How do I learn weight lifting without injuring myself?
To learn weight lifting without injuring yourself you will need to start slowing in the beginning. Do not attempt to much weight to begin with and slowly add more.
What are the weights that weight lifters lift?
You've probably heard the term "pumping iron." Well, the weight plates themselves really are usually iron. The bars are usually steel, and the best ones are tempered steel. It's possible to increase strength lifting other objects such as stones or plastic weight plates filled with water or concrete. However, iron weight plates are the most convenient.

How fast can a bodybuilder run?
Some run slow, some don't run at all, & some run really fast. I know some bodybuilders and they run extremely fast. they all run the forty meter dash in 4.6 sec and better. They run a 5.13 minute mile.
Yes. Never use momentum. It is not necessary to move super slowly, but, if you want to avoid injuries and improve your results, never use momentum. Maintain complete control at all times.
What a reason why it may be advantageous to have a shorter forearm when lifting a heavy weight?
The only reason I can think of that would explain shorter forearms would give a weight lifter an advantage would be a shorter range of motion. Someone with shorter arms wouldn't have to push weight as far to reach lockout as someone who has longer arms. At the same time, longer arms could prove useful in allowing for greater leverage or momentum. Either way, the only real advantage I would be able to see would be that someone with shorter arms would have less distance to move the weight. Thank You really much!!
If you lift weights and you impress girls does this mean they like you?

Cubic centimetres is a unit of volume, milligrams is a unit of mass
I am 205 and can bench in the mid 300lbs range. If you want to lift a lot you must train with a lot. 5 or 6 sets of 6 and less. And a crap load of protein is also a key factor. I went from 225 to 305 in 5 mths.

What is the duration of weight training?
In order to build muscle mass you should train for up to and no more than 45 minutes at a time, otherwise you are doing edurance training rather than building muscle. Try training upper body one day, have the next day off, then the day after tdo your lower body. This way your body has time to recover from the workout, and you train your whole body evenly. hope this helped =)

Is a third set beneficial in weightlifting?
It depends upon the intensity of the first two sets. At least in theory, if they are sufficiently intense, a third set is neither necessary nor beneficial. However, experiment and see what works best for you.

The pressure on their bone, center of mass and balance , the amount of energy they burn.
How do you build a leg press machine for weightlifting?
Instead of trying to build one, if you want a leg press machine watch for a gym to close down for a chance to purchase a used one or keep an eye on classified ads in local newspapers or online. It would probably cost more to build a proper one than to buy a new one. A leg press machine is not necessary for a home gym. Instead of leg presses, concentrate on squats. If you master squats, you will not need to bother with leg presses, which are less effective than squats. Use different kinds of squats such as box squats.
Do I lift too much I'm 15 yr my max for benching is 185 and deadlift 170 and squat 160?
Your chest is stronger than your legs... it seems a little imbalanced. You may want to focus on legs a little more as your quads and hamstrings contain double the muscle mass of your chest (or at least they should).
P.S. At fifteen I was more interested in chasing girls not hanging out with dudes in the gym. They care not what you bench.
Do rest days help your overall workouts and fat burning?
Yes, they do. Think of it this way: you do not grow muscle in the gym. What you do in the gym should stimulate muscle growth outside the gym, which means that recovery is as important as exercise.
Exercise is like medicine: too little is not effective and too much is counter-productive. In both, it's important to get enough without getting too much.
It's best to do both cardio and weight (strength) training for fat loss. Cardio will burn extra energy during and immediately after your walks. Weight training will build muscle, which is your metabolic furnace that will burn calories 24 hours a day.
It is not necessary to do intense cardio (such as running) for fat loss. The best cardio is mild exercise such as brisk walking. It is sustainable and it will not interfere with proper strength training.
An excellent program is to go for a brisk walk six days of the week. The best time to walk is before your first meal of the day. Walking two miles will retard additional fat gain, while walking 3 to 6 miles on average will help you lose fat. "Brisk" means walking at a 4 mph pace. If you have not been walking, build up to that very slowly. You need not do all your daily walking in one session.
It's only necessary to do proper weight training for about 45 minutes every 4 or 5 days. (Do a whole body routine. Focus on the major, compound exercises, which are full squats, deadlifts, presses, rows, dips, and chins. Learn proper exercise technique and do it on every rep.)
So doing mild cardio such as brisk walking is fine with one rest day per week. Doing proper strength training is fine with only one workout every 4 or 5 days.
So both have rest days, and, together, they will greatly accelerate your fat loss. You can use this sustainable program until your dotage. If you have not been doing the weight training, you will find that, unlike cardio, which can be boring, it's actually fun. If you adopt and sustain this program, you will love your results. Train in good health! (Before significantly changing your exercise habits, you may first wish to obtain the blessing of your physician.) ----
