I recently got a gym membership to start getting back into shape and wanted to start doing weightlifting so I can have some muscle. I'm really skinny and only weigh about 126lbs. I'm 17 years old by the way. Is a personal trainer worth it?
How costly are they? The gym I go to is located in a small town.|||personal trainers can cost from $50 to $100 a session, depending on your gym. you could maybe check the gym's website?
if you are not sure how to go about weightlifting, it may be worthwhile to invest in one personal training session so you can learn the techniques
good luck!|||When you join a gym, training should be included. Paying for training is pretty costly. Maybe you should try some instructional videos. Youtube the things you want to do.

Is it possible to loose fat and gain muscle with weightlifting? I tend to loose muscle when I am on treadmil?
Is weightlifting alone can do the trick? Loosing fat and gaining muscle?|||It's possible but you won't lose much fat if you're just weight lifting; weightlifting=gain muscle, treadmill= lose fat.
First time going to the gym to start weightlifting, would getting a personal trainer hurt?
That way he'll teach me the right ways. I'm 17 years old and I'm really skinny and weigh about 126 lbs but want to start weightlifting to get muscular and toned up. Should I get me a personal trainer for a few sessions?
Thanks.|||That would be a good idea, yeah. A trainer will not only be able to catch mistakes and help guide you to performing the exercises properly if need be, but can also help keep you motivated and challenge you. I'd say if you want to get the best of out working out, hire a personal trainer.|||there are about a million lifting how to videos on youtube,etc. sites.
and the scooby site has a beginners workout with video of how to do the exercises
or get a personal trainer- are the personal trainers free or are you going to pay money for what you could learn free on the internet.

For weightlifting, what areas of the male body would need developing to be more conventionally attractive?
This is a question for women: I was just wondering what parts of the body (buttocks, shoulders, etc.) do you think would a man focus on to build up for weightlifting?|||well there is really no such thing as spot training, but generally arms and chest are the first thing i notice in a guy. abs are nice but not a requirement. but i do not like the less than 1% body fat look either. I prefer a little meat on my man, something i can hold on to, if you know what i mean. I have to admit that an apollos belt is REALLY hot...
just make sure when you are talking to a girl about your hobby (weightlifting) dont make her feel like you are more interested in weightlifting than spending time with her.|||Try push-ups and building those muscles that allow you to do them.
One they give you a wider back and toned shoulders which if you are not looking which when girls look at guys the most you, its realllllly sexxxy.
2 you need good abs, which having a good core gives you better endurance, at anything.
3 think about what else may happen in a push-up position?
I don't think you'd wanna stop just cause your muscles are not in shape and i'm sure no girl would be impressed with that, no matter how nice your *** looks. if you still don't know what i'm talking about, do a push-up while thinking about a really hot girl... Something will come to mind.

At what age should teens start weightlifting?
I understand that weight lifting at a young age can be devastating to a body if done wrong. Do you think that if I don't overdue weightlifting and, if I am monitored by a trainer, that I can start?

Fasting before I start my weightlifting routine?
I'm going to start a weightlifting routine where I hope to gain 20 pounds in 6 months. I'm going to start tomorrow.

If you really want to up your weight, start taking a Nitric Oxide Supplement. Many people take NO Xplode, i prefer Superpump250.

Weightlifting...?
your meant to do a smaller number of reps with heavier weights for building muscle and a higher number of reps with lighter weights to tone right? I want to build muscle but when i do about 8 bicep curls with my heavy weights i just dont feel like ive worked my arms enough and then do more until i can lift anymore....am i doing it wrong?|||One of my favorites with biceps is called a drop set. Do your 8-rep set and then immediately drop the weight down to a level where you can do 8-10 more, no rest. Once you're tapped out on that weight, drop down again. Do three or four sets of these and your biceps will be exhausted.
Don't be bashful about the weight. When I get to the last set, I can barely do the bar.
Keep good form throughout the exercise.

PLEASE i have done a lot of rreserach but i need a proven workout routine|||To get big you need to take a different approach. You need to exercise each muscle group 1 day a week. You can combine some if you would like. I can't tell you specific exercises but I would suggest 3 sets of 8 reps for each exercise. I try to use the following schedule
Monday - Chest
Tuesday - Arms
Wednesday - Shoulders
Thursday - Back
Friday - Legs
You can use any schedule but I would suggest always doing legs on Fridays and take the weekend off from lifting. You should also avoid doing chest and shoulders on consecutive days.|||if u want 2 get "bigger" then you need to do supersets, which for example would be doing chest press the flyers straight after with no break. you should only just be able to finish the first set of 10 reps and do 3 sets, which by the third u might only b able 2 do 4 or so. Also its not how long u spend weightlifting but the intensity. you should be pushing ur limits all the time. the weight should always be 2 heavy and it should always hurt.

am 17 years old. i have been lifting for a while. I am looking to make some big gains in strength and size. I already take protein. i am looking for a creatine supplement to take before i work out. Has anyone had some successs with any of them. I am not sure which kind i should buy.|||It's not worth it, taking supplements are for impatient showboaters. Do it the right way and the real way. plus if you do it naturally, you avoid stretchmarks, you are a hell of a lot healthier, and the muscle is real and lasts a lot longer. The minute you get off of the supplement you will notice the muscle begin to fade at a much faster rate than if you had done it the right way. Be smart and make the right decision, the one with ZERO side effects.|||Creatine monohydrate to start, I don't take the 25g recommended during loading phase because it really is stressful on the kidneys. I only take 5g or one spoonful every time I lift but I still see good gains. I wouldn't overdo it, just to be safe.
Powder form is best. Liquid turns it into creatinine, the waste product, unless you take it quickly.
Here's one type you could try (the one I use), the brand isn't too important:
http://www.affordablesupplements.com/pro鈥?/a>
"Storm creatine" may be good too, I just got some to try it.
Oh, and drink a lot of water with it, or you'll dehydrate. (I mean 3-4 glasses within the 2 hour period after you take it).|||There are many kinds you can try. I wouldn't bother with pure creatine mono-hydrate. It gives you bloat but you'll just pee it out when you go to the bathroom since so much of it isn't absorbed into your muscles.
I use Kre-Alkalyn 1500 by Scifit
http://mysupplementstore.net/kr15by.html
It works pretty good and you don't have to take so much of it for it to work, and doesn't require loading.
I tried Creatine Ethyl Ester. I didn't notice any difference.
Educate yourself about Creatine. It doesn't work the way the dude below this answer says it does.
It's just Creatine, NOT Pro-Hormones. People are so uneducated.|||something that can't be investigated by George Mitchell and all them yaknow?

