I need tips on the best way to get pregnant.?

I am trying to conceive - unsuccessfully, and any advice or tips would help. I am 35 years old and quite healthy. I have one seventeen year old child so i know i am can fall pregnant. Please help, we are desperate to have a baby!

Solution

Stress can definitely inhibit pregnancy, as can alcohol, sleep deprivation, and caffein.

Best way to get prego is to trak your cycle and know your body. You want to try to have sex at least 4 or so days prior to ovulation, the day of ovulation, and a day or two after ovulation to increase sperm availability when the egg is dropped. Track your Basal Body Temp (BBT) on a chart. A basal thermometer is more detailed than a regular thermometer. For instance, a normal thermometer will track your temp at 98.6 while a BBT will track it at 98.64. What you’re looking for is a shift in temp by at least .40 degrees. When you see that shift, you’ve already ovulated.

You also want to track your cervical mucus (CM). You are usually dry right after your period with no CM. It starts to become creamy and thicker a few days prior to ovulation, and during ovulation, it increases in volume and becomes clear and sticky, much like egg whites. That’s your optimal time to have sex. have sex around ovulation (usually around 10 to 14 days after your period, not always though…for example I usually ovulate on DAY 17 that meant that it was better for me to have sex 14-17 days after my period) Find out when you ovulate. Find more infor on this at fertilityfriend.com

Lift your hips under pillow after intercourse to allow sperm to let gravity help the little swimmers!

Position is missionary. Woman on top lets sperm leak out easier, and is not the most productive way. Also, lay there for at least 15-20 min after intercourse to allow sperm to move up to the egg.

YOu may also want to use an ovulation predictor kit (OPK). It tells you that you are about to ovulate with in 12-36 hours.

Ask your hubby to wear boxers instead of briefs if he’s not already wearing them. (not confirmed, but i’ve heard this can help sperm)

Also, start taking prenatal vitamins and folic acid supplements now. In case you do get pregnant, you won’t know it for about 2-3 weeks, and the folic acid and vitamins are essential to development this early on.

**It takes the average woman anywhere from 6-9 months to conceive once they start trying for a baby. Don’t get frustrated. It takes time!

HOpe this helps! Baby blessings to you!

Pregnancy tips please?

I know it’s a very general question, but, does anyone have any tips for me? almost 2 months gone now, I’ve got alot of information but I’d love to hear what everyone has to say

Really, anything; about what to do, expect or anything during my pregnancy or after the pregnancy.

I’m having a beautiful half Japanese half British Caucasian baby! Very excited.

Solution

First of all, Congrats!

The only tip I guess i have is- enjoy every second of being pregnant…it gets hard towards the end..but you can look forward to the first time you feel your baby move, and the first time you get to see your partners face when he feels the baby move- it’s magical! Also,being able to see your little one on the scan- it all starts to become real then.

Don’t listen to any of the horror birth stories you hear, take everyone’s advice into consideration, but when it comes down to it- you know your body, you know your baby and everyone’s experiences are different- make your own experiences!

take photos of your growing belly- you’ll be amazed at the changes! and if your into it, keep a journal of different feelings or changes that are happening to your body- fascinating to read back over later on..

Congrats again!

Pregnancy Tips Please?

Me and My Girlfriend are trying for a baby, we thought she was as she has had a coupl of weeks of morning sickness and sickness during the day but we did the test and it sed no… any tips on how to get pregnant… ive searched all the internet sites and that but if she is due on her period say the 14-19th of april whens the best time she could fall pregnant?

Solution

It’s still very likely she is pregnant.

If she is due on the 14-19th, you probably conceived only 2 weeks ago which means it’s probably too early to tell.

Just wait until she’s due for her period and if it doesn’t come do a test.

And in regards to your ques, get a product called maybe baby - its chemists and it tests whether you are ovulating by a saliva test. easy.

they say it’s about 2 weeks before you get your period.

What are some tips to have a healthy pregnancy?

Solution

No drinking, no smoking, no drugs.

Don’t strain yourself but it’s fine to excercise.

Follow the do’s and dont’s of what you can or cannot eat.

Stay away from too much caffiene.

Get enough sleep.

If you are doing something and get too stressed or physically overwhelmed - take a break.

I would read around articles on www.babycenter.com it’s helped me a lot with both my pregnancies and raising my first child.

Tips for Rat Pregnancy?

