Is it essential to eat after a workout?

How can you get 12 pack abs?

You can get them by doing sit ups and crunches. But that is not enough to get a six pack. You have to also run and have a good diet. I say this because everyone has a six pack but it is covered by a layer of fat. So to obtain them you must burn the fat off the stomach and you will not be able to see them unless you have a 10% body fat or less. But not to low because anything below 5or 6 is unhealthy.l

Definitely... I started doing sit-ups when I was 6 or 7 (started lifting weights at 11).. I had a six-pack in fifth or (more defined abs) sixth grade, and I'm currently forming an 8 pack. According to doctors, I have roughly 6-7% body fat. My diet is OK, I eat a lot of healthy foods, but I lift 6 days a week and workout all 7.

What bones are used in weightlifting?

Bench press exercises employ bones in the hand, wrist, forearm, arm, shoulder, back, and chest. The elbow and shoulder joints are used as well. Some sources may note the scapulathoracic joint's use as well, but this is not a true anatomic joint by definition.

Is there such thing as a 2 pack abs?

No, max you can have is 8 pack . They exists although it is misleading. Everybody has the same muscles, but genetics, diet and daily activities give each of a unique build as the muscle grow and tone differently on each of us. Everyone have 8 pack, but not everybody can achieve them. And there is no such thing as 10 pack, 12 pack etc. Anatomicly we don't have that. So that is just stupid to say someone has 10 pack or more. 8 pack is final. :)

How do you get strong without weights?

It is possible to improve your strength without weight training, but it is not possible to do it without resistance training. For example, by pressing hard against various objects (including yourself as in Charles Atlas's "dynamic tension" old course), you can improve your strength. The best way to do it, however, is by progressively lifting heavier and heavier weights.

What are good measurements for a 5' 1 woman?

Men: 62.2 - 66.7kgs

women: 58.9 - 63.5kgs

however if your bodyfat is less than 10% then you can weigh a bit mroe

Actually, the normal, fit women should have a body fat % that is from 21-24%. Any lower than 14% is basically dead. Below that, the body starts using the fat from organs. Men should have 14-17, if they are a normal fit person. They can be in the 6-13% category if they are athletes.

Ideal measurements are kind of silly: women have all sorts of shapes, and you should really just worry about what looks best on you. The "ideal" is reported to be something around 36"- 26"- 36. But I don't think it matters. :3

What does slim fast do?

Well, if your follow the exact instructions on the product and stick to an additional diet, you might get slim fast.

The problem is, once you are finished with a cure, or you stop taking slim fast, you get fat fast again. It is called "the yo-yo- effect" and it will happen with every cure, exercise or diet that makes you slim in a fast way.

The best way is the cheapest way, and trust me- my father had many successes with this as a medical dietitian.

Eat healthy: 200 grams (7oz) of fruit and 200 grams of vegetables (not heavily cooked) a day, some Brazil nuts every day and a balanced breakfast, lunch and dinner, vary from day to day, don't eat the same every day but try to eat at the same time every day.

Avoid late night snacks, too much candy, pie, chips, fastfood restaurants, sodas, beer, sweet or fat food like pudding desserts.

Use palmsugar, a glass of fresh milk, and a glass of red wine a day, fresh fish, bake in coconut-oil, use real butter instead of margerine (no matter what they tell you). Stay away from almost every product that tells you it makes you slim but instead use fresh products. And sugar is your worst enemy- the fats in sugar that is, you can hardly get rid of them. So start looking at foodlabels, to much sugar? take something else!

Exercise: Walking is better than running, physical work is better than fitness. Many people that want to lose weight start exercising heavily like bodybuilding or running. The result is that the fat turns into muscles and muscles are even bigger and weight more than fat. For losing weight, normal but much movement is the best: take a long walk every day, or bike 5/10 miles everyday.

It is important to put your goal of losing weight not for next month. Take the time and you will stay slim (if you not immediately run off to get a hamburger once you're slim). Slim fast always means fat fast afterwards.

What is the best workout routine for a 20-year-old male?

Please do not significantly change your exercise habits without the prior blessing of your physician. Assuming that you are in normally good health, you should do both cardio and strength training.

With respect to cardio, get at least 30 minutes six times weekly. For example, go for a 2-mile walk in just under 30 minutes each day before your first meal. With respect to strength training, do a whole body workout twice weekly (in the afternoon if you walk in the morning). Concentrate on the basic exercises, namely, squats, deadlifts, presses, rows, dips, and chins. It would be a good idea also to do ten minutes of stretching after each strength training session.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of weight training?

The pros are longer life, increase strength, increased stamina.

The cons are mostly economical (need to buy more food, need somewhere or something to lift) or timely. Other cons are stretch marks, excess skin oils producing rashes and pimples, bad odor.

