a superset is where you would be doing, say bench press, and straight after a set you would go and do a set on say calf raises, or some other exercise for an unrelated muscle (i.e a muscle not used on the bench)
pre-exhaustion sets are where you would do a light set of more reps than your 'work' sets, to pre-exhaust a muscle. these are of use where for example, on the bench again, alot of people find shoulder or triceps get burnt out before the chest, so by doing a pre-exhaust the chest gets hit hard, then finished off on a work set.
hope thats explained ok?

A superset is sort of different depends on where your from. For most, its where you work one muscle and then train the agonist to that (the opposing muscle). For example if you were doing some bicep curls, you would then go and do some skullscrusher.
The other way people define it, is where you perform a bench press, then move straight into push ups. Same muscles involved, but different exercise with no waiting period.
Pre-exhaust is similar to what the guy above said, but you focus on a movement that isolates a particular muscle, and then perform the bigger movement. For example, do flys to try and isolate the pec major before trying the Bench Press. Its to help train the pec major before the Triceps and anterior deltoid become fatigued and compromise the program.

Basically they mean eat alot of healthy, natural foods. Not necessarily low fats food, nuts are high in fat but, i'd consider them clean

Just out of sheer curiosity, can anyone explain why the chosen abbreviation for Carbohydrates is CHO, when surely COH (Carb-O-Hydrates) is the obvious choice? Does COH also stand for something else?

CHO are the chemical elements all carbohydrates are comprises of C = carbon H = hydrogen O = Oxygen. PRO for protein is just the first three letters, and fat isn't a particularly long word.

That makes more sense. Having a glossary would clear up any confusion.

Pre exhaust:
Pectoral: you would do a set or two on the peck-deck, which works out your pectoral without using any other muscles.
Once you feel the tiredness setting in, you quickly change to the bench and do a set or two of bench presses. This uses the triceps, which are fresh, to tire out the pectoral even more. It is used where you want to target a large muscle without the limitation of using a smaller muscle that tires out quicker.
Other examples:
- Lats (latissimus dorsi) using rotary pulldown machine then switching to lats pulldown machine. Try using straps to isolate the movement even more, then concentrate on pulling down from the elbows rather than from the hands.
- Quadriceps: Leg extensions followed by squats or even followed by deadlifts.
Superset: You set up two machines or two weight stations then blast between exercise one and exercise two with a break after exercise two, then repeat until sick, or nearly, lol. You could do sets of 12 or sets of eight reps per exercise. This is a great way to give yourself the biggest pump!
Try biceps then triceps. If you did it right you can't even scratch your nose afterwards.
If you want the ultimate in pain, gain and pump and burn, then superset first with T-bar on triceps pulldown with both hands, then EZ bar with both hands. When you can't manage any more, switch to the stirrup on the pull down, one hand at a time, then dumbell one hand at a time for the bicep, i.e.: left - right..... change.... left - right...rest... change... <repeat>
Enjoy!

MT now has an alphabetical glossary of technical terms and acronyms. It's spread over 5 pages and is by no means complete, so please suggest other terms as and when you come across them. Then every so often we will update the pages.
The glossary can be viewed though links on both articles index pages:
http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/articles.aspx
and
http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/articles-index.aspx
or on the right hand side navigation of the non-forum pages