Weightlifting?
im 14 am 5,7 and weight 160. How long should it take to see a difference? What exercises should i be doing( i have lots of weights)? Any other tips would be gladly excepted. THANKS|||use the weights. I suggest lots of core excersizes. take a look at these below.
Most coaches will agree that the medicine ball and physio ball are two pieces of equipment that are very useful in developing core and functional strength. Swimmers must have maximum core strength to stay streamline longer in the water. If their abdominal muscles fatigue, their hips will drop causing added resistance. For this reason swimmers should do core exercises daily. Physio ball programs add core work to basic strength movements (i.e. bench press, squats). When using the physio ball it's best to give swimmers exercises in which they have to either hold up or lift their own body weight. Both physio and medicine ball workouts allow the swimmer to maintain fluidity and momentum, which, once again, transfers to the water easier than pure weight training. It also adds a rotational component that is pertinent for proper swimming technique. Examples of exercises are listed below.
Exercise One:
Have the swimmer put their feet up on a box and their hands on a physio ball. Try to keep the swimmer as level as possible to create a streamline feel. Next, have the athlete activate their serratus anterior by protracting the scapula. Then have them return to normal and complete a push up. You can progress the exercise by adding perturbations to the physio ball or by having the athlete put their feet on a rolling stool.
Exercise Two:
Have the athlete complete a push up with their right hand on the ground and their left hand on a medicine ball. Then switch to a push up with both hands on the medicine ball. Next, have the athlete do a push up with their right hand on the medicine ball and their left hand on the ground. You can progress the exercise by having the athlete lift the leg on side of the hand that is on the ground and vice versa.
Exercise Three:
Have the swimmer lie supine with both arms extended above their head. Place a medicine ball in their hands and have them throw it to a partner that is approximately one yard from their feet. Then have the partner throw the ball back to the athlete. The swimmer should use their arms only in this exercise. This exercise should be done as quickly as possible. You can progress by having the partner stand farther away or by having the athlete complete the throw with one leg 6 inches off the ground, alternating legs. Start for two minutes, then one minute and 45 seconds, one minute and 30 seconds, down to one minute.
Most research conducted on dry land training has found that there is not much transfer from dry land training to the water. However, most swim coaches and swimmers practice some form of dry land training and praise its benefits. This allows them to not only swim better, but helps them dive and leave the block more effectively. However, when initiating dry land training remember that these individuals might not benefit from the same training as land based athletes. The key is to find the right balance of cardiovascular and strength training activities that will not aggravate chronic conditions or create new injuries. Try to pick activities that are not as aggressive on the lower limbed joints since swimmers do not put an axial load on their legs in the water. As a whole, dry land training should create fluidity, momentum and functional strength while maintaining cardiovascular fitness and flexibility.
Most coaches will agree that the medicine ball and physio ball are two pieces of equipment that are very useful in developing core and functional strength. Swimmers must have maximum core strength to stay streamline longer in the water. If their abdominal muscles fatigue, their hips will drop causing added resistance. For this reason swimmers should do core exercises daily. Physio ball programs add core work to basic strength movements (i.e. bench press, squats). When using the physio ball it's best to give swimmers exercises in which they have to either hold up or lift their own body weight. Both physio and medicine ball workouts allow the swimmer to maintain fluidity and momentum, which, once again, transfers to the water easier than pure weight training. It also adds a rotational component that is pertinent for proper swimming technique. Examples of exercises are listed below.
Exercise One:
Have the swimmer put their feet up on a box and their hands on a physio ball. Try to keep the swimmer as level as possible to create a streamline feel. Next, have the athlete activate their serratus anterior by protracting the scapula. Then have them return to normal and complete a push up. You can progress the exercise by adding perturbations to the physio ball or by having the athlete put their feet on a rolling stool.
Exercise Two:
Have the athlete complete a push up with their right hand on the ground and their left hand on a medicine ball. Then switch to a push up with both hands on the medicine ball. Next, have the athlete do a push up with their right hand on the medicine ball and their left hand on the ground. You can progress the exercise by having the athlete lift the leg on side of the hand that is on the ground and vice versa.
Exercise Three:
Have the swimmer lie supine with both arms extended above their head. Place a medicine ball in their hands and have them throw it to a partner that is approximately one yard from their feet. Then have the partner throw the ball back to the athlete. The swimmer should use their arms only in this exercise. This exercise should be done as quickly as possible. You can progress by having the partner stand farther away or by having the athlete complete the throw with one leg 6 inches off the ground, alternating legs.

Weightlifting?
I'm 15 and have been doing weightlifting for about a year now. I have worked up to a bench press of 300 pounds and am trying to progress to 350 within a year and up to 400 within two years.
My parents say that I'm lifting too much weight and it will put stress on my joints. My dad said it could result in free testosterone being released into my system and disrupting my hormonal balance.
Firstly, is it true about the hormonal balance thing?
Secondly, am I lifting too much weight? I've seen people my age doing much more weight than 300 pounds so I assumed it was safe.
P.S. I'm not into Maximuscle nor any other supplements, I weigh 250 pounds so I guessed that benching 50 pounds above your weight is not dangerous.|||Well, Im not sure about the hormone question, but I do know that youre not lifting too much. I have friends in high school that bench well over that, and they have encountered no problems. The fact that your 15 and you bench that much is awesome by the way. Im a year older, am really into lifting weights, about the same weight, and I cant lift that much. You shouldnt be afraid to take supplements such as protein, but youre doing really well already so its not a necessity. Keep it up.|||15 and weight 250 wow.. your dad is wrong.. but you have to give your body rest . to reach 400 you need to train as a power lifter ....|||ummm.. wow. ur dad is right. lifting that much isnt good. like once or twice a week is fine, but not ever day. im 13 and i can bench around 250. i only wiegh 124. i dont bench every day. i box and play football and paintball. so i dont want to push myself too far. i still think im fat though. and plus im a girl, and im short|||One thing that will help you lose weight: a colon cleanse. I was one of those who did not believe in them until I tried it. And I tried a few until I found a great one that works (its all natural too! - it's just pills, but you'll detox, lose weight, and fell much, much better). You can go to

Weightlifting ??
what major muscle or system is exercised when weightlifting?|||Muscular System. The Major Muscles (they are called Prime Movers) are different depending on what type of weightlifting activity you are talking about. For example the chest press:
Prime Mover: Pectoralis (chest) Secondary Movers: Triceps + Deltoid|||What ever one you choose to work out. Benching helps the chest, curling the arms, squating the legs. Its targeted.

