These are clips which clamp onto the ends of bars to prevent barbell weight plates from sliding off.

As the name implies, this is fitness equipment accessory made of rubber which is typically placed at the end of a weight horn to reduce the clanging noise when lifters return weight plates. Rubber stoppers also protect the plates from scratches when they collide with the bodies of power cages, squat racks, and the like.

This exercise equipment has two adjustable metal posts which support a barbell either for squats or barbell bench presses. A squat rack typically has several weight horns latched on to adjacent metal rods at the back to accommodate several weight plates.

This is an exercise equipment which has four metal posts connected by horizontal framing and hooks. One can adjust the height of the horizontal bars on the sides which act as a safety net whenever doing squats. Lifters can execute not only squats, but also barbell bench presses, deadlifts, rows, pull-ups, and chin-ups in the power cage.

This is a variation of the traditional deadlift exercise. When performing deficit deadlifts, one performs the exercise as normal. However, the lifter is standing on a barbell plate or elevated platform to increase hip and quadricep involvement.

Also known as reverse lunges, this is a variation of the traditional barbell or dumbbell lunge, where one lunges his legs forward in alternating fashion. The step back lunge works the quadriceps, glutes, adductors, and soleus.

A lower body exercise which targets the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, abudctors, and adductors.

These are exercises which focus solely on one specific muscle group. One advantage of isolation exercises is targeting a muscle group whilst resting the others. Examples include hamstring curls, standing barbell curls, leg extensions, cable pushdowns, standing dumbbell lateral raises, reverse pec-deck flys, dumbbell flys, and straight-arm pulldowns.

This refers to a manufacturing process where the end product is the machine-cut etched grip area on a bar.

These are metal rods which are latched onto the sides of various fitness equipment. These rods jut out so they can handle several weight plates simultaneously. Lifters typically return these plates to the weight horns after finishing their sets.

As the name implies, these are a pair of J-shaped hooks latched onto squat racks and multi-gym equipment where the user places the barbell.

These are a pair of metal accessories which latch onto multi-gym equipment. They act as a safety net for heavy lifts such as squats in case the lifter cannot finish his set.

A compound exercise which involves unsupported forward flexion. T-bar rows work the lats, traps, rhomboids, posterior deltoids, biceps, forearms, Erector spinae, glutes, hamstrings, and quadriceps.

Sleeves refer to the ends of a barbell where the user slides the plates onto. The standard Olympic barbell sleeve is 41 cm. in length and 5 cm. in diameter.

Also known as compound exercises, these refer to movements which target multiple muscle groups simultaneously. Examples of compound movements include bench presses (chest, triceps, anterior deltoids, lats, glutes, rhomboids, and forearms), deadlifts (glutes, hamstrings, core muscles, quads, traps, rhomboids, and lats) , squats (quads, hamstrings, glutes, abdominals, and calves), and farmer’s walks (quads, hamstrings glutes, calves, core muscles, and forearms).

These are built-in pegs typically found at the bottom of fitness machines where users can attach resistance exercise bands.

This is a strength exercise typically performed on a seated row machine or seated cable row machine. Seated rows target the lats, rhomboids, trapezius, and biceps. Variations of this movement include the wide-grip seated row which utilises a straight bar attachment and seated rows with a resistance band.

The lat pulldown is a strength training exercise which primarily targets the lats, the muscles on the back which gives an individual a tapered “V-shape” physique. Typically, one executes this exercise by holding the far ends of a lat pulldown bar whilst sitting down. The pulling movement exerts tension on the lats for muscle growth and strength.

This is a versatile fitness machine which utilises tension to increase muscle pumps and mass. Typical exercises include cable crossovers, biceps curls, triceps pushdowns, chin-ups, hanging leg raises, cable kickbacks, and flat bench cable flys.

This is a type of bar used for faster lifts such as Olympic lifts (particularly the snatch and clean and jerk). These bars typically have high-precision needle-bearing cartridges for faster spins during these lifts.
