Gainz can only be obtained from Pre-Workout, Intra-Workout, Post-Workout drinks, branded gym clothing & Instagram posts – very hard to detect to a naked eye.

The number of adjustable positions available on the equipment.

The height of a bench-press is measured from the floor to the highest point on the device. For adjustable benches, however, this is not measured in an upright (incline) position, rather the height is taken while in a flat position. This allows for a better frame of reference when comparing to other non-adjustable weight benches.

Zumba is an exercise class which combines step aerobics and Latin dance rhythms. Several of its variations include Zumba Gold, Zumba Step, Zumba Toning, Aqua Zumba, and Zumba Sentao.

Working sets refer to the actual strength training sets of your workout. These exclude the warm-up and cool down sets which are done before and after the working sets, respectively.

When another individual wants to work in with you at the gym, he is asking if it’s all right to take turns using a machine you’re already using. Whilst you’re resting, he will crank out reps on the machine.

Volume pertains to the total amount of weight or resistance an individual lifts during a workout. One can compute the total volume by multiplying the total weight, reps, and sets for that exercise session.

Individuals with chiseled physiques have a V-taper, which refers to a V-shaped torso as a result of having wide shoulders and a small waistline. Many bodybuilders have a V-tapered upper body.

This refers to TRX® suspension training, which relies mainly on heavy-duty adjustable straps so your body weight and gravity create the resistance for the exercises. Examples include TRX® push-ups and TRX® chest presses.

This term refers to the triceps muscles, which are found on the posterior portion of the upper arms. The triceps help extend the arm at the elbow and support the rotator cuff muscles.

This is an indoor cardiovascular exercise machine which lets you walk, jog, or run in place. Many treadmills allow the user to do cardio on an inclined surface, therefore increasing the intensity level.

When you train to failure, the weight you are lifting is heavy enough that you struggle to complete the last couple of reps while maintaining correct technique and form.

Lee Priest says, “When you say failure, I never got to the point where I had to drop something or I fell down… If I had a spotter there, I’d get to the point where I probably couldn’t push it and he’d just have to give me just a tiny bit.”

The general rule is if you’re going for 10 reps and you get to 8 easy then it’s time to add more weight. The last two reps that you’re aiming for should be a struggle.

When you do time under tension (TUT) training, you place stress on your muscles during your set. For instance, you slow down each repetition of your strength training exercise to gain more muscle mass.

Testosterone is the male sex hormone. Health experts believe sufficient testosterone levels help build muscle mass.

Tempo refers to how fast you lift a weight during your workout. Experts believe lifting faster during the eccentric (positive) phase than the concentric (negative) phase helps trigger muscle growth.

A supinated or underhand grip helps activate other muscle groups. Typical exercises which employ a supinated grip include barbell curls, pull ups, and kettlebell rows.

When you do stacking, you add more weights to your lifts so you can achieve your muscle-building and strength goals. For example, stacking an additional 10 kg on the bench press can help you build impressive pectoral muscles.

Stability refers to one’s ability to control joint movement or position. The body’s tissues and neuromuscular system make stability possible.

Squats are a compound movement which one can perform either with a barbell or dumbbell. When you lower yourself in a squatting position, you hit your quads, hamstrings, glutes, core, and calves.

When you spot for a lifter at the gym, you guide and assist him during his lift. If he is unable to finish his set on his own strength, the spotter will help him lift the bar until he completes it.