Okay, my little girl is definately expecting some ratlets. The thing is that it has probably been about four years since I last bred any of my rats. Mommy and Daddy are both sweethearts-also have never shown any sign of illness. She is probably just under a year old. She has had some extremely minimal spotting for about a day and a half, and her little **** are becoming more noticeable. Obviously, she has a huge nest built up. She has been separated from her cagemates. Anyway, I’m a little rusty, so if anyone can offer me any tips or websites they found helpful during their ratty pregnancy, please send them in! If there are any questions I can answer to help you give more precise tips, ask and I’ll answer. Thanks!

Solution

ok… when she is giving birth, leave the room. i think they usually give birth at night.

Which pregnancy test is the best? How much do they usually run for?

Solution

anyone is fine. I like to get the ones that have 2test in them.. that way if it said negitive i could take another one the next week (if i still didnt get my period) or if it said positive take it the next day just to make sure.

I got mine for $12 for 2 of them and i found out 2x that i was pregos’!

it was called first answer or something like that. You dont need a really expensive one, unless you JUST missed your period by a day than the EPT test will detect the HCG level better. But thouse test go for like $25 rip of it you ask me!

i just found out and i’m 3-4weeks along!

good luck!

I need tips for acne in pregnancy?

I’m 8 weeks pregnant to my second child and im starting to get really sore, red acne all over my face. My skin was always so nice and nothing seems to be helping get rid of them? Is there anything I can use to help not get any more pimples? I’m also having trouble finding any energy to do ANYTHING. I’m so tired all the time and now I have headaches from sleeping too much. I never had with my first son and I feel so sick all the time? Is this normal?

Solution

Yup. My acne ALWAYS gets worse with pregnancy. It sucks. As if I don’t feel like a fat cow already, I have to have huge sore red acne all over my face. Lovely.

Ah well. Nothing really helped. Sometimes it gets better later during pregnancy. Just use antibacterial soap and wash gently twice a day. IT is safe and as effective as most acne washes. An it is guaranteed not to hurt the baby.

Best maternity insurance?

I was wondering what the best health insurance out there for maternity and child birth is? Right now I have pretty basic health insurance, as I am very healthy and don’t need to go to the doctor often, but once I get pregnant (we’re going to try in the next year or so) I plan on switching my insurance so that I’m paying the minimum out of pocket for all (or most of) those doctor’s visits and labs, etc. What is the best provider/what type of coverage should I be looking for? How much did it cost YOU to have a baby (the actual medical bills) and how much should I expect to pay each month for my premium?

Answer

We have Blue Cross Blue Sheild. My first pregnancy cost $387,000.00 because I was in the hospital for 99 days due to complicattons. It only cost us a $50.00 copay, out of pocket, and that’s only because I requested a private room.

Copays for sonograms and OB visits were $15.00. Scripts if needed are $7.00, $15.00, and $30.00 for medicine that is not generic, which is very rare.

Also, both of my girls are covered until age 18 will all doctor visits, no copays.

We pay $240 a month, but my husband gets it through his employer. I’m sure its more if you sign up for a plan individually.

They are the most wonderful plan when it comes to pregnancy. I am extremely high risk and have had 2 pregnancies under this plan, and 2 under another, and this one is in a class of its own.

Good luck!

Maternity Health Insurance?

This is probably a weird place to ask this, but having trouble finding an answer online. I have individual health insurance, and my plan will not cover a pregnancy if conception occurs before 6 months after I add the maternity coverage. I am not currently pregnant, however I would like to begin trying before 6 months from now. Does anyone know of a health care plan that you can add maternity coverage to, and not have a waiting period for conception? For instance, if I opted for extra coverage in October and became pregnant in Dec., could I be covered?

Answer

A lot of Insurances consider a pregnancy a ‘pre existing condition’ and will not cover you if you get pregnant within the first year of getting the Insurance Policy.

I suggest you look into several different policies.

We have Blue Cross PPO and I changed my plan in July and got pregnant in October, it was covered. Pregnancy is automatically covered in my plan, I didn’t have to ‘add’ Pregnancy; it’s part of Blue Cross coverage. Just make sure you have the Insurance for a full 30 days before you become pregnant.

Maybe you should switch to Blue Cross PPO or HMO.

What is the best company for Maternity Health insurance?

I’m not looking to go on medicaid, I don’t want to use taxpayers money if I can afford a reasonable individual health insurance plan. I am very early on in pregnancy and would like to know if anyone knows of a good plan with reasonable rates. I would appreciate it if you had details (plan names). We can afford a deductible of around $4000 or less.

Answer

You may want to try a website that compares multiple companies at once to get you the best price & maternity coverage. I am paying less than ½ after I did.

What are my best options for self-employed health insurance with maternity in Illinois?

