[muscles_from_russels]

Ever wonder what people were really saying in the gym? Here are some common terms and phrases that will help you to learn what is really going on in the gym.

1. In The Zone - Tired and incoherent during a workout. Commonly described out of the gym as "spaced out."

2. Extended Warm-Up - 20 minutes at low tension on the stationary bike then 20 minutes of casual stretching then a shower.

3. "Just One More Rep" - Said to a spotter during a set. Really means: "Lift the weight for me."

4. Forced Reps - For the reluctant exerciser, every single rep of a workout is a forced rep. This is especially true when they have a mean trainer.

5. Hack Squat - The position a cat gets into when he’s coughing up a hairball, commonly mistaken as a leg exercise.

6. "Can I work in with you?" - Translation: "Can I remove all your weights and sweat all over your bench?"

7. Drop Sets - What sometimes happens after doing a hard set of dumbell bench presses. A triple drop set occurs when you drop two dumbells and yourself to the floor.

8. Bulking Up - Name for the phase during which an otherwise healthy trainer will try to get bigger and fatter on purpose.

9. "I’m maxing out" - Translation: "I was going for 6 reps but I put too much weight on the bar and only got 1."

13. Squat rack - The lonliest piece of equipment in the gym.

14. "It’s all you!" - Said by spotter during the last few reps of a set. Translatation: "It’s mostly me."

15. Pro-hormones - Hormones that have lost their amateur status.

16. Meal Replacement Supplement - Cold pizza and warm beer.

17. Clean and Press - Surprisingly enough, it’s a shoulder exercise, not laundry instructions. A variation of it is even known as the Hang Clean and Press.

18. High Intensity Interval Training - Occurs when there are two or more flights of stairs leading up to the gym.

19. Skullcrushers - An exercise where you make like you’re going to bash your own head in with a barbell, a.k.a. lying tricep extensions.
