What can thirteen year old boys do instead of lifting weights?
Anything you want to do..but if you mean for exercise then you could always do sports. You can run or swim or ride a bike. Lifting weights is about the only way you are going to get bigger though (i mean muscle mass, not skeletal size)
Should a 17 year old boy be drinking protein while lifting weights?
Absolutely. There is no reason anyone should abstain from taking protein supplements. Especially if the goal is to gain a substantial amount of muscle. As long as the protein intake is below or equal too 1g per Kg(2.2 Lbs) of the persons body weight, no harmful results are possible and great benefits will result from use of the supplement.
What are advantages of having good muscle tone?
You will be less fatigued by strenuous exercise, and depending on your workout schedule and or/lifestyle/job situation, you could really get things done. Good muscle tone also promotes good posture which also helps fend off fatigue, muscle imbalances, and reduces the chances of injury.
How many calories do powerlifters consume per day?
calorie intake for powerlifters varies on weight class, overall goal, bmr, and many other things. General answer is somewhere between 3500 and 6000. However some heavyweight powerlifters can take in as many as 12000 to 15000 per day.
Does Lou Ferrigno have any brothers?
he has at least one brother that owns a fitness supply store in washington, nj. his name is andrew.
Should you do sit ups before you weight train or after?
My only recommendation is that you try BOTH. One day try them first, then another day try them after, see which one you like better, it won't really matter. Depending on the intensity of your actual lifting session, you may feel too tired to do them after, so maybe start with them first, but if you feel you still have energy left after your session, do them after.
Remember, if you want to see visible abs it won't matter how many or how often you do sit ups if you have a layer fat covering your abs. Nice abs are made in the kitchen not the gym!
Does lifting weights stunt growth when your 12?
This is unfortunately an old wive's tale which is popular amongst too many adults and children. You're not going to be able to lift more heavier weights until you've reached puberty anyway, when your hormones will kick you into growing taller and growing muscles, and your mindset also becomes slightly more mature and stronger. What I mean by this is that your mind must be strong for you to lift; at the same time, weightlifting can make your mind stronger. Therefore you need to start with a weight that both your mind and your body can handle (i.e. weightlifting is partly psychological, partly down to muscles).
Whatever you can safely lift at 12 I do not believe will stunt your growth. Running and jumping create more forces on the body than weightlifting does. The US government observed that soccer, basketball, football, skateboarding, and bicycling injuries cause most stunt in growth. Weightlifting will actually stimulate your growth, including your bones and muscles. The other thing is that the best weightlifters are naturally shorter and heavier - you should not confuse cause with effect: shorter weightlifters can deadlift, squat and over-head press much more easily as they have less work to do.
There have been many people such as Shaquille O'Neal, David Robinson, Karl Malone, Michael Vick, Dave Draper and Arnold Schwarzenegger all started weightlifting in their early teens. At the age of 12, it is highly unlike you will be doing 90kg deadlifts or squats, let alone clean-and-press. Weightlifting is a very safe sport (check the statistics for sports-related injuries). At the same time, it is not really expected of children to lift weights - starting off with sprints and callisthenics/gymnastics is a good foundation for building strength.
Start off with callisthenics for a year - have a look at guys like Ross Enamait. He combines weights with callisthenics (bodyweight exercises); and he even wrote a few books on callisthenics-only workouts to build stamina, strength and power.
Then move on to light weights (e.g. 10kg-20kg) for another year. If you aim to lift your own bodyweight first, perhaps for the third year, for a year or so, then you're not likely to go wrong. Don't try to go too fast - serious weightlifters look at targets in terms of years rather than months or weeks. They stick with the same weight for 2-3 sessions, and add on 2kg-4kg at a time. Have a look at Pavel Tsatsouline's book "Beyond Bodybuilding" (it has a load of good information), eat well and also have a look at Brooks Kubik's Dinosaur Files (which are really motivational newsletters), and also his books "Dinosaur Training" and "Dinosaur Strength Training Notebook" which have a LOT of useful information on weightlifting and sample routines.
Always warm-up at the start - this gets your muscles loose so they won't snap under pressure. Try deadlifts, squats and bent-over rows - perhaps even good-mornings and barbell curls. Try clean and press - avoid the bench-press, because you can develop more injuries (including rotator-cuff injuries and also dropping the weight on your throat). With standing exercises you do not need any spotters (people to help you in case you fail). The exception may be when squatting, but you can generally drop the weights either in front or behind you.
