Weightlifting

Proper grip is important when doing barbell exercises. In particular, the distance between your hands is important. Do not use a thumbless grip and ensure proper spacing. Proper spacing varies with different exercises. A book that provides excellent instruction on proper exercise technique is Stuart McRobert's BUILD MUSCLE LOSE FAT LOOK GREAT.

Bodybuilders get so large by eating lots of carbohydrates and protein foods. They also work out twice a day lifting weights and focus on one muscle group at a time. Bodybuilders tend to avoid cardio exercise due to the fact it increases weight loss.

Depends... Can you throw a football? Can you kick? Its not always the strongest, fastest, or biggest guy is the best player but it sure does help. Im just guessing ... kicker, punter, or maybe a quarterback (chicks dig the QB) Good luck kid

Yes, just don't over-do it, as your body is in a very stressful time of growth.

500 pounds he is pretty beast and he is a wide receiver that has set the National record for the most catches middle school football in history.

For many people it is a need to put more weight on the bar, for others, it is a need to over compensate. The answer to this is the same answer as to why any athlete does anything, or why anybody at all does anything, because they choose to, or they enjoy it.

Bench press exercises employ bones in the hand, wrist, forearm, arm, shoulder, back, and chest. The elbow and shoulder joints are used as well. Some sources may note the scapulathoracic joint's use as well, but this is not a true anatomic joint by definition.

In order to increase bench press you must not do it more than every 2-3 days because your muscles need time to rest you can add weight to your bench press every 2 weeks with 5-10 pounds I usually bench press every 4 days and the that after my bench I like to work my triceps because triceps have a big impact on bench press also have you tried other workouts on your bench day like dumbbell press, dumbbells fly or incline and decline bench press you could also gain more muscle which could help you with the weight eat high protein foods such as chicken and lean steak also get lots of rest

I'm a NEW professional trainer for WWE . I used to train people in TNA like Bobby Lashley , Kurt Angle , Booker T , and many more . But I recently trained this very well knowned superstar named Bobby Lashley and his maxes are incredible .

Bobby Lashley's Maxes : Bench Press ( MAX) - 645

Squat ( MAX) - 605 1/2

Power Clean ( MAX) - 433 1.5

But those maxes of Bobby Lashley were maxed out when he was in the Military . But I have plenty more superstars that I have trained I will try and do my best askinq other questions about superstars .

On November 8, 2008, Ukrainian-American power lifter Ryan Kennelly set the world record bench press. Kennelly performed the record bench press of 1,075 pounds (489 kilograms) at the Pride Performance Strength Wars in Kennewick Washington. It was his third successful attempt of the day, with each attempt greater than 1,000 pounds. This lift bested his former bench press world record of 1,074 pounds (488 kilograms) at the United Powerlifting Association Bench Bash For Cash in Dubuque, Iowa (July 12, 2008). It was the fifth time in a row that Kennelly had bested the bench press record.

I am 14 (5'5 140) and can do 25 consecutive chin ups i would say being able to do 10 is decent but then again when i got my bar i couldn't do 1 you can build up chin up ability very quickly.

I'm thirteen 5'7 140 and I can do fifty after one month of having my bar so it doesn't take long to get good!

When I was 16 I did 300 consecutive chin-ups. I thought I was the strongest kid around until my high school gym teacher forced me to them with proper forum. That is, 3 seconds up, chin 90 degree angle with the bar and pause for 1.5 seconds, 4 seconds on the way down, then when you get down you fully extend your arms then pause for 1.5 seconds. Then repeat this cycle. I went from doing 300 cheaters to doing approximately 10 real chin ups. So i could do 30 times less chin ups when using perfect forum.

Given that, I would estimate that if you can do 50 cheating chin-ups and if I threatened you and said do as many perfect forum chin ups as you can, I would have to do something drastic after about 5 because that's all you could do.

To answer the question: If you can do 10 perfect form chin ups you are part of an elite group it doesn't matter your age.

Monday - Chin Ups 5x5 - Squats 5x5 - Deadlift 5x5. Tuesday - Rest. Wednesday - Squats 4x6 - Deadlift 4x6 - Military Press 4x6. Thursday - Rest. Friday - Chin Ups 4x6 - Squats 3x10 - Deadlift 3x10. Saturday - Rest. Sunday - Rest. Start Routine Again. Change Routine Every Month.

