Weight Training and Strength Training

No. Lifting every day can damage the muscles and stunt a 12 year old's growth. You should try every other day or 3 times a week. Or do different upper-body excersisess.

Contrary to popular belief, lifting weights while you are still growing does not stunt growth. It was believed that breaking a bone could damage the ends of the bones that are still growing, but this is not the case. Strength training has only benefits, if done correctly, whether you are young or old.

Weightlifting, or olympic weightlifting is a sport consisting of two disciplines, the snatch (contested first) and the clean & jerk (contested second).

Powerlifting is a sport consisting of three movements, the squat, the bench press and finally the deadlift.

Both sports utilize a barbell and competitors are scored based on the highest amount of weight lifted succesfully.

after is more important then before but you can do both. you want about 1.5 grams of proten per pound of muscle. diff people say diff things about that ratio but that's a good one. you rbody can only absorb so much proten at a time though so spread it out every three hours try to eat somthing.

proten befor bed is equally important as after workout as your muscles heal the most as you sleep.

firms muscles to prevent getting fat As long as you are doing some sort of aerobic excercise (any excercise where you can actually breathe, NOT running), it will continue to burn calories which will in turn burn up your fat stores. You just need to make sure you are doing aerobic excercises at least three times a week for a half hour or more. As humans, we need to burn up any excess energy from our food intake, or it will build up as fat. That can reduce your weight (by using your fat), however, weight is not a way of measuring your healthiness, as muscles weights more than fat.

Therefor you can be quite heavy, and still be in perfect condition

If you are looking for strength 3 sets of 6 -8 reps, for a toner look go for 10 -12 BUT with lighter weights. do 3 days a week.

There are many different places you can buy cardio equiptment. You can get it from Dicks Sporting Goods, Wal-Mart or even order off the TV from QVC or HSN. It depends on if you want to go get it or have it delivered and at what price range you are searching for.

It will make your muscles bigger which will seem to make your parts bigger, but it doesn't make your arms or legs or anything else grow. Your parts will probably become bigger around if measured, but that's muscle growth. it can make muscles larger and bones stronger. If you are worried about looking fatter don't. If you want larger breasts wont work.

Weight training alone does not make your body parts bigger. To get bigger, you must eat above your maintenance calories. Muscles do not grow out of thin air. You must feed the body what it needs to support your weight training. If you don't feed it enough calories, then you will never grow.

You need to do a variety of exercises like the

Front raise for the front deltoids

Side raises for the middle deltoids

Bent over laterals for the rear deltoids

the over head press is a good exercise to build deltoids.

There is a big debate about whether to use free weights or machines. In short, free weights involve more motor unit involvement. Motor units are are combination of nerves, muscle fibers and soft tissue that are connected physically to and activated electrically to the spine.

Machines don't usually require any balancing such as when doing a free weight bench press.

Machines tend to be safer because if you let go, there is probably nothing that will drop on you and injury you like a barbell will (if, for instance, a barbell slips when doing a bench press).

good luck to you in whatever you choose, one or the other or both.

I am going to say something that most of you probably heard already and that is exercise now to get abs first you have to know your size and weight and how much effort are you willing to invest in order to get abs. well my advise is and it might sound weird to some but to go to gymnastics its the best way to get abs and muscles quickly but again it demands a lot of effort and energy which most don't have but every good thing demands that you have to put a lot of time in that and their is no shortcuts. now i have been to gymnastics for 5 years i started when i was 9 and i am seriously saying that i have a six pack showing abs and that people look and envy so to get again you have to put a lot of effort in to it and not to quit when things gets rough or hard and last you don't have to go to gymnastics i am just saying that i think is the fastest way but you can go to the gym and work out and may be you will it so the options are open for what you would like to do but just last piece of advise if you do choose to go to the gym and lift lets say 50 kilograms Worth of weight most people are not aware but it can majorly stop you growth you may be get ripped but you will be short as hell i am saying that because i used to do that and a doctor told me anyway but still it every ones choice what they want to do so i hope you will get what you want quick.

Experts disagree. By 16 the ends of your bones should be sufficiently formed. Then, lifting weights, when using correct form, should be beneficial. It is risky to do it any earlier unless one has expert coaching and supervision.

Bench Press: Pectorals

Flyes: Pectorals

Bicep Curls(Barbell): Biceps, Forearms

Tricep Extension : Triceps

Weighted Arms: Shoulders

Upright Row: Back, Shoulders, Chest, Arms

Research the proper procedures for these exercises. They are pretty basic, and can be done with a barbell, corresponding weights, a bench, and some dumbbells Putting on muscle may be easier or harder depending on your body type, so modify exercises accordingly. Note: If you can do more than 8-12 reps of any of these exercises other than weighted arms, you need to increase the poundage.

The best time is in the afternoon or evening for me. My muscles are tight from not being used when sleeping so it takes longer to warm them up. I lift right after work just for fun. I'm 34 yrs. old and bench 335 good form, Squat 450 without wraps, and deadlift 475 and all with good form. Everyone is different though.

Its important because warming up w/ stretches gets your muscles stretched out & gets you ready for doing any exercise activity. Also it can prevent you from hurting yourself by over straining your muscles w/out preparing.

do muscle building excercises and ad alot more calories to your diet along with protien and a vitamin called L-lysine to your diet. lysine helps your body assimilate protiens so its great for building your glutes and since muscl is made of protien you'll need that to. in japan sumo wrestlers gain massive amounts of weight but are very strong because they gian the weight subcutaeniously which means under the skin not in the muscle . thats what give booties that shake everyone likes. start with the excersises first then add alot of calories. then work your butt real hard for like 12 weeks you should see a difference. if it works go 4-6 weeks off without the squats but continue the calories the new booty wil stay if you reduce your caloreis and your work out.

i suggest going to gnc and buying weight gain shakes and then eating like normal this will allow precise control of your weight gain once your satified do toning excersises only. after this program consider havin fat from your tummy injected in to your butt . e-mail me if you have any more questions

Sauna Belts are one of the most advertised products on the Shopping Network in India today but Investigation by the United Kingdom's Advertising Standards Authority determined that the claims of the sauna belt to be able to promote weight loss were false. Sauna belts cause sweating profusely in the particular area and Dehydration. You again need to replenish the lost water and the 'weight loss' ends up being temporary.

No, it does not stunt growth. The ends of the bone are still growing when young, and some people thought that if the bone was broken your growth would be stunted, but this is undocumented. Lifting is very beneficial at all ages.

Although (like calf muscles) your forearms recover quickly, just work them as often as you do other muscle groups. If you do strength training twice weekly, then train them twice weekly. If you do other exercises such as deadlifts without straps or hooks, you will work the forearm flexors anyway. Save your forearm work until the end of your training session.

no it does not, unless you happen to injure yourself in a way that it affects a growth plate

Protein is consider the top supplement and the most important for muscle building. But if you're going to take protein, don't forget to eat well and don't think of protein as a "meal" but as a dessert.

A dumbbell will generally require more strength than a barbell. Once you push up a barbell it balances out but with a dumbbell you have to keep it balanced the whole time which requires more strength. One is not "better" than another, just different. Do both if you can.
