That's right, TRICEP is spelled TRICEP and not TRICEPT - but you can just get away with TRIS.
ALSO
The big diamond shaped muscle on your back is technically called the TRAPEZOIDS but no one who knows anything uses the whole name these days - it's TRAPS, just TRAPS.
LATISSIMUS DORSI are just LATS, DELTOIDS are DELTS and BICEPTS are BS because they're called BICEPS - no friggin T!
Now read carefully, LATERAL RAISES are a delt exercise, LAT RAISES does not make sense! You can't raise something with your LATS unless you're hanging upside-down like a bat.
MILITARY PRESS is a STANDING BARBELL PRESS with heels close together or touching. So don't say MILITARYS when you mean to say PRESSES standing up. If you want to say that you were pressing siting down then SEATED PRESSES is what you need to say - PRESSES are the already the standing version.
Before you really piss me off:
When competing:
Clean and jerk and the snatch are WEIGHT LIFTING.
Squat, bench press and deadlift are POWERLIFTING.
Doing Dumbell curls with sand filled vinyl plates in your garage is WEIGHT TRAINING.
WEIGHT LIFTERS are POWERFUL, POWERLIFTERS are STRONG and BODYBUILDERS may be both or neither!
While we're at it let me advise you: if you're looking for ADVISE - then you've screwed up - you mean ADVICE.
