What don't you understand? Most of it isn't difficult.

Part of what maintains a culture is it's dialect.
Here it's a barrier to newfags.
If you want to understand you can lurk and google.

If you knew all the terminology right off the bat, then you'd learn that this place is literally figuratively cancer within a week. You're not supposed to actually realize this for several months at least, at which point it's too late to escape.

>Intensity
% of one rep max
>Volume
setsxreps
>Tonnage
setsxrepsxweight
>Frequency
How many times you work something per week
>MRV
Maximum recoverable volume i.e. the most volume you can do without detriment
>MEV
Minimum effective volume i.e. minimum volume required to maintain
>Fatigue
If you work the same bodypart over and over it will begin to develop fatigue and eventually may lose performance if this fatigue isn't managed properly.
>Deload
One method of managing fatigue where you lift lighter weights for however long you decide to alleviate fatigue
>Progressive overload
This means any increase in performance. This can be an increase in weight, and increase in reps, an increase in sets, decrease in rest between sets, increased tempo, progressive ROM, etc., contrary to popular belief there is more than one way to achieve progressive overload. Weight is the most popular method however because it's the simplest, easiest to keep track of, and eventually you get to the point where you're overreaching your volume.
>CNS
Central nervous system. Your muscles are not the only thing that you need to make sure is recovered, your central nervous system will get fried from working out too often too aggressively however with experience it will begin to adapt much better and be able to handle that kind of stress, this is why guys like Eric Bugenhagen are maxing every day with insane numbers and evade injuries.
>OP
A faggot

That's all you really need to know desu. Volume, intensity and frequency are probably the most important.

one of the best pieces of advice for a beginner is to get a squat plug. Squats are one of the best exercises and using a squat plug from the start will save you from having to adapt later on.

Gear

The only way you're going to look like these youtubers and chad is gear.

You should say "brap" if you ever encounter an attractive woman, as this tells her you're interested. It's best to draw it out like "bbbbbbbrrrrrrraaaaaaapppppppppp". Try it in real life.
