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." 10.Cool-down - Sit on a bench and drink from a water bottle while talking about how much more you’ll lift next time. 11.Olympic Bar - Athlete’s nightclub. 12.E-Z Bar - "How dare you! I’m not that type of bar." 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. 20."Hold the contraction at the top and squeeze for 10 seconds" - Said by a personal trainer when he or she wants to punish the client for missing a session.
