REPS: THE NUMBER OF REPETITIONS OR TIMES AN EXERCISE IS REPEATED WITHIN A SINGLE "SET"
SETS: A BASIC UNIT OF A WORKOUT CONTAINING THE NUMBER OF TIMES (REPETITIONS) A SPECIFIC EXERCISE IS DONE.
SUPER SET (SS): PERFORMING TWO EXERCISES BACK TO BACK WITH NO REST IN BETWEEN
TRI SET: PERFORMING THREE EXERCISES BACK TO BACK WITH NO REST IN BETWEEN
PYRAMID SET: PYRAMID TRAINING IS A COLLECTION OF SETS, OF THE THE SAME EXERCISE, THAT START WITH A LIGHT WEIGHT AND HIGHER REPS, BUILDING UP TO A HEAVIER WEIGHT AND FEWER REPS. A FULL PYRAMID TRAINING SET IS AN EXTENSION OF THIS, REDUCING THE WEIGHT AFTER YOU HAVE REACHED THE PEAK, UNTIL YOU COMPLETE THE PYRAMID.
AMRAP: AS MANY REPS AS POSSIBLE
DROP SET: PERFORM AN EXERCISE THEN DROP (REDUCE) WEIGHT AND CONTINUE FOR THE GIVEN REPS
REST: THE ALLOCATED AMOUNT OF TIME YOU SHOULD REST BETWEEN EACH SET
VOLUME: CAN BE MEASURED IN DIFFERENT WAYS, BUT IS GENERALLY DETERMINED BY HOW MANY EXERCISES, SETS, AND REPS YOU COMPLETE. A WORKOUT THAT IS COMPRISED OF 10 EXERCISES, 3 SETS OF 12 REPS EACH HAS MUCH MORE VOLUME THAN A WORKOUT WITH 2 EXERCISES, 3 SETS OF 8 REPS EACH. VOLUME IS ONE MEASURE OF THE INTENSITY OF A WORKOUT.
PULL: THE MUSCLE GROUPS WORKED WITH PULLING MOMENTS ARE THE BACK, BICEPS, HAMSTRINGS, AND GLUTES
PUSH: THE MUSCLE GROUPS WORKED WITH PUSHING MOVEMENTS ARE THE CHEST, TRICEPS, SHOULDERS, QUADS, AND CALVES.
COMPOUND EXERCISE: THESE ARE MULTI-JOINT MOVEMENTS THAT REQUIRE MORE THAN ONE JOINT TO PERFORM THE EXERCISE. FOR EXAMPLE, IN A BENCH PRESS, YOUR SHOULDER JOINT AND ELBOW JOINTS ARE INVOLVED IN THE EXERCISE.
ISOLATION EXERCISE: THESE ARE SINGLE JOINT MOVEMENTS THAT REQUIRE ONLY ONE JOINT TO PERFORM THE EXERCISE. FOR EXAMPLE, A BICEPS CURL ONLY REQUIRES THE ELBOW JOINT.
