Weightlifting

while weightlifting can make you stronger it is not recommended to start lifting heavy weights until you reach high school so the best thing to weight lift now is low weight and a lot of reps until you are about 15 years old then you can up the weight and lower the reps. but in answer of your questiong the goal is usually 125% of your body weight or in your case around 112.5 pounds would qualify you for presidential standards which should meet any school standard for an "A"

I started lifting just before 11, and I turn 13 in under a month (January 30th). I am in the 7th grade. At just about 13, I weigh 89-90 lbs. exactly, and I'm 5'3. My one rep max is 115 lbs, but I have been coming really close with 120, like so close that the only reason I didn't get it was because my bench was too far in and so when I pushed the weight up, it hit the holding racks and I couldn't move it so it dropped. But anyways, benching 25-30 pounds over body weight is a lot more than any of my friends can do, so I'd say I'm way above average for my weight (in my opinion). 13 isn't too young to be lifting so as long as you are careful. I've grown 2 or 3 inches in the last year, and my grandparents who come every year at Christmas couldn't believe how big I was, so you ain't going to stunt your growth if you're smart about lifting. If you are just starting you probably won't be getting a lot of weight unless you are naturally strong. Try to work to your body weight and the rest will come. I've gained nearly at least 35 lbs. in bench press since last January.

This really depends on your comfort zone. Anything supportive, possibly back and or wrist braces depending on your activity. As exercise makes you sweat, loose absorbent material is preferable. If you are dead lifting, take care in selecting the proper well balanced shoes so that if the weight causes you to loose balance, you won't injure your legs or ankles.

Well, that's a pretty small linebacker. I'm an 8th grader from Oregon, and am 5'10" 150. I play inside linebacker. I bench 160, so I'd say you should be benching 120 minimum (your body weight) but 130 is a good goal.

Well it depends on how heavy the weights are and how much you lift them. If they are heavy, then be careful; don't overwork yourself or you will be sore the next day. You can judge what is right for yourself.

stay on one muscle group until about 3-5 sets. resting 2-3 mins in between each set. then if you may wish to rest. then move on to another muscle group

Decide for yourself! The way to accomplish this is to read the facts panels of different whey protein products. The fist difference you'll notice is some products have a 'Nutrition Facts' panel while other have 'Supplement Facts'. A whey protein labeled with a Nutrition Facts panel is considered a food. All of the ingredients are GRAS (generally recognized as safe) approved by the FDA. Next, check the levels of fat, calories, carbohydrates and sugar. You want these to be low. 120 - 140 calories is an acceptable range and no more than 3 grams of fat, sugar or carbs. A protein shake should be the gut-buster ice cream milkshakes are! Then check the ingredients list. What's the first thing mentioned? That's the ingredient taking up the most volume in the tub. The last ingredient on the list accounts for very little volume and will likely be sodium or some preservative. If the first ingredient listed is whey protein isolates, that's a quality protein. If it's whey concentrate or milk concentrate, it's an inferior product.

I haven't experienced this alot myself, but my guess would be that the weights cut the bloodstream into the hand and/or impose a lot of stress upon the bones and tissue of the hand which may have something to do with it, but honestly I'm only guessing

The best supplement for building muscle is a combination of whey protein and creatine. Take creatine before a workout and whey protein after. Also, an amino acid supplement or a muscle fiber recruitment supplement would also be beneficial to add before your workout.

You have to be careful weight training at that age, because your bones are still at a formative stage.

Some limited weigh training is fine, but you would be better advised to get for low weight high reps, rather than high weight low reps.

Well, it depends. Muscle and exercise are the two main keys to strength. But body fat doesn't make you stronger, just heavier. So, assuming the same muscle mass and time spent exercising for each, the fat one would probably be a tad weaker due to having to lift her bulk as well.

I would recommend not 3 exercises but 5. These are called the big Five. They are:

Squats,

Deadlift,

Bench Press,

Press, and

Rowing.

The protocol you use to do these exercises is up to you (but I recommend deadlifting at the most only once a week).

For a 13-year-old girl: You should probably be able to do at least 5 (real push-ups, not girl push-ups). If you can work your way up to doing 20-25, you're doing awesome.

For a 13-year-old boy: You should probably be able to do at least 8-10 real push-ups. Try to eventually be able to do around 25-30.

All people have different body structures. If they have broader shoulders then 25- 45 pounds and if there more slim the 15-20

For me ,as a body builder, i will recommend taking it not more than half an hour after your workout, make sure the body parts you aiming that day are really exhausted before you drink. If you want for higher recovery , take it in the morning straight away after you wake up, as on that time your body protein is the least, replenishing it helps on repair on muscle. But taking after work out is a must (:

No, that's a myth. Weight training will not stunt your growth. However, that does not mean that it is advisable before the age of about 16. Then, lifting weights, when using correct form, should be beneficial. It is risky to do it any earlier unless one has expert coaching and supervision.

Make sure that you start with a fiveminute warm up period. Make sure that you are doing the right workout plan. Wear the appropriate clothing and most importantly make sure that you stay hydrated.

He never did. The WWE bent the truth. He won the Arnold classic. This is a weightlifting contest. Not the worlds strongest man contest. He placed 7th in the olympics~justinaw990. please contact me for any information further. trust me this is the right answer and people keep putting their name on it. please lock this answer or give me the trust point

Stand squarely in front of the object. Bend the knees to lower yourself to a level where you can grasp the object with both hands. Grip firmly, and slowly rise to your feet. Carry the object close to your body (to keep your centre of gravity vertical).

It doesn't help me run faster or longer that's for sure, but others might be different. When I'm running longer distances, I find that I have to concentrate on my breathing etc. If I have an Ipod or other device on, I feel that I can be distracted from this, and I actually end up doing worse than if I wasn't wearing one.

I think this is one of those personal preferences.

but if you listen to a song that you enjoy thoroughly, that will help you with distracting you from the pain and fatigue of running long distances

Most people use Whey when there 18 and older, but there's no side affect from drinking it when your 13 -17. Just remember not to take synthesized steroids, as it messes up your hormones and stunts your growth.

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
