    Dont know if its been done before but made me laugh!

    From BODYBUILDING.com

    REAL Gym glossary and their meanings

    1. In The Zone:

    Tired and incoherent during a workout. Commonly described out of the gym as "spaced out."

    2. Extended Warm-Up:

    20 minutes at low tension on the stationary bike then 20 minutes of casual stretching thena shower.

    3. Just One More Rep:

    Said to a spotter during a set. Really means: "Lift the weight for me."

    4. Forced Reps:

    For the reluctant exerciser, every single rep of a workout is a forced rep. This is especially true when they have a mean trainer.

    5. Hack Squat:

    The position a cat gets into when he's coughing up a hairball, commonly mistaken as a leg exercise.

    6. Can I Work In With You?:

    Translation: "Can I remove all your weights and sweat all over your bench?"

    7. Drop Sets:

    What sometimes happens after doing a hard set of dumbell bench presses. A triple drop set occurs when you drop two dumbells and yourself to the floor.

    8. Bulking Up:

    Name for the phase during which an otherwise healthy trainer will try to get bigger and fatter on purpose.

    9. I'm Maxing Out!:

    Translation: "I was going for 6 reps but I put too much weight on the bar and only got 1."

    10. Cool-Down:

    Sit on a bench and drink from a water bottle while talking about how much more you'll lift nexttime.

    11. Olympic Bar:

    Athlete's nightclub.

    12. E-Z Bar:

    "How dare you! I'm not that type of bar."

    13. Squat Rack:

    The lonliest piece of equipment in the gym.

    14. It's All You!:

    Said by spotter during the last few reps of a set. Translatation: "It's mostly me."

    15. Pro-Hormones:

    Hormones that have lost their amateur status.

    16. Meal Replacement Supplement:

    Cold pizza and warm beer.

    17. Clean And Press:

    Surprisingly enough, it's a shoulder exercise, not laundry instructions. A variation of it is even known as the Hang Clean and Press.

    18. High Intensity Interval Training:

    Occurs when there are two or more flights of stairs leading up to the gym.

    19. Skullcrushers:

    An exercise where you make like you're going to bash your own head in with a barbell, a.k.a. lying tricep extensions.

    20. Hold It At The Top:
