Weightlifting

At 32 a professional bodybuilder is nearing the end of his ability to build strength. That is why a lot of sports athlets tend to retire by their mid thirties. However, it's never too late for someone to start working out with weights you just have to be safe and work with what you can control. I have been arround gyms and know a few guys who train for regional competitions. A friend of mine is 44 and can bench 370 with no professional background or offical training other then his basement and a spotter.

I'm a basketball player and some players like Dwight Howard and Lebron James are rumoured to be able to bench in the mid 300's. Some of the smaller players would not be able to bench 200. However, you might not be able to find a professional football player outside of the punter who couldn't bench 200lbs.

I would say 200 lbs is generally a strong man. It's a good benchmark for those who have been arround sports or consider themself hardy or strong. Because most men will not be disposed to heavy lifting they will never bench that much.

An average 32 year old man in North American culture could probably bench 150-170 or so with a weeker man benching under 140. Most men are also incapable of benching their own weight.

There is no one single person credited with inventing weightlifting. There are drawings in Egyptian tombs that show men engaged in weight lifting, so it really isn't an invention as much as it is something that has developed over the centuries.

Whey protein powder is the preferred protein supplement, as it is the most bio-absorbent, and consists of natural dairy protein. It is best to get an isolated form of whey protein.

Weight lifting is not illegal, but the most weight ever lifted was by Louis Cyr. He lifted 4,175lbs onto his back.

Weightlifting, like many sports played at a high level, causes specific adaptation of the body and this adaptation enables the athlete's performance to improve. If you undertake endurance training on a regular basis, your endurance improves. If you undertake training in the sport of Olympic Weightlifting, your power, strength and athleticism improves. In any sport training, the organs of the body respond to training and improve their functioning. There is no evidence that the liver in Weightlifters is caused damage as a result of proper training. However, there could be damage to the liver if an athlete takes performance enhancing drugs. This is not permitted in sport but unfortunately people do. All drugs taken in excess can damage the liver including paracetemol which millions of people take everyday.

Diabetics are often prescribed well-structured meal plans and a fixed timetable to help them regulate their blood sugar levels. Amongst many other things that are barred from the best diet for diabetics, refined sugar is one such ingredient that tops the list. With the dietary restrictions that an average diabetic has to adhere to, they tend to lose out on certain essential nutrients. While protein supplements are a very good option to fulfill their protein requirement, most top whey protein supplements have processed sugar in them in one form or the other. Finding a protein brand for diabetics that has zero cholesterol protein supplements that come in sugar-free variants becomes a daunting challenge.

GRD- one of the top protein brands in India has GRD- The Superior Protein Sugar-free protein supplement, especially for diabetics. This protein supplement has whey protein, has no added sugar, and is low in fat making it the best protein powder for diabetics. Its dietary fibers and 26 essential nutrients make it an ideal choice for people with diabetes and obesity and also for people looking for sugar-free protein supplements in general.

It all depends on how much you weight, how long you have lifted and many other factors. A good scale to follow by is your body weight. The average 17 year old should be benching at or above your body weight.

This is what a person should be able to lift, but if you take the average 17 yr. old the can not bench their weight.. take the average doest play football or wrestle, which is the 2 primary sports where weight lifting is part of the program. They will lift weights in basketball but it is for a different purpose not for bruit strength its more for stamina.

Hell the average person should be able to do this as well but most people who do not work out can not lift their weight.

And Lebron James CANNOT bench 400 lbs. Shaq cant do much more then 400 lbs.

I believe when weightlifting and one's muscles are extremely sore, the body retains water and that area becomes inflamed and swollen. I think this is the body's attempt to repair itself. If this becomes a problem for you, try to cut down on sodium and drink lots of fluid and it will pass in a few days as the muscle begins to feel better. Don't continue working out this area if you are still sore. Make sure you give the muscle group time to repair as this is when you will become bigger and stronger...rest.

I am 63, 200 lbs, and my max bench press is about 250, though I did 275 a couple of years ago. Just getting older, I guess. I usually do sets up to ~ 235, beginning with a warm up at 135; then 185, 205 215, 225 and a max at 235, using free weights. I then do 3 sets of inclines and 3 sets of flies, both on a pulley system.

A pre-workout supplement, often referred to as "pre-workout," is a specialized dietary product designed to be consumed before exercise to enhance performance, energy levels, and overall workout effectiveness. These supplements come in various forms, including powders, capsules, and liquids, and are widely used by fitness enthusiasts, athletes, and bodybuilders.

Key Components of Pre-Workout Supplements:

Caffeine: Caffeine is a common ingredient in pre-workout supplements, known for its stimulating effects. It can increase alertness, focus, and energy levels, helping you feel more awake and ready for your workout.

Amino Acids: Pre-workout supplements often contain amino acids like beta-alanine and branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs). Beta-alanine can help delay muscle fatigue, while BCAAs support muscle recovery and reduce muscle soreness.

