* You gain weight if you are trying to grow larger muscles. I went from 212 to 260, this was all muscle and losing my gut. * If your worried about gaining weight just do at least 30 mins of cardio, drink lots of water, eat good and don't go heavy on the weights. * The key to weight loss is your diet, it does not matter if you lift heavy. Add in cardio and get a good diet. * When done correctly, and combined with the correct diet, weight training will increase your metabolism and lead to weight loss. It would also help if you did some mild cardio such as brisk walking, which will burn additional calories during and immediately after your walks. Done in moderation, it will not interfere with your strength training gains. For more in-depth information, see the page link, further down this page, listed under "Related Questions."
* Depending on your current lifestyle (activity level, diet) and training routine, results will vary. For instance, if you are a 5'8" (173 cm) male that weighs 165 lbs (75kg), you should probably not expect to lose any weight if you are working out. As muscle weighs more than fat, your BMI will probably only increase (or stay about the same) by starting a weight routine, increasing your overall mass (weight). On the other hand, if you are over 200-215 lbs at the same height, if you start to gain weight on a new workout routine, you are probably doing something wrong.
* If your goal is to lose weight, you should focus on high repetition sets with lower weights. This will define your muscles without getting overly bulky. Combine these type of exercises with High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and other cardio work. You can keep about the same diet as you regularly would, but decrease your fat consumption, and moderately increase your protein intake for muscle repair.
* If your goal is to gain weight, you will focus on higher weights with lower repetitions (NOTE: Beginners should always start a new weight routine with lower weights for 4-6 weeks before starting to "max-out" and increase weight - this will help to prevent injury). Again, combine with HIIT workouts, but less cardio work. Increase your protein intake to at least 1g/kg of body weight per day without worrying too much about your fat intake (unless you have a high fat diet - then make adjustments).
* Whatever your goal, if you decide to combine weight lifting with cardio (always a good idea - unless you are a competitive body builder), you should do cardio on your off days for lifting if at all possible. If you do them on the same day, do cardio in the morning well before your weight routine or do your cardio after your weight routine. Always give the muscle group that you worked ample time to recover and you will make better gains and prevent injury. An easy run day can be a recovery for a leg workout.
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.

How much can an average man bench press?
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.
What supplements do you have to take to build muscles fast?
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.

What type of skills are required in weightlifting?
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.

If you are 12 years old and 160 pounds what should you bench press?
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...
There is probably no "average" bench press max because of that fact that it varies greatly depending on the upperbody strength of the individual. However for males in highschool, especially athletes, benchpress maxes have been achieved at massive weights such as over 500 lbs ( Sam Harvill Shiloh Christian Academy- 520 lb bench as highshool junior). There are no statistics that cover the "average" benchpress due to the fact that not everyone has attempted to max out on the bench. As a junior football player in highschool, my benchpress max is 320 lbs and I am one of the strongest in my school. If you are benching over 300 lbs and in highschool, you are in good shape but there are few who have gone beyond what was once considered impossible.

Protein is best after a workout. Muscles rip during exercise and the rebuilding process is what makes them stronger. That's when you need the protein. Also, protein before a workout can cause digestive issues during that workout. ______________________________________________________________________ Answer:
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.

How much weights should a teen lift?
Assuming that your skeleton is ready for the stresses of weight training (which usually occurs around age 16, in my opinion), you should concentrate on the fundamental exercises (namely, squats, deadlifts, presses, rows, dips, and chins) just like everyone else who is beginning a serious weight-training program.
It is very important to learn and use perfect exercise technique right from the beginning. Avoid dangerous exercises. Avoid using weights that are so heavy that you get 4 or fewer reps (until you get older, in my opinion). Do injury prevention exercises (such as L-flyes and side bends). Instead of letting your ego drive you into rushing your development, think of yourself as laying the foundation for a lifetime of productive training. Perhaps the best book to get you started correctly is Stuart McRobert's BUILD MUSCLE LOSE FAT LOOK GREAT.
