Discuss how some exercises and muscles are given odd names in your native language, that dont actually translate to their gringoland name.

''presas'' can also mean preys

I don't believe you, OP.

Sit-ups are abdominales, yes, but crunches are "cronches", also, dips are "fondos".

Abs are called "cuadritos", biceps are bíceps, and calves are "pantorrillas"

I feel you, everything I've learned about fitness came from english speaking websites. Plus, french exercises' names sound so fucking dumb..

>snatch
>"ah-rah-SEH" (pronounciation. Maybe French?)
>clean & jerk
>"eh-poh-LEH - zeh-TEH" (pronounciation. Maybe French?)
Yep, Arrachés and Épaulé-Jetés are the French names for Snatch and C&J
>Plus, french exercises' names sound so fucking dumb..
They sound perfectly fine and are more consitent than English names. You're just not used to them.

>Mexican

NOSOTROS

German here
DL are Kreuzheben (Backlift)
SQ are Kniebeuge (Squats)
Binch is Bankdrücken (Benchpress)
OHP is Schulterdrücken (Shoulderpress)
Pullups are Klimzug (Pullups)
Dips are Barrenstütze (Barpress)
Most guys in my gym use the english words

How do you call the oly lifts?
Like clean & jerk.

Kniebeuge literally means knee bend

Clean and jerk = reißen und stoßen, which kind of means rip and push.

>gypsy pulls
I've never got my wallet stolen

>bench press is called the lay downie
Downie Jr.?

>be me

>leg press is called "torcular" meaning press
>sit ups and crunches are called "frangi" meaning break
>push ups are called "ventilabis" meaning push
>dips are called "rubro lauit"

>wall sit is called "murum sit"

>abs are called "externus abdominis"
>biceps are called "musculi bicipitis"

finnish pretty much correlates with english

DL is "from-the-ground-lift"
OHP is vertical press
C&J is "onto-the-chest pull & press"

kek

What you call push ups we call the Queen's push
What you call dips we call knackered shouldy pops
What you call deadlift we call big Bertha grabby pulls

The subtlety of a rhinoceros
2/10

thank you for the rating, this was my first post on Veeky Forums and I'm still learning!

Underrated kek

>french

>bp: "unfolding while lying down"
>deadly: "picking up from the ground"

this language is such a meme

abs are also called cuadritos, calves are also pantorrillas. thats the actual name. The ones are said are ames given by peaple

Anda a cagar rolitranco e mamaguevo, ese comentario no tiene sentido

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

>
>>"ah-rah-SEH"
This will sound like arassè.
Arraché : Ah - Rah - SHEY
SH, not S. EY, not EH

>>"eh-poh-LEH - zeh-TEH
This will sound like èpolè- zètè.
Épaulé-jeté : EY - PO - LEY JE - TEY

t. Native language is french. Speaks it daily.

>t. has no notions of phonetics
pronuncian.com/pronounce-zh-sound/
pronuncian.com/pronounce-sh-sound/

Does it occur to you than people writing in an other alphabet may have a different way to write sounds ?

You're not fucking Latin though. You're a shitskin. Such as Latino/a.

By Latin you don't actually mean Latin, you mean Spic.

we call deadlifts "earth" (terra)

...

>t. Native language is french
Exactly, not greek. We don't have a SH sound and we read what we write, so your "ché" is read as "seh"
Same with j and z, same sound
Btw, you are also as pretentious as the stereotype has you be, congratulations
>OHP
Every time

LEVANTAMENTO terra

...

everyone who's not autistic shortens it to "terra"

To anyone else who wishes to coment on the subject, by Latin I meant latino, as from southamerica.

half of south america doesn't even speak spanish

I didn't read the context and though it was to be read in english.
About pretentious, I'm not from France so, it might be the way the language structure thoughts.

>be me
>english

>didn't read the context and though it was to be read in english.
You correctly thought that, I transliterated the exact greek sounds to english

En mi país también. ¿De dónde sos? Yo salvadoreño.

Well In my country we do. There arent many southamerican countries wich dont speak spanish. And even then, its usually present as a secondary language. Dont know where did you get that from.

Nietos del imperio romano

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

there are 400 million people in south america and half of those people don't know spanish.

