OK, i figure its time to swallow my pride and ask a few newbie questions:

1. what is a pronated grip, suppinated grip, or any other type of grip mean?

2. what does vascularity mean? does it just mean you can see my veins?

3. what's a clean & jerk? or a power clean? i've heard it thrown around the forums and just have no idea what they are. i'm lucky i found out what good mornings are... edit: i found some videos on youtube, so you don't have to answer this one

i think that was all i wanted to ask... thanks

pronated grip (palms down grip)
Supinated Grip: a grip on the bar when your palms are facing up towards you. This is most commonly known as a reverse grip

I googled those for you.

2. Vascular means relating to blood. If that helps.

3. If you found info share it with the others that may share the same questions as you.

I find http://www.exrx.net/Exercise.html a good place to start when I am not familiar with an exercise mentioned.
