Are the legs the strongest part of the human body?
Yes. They can stand about 1500 lbs. before buckling. And, they are 20 times stronger than your back, and 50 times stronger than your arms. If you are not convinced, when was the last time you ran with someone on your back piggy-back style when you were "walking on your arms?"
Relationship between atheles and recovery heart rate?
The recovery heart rate tells you how fit you are. Thus the relationship between the two is simple. Athletes will have a low recovery rate making them very healthy and fit.
Can you gain muscle with testorone?
You are planning on using testosterone supplements like steroids; dude, don't do it. Visit your family doctor, or a Urologist, and talk about testicular health and the optimal way to obtain it to ensure maximum testosterone levels, but DO NOT, use testosterone supplements or black market testosterone. Yes the hormone IS responsible for muscle growth, and it also helps to determine muscle strength. Why do you think you have situations where a smaller man is stronger than a larger one, or two men of the same size have different strength levels? It has to do with testosterone output and flow; two men who weigh and are built the same, may not have the same strength.
Muscle size though, is not just affected by testosterone; the strongest women in the world, all thickly limbed "bertha" types, the maximum they can bench press is often around 380 lbs or so. The strongest men can bench 550 lbs on average. Usually, a "bertha" type strong woman, weights around 220 to 250, a lot of it solid muscle. There are men as light as 175 lbs, who can bench press 350 lbs, even though a "bertha" woman may in fact have more muscle tissue. Strength is determined by testosterone, in that it does make muscles bigger, but more importantly, the chemical allows muscles to soak up A LOT of oxygen, which it then burns to cause the body to exert strength. In other words, lung capacity is important.
The reason steroids or heavy use of testosterone supplements are a VERY bad idea, is because the intake will cause the muscles to take in so much of the oxygen the body breathes in, the body can not work fast enough to replace the carbon dioxide it is trying so hard to get rid of, in other words, testosterone can cause your body to poison itself if there is too much of it. Moreover, because testosterone is involved with stimulation of the central nervous system (that is why its easier for men to focus), if it does not flow properly from exercise, it becomes a neurotoxic venom, if taken in as anabolic steroids, it can become an especially POTENT form of that venom. Although they said it for all the incorrect reasons, feminists are right about one thing; we men of all ages, do have poison flowing in our system. It has to be poison by its very nature, to keep central nervous system function, and to stimulate the intake of oxygen not to mention protein during puberty.
Charles Atlas was right you know; fresh air is important to strength development. Charles Atlas developed his training methods, from personal observations of Lions stretching, of all places, the Central Park zoo in New York. Personally I'd love to visit Charles Atlas' former home in New York; don't know if its safe to go to that place of Conney Island anymore though. Moving on; the fresh air thing, he got from the ancient Greeks. Although, the air the ancient Greeks most recommended you breathe to develop strength, was sea air. The salt, helps to keep germs out of your system, sea air, assuming there is no heavy settlement nearby, is the purest air you can breathe. The optimal place to strength train believe it or not, is indeed a deserted beach. The salty air, is purified, and the salt content helps the body's defenses. If you suffer from bacne, the sun will help your skin.
Yes, you can gain muscle, but don't do it. I recomend you Google "Charles Atlas," and carefully study everything he says to the letter if you have never strength trained before. If you have strength trained, you can take his exercises and do them how you wish; you can circuit them, do for strength only, toning only, whatever.
How much should you bench-press if you weigh 112 pounds?
I'm 13 yrs old and I'm 111 and when i bench press i usually bench 80-110.
Jorgie145- A good reference to use is if you can bench you own weight about 10 times. You are considered more "elite" when you can bench twice your body weight or more.
Which muscle would be exercised to increase upper body strength?
For the most part its biceps and triceps. but back and shoulder muscles are very important too.
The concept that represents the most encompassing aspect of your life is d.) emotional health.
The effects of exercise are at many levels since the increased activity requires a parallel increase in the rate of metabolism and produces waste products that must be disposed. In addition the increased activity produces heat that is dissipated at a cost in lost of fluid (blood volume decreases) and salt loss.

Where can you learn Tai Chi on your own?
I recommend Terence Dunn's DVD "Tai Chi for Health; The Yang Long Form." It has a very basic package regarding the rudimentary basics of Tai Chi Chuan, and a moderately comprehensive instructional section on the Yang Long Form itself. Here are tips to learn the yang long form;
1) Be PATIENT.
