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.

What are the best chest building excersizes for women?

Answer

You need ones that lift. Incline bench press and flys. Incline targets the upper chest, lifting the chest up and out.

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.

What are the best workouts for the chest?

im bench pressing but to flatten out the fat on my chest and build muscle what other techniques can i use that will help..

Answer

Start doing cardio for 15 minutes chest exercises for 30 and cardio for 15 minutes.

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.

How to tone flabby underarms without building biceps?

Hi, i am a mother of my 8 month old baby, i put on 60Ibs during my pregnancy and lost 50Ibs so far, I wanna tone my flabby arms but i do not have the luxury to go work out or jog or do any other sports as I take care of her fully. I wonder if u guys have any good home exercise to tone flabby underarms without building biceps muscles as my biceps look develop with all the baby carrying.. thanks a ton!

Answer

First off, don’t worry about building big, bulky muscles, that won’t happen. Building muscle is a lot harder than most people think.

Toning is somewhat of a misnomer, muscles are already “toned”, it’s the bodyfat covering the muscle that has to be removed in order for you to see the muscle. The best results for burning bodyfat has been shown time and again to be a combination of proper diet, strength training and cardio.

Another big myth out there is the “low weight, high reps” for toning. Doing lots of reps with really low weight won’t do anything except maybe burn a few extra calories. In order to build any lean muscle you have to put a load on the muscle. Don’t worry about getting big muscles, that’s nearly impossible for women to do even after years of targeted training and diet - women just don’t have the testosterone levels necessary to build big muscles.

If you don’t have access to a gym there are a number of bodyweight and home exercises you can do. Strength training has to be progressive in order to be successful, meaning every time increasing strength and/or repetitions. Try to keep reps below 15. You can do pushups or modified pushups at varying angles, situps, pullups or assisted pullups (use a chair to prop your feet up on or have someone hold your feet - pullups are difficult to do), one legged squats, you can use soup cans, or better yet buy a set of dumbells and use those to do curls, tricep extensions, shoulder exercises, back and chest exercises. Again, you won’t get big muscles by doing these, muscle is a lot more dense than bodyfat and won’t look big, and that’ll be the only way to firm up the triceps (underarms) along with reducing the bodyfat.

For cardio, can you get your hands on one of those big-wheeled strollers? I see people out with their young kids all the time. If that can’t work, purchase some workout dvds and use those at home, that’s certainly better than nothing. Get a jump rope and use it sometimes (that’a great cardio workout).

Unfortunately, bodyfat cannot be spot reduced, it is burned over all the body uniformely.

Building Biceps without any nerve visible on my biceps?

Hey!

MY PROBLEM:

Anyone experienced please help me out I wanna know that how can I build my biceps and triceps so that my nerves/veins may not be visible on my biceps and fore arms except triceps nerve/cut that comes.

SELF-DESCRIPTION:

Age——–18

Height—–5′7 Foot Exactly

Weight—-60 Kg

Waist——31 Inches

Biceps—–11 Inches

Please professional or experienced help required on the questions below-

MY MAIN QUESTIONS ARE:

Q1.)How to do Biceps workout (name that workout or exercise)?

Q2.)How many sets and reps. per day/alternate days of the specified workout?

Q3.)What diet should I take?

Q4.)Which supplements will you suggest me? and when it should be take before or after workout?

Answer

Generally speaking the reason for your Vascularity and deep cuts has to do with body fat percentage. the less body fat you have the more visible veins and muscular definition. So it’s a little bit of give and take the leaner you get the more cut you get but also more vascular so you choose as for the questions.

Push ups- Building bicep?

Whats the Best Bicep Workout? Building Mass?

whats the best workout to do, or even the best couple excerises (in order) that you can do with your biceps to build mass?

Answer

I agree with the first answer that you need to focus at least as much attention to the triceps in order to have big arms. Arms tend to train pretty easily because they are a smaller muscle group than your quads, chest, or back. In fact, you can overtrain your biceps because they get worked doing other movements, like rows. Here are some tips to help you build mass:

- Do your arm workout only twice a week; give the muscles time to recuperate and grow.

- With every bicep workout, match it with a tricep workout.

- Whenever possible while doing a bicep movement, like a dumbell curl, add a twist to the movement - literally. From a standing position holding your dumbells at your side, palms toward you, do a curl. As you near the top of the movement twist your forearm so your palms are facing up. This engages the small head of the bicep.

