What planet would be easiest to lift weights on?

If you still consider Pluto a planet as I do, that would be the place for you to work out. Being the farthest from the sun causes it to have little gravity. It's just 7 percent of our gravity, if you weighed 100 kg on Earth you would weigh 7 kg on Pluto.

Does an increase in muscle mass increase your metabolism?

Yes, an increase in muscle mass usually does mean that your metabolism will be higher--if you remain lean without starving yourself. Consider Sumo Wrestlers who have quite a bit of lean body weight but they also have a lot of adipose tissue as well (fat). In that case I don't think their metabolism is significantly higher.

I always try to keep in mind that my muscles ARE my metabolism.

What is a good cure for injured elbow caused by weight lifting?

Elbow injuries while weight-lifting usually occur if you hyper-extend your elbow during dumbbell reps. Hyper-extension of the elbow is when you stretch your elbow joint beyond it's normal range of motion (Eg, moving your elbow all the way down on a dumbbell curl).

To counteract it, just bend your elbows inward slightly while lifting.

After you've already sustained an elbow injury, rest it for a few days before you weight train again.

How many calories do you burn lifting 8 lb dumbbells?

Depends on how many times you lift it. Once doesn't use up enough to matter either way.

You'd have to keep going, continuously, for the better part of an hour to achieve anything.

Weight loss and calorie burn through exercise is mainly about getting and keeping your heart rate up.

And pretty much all kinds of consistent activites, like running, bicycling, swimming, dancing etc etc does a better job of keeping your heart rate up than lifting weights does.

If you can lift weights at a high enough intensity and long enough to match the pulse rate and duration of a run, they you'll burn the same amount of calories.

But odds are you can't.

I can do around 1000 cal/hour during intense cardio, but find it really difficult to get past 600 while doing weight training.

Keep in mind that the big thing is your diet. If you are overeating it's pretty much impossible to exercise hard enough to lose anything that way.

A snack that takes 5 minutes to eat, like a cupcake, can take one hour to burn off.

Does drinking coffee and lifting weights affect your growth?

Drinking Coffee: No. Urban legend, my friend. Caffeine may not be the best thing to be pumping into your body, but it does NOT effect your growth. Caffeine mimics hormones that are released from the adrenal gland. If caffeine mimicked somatotropin, a hormone which is responsible for growth, that would be different. But it doesn't. So no worries.

Lifting weights: Err, indirectly, weight lifting can affect your growth, but ONLY in a good way! Lifting weights not only strengthens your muscles, it also strengthens your bones by increasing bone density. I wish more young teenagers would weight train. It helps prevent osteoporosis later in life; especially in women.
