Weightlifting

Any time a person starts to lift they should wait until they have passed up their puberty years because heavy strains on the body before your done growing could cause a stunt in your growth but if your not worried about that with proper weight lifting gear and lifting tackicts there is really no age to begin whenever you feel comfortable with it.

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.

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.

no. eating right after a workout isn't a good idea since that's wen your body feels the need for food and energy more than usual-and a fruit shake has tons of sugar in it which isn't a good idea after a work out!

It is not recommend for a 12-year-olds to perform weightlifting, because it will not increase/enlarge their muscle. It MAY gain some strength, but not very significant. He/she should wait until he/she becomes 16. ..... It is all depends on that 12-year-old's strength and mostly on willpower. That child should start at 1 lbs and then progress 2, 3, 4 to 5 lbs or more.

Yes, red meat is packed with protein, which is responsible for muscle repair and growth.

Plus, while this fact may be often overlooked by novice lifters, red meat's saturated fats help produce testosterone, your body's main muscle building hormone.

These terms are used in weight lifting.

They are different techniques of lifting the weights.

Ronnie Coleman has now retired as the greatest bodybuilder ever. He was in his best all-time condition for the 2003 Mr. Olympia. His video "The Cost of Redemption" shows him doing barbell bench presses for multiple reps with a workout weight of 495 lbs. Therefore, he was very strong. Remember that the purpose of bodybuilding is not to lift as much weight as possible. Instead, the purpose of bodybuilding is to create the best physique possible, and resistance training is a means to that end. Typically, according to his book HARDCORE, Ronnie worked his chest twice a week using three sets of four different exercises. Only one of those eight exercises was barbell bench press, which means that he did them only once a week. Furthermore, he would typically do about 15 reps for each set. That is very different from the training of a power lifter who is training purely for strength. The goal for a power lifter is to lift as much weight as possible for just 1 rep. Had Ronnie chosen to train that way, he undoubtedly could have had a very heavy single bench press. However, training for power lifting is a foolish way to train for a competitive bodybuilder. It is unnecessarily dangerous and, in terms of muscular hypertrophy, much less beneficial. So, whatever his personal best bench press is, that heavy single surely would have been much higher if he had trained specifically to increase it. In fact, he didn't train that way, and there's no way to know what would have happened if he had.

Lifting weights above your head will not affect your height.

However it is not recommended that prepubescent or adolescent men/women do strength training. Building strong upper body muscles such as deltoids pecs trapezius biceps and triceps without building the proper muscles to support them can stunt spinal development, thus keeping you from being as tall as you could be.

Note: If you lift weights over your head and happen to drop one, the knot on the top of your head would indeed make you taller.

I think I'm pretty average, however at 40 my bench pressing days were pretty much over. I was stupidly following what a couple of other guys were doing and caused considerable damage to my shoulders. we were lifting VERY heavy and maxing the bench twice a week. I was rapidly moving up for six months after starting by benching my body weight, soon I was at 315lbs. I acheived my top press at 405 when I was about maybe 35-37 yrs old. shortly after that I was experiencing pain in both shoulders severe enough to stop lifting all upper body. I'm currently only benching a little over my body weight (262) up to 285. take it slow, if your younger then 23, take it real slow wait until you reach your 'mature strength' which is after 23 in most guys. a blown out pect will cause you alot of pain, surgery, and at least a year of rehab.

If this twelve year old is on steriods, maybe. I wish I could bench that much and I'm 15!

Buddy i am 12 will be 13 in 5 months i bench 175 i am 5,3 135 lbs my dad is a body builder we bench all this time.

your body makes more muscle tissues, which makes you "Ripped" Where ever your working towards. When you start to feel a pain, it's because your body releases lactic acid when your not getting enough oxygen into your body when your working out. When this occurs, you should take a break and do some breathing exercises.

The answer to this riddle is "breath." While breath is indeed light and intangible, even the strongest person can only hold their breath for a limited time, typically not exceeding a minute or so without discomfort or the need to exhale. This clever play on words highlights the contrast between physical strength and the natural limits of the human body.

friction can affect ice skating when you are doing a drag you will slow down because of friction. also if you have blunt blades or if you use the wrong part of the blade when doing spirals you will slow down alot quicker than if you use the right part.

There is really no such thing as an "average". Some guys have more muscle mass than others, allowing for more weight to be moved. Some guys spend hours in the gym each week to build their capacity. Most muscle mass and strength is achieved from late teens through late twenties. As your age increases, your capacity to build and tone muscle decreases. Regardless of size or strength, genetics is the primary key to what you can achieve. Proper diet and natural supplements can help but short of illegal steroids, your genetics are going to determine how large and strong you can get.

None, the best way for you to gain muscle would be very few reps of an extreme amount of weight, never do more than 10 at a time, of course you can always take Anabolic Steroids, but these can have a harmful affect on your control of your anger, as you might get random outburst of rage, plus testicular shrinkage, meaning you lose the "One Muscle That Counts", I would recommend either going to your doctor and getting a good plan together with them or do muscle training once per muscle group, and few reps with heavy weights once a day, and twice a day do Cardio work-outs such as running, swimming, climbing, ect. (Now the Cardio is just for a healthier body, it doesn't give you a huge amount of muscle but is equally important.

In pro wrestling, natural athleticism is a must. Coordination is also a big one. Most importantly, you need to be able to think clearly during a major adrenaline rush, while being slammed, suplexed and pounded on, so that you remember where you are and the story you're trying to tell. Also, patience. Nobody gets good overnight. Most guys on TV took five years or more to even get noticed in the business.

If you attend a good wrestling school, all of the things listed above will be developed. I've found that there's no real way to tell if someone is good or not until they go to a wrestling school and try it.

The 2 best chest exercises in my most humble opinion are the bench press and weighted dips. These are compound exercises. As for isolation exercises, one may also want to try doing flyes with dumbbells and a pec deck machine.

The bench press, which is one of the Big Five Barbell lifts has variations such as the incline and decline bench press which hit the chest muscles at different angles.

ok i would say about 320lbs... knowing that you can lift twice as much as you weigh speaks volumes for how physically strong you are... unless your a teen i would say around 205 give or take...
