Is it best to take a day to rest after weight lifting?
Yes, you should know that. People needs a rest after a heavy work out. If you don't do that so, you'll have fatigue and you'll be stressed out. Aside from rest, you need to eat foods that are good for you, like, low calorie but high protein foods. Then drink fruit juices and have a healthy life style.

You must first gauge your current fitness levels and abilities before engaging in weight training, because it will minimize the risk of overtraining and possibly injury, as well as help prevent using too light of a weight that renders your efforts ineffective. Proper weight training always begins with knowing where you are and where you want to be.

push ups is also weight lifting..your bodyweight lifting...so when you are doing push ups(with bodyweight or with more weight) then it is not longer called a rest day...push ups is an excellent excercise similar to bench press and you can add them on your actual chest routine and not do it when you rest to recover...
if you try to find something to do on your rest days do cardio or core excercises(planks and so)....
What supplement is good for after workout?
Whey protein, and Prime, actually, take prime 6 times a day, until you run out, and i garentee you will be sastified with your strength gains and muscle gains, i was repping 115, for 5x5, my max was 145. 3 weeks later im repping 135 5x5 and i maxed 170 the other day.

Even after running how do you make your calves smaller and not so bulky?
When exercising go for the marathon approach. Do light but looooooong exercises.
dont push it but go for a long time. if you do calf lifts do lots of reps with no weight
if you do that ^^^^ your calves will be muscular, but kind of long and lean not real big
Running is the best thing to make your calves BIGGER. Participate in a sport that has less impact on the legs but gives a total body workout. Running will only make your calves more bulky, but if you have to continue to do that, stretch your calves alot to enlongate the muscles.
weird but okay? since your looking forward to seeing your calves smaller, you should do it the sexy way hahahah which means more reps and less work. kind of like body builders do it. to be more cut, they do more reps and less weights, to be buff they have less reps but a lot more weights. So the best thing to do is, do your miles jogging! if youre on a treadmill, go on it for an hour or as much as you want, but JOG. !

Is it good to use supplements during gym?
Weight lifting supplements can be broken down into three basic categories: general health supplements, strength/muscle recovery supplements and pre-workout supplements. While you don't need to take weight lifting supplements to see progress, the right ones can definitely help.
Most people, non-lifters and lifters alike should take general health supplements to ensure optimal functioning of normal body processes. Those who are just beginning to lift need not worry about taking anything else (except maybe whey protein) until they have already learned how to make significant progress using a proper routine, correct weight training exercise technique, and most importantly a sound diet plan & sufficient sleep/recovery. Only then, should new lifters experiment with strength/muscle supplements and pre-workout supplements.
Below is a breakdown of the three basic categories of weight lifting supplements:
1. General Health Supplements:
- Fish Oils. Fish oil has a gamut of benefits, from improved skin, nails and hair to better energy to a healthy heart & cardiovascular system. However, those who don't eat a diet with frequent fatty fish intake are most likely failing to get a proper dosage of these omega-3 fatty acids; specifically EPA and DHA.
- Multi-Vitamins. Multi-vitamins are like an "insurance plan" for your diet. They contain the essential vitamins and minerals that your body requires, so that if you don't get enough of these micro-nutrients in from foods in your daily diet. However, it's important not to rely on taking a vitamin in lieu of nutrient-rich foods (i.e. fruits and veggies).
- Vitamin D. Vitamin D deficiency is increasingly being realized by health authorities as a potential epidemic. This vitamin is essential for everything from bone density to sex drive to protection against heart disease, stroke and other diseases. It may also have the benefit of enhanced strength performance during intense exercise. It's estimated that you may need upwards of 2000-3000 MCG/day from a supplement if you're not getting a significant amount of sun per day as well as some from your diet.
2. Strength/Muscle Recovery Supplements:
- Creatine Monohydrate. This is the most proven of all strength/performance supplements in existence; it has a ton of research backing it as a supplement that is proven to increase your ATP (i.e. energy); thereby allowing you to become stronger (and by extension, more muscular) by enhancing your performance during short bursts of energy (e.g. weight lifting). For example, if you could normally squat 225x6, creatine supplementation could enable you to squat, say, 225x8-9.
- Whey Protein. Note that whey isn't some magical type of protein. But it is relatively inexpensive and it makes consuming your daily protein requirements (~1g/lb bodyweight per day) a lot more practical. It's most common to take whey protein with carbohydrates after a weight training session in order to stop catabolism (i.e. breakdown of muscle) and to initiate an anabolic response (i.e. muscle building/repairing).
- Carbohydrate Supplements (e.g. Dextrose or Waxymaize). These are typically used for pre or post workout shakes, although you could use carbohydrate-rich food instead. However, I'm a fan of dextrose because it's very cheap and convenient for making a shake. Waxymaize is more expensive, but still a decent powder carbohydrate product.
3. Pre-Workout Supplements:
- Caffeine (caffeine tabs or coffee). Caffeine, in moderate amounts is actually good for you. And of course, everyone knows the enhanced effects it has on the body; and so, taking it pre-workout will give you a more focused and intense workout session. Also, caffeine has been proven to delay muscular fatigue during intense weight training; meaning that you can pump out a couple more reps than you usually could during a set. It also enables you to lose fat more efficiently by increasing fat mobilization and oxidation (burning).
- Beta-Alanine. The performance benefits of this pre-workout supplement ingredient are questionable. However, it does cause a certain physical response/feeling, which may be described as increased energy or the desire to workout. I'd definitely invest in caffeine before buying this supplement ingredient.
- Commercial Pre-Workout Products. Jack3d, Superpump 250, N.O. Xplode, etc. - You can get these if you want to pay extra for what is basically a mix of caffeine, beta-alanine, B-vitamins, some trivial ingredients, and some fancy packaging... In other words, these products certainly do give you energy, but in some peoples' opinions, they are overpriced. Only you [and your wallet] can decide if this is a smart fiscal purchase or not.
Before starting a new dietary/supplementation regiment, it is wise to consult with your physician or medical adviser.
Does creatine make you build muscle fast?
Creatine actually causes your muscle cells to absorb more water which makes them look bigger which gives us an illusion of extra size and mass. Effectively speaking, once you cut down on your creatine intake, the muscles would start releasing the excess water and you may end up feeling your muscles shrink in size. But, one good thing about creatine is that, it helps you gain that extra strength needed to do heavy workouts. Though it only packs water into our muscles, a properly administered dosage/cycle of creatine can help you in gaining weight and strength.
Which sports require muscular strength?
For some sports, you train all your muscles, such as wrestling. People work out using every muscle they can, but when you actually compete, the sport that makes you use most of your muscles is swimming.
Gymnastics also needs you to use lots of your muscles along with acro, tumbling and rhythmic gymnastics. Also swimming but that's already been mentioned.

What component of physical fitness is being measured when you do 50 M sprint?
Your cardio-respiratory component of physical fitness is measured when you do 50 meters sprint.
What is resistance in weight training terms?
It's hard to explain, so I'll put it this way.
Assuming you know what a Bench Press is, when you push up there is positive resistance. Say the bar ways 45 lbs and you have 55 lbs of weight plates then there is 100 lbs of positive resistance. When you let the bar down after you have pushed it up there is 100 lbs of negative resistance, because it is coming towards you, you are not working to push it up but rather to take it down.