Weightlifting?
im buying a home gym when i get 200 or so bucks... http://www.dunhamssports.com/product/ind鈥?/a> my question is.... Since im a rather big boy, lets say (230 pounds, but 6 feet, but im kinda fat), will weightlifting help me get skinnier, along with like cardio and eating well? And will weightlifting help get rid of my man boobs? (i have em cuz im fat, no hormones or anything)|||ye wat u should do tho is divide it into 2 steps, first start losing weight, this by itself can give u the cut look, like for a month or so eat a lot of fish, vegetables, drink lots of water, etc, no bad stuff like unk food and soda, also along with this u should run 2 times a day, like really intense cardio, after that you will see almost ridiculous results, then u can start weight lifting, it will also be more effective now, since its really hard to lose fat and build muscle at the same time (cuz when u lose fat, the body starts to use all the extra protein and sometimes to breakdown muscles a bit)|||%26lt;a href="http://www.building-musc鈥?Workouts%26lt;/a%26gt;
|||of course...do everything you mentioned above and you'll get the muscle and lose the fat you want.|||Yes, weightlifting will tighten your stomach muscles (under the fat)help to tone and define your arms and your chest (rock hard pecs instead of man-boobs) But don't make the mistake of
trying to power lift too much weight. If you're looking for the "ripped" look that will make the ladies stare at you on the beach, you need more reps (3 sets of 10).Most guys try and do too much weight, so they do less reps and also cheat (don't
go all the way down on a curl for example)Also you need to do some cardio (jogging, biking)and eat right to burn the fat...stay off of beer, pizza and fast food...you'll do fine. One other tip, I could never get motivated when I had a home gym, but I can go religiously to work out at a club or community center. The community centers usually have great machines, less people and low prices.Good Luck!|||Well! buddy I am sorry to say that weight lifting is not the solution to get rid if overweight. Try jogging and swimming first these r much effective then weight lifting %26amp; to get rid of man boobs try push ups and really push ur self beyond to ur strength %26amp; then try weight lifting but that too with light weights say 15 pounds and do as many movement u can do and atleast 3 sets daily.|||Weight lifting is KEY! Cardio is great for you, but burns only a fraction of the calories of anaerobic (weight lifting). The big plus with building muscle mass is it raises your metabolism on a long term basis. The more muscle mass you have the more calories your body will burn at ALL times.
Start out slow. When beginners hit the gym too hard, injuries can happen (pulled muscles, joint injuries). Of course you're not able to do your workouts if you're injured. Give yourself 3-4 weeks of an easy going weightlifting routine, then slowly turn up the magnitude of your workout on a weekly basis. You should start to see results within the 1st 2-3 months if you stick with it. Keep up the cardio and DON'T starve yourself. Eat plenty, and eat healthy. Drink lots of water to purge your developing muscles of lactic acid. Staying well hydrated will also boost your metabolism.
Dedication is the toughest part. Working out isn't all that fun for most folks. But if you stay with it you'll be stoked on the results. In general, when you're on an anaerobic workout schedule, you will need to do your lifting every other day. Don't work out the same muscle group 2 days in a row. That's not good and will be counter productive. Aerobic, or cardio should be done daily.
Hope this helps.
Oh yeh, make sure to put a focused pectoral (flat bench, incline bench, decline bench and flys) and tricep workout into your routine and your "man-boobs" will turn into glorious pecs in about 6 months.|||I've purchased quite a bit of home fitness equipment so this advice isn't coming right off the top of my head. If I were you I would purchase:
1. A copy of Combat Conditioning by Matt Furey at www.mattfurey.com .
2. A Jump rope
3. An exercise bike (http://www.dunhamssports.com/product/ind鈥?/a> or an elliptical trainer.
4. A small Dumbbell set.
5. The book Stretching by Bob Anderson
I would do this workout daily:
Hindu Squats 2 x 50-60 reps (your goal is 500)
Hindu Push ups 2 x 10-25 reps (your goal is 250)
Back Bridge 1 x 30 sec (your goal is 3min)
Exercise Bike or Elliptical trainer 35 minutes
Jumping Rope 10 minutes
Remember to stretch after you exercise. Remember to exercise in your target heart range:
Target Heart Range:
220(Your Age)= Maximum Heart R ate
(220-30) x 0.6 = 114, 60% of MHR
(220-30) x 0.85 = 161.5, 85% of MHR

Weightlifting?
Hey, I'm 15 years old, male, I've started lifting 10 pound dumbbells, 3 sets, 10 reps each. I weigh 118 pounds, and am 5'6.
I was wondering if this will stunt my growth. Is it bad for my spine, also?
My doctor said he thinks I will be 5'8 when I grow up, I want to be 6 feet, so I'm worried if weightlifting will make me even shorter.|||play basketball insted of weight lifting your to young to do weight lifting basketball will help you grow|||Include pull ups. This stretches your spine out. Do your bicep curls sitting down too. Id increase the weight a little, to at least 15lbs, to get a good burn. Weightlifting wont stunt your growth. Eat plenty of protein, vitamins, and whole grains.|||It won't make you shorter. In fact, there is a small chance that lifting will help release hormones that will in turn make you grow.

Ok so this summer I want to start weightlifting again because I want to do well in track next year. I throw shot put and discus
What is the best strategy for the best results? Heavy weight+less reps or Lower weight+more reps?
I am a girl, Bench about 90, Box squat 175, Power Clean 75. Maybe you could write out a schedule for me please? like...
Bench Press
Week 1- 75
Week 2- 80
Week 3- 85...........something like that|||Low weight high reps. There is a STRONG girl at our our highschool (beat me in armwrestling) and all the arm workout she does is repping the bar. No weight, just over and over again until your arms burn.|||im so all about working out... why wait until this summer when you can start tomorrow?!

My big brothers went to LA and left their gym equipment to me.. The equipment its kinda old and they've been using it since I was a lil kiddo... and watching them I kinda have a lil knowledge about weightlifting such as having a skedule (%26lt;-- BLEH I cant spell that!) and only doing one muscle only once a week so I wouldnt overtrain it.. Now they they're gone I dicided to hit the weights.. Theres this thing that my bros would use on their triceps and back but it gots a lot of handles that can be attatched to the chord and its kinda confusing cuz i dont know what they're for.. I'm just starting out and know jack sqat bout this suff.. Is there anyone here that I can add on yahoo messenger that could help give me some advice on this stuff??|||Remember this caveat of wisdom:

You ARE training to get in better shape...remember this axiom|||You can IM me.
I'll invite you, my ID is wogirl602|||I used to think that training one muscle group two to three times a week was the best way to get huge. After ten years of body-building you learn that working one group per week is the BEST way to train to get huge.
Working one muscle group will almost always compliment another group. For example, If I work my lats (back muscles) I'll also be working my triceps indirectly. Therefore, on Monday I'll work my back and triceps. Tuesday I'll rest. Wednesday I'll work biceps , pecs, and delts (shoulders). Thursday rest. Friday I'll work quads (front legs) and calves. Saturday I'll work forarms, abs, and hamstrings.
Creatine helps if your really trying to get huge. It's the only supplement I've used that really works. Always remember to drink lots of water and keep rested since the only time muscle builds is during sleep.
Good Luck!|||Whether you're an advanced weightlifter or not, I've got one piece of advice that is true for at least myself. Weight lifting without diet is worthless. Just like diet without weight lifting/exercise is worthless. You don't need to do advanced workouts to get good results. I'd recommend the book "The Testosterone Advantage Plan" by Lou Schuler. I was in the gym 6 days a week for an hour a day and was bored of it. I took a chance on this diet/exercise routine and saw more results in that promised 9 weeks than I had ever seen before, even though I even fudged on the diet part a little. The book is easy to read and understand and his reasoning is sound. The excercises are basic, but you'll still push yourself. Just my two cents.

