Which resistance training system uses one set for each exercise?

Which resistance training system involves a step approach that either increases weight with each set or decreases weight with each set?

Which resistance training system is another variation of circuit training that alter- nates upper-body and lower-body exercises throughout the circuit?

Which resistance training system is used by NASM and follows the OPT™ model progressing a workout vertically down the template (total body S chest S back S shoulders S biceps S triceps S legs) in a circuit style minimizing rest periods in between exercises

Which resistance training system requires performing all sets of an exercise or body part (with an adequate rest period between sets) before moving on to the next exercise or body part?

What is the PRIMARY goal of resistance-stabilization exercises?

What is the PRIMARY goal of resistance-strength exercises?

What is the PRIMARY goal of resistance-power exercises?

Which exercise is sometimes described as a single movement as the weight is pulled from the floor with two hands and explosively lifted to arm’s length over the head with no pause in the movement?

When performing the snatch, the first pull phase occurs when

Which lifting exercise enables athletes to achieve the heaviest weights overhead?

Which lifting exercise requires the widest grip?

Place the phases of the snatch exercise in the correct order.

Which exercise is a good alternative to the clean when the full squat position can- not be achieved?

All of the following are stability cues to improve core stabilization and proper exercise technique EXCEPT

All of the following are PRIMARY goals/adaptations of Phase 1 Stabilization Endurance EXCEPT

Which phase of the OPT™ model entails the use of superset techniques in which a more stable exercise (such as a bench press) is immediately followed with a stabiliza- tion exercise with similar biomechanical motions (such as a stability ball push-up)?

Which phase of the OPT model is specific for the adaptation of maximal muscle growth, focusing on high levels of volume with minimal rest periods to force cel- lular changes that result in an overall increase in muscle size?

All of the following are PRIMARY adaptations of Phase 4 Maximal Strength training EXCEPT

Which phase of the OPT model utilizes a form of complex training, supersetting a strength exercise with a power exercise for each body part?

What is the PRIMARY focus of Phase 6 Maximal Power training?

Which phase of the OPT model utilizes 1–5 repetitions at 85–100% of 1RM during resistance exercises?
