Volume - the range of sets and reps in a routine, usually on a per movement basis.

Intensity - the amount of weight lifted over a set volume.

Djidjeetjet - usually asked of a bodybuilder regarding food when they are complaining about not having energy or that they are bonking; e.g. "I think I have low blood sugar...I feel like I'm bonking."
Reply: "Djidjeetjet"?

Djidjeetem - usually asked by a roommate when their protein bars are missing. "Hey where are my protein bars?"
Reply: "Umm....ummm"
"Hey...djidjeetem?"

NEG:
A negative resistance movement. For example, using a weight much heavier than U can bench press normally, and just lowering it slowly resisting the weight from the upright pressed position to the lower most position on the chest...U and the spotter lift it back to the top and then lower again, etc, etc.

BA...are we angry today??

One of the ladies I was training for a national show back in the 80s and I had a running joke about her being more of a man than me...she had a hot hot significant other who was once my wifes administrative assistant. Once I told her that I could at least pee standing up....she retorted...so can I...in the shower. I replied....yeah but how high on the wall?

Triple drop sets or drop sets - We call em drop sets. You may call them something different.

What they are -

1. Take a lift to failure after about six to ten reps whatever your rep range is.
2. Drop ten % or ten pounds depending on the exercise and go to failure.
3. Drop ten % or ten pounds and go to failure again.
That's one set. Do not rest only rest between sets. I would recommend resting about 2 to 2 1/2 minutes.

The people Ive talked to recommend about three sets. This is very intense training and I love it!
