I'll be the first to admit I am more of a down in the trenches, get your hands dirty type. A get in there, get that bar on your back and fork in your hand and get er done Type of guy.

I mean that's really where all the work gets done and most things are learned or at the least proven.

That said, I do also thoroughly enjoy educating myself further in the fields of training and Nutrition. Reading, talking and watching informative content to find new things to try, exploring topics in depth at times damn near the point of paralysis. Which I then again have to just shut it off and get my hands dirty again to prove or disprove these new ideas.

Recently Charles and I were having a conversation with a product designer that got very technical, though it was not above my head, I had lost the simple ability to reproduce much of the concepts or definitions in a coherent spoken language that the layperson, myself, would be able to understand. You know those times you know what is being said but you just cant relay the message.

What does this mean?? It was time to brush up on some simple terminology and definitions. We all lose such abilities like this that we do or do not use in every day talk. Its good to do a little refreshing at times so I figure I'll start a series where from time to time I give a quiz on some terms of theories that relate to fitness and nutrition.

I wont be able to tell if you cheat so I'll just have to trust you to be honest and take the test without looking to an outside source. Either way it'll be a good way for us all to stay on the up and up on some pretty fundamental vocabulary.

About The Author

Phil, while attaining both his Bachelors and Masters degrees in studio art found another passion, that of training and nutrition. A constant student, his real-world under-the-barbell and behind-the-fork approach has led to many an opportunity, experience, and change in his life as well as those he has worked.

Phil currently, aside from his varied work with Team Staley, is a working and showing artist (http://www.philstevens.com). His current personal fitness goals are to become a competitive force as middleweight strongman competitor, while building upon his power lifting experience in which he has seen as high as a top ten national ranking; with a two year goal of obtaining an elite ranking as a 242 or 275lb weight class RAW power lifter.

My supervisor at work wants me to take kindergarten classes to brush up on my studies. What can I expect?

Watch out for the kids laughing and having the milk come out their noses. Be sure to get to the good toys first. If someone is playing with a toy you want just grab it and yell "Mine"!
