WORK PROCESS
TRAINING GLOSSARY
Key terms. Clear definitions. Smarter training.
HYPERTROPHY
Muscle growth that happens when you consistently push a muscle past what it's used to, then recover and rebuild it bigger.
PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD
Gradually adding weight, reps, or difficulty over time so your body keeps adapting instead of stalling.
RM
1RM
One-rep max: the heaviest weight you can lift once with full, correct form. Most strength programs are built as a percentage of it.
COMPOUND LIFT
An exercise that works several joints and muscles at once — squats, deadlifts, presses — as opposed to an isolation move.
BULKING
A phase of eating in a calorie surplus to support muscle and strength gains, usually with some fat gain too.
ISOMETRIC
Holding a muscle under tension without moving — a wall sit or plank — instead of moving the joint through a range of motion.
