Weight Training and Strength Training

Chin ups work biceps and back; a simple alternative would be a bicep curl for bicep and a deadlift for back strength.

It depends on how large the egg is... One centimeter has 60 proteins, which makes 2 centimeters have 120 proteins in it.. It is all logical, you should continue adding 60 proteins to each centimeter. ( Im a scientist so i know everything about this)...

Lifting weights requires a large range of motion for some exercises. This forces trainees to become more flexible in many ways. It also requires staying warm and loose when training, which tends to promote flexibility.

* The best post work out meal (as of now) studies show is 20-40g of protein and 40-100g of carbohydrates. === === * From what I've learned, and from what I've experienced the best protein source would be a fast digesting source such as a whey protein supplement, and the carbohydrates should be high glycemic complex carbs such as rice cakes or a rice based cereal, bagels, white rice, etc. The purpose of the protein consumption post workout is to get amino acids to the muscles as fast as possible for repair and hopefully growth. The absolute fastest way to do this is to supplement with Branch Chain Amino Acids immediately after you workout along with glutamine. These will be absorbed very quickly, after a half hour then go ahead and hae your protein and carb meal. == == == == * I'm not sure where I just recently read about recent new studies on this issue: I think it was a Netscape link to a men's health article. The article mentioned that for years, the prevailing opinion was proteins. But recent studies revealed that the best meal post weight training session was heavy on complex carbohydrates. === === === === * Protein is still needed as it provides the base building blocks for muscle growth, the exact ratio of protein to carbs is debateable, depending on who you ask. ---- For more information, see the page links, further down this page, listed under "Related Questions."

That depends- if you are eating protein and keeping healthy then your muscles will grow. But muscles being heavier than fat, its actually possible for an overweight person to get smaller yet gain weight. Of course it all depends on how much you work out too. And if a child gets too much exercise or does too much weight-bearing, it can actually stunt growth - growth plates in the bones are not made for constant heavy exertion and will be damaged, causing pain and also taking some amount off the height the child would have been as an adult. But in an average situation with a healthy adult who is trying to get muscular instead of lose weight, weight lifting will add bulk to your body's frame.

As in trigger a growing phase? No it will not. It will however improve posture since the extra baggage isn't weighing down on the spine. Also keep in mind that the smaller you are horizontally, the bigger you look vertically; so if you shed some lbs, it will create the illusion of being slim and tall.

Tips:

1. Do not slouch while standing and sitting; frequent compression on the spine will gradually shape your spinal column in such a way that it may result in height LOSS.

2. For those who are still growing, sleep with thin or no pillows; the flatter you are, the easier it is for the spine to extend. Try your best to stay on your back (wearing ankle weights helps prevent tossing and turning). Sleeping on your side creates pressure that compresses the spine and you may end up slightly leaning for a portion of the day.

3. Swimming, yoga and palates emphasizes extension of the spine. Combine this with a good diet and you should gain a noticeable amount of height.

The top 10 foods that can help you increase your muscle mass is: 1. Fortified Eggs 2. Legumes 3. Allium Vegetables 4. Mollusks 5. Nuts 6. Whole Grains 7. Salmon 8. Tomato Products 9. Flaxseeds 10. Cruciferous Vegetables

You pretty much need all of them, however if you are strapped for cash, the two best ones are vitamins C and D. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxydant, not to mention an imune booster, while vitamin D, helps with metabolic function. If you are a black person, or an individual with dark skin living in the northern hemisphere, highly likely you suffer from vitamin D deficiency, which can make it harder to burn blubber. The darker the skin, and the less the sunlight, the less vitamin D your body makes, and the less it makes, the more impaired the metabolic function becomes. That is why therefore the two best ones are C and D. However if you do have the cash, you need all of them, ultimately.

I agree that you really need all of them, so you may want to consider taking a multivitamin product instead of what will ultimately feel like a million separate ones. Suggestion: go to prosource.com and order a catalog of their products. There are decent descriptions of all the products they sell, including the multivitamins.

It is impossible for a child ages 12 or younger to have abs. Sometimes it may look like a child has abs but its really nothing. Only ages 13 or older can have real abs.

the best thing is just tell them enought of that junk food get involed in fitness like the wii fit in the usa you can buy it from wal mart or in the uk you can buy it from any game shop

A weight training program can affect males and females differently because their bodies are built differently. Typically, men are able to lift more weight, and their bodies are also built differently in their structure.

You can't turn fat into muscle. The only thing you can do is burn fat while gaining muscle. The best thing for this is to eat a high protein diet while watching your sugar and carb intake. also strength training and cardio vascular exercise is essential for this.

When your body adjusts to your current exercise program.

Do you not want to go to the gym because you don't want to workout? Or is it because you want to make gains without machines or weights? If it's the former, then get implants. If it's the latter, then go crazy with push-ups and isometrics.

I'm on a track team so... I suggest that when you have a track meet, stretch ALOT. Yes, running is always important, but you do want to stay as loose as possible. I run 4 miles every day. Though I'm not a long distance runner, it deffinately gets you ready for the big day. Do whatever is most comfortable and I'm sure that you'll do well.

depends eat carbs before a workout for fat, possibly some types of fats if you're an endurance athletes

eat protein after a workout for muscle repair so i would recommend the carbs before exercise if you're going to do cardio training, or protein after a workout if you're going to do resistance training

Yes.

The oldest lifters in the Masters Olympic weightlifting are 80 plus years.


Studies show that the elderly maintain their independence longer if they have sufficient leg strength to get out of a sofa chair.


This strength comes from training with weights, machines or resistance devices that are used specifically to target the lower body muscles, especially the quads and glutes.

Genetics play a role in every aspect of your body composition. In terms of how this affects whether or not you have six pack abs, it comes down to leanness more than anything. Some people are naturally very lean, often because of higher metabolisms. These people have little trouble achieving "washboard" abs with a little dedicated exercise of that muscle group. Others with naturally slower metabolisms will usually have a higher body fat percentage, covering up their abs no matter how developed they may be under that layer of fat. Still, genetics aren't everything. It just may mean that you have to work a little harder at it that someone else. Getting plenty of exercise and tweaking your diet can allow you to build muscle and increase your metabolism, which will naturally make you leaner.

Yoga is not considered weight-lifting because you are not actually using any part of your body to actually lift something of weight. Yoga is a free-body excercise/course in that it requires nothing but a mat and some time to relax..

if you do a lot of running and cardio work then you have a healthy heart leading to a healthy respiratory system. but if you lift weights and hold your breathe during your repetitions then it is bad for you because your heart keeps pumping but you don't breathe and you keep harmful toxins inside your body. Not a big deal but still something to think about. make sure you inhale and exhale when your lifting, whether it is heavy or light.