I am leaving a well paid corporate job with great benefits to work for myself. I was recently married and my wife wants to have children soon. She does not have benefits through her job so I need to ensure we are covered well. What are some great options for affordable health coverage in Illinois that includes maternity and what’s the time frame before maternity coverage kicks in?

Answer

Maternity is very expensive on an individual policy. The wait is usually 1 year, meaning the pregnancy can’t begin until after a year has elapsed. Maternity is about $350 to $450 extra a month. But it is very worth it if there are any complications.

Probably BCBS is your best bet.

You can get a quote by going to www.bcbsil.com, just enter your zip and go from there.

You might consider a high deductible HSA plan too, but you would still need to add maternity to that plan.

I received this H1n1 virus update fwd email from my personal banker in India :

”
PLEASE GO THROUGH THIS
My dear Presidents,I agree with you that swine flu awareness is needed, but there is no need to be panicky and join the publicity propaganda carried out by media and others which acts as a vehicle to spread misconception than to spread scientific information.These are few facts about swine flu when discussed with the leading epidemiologists.

1) Swine flu, that is H1N1 flu is not new, first detected in 1987
2) Infective stage of flue is 5 days, 1 day before and 4 days after onset of symptoms. The best way to prevent it spreading is asking patient having symptoms of flu like fever cough and running nose to take rest at home for 4 days so he does not transmit it
3) Masks are of limited value if any, in this disease, it can spread through droplets on your skin, through contact etc, and I have seen that the masks in Pune are worn as fashion statement, while walking on road today morning I saw people wearing masks coming out for a morning walk with their dogs!, many wearing masks around their necks, and so on, infact these masks shall act as the vehicles to carry the virus, instead, avoiding crowded places or cinema halls or malls where airconditioners are on, is advisable, because you get recirculated air, where the virus density multiplies
4)Death after H1N1 flu is not common, infact infections like measles is taking toll of thousands more every year, and we are oblivious of the facts. Swine flu is being blown out of proportion by media trying to create hysteria among lay people.
5) Fever accompanied by respiratory distress, should be immediately notified which is likely to be a complication of H1N1 flu
6)The mortality is less than .01 percent of those affected, that means may be one in 10,000 affected is likely to suffer the life loss.
7) If you remember, 2 years ago SARS was blown out of proportion, what happened? Humans develop immunity to the virus, the same is going to happen, we develop immunity in due course of time, the virus is in the air, you can not stop it, our body is already developing the immunity so nothing to panic.

We need to take care of children and elderly who have less immunity and do not let them go to crowded places that is all . WE MUST START THIS CAMPAIGN OF NOT TO BE AFRAID OF THIS FLU AND LET YOUR DAILY WORK CONTINUE AS NORMAL, NO MASKS FOR ORDINARY CITIZENS, HEALTH CARE WORKERS OR SPECIFIC EXPOSED TO LOT OF CROWDED ENVIRONMENTS MAY BE BENEFITTED, NOT PROVEN.

I am amazed to hear that people are selling masks of RS 20 each which are available to less than Rupee 1 in the market.
See who is getting benefitted?

Please spread the scientific info, do not join the band wagon and stick to science, that should be the order of the day.

Which is the best emergency contraceptive pill available in india?

we have sex once a week and do not like to use condoms. i want to know the contraceptive pill in India which has no or very less side affects.

Answer

I’ve heard a lot about I-pill, however, it is an EMERGENCY contraceptive as you say and not to be used weekly. If you use it weekly it could cause hormonal complications in the female. It’s also far more expensive and far less effective than other forms of birth control.

See a doctor and ask about the normal, one-a-day birth control pill, not emergency contraceptive. If the girl takes one pill a day then you can have sex without condoms and not get pregnant.

Whats the best birth control pill and can u get preg on the birth control pill?

Answer

i got pregnant on the pill and used a condom neither one of them is 100% even if you are careful with them,i took my pills everyday and used a condom just in case but still got pregnant some how so yes there is still a chance but this is only if you are very fertile if your not you won’t get pregnant so easily and your chances of getting pregnant on the pill are low if you are fertile like i was your chances would be higher and the gyno would tell you that. If you miss the pill for one day the next day you should take 2 if you missed 3 days you need to take 3 pills doing after the 3rd day this will increase the power and you can be protected more so this way but only if you missed a day or more this is not to be done just for fun i wouldn’t recommend you take any form of birth control until you find out that you can have kids in the future cause birth control can mess up your body with their side effects it did to me and now my gyno doctor said she don’t know if i can have
 kids so think about it before you take them or if you already are start thinking about your future and ask your doctor lot of questions ask her to give you test to

Condom + Birth Control Pills = No Pregnancy?