- Use good form; don’t cheat and swing the weight.

- Eat a lot of protein. Muscle is protein, and to build mass you need to consume protein.

Have fun, and good luck.

Which Is The Best Way To Build Biceps In 1Year.I Am Having Dumbells&I Am A Vegetarian.?

I Will Consume Diary Products.My Hand Bones Are Also Small.As I am 13&I Don’t Want To Go To Gym

Answer

One of the best ways to build any muscle is to eat meat. Meat is the only complete source of protein which is the best way to build muscle. You can lift weights all you want but you can not effectively build muscle if you are a vegetarian.

Building bigger biceps possible with just 5kg?

Slow pace, 12 reps to failure, 3x sets of each arm exercise (10 exercises) for a total work out time of 60 mins - 4 times a week.

No change in diet - currently 1500 Calories (Diet).

Dumbell weight: 5kg (11 pounds) for each dumbbell.

In 6 months, will I get bigger (visible) bicep muscles compared to doing….. no weight lifting at all?

I can’t go any higher weight as I have an illness that effects my muscle power (mitochondrial dysfunction) so 5kg to me is the max I’ll ever lift, unless my muscles get bigger!

Basically the lactate in my blood is already higher (low ATP/Glucose conversion in cells), before starting out on a gym session - so it feels like the end of the session, at the beginning. Hence the pathetic 5kg!

I think most healthy guys would be starting off maybe on 8kg to 10 Kg working up to 15kg to build biceps? No chance on that I’m afraid.

I’m kind of worried, 5kg is going to show nothing in 6 months of effort.

Many thanks fitness experts

Answer

To tell you the truth, if you don’t increase your weights periodically, I’m afraid it won’t have much effect..

You can look to have a fit body by running and other light exercise.. Do sit-ups too. So far as the biceps are concerned, go for push-ups and stick to your 5kg dumbbell on a regular basis… You’ll get good results

Bicep building / Strength — Bulk up Arms.?

I am more of a bench-press type person - I weigh 160, and bench a max of 230/240…but lately I rarely work out…i am getting back to the gym as soon as i pay off some debt and I will be going daily

probably biceps/triceps one day, then shoulders and back, then chest [will be my 3 day work out] …then legs and abs.

I can use hammer curl bar and curl about 60lbs 15-20times

Straight bar - 40lbs 10 times, 3 sets…

 And my one handed curls [20 lbs 10 on each arm] I have to ROCK for em…which means I really suck…

Is there supplements, protein ‘tips’ ….any kind of tips from serious people only to help me get my biceps / triceps/ stabilizers in better shape / bulk up [enough, not HUGE!], and def increase weight

Answer

Have you tried preacher curls? They’re another great routine. The bench allows you to isolate the muscles that make up your biceps and provide great range

Also, try some of these exercises in this article to vary your workout, especially the ones that focus on one handed curls, either standing or sitting

http://www.menshealth.com/cda/article.do…

As for supplements, the best thing for you is 100% whey protein isolate. You can find it in places such as GNC, Walmart/Sams Club, and other fitness places around or online. Mix 2-3 scoops of it with water/milk within 30mins of post workout for the best recovery

Best extreme diets out there,do they work?

Im wanting to go on a diet, and my friend recently did the cambridge diet and she lost a lot of weight doing it. But I was wondering if there were any other diets out there that are similar, and if so has anyone tried them? I want to lose weight fast so I can get the breast reduction I so desperatley need. I know exercise plays a big part and I understand that, so any tips would be great, but I need exercise that doesn’t hurt my boobs.

Thank you

xoxo

Answer

In the first place, you don’t want to lose weight quickly, that messes up your bodily functions and can become dangerous. All you have to do is eat less, some say that if you eat a little every three or fours hours is better than three full meals, especially anyone that is a diabetic. Watch your fat and calorie intake, stay away from high sugar levels, drink plenty of water and instead of a running exercise, make it a fast pace walk. Just remember this, if it tastes really good and sweet, it’s no good for you. Eat more baked chicken and fish, stay away from reg. Coke or Pepsi an especially Mountain Dew, eat vegetables and salads with light dressings or vinegar and oil. Snack at night on fruit and drink more water, or a cup of green tea or decaffeinated tea sweetened with a sugar substitute. Drink skim Milk and put it on a cereal like Special K. When I was doing this, I would diet and exercise Monday thru Saturday. Sunday I would eat normal, but still walked, then Monday, back o
n my diet food. A fast pace walk is all the exercise you need, and ride a stationary bike some. Once you lose your weight, you’ll need to do some sit ups and small weight lifting, and just some basic exercise to firm up where you lost the weight. Wish for you the very best luck young lady.

