Confusing fitness terms
Manage episode 307286352 series 2611410
One of my biggest frustrations with the fitness industry is confusing terms. Often there is a mix-up with technical definitions and colloquial use of terms - words like progressive overload, protein synthesis, fatigue, lean mass, intensity, failure/training to failure, hypertrophy, water, bloating, and so on.
In this episode I try to clear up what we mean by these terms, because it has implications for understanding messages in research and social media.
