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.

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.

Is protein a good drink after a workout?

How much can Ronnie Coleman curl?

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.

Does weight lifting affect height growth?

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.

How much should forty year old man bench press?

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.

What happened to muscles when you do weightlifting?

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.