What are the best weightlifting supplements from your experience? Two of my friends were always talking how NO XPLODE is s great and I've been taking it the past few weeks and I can already notice the results. But what else is out there that I should try?|||NO Xplode is mainly just for the energy and pump. I used to use it all the time, but they changed the formula about a year ago and it hasn't been the same. I would definitly give Gaspari Nutrition Superpump 250 or Controlled Labs White Flood a try, I think you will see much better results.
I would recommend adding some whey protein to your diet. Then drink right in the morning, right after your workout, then before you go to sleep with some milk.
Lastly, you should really supplement with creatine. It has been around forever now because it works. Just make sure to drink a lot of water.
As for other supplements, I test out a lot of different supplements and here are my stats right now:
6'0" Tall
215lbs
15% Bodyfat
Protein - BSN Syntha 6 Strawberry
NO2 - Gaspari Nutrition Superpump 250
Creatine - Gaspari Nutrition Size-On Lemonade
Amino Acid Mix - Controlled Labs Purple Wraath
I usually buy from http://www.bestpricenutrition.com because they have all the supplements above and they always give me a lot of supplement samples with my order.
Hope this helps!|||whey protine|||yes try whey preotein

Can you lose stomach fat by weightlifting?
I'm currently working on reducing my stomach fat so that it's all flat and I was wondering..if I do enough weightlifting on my upper body, will this burn the calories/fat in my stomach too?|||there is nothing that can spot reduce just the fat in any section of your body. significant weight lifting without cardio can make you look bigger. this might be nice in your arms and shoulders, but if you build nice big abs and have them hidden under fat, they'll actually push the fat out and possibly make your belly bigger. You need to mix weight training with cardio and a good diet. There's no quick solution.|||I'm sure weight lifting can help|||prob some...but it'll mostly just build muscle|||Weight training is excellent for burning body fat. Studies have shown increases in metabolic rate of as much as 4-7% over a 24-hour period from weight training (also known as the 'afterburn' effect). Muscle also burns calories even when you're doing nothing.
Focus your weight training on major muscle groups such as the chest, back and legs for maximum fat loss.
Here's a good site on fat loss and abdominal training progam:
http://www.shedthefat.com/losebellyfat.p鈥?/a>|||Using weights will only affect certain parts of the body. Do crunches every morning and you should see results, I have tried it and I lost and few inches in about 1-2 weeks.|||1. You must be burning enough calories to reach your fat-burning level...try aerobic (heart rate up) workouts also...jogging, biking, swimming, and then weightraining, or you won't dip into that extra stored energy
2. Concentrate on tightening your abs while lifting (as a stablizer muscle group)
3. Do ab workout also...you can do situps while hold a weight, or any variation of situps/crunches.|||You cannot spot reduce to lose weight solely in the stomach area. When the weight comes off, it will come off from all over the body. The stomach is one of the last palces that you will loose body fat. Weightlifting will help you to loose weight by speeding up the metabolism. Muscle burns more calories than fat does. The muscles that are going to burn more calories and end in weight loss is the chest and leg muscles because these are two of the biggest muscles on the body,
Sit-ups and Crunches does not burn fat from around the stomach. They simply tone the ab muscle but if the abs are covered by fat then the abs are not going to be very visible. If you want to loose that belly fat then look into your diet and implement some cardio into your exercise routine. At the current time I am doing a plan from menshealth.com.

Focus your weight training on major muscle groups such as the chest, back and legs for maximum fat loss.

Do crunches every morning and you should see results, I have tried it and I lost and few inches in about 1-2 weeks.|||1. You must be burning enough calories to reach your fat-burning level...try aerobic (heart rate up) workouts also...jogging, biking, swimming, and then weightraining, or you won't dip into that extra stored energy
2. Concentrate on tightening your abs while lifting (as a stablizer muscle group)
3. Do ab workout also...you can do situps while hold a weight, or any variation of situps/crunches.|||You cannot spot reduce to lose weight solely in the stomach area.

Which of these is more effective in burning stomach fat for a guy: doing ab exercises, weightlifting or cardio?
Which of these is more effective in burning stomach fat for a guy: doing ab exercises, weightlifting or cardio?|||i hate to break it to you buddy, but you can't burn fat in a specific area only. cardio is excellent for burning fat. adding muscle will help, but sit ups only have visual affects when you burn the fat off.|||A properly set up weight lifting routine like the Fat X program.|||Cardio... try rowing especially.. it uses large muscle groups so burns the most energy.

Is weightlifting at high intensity levels 5 days a week for about an hour or so at a time and eating healthy and clean enough to build muscle as well as decrease body fat?|||oh yeah
im in footbll n we are weight lifting almost everyday
really helps
IMO|||I was always under the assumption that in order to burn more fat and to "show off" those define muscles from strength training that you would need to do cardio.
I figure a combination of a healthy diet, cardio and strength training (weight lifting) would be enough. It's easy to fit cardio in your daily life.... park farther away from the store for instance.|||No it will not build muscle mass, no it will not decrease body fat. You need to rest every other day to build muscle-your muscles are torn down with weight training, and by resting you are letting them repair, and you increase their mass. You will hurt your muscles if you do H. I. that often and they will not build mass. Cardio is required to decrease body fat. It can be in the form of aerobics, machines at the gym, brisk walking, martial arts, mountain hiking, swimming, running, or even scrubbing the walls or floors of your home. BUT... cardio is vitally important for heart health. Please don't neglect it. You'll be strengthing your heart, and keeping it healthy.

How does weightlifting work?
I am 16 years old and I want to start weightlifting but I don't know what to do. I have a gym near my house but I don't know what machines to use to work specific body groups. Also, considering strength training can be dangerous for growing teens, I don't know what types of exercises are bad for me.
If one day I work upper body, can I work the lower body the next day? Do I have to take a day of rest even though I am working different muscles?
Need help, please enlighten me all you experts out there!?|||I'm no expert, just do it a couple of times a week, however I was in your position a short while ago.
Essentially, start with a weight level you can do 10 repetitions with. This is one set. Do 2-3 sets of each exercise with about 30s break in between
When you can do this easily, or after say, 6 workouts of that muscle (spread over about two weeks) increase your reps by 1-3 depending on how hard you want to push yourself.
Don't go above 3 sets of 20 reps if you are building size, anything more is just building stamina.
For specific exercises, just Google "how to exercise _____"
(good idea to learn what the muscles are called, makes it much easier)
If you are just starting, it could be a good idea to train with just your bodyweight. (called calisthenics training, push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups,etc)
I prefer to work out my whole body in one day then cardio (running, etc) the next, then weights, however that is up to you. It is recommended that you only work out a muscle every other day to give it time to rest.

