Bodybuilding Glossary
Written by admin on October 09, 2009
Much of the terminologies used by bodybuilders can be frightening or just too much for the beginner bodybuilder. Here are some definitions to help you on your way to understanding what everyone is talking about:
Abdominal Region: or abs – the muscles located in the stomach area.
Anabolic Steroids: synthetic molecules that are designed to have the same effect as testosterone, these can have similar side effects to testosterone.
Barbell: a long bar to which weights can be attached to either end (commonly used for bench press).
Bench Press: the most fundamental lift. Done while lying on your back, the bench press involves the barbell or dumbbells being lifted from the chest straight upwards.