If I am on birth control pills, and my bf uses condoms, and I do my part and take my pill at exactly the same time everyday, without missing one, what are the possibilities of pregnancy? I was reading online and I found that condoms & bc pills together are only 90 - 95% accurate, which is pretty good if you’re looking at the numbers, but when you say “you have a 5 - 10% chance of getting pregnant” its a little scarier…

I’m trusting that my boyfriend knows how to put a condom on right, but I’m doing everything in my part to take my pill at the same time.

Please don’t say “NONE” or “THERE IS ALWAYS A CHANCE”. I want numbers lol

Answer

The Combined Oral Contraceptive Pill (COCP), often referred to as the birth-control pill, or simply “the Pill”, is a combination of an estrogen (oestrogen) and a progestin (progestogen), taken by mouth to inhibit normal female fertility. The estrogens and progesterones present in the pill completely inhibit the chance of your ovaries to produce eggs for the sperms. Further you said your partner is using the barrier-precaution too so preventing sperms to enter either. Although 1 sperm can make a woman pregnant but this is not at all the case. Thing is that 1 sperm needs a reinforcement of atleast 2 lacs sperms to do its job according to the book Langman Embroyology of Medical Sciences. So you are 99% on the safe side. Infact you are 100% but i leave 1% for the fact someday you forget to take the precautions, otherwise you are completely safe.

Hope it Helped,

Where i can buy a contraceptive pills in japan?

location

pharmacy name

brand

Answer

The reduced availability of the contraceptive pill is the reason that Japan has a rather high level of abortions.

Unfortunately it is difficult for Japanese women to obtain the contraceptive pill.

Sad, so sad.

Edit: What’s with the thumbs down? Everything I have said is true. Perhaps you would like to read this article for more information. http://www.prochoiceforum.org.uk/comm13.…

To quote: ” The prevalence of abortion among Japanese women combined with their lack of support for the legalisation of oral contraceptives has perplexed many observers. Do Japanese women believe abortion is safer than oral contraceptives? A survey showed that about 60% of women who were about to have abortions rejected the idea of taking the Pill for fear of ‘negative side-effects’.”

Yaz birth control pills?

I have been on Yasmin birth control pills for a long time now, and before that, was on other birth control pills. I always took pills for 3 weeks, and then in the fourth week (my period week) didn’t take them of course, or just took the non hormone pills. Well, I started Yaz because they have lower estrogen levels and are better for you in general, and I just noticed tonight that you take 3 extra hormone pills? There are 24 hormone pills, and only 4 “sugar” pills. I don’t get this. Should I just take 3 weeks worth like I have pretty much all my life? Or should I take the 24? I am not sure what to do or what to expect. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks! :o)

Answer

Take the pills exactly as they are prescribed, take 24 active pills and then take the 4 sugar pills. Your period will probably start on the 3-4th sugar pill and you will still be having your period when you start he active pills again. Yaz just is set up different from what you are used to but you should take all of the pills every month.

For got to take birth control pill at time i was suppose to. What do i do?

I usually take the pill between 915-930 today i for got took it at almost 11. Do i or am i suppose to do something?

Answer

If you forget to take a birth control pill, take it as soon as you remember. If you don’t remember until the next day, go ahead and take 2 pills that day. If you forget to take your pills for 2 days, take 2 pills the day you remember and 2 pills the next day. You will then be back on schedule. If you miss more than 2 birth control pills, call your health care provider for instructions. Those instructions may be to take one pill daily until Sunday and then start a new pack or to discard the rest of the pill pack and start over with a new pack that same day.

Any time you forget to take a pill, you must use another form of birth control until you finish the pill pack. When you forget to take a birth control pill, you increase the chance of releasing an egg from your ovary. However, if you forget to take any of the last 7 out of the 28 day pills you will not raise your chance of pregnancy since these pills contain only inactive ingredients. If you miss your period and have forgotten to take one or more pills, get a pregnancy test. If you miss two periods while taking the cyclic birth control pills (those that have the “inactive” pills at the end of the pill pack) even though you have taken all your pills on schedule, you should get a pregnancy test.

What is the absolute best way to prevent pregnancy during intercourse WITH A CONDOM?