2) Do not skimp on the details, and constantly "rotate" Mr. Dunn so that, in your mind, he is facing the same direction as you. It is really confusing, if you try to follow his movements, before you follow any movements, in your imagination, "rotate" Mr. Dunn, so that in your living room or T.V. room, he faces the same direction as you, and THEN follow his movements.
3) Follow his movements, all the while making a mental tape reccording, don't just watch and follow, memorize. I recommend, two to three steps at a time.
4) With every session you spend with the DVD, memorize a total of 5 steps per session, and keep a strict limit of 5 steps, and only 5 steps, until you practice those 5 steps 10 times. Memorize 5 steps, and practice them 10 times, to memorize them well. Then, memorize 5 more; within a day, you may end up memorizing a total of 15 steps. Practice those 15 steps for the duration of the week, setting aside one hour for practice, just one hour, as you only need one.
5) At the end of the week, set aside the weekend, Saturday and Sunday, to learn more steps. The Yang Long Form is divided into three sections; the 24 step beginer's form, the 56 step intermediate form, and finally the 108 step "master's" form, which in fact is just all the moves you've learned connected together. That is, you move 24 steps, and then you cross your hands. You move a few more steps reaching 56 steps, and then you cross your hands again in front of your chest, the movement is called "as if closing." You do a few more steps and then you cross your hands yet again, having done a total of 108 steps, but this time, you actually bring the form to a conclusion, you "close it." Because there is a total of 108 steps to learn....
6) Practice the first 24 steps for at least a month, before you move on to the second set of steps. Again, patience is key here.
7) Now, to help with the raw volume, with the next set of steps after the first 24, learn 10, and practice them on their own. Here's what I'm talking about; first, memorize steps 1 through 24, and practice hard, 1 to 2 hours a day, for a month, so you know steps 1 through 24 REALLY well, so that there is absolutely zero doubt that you know what you know, so that you do not constantly have to consult Mr. Dunn's DVD. Okay, once you know you have learned steps 1 through 24 really well, move on to steps 25 through 56, repeating the same process that you used to learn steps 1 through 24. Sorry for not being clear. That is, every weekend, you impose upon yourself a limit of only 10 steps, and only 10 steps because trust me, learning only 5 steps will be difficult enough, as they are stringed together. When you practice...
8) Practice first, the most recent set of steps you learned, 5 times, and then practice steps 1 through 24, one time. If you practiced steps 1 through 24 for a whole month, for an hour a day every day, as many repetitions as an hour will allow, you should know steps 1 through 24 so well, you only need to practice once to refresh your memory. It is more important, to practice the most recently learned steps first, and practice them at LEAST 5 times a day, 10 times if possible. Do this, for about two weeks or so. At the end of the two weeks, connect the most recently learned steps, with the first 24.
9) Now, practice, practice, practice, again for a whole month, to make absolutely sure, you know the steps well. Next, move on to the next set of 10 steps, practice the latest set 10 times a day for at least a week, the steps prior to that, the ones you know really well, only once. The "large well known chunk of steps," you only need to practice once, the "recently learned small chunk," you practice as much as possible, for at least a week. Before you know it, you will be doing steps 1 through 56. Practice those, once again, for at least a week, at least 5 times; by now, because you know steps 1 through 56, Tai Chi Chuan is consuming much time, and because there are more steps to practice you will need a total of 2 months before you move on to the next set.
10) Once again, for the final set of steps, keep repeating the same cycle; practice the steps you know very well only once, but the latest set of 10, at least 10 times, eveyr day for a week until the next weekend, and then teach yourself another 10, and another 10, and another 10 when finally, after a total of 4 months of hard training and practice, and a total of roughly 7 hours of DVD learning...
11) You know the entire Yang Long Form. Congratulations.
It takes roughly 7 hours of learning, but 4 months of PRACTICE, and repetitions for the sake of memorization, to learn the Yang Long Form of Tai Chi Chuan. It IS possible to learn it on your own, if you are patient. If you do not like my method of memorizing things, you can consult two different kinds of people, to help you memorize the Yang Long Form, as there IS quite a bit to memorize;
1) If you are still in high school or college, your Drama teacher or professor, ask them how actors memorize scripts, as the techniques used to memorize scripts may be applied towards learning from Terry Dunn's Tai Chi Chuan DVD.
