Forum Shorthand

[Neil Holloway]

Hello everyone, I just discovered this site when looking for a hybrid strength/metcon program to enhance my Parkour performance. I discovered Gant's hybrid program, and it looked absolutely fantastic. But I am confused by the shorthand used in the post. I figured out what some was, like OHS, metcon, ME, etc. But I am wondering what do these mean: PR, PP, BS, HS, etc? I may have been doing CF for a couple months, but I still don't know what most of these mean. Can anyone help out?

Neil.. I apologize. That's probably annoying. I will try to correct that in my posts.
OHS= overhead squat
PR= personal record
PP= push press
BS= Back Squat
HS=...probably hand stand..i don't know i don't go in for that sort of thing.

I think handstand is correct. I think I have figured out what some others are
HPC=high-pull clean
PC=pull-clean
FS=front squat
P-Sn=Pull-snatch

Please, correct me if I'm wrong.

Welcome. Probably got those wrong.

HPC = HANG POWER CLEAN
PC = POWER CLEAN
PSn = POWER SNATCH

I hope that helps. Anytime you see something you aren't sure of and can't find just ask.

Some stuff from my log:

**I only log work sets. Eg. if I'm working up to a max single on snatch, I might only list one weight. I don't log warmup sets.

notation:

AxBxC= weight x sets x reps
BxC= sets x reps (Greg E. does the opposite on this forum's WOD)

gymnastical jackassery

FL=front lever
BL=back lever
prog.= progressions
HS= handstand
PL=planche

weights (all weights in kilos unless they have a # sign)

H=hang
P=power
M=muscle
C/Cl=clean
C&J= clean & jerk
SN/Sn= snatch
pos.=position (eg. 3 pos. Cl)

so...HPC= hang power clean

S=squat
F=front
B=back
OH=overhead
P= press (overhead)
PP=push press
BP=bench press
DB=dumbbell

so...OH DB P= overhead dumbbell press (thanks a lot, Louie, you MF...)

other

max=Circa max or max for day. Not a true max
ME=max effort
DE=dynamic effort
sec.=seconds (usually for rest)
alt. 3 grip= alternating 3 grips, usually on DE BP (3 sets narrow, 3 sets medium, 3 grips wide)
J=judo
JJ=ju jitsu
BJJ= Brazilian jiujitsu
tab=Tabata intervals (in my case, 6 rounds)

Yes, indeed. A very important distinction between this forum and the CF forum.

Wellll well well....MOD outs himself as one of those BOTTLE Guinness drinkers... glass? meh. no tnx. a wee little twelve ounce dash is insufficient...

14.9 oz cans are four and eight packs...never six.

Guinness comes in aluminum.... kegs or cans. or as the pronounce it across the pond.. Aluminium

Ah yes. But surely you'd agree that a six-pack of Guiness bottles is preferable to the quest for six visible abdominal muscles.
