The lower the weights, the stronger and leaner your muscles will become with more repetitions. If you want bigger muscles, you should try heavier weights.

What happened to muscles when you do weightlifting?

your body makes more muscle tissues, which makes you "Ripped" Where ever your working towards.

When this occurs, you should take a break and do some breathing exercises.

Using Weights Exercise to Tone and Lose Fat?

It is a commonly held misconception that using weights is only for people who want to get big, bulky muscles. This turns a lot of people off from using weights entirely, and this is a very negative thing. The fact is that weight training is absolutely vital to proper toning and weight loss, but you have to use a different approach. Instead of using heavy weights with low reps, you should use lighter weights with higher reps. When you do this, you are activating more muscles over a longer interval of time. This not only tones the muscle, but burns the fat around it.


Why does the eye of a cyclone get smaller as the cyclone get bigger?

It's not necessarily that the eye gets smaller as the cyclone gets bigger so much as the eye gets bigger when the cyclone gets stronger. There is no direct correlation between the size of a cyclone and its intensity. All cyclones are low pressure systems. The lower the pressure, the stronger the cyclone. The eye wall, which immediately surrounds the eye, marks the point where the inward force of the low pressure is balanced with the tendency for air to get flung outward by the rotation. A lower pressure means a stronger inward pull and thus a smaller eye.


Can strength training increase body weight?

It will make your muscles bigger which will seem to make your parts bigger, but it doesn't make your arms or legs or anything else grow. Your parts will probably become bigger around if measured, but that's muscle growth. it can make muscles larger and bones stronger. If you are worried about looking fatter don't. If you want larger breasts wont work. Weight training alone does not make your body parts bigger. To get bigger, you must eat above your maintenance calories. Muscles do not grow out of thin air. You must feed the body what it needs to support your weight training. If you don't feed it enough calories, then you will never grow.


Can you lift weights on a low carb diet?

yes you can lift weights on a low carb diet. What I believe would happen is the body would be forced to burn up its fat rather than use carbs from whatever food source you ingest resulting in a more sculpted physique. Just make sure to get enough lean protein to build and support your muscles during this type of diet.