What is the absolute best way to prevent pregnancy. Can someone please evaluate the chances of getting pregnant if the following are used:

1. Male condoms with spermicide (just incase)

2. Pull out before ejecuation

3. Birth control pills for 28 days (is this even necessary)

Please evaluate…or comment on how it can be improved…(or too much)

Answer

Chances of pregnancy is none if you are practising the three steps above together, no further enhacement is required; these three steps together is too much (as you said). If not broken during action condom is the best, with it pull out is not required, tabs creates hormone troubles to many, hence stick to the first option

Best way to prevent pregnancy when you want to make love?

What is the best way to prevent chances of being pregnant when you want to make love?

lets say

1.cleaning penis before wearing condom and wait for it to dry before putting condom on

2.using condom with spermicide(read something about this and it said spermicide irritates vagina and increases chances of breakage, so i shouldnt use condom with spermicide)

3. using lube to decrease chances of breakage

4. pulling out before ejaculation

what if i use all these steps. what are the chances?

THE ONLY chance of getting pregnant when using a condom is the condom breaking or slipping off right? thats what makes the 98%?

Answer

1) Use a condom. Every time.

2) She should be on the pill.

This gets rid of 98% of the chances of her getting pregnant… the 2% uncertainty comes from human error… just be careful.

What is the best way to prevent pregnancy after having sex? Today is the 5th day after having sex with my boyfriend. Is there any medicines (asides from pills, because pills will only prevent pregnancy if you take it right after having sex) that will prevent pregnancy???

Answer

It’s pretty much too late to do the morning after pill. All you can really do now is hope that you aren’t pregnant. In a few more days, go get a pregnancy test. If you’re pregnant, go see your doctor to discuss your options. If you’re not, thank whatever you believe in and promise yourself to be more careful in future. At least use a barrier method like condoms. What I do to be extra safe is I’m on the pill AND I use condoms. Your future is at risk here. You have to stay smart. Good luck, and I’ll be sending good thoughts your way!

Is there any side effects from taking whey protein isolate?

I do not have diabetes but will taking whey protein damage my liver or my pancreas? Will it spike insulin levels or cause blood sugar problems. I understand that a big mac hamburger contains 30 grams of protein and so does a serving of whey so Im not concerned about any kidney damage. I just want a extra boost in energy is it safe>or is it even going to give me Extra Fuel i need?

Answer

There are side effects.

Firstly, large amounts of protein make blood more acidic. To neutralize the blood, calcium is drawn from the bones. Also, production of free radicals increases, so you should counter it with a lot of antioxidants .

Secondly, (this is not common knowledge, see Dr. Russel Blaylock’s books and website) any protein isolate contains exitotoxins similar to MSG that increase level of free glutamate in the body. Glutamate cause neurons to be super exited, and then die (very simplified explanation) The effect can be as devastating as Alzheimer’s in the far future or some health issues here in there in the near future - depending on what is the weak spot in your body. One person can get depressed for example, nothing would happen to another. So please use protein isolates with caution.

If you need energy boost, consider complex carbs (nuts/seeds/grains), they do not cause insulin spike because sugar gets into the blood gradually. And they contain plant protein. Almonds, for example, have a plethora of health benefits, and 21% of weight is protein. You may also consider using superfoods like maca , ginseng etc.

Hope this helps

What are the side effects of whey protein, if any at all?

I’ve been told its just protein, but I guess I look at it as a supplement and I get a little suspicious with supplements. I’ve also heard different things from different people so not really sure what to believe I guess. So, is there any side effects of whey protein? Any health risks, effects on penis size, etc? I did hear it can cause kidney problems if you take too much, but how much is too much? Thanks in advance.

Answer

No, you won’t get any serious side effects with whey protein. Actually, you won’t really get any, besides bulking up easier… About the kidney thing.. well it’s true that if you take more than like 60g at one time it could possible negatively effect your liver by overloading it, but as long as you take it in moderation (I never said don’t take 60g, I said don’t take a whole lot more..) you’ll be perfectly fine and very satisfied.

Side effects of whey protein?

Are there any short or long term side effects from taking whey protein?

Answer

Whey protein, are just that, protein - unlike some other types of supplements and drugs, whey protein supplements contain mostly whey and some other stuff like carbohydrates, calcium, some fats, and some fancy shimancy ingredients which really aren’t that special. So in other words, you can expect very little, if any side effects of taking whey protein supplements. Other than maybe gaining some lean mass, which is what you want. Also, there have been no documented side effects of whey protein, it’s just like the food you eat, causing no side effects.

Whey Protein - Any Side Effects? How long till it works?

