In Class: Insider lingo

Max out: lifting as much weight as you can, one time. Weight may vary depending on the type of lift.

Reps: the number of times one lifts/bench presses/curls/etc. a set of weights

MBB/FBB: male body builder/female body builder

racking up: putting the weights back in their place once a work out is finished

Press: a lift in which the individual lays on his/her back and grasps a bar with weights on each end and lifts in an up and down motion above the chest. (ex: "I pressed 250" means one did this exercise with 250 lbs. on the bar)