Answer

The P90X its a 90 day challenge , ow its perfect , check it out i have one actually and my mom and i partake in it . It has two dvds but u must follow them in a certain order , from

1 dvd. intro tape , back and chest, plometrics ( to rasie your heart rate ) , shoulders and arms , yoga , legs and back , kenpo ( like kick boxing )

2. dvd Back and Biceps , Cardio X , X Stretch , Chest, Shoulders and Triceps .

Its a great challenge if you are willing to take it on and have that willpower and not lazy or get to tired. All you need to do though is make you also get your own mat , weights , plates, and stuff u will need in some of the workouts are a chair , water , mat etc .

But its not really with dance , and u dont have to follow the 90 day thing if u dont want , u can just do your own routine if u want

All about P90x and Tony Horton’s 10-minute Trainer!!!!!?

Is P90x worth the money or is it something that is to hard so you just throw it in the corner and forget about it? Also how long do the exercises last and how fast do you see results, are you on a strict diet or anything? Is it for people who need to lose about 20 pounds and get in shape like me?

I also saw tony horton’s 10 minute trainer (same guy) and was wondering if that worked the same, does it take longer to lose weight and see results, which one would be better?

Also I would like to lose the 20 pounds and get in shape in about 3 months. Thank you!

Answer

P90x is difficult, but exercising and weight lose is, period.

M - Chest & Back - you need a chinup bar, DB’s and/or tubing. You will be doing a ton of pushups and various pullups.

W - Should/Bis/Tris - again you need DB’s and/or tubing

F - Back and Legs - more pullups and DB’s

M/W/F you do ab video - 16 minutes.

All the weight workouts are under 1 hour

T - Plyometrics (jump training) 1 hour

Th - Yoga 1hr 30 minutes

Sat - kickbowing

Sun - rest or stretch

4 weeks and then you change it up.

There is a diet program and you will see results in 2 weeks if you put forth the effort.

It will cost about $130 without the chinup bar or other assoccories.

I am having nasty chest pains and can’t breathe properly… and I am only 20! Please help!?

I am only 20 years old. I am having chest pains quite frequently and at night and also heart pains. I have veru shallow breathing and ifind it hard to breathe especially before I fall asleep. I am VERY fit- I exercise daily and combine running, kick boxing, cycling and weight training. In morning I have a phlem build up from my chest in which I spit out lots of thick phlem off my chest and occasionally have a small bit of blood.Last year my friend woke me as I had chest pains and couldn’t breathe well and while asleep she heard my breathing stop. When I woke I couldn’t move I was in so much chest pain and was sat on floor with head between my kness before ambulance arrived. They said it was nothing and I thought they were useless as it clearly IS something. Even my kick boxing partner noticed I ‘don’t breathe’ while exercising’ its not that I dont more so that I breathe so so shallow. Please help!

Answer

They said it was nothing? WTF kind of people are working there?! You need to go to your doctor or to the ER. Demand that they find out what is really wrong with you.

How do I get abs and get rid of love handles/obliques? What workouts are best?

I know I have to lower body fat. I eat 5-6 small meals a day. I do 3 days of strength training and 3 days of 20 min cardio workouts. I also do ab workouts on the 3 days of strength training and 8 minute abs (youtube) on my cardio days. What can I do to eliminate my obliques/love handles and reveal my abs? Any info would help. I’ve went from 211 to 197 in the past 8 weeks.

Answer

Keep at it and vary your workouts.

Variety of exercise is the key I have found. For example..an exercise called Mountain Climbers.

Mountain climbers are done by starting in a pushup position

and then shuffling your feet in and out so that your knees are

moving in under your chest and then back out to starting

position. It sort of resembles climbing a mountain but flat on

the floor. If you want an advanced version, you can also shuffle your hands 8-10 inches forward and backward in

addition to the leg movements. This really makes it a full

body exercise and MUCH more difficult than standard mountain climbers.