These are generally safe compound exercises (except for the curls - which is an isolation exercise). Compound exercises are good for stimulating all-around body growth. Your workouts shouldn't last much longer than 45 minutes; perhaps 1 hour maximum including rest intervals between sets/time when you change plates for different exercises. Have rests of 3-5 minutes if lifting very heavy weights (ones that you can't do for more than 3-5 reps with good form). Also, try having at least a day's rest in between weightlifting days. You can also have callisthenics days in too. For instance:
Day 1: Weights
Day 2: Callisthenics + sprint at end
Day 3: rest
Day 4: rest
Day 5: Weights
Day 6: Callisthenics
Day 7: rest
Day 8: Weights
Day 9: Callisthenics + sprint at end
Day 10: rest
Day 11: rest
... and so on.
If you want more proof? Look at American Football school programs - are the jocks short? No. Not unless it's in their genes to be short. They tend to start serious weightlifting at 15. But like I said, people have done it much earlier and still grown to be taller than average. What about Olympic weightlifters? They start at a very young age - it's the only way to get ahead in any Olympic sport. They are not midgets.
What does it mean when your sore from weight training?
it means blood that is still trapped in your muscles has dried to the inside of them. always stretch well before and after working out to avoid soreness.
Where did bodybuilding come from?
Body building came from the ancient greeks! they beleived they were gods in them selves so they sculpted there bodies, just like there statues.
What are collars on bench press?
Collars slip over each end of the barbell and slide up next to the weight plates on the bar. They are then locked down so if the bar is tilted one way or the other the weights don't slide off the end of the bar.
Can under armour be used as a bench press shirt?
i recall reading something about this a couple years ago. a study found that wearing a compression top like under armour or the knock offs actually resulted in more reps on average per set. they specifically adressed it as it pertained to the flat bench press.
How much do you have to weight at age 13?

When lifting weights do muscle tissues form new cell to make the muscles larger?
No, muscles do not create new cells over time; they merely generate microscopic 'tears' in the muscle after strenuous activity then fill in the 'gaps' which makes the muscles longer instead of having more cells.

Your 13 years old 6 foot how do you gain muscle mass?
Muscle mass naturally increases in men throughout their teen years and well into their 20s and 30s. Many competition body builders are actually at their peak in their mid-30s. Men's metabolisms tend to change in their mid-20s, and men put on much more weight (and muscle) at that time. In a sense, then, your best strategy is to be patient and allow your body to develop at its own, natural pace. You can encourage muscle mass development by eating a well-balanced diet that includes lean protein, but as a growing teenager it is not advisable to do any kind of special "diet"--and avoid drugs, steroids, and any supplements other than routine vitamins. Exercise plays an important role: try out for sports in school, and participate in a sport each season. Do some weight lifting as well.
well, you can gain muscle, but there is a teensy problem. Your body is not yet mature enough to have most of the hormones people need to fill out. however, if you are really set on your goal, exercise, exercise exercise! lunges, squats, push ups and crunches all done correctly will all really enhance your muscle build and tone. As far as meals go, eat regularly, no HUGE portions, but it takes quite a bit of energy to grow muscles. Also, lots of protein such as eggs, steak, and milk will all do the trick. stay away from protein like hot dogs and fast food burgers because they contain way more bod products fro you body than good, muscle enhancing products. Also, no fried food.
Can the world's strongest man carry the worlds heaviest man?
i don't think so to be honest would he brake a bone
Best way to keep muscle gained with creatine with out taking it anymore?
the thing is creatine fills the muscle with water hydrating it so it can work better and thus swells, so after coming off creatine you wont actually loose muscle if you keep training and eating right but you will loose water out of your muscle and unfortunately they will slightly shrink.
How does lifting weights make muscles bigger?
when you lift weights you tear the tiny fibers that make up your muscle. your body responds to this by taking protein from the foods or supplements you take in and goes through a process called protein synthesis. Combining the protein molecules to the fibers helps grow the fibers bigger and stronger because your body figures it needs to adapt to the new stress, thus causing muscles to hardin and become stronger.