Does weightlifting apply to distance runners?
I want to be a professional distance runner when I grow up. I am training hard and lifting weights. I am wondering if weightlifting helps improve my distance running ability, because I see that many professional distance runners are skinny? I want to get a nice physique, so that I can be strong when I grow up and be able to stick up for myself, but I don't want to harm my ability by lifting weights. How can I accomplish this? Thank you for your time and advice.|||first of all if you are good enough at running you shouldnt need to be strong to stick up for yourself, seeing as you can just run away : )
distance runners should do weights to help prevent injury, but high rep, low weight and low recovery. It wont necessarily make you faster, but it will make it easier to train harder, which will make you faster. As everyone else said, do lower weight and higher reps, but also, make sure to do several sets, and with low rest. For distance runners, your weight sessions should primarily involve very low rest (30 seconds or less) to help build up endurance strength. Even sprinters such as Michael Johnson, and Jeremy Wariner did/do high rep, (12-13 reps) so keep in mind that it should be pretty minimal. Distance runners definitely need to do a lot more running than lifting. Here's a link to what Hicham El Guerrouj did in 1996, that might help you get an idea of what to do:
http://run-down.com/guests/mv_el_guerrou鈥?/a>|||Weightlifting , also called Olympic weightlifting or Olympic-style weightlifting, is a sport in which participants attempt a maximum weight single lift of a barbell loaded with weight plates. The two lifts currently competed are the clean and jerk and the snatch. The compound word "weightlifting" is often used incorrectly to refer to weight training. In comparison with powerlifting, weightlifting requires more power because the lifts must be executed more quickly and with more mobility because of a greater range of motion during the lifts. While there are relatively few competitive Olympic lifters, the lifts and their components are commonly used by elite athletes to train for explosive and functional strength.|||Yes. Running is a function of the cardio-vascular system and the muscular system as well. You need endurance for distance running, both cardio and strength. Target your strength training this way: low weight and high repetitions; and do strength movements which mimic running movement...in isolation that is, not in total. Finally, work your abs and obliques and lower back with high repetition, no weight movements. These are your core muscles which keep your running form correct. High repetitions build endurance strength and no weight reduces the risk of injury, especially to the lower back.|||Well Josh, I would say you can lift weights, but when doing distance anything over 400 Meters if your trying to build muscle mass and run a good bit your only going to cancel out the ability to get really thick muscle. Just work on getting cut as best as possible and run seriously if that is what you want!! I'm 5'11 and 150-155 with hardly any fat, but my running hasn't allowed me to get bigger.........but since I want to be fast I can live with this........but the weight lifting definately helps the running aspect so go for it!!|||Absolutely! Weightlifting is a vital part of any distance runner's training plan. First off, muscle prevents injury. When you spend a lot of time on your feet, you put a lot of pressure on the knees and ankles and hips. Building muscle around these joints will protect you from injury. Furthermore, stronger legs go faster and further - simple as that.
You don't have to be "skinny" to be a long distance runner. Take a closer look - they are all muscle mass, no fat.|||YES!. Im a distance runner and I lift weights for my team workouts. But what you do is lower lbs. and higher reps. It makes you more sloid without gaining bulk..Yes distancerunners are skinny but our muscles are rock solid.
It is also very important to do ALOT of ab work.. Stronger abs mean less muscle cramps in the ab region and help to keep your body upright..hleping you to run faster.. I hope this helps|||OMG yes ! Lift Lift I'm a distance runner at my college Farmingdale State and I know that you must lift to prevent injury, also like it was said before by another, low weight and more reps! but not too low on the Ibs man, train hard and believe in yourself !! Good luck !|||YES!!!!!
YES YES
to be a good runner you have to be strong all around, in every part of your body. runners are skinny simply because they have NO fat on them (it all gets burnt up!!)

What kind of weightlifting on the bench press and otherkinds of stuff will not affect growth?
hello i weightlift a lot and i love building muscle....theres one problem i havnt grown fully yet....i am going through puberty and i dont want to ruin growth by weightlifting...but if i stop weightlifting my muscles willbe shorter and and will lose my max bench press and all that kind of stuff....I was wondering what kind of benching do i do.....i know that maxing out can hurt your growth seriously so i dont do thata lot...maybe only 1 time every 2 mounths......So is there something i could do to not affect growth and still weightlift....it is my greatest hobbie. Maybe i could do 3 sets of eight and keep working my way up(raising the weight) and how many times a week do you think i should do this...thank you for all the help!|||Growth is primarily a genetic + nutritional issue. Lifting, sans steroids, is not going to change your genetic predisposition. It can alter your appearance, but not change your ultimate height and overall physical type (meso, endo, ectomorph).
Weight training is something that you can do for your entire life. Don't become overly concerned with your maximum bench amount - this you can work on once you are 17 or older (suggested). We (men) are typically overly concerned with being strong - remember, there is always someone stronger. Work on a balanced body rather than just your chest.
Also, muscles have a 'memory'. I didn't life for over 20 years and within a year, I was back to my old max.
Remember diet. Some additional protein is good - too much is bad (kidney/liver).
Good luck.|||The only type of weightlifting you should avoid at your age is lifting that involves compression of the spine...heavy deadlifts, heavy squats, Olympic style overhead lifting.
Exercising with weights, such as bench pressing, does not compress the spine and will not interfere with your height.
That is largely a myth anyway.|||Take my advice. Dont heavy squat or deadlift. Youll end up shorter than u should be (like me) and wit major back pain. Not as much risk wit benching. Your arms handle compression a lot better than your spine

How do I do weightlifting at home,all I have is a set of Dumbells.?
How do I start with weightlifting I am only a beginner , what is the safest way?|||You really need Barbells and an adjustable bench to do a relativly wide range of excercises.
With those three pieces of equipment its mainly some back, leg an abdomen excercises you will not be able to do - but at least there are some excercises you can do for these parts of the body.
It depends what you are doing weight training for.
From an earler question of yours I suspect you are in your teens in which case free weights can be dangerous partcularly if you try and train too hard. You should really have some supervision initially to ensure you are doing the excercises in the correct way - not as easy as it may appear -and that you are not trying to lift weights that are too heavy. If this is not possible then get a book on weight training and follow the instructions for each excercise. A good book should point out the most likely errors of 'form'.
Muscle Mechanics by Everett Aaberg is particularly good for this - you can get it on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/search/ref=sr鈥?/a>|||weightlifting can hurt your body if you arent a adult|||Dumbbells are an excellent way to start with lifting weights. I hope you have more than just the little 5 lb dumbbells since if you have at least a marginal degree of strength lifting heavier weights should be no problem. But to answer your question, start out doing three sets of 16 with a weight that you're comfortable with, work your way up to three sets of 20, then move up in weight to something you can only comfortably do 3 sets of 12 with, then once you're up to 3x15 start moving up to weights you can only do 3 sets of 5-10 with, and once you can do more than that, move up. There's all kinds of exercises you can do, curls, overhead presses, bent over rows, and tons of other things. The first two years that I lifted weights, I only had a set of two 25 lb dumbbells, a 50 lb dumbbell, and after a few months, a set of 30 lb dumbbells.
And to the above posters: Weights are no more dangerous than the stuff kids do for fun. I started a nephew of mine lifting weights the same way you'd start out an adult and progressed him into an adult's lifting routine when he was about 9 years old and he turned out just fine. He's an adult now. Also, I started lifting when I was 15-16, and learned to lift the way a grown man would lift. It was honestly less strenuous than when I'd help my dad lift and carry heavy logs. Sorry for the rant but I just needed to shoot down the "weightlifting stunts your growth" crap.

