Both of these exercises can be extremely beneficial for your overall body and can be a good addition to any workout routine.
Incline Dumbbell Press
For the unversed, an incline dumbbell press is basically pressing dumbbells from the chest by extending the arms up, while sitting at a 30 to 45 incline. This exercise targets your chest, shoulders, and triceps, and tones your upper chest muscles. Doing this exercise will help increase the strength and size of your upper body.
Squats
The squat is a great exercise for your joints and muscles. It helps build strength in your upper and lower body. When performed correctly, this functional exercise helps burn more calories, prevents injuries, strengthens your core, and improves your posture and overall balance.
Rajinikanth is seen performing the exercise on a bench, which is a good idea for someone who wants to perform this exercise in a much safer way. Bench squats or chair squats are still effective, as they can help improve body strength, balance, and mobility, while also reducing the risk of falls.

Coolie Day 7 India Box Office Estimates: Rajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj's crime-drama finds the going tough; Registers another fall
Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, and starring Rajinikanth, observed yet another drop at the box office, grossing just Rs 8 crore in India. The film is ahead of War 2 on a day-on-day basis, after being behind it the day before, courtesy Discount Tuesday. The total collections of Coolie have crossed Rs 250 crore, but a Rs 300 crore India finish still looks uncertain seeing the way that it is dropping each day. Coolie Adds Rs 8 Crore On Day 7 In India; Crosses Rs 250 Crore When It Should Have Already Crossed Rs 300 Crore Coolie 's total collections after Wednesday stand at Rs 256.25 crore. The extended week 1 is headed for Rs 263 crore, compared to War 2's Rs 233 crore. For Coolie to remain as the higher grosser in India and overseas is a feat because War 2 has much wider appeal, and a much bigger audience to cater to. However, given the start that Coolie took, it should have been targetting Rs 450-500 crore in India alone, instead of worldwide. The Day Wise India Gross Collections Of Coolie Are As Under Day India Gross Collections Thursday Rs 75.50 crore Friday Rs 63 crore Saturday Rs 46.25 crore Sunday Rs 40.50 crore Monday Rs 13 crore Tuesday Rs 10 crore Wednesday Rs 8 crore Total Rs 256.25 crore gross in 7 days Coolie Will Be Seen As An Opportunity Lost Because... Coolie is set to end up with collections of under Rs 500 crore. The final numbers will be in the top 5 or top 6 highest grossing Kollywood movies list but that's not saying much when the target was an industry hit. After a record opening and record extended opening weekend, for the movie to end up with the collections just over Rs 450 crore, it will obviously be seen as an opportunity lost. However, that doesn't absolve the movie from the fact that it is a successful movie. It can be a hit provided it starts showing good holds from here, till the rest of its run. Coolie In Theatres

According to Sacnilk, this brings its total domestic collection to approximately ₹ 199 crore at the end of its first week. Despite a strong opening and a steady first six days, the mid-week slump signals a slowdown in footfalls as weekday fatigue sets in. The film's overall Hindi occupancy on Day 7 stood at 9.37%, with regional markets delivering mixed results. City-wise occupancy breakdown Among major cities, Chennai posted the highest occupancy at 20%, with a particularly strong showing during the evening shows (26%).

Meanwhile, key metro cities like Mumbai (9.67%), NCR (9%), and Pune (9%) reported modest attendance across most showtimes. Hyderabad and Lucknow hovered around the 11% mark, while Surat (3%), Chandigarh (6%), and Bhopal (6.33%) registered lower-than-average engagement.

On Wednesday, the Tamil version saw an overall occupancy of 16.74%, while Telugu version recorded 15.19% occupancy. Both regions showed decent weekday traction, contributing steadily to the overall box office tally.

Coolie is directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. (Also read: Lokesh Kanagaraj teases 'solid' interval block for Rajinikanth in Coolie: 'Spent two years planning it') Coolie box office collection day 7: Rajinikanth's Coolie was released in theatres on 14 August, a day before he completed 50 years in the film industry on 15 August. Coolie sees no growth The latest update on Sacnilk states that Coolie has minted its lowest single-day collection so far since its release, at ₹ 5.5 crore. This huge drop is concerning for Coolie, since it has not yet crossed the ₹250 crore mark. Coolie opened to a staggering ₹65 crore.

Unfortunately, there was no growth from there on, as Coolie saw further dip during the weekend, collecting ₹39.5 crore and ₹35.25 crore. The Monday figure stood at ₹12 crore, while Tuesday saw a shocking ₹ 9.5 crore. The total collection now stands at ₹ 221.5 crore after 7 days. About Coolie Meanwhile, the producer of Coolie, Sun TV Network Limited's Sun Pictures, has approached the Madras High Court to challenge the A certificate granted to the Rajinikanth film by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The production firm filed a civil miscellaneous appeal against the CBFC's decision. It was pointed out that anyone who applies for a film certification can appeal before the tribunal within 30 days. Produced by Kalanithi Maran under Sun Pictures, the film stars Rajinikanth, Nagarjuna Akkineni, Soubin Shahir, Upendra, Shruti Haasan, and Sathyaraj in lead roles, alongside Rachita Ram, Reba Monica John, Junior MGR, Kanna Ravi, Monisha Blessy, and Kaali Venkat in supporting roles. The film received mixed reviews for its weak screenplay and chaotic plot.
