Increasing your understanding of the science behind flabby arms is a great way to increase your probability of sexy arm success. Why? Because the more you know, the less likely it is that you will be duped into doing an ineffective program.

You may run into some stumbling blocks, however. One stumbling block will be all the new vocabulary you will encounter. After all, as knowledge becomes more deep so does the vocabulary to describe said knowledge.

Thus, here are some common exercise terms that you should know in order to take your flabby arm knowledge to the next level:

1. A concentric contraction. Whenever one of your muscles makes one of your bones move it shortens. There are little proteins called myosin and actin which hook onto each other and pull together. When you do a bicep curl, your bicep shortens and forms a bulge, for instance.

2. Negative, eccentric contractions. This portion of the exercise is considered a crowned jewel for many bodybuilders. Why? Because it causes a lot of muscle damage which translates into a lot of muscle growth. When doing a shoulder press, for instance, slowly bringing the weight back down after pushing it up is the negative or eccentric portion of the movement.

3. An exercise movement. This is the completion of an exercise through its entire range of motion. There is a start point a mid point and an end point. Another way to look at this definition is the completion of the eccentric and concentric portion of an exercise.

4. The repetition unit. One repetition is the unit of an exercise. It involves doing an exercise through all its different portions without any rest between portions. Learning how to perform one repetition of an exercise with flawless form is essential before moving on to more advanced techniques.

5. One complete set. A set is a grouping of consecutive repetitions without substantial rest in between said repetitions. There are some advanced types of sets such as drop sets and super sets. In which you do the same exercise over and over again with lower weights or when you combine the set of one exercise with the set of another exercise without ANY rest.

Hopefully, the terminology explained in this article will help you navigate through some of the more complex exercise information out there. And deepening your knowledge on flabby arms is a sound strategy to avoid a lot of wasted time with ineffective programs.