But to answer your question, start out doing three sets of 16 with a weight that you're comfortable with, work your way up to three sets of 20, then move up in weight to something you can only comfortably do 3 sets of 12 with, then once you're up to 3x15 start moving up to weights you can only do 3 sets of 5-10 with, and once you can do more than that, move up. There's all kinds of exercises you can do, curls, overhead presses, bent over rows, and tons of other things. The first two years that I lifted weights, I only had a set of two 25 lb dumbbells, a 50 lb dumbbell, and after a few months, a set of 30 lb dumbbells.
And to the above posters: Weights are no more dangerous than the stuff kids do for fun. I started a nephew of mine lifting weights the same way you'd start out an adult and progressed him into an adult's lifting routine when he was about 9 years old and he turned out just fine. He's an adult now. Also, I started lifting when I was 15-16, and learned to lift the way a grown man would lift. It was honestly less strenuous than when I'd help my dad lift and carry heavy logs. Sorry for the rant but I just needed to shoot down the "weightlifting stunts your growth" crap.
Is it better to take protein before or after weightlifting?
Is it better to take protein before or after weightlifting? And how much protein or what kind of supplements are good to take any particular brands or types?|||Make sure to eat a meal that consists mostly of low to moderate rated carbs (gylcemic index) to provide energy for your workout appox. 30 min. before. After working out within one to two hours consume a ratio of 4:1 carbs to protein (40 grams of carbs, 10 grams of protein). Then two hours later eat a regular meal consisting mainly of protein. Your total protein intake should be about one gram per pound of body weight for the entire day. So if you weigh 150 lbs. then you will consume 150 grams of protein.|||Hi,

dcprice1@shaw.ca|||it's better to take your protein after your workout. Get one that has some fat in it as well fat is still good. Make sure you have a good diet to go with your workout. Do not buy supplements from the gym or GNC as they are way over-priced. Go to a reputable health food store. Maybe you can start with whey -protein and add a little glutamine.....good luck|||I take cytosport protien shakes and I take it before and after workouts because it gives better results of size and wont make u sor as much when u take protien before or after.

Then the stomach is really revved up to absorb better. I find that a small can of chicken breast in water is all the protein supplement I need. I drain the water, eat 1 can a day. Anything from a cow does not digest well in us. Including creatine.|||Well from what I know from my nutrtion studying, is that it's good to eat protein before AND after, but not too large meals, probably just snacks, and fish, un-fried meat, and vitinam C are the best to get energy for workouts and everyday living. Also, another thing to keep yourself from getting dehyrated is switch other drinks you drink TO water, but once in a while after you get sick of water you could drink fruit drinks, but no arfictinal flavors added, that's a poison just to make the drink taste better. Hope this helped, good bye

Is a personal trainer worth it? Especially if it's my first time weightlifting in the gym?

i'd say it's best to start with one until you learn all the stretches and techniques you need, then carry on without. it's important to know what training you need to do to get where you want to be physically and stretching is very important too.
you can find this information online if you look hard enough but a trainer will help you put it into practice|||Depends on the personal trainers in your gym. I've seen some terrible personal trainers who do not know a thing about exercising, get sent of for a weekend course and they're in the gym the next day advising clients.
A good trainer would be wise though even for the first week or so to ensure you are following a good program and using correct technique.|||Yes, personal trainer can help you out getting proper exercises according to your body structure and will definitely suggest you the diet plan so that you can work out more for your muscles and without getting weak.
Right combination of healthy diet plan and exercising can make you fit and fine.|||Yes. A lot of gyms will give you a free session to help get you started. Its a good idea to have the first session, both to help learn the correct techniques for the various machines (and thereby avoid injury) and also they will help design a workout plan.

Will performing lots of push ups and pull ups with heavy weightlifting affect my weightlifting gains?
Also will heavy weightlifting affect the gains from doing push ups and pull ups?|||Use one or both parts...
* Choose calorie-rich foods like granola, bagels, biscuits, avocados, olives, corn, meat, nuts, peanut butter, milk, yogurt and cheese.
* Add extra calories to your meals by using milk instead of water for soups, sauces and hot cereals.
* Sprinkle powdered milk into casseroles.
* Add calorie-rich foods (like avocado, cheese and dressing) to sandwiches and salads
* Mix beans, meat or cheese into pasta or side dishes
* Snack on yogurt, shakes, crackers and dip
* Keep a food diary for a week or so to get an idea of what you're eating and where you can add more calories
The trick is to add calories without adding too much saturated fat. You can also consider downing smoothies or meal replacement shakes in between meals.
Lift, Lift, Lift
Once you get your calories under control, you need to start lifting weights. This will help you gain more muscle and help minimize the amount of fat you gain (although you should expect to gain some fat as well). Folks trying to gain muscle should:
* Lift heavy. This means lifting enough weight that you can only complete about 6-8 repetitions of each exercise. The last few reps should be difficult--the last one should be really hard, but not impossible.
* Have longer recovery periods between sets
* Have more recovery days between workouts
* Use spotters to avoid injury
* Continue with cardio, but keep it at maintenance level--around 2-3 days of cardio a week to keep your heart in shape
* Start with a full body program 2-3 nonconsecutive days a week, if you're a beginner. Allow your body a few weeks to get used to lifting weights before you tackle more intense routines.

The best method for weightlifting is to do a "split routine" where you work chest/back 1 day, biceps/triceps/shoulders the next day, abs and legs the 3rd day, and repeat that the next 3 days (and rest on the 7th day). That routine gave me the best progress of my life.
Are there certain exercises runners need to include in their weightlifting program?
Can I include exercises such as the bench press or squat into my weightlifting program for strength purposes? Do the exercises have to do with what the runner does when he is training or does he perform exercises which help build strength? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.|||Squats are a great way to improve overall leg strength and explosion. You should work out with bench press as well because upper body is an important part of running. Plylometrics are also good for developing fast twitch muscles if you are a sprinter. Just make sure you dont get too bulky especially if your a distance runner. Sprinters usually have more bulk to them because they need to be powerful in order to move down the track that fast.|||PLYOMETRICS! do a crapload of them. and squats those are always good. just make sure you do things efficiently with stretching and crap, so you dont get hurt.

