Exercises Odd One Out: Muscles, Lifts & Gym Equipment
Each round shows four options from the gym. Three of them belong to the group in the question. One does not. You tap the one that does not belong.
The groups cover the whole gym: which exercises train the chest, the back, the legs and the core, compound and isolation lifts, barbell and dumbbell exercises, gym equipment, powerlifting and strongman, CrossFit workouts, yoga, Pilates and the names of the muscles.
The traps are the point. The leg curl is a curl and trains the hamstrings, not the biceps. The teres major sits next to the rotator cuff and is not part of it. The front squat is a squat, but a powerlifting meet does not use it. Each round ends with one line that explains the answer.
How to play
Each round asks one question, for example "Which of these exercises does NOT mainly train the chest?".
Read the question. Then tap the option that does not belong.
You get one pick for each round. There are no second guesses.
The quiz marks your answer immediately. It also gives one line that explains the answer.
You start with three lives. The hearts in the top bar show the lives that you have.
A correct answer gives one point. A wrong answer costs one life.
A round that costs a life gives no points. The quiz continues with the next round.
The run ends when you lose the third life. It also ends when you play every round in the run.
Select "Review rounds" on the result screen to see each round that you played.
What counts in this quiz
50 groups from the gym. One run uses 50 of them. The rounds, the options and the impostor are drawn fresh every run, so two runs do not ask the same set of questions.
Every option is clearly in the group or clearly out of it. No round has two possible answers.
A muscle-group round follows the exercise directories: an exercise joins a group only when that group is its main target.
Your score is the number of correct answers. The maximum score is 50, which is every round in one run.
A wrong answer costs one life. You keep the points that you have.
The timer counts up from your first pick. It only separates equal scores on the leaderboard.
What's not included, and why
Exercises that two muscle groups can claim equally are not used as impostors. The Romanian deadlift trains the hamstrings and the glutes, so it only appears where both sides agree.
No made-up exercises on the member side. An invented name appears only as the impostor, and the reveal says so.
No diet or nutrition questions. The quiz asks what you do in the gym, not what you eat after it.
Good to know
The burpee is named after Royal H. Burpee, an American physiologist. He created the movement in 1939 as a fitness test.
An Olympic weightlifting meet has only two lifts, the snatch and the clean and jerk. The clean and press was dropped after 1972.
The hamstrings are three muscles, not one: the biceps femoris, the semitendinosus and the semimembranosus.
The Murph workout honours Lieutenant Michael Murphy. It is a one-mile run, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 squats and another mile.