I recently started using Whey Protein as a suplement for my workout plan. I use 1 scoop with milk in the morning and 1 scoop with water after my workout. How long before I start seeing any results? I’m pretty sure I can see a result after a week or so, but maybe it’s my imagination? =) (I got a pretty hectic workout plan, but it’s to be more firm, not for bulking up). Also, are there any side effects? I heard that it clogs, can mess up your kidneys etc. But as I can figure thats only if you over do it is a myth. I use bout 50 grams per day.

Thanks =)

Answer

Reading some of these answers is very comical. I don’t know why people post when they have no idea what they are talking about. Myth: Protein builds muscle. The fact is amino acids are responsible for muscle repair, it is true amino acids derive from protein, but certain types of protein contain different amino acids, so you cannot generalize protein. Myth: Protein damages kidneys. The truth is protein molecules are too large to be filtered through the kidneys, they are transported from the small intestine to the liver, where the liver decides to absorb them or send them on their way to be used elsewhere.

Let me help you out.

Taking protein will help increase muscle strength/mass. It is one of the few supplements that has been proven to work. Whey protein is a faster digesting protein, so I recommend taking it right after you work out. This get the amino acids into the blood stream and available for the muscles to grab. Casein is another type of protein powder you will commonly see. This is a slow digesting protein, so its going to give your body amino acids over a longer period of time. I would take casein protein right before bed or first thing in the morning. Milk has alot of casein protein and I like the fact that you mix whey(fast digesting) and milk in the morning. Of course, you have to eat a balanced diet, protein alone cannot build muscle. As far as i can tell you have a solid protein schedule and you should stick to it. Feel free to email me if you have any further questions. I enjoy answering questions in my field of research.

Whey protein for a sixteen year old???

hi there

i am 16 years of age and am 5 ft 5 iches tall,weighing 55 kilograms. I’m pretty lean and till recently had virtually no muscle on me.But over the last month I’ve been doing a hundred pushups a day, along with pull ups,squats,and crunches and have noticed that my body is getting toned.But now I need some mass in my body. Thing is,I am a vegetarian and hence my diet is limited.Also, I don’t do weights,coz I don’t want my height to get affected.I want to grow to around 5 ft 10 inches at least by the time I’m done with my growth.Now my question is…should I start using whey protein and continue my workout? Will it help me get more muscled? And does whey protein have any side effects like the dehydrating characteristics of Creatine? In short, can i start using whey protein soon along with a good workout? Will it help me get a better body? Thanks for your help.

Answer

Vegatarian?! enough with the nonsense!

If you want to grow then eat grain-fed lean meats like chicken and turkey. Also Beef and lamb are very high in protein. Eggs and fish are an excellent source of protein as well.

Stay away from Soy products as its an incomplete protein and your body does not digest the enzymes effeciently.

Whey will help. Take it AFTER your workouts. There will be no side effects to Creatine unless you are depriving your body of water. Thus you must drink more often than usual.

As for your workouts, you need to stress the muscles differently. Work out with weights (i.e. dumbells, barbells) and keep the reps down, anywhere from 5-10 reps per set for any given exercise. You will gain more muscle mass with low rep, high stress workouts.

There are no studies that confirm any side-effects that you mentioned.

As for ?llison response:

Soy protein IS an INCOMPLETE protein! They lack the sulphur bearing amino acids methionine and cysteine. The high-phytic acid in unfermented and processed soy (found in nearly all soy products) disrupts mineral absorption and can deplete your supply of zinc, magnesium, and calcium.

There is a reason why professional bodybuilders eat animal protein. Hormone injected animal products are obviously not good for several reasons that is why I suggested grain-fed, hormone-free meats.

Answer

Theres no such thing as the best one.

Technically the one with the best protein/carb - total product weight ratio would be the best, however at the beggining if you want to gain weight, I recommend the most cost effective one (best protein/carb - price ratio).

I use EAS which is top shelf, but it costs an arm and a leg.

Who sells the best 100% Whey Protein?

I am looking for a great product which can create lean muscle gain, tastes great and reduces fat. I have heard from friends and doctors that I do not have to spend a fortune either. Any suggestions?

Answer

Whey Protein is ideal for weightlifters, endurance athletes, and people who want to build muscle, because it is a fast-digesting protein that the body uses quickly to build and repair muscle. You’ll want to make sure you’re giving your body the protein it needs to build and rebuild lean muscle tissue. You also need antioxidant protection from harmful free radicals generated by intense and prolonged exercise.

Whey protein helps your body immediately build and rebuild muscle after exercise, while plant-derived digestive enzymes help your body process protein more efficiently. Nutrilite Whey Protein Powder comes in convenient, portable pouches with 25 g of whey protein in each serving.

