Chest | Pectoral Major (pulls arms towards chest lifts ribs) |
Front of arm | Biceps (raises forearm) |
Back of arm | Triceps (lowers arm) |
Mid-Upper back | Latissimus Dorsi (moves ribs) |
Abs | Rectus Abdominus |
Love Handles | External Oblique (flattens abdomen) |
Upper Butt | Gluteus Medius |
Lower but | Gluteus Maximus |
Upper Thigh | Sartorius (rotates thigh) |
Back of thigh | Hamstring Muscle (bends leg at knee) |

Tailbone | Coccyx |
Upper leg bone | Femur |
Knee Cap | Patella |
Lower leg bones | Tibia & Fibula |
Pre toes | Metatarsal Bones |
Number of consecutive efforts (contractions) in any given exercise | Repetition |
Beginning with full flexion and extension of movement | Full range of motion |
Series of striations (strands+bellies ) which make up a larger one | Muscle group |
#1 priority. Be like the tortise! | Safety First |
Connects bone to bone | Ligament |
Connects bone to muscle | Tendon |
Waste product of muscular contraction | Lactic acid |
Smaller groups of muscle which are distinctly separated but make up a larger body | Muscle bellies |
Safety technique; aide in helping a partner to preform greater | Spotting |
Helping a partner preform after he is no longer able to do it all by himself | Forced repetition |
Muscle shrinkage due to lack of activity | Atrophy |
Muscle increase due to activity load increased | Hypertrophy |
Exercise which improves efficiency of heart, lungs, etc. | Cardiovascular Endurance |
If proper stretching used - lifting will benefit | Warm up technique |
Tightness, packed. Dense muscles weigh more | Muscle density |
Male hormone responsible for muscle development | Testosterone |
Foremost in gaining size and strength without injury | Correct form |
Pure girth | Muscle size |
Out during hard part, give explosiveness | Breathing technique |
1 time lift all out! Test overall strength off muscle group | Maximum lift |
