Patience, exertion and the simple key element to building strength and muscle. No pain = No gain. If you are not pushing your muscles to exhaustion and failure every time then you are not building anything, your just maintaining. Keep pushing yourself and you will find that over time your maxes go up if you have the right diet and give yourself adequate rest between your workout days.
Do research, theres a lot of good information out there if your willing to spend a few hours sorting through it. Good luck
How long does it take to lose your stamina and strength after a 3-week layoff?
You can lose fitness faster than you can, and you can lose it a million times faster than you can gain it. It does depend on your general fitness level and you age. In most cases, younger people can rebound from about a week off alot faster than an older person. However, if you are at a young age and do daily extremely rigorous exercise such as that that a hardcore highschool rower, such as myself, would do, you can lose fitness in as little as three days without working out. Cardiovascularly, you will have changes, probably not noticeable, but changes in about three days but strength loss takes slightly more time to occur
How do you help train young boys to lift weights?
As a former bodybuilder, I can assure that it is neither safe, nor practical for a young boy to be training with weights. This can create all kinds of issues with regards to proper physical development and injuries. On average, it's best to start them when they are in the 14 to 15 age range. However, it is okay to get a young child involved in strength training, which should not be confused with weight training. Younger kids should train with minimal weights and go for high reps. Before getting started, seek out an instructor familiar with developing strength training programs for children. And remember, strength training should be a part of a total fitness program for a child. Make sure they eat well and get plenty of sleep.

How can you increase your cardio respiratory endurance?
Practice. Practicing or training is the way to improve anything. It is the same with fitness exercise. Start slowly, slightly increase what you do at each training session, and give yourself sufficient recovery time between training sessions. Before starting any exercise program, please get the blessing of your physician in advance.
If you have been doing nothing at all, try walking every other day. At each walk, just walk a bit farther until you are walking for four miles nonstop. Then, instead of increasing your distance, just decrease your time slightly until you are walking four miles every other day in between 56 minutes and one hour. You may then go on to a jogging or running program. Do it the same way: start slowly and work a bit harder each time. For more information about cardio exercise, including cardio walking, see the page links, further down this page, listed under Related Questions.
How do you pass PE in high school?
Always dress out and participate. In school, the purpose of PE is for developing social skills, sportsmanship, and fitness in every student. You should always try your best, whether you're training, playing sports, or discussing anything with your coach. Outside of PE class, you should run often, play sports with some friends, work out, and eat lavish fruits and vegetables. You should also get at least nine hours of sleep every night to recharge enough energy for the next day. It's recommended you join a sports team to get more out of exercise and the fun of it all.

If you are skinny and want to gain muscle mass should you run and lift weights or just lift weights?
In order to gain muscle mass, you should do more weight lifting and less cardio. However, don't give up cardio altogether. Instead, cut your treadmill (or whatever) time down to 10 - 15 minutes, and do it prior to lifting. This way, your heart gets its workout. You could also get some whey protein and take it twice a day. I used it and was very happy with the results.
Good luck and work hard!
Do deadlifts, your forearms will get very big and massive from getting a great gripping strength! Also keep your arms( triceps and biceps) bigger unless your goin for a popeye look
If you are lifting weights while you are on the scale you are bound to weigh more. However, if you find that after you have been lifting weights you weigh more this could be due to the fact that muscle weighs more than fat.
There seems to be some conflicting thoughts on this, but what I have taken from it is the following:
You need something before hand - maybe a 60/40 combination of protein/carbs (very little fat). Afterwards is of course essential to getting some protein in the anabolic window, and this would be a good time for the protein shake. Add a few carbs with that and you'll be fine.
anaerobic exercise is an exercise whereby an an individual is active in the absence of oxygen.
