Can strength training increase body weight?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Yes, but you will have to tailor your workout routine to build muscle mass. Building muscle mass and getting bigger involves lifting heavier weights with low repetitions, while toning up involves lifting lighter weights with more repetitions. Nutrition is also very important.

Answer 3

Yes, but it can also decrease body weight. Strength training itself doesn't alter the mass of your body. However, you will need to eat and drink plenty of water in order to continue strength training (and living, actually), and that will add to your body weight. Sweating and using the bathroom will decrease your body weight.

The benefit of strength training is that more of the weight on your body will be lean, which means that it will contribute more to your strength and other aspects of fitness.