Nitric Oxide Boosters: Ingredients like L-citrulline and arginine are included to promote the dilation of blood vessels, improving blood flow to muscles. This can enhance endurance and muscle pump during workouts.

Energy Boosters: Various energy-boosting compounds, such as taurine and tyrosine, may be present to increase stamina and mental alertness.

Herbs and Extracts: Some pre-workout supplements include herbal extracts like green tea extract or beetroot powder, believed to enhance endurance and promote fat oxidation.

Vitamins and Minerals: These supplements often contain vitamins and minerals like vitamin B12, which play essential roles in energy metabolism and muscle function.

How to Use Pre-Workout Supplements:

Pre-workout supplements are typically consumed 15 to 30 minutes before starting your exercise routine. They are mixed with water (if in powder form) or taken as directed on the product label. Dosage and timing may vary depending on the specific product and your individual tolerance.

Benefits of Pre-Workout Supplements:

• Increased energy levels
• Improved workout performance
• Enhanced focus and alertness
• Better endurance and stamina
• Muscle pump and vascularity
• Faster recovery between sets

It's important to use pre-workout supplements as directed and not exceed recommended dosages, as excessive intake can lead to side effects like jitters, rapid heart rate, or digestive issues. Individual tolerance varies, so it's advisable to start with a lower dose and adjust as needed.

basically all of your muscles are involved.

Well I'm 14... and not built huge in the way that I have a average to small body frame, but I lift 6 kilos in curls and can bench 20 kilos about 25 times non stop (I'm just using mine as a guideline).... so at sixteen if you are just starting on weights if you're quite strong start on a weight like 6-10 curl or if your stronger 10-15 or whatever. You should be able to lift 15 kilos over your head at sixteen if you can't you should train with weights. If you're really into getting strong and tank I would also recommend a martial art... maybe boxing, kickboxing, mu tai, hapkido or bj.

---I am 16 years old, I work out often. Around 3 hours a day. I can curl 31 KG on each arm. I can bench a total of 96 KG. On my 4-arms, i curl 22 KG. For crunch's on a vertical incline I add weight and on a single crunch i place 3 20 KG plates on my chest (60KG) For Lat pull downs i put on around 70KG. For a chest fly i use 22KG weights in each hand, (44KG). I don't recommend you doing something like that, you might hurt yourself. Although keep puching yourself and you will reach it. I dont think i am avg. Considering i am one of the strongest kids in my Martial arts divisions and also in my school. Gooid luck and "be Strong"

Weight loss through exercise is mainly about getting and keeping your heart rate up.

And pretty much all kinds of consistent activites, like running, bicycling, swimming, dancing etc etc does a better job of keeping your heart rate up than lifting weights does.

But to use up calories you need something for that use to happen in, and that means muscles.

If you're starting from pure couch potato, a bit of weight training will give you more muscle, and make it possible for you to burn more calories through that.

Keep in mind though that the big thing in weight loss is your diet. If you are overating it's pretty much impossible to exercise hard enough to lose anything that way. A snack that takes 5 minutes to eat, like a cupcake, can take one hour to burn off.

You exhale during the hard motion of the exercise, so if dumbell curling exhale during lifting it up, and inhale bringing it down. If you do that wrong you can develop hernia's where lifting heavy weights your intestines can come at you anal.

No. Some people, especially if they regularly do physical labor, are very strong without training in gyms lifting weights. A lot of your ability to move heavy objects is genetically determined.

Realize that there is a difference between being strong and being skilled at demonstrating strength. To demonstrate strength by, for example, doing a bench press or a clean-and-jerk, requires technique that must be learned and mastered in a gym. Therefore, some people who are naturally very strong may not be able to demonstrate their strength in standard ways.

To gain lean weight a person will want to eat more high calorie dense foods and eat every two to three hours. A few high calorie dense foods are peanut butter, lean red meat, bagels oats and dried fruit.

Weightlifting was introduced as a Commonwealth Games sport in 1950.

Since you do not want to damage the growth plates on the ends of your arm bones and leg bones, you would be better off lifting every other day with weights that you can do for 20 to 50 repetitions before exhaustion. It is important not to max out your weight, but for bulking up, you do want to lift to exhaustion, that is, the point at which you strain with all your strength but cannot lift the weight any longer. BE SURE to warm up for 15 minutes with light weights and 30-second stretches before you start with serious weights!!!

Keep the muscle moving or rub it to avoid lactic acid buildup (shich causes sore muscles), then do another repetition to exhaustion. Finish with a third rep to exhaustion, or until you muscles feels "pumped up". Warm down with much lighter weights long enough to move the lactic acid out of the muscles, say, 10 to 15 minutes or longer.

An hour per muscle group is plenty at age 15.

No, most can't.

few can. im sorry i cant remember the exact figure but an instructor told me that aroudn 1/20000 or 1/2000 (forgot how many 0's) actually can. so a massive majority cant

No. In fact, it can aid in digestion. When you workout, your blood flow increases and your metabolism rate increases which in turn increases your digestion & promotes hunger.
