Guude,
ok, the thing (Sache) with the body parts (Körperteile) and muscles (Muskeln) is, that in germany you use often the latin words especially for the muscles. And in english its mostly the same (Except, that you normally use them shortend e.g. gluts for gluteaus, lat for latissimus, pecs for pectoralis, etc.). I´ll show you, what i mean:
biceps = Bizeps (sometimes used = Armbeuger)
triceps = Trizeps (sometimes used = Armstrecker)
lat = Latissimus
traps = Trapezius as Bodypart neck = Nacken
So when you look at Armbeuger and Armstrecker, we sometimes combine the bodypart with the function of the muscle, Arm is the Bodypart and beugen / strecken discribes the function.
Differencies:
gluts = Gesäßmuskel
forearm = Unterarm
back = Rücken
upper = oberer
lower = unterer
harmstrings = Beinbeuger (see above, Bein is leg!)
quads = Beinstrecker / quadrizeps
calves = Waden
abs = Bauchmuskeln
Ok, so weit so gut. Jetzt erzähl ich euch meinen Freitag (now i tell you my friday):
Hit the gym at 6.35 am for my back and chest routine, went real nice, had some nice feelings in the muscles - smile. Working till 12, home for lunch. Rest time till 4.30 pm, needed badly because of the weekend ahead. Had to work for another hour, so i went back to gym till 6. So home fast feeding myself and Kalle (the dog first, you now a good cowboy always serve his horse first before going in the saloon). Then a walk with him till 7.20, after that he was so dirty and qualified himself for a shower. So i had to hurry up, because i had to be in the hall at 7.45 for another preseason handball game. Game went real good, about 200 % better than last week, especially defence was damn good in some phases of the game. So we won with 10 goals 25:15 against an opponent trained by our old coach, so real fun! The team we played, normally is one league above us (different system in each sport in germany against in the states!!!), so we can be real confident till now. But saturday and sunday are two more games, so we´ll gonna see. At home at about 10 and ice cream was needed badly!!! Gone to bed at about midnight.
Take care
. Möge die Realität eure Wünsche und Hoffnungen übertreffen und die Gesundheit euer steter Begleiter sein.
