What the symptoms of weight training?
The only short-term response to proper weight training that you are likely to notice is DOMS (delayed onset muscular soreness), which you will probably experience a day or two after training. (To ensure systemic recovery, it is important to wait one or two days after all DOMS has disappeared before training again.)
Your skeletal muscles, bones, and connective tissues (ligaments and tendons) will all benefit from proper weight training. If you are also eating well and getting sufficient rest, you may actually be able to see changes in the mirror in a few months.

How can a 12 year old get big biceps and triceps without heavy weights?
Large biceps require both proper genetics as well as proper strength training. While any given individual may or may not have the genetic potential for large biceps, everyone has the genetic potential to get stronger biceps. Biceps are actually a relatively small muscle group. If you do a whole body routine or an upper-body routine, it's important not to overwork them--and overworking them is easy to do.
Ensure that you warm-up properly. Any exercise that pulls the forearm towards the upper arm will work the biceps. This includes all the variations of the curl such as standing dumbbell curl, standing barbell curl, dumbbell curl on incline, seated dumbbell curl, lying dumbbell curl and concentration curls. It also includes many exercises that work the upper back such as lat pulldowns.
Remember that, if you want to increase the size of your upper arms, it's more important to train your triceps than your biceps. The way it's usually thought of is that the triceps account for 2/3rds of the mass of the upper arm while the biceps account for only 1/3rd of its mass.

How often should you work your calves?
This all depends on whether the lifter is trying to build muscle size and strength or improve strength endurance (in essence, powerlifting vs. lifting for reps). If powerlifting, I tend to do 3 sets of 15 with heavy weight. When I lift for reps, I usually remove about 100 pounds (around 20-25% of your powerlifting weight) and lift for a timed minute as fast as I can for 3 sets. Also note that using freeweights for calf-raises is much more beneficial than using the nautilous. or leg press machine, as it requires balance and helps build stabilizer muscles that otherwise can't be worked. The best method for performing free-weight calf-raises is with the bar and weights across the shoulders as if you were going to squat, but just raise yourself on your toes keeping your legs straight and about shoulder-width apart.
Should you take protein before bed?
You should take your protein immediately after workout, preferably within 30 minutes of training for the protein drink to be most effective. This is not only a good time to absorb protein, but it is optimal for replenishing glycogen stores. The carbohydrate to protein ratio should be four to one ratio for endurance training, two to one ratio for strength training and one to one radio for those looking to lose fat. Since muscle does most of its repairing overnight, the next best time to have protein is before bedtime.
Is it ok to lift weights every day?
It is not bad, but not good either. If you lift weights everyday, you should only do that for up to an hour. Your body cannot physically maintain a high level of energy to lift weights for longer than that. If you are thinking long term (as in lifting weights for a year or many months) then you should take every other day off. If you are trying to lift weights for a shorter time (3 months or less) and you want to lift weights as often as you can, take at least one day a week off (a good choice is Sunday).
However, if you work out too many days in a row, your body may get very sore. It is very wise to take at least one day a week off, if not 2-3. If you get sore, take a few days off in a row. You could end up tearing a muscle, ligament, or tendon if you decide to go through the pain. The saying "no pain no gain" is very incorrect. If you are experiencing pain, stop immediately. It is okay to feel fatigued, but pain is not good.
You shouldn't lift weights every day, though. You should mix the routine up. For instance, lift weights one day and do a cardio activity the next. Cardio activities include running, biking, going on the elliptical machine, doing a "stair master," or any other motion related activity. This will not only give your body a break from weight lifting, but will also allow your body to burn off calories in a way where you will build muscle and lose body fat.
You also shouldn't do the same weight lifting activities 2 days in a row. For instance, if you bench press, do arm curls, lower back extensions, and pull-ups one day, don't do any of those the next day. You need to let those muscles rest. The next day you should focus on the muscles that you didn't work out, like leg extensions, upper back exercises, curl-ups (or any abdominal exercise like the bicycle exercise), arm extensions (works the triceps), and dips.
Doing the max of any exercise is not recommended, though. The obvious danger in doing that is that you could easily pull a muscle, injure yourself, and possibly be too sore to work out for a few days. On whatever setting you do any exercise, you should be able to do 10 of them. If you are going to bench 25 lbs, you should be able to do that 10 times. If you are going to do a shoulder press on 50 lbs, you should be able to do that 10 times. A good strategy is to do 10, take a 30 second break, do 10 again (same machine), take a 30 second break, and do 10 more (still same machine). That way you will be able to fully maximize the machine and what muscle you are working and not just giving a small amount of effort.
If you are new to weight-lifting, don't overdo it on the first day. The first few days is the time where you will most likely injure yourself. It's definitely not fun when you think you can do a certain amount and come home only to find out that you are really sore and won't be able to work out for the next week. Make sure you stretch before you start lifting weights, and only do what you know you can do.
The biggest thing to understand about weight-lifting, or exercising in general, is that your body adapts very well. If you do 10 reps on 40 lbs. for anything, your body will be a little fatigued the first day (if 40 lbs. is a lot- it depends on what is heavy for you) and you will burn a good amount of calories. However, if you are still doing that after a week, you will have developed what is called "muscle memory" where your body will burn as little calories and use as little energy as it can to lift that amount of weights for that period of time. That is why it is very good to vary your workouts often. A pattern is good if you continually increase the weight level or reps, but if you know that you aren't going to, swtich the routine up at least every week. Here is an example routine in which somebody may do for a week. Note: All activities include 3 sets of 10 reps with 30 second breaks in between unless cardio.
Monday: Chest workouts (dips, chest press, bench press), arm workouts (bicep curl, arm extension).
Tuesday: Cardio (elliptical, running). Wednesday:Break (light cardio to stay in shape.)
Thursday: Abs (curl-up, total abdominal, bicycle kick), back (upper back workout, lower back extension), hips (dead lift).
Friday: Cardio (stationary bike, the wave).
Saturday: Legs (leg extension, leg press, leg curl, squats), shoulder (shoulder press, military press, vertical traction).
Sunday: Break (light cardio to stay in shape).
As the "Your body adapts well" section describes above, your body, well, adapts well. Make sure to vary when you workout what muscle, and how you work them out. Thus, you confuse your body and your workouts become very well done. You will notice results in at least 4 weeks if you truly follow these tips. However, it also requires you to eat well (i.e. no junk food every day). Eat lots of grains, fruits, vegetables, and lean meat. Doing so will really help your body stay in shape and get fit.
Does lifting weights burn stomach fat as well?
if you are not interested in bodybuilding or strength training you can lift light weights in a fast pace for many sets and reps so you can do a form of cardio while muscle-toning which means you burn calories which means you burn fat and also stomach fat(but remember that stomach fat is the fat that will leave the hardest from your body)... i'd say you do cardio as well...

