Do you know what the difference between weightlifting, powerlifting and bodybuilding is?

I do but im not sure people on here do.


WEIGHTLIFTING is an olympic sport that consists of 2 lifts.


clean and jerk, and, snatch.


you win by lifting the most weight


POWERLIFTING is not an olmpic sport and some people actually think they can say its not a sport at all. It consists of 3 lifts.


squat, benchpress, and, deadlift


you win by lifting the most weight


BODYBUILDING is where guys/girls try to make themselves have big lean bodies. not a sport.


you win by looking good.


.


Did you know that?


|||To be honest there isnt much difference actually at all...


No matter what your goal is you're still gonna be doing sets. doing reps, and lifting iron. Weightlifting is a universal word for iron being lifted. You shoul've said the difference of powerlifting and bodybuilding. Weight lifting is like saying base ball, not knowing whether your training to hit or to field.





Powerlifting is a olympic sport idiot.


Bodybuilding is a sport idiot.


What is wrong with your sources man? Your an idiot.|||Powerlifting guide

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?|||Cardio because ab workouts do not burn fat but only strenghten your abs.|||Spot reduction has been proven to be impossible.


The first dude who answered your question may have lost 2 inches off his waist, but he forgot to take note that he also lost fat uniformly throughout his body.





Doing ab exercises will make the abdominal muscles grow/get toned.


Weightlifting will burn calories throughout the whole day.


Cardio will burn many calories at once.





If you had to choose one, I would say moderate to intense cardiovascular exercise for at least an hour every other day.





For best results, do all three :D|||cardio!


and also swimming!


doing ab.. really dong going to work!.


but if i were you.. I'll convine..


swim %26amp; cardio.

Workout regime for weightlifting to increase bench max?

Does anyone know of a workout plan with weightlifting that I can do at the gym to increase my bench max and get stronger and faster overall? I play fullback and linebacker. Thanks in advance.|||do a lot of tricep work to get your bench press up and do closed grip bench pressing|||Bench Max: Take your current max, and add it by a half (so if my max is 100, I'll do 150). Take it all the way down, and get a spotter to help you get it up. Then do it by a fourth (so if my max is 100, I'll do 125) with a spotter, then do your max by yourself. Do maybe 3 sets of this.





Faster: Warm up by doing maybe a mile of medium jogging. Then, sprint as fast as possible for 15 seconds, jog, Sprint for 20 seconds, jog, Sprint for 25 seconds, jog, sprint for 15 seconds, jog, sprint for 12 seconds, light jog, you're done.|||Sprint for 25 seconds, jog, sprint for 15 seconds, jog, sprint for 12 seconds, light jog, you're done.|||Plenty of pushups. Wide, Diamond, Regular just do them all. aim for 600 a day.

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

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.