Getting older but still love to feel toned and healthy, good for the mind as well as the body.
generally do yoga and use my body weight in yoga push ups and try to do arm stands, not too good at them but trying is better then nothing. I use a body bar and some 2.2 kilo hand weights but not as often as I should do, only 2-3 days a week.
In fact, it's time to run and start working out.|||Funny you should ask! I keep a two-pound barbel next to my computer. I only have one (There used to be two, but one has disappeared), so I alternate from side to side while I sit at the computer. When I am thinking or reading, I do upper body or arm exercises, hoping to have the firm slender arms I once did and to keep the circulation going.|||Yes - I have lazy dogs of various weights. I am usually required to weight Conan's dead weight several times a day since he is known to sleep in my path. The new one is little %26amp; lightweight but is known to hop about into laps or chairs and also requires lifting most of the day.|||Yes, I do! I use two five pound weights for each hand. I have a pressurized stepper as well. I do at least 200 steps a day and use my hand weights while watching TV, or reading.
I also do kata's from when I studied karate. This helps me to keep balance and agility.
I do sit-ups too.
As we age, there are certain areas fat stores, naturally: the ankles, above the knees, behind the elbows, in the stomach and around the hip area. Some, get fat deposits under the eye as well.

First time going to the gym to start weightlifting, would getting a personal trainer hurt?
That way he'll teach me the right ways. I'm 17 years old and I'm really skinny and weigh about 126 lbs but want to start weightlifting to get muscular and toned up. Should I get me a personal trainer for a few sessions?
Thanks.|||No, 99% of personal trainers are worthless unless they are a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist or a registered Dietitian.
If you want to get big and strong here is the best beginer's program out there:
Drink a GALLON of WHOLE milk a day. Eat plenty of eggs, lean ground beef (or other red meat), tuna, almonds, walnuts, whole-wheat pasta, multigrain bread, beans of all sorts, and plenty of raw vegetables and fruits to balance it out. You should be eating a meal every 2-3 hours and consuming between 2000-4000 calories a day. Also make sure you are getting no less then 6 hours of sleep a night.
Get a workout that looks like this, and make sure you start with a fairly heavy weight 75-100 lbs and make sure to rest at least 2 minutes between working sets (not warm up sets):
Workout A:
Squats 3 sets of 5
Bench press 3 sets of 5
Dead lift 1 sets of 5
Workout B:
Squats 3 sets of 5
Shoulder press 3 sets of 5
Power Cleans 5 sets of 3
Alternate every other day (EX: Monday 鈥?workout A, Wednesday - workout B, Friday - workout A. Next Week: Monday - workout B, Wednesday 鈥?workout A, Friday 鈥?workout A. Etc.) Add 5 lbs everyday (10 lbs to dead lifts).
You should warm up for each lift like this:
2 sets of 5 with just the bar
1 set of 5 with 25% of the weight
1 set of 3 with 50% of the weight
1 set of 2 with 75% of the weight
You can add dips to the workout if you also want prettier arms.
If you want more details about this workout you can find everything you want to know by looking up Mark Rippetoe and feel free to email me with any questions or comments.|||If you have the money then sure go right ahead if not you can always use the internet to find workouts that you could at the gym.

How long till i see results in my weightlifting?
im 15 121 pounds, trying to gain weight so ive been doing weightlifting, Ive realised i can eat whatever i want but no getting fat but im not doing that i know the nutrition, Going back to lifting, I have made a workout program i lift everyday (different muscle groups)
Also is lifting 7kg in bicep curl impresive for a 15 year old?|||Keep an eye on nutrition and make sure you get lots of protein. Since you weigh 121 pounds, you should be getting about 120 grams of protein a day. Your diet should be 40-40-20 , 40% protein, 40% carbs, 20% fat.
As for the lifting, you didn't include your routine, so I don't know. Juts make sure you hit each muscle group. And don't exercise the same muscle group in back-to-back days. You need 48 hours rest to actually build the muscle. It's during the resting phase that muscle are rebuilding, so you really sabotage yourself if you don't rest.
Oh, and I guess 7kg is about 15.4 pounds - that's not that impressive. For a goal I'd shoot for 25% of your body weight - about 30 pounds.

How much weight is on the bar - Weightlifting question?
I have a question about weightlifting. Example: I have a bar bell, and I put one 10lb plate on one end, and other 10lb plate on the other end. Does this equal 10lbs, or 20lbs? Same goes with small and large bars. I guess I'm wondering because I want to know if I'm curling 10lbs or 20lbs, and I'm not sure! Thanks!|||it equals 20lbs.
When is the right age to start Weightlifting?
I am 15 years old and wanted to know if i can start weightlifting now.|||Lawl I am 12 and I weightlift. But maybe I can because I am 5'8, I am pretty tall for my age and I have longer legs and I think arms then my 6'2 dad.

Can someone who is anemic Have a weightlifting workout routine with out complications?
Can someone who is anemic Have a weightlifting workout routine with out complications?
Or do some tests have to be ran before they can workout?|||It really depends on the type and severity of the anemia. There are many different types of anemia and they will have slightly different effects on the body under the stress of exercise.
Most often, mild cases of anemia are actually improved with a weightlifting routine. This is because when people start a weightlifting routine, there will definitely be dietary adjustments. Typically, people start eating more calories in general, and specifically, more protein. This is naturally a good thing for anemic people, especially if the protein comes from red meat. In addition, the body will naturally produce more red cells and more hemoglobin in response to the exercise. This is called exercise induced erythropoiesis.
However, if you are VERY severely anemic, you would definitely need to get your anemia corrected BEFORE you even attempt any vigorous exercise. I am a nutritionist and trainer and I had a client years ago who went exercising while severely anemic (Hemoglobin of 5 g/dl. VERY low) and ended up collapsing mid exercise.
Always consult your doctor if you are in doubt.|||You're not doing light or moderate weightlifting.
See a doctor to get you levels checked.
You can accommodate deficiencies by eating liver, red meat, and spinach (those are the ones I remember, I've had issues with anemia for years and did anything I could to avoid taking the iron pills).
Once you begin treating the starting levels, your body should start helping the anemia. Have it checked in a few months and you'll likely be fine.|||Not if you are eating a healthy diet and taking vitamins. Do it slowly at short duration and low intensity and see if your body can handle it. It is best to consult a doctor first ofcourse.