2) A Muslim who knows large chunks of the Koran; Koran memorization, again, involves the same principles as memorizing the steps of a Tai Chi form.
To recap; you learn 10 steps every weekend, and practice them as often as you can, setting aside a solid hour, to practice them as many times as possible within the space of that hour. At this point don't worry about pace or speed; time is short, and you need to go through the motions as often as possible until they are very well memorized. At the end of the week, 10 more steps, and at the end of the week after that, you complete the first set of 24 steps. Twenty four steps may not seem like a lot, but timewise, if you are repeating the same sequence a lot, trust me it is, so, you have to practice it 5 times a day, every day for a month, before you move on to the next set of 10. After you have extensively practiced the first chunk for a month, from then on, you only have to do it once, as by then you should have it well memorized. Make it a point to practice the most recent set of steps first, while doing the "more established in memory" set of steps once. If you feel up for it, at the end of that week, go on ahead and connect the most recent steps, with the first chunk, and practice that 5 times a day for a week.
It sounds confusing I know, but when you take the time to actively memorize you'll know what I'm talking about. Again; patience. Let me warn you know, that in your endeavor to learn the Yang long form, frustration will always be a guest in your room, living room, or T.V. room. The only way to throw frustration out, the only way to deal with it, is to simply not think about how long the form is. The more you dwell on how much there is to memorize, the more disheartened you will become.
Mountain climbers have a rule; never look up, and never look down, always look at what is directly in front of you, and JUST above you, that is your next grip, but NEVER, EVER, look at how much there is left to climb. You do so, and you will panic and loose focus. The same principle applies, when learning the Yang Long Form of Tai Chi Chuan; learning the Yang Long Form, which is 108 steps long, is akin to climbing a mountain, the best way is to keep your sights directly in front, and just above, but NEVER looking at how much there is left, otherwise you become disheartened, loose focus, are unable to concentrate and with concentration lost, you can't memorize anything.
good luck.

How long does it take to the muscle mass gained when you stop working out?
- It takes 72 hours for your body to start losing muscle mass after you stop working out.
- Most good routines I've followed give that muscle group up to 6 days rest (work it 1x a week).
- Two weeks for the body to start lossing muscle mass according to Mike Mentzer.
- It varies from person to person. Some people might take 3 days, others two weeks. It also depends on a person's diet.
- It takes 72 hours for your body to start losing muscle mass after you stop working out. I don't believe that to be correct. Most good routines I've followed give that muscle group up to 6 days rest (work it 1x a week).
- In my opinion, when you train your muscles your body goes through a faze that is called hypertrophy, this is an increase in muscle size, and this happens when you train with weights, or even when you walk a long distance, an increase in muscle mass is called hypertrophy, hence hypertrophy training, now..... when you lose muscle mass, this is called atrophy, it is a faze that your body goes through once you become sedentry or idle or just stop working out, but here is the catch, atrophy starts almost immediately after a workout, and continues until you next train or do some form of hypertrophy training. this isn't a negative thing if, so please don't think you have to work out continuously just to keep the muscle mass you have gained, it is a slow process, but you will feel its effects within a few days of not doing any form of exercise or weight training, this is why it is good to have a continues routine in place, and also to mix up your training schedule, style, and weight level to "shock" your body and allow hypertrophy to continue, also REST is a vital component to keeping your muscles big and healthy so do allow time for this.

What is a Good morning weight lift for women?
Assuming you are asking about the specific lift, Good Morning, this is a wonderful lift to do, assuming you focus primarily on practicing good form. This is an exercise that requires you to simply stand up straight, head up and chest out, feet shoulder with apart, toes slightly facing out. You flex at the hips and bend forward, keeping your back straight, head up, and move your butt straight back. Make sure your shoulders are directly over your toes (do not fall forward or let your heels rise off the floor). Bend until your torso is about parallel to the ground and return back to standing position. Basically, you are performing a theatre or concert bow. Go ahead and bow. Now look forward, straight flat back, and spread your legs about shoulder width while sticking your butt back slightly to position your shoulders over your toes. As I come up from the bend I always tell people it is like waving hi and saying "good morning". Cheesy yes, but it get a chuckle from people.
