Fitness glossary

Strength and training

• E1RM: E1RM, short for estimated one-rep max, is the heaviest weight you could lift for one repetition, worked out from a set you actually did rather than a maximal single.
• Progressive overload: Progressive overload is the practice of gradually increasing the demand of your training over time, so your body keeps having a reason to adapt.
• Deload: A deload is a planned, temporary reduction in training load or volume, usually for about a week, meant to let accumulated fatigue fade before you build again.
• Rest interval: A rest interval is the time you wait between the end of one set and the start of the next.
• Volume load: Volume load is the total weight you moved: for each set, multiply the reps by the weight, then add up the sets.
• Relative strength: Relative strength is how much you lift compared with how much you weigh, usually shown as a ratio such as 1.5 times bodyweight.
• 1000 lb total: The 1000 lb total is the combined best one-rep max of your barbell squat, bench press and deadlift, and the 1000 pound club recognises totals of 1,000 lb (453.6 kg) or more.
• PR (personal record): A PR, or personal record, is your best result so far on a particular lift, cardio effort or workout.
• Failure reps: Training to failure means continuing a set until you cannot complete another repetition with good form; the failure rep is the attempt you could not finish.
• Belt reps: A belt set, sometimes called belt reps, is a set performed while wearing a lifting belt around the waist.

Cardio

• Cardio Score: Cardio Score is One Fitness Hub's single number for a cardio session: the activity's MET value for your average speed, multiplied by minutes and divided by 20.

WODs

• WOD: A WOD, or workout of the day, is a single programmed workout, usually a mix of movements done for time, rounds or reps, common in CrossFit-style and functional fitness training.
• AMRAP: AMRAP stands for "as many rounds as possible": you repeat a set of movements for a fixed time, and your score is the rounds and extra reps you complete.
• EMOM: EMOM stands for "every minute on the minute": at the start of each minute you do a set amount of work, and the time left in that minute is your rest.
• Rx and Scaled: Rx means a workout done as written, Scaled means it was adjusted to suit you, and Rx+ means it was harder than written.

Nutrition

• TDEE: TDEE, or total daily energy expenditure, is an estimate of all the calories you use in a day, including resting energy and activity.
• BMR: BMR, or basal metabolic rate, is an estimate of the energy your body uses at rest, before any daily activity.
• Macros: Macros, short for macronutrients, are the three nutrients that provide calories: protein, carbohydrate and fat.
• Fasting window: A fasting window is the stretch of time, usually a set number of hours, during which you choose not to eat, followed by an eating window.
