Weightlifting

Worry about which protein supplement is best for you to reach your fitness goals, first of all, see all things about your protein before buying.

1. Buy only authenticate the product.

2. Use isolate protein if your budget allows it because Isolate protein is expensive than concentrate.

3. Buy protein supplement where supplier gives you assurity of original supplement i.e, original authenticator bill.

In my opinion, one of the best, effective, and budget-friendly protein supplement is Optimum Nutrition ON Gold Standar

Yes, this is old enough. Lifting will not stunt your growth as the myth grows. Just make sure you do it correctly, and get supervision at first.

well that depends a lot on your body. ie weight, body mass index, etc. if your a fit athlete and its 220 pounds of muscle then i would expect over 300 pounds. however if your very unathletic it could be less than 200. there are som many variances in peoples builds its impossible to give you a concrete answer. what im saying is tell us your bmi, and your fitness history and i will be able to give you a decently accurate prediction

A repetition in weight training would be more than one lifting motion.

If I was doing 8 repetitions (aka reps) on squat, I would squat with the bar 8 times. Usually you do so many sets with a set amount of repetitions.

Usually no. Normally weightlifting equipment is kept indoors, and usually it is not a game, though people do compete at bodybuilding.

Herb Strange made history by bench pressing more than 230 pounds at the 2009 World Powerlifting Federation Championships in Las Vegas.

Not bad for a 77-year-old.

He broke the record for power lifting in his age category at the championship in November.

The Leawood resident is showing no signs of slowing down, either. He's set to participate in another power lifting competition in Branson in March.

"I want to keep lifting for as long as I can," Strange said. "Why not? I'm healthy and having fun. Hopefully nothing will break on me."

Strange began lifting weights at 14. By his twenties, he was already participating in local competitions.

The activity fit well into his athletic lifestyle.

Strange played basketball at Purdue University before joining the Army, where he repaired machinery. The San Francisco native was also an active football player.

As he got older, Strange stopped lifting. Two years ago, however, his life changed forever.

After joining a gym, he met a few guys training for weight lifting competitions. They encouraged him to train as well.

Power lifting seemed a safe bet for the senior citizen.

"I didn't want to do something that would paralyze me for the rest of my life," Strange said. "I needed something that would just keep me in shape."

After all, keeping in shape is one of Strange's main priorities in life.

The retired business owner has never smoked, does not drink and eats healthy food. Vegetables, chicken and fish are the staples of his diet. He wishes more people his age - and younger - would take care of themselves.

It saddens him that sometimes he is the oldest person at the gym.

In the midst of his training, Strange decided to relocate.

"It was time to leave the California area because it's changed. It's no longer as nice as it used to be," he said. "It's filthy and there is corruption all over the place."

Since his ancestors originated from Kansas, Strange and his wife, Karen, decided to move to the Kansas City area a year ago. It was the best decision they ever made.

"It was time to come home," Strange said. "We love it here and the people are nice. If you ask for directions in San Francisco, people ignore you, but if you ask for directions in Kansas, people will take your hand and lead you there."

He soon became a regular at the Midtown Athletic Club in Overland Park, where he has made a lot of close friends and gained even more admirers.

"Herb is a fantastic role model for everyone because he dispels that unwritten belief that when you hit 60, you need to leave the gym," said Dan Meditz, a fitness director at Midtown. "He gives you motivation to continue working out. If someone can do it at 77, someone can do it at 37."

After recently winning the world championship, his star status in weight lifting circles has grown.

He's been receiving warm welcomes from weight lifting champions all over the Kansas City area.

One of those fans is Ken Ufford, a well-known power-lifting athlete with 30 years experience under his belt.

Ufford, an Overland Park police officer, has been working out with Strange once a week since the two became friends a couple months ago.

"I used to feel too old to lift but since Herb came around, I don't feel old at all," Ufford said, with a laugh. "In all my years of lifting I have never met anyone his age. I think it would be so cool to be 80 years old and still lifting."

Strange is amused by all the younger guys who are surprised by his age.