Does lifting weight slows down your running speed?

Well i think it does affect because you have to carry more weight

NO! It affects your endurance . I have a friend who is overweight. And I also have a friend that is the most athletic person who I've ever seen. So the weights are about 170lbs. and 97-99lbs. The first friend has never played a sport in her life, and the other plays soccer, softball, and swim team. There is this City Cup game we do every year to raise money for people in need. One of the races is the 15 meter dash. My friend who is over weight competed for fun. And she beat every single slim, fit, healthy, athletic girl who competed by about 4 whole seconds. When my friend and I have ran together, she takes off and gets about a half a mile ahead of me, but she doesn't have endurance. She is a faster runner, but she doesn't have the cardiovascular endurance to stay running that fast, that long. I soon catch up to her. She has to stop and rest. After that, she can take off again, but can't do it for very long. So really your weight doesn't effect your speed, it effects how long you can go running.

Whoever wrote this has no idea what they are talking about. Endurance is all about how you train. Your speed is probably a little bit slower when you are heavier though.

Should 16 year olds lift weights?

I wouldn't say they should, but they can. Anyone who wants to lead a healthy life, can start working out right from the age of around 15 yrs.

i dont think that age matters im 13 about 190 and can bench my weight i think it all depends on weather or not your ready physicaly. I`m also thirteen and can bench 100kg. I`m about 75kg, not fat.

How many reps should you do when weight lifting?

This depends entirely on your own capabilities. A short answer is that you should complete as many as you can with perfect form. When you break form (either due to lifting to heavy of a weight, or doing more reps than necessary) stop working the muscle as effectively and you increase your risk of injury.

What is the best workout to gain muscle mass?

The best way to gain muscle mass & size is to train heavy and train for fewer no. of days in the week.

The below workout would have to completed in one day. You must repeat the cycle every Monday - Wednesday - Friday. The remaining 4 days would be rest days. Each exercise would consist of 4 sets. The first will be with 10 repetitions to sufficiently warm up the muscle. The next 3 sets would 8, 6, 6 with progressively heavier weights. Lifting heavy and in proper form is extremely important if you want to build mass. Do not cheat or compromise on the form or the weight. If you are going to lift comfortable weights and do the below workout, you will probably gain one or two pounds in 6 months. The heavier/harder you workout, more would be the gain.

# Flat Bench Press - 4 * 10, 8, 6, 6 (Chest)

# Military Press or Shoulder Press - 4 * 10, 8, 6, 6 (Shoulders)

# T Bar Row or Low Cable row - 4 * 10, 8, 6, 6 (Lats) # Squats - 4 * 10, 8, 6, 6 # Leg Press - 4 * 10, 8, 6, 6 # French press or Close grip bench press - 4 * 10, 8, 6, 6 (Triceps) # Barbell curls - 4 * 10, 8, 6, 6 (Biceps)

# Hammer Curls - 4 * 10, 8, 6, 6 (Bicep Brachialli)

# Wrist Curls - 4 * 10, 8, 6, 6 (Forearms) # Crunches or Hanging leg raises - 4 * 25 The above workout would take around 1 hour to complete if done without too much rest. If you feel, this workout is too much to do in one day, split it up as two parts. Chest, shoulders, lats and abs in the morning and legs and arms in the evening. Remember to wrap up everything in one day.

Give the body the next day to recuperate. Don't even go in the direction of the gym. Repeat the cycle on Wednesday.

Note: Eating properly is extremely important during such mass gain cycles. Eat at least 1 gram of protein per kg of body weight if you want to see your muscles grow in size.

What types of lifts are there in weight lifting?

There are basically two types. It depends upon whether weightlifting is considered as an end in itself or as a means to another end. 'Bodybuilders' use weightlifting as a means to another end. Their goal is to attain the most magnificent physique possible. They use weightlifting only as a means to that end. Bodybuilders, then, are not focused on how much weight they can lift for a single repetition. A bodybuilding contest is not an athletic competition; it is an aesthetic one. By way of contrast, some lifters simply want to lift as much weight as possible. Their goal is to lift as much weight as possible in a single repetition. They are usually called 'weightlifters.' Like boxers, in a competition they are divided up by weight class. The winner is the strongest participant in a weight class. There are two kinds of weightlifters. (1) The goal of power lifters is to have as high a total as possible in three lifts, namely, squat, deadlift, and bench press. A total is just the sum of a lifter's best single squat, best single deadlift, and best single bench press. (Power lifting competitions are almost never televised.) (2) The goal of Olympic lifters is to have the best single snatch and clean-and-jerk. (If you've ever watched a competition from the Olympics, you've seen Olympic lifters.)