After finishing each exercise, rest about 30 seconds before

starting the next exercise. Rest about 1-2 minutes after

completing each “tri-set” before repeating.

This will give you one of the best ab workouts you’ve ever had

without even doing any direct ab exercises. You’ll see what I

mean after you try it!

Once you get away from the myth that a 1000 crunches and 500 situps a day is all you need to do for great abs, then amazing results can be seen.

There is a completely free 65 page ebook about exercise, nutrition, abs and stomaches in particular at http://www.projext.co.uk that you can download (no catch!) and it is excellent.

It helped me greatly.

Exercising for extreme fitness

That perfectly toned body does not require you to put an end to your social life and spend hours and hours doing those strenuous weight trainings in the gym. What comes to aid is a regular full body work out. A regular full body work out not only gets you that perfect muscular body but also comes with several added advantages, it not only helps you save time by cutting down on the amount of time spent at the gym but also prevents burnouts apart from boosting the cardiovascular system which leads to extreme fitness. What cuts down the time is that one needs to spend around an hour in the gym three times a week and that is what makes it a quality workout rather than concentrating on the quantity.

The biggest advantage of having to train only thrice a week is that it gives ample time to do cardiovascular exercises during spare time that ends up adding to the efficiency of the exercise regime. One thing that is very crucial is heavy weight lifting. Desired results can only be achieved with heavy weights; light weights would not serve the purpose here. Another thing to be kept in mind is to target one muscle group at one time.

The secret behind the success of this regime is that it not only boosts testosterone levels but at the same time also increases levels of cortisol in the body, both of which help you get that dream body by building your muscles.

I don’t think so. My mind first went to “hyper-acidity” of the stomach. Gastric acid is hydrochloric acid & when there’s an excess, I believe it’s called hyperchlorhydria (not absolutely sure on that). Acidosis refers to increased acidity in the blood.

Stomach ulcers?

ANSWER :

Hi Casey K, signs of a stomach ulcer can include nausea, loss of appetite, abdominal pain just beneath the ribcage, indigestion, vomiting, symptoms of anemia, weight loss, and blood present in vomit or bowel movements.

If you experience these symptoms for any length of time, it is important to seek medical attention. These are not symptoms to be ignored.

Stomach ulcers occur when there is a break in the tissue lining of the stomach. These ulcers normally occur in the stomach or the first part of the small intestine that leads out of the stomach, called the duodenum.

Treatment options for stomach ulcers can consist of over the counter medications, prescription medications, modifying your diet, perhaps a lifestyle change that includes the addition of exercise and reduction of stress, and as a last result, surgery.

How to get rid of excess gas produced in stomach ?

i have hyperacidity. It gets more severe when i take oily foods….

ANSWER :

Try Beano.

If a slimmer and sexier body is your dream then this is not a high ambition. Many people have succeeded in sculpting their physiques to make them look healthy and desirable. However, this goal is not reached in just a piece of cake or skipping a night and dinner. For some people do, patience is not a virtue. They do not seem to be able to afford so much attention, time and money to obtain compensation from the authority they have always wanted. As a result of these people lead to rapid weight loss practices and programs that might not be as effective as these people are led to believe they are.

Fast-track diet is one of those rapid weight loss practices which may not be very inviting as they seem, according to the study. Fast-track diet programs, such as scientific research shows, are only good while they last. Rapid weight loss often results ironically, to rapid weight gain. people who have been subjected to a low carbohydrate or low calorie diets usually revert back to old eating habits just because humans can not actually live with this type of diet for the rest of their lives.

Now there is scientific research has shown that rapid weight loss does not imply an individual loses unwanted excess fat, it is generally water that has been lost with the following rapid weight loss practices. This can lead to certain alarm, but actually, water is lost very quickly restored. So there is actually zero net weight lost after all. So it should not be foolish enough to do so gullible with the advertising of certain diet pills that are in the market, especially those claiming to aid lose no less than an amount of fat in a short time. They will only dehydrate the body. And just as clearly, the body can only lose two kilos of fat per week, an exception might be lucky if he can lose three, but normally, and only two .

