Discuss how some exercises and muscles are given odd names in your native language, that dont actually translate to their gringoland name.
Sit-ups are abdominales, yes, but crunches are "cronches", also, dips are "fondos".
Abs are called "cuadritos", biceps are bíceps, and calves are "pantorrillas"

Joshua Ortiz
How do you call the oly lifts? Like clean & jerk.
Logan Hernandez
Kniebeuge literally means knee bend
Lucas Cox
Clean and jerk = reißen und stoßen, which kind of means rip and push.

Jackson Garcia
Most of this are bs >Leg press= Prensa (as in an actual pressing tool) >Crunches= Abs >push ups= Flexiones (no idea why they arent called extensions intead tho) >Dips= fondos (means bottom as in bottom of a hole) >DL translation is ok >Pull ups and chin ups= Dominadas (As in dominating the bar lmao) >No one does wall sits ffs >Bicep=bicho (Bug as in insect) >Tricep=tricho >Traps= Trapos (cloth) >Skullcrusher motion= Frances, as in french (no wonder everyone gave up on them)
Each name is a tiny bit more stupid than the last. Also, squat somewhat near parallel, do heavy deadlifts or any kind of oly exercise and you will be seen as a crosfitter, fuck me

In Brazil Deadlifts are fucking called Levantamento Terra or just Terra Something like The Earth Lifting, or just Earth
The thing is people think any floor pulling exercise like Stiffs or Sumo deadlifts are also Terra, and i also heard people calling Deadlifts >> Stiff, but they are 2 fucking different exercises

>odd even What? Lol no. You're thinking of monkey bars, because you use the one hand on the odd rails and the other on the even rails as you "walk". The pullup bar (as in just the equipment) is also called "odd-even", but the exercise itself is called pulls (έλξεις) >crunches Wherever I've been people call "situps" abs, and "crunches" crunches. I don't bet my dick on that one though.

Brazil has a population of 207,350,000 peaple
Between the population Argentina, Mexico, Venezuela and Colombia, all spanish speaking countries easily go over that number, and that is whitout counting every single other spanish speaking southamerica country.

Mexico is North America.
Population of South America is 422 million. Population of Brazil is 207 million. Add another million for Guyana, Suriname, and French Guyana, and you're at about half of South America not being Spanish speakers.