Again, were do you get that half of them dont speak spanish...

>pullups/chin-ups
>pulls
it's called "odd even" baka
crunches are also called "abs"

Clean & jerk
Pull on chest

Snatch
Escapade

>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.

>Arabic
We use the same word to denote both body part and exercise, only if referring to the exercise we add tamareen before it.

>Anything chest related is Sadr, Ulwi for incline meaning upper, sufli for decline meaning lower.
>Sadr by itself is push up, attach (ma' wazn) to it and it's a bench press. Attach Huur for dumbells.
>Flys are Tajmee' (Ulwi/Sufli) , by itslef it usually means pec deck, wire flys are Tajmee' Slak

>Abs are Miidah sufliyah and Ulwiya denoting lower and upper respectively.
>Obliques and Achilis belt are Riyash and Khawaser respectively.

>Shoulders are Ktaaf Amami, Janibi and Khalfi for front, side and rear respectively
>Amami denotes Millitary press, janibi denotes barbell military press, Khalfi is rear Delt fly.
>Add Raf'aat for raises
>Smith Machine or machine is Ala Ktaaf


>Thahr, means back
>Raf'aat Thahr are pullups
>Raf'aat Thahr Maskeh Qaribeh are close grip denoting chinup
>Add Ala for pulldowns
>Rows are Tajdeef
>Add Maskeh Qaribeh for close grip, and Maskeh Tuuliyeh for Hammer
>Deadlifts are Raf'aat Mumitah meaning killer lifts
>Trabeez Amami/Khalfi/Janibi for front, back and side shrugs (We refer to traps in a bastardized form of the english word, since the arabic word is Al Adalah Shibh al Munharifa which literally translates to the semi deviated muscle, which is a mouthful, but also Munharifa is also the colloquial word for degenerate female.)

Arms are Iden meaning hands
>Thuna'iya is Bi referring to curls
>Thulathiya is Tri referring to pushdowns
>Add Raf'aat (Wazn Huur) for Skullcrushers (dumbell extensions)

Legs are Ijren
>Raf'aat for Squats
>Dafaashah meaning pusher for leg press
>Battat meaning ducks for calves Gaaed/Wagef for seated standing
>Aleh Amami/Khalfi/Khariji/Dakhili for machine front extensions/back curls/hip abductor/hip adductor
>Glutes are Fakhdat

what's the phrase for "explosive lifting" ?
>just wondering

You motherfucker.

Rafe' Mutafajer

>Glutes
>Fukhdat
>Fukh dat
>Fuk dat
>Glutes
>Fuk dat

Ass people to the core, no wonder every arab I met was obsessed with anal, it's even embedded in their language.

...

Fucking sand people man

>>Raf'aat Thahr Maskeh Qaribeh are close grip denoting chinup
>denoting
I read that as detonating, fuck me

Totally understandable.

>Yo salvadoreño.
Gross

lol

Brazilians speak Portuguese, you retard

and brazil is half of southamerica right dumbfuck?

Yes, actually it is

Italy:
Deads = Stacchi (Pulls)
Bench = Panca Piana (Flat bench)
Bench press = Distensioni su panca (Laying on the bench)
OHP = Lento Avanti (Slow from the front)

Thanks God mostly everything was borrowed from english.

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.

Therefore, your mind is made of shit if you think half of southamerica doesnt speak spanish

Southamerican*

>>Abs are called ''chocolates'', meaning chocolates


>>Latin
>speaking spanish

>mexico
>sotuh america

damn you're fucking retarded

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.

Dont count mexico then, still the same

>mexico
>south america

Always had been thought mexico was either part of southamerica or ''Central America'', Never part of north america

Thats also not counting indigenous languages like Guarani, Qechua, and Qichua.

that's because you're retarded, where are you even from

Taught, god damm gotta practice my English

you're actually retarded op

Got my info from wikipedia, you got yours from a google search. Both reliable sources right?

Mexico is part of Latin America, but is on the North American continent

Yeah, sorry bruh. Centroamerica no es un continente.

Y la gente se burla de la educacion americana. Fuisre enganado.

what sort of third world country do you come from where you can't even read

Same question

Y tu eres de donde? You Latino or American or what????

>be finnish
>OHP is "standing push-up"