Another rapid weight loss product on the market slimming soap. Claiming that these soaps are made from a unique concoction of rare chinese herbs and seaweed, they claim to help people using them to shed off body fat emulsifying by them at the request while taking a bath. Some are even specialized such as those who promise to give the user beautiful thighs. The ingredients may be helpful for improving the quality of the skin, but no investigation has ever come to the aid of demonstrating the efficacy of these ingredients in emulsifying excess body fat.

A more rapid weight loss product there in the market promises to suppress hunger while contributing to an improvement of the body and metabolism. He also claims to be able to accelerate the healing process and the reduction of certain physical pain, all these plus it is a very chic fashion accent. Well they actually called magnetic weight loss earrings.

The secret of this set of earrings in the magnet, so it says. Wearing them near the ears of the magnetism balances in the body so one will experience all the above consequences. Although press reports say that there are actually studies to back this allegation, yet nothing was found in the medical journals. Although the purchase of a set may not kill a person, and probably not a wise investment. One can also wearing a horse shoe earring for a more sophisticated fashion statement .

Bottom line is no pain, no gain. If one wants a beautiful body, one must sweat it out. And as for that rapid weight loss products on the market if they are too good to be true, they are probably not.

Teenagers and whey protein for building muscle and gaining weight?

Hi,

I have several questions regarding a teenager who is trying to build muscle when going to the gym.

First, he wants to gain some weight so he can “bulk up” (not gain weight and get fat). He eats a lot, but just cannot gain weight. Would whey protein be good for this.

Also, he is trying to build muscle and get the most out of his workouts at the gym. A trainer said to have 1 whey protein shake an hour? before the workout, and another one directly after working out. Will this help build muscle? Is this healthy? Is this the correct amount to have? Also, how long should he have the whey protein for… every time working out… until we see some results (in muscle and in weight gain)? Should he weene off taking it or just stop? Will the results stay, or will he rely on having whey protein every time he works out.

Sorry for all the questions… your help is greatly appreciated.

Answer

a lot of protein is great, too much protein does nothing( the excess protein will just not be absorbed and will exit the body)

take roughly 1.5 times the amount you way in pounds a day. slowly over the day. The body can, again, roughly, absorb 30-35 grams of protein at a time. It is a good idea to drink a protein shake and have a carb source such as a banana before work out and after work out. Have another low carb hi protein shake right before you go to bed to refuel your muscels when yo uare asleep. That is when your muscles need the protein the scond most, the first most important time would be right after a workout(within an hour of end of training)

Just keep working out and pushing yourself harder and adding more weight, 4-5 days a week at max 1 hour sessions. remember the exercise should burn during the last reps of each set. Goodluck!

Best maximuscle supplement for building muscle?

looking at geting some maximuscle which type is best.

Answer

Well, it depends on what exactly you’re looking for. According to their website, they’ve got 11 different products in their “build muscle” section. They have proteins, creatines, combinations (mostly with protein and other things), meal replacement bars, ZMA, etc. All of those can be used together if you wanted to, but you may want to buy from other companies that don’t charge as much for the simple ingredients (like the ZMA and Creatine at least).

Protein is basic fuel for your body and all muscles. Creatine is quick energy for your muscles. Meal replacement bars… well, that says it in the name. ZMA helps to boost Testosterone levels.

Each of those help different aspects of your workout and can help build muscle in their own way. I’d suggest taking a look at their website to see what’s available.

What are the best foods to eat for building muscle?

And what are are the best drinks?

thx ^-^

Answer

The basic norm for Muscle Building foods is “Eat, Eat and then eat some more”. Lets discover what to eat Now.

 

When eating to build muscle mass don’t get too fancy. The list below contains the best Muscle building foods proven to add pounds of muscle to your body.

 

The Best Muscle Building Foods

 

Any food that has high quantity of carbs and protein qualifies itself as best muscle building food. The best way to ensure that you get adequate muscle building nutrition is to combine 2 high quality sources of carbs and protein.

 

High Quality Muscle Building Carbohydrates

 

Carbohydrates are Muscle sparing nutrients. The body uses carbs for energy and muscles are filled with glycogen as well. Quality carbs will help you with high energy so vital for Muscle building workouts.

 

Complex carbs are the best as they are slow releasing. Simple carbs like fruit juices, energy drinks should be restricted to around workouts period as they provide immediately useable energy { insulin spike }, which if not used will be stored as fat.

