What is the main difference between the muscles built through push-ups pull-ups and those built through weightlifting?

It all depends on repetitions. If you can Bench press 'X' amt of weight 10 times and you can only perform 10 push ups, then you're most likely going to get the same trianing effect out of it. The typical trained athlete can perform many push ups and will perform a similar weight lifting exercise for lower reps, example a Bench Press... The effect on these two types of training and the effect on the type of muscle it would build are as follows: Say you can push up 30 times, this is going to help build your endurance, now let's say you can bench press 150lbs 30 times....you're still going to be imporving muscular endurance, now let's say you rack so more weight on the bench press and you have on 225lbs and you can only lift it 10 times, it will give the training effect of hypertrophy, MEANING. growth of your muscle. Most exercise scientists agreee that these rep ranges give these following effects to the body: 12 reps and higher = more endurance work 8-10 reps = muscle mass training 7-5 reps = strength training 4 reps and lower = power training

This is all a little dependent on genetics as well and if you're drug free or not, but this is a pretty sure fire way to know what kind of effect you're going to get from exercising.

Your muscles are composed of two different types of fibers for two different types of workouts. These two types are fast-twitch and slow-twitch. Fast-twitch muscle fibers are used when you are lifting a large amount of weight only a few times (strength). Slow twitch muscle fibers are used when you are lifting a smaller amount of weight many times (endurance). When you do push-ups and pull-ups, you may be utilizing your fast-twitch muscles if you are weak and can only do a few reps. As your endurance increases, you will likely start using your slow-twitch muscles as they develop.

How can exercise change muscle strength?

Muscle strength depends on the thickness of the fibers and the number of fibers contract at one time. And in order to compensate for the added work load,myofibrils are added in in order to increase the thickness of the fibers (more myofibrils,more thickness), hence a stronger muscle.

How is meditation similar to prayer?

In both cases, the soul is quieted ... generally requires sitting or kneeling in a quiet place and being as calm and relaxed as possible. ***************************************************

Well both are a form of spirituality I think. You are quite etc..but it is much more than that. You are trying to get to a place in your mind and body where you are at peace with your own self and your situation in life..you are trying to calm your mind and thoughts and let your mind relax and not think of bills, war etc...Prayer I see as more of us asking things whether it is to give us strength or praying for someone else. Great question!

Is physical talent important?

Definitely not. Heart is more important than talent. It just means you must work that much harder than those with natural abilities.

How does working out help you?

Resistance exercise and cardiovascular exercise can greatly benefit you. Working out regularly can increase bone density (making you less prone to fractures and osteoperosis), reduce body fat, increase lean body mass, and increase muscle strength. It also reduces insulin response to glucose, reduces resting insulin levels, and increases insulin sensitivity- which can reduce your risk of developing type-2 diabetes. Working out also raises HDL (good) cholesterol, lowers LDL (bad) cholesterol, lowers triglycerides, lowers resting heart rate, increases heart stroke volume, increases maximum cardiac output, decrease blood pressure at rest, increases maximum oxygen consumption, increases endurance time, increase resting metabolism and increases one's general health-related quality of life. It's no surprise then that regular exercise appears to reduce the risk of many diseases, ranging from cancer to heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, colds, age-related cognitive decline, and many more. We continue to learn more and more benefits of exercise every day.

How do you become fat?

There are three common ways people gain weight:

Significant overeating is likely to lead to weight gain.

A lack of exercise may do the same.

Some drugs have weight gain as a side effect.

None of these are generally healthy. If you are trying to gain weight, eat more, but make sure that you eat whole foods (unprocessed foods where the nutrients have not been drastically reduced). Ironically, many people who overeat also have deficiencies in certain nutrients because they do not eat a balanced diet of whole foods.

Regardless of whether you are trying to lose, gain, or maintain weight, an adult or teen should always have a minimum of 4 servings of vegetables, 4 servings of fruits, 6 servings of grain, and 3 servings of milk or other, relatively unprocessed dairy foods (ice cream, sadly, has almost none of the original product's health value).

Healthy foods to gain weight (as long as they are unprocessed) include:

Nuts, especially almonds

Fruits, especially avocados (yes, they're fruit!) which are high in healthy fats

Any whole grain products such as bread, black rice, or quinoa (try not to have too much breakfast cereal, as there may be health risks to this)

There are of course many others, but you can find those out on your own easily enough.

Cooking is your friend! Many nutritious foods that would be unappetizing on their own are quite delicious in a recipe. Look for healthy recipes online. It is also easier to consume more calories quickly and enjoyably in a recipe than it would be to eat the raw materials.

Don't eat too much salt, simple sugar, or saturated fat, all of which have health consequences. Complex carbohydrates (generally referred to simply as "Carbohydrates" on a Nutrition label) are good.

Finally, have many snacks and smaller meals. The breaks between eating ensure that you aren't too full to eat.

Using these tips, you will have a reasonably healthy diet and can expect to gain weight at a healthy pace.

Or gain lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of weight like tens of thousands of tons so be lazy eat lots of fat foods like cakes, ice cream, cookies, chips, and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of candy.

Why is sodium bad for weight reducing diets?

Sodium or salt causes you to retain fluids, and retaining fluids increases your weight and size in inches. Too much sodium can also increase your blood pressure.

What is the joint used during crunches?

During crunches, the primary joint involved is the hip joint. As you lift your upper body towards your knees, the hip flexors contract to help raise the torso while stabilizing the spine. The movement primarily targets the abdominal muscles, particularly the rectus abdominis, while the hip joint facilitates the bending motion necessary for the exercise.

do pilates!! twenty minutes a day works wonders for me! alos you can dress to make your thighs look thinner, dark colored jeans, vertical stripes, jeans with whisker wash. Avoid cargo pants with pockets on the legs. They tend to accentuate bulkiness.

How can you lose jelly rolls on your stomach?

Carbonation good or bad for weight training?

I'm not an expert, but I believe carbonated soft drinks are bad for your health in general. While it may not hinder your weight training (though it may, because you could dehydrate yourself or something), water is always going to be the best, and most helpful, choice.