The pros are longer life, increase strength, increased stamina.

The cons are mostly economical (need to buy more food, need somewhere or something to lift) or timely. Other cons are stretch marks, excess skin oils producing rashes and pimples, bad odor.

You should work on your bench press strength because 165 is a low max for how much you weigh. Ideally athletes can at least bench as much as their own body weight. Plus the upper body strength will help you block for the ballcarrier

Quick notation, for 5'9" and as a freshman, 209lbs is very high. I'd picture you as a defensive lineman rather than a Linebacker. Make sure you work on your speed, as a strong LB with quick feet can nearly ensure success.

im also 5'9" im squating 350 max dead liftin right around 270 benching 235 and running a 40 in 4.8 thanks

"Lifetime hour" is AMAZING, they even let you get a month free, no rip off!!! In Tampa bay, Florida!!!!!! I could get you a good deal, too, my cousin's husband owns it!

I wouldn't say they should, but they can. Anyone who wants to lead a healthy life, can start working out right from the age of around 15 yrs.

i dont think that age matters im 13 about 190 and can bench my weight i think it all depends on weather or not your ready physicaly. I`m also thirteen and can bench 100kg. I`m about 75kg, not fat.

well for your pre lift supplement take Muscle pharms assult and pre lift take some carnivor protein and in the morning take 1 scoop of protein and a scoop of iso mass xtreme gainer hope this helps

This depends entirely on your own capabilities. A short answer is that you should complete as many as you can with perfect form. When you break form (either due to lifting to heavy of a weight, or doing more reps than necessary) stop working the muscle as effectively and you increase your risk of injury.

if You use less than 60% of your 1 rep max it's ok, otherwise you should only every oyther day if you're going to be bench pressing in order to get stronger or bigger, then no, do not bench press every day. If you are a woman or a man who wants to lift like a woman or look like a woman, then feel free to. Bench press is a man's lift. A big lift. A growing lift. You should bench press once per week. maybe twice. but go for big weight each time. Bench press is not cardio. So stay away from 60% max crap and stay strong.

The best way to gain muscle mass & size is to train heavy and train for fewer no. of days in the week.

The below workout would have to completed in one day. You must repeat the cycle every Monday - Wednesday - Friday. The remaining 4 days would be rest days. Each exercise would consist of 4 sets. The first will be with 10 repetitions to sufficiently warm up the muscle. The next 3 sets would 8, 6, 6 with progressively heavier weights. Lifting heavy and in proper form is extremely important if you want to build mass. Do not cheat or compromise on the form or the weight. If you are going to lift comfortable weights and do the below workout, you will probably gain one or two pounds in 6 months. The heavier/harder you workout, more would be the gain.

# Flat Bench Press - 4 * 10, 8, 6, 6 (Chest)

# Military Press or Shoulder Press - 4 * 10, 8, 6, 6 (Shoulders)

# T Bar Row or Low Cable row - 4 * 10, 8, 6, 6 (Lats) # Squats - 4 * 10, 8, 6, 6 # Leg Press - 4 * 10, 8, 6, 6 # French press or Close grip bench press - 4 * 10, 8, 6, 6 (Triceps) # Barbell curls - 4 * 10, 8, 6, 6 (Biceps)

# Hammer Curls - 4 * 10, 8, 6, 6 (Bicep Brachialli)

# Wrist Curls - 4 * 10, 8, 6, 6 (Forearms) # Crunches or Hanging leg raises - 4 * 25 The above workout would take around 1 hour to complete if done without too much rest. If you feel, this workout is too much to do in one day, split it up as two parts. Chest, shoulders, lats and abs in the morning and legs and arms in the evening. Remember to wrap up everything in one day.

Give the body the next day to recuperate. Don't even go in the direction of the gym. Repeat the cycle on Wednesday.

Note: Eating properly is extremely important during such mass gain cycles. Eat at least 1 gram of protein per kg of body weight if you want to see your muscles grow in size.

Usually yes. In the process of weight lifting, you are actually tearing/breaking down muscle tissue. The soreness you feel is related to how much tissue was broken down during your weight lifting session. This soreness can last for a day or two, or as long as a week. It all depends how much you lifted, and how intense your workout was. The old weight lifting saying goes " no pain, no gain", which is referring to the pain you feel after your workout.

No it makes you have more muscels tending to make you weigh more.
