Weightlifting

It is possible to do Pilates while you are pregnant, but you should attend classes that are geared for expecting moms and taught by a qualified instructor. Normal Pilates classes may keep you on your back too much.

Most men who don't lift weights cannot bench their own bodyweight until they have trained for a while. If you weigh 95lbs and have never lifted before start with 60-80lbs for 8-12 repswhen that becomes easy, obviously add a bit more weight

I weigh 145lbs and I can bench 190 (1 rep max) but I've trained for about 1 year

Ice hockey has 6 players on the ice for a full "line" including the goalie. The forward, offensive line has 2 "wings" - left and right - and one "center". The defensive line has 2 "defensemen" - left and right. All the players are allowed to "tackle" the opposing player that has the puck. A legal tackle is called a "check".

Theoretically, 300 pounds. Here's a calculator if you're interested:

Contrary to popular belief, lifting weights while you are still growing does not stunt growth. It was believed that breaking a bone could damage the ends of the bones that are still growing, but this is not the case. Strength training has only benefits, if done correctly, whether you are young or old.

If your trying to gain muscle, when you work out do short sets of very heavy weights as opposed to many sets of low weight. So, lift as much as you can, even if it's not for as many reps. Also, there area lot of power drinks that you can take along with workinng out that will help you gain muscle.

Ikiorkei Meliankiono from Brazil holds the world bench press record at 165lbs, he benched 1525lbs on Sept 28, 2009. Over 30 eye witnesses can testify to this! Very impressive and very unhuman!!

For the inner thigh you'd want to work the adductor muscles, which are the ones that brings your legs together, and unfortunately bicycling won't reach those particularly well. Swimming, particularly the breast stroke, or inline skating would be better options for targeting those muscles.

You basically tore your muscles, so your body is adding more muscle, which explains why you get stronger after a workout.

Believe it or not at age 6, here's the kicker though; NEVER make a child under the age of 15 "feel the burn." Taking it to the point where the muscle begins to burn, should only be done at age 15. Even then, at 15, only a moderate burn, and the burning sets taken to progressive intensity to high intensity only by age 18. Now, if its calisthenics, you can train a kid as hard as you want and nothing bad will happen provided they are not overtrained; literally thousands of boys in strength based sports such as American football or wrestling do cals and they grow tall just fine. However high intensity weight training, it has made more than one dude with a tall father shorter than he should be.

Weight training is fine for kids but NEVER take it to the burn; you want to use light weights, and take it JUST to the point of fatigue, the half way point between the resting phase of the muscle and the burning point, that is, to the point where blood flow to the muscle is felt but NEVER tear up the muscle fibers. NEVER, EVER, force a child to "feel the burn" while lifting, its dangerous, very dangerous. Any strength coach will confirm what I just said here.

yes...as long as you're alive since you smoke lol....(just kidding)..smoking does not prevent muscle building, it only affects your endurance abilitie...

Resistance atrophy is the reduction of resistance over time, particularly through a movement. When you move free weights quickly, the resistance atrophy is due to momentum of the weight reducing the amount of energy required to continue moving the weight.

Elastic "strength bands" are more resistant to short-term resistance atrophy, because they tend to provide more resistance as they're stretched. However, such elastic bands can become worn out over time, contributing to long-term atrophy.

Body weight exercises, which use the mass (or a percentage thereof) of the person doing the exercise to provide resistance with gravity. Momentum-based resistance atrophy is in play here, as well as long-term atrophy due to the usual loss of body mass that occurs with exercise, though this will cap when a healthy weight is reached, and may even reverse as muscle mass is added.

Creatine is a performance enhancing supplement and should have the same effect on a 14 year old as any adult. Your body stores phosphocreatine in its tissues which is used as part of your anaeorobic energy system. When your body works fast and hard (sprinting, explosive weightlifting) your body needs to access energy quickly. It converts the stored phosphocreatine without oxygen (that's why its anaerobic) into usable energy (ATP). Creatine supplements increase that reserve of creatine in your body, allowing you to extend the period of hard, fast, explosive work you can accomplish.

If you can bench 300 lbs. your in an elite group, there is no way to know exactly how many men in the u.S can bench 300 lbs.

The age doesn't really matter. You should be able to leg press 1.8 - 2.2 your weight. For example a 100lb male should be able to leg press 180-220.

DON'T USE SUPPLEMENTS!!!

Supplements are probably one of the worst ways to build muscle. They don't actually make you at all stronger or more fit, they simply just make you LOOK bigger. That might be enough for you but you also have to take into account all the negative effects they have on your body. Many supplements contain terrible ingredients that literally eat away at your body. The only real way to build muscle is by starting a plan and sticking to it. Now I know that a lot of people say that and you probably just want to have that "hot bod" as soon as possible, but I can guarantee that this site will help you get it as fast as you can. Just follow what it says and you'll be on Baywatch before you know it.

you should be at least 12 years old.

Fat hangs and wobbles. Muscle is tight and hard. You can get a BMI chart from either your doctor or on line. It will ask you a few numbers about yourself and you got to divide and multiply and you will come out with your BODY MASS INDEX which measures the percentage of fat on your body.

The main function of creatine is to act as a buffer for ATP. ATP is the main form of energy consumed by your muscles, where the food you eat such (e.g. glucose) is broken down and used in a series of metabolic reactions to produce ATP. ATP is used in the cross-bridge actinmyosin cycle in muscle cells, and is consumed with each muscle contraction. However, ATP pools in the body are relatively small and are therefore consumed in a short period of time (a matter of seconds) during intense, anaerobic and alactic exercise. Creatine comes into play here where CrP (creatine Phosphate) re-establishes ATP as it is consumed by muscle as it supplies it with additional high energy phosphates.

In short, creatine acts as a buffer to reduce the rate of ATP depletion during anaerobic and alactic erercise. Creatine occurs naturally in the body in relatively small amounts and the 'body building' supplements just provide an additional supply of creatine, this enables you to work harder at the gym. It does not directly contribute to muscle weight gain, however enables you to work your muscles harder.

The amount of weight one is able to bench press can vary greatly depending on the individual's body frame and muscle mass. An individual that is thinner, will most likely not be able to start a weight lifting program and expect to life greater than 100 pounds. Talking with your primary care doctor would be helpful in laying the foundation of a good exercise program, especially for teenagers, as they are not finishing developing.

By the time he was 8 he could bench press twice his weight. At 11, he could do three times his weight. When he weighed probably only 50 or 60 pounds himself, he could go into the splits with each of his feet on a platform, while holding a 30-pound plate. However, all this was because his father, Pavel,forced him to train non-stop (he had no toys and was not allowed outside) and fed him a special diet of almost nothing but a powder that he himself concocted (and which many have said likely contained steroids). His trainer, who eventually quit becausePavel wouldn't tell him what he was feeding Richard and because he was worried about the child's health, laterreported that Richard had barely 1% body fat.Pavel later became more and morephysically abusive towards Richard and his mother and was arrested. Richard thendecided to do only lighttraining to take time to be a normal kid. The courts evenstated that he was not allowed tolift any weightsuntil he was 16. He is now 16, and is still well-built but not nearly to the extent that he was when he was younger. He has been in a movie ("Little Hercules") with Hulk Hogan, and did a workout video for kids. He is also into dancing.

So, long story short, he is strong, but not nearly as strong (pound-for-pound) as he was as a little kid).