Nutrilite Protein Shakes help you maintain lean body mass, with 25 grams of satiating protein your body uses to build and rebuild muscle tissue. You’ll also get antioxidant protection from harmful free radicals generated by intense and prolonged exercise, thanks to the exclusive Nutrilite C-Lenium Blend.

Nutrilite Protein Shakes have more protein than the competition, giving you more muscle-building power. Calories are equal to or lower than competitors, plus Nutrilite is the only shake here with no sugar, and no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. The fiber in Nutrilite Protein Shakes is comparable to Myoplex™ Lite, and far exceeds the fiber in CytoSport™ Muscle Milk™. If you’re watching carbs, Nutrilite Protein Shakes have the competition beat there as well. Power up with the right protein shake – made by Nutrilite.

You’ll love the creamy, chocolate fudge, decadent vanilla, and the sweet taste of strawberries and cream and feel confident that what you’re putting into your body contains no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives.

I hope this is helpful.

How many push ups is best for building chest muscle?

now, ive heard of all these ‘jocks’ who always brag on their websites about how they can do 200000 push ups and now they look like hulk hogan or whatever (steroids is probably more truthful) but keeping reps within the 6-10 rep range is meant to help more for building mass. does this apply to push ups too or should a more extensive amount be reached. Any help, much appreciated

Answer

6-10 pushups isn’t going to do anything. The 6-10 reps for muscle building thing is only relevant if you are working with around 60-90% of your MAX lift potential. If you are doing something extremely easy (like pushups), then you’re going to want to do as many as possible, every set. And when that becomes easy, do them with your legs elevated (put your feet up on a bench). But seriously, if you’re trying to actually build muscle, start bench-pressing. Push-ups and other bodyweight lifting exercises are only really good for toning/endurance.

Chest muscle building?

Does it take a while? I’m asking because a dented chest (known as pectus excavatum) and I heard building chest muscle hides it (don’t want surgery or plastic surgery). Everytime I go to the pool or beach people stare at it like im an alien and it gets old. I will be doing a lot of push ups but I won’t be doing flys because I don’t have a flat bench. (how much should I do) and I have Whey Protein to help. Also should I work out every day or every other day. Thanks for the help =)!

Answer

Myself and my brother have this feature. Though, the good thing is, if you choose to build up your chest muscles, you get a better seperation of pectorial muscles - and that looks good!

Try choosing a physical job that involves you using the chest. I used to push trolleys (shopping carts) for 5 years when I was younger. The weight would depend on how many were being pushed (20-30 at a time) - I would then use and focus on using my chest muscles.

Optionally try push ups or using placing both hands together in a prayer position in front of your mid torso region and push both arms together with force and at the same time moving your arms away from you and then back towards your chest. This is a great excersise to execute in chest development.

If i stop building chest muscle and lifting weights will my chest begin to look flabby and fat : / ?

i havent built a ton of muscle in my chest, i bench like 170 max, but i usually just do alot of reps

but anyway im pretty skinny

and if i were to stop bench pressing, will my chest loose muscle and begin to look fat? or will my chest just look normal and skinny without muscle?

Answer

that depends on your body type.

Ectomorphic: characterized by long and thin muscles/limbs and low fat storage; usually referred to as slim.

Mesomorphic: characterized by large bones, solid torso, low fat levels, wide shoulders with a narrow waist.

Endomorphic: characterized by increased fat storage, a wide waist and a large bone structure.

Mesomorphic people gain muscle when they gain weight, and are

altogether “meaty”. Ectomorphic are the people who eat a lot and never

gain weight, and endomorphic people gain all their weight in form of

fat.

The three body type descriptions could be modulated by body

composition, which can be altered by specific diets and training

techniques. In a famine a person who was once considered an endomorph may begin to instead resemble an ectomorph, while an athletic mesomorph may begin to look more like an endomorph as he ages and loses muscle mass. However, some aspects of the body type cannot be changed: muscle and adipose mass may change but the bone structure is a fixed characteristic.

If you are a mesomorp, you will stay the same, more or less. If any of the two others - you will change for the worse, especially endomorp - all mucsle will turn into flab and fat!

