| After completing one or more consecutive repetitions | Set |
| Jawbone | Mandible |
| Neck | Sterno-Mastoid (turns head) |
| Trap | Trapezius (raises shoulders) |
| Shoulder | Deltoid (lifts Arm) |
| 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) |
| Calf | Gastrocnemius (raises heel) |
| Head | Skull |
| Collar bone | Clavicle |
| Shoulder blade | Scapula |
| Breast Bone/Chest Plate | Sternum |
| Upper arm bone | Humerus |
| Back | Spine |
| Lower arm Bones | Radius & Ulna |
| Lowest Vertebrae | Sacrum |
| 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 |