Weightlifting and Cardio in the same workout?
I am trying to lose some weight, as well as build some muscle. I heard that it is not good to do both Cardio and Weightlifting in the same workout. Is this true? I feel that sometimes even after I am done weightlifting i could squeeze out 20 minutes on the treadmill.|||It's fine to do both cardio and weight training in the same workout, provided you have the energy. We all agree on this one.
In terms of what order, there are two things to consider:
1.) Weight training requires more focus and energy than cardio, especially if you are working hard and heavy. Aside from a quick, light five minute warmup on an exercise bike or treadmill, performing cardio BEFORE weight training can have a negative impact on intensity during weight training. In other words, you'll be more fatigued, which means you may not be able to work your muscles as hard. This means gains and progress can come more slowly.
In fact, 2000 study at Southern Cross University in Australia found that men who exercised on a stationary bike for 30 minutes were weaker for up to six hours after their training session ended. So this suggests that you may want to hit the weights BEFORE lifting.
2.) There is also a theory -- and that's all it is right now -- that your body may burn more fat if you perform cardio AFTER weight lifting. Weight training depletes muscle and liver glycogen more quickly than cardio, so when you perform cardio after your weight training, when less glycogen is available, your body may burn more fat during cardio. However, the jury is still out on this. It's not clear which sequence causes the greatest fat loss. Research suggests that doing cardio first results in the greatest increase in post-exercise metabolism. However, weight training first appears to increase hormones that speed fat use (specifically, growth hormone, epinephrine andnorepinephrine.)
Lastly, 20 minutes of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) immediately following your weight training may be all of the cardio you need to strip off fat. There is a growing body of scientific data that suggests that HIIT training is very effective at burning fat while preserving lean tissue.
Bottom line is try one approach for 30 days and the switch to the other approach for the next 30 days and compare results. You need to find the right mix for you.
Best of luck!|||Its fine to do both.
For weight loss, id do the cardio before the lifting- at least enought to get your heart rate up to a target rate, that will help you burn calories while lifting.|||i definately agree with the doing cardio works outs first, and stretching. getting your heart rate up isnt exactly an important aspect of weight lifting but warming youre muscles up definatley is.
run your treadmill time, stretch out your body then do some reps, you can do cardio every day without breaking your body down, but remember to make sure you only do the weights every other day for upper body.|||of course you can do both. you should always do cardio first. it warms up your muscles and raises your heart rate. then lift. always only part, maybe arms monday, legs wed and, shouldters and back on friday. with cardio each day. good luck!
i've had a personal trainer for 3 years and he gets pissed if i just lift and skip the cardio. :)

Is weightlifting not good for your height?
I am 13 years old and want to go the gym for weightlifting but my parents say that it will slow your growing down.|||yes weightlifting will make you short because too much weight will compress your bones instead of stretching it. If you will eat too much because of tiredness you will become fat and short. I prefer hat you will just jog and have a balanced diet. Just wait until you are in 18 years old or above...
hope this helps |||'Is weightlifting not good for your height?'
only if you drop it!
m you're not recommended to start any real weight-lifting training until you are 16 n the Australian Institute of Sport
and my sport science teacher said once that if you can't lift something more than ten times it can and will damage your ligaments,
so i wouldn't recommend starting until you are a few years older,
and even then only with a weight you are comfortable with|||Yeah, I wouldn't overdo the weightlifting. I find its important to balance weight training with stretching and other limbering exercises. That way you are working your tendons and muscles, as well as your flexibility and agility (which promotes growth in adolescents). Also, I would wait a couple of years before any heavy lifting. Really, you can get a ripped body, using nothing more than your own weight. Try some knuckle push ups (vertical with body) and tiger presses. That will totally rip your chest and arms.|||No, it doesn't slow your growing. But it can overburden your muscles and skeleton if you do too much too soon. At 13 you are in a hurry to get your body to mature. You can remember being treated "like a kid" and you want to be treated like an adult.
So do some light weights and jump rope and swim. The muscles will appear on their own. You can tell where your body is headed by looking at your dad and uncles and grandfathers. |||haha i have been through that too. 13 is wayy to young for gym. u can do a LOT of stuff at home to gain muscle though.
push ups, sit ups, crunches, squats, lunges
all of those simple things if done enough on daily basis they will help lotss!!
trust me

i am 14 right
and weighed 45kg but then month ago parents got me 4kg dumbel
just been lifting it about 20 times, rest 25 times rest then ive been working way up
in last month i have put on 5 kg!!
and yes weightlifting is very bad for your height
notice how most of professional weightlifters are tiny..
|||I think that what did your parents say is right because you only 13 years old but you have already weightlifting.It will make you growth slow down because the thing that you lifting is heavier than you.I don't know if is not good for health but as I know it not suitable for age like you....|||I think so.

Is it normal to feel nauseous and wanting to vomit after a strenous session of weightlifting?
I exercise and do weightlifting. I recently started doing squats and deadlifts as part of my routine, replacing the leg presses, lunges etc with the full body and compound moves that the squat and deadlift offers.
I combine squats and deadlifts into my lower body routine, doing both on the same session in the same day. Both are done in 3 sets of 10. After finishing these sets I feel light headed almost always feel like vomiting. It is only with squats and deadlifts that give me this feeling, any other muscle group I am fine with no matter how hard I push myself.
I have 10 months of weightlifting experience and I am 22 years old. I squat nearly my own bodyweight for 3 sets, and deadlift the same. I understand that you pick a weight that you can manage for 10 reps but no more than 12, so that muscles work to near failure for gains. This is what I'm lifting now for all body parts. So how come I feel like vomiting? How come not so for the chest/back where I exert even more?|||I assume that you use a belt when doing DL and SQ. Think about it, when you do these lifts the blood rushes to your legs, but can't flow back to the rest of your body due to the belt. That said, your belt may be too tight... I personally don't use a belt unless I'm near 80% of my one repetition max. Try that, and see if it helps.

How do I get rid of weightlifting stretch Marks?
I have been weightlifting trying to build muscle, i recently got stretch marks and i need something to get rid, or help these fade... PLEASE HELP!!!!!|||Once you get them you can't get rid of them completely but you can reduce the appearance of them so they are almost unnoticeable.
To prevent further stretch marks build up your muscle slowly because putting to much stress on your skin in such a short period causes the skin to tear and cause these scars.
Improve the elasticity of your skin so that it becomes stronger and looks healthier.|||Try Brenese Cacao Butter Cream (www.bcpcreams.com). It is the best cream out there for stretch marks and it is natural. It is about $45 but all worth it. It is so concentrated that you only need very little. I have used it for three months and after three kids I needed all the help. It reduced my stretch marks and as I continue to use it, my stretch marks seem like they are actually healing. I think it works so well because it has Cacao Butter, Shea Butter and Jojoba oil as the major ingredients. I also used all over my body, it works as an anti aging cream for the body. Who would have thought that I would get rid of my stretch marks and look younger at the same time. You should start seeing results in about seven days. Let me know how it goes.

To prevent further stretch marks build up your muscle slowly because putting to much stress on your skin in such a short period causes the skin to tear and cause these scars.
Improve the elasticity of your skin so that it becomes stronger and looks healthier.|||Try Brenese Cacao Butter Cream (www.bcpcreams.com). It is the best cream out there for stretch marks and it is natural. It is about $45 but all worth it. It is so concentrated that you only need very little. I have used it for three months and after three kids I needed all the help. It reduced my stretch marks and as I continue to use it, my stretch marks seem like they are actually healing. I think it works so well because it has Cacao Butter, Shea Butter and Jojoba oil as the major ingredients. I also used all over my body, it works as an anti aging cream for the body. Who would have thought that I would get rid of my stretch marks and look younger at the same time. You should start seeing results in about seven days. Let me know how it goes.