Chest muscle building questions- how do i build a bigger more tone chest?

im about 17 years old and ive been working out for about a year.

since i dont have a bench at home i cant do most dummbell/barbell workouts. so i improvise with a swiss ball with my dumbells.

ever since a few weeks ago, i havent felt any burn in my chest anymore. to me, my chest feels like its getting smaller and i work it out at least 3 times a week. i think ive hit a plteau but i need a way to increase my workout

this is my example work out:

dumbell press on swiss ballx4 reps: 15×12x12×10 in between each set- incline push upx20

dumbel fly on swiss ballx4 reps: 15×12x10×10 or 8

in betwwen each set- wide pushupx20 or 15

machine chest fly- 20×15x12 or 10 with chest press after each set 20×15x12×10

then after that 3×20 pushups

is it a good idea to use heavy dumbells on a swiss ball for building chest?

and also, if i can bench about 175 lbs…how heavy should my dumbells be for dumbell chest press and chest dumbell fly?

please list any advice/or workouts since i need some new 1s :/

especially for lower and upper chest.

Building Chest Muscle?

okay,my arms are great,so now i want to build my chest.

all i want to know is how long it will take to see some decent changes.on average i guess.

Answer

Bench press is the most effective to build chest muscle , incline bench press will build your upper chest muscle and declind bench press will build your lower chest muscle ( the yummy line that distinguish between the chest and the stomach region ) Do dips too , it works on both your tri-ceps and your lower chest ( more on the outer sides ) , dumbell fly can also aid great help. The most important thing is to hit your chest muscle at various angles , dont forget to add weight up when you get used to a certain amount of weights. Do heavy sets to build up your strength and muscle fast, if you wanna look lean and defined, do more reps.

If you are persistant , and also strict on diet, I’d say after 3 months , you will see a change . The best thing to observe is take a picture of yourself now , and then compare it to the new ones taken every month , you will see. But be patient hey!

Good luck working out.

Chest Muscle (Pec) Building - No Weights?

What are some good exercises or workout routines that I can do at home? I don’t have any benches or any thing like that, just one 15lb dumbbell. Thanks.

Answer

Push-ups are sufficient to build up your chest. Try varying your hand spacing to get as much of the pec muscles to work. for example do three sets to fatigue. 1st set normal shoulder width hand spacing. 2nd set -close- with your hands touching where your thumbs and index fingers make a diamond shape. Your chest should touch the center of the diamond with your push-up. and a 3rd set with your hands far apart…wider than shoulder width.

You can increase the resistance as well as get an “incline bench press” type of work out by elevating your feet above your shoulders. For example put your feet up on a bench or chair wile you perform the varying width push ups.

By doing pushups, are u just building chest muscles. or do u lose fat also. is it the same with situps?

Answer

Push-ups build muscle. Muscle burns fat –8 time more than other tissue. So, if you do push-ups, you are both building muscle and giving yourself an opportunity to burn calories 24 hours a day. The same applies to sit-ups.

Here is some suggestions on chest

Best Chest Exercise

A well defined and developed chest is the dream of most men (and woman) . To achieve a well defined and balanced chest you must incorporate several chest building exercises. Your chest building exercise workout must have different exercises from different angles to develop all the parts for your chest. Developing strong triceps and Deltoids also will help develop a well balanced chest.

To get the best results you need to do 6-10 reps of each exercise. Choose a weight that you can do up to 10 for three sets. Once you can do 10 then move to a higher weight for maximal results. You can build up your chest muscles by doing chest presses on a n incline bench, a flat bench, or a decline bench. These exercises angles will target your upper, middle, and lower pectoral muscles, respectively.

Barbell Overhead Pull

Dumbbell Fly (Chest Building Exercise)

Lie supine on bench, step or floor, abs tight and lower back flattened on the bench. Start with weights directly over chest, palms facing each other, elbows slightly bent. Lower weights out to sides, stopping at shoulder level, then bring weights back up over chest. Think of hugging a tree.

Bench press (upper chest exercise) (lower chest exercise)

(flat)Lie supine on bench, step or floor, abs tight and lower back flattened on bench. Start with weights directly over chest, elbows at 90 degree angles. Press arms straight up without locking, then lower back to starting position.

Dumbell Bench Press

Incline Bench Press

Incline dumbbell press

Decline bench Press

Bent Arm pullover

Decline dumbbell bench press

Pec deck exercise

cable crossovers

Pushups

Get into pushup position, with your weight evenly distributed between your toes and your hands — and your legs, hips and back in a straight line — and lower and raise your body by bending your elbows, making sure that your arm angle is 90° at the bottom of the movement. Pushups is one of the best chest exercise.

Dips (lower chest exercise)

Hold yourself up on a dip bar and, making sure to keep your head down and your legs straight beneath you, lower yourself by bending your elbows, and come back up to the starting position. Make sure to keep the movement in your chest and not in your triceps, as you are working the former.
