.. these three terms on the web:
(1) Haussement d'épaules = shoulder shrugs
(2) Rowing buste penché = bent rows
(3) sangle = straps
How's that sound to you?

(1) you're right
(2) you're probably right too
(3) straps = sangle, but weightlifting straps are "poignets lestés" or "chevilles lestées" . You can even use just "lests"



(10) Are those carpenter's jeans?
(10) Est ce que c'est un jean charpentier?

so..
and, just out of curiosity, why do you need all that?

(1) With strength comes muscle
(i would have said it was the contrary, that with muscle comes strength though

2) There is a positive relationship between strength and muscle
La force et la masse musculaire sont reliés de manière positive (i don't like this)
Il y a une relation réciproque/positive entre la force et la masse musculaire

(3) Muscle increases in proportion with strength
La masse musculaire augmente proportionellement à la force


12) They're trying to run us out of here
Ils essayent de nous faire partir d'ici