How do you work out your calf muscles?
The most direct way to exercise your calf muscles are to stand on your tippy-toes, going up and down slowly. You can do this exercise with your toes on the edge of a box or stair in order to get a better stretch. Many gyms also have machines specific to calf raise exercises, and those are designed to isolate your calves and avoid using other auxiliary muscles. The main benefit of a calf-raise machine is that weight can be added beyond your body weight, allowing for a harder workout. You can achieve this effect without a machine by wearing a weighted backpack.
To exercise your calf muscles without weight training, you can run. Focus on keeping your heels off the ground as you run, because your calves will be doing a lot of the work. You don't need to run fast for this, just keep moving and keep your heels off the ground.

How you gain 5 pounds in your waist?
You can gain muscle on your waist line by working your lower and and obliques. When most people work their abs they will do sit ups which work all Ab groups but it mainly targets your upper abs. To get the most out of your Ab workouts you should begin say Monday working your upper abs only. You can do crunches, use an Ab machine, or sit ups. Then on Tuesday work your obliques which are your abs on the side of your body. You can do sit ups while Turning to your side and you can get a bench press bar and sit the bar on your shoulders while sitting down and turning your upper body from side to side. An Ab coaster I feel is the best workout for your obliques. If you have access to one I would recommend to use it. Then on Wednesday you should work your lower abs. To do this you can do reverse crunches or raising your legs 6 inches off of the ground and holding the position. You can also do leg lifts while on a bench lowering your legs past the bottom of the bench. Those are just a few workouts to give you some ideas. You then repeat that process throughout the week taking off Sunday. You should do 3 sets of each exercise with 15 reps in each set. After you build your abs and have a solid muscle structure you should then begin to run a few days a week. You can start out running 2 days a week say Tuesday and Thursday. Then bump it up to 3 days a week changing it to say Monday, Wednesday and Friday from there you could bump it up to say Monday - Friday.
How often should you do your strength training program?

Well it depends of course on whether you are referring to natural bodybuilders or not. and of course height differences will create great variables.
The average, beginning bodybuilder of average height usually walks onstage in contest condition at between 140 and 170 lbs. More advanced natural bodybuilders with several good years under their belt can walk onstage at heavier weights, in the 175 to 195 lbs range. But the very best natural, average height bodybuilders can weigh over 200 lbs onstage, but this is very rare for any natural under 6 ft tall.
When you're talking about Non-tested bodybuilding events, then obviously there will be steroid users and the weights we speak of will be higher. Sometimes much higher.
220, 240 and even 260 lbs are all possible for an average height, steroid using bodybuilder. Jay Cutler, 2010 Mr. Olympia, who stands only 5ft 9in, weighed 268 lbs in contest condition....but there have been larger guys than even him. Markus Ruhl, Ronnie Coleman, Dennis Wolfe, Gunter Schleirkamp, Art Atwood, Greg Kovacs, and Lou Ferrigno have all weighed more at some point, anywhere from 270 to 320 lbs onstage!
