If you’re diving into the gym world, getting familiar with common terms can make your workouts smoother and more effective. Here’s a quick guide to some useful gym terminology:
Reps (Repetitions): This refers to the number of times you perform a specific exercise. For example, if you do 10 push-ups, that’s 10 reps.
Sets: A set is a group of repetitions. If you do 10 push-ups, rest, then do 10 more, you’ve completed two sets.
AMRAP (As Many Reps As Possible): This means you perform as many repetitions of an exercise as you can within a given time frame or until you reach muscle failure.
PB (Personal Best): This is the highest amount of weight or the best performance you've achieved in a particular exercise or workout.
1RM (One Rep Max): This is the maximum amount of weight you can lift for a single repetition of a given exercise. It's a benchmark for measuring strength.
Superset: This involves performing two exercises back-to-back with minimal rest in between. For example, doing a set of squats immediately followed by a set of lunges.
Understanding these terms can help you follow workout plans more effectively and communicate better with your gym buddies and trainers. Happy lifting! 💪
