What are jammers? My favorite is a yoga move called the plank to work your abs.

Jammers can be done on a squat machine sometimes. They are sort of like power cleans but the weight stays on your shoulders. First the weight is on your shoulders with in a squat position, then the legs are extended all the way to your toes from there push up with your arms till they are straight. Confusing I know sorry.

I love any variation of curls, mostly 21's though. I also like decline bench press, and dumbell bench press.

For some reason I love doing pull ups and seated pull downs. I can feel that burn in my lats and I love it.

I like doing weighted dips. Like Jsom said, it kinda gives you that instant satisfaction. But mostly anything that involves triceps I wish I could do every day.

my favorite? never thought of it. I guess maybe the Cable Curl w/straight bar cuz I can really push myself to lift heavier or get an extra rep each time. for chest it's decline chest press. the worst?...squats and leg extensions. those really kill my legs for some reason.

Here are my favorites:
Biceps - 21's
Triceps -- skull-crusher
Chest -- chest press
Back -- biangular lat row (this is done on a Magnum machine)
Quads -- 45-degree sled leg press
Hamstrings -- straight-legged deadlift with barbell

Pain is only temporary, it is in your mind. If you can still walk, then you can still run.

Crunches all the way. In boot I told my DI that I could do 140 in 2 minutes. He laughed of course, then grabbed my XO to laugh at me together. My XO told me that he can't even do that and it can't be done (of course it must be impossible if he couldn't do it).

I did 160 in 2 minutes.

Nicest thing my DI ever said to me.... "Wow White, good job, now get the F### out of my face!". LOL
