Weightlifting

Strength is the foundation of speed and power. If you do not have that base of strength, it is going to slow you down as you will have trouble just moving your bodyweight. For some athletes, just increasing their limit strength is going to benefit their speed. Higher level athletes not quite as much. I think you make a good point Methodman that some coaches over-focus on limit strength. Taking an athlete from a 400lb back squat to a 500lb back squat may not be what the athlete needs to get faster. Taking another athlete from a 100lb back squat to a 200lb back may be just what the athlete needs on the other hand. There is a point of deminishing returns when it comes to increasing limit strength as it relates to speed.

It's ultimately destructive for all men

Well it's a crime pretty much anywhere. The punishments can range from getting yelled at by the store owner and possibly banned from a store all the way to a felony conviction on your record and state prison time. One big factor is how much you stole (the value). Say you walked into walmart in Massachusetts and stole a shirt that was worth $10 and they caught you and pressed charges. The worst you could get is a $250.00 fine and mark on your record if you were a first time offender of pretty theft. But let's say you stole a $300.00 ring then you could be charged with grand theft (In MA) then they could give you a max of 2 1/2 years in county jail and a $1,000.00 fine. BUT let's say you stole 100 of those rings = $30,000.00 then you would likely face grand larceny charges that could you up in state prison for 5 years and a fine of $25,000. Of course the punishment is up to a court of law regardless of how much you stole, probably the worst punishment for shoplifters is it goes on there record

Dumbbell shrugs, or if you simply aren't interested in the shrug aspect, upright rows are also a great way to build the muscle group targeted by shrugs (traps, shoulders, etc)

700 pounds just to educate, this 700 pound bench press was a wide-grip, shallow-range, assisted bench press with no official judges witnessing it. It is a popular number for Larry Allen fans to throw around, but the truth is it's not legitemate. A more realistic number for big Larry to bench press with decent form and no 'spotters' helping to move the weight would be 550-600 pounds. I would have a hard time believing that he could do 650 on his own, let alone 700.

Because they run a lot and have heart to do it

gynecomastia could be a side effect...i have seen several users of this supplement stop usage and present with gynecomastia (male breast tissue growth)

Do pushups (with extra weights, for example use a rucksack), situps and do some outside chores (even showeling snow is a great way to train your back). Also, go jogging and stretch afterwards

this means your not breathing properly while working out, which means oxygen isn't getting to your brain, this could cause a headache or even cause you to pass out

300

It all depends on how much you weigh. The ratio between how much you bench and how much you weigh is the most important aspect. If you weigh 120 and bench 185 its fantastic because your benching 1 1/2 times your weight. Anything over your own body weight is impressive.

If done correctly, the bench press will not stunt your growth. However, performing the exercise using poor form or too much weight can result in injury that can limit vertical growth.

No it is not although it works almost the same muscles. Bench press is when you are on the bench laying on your back and lifting the weight. Chest press is when you sit on the bench and push the weight forward while your arms are parallel to your chest at a 90 degree angle from your elbows.

The term back lift is a word used by cricket players. This is used when a cricket player lifts his bat when he is going to hit the ball.

When I was in my late teens I was very much into powerlifting and bodybuilding. My coaches stressed to me that to build muscle you need to lift heavy weight with low reps (4-6 reps) and to tone your muscles (shape them) you need to lift lighter weight with high reps (10-12 reps). So, I would train each body part twice per week (once heavy then once light). I got great results using this formula as it helped me get stronger and well defined.

DOMS varies among different people. For some people, after doing exercises they're not used to, they can be sore for nearly a week. For most, 3 days is about the max. Don't be concerned unless soreness persists, and you should eventually be able to distinguish between soreness and injury.

Mesomorphs are people who are sturdy and strong and their bones and muscles are highly developed. You could call these people highly exercised men and women.

I would say 17 or so before getting serious about training.

A weight bar is used to hold circular weights during weight lifting. They can also be used by themselves for balance and support during weight training.

You probably have a very high metabolism which makes it hard to gain weight. I would slowly start to rasie your calories are start a weight training program. Make sure you are eating quality foods, and not just going out to fast food everyday to gain.
