Glassups (formerly Shoulder-O's) - a KB armbar, TGU up, windmill, OH squat, and TGU down
GTG: Grease the Groove. Working an exercise or movement for practice and maintenance rather than heavy work.
Hack squat, hack lift, behind the back deadlift - a deadlift with the bar behind you
Heaving snatch balance: Start with the bar on the back of your shoulders and hold it in a snatch grip. Dip and drive the bar up, then drop into a full squat, catching the bar overhead.
