4.2. Barbell Mode
The barbell configuration is suitable for compound movements and heavier lifts. Examples include:
- Squats: Place the barbell across your upper back, stand with feet shoulder-width apart, and lower your body as if sitting in a chair.
- Bench Press: Lie on a bench, hold the barbell above your chest with an overhand grip, and press upwards.
- Deadlifts: Stand with feet hip-width apart, bend at the hips and knees to grasp the barbell, and lift by extending your hips and knees.
4.3. Kettlebell Mode
Kettlebells are excellent for dynamic, full-body workouts and improving functional strength. Examples include:
- Kettlebell Swings: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, hold the kettlebell with both hands, and swing it between your legs and up to chest height using hip drive.
- Goblet Squats: Hold the kettlebell by the horns against your chest, and perform a squat.

Using the kettlebell handles as push-up stands can increase the range of motion for push-ups, enhancing chest and shoulder engagement. Ensure the handles are stable on a non-slip surface before beginning.
