Can you loose the weight after you gain muscles?

It is absolutely essential that excess weight be lost before muscle-building begins. Otherwise, your muscle will not truly be muscle. It will only be fat that has taken on a muscular appearance. Once you discontinue the program (for instance, at an older age) instead of retaining the muscle structure, it breaks down back to a fatty state.

This is essentially flab - muscle that has returned to a fatty state. When you have lost the excess weight, then develop true muscle. True muscle, unlike fat, does not give out after a few months of discontinuing a building program.

What foods should you eat if you want to develop your muscles?

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

What vitamin builds muscle?

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.

What are the best weight training exercises to lose weight?

  • Weight training exercises alone aren't particularly effective for weight loss. For weight loss you want to burn more calories, and to burn calories you want get your heart rate up and to keep it up, and the longer the better. Weight training rarely achieves that. Cardio/aerobic exercises will do a better job at this. Besides, while muscle is better than flab, muscle is still weight, and weight training will put more muscle on you. If you insist on weight training you should focus on low weights and endless repetitions.
  • Cardio is important for weight loss. To achieve best results you should do your cardio in the morning.
  • The very best exercise combination for weight loss is cardio exercise and weight training. Proper weight training will build muscle, which is your metabolic furnace that will burn additional calories 24 hours a day. Cardio exercise, when done properly, it is very effective for fat loss. Cardio will increase the amount of calories your body uses during and immediately after exercise. For more information about how to combine cardio and weight training for weight loss, see the page link, further down this page, listed under Related Questions.

Do you gain weight when you lift weight?

If you use strength exercise to increase your muscle tissue, you will be heavier (all things being equal) because a given volume of muscle is heavier than that same volume of fat.

However, if you are using strength exercise correctly and eating correctly (healthy foods) as you train, you will simultaneously lose body fat. In other words, your body composition will significantly improve. By that, if you were to lose 10 or 20 pounds of fat while gaining 10 or 20 pounds of muscle, you would look far better, feel better, and be healthier even though your weight did not change

You will not gain more weight fat out weight muscle and muscle does not weight as much so keep strength exercise going.

What are good track and field weight workouts?

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.

Should you eat before or after workout?

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

Can a elderly person do weight lifting at the age of 50?

Yes.

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

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.

Do genetics affect six packs?

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.

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.

Does the Charles Atlas program work?

It all depends on the level of integration you present with the factors of the "system". You see, the ancient Greeks believed there were demi gods that could boost immunity through injections of olive oil. These tactics were quite subversive in their onset, causing much rioting amongst the working class proletariat. In the truest sense of one's self, i would adhere to the Brian Newberry Group's "Tough Guys in Trouble" method of self enhancement. Building your "body" is not the answer here. It is about building your skills in Patrick Fury like fashion. Taking ownership of your body with the things that mean so much to your family. Do you understand what i am telling you?
