest when their primary muscles exactly match. i.e: same target muscle, different movement.

Full muscle overlap

Secondary muscles and synergists are scored too, keeping the overall movement pattern close to the original lift.

Equipment considered

Equipment overlap nudges similar-kit options up the list. But we include different-equipment alternatives too so you're never stuck.

What the Ring Y Raise trains

Primary Deltoid Anterior Deltoid Lateral Trapezius Upper Fibers

Secondary Infraspinatus Latissimus Dorsi Rhomboids Serratus Anterior Trapezius Middle Fibers