He's kind of surprised by his success himself. Plus, the amiable athlete considers every weight-lifter he meets as a friend.

"Weight lifters don't compete against each other; we compete against ourselves," he said. "I respect myself and I just do the best I can."

His good-natured attitude and friendliness are a breath of fresh air for his workout buddies and gym employees.

His impeccable work ethic impresses them as well.

Strange works out three times a week. He can currently lift 245 pounds - something most Americans would find impossible.

His friends admit: Strange is remarkable.

"He has dedication and passion, which helped him destroy the previous record," said Meditz. "You just don't get there by having a gift or being blessed. It takes a lot of hard work."

It has to be added that although Strange is impressive, his records are not over all World records.

Tom Sisk is recognized as the oldest man in the World to bench press "raw" over 300 lbs. in World competition and accomplished this Sept 2014 at age 78 with a bench of 301lbs. He had previously held this record from 2011 with a bench of 308 lbs. at age 75.

Yes, with a little bit of determination and workouts you can bench double your weight, though that takes some time. Get into the gym. Remember, Sleep BIG, Eat BIG, LIFT BIG.

Whoever answered above is absolutely right. Almost everyone has the potential to bench their bodyweight and i would reasonably guess that almost every motivated, disciplined male can bench press twice his bodyweight eventually. There are even some prime lifters who can bench press almost 3 TIMES their own bodyweight!

To begin with, eating right isn't going to build muscle if you aren't providing your body with a stimulus for muscular growth (hypertrophy).

First off is training, for beginners aim for a full body workout no more than 3x per week.

For advanced weightlifters however you perform your full body workout/split routine is fine.

Nutrition Post Workout: Should consist of low fat (fat slows digestion) High Carb/ High protein shake. The carbs should almost all be SIMPLE CARBS or SUGAR. The high sugar content causes the shake to digest quicker and causes an insulin spike. With this spike and your increased blood flow after a workout, nutrients will flow into your pumping muscle and be stored.

Nutrition non-workout days: EAT YOUR MEATS! I DONT CARE IF THEY'RE "LEAN" OR NOT! Meats are a FANTASTIC source of protein, key in rebuilding muscle. Also increase your intake of Omega 3 Fatty Acids especially in whole foods such as fish, as this will increase your natural testosterone (muscle building hormone).

For building muscle you need EXCESS calories. So whatever you normally eat, add 500-750 calories to that number. YOU WILL GAIN FAT WHEN GAINING MUSCLE! IF YOU DON'T WANT FAT DON'T TRY TO GAIN MUSCLE! Your body simply cannot use all excess calories for hypertrophy therefore you will store some as fat.

Would write alot more but getting l8 hope this helped :)

No. If you train with correct form it will not stunt your growth, but if you train with no guidance and have bad form it may and it will lead to muscle injury. I am 6' 2'' and i started lifting at 12. i was 5' 4'' when i started. Im now 19 and have grown 8 inches since. i started bench pressing about 8 reps of 88 lbs and 12 and i am not short at all. Science also backs up the theory that weight training wont stunt your growth whereas the theory that it will is just a myth.

Although the details of how it actually occurs at still unknown, muscles react to resistance or weight training by becoming stronger and usually larger. The important point is that weight lifting stimulates growth; in other words, the growth does not occur in the gym but afterwards during recovery as your body adapts to the increased demands you have put on it.

I had heard that he had benched 225 (standart bench at combine) 17 times at his nfl combine.

Average for who? age? weight? gender? sport? level? training age?


College female non-weightlifter: 60-70+ kg
College female weightlifter: 90+ kg


College male non-weightlifter: 100+ kg
College male weightlifter: 150+ kg


With correct technique and coaching, the sky's the limit...

You're comparing apples to oranges, here. completing one push up means you're lifting only a fraction of your boly weight (roughly 2/3). By this definition, you'd only have to do two push ups before you'd done more "work" (as in "Joules") than one repition of benching your own body weight, however, as experience will tell you, the latter is actually much more difficult.

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.
