Trying to think of other ones we use frequently. :scratch: Just say if there is anything you don't get.

[Romedoggy]

WOW! I love you guys! I mean I REALLY love you guys.

[Romedoggy]

SHELC
Ali I think you might have answered this one for me already, but I can't find it

supine hip extensions w/ leg curl

Not that that helped a whole lot. You need a vid for that one.

[Romedoggy]

Um..yeah...
I thought I noticed on this site somewhere that you can look them up. I did see that, right?

[Cindy Day]

BF = Body Fat (it's not an exercise, but it is often discussed)

135 X 4 X 6 means
weight X sets X reps

[Ali]

Erik has Noel demo'ing exercises on his site for clients.

You can just google or search youtube, and you'll probably come up with something.

There is this one, but i start with the ball closer to my butt.

What about when it's written like this:
3x8 w/120s rest

Is that 3 sets, 8 reps?

[Romedoggy]

You have to be really coordinated to do that one. Erik lists it in the Basic Primer at the end. What are you working your hamstrings, and bootie?

[Noel Clark]

Yep, exactly :thumb:

[Ali]

I am just editing my first post as we go along so there is a quick list.

[LynnP]

This is great. Sometimes I just can't put my finger on it. I know what they mean but for some reason I get stumped sometimes LOL:blink:

[Romedoggy]

How about PR?

[kelster]

How about PR?

Personal Record

:wink:

[Romedoggy]

Like how much is your max when lifting?

[kelster]

Like how much is your max when lifting?

well it can depend... it can be a one rep max, or your 10rep max at a certain weight...

basically just your personal best...

so for example, squats, you've been working on them and have been doing 3x5... you've been stuck at a weight of 135, never surpassed. then you go and get it for 140, you just had a PR, set a new personal record for that exercise.

does that make sense? :unsure:

[MichelleS]

this is a really good question for the beginners area

[MichelleS]

BBing= bodybuiling

[MichelleS]

SFP= stuborn fat protocol

E/C= ephedrine caffeine stack

[Cindy Day]

What about when it's written like this:
3x8 w/120s rest

Is that 3 sets, 8 reps?

Yes.

[Romedoggy]

CNS?

Ali you are an All Star! I was going to ask you to add SPF, but you beat me to it!

E/C= ephedrine caffeine stack: What post can I read more about this?

[Erik]

CNS?

What are burpees?

[Romedoggy]

Burpee- Plyometrics Exercising Instructions
Start by standing tall and then drop to your hands and end up in push-up form (this may take some practice before you try this at 100% intensity). Stand up as quickly as you can and repeat this process for as many as your coach would like you to do. This sports specific exercise would be great for sports like rugby, or football where you are constantly on the ground and back up again.

[Romedoggy]

Icdoodle,
FYI- You can look-up exercises at Bobybuilding.com. It's pretty sweet because it has a definition, explains what muscle group your using and why, and then shows a video.

[lcdoodle]

Ahh! I remember these from gym class! Thanks!

[Romedoggy]

Found another one: PSMF- Protein Spared Modified Fast

[LaLady]

[Blondell]

FBFL=full body fat loss
NROL=new rules of lifting
NROL4W=new rules of lifting for women

:please:
What are burpees?

I hated these at LSU track practice. They wear you out, but are very effective! once you have done a burpee you probably won't forget how to do it.