 

The Best Complex Carbs

 

Bread

Brown rice

Oatmeal

Bagel

Pasta

Cereals

Potatoes

 

The Best Simple Carbohydrates

 

Fruits like Apple, Orange, Grapes, Raisins and Mango

Honey

High energy carb drinks

High Quality Muscle Building Proteins

 

Protein are regarded as the building blocks of Muscle. Not all foods contain enough proteins and their protein completeness also differs. Vegetarian diets have to be combined to get all essential amino acids in order to make a complete protein meal.

 

Without sufficient protein you guarantee failure. So make sure you eat one of the listed protein every meal.

 

The Best Protein Foods

 

Chicken breast

Turkey

Tuna

Egg whites

Cottage cheese

Yogurt

Protein Shakes

High Quality Fats

 

High quality essential fatty acids help the production of testosterone and hundreds of biological functions in the body.

 

The magical omega-3 fatty acids required for this can be found in the below listed foods.

The Best Fat Foods

 

Flaxseed oil

Olive oil

Udo’s choice

Cod-liver oil

High quality Energy Drink - Water

 

There is no replacement for water. Colas and alcohol cannot. Only Water means water.

 

Not many people drink enough water, not many people get the Muscle gain results they want either.

 

One Last Tip

 

Remember “Eat, Eat and then eat some more”. Your Muscle Building Gains will not disappoint you.

Difference between strength training and building muscle?

Is there a way to do both? build muscle and build your strength, and can you show me the difference between the 2. To build strength you do alot of weight and fewer reps but more sets right? so like 5 reps but like 6 sets of it? i’m just looking for how many sets/reps you should do for strength training and building muscle. just differences

Answer

You are talking about the same thing, strength training is building muscle. How else would you get stronger, by putting on fat?? Yes, typlically to lift heavier weight you will want to do less reps with more weight. But dont overdo it. It is easy to injur yourself if you are not training all of the muscles needed to perform an excercise eaqually. Dont neglect the importance of your arms and back in performing chest excercises etc.

What is better for building muscle, creatine or whey protein?

Answer

Whey protein hands down. To build muscle you need to get several things straight: your workout, rest, and nutrition. Nutrition is probably the most important. If you’re not eating enough, you’re not going to grow. The most important macronutrient for building muscle is protein, and different sources will tell you you need different amounts, but the general “number” accepted by bodybuilders and weightlifters (e.g. not doctors and researchers) is 1g/lb bodyweight. So if you weigh 170lbs, you should aim for at least 170g protein a day. Drink lots, and lots of water, even if you aren’t thirsty, so that this does not task your kidneys.

So, whey protein is essential as it helps you get your diet in check. Creatine is extra, like icing on the cake. It can help you make great strength and muscle gains, and even though you will lose some of it when you get off creatine, your hard earned muscle will not just “disappear” contrary to what a lot of people think. Creatine does make you gain some water weight, but not all of it is just “water.” Also, newer formulations such as creatine dichelate, creatine magnesium chelate, etc. (a lot of time has passed since just normal creatine monohydrate years ago) transport the creatine better into the muscles so that it doesn’t get trapped just under your skin and give you the dreaded “creatine bloat.”

Do bodyweight exercises burn fat while building muscle? and is it a great way to get rdy for lifting weights?

is that True or should i just start lifting? im 16 yrs old btw

Answer

At 16 bodyweight is the IDEAL way to get yourself ready for heavy lifting. Your bones arent formed properly at 16 and heavy lifting can actually stunt your growth or cause permanent damage. Where as body weight will keep you strong, and in the condition you would need to be in to play most sports.

You may want to also take up pilates (bodyweight exercises) or yoga (which will increase your flexibility, reducing the amount of injury you are likely to cause yourself).

If building muscle…?

should i limit my cardio so i don’t lose my muscle???…i am 14 and a hockey player..i want to build muscles and increase speed wat should my weight time and cardio time look like. e.g 1 hour daily weights and 20 mins cardio

Answer

Don’t lift every day. But one hour is good, 3, 4 times a week. I’m not sure as to whether cardio will make you lose muscle. Cardio will slow your metabolism down, while if you gain muscle mass, that will speed it up. If you eat a lot and your metabolism is slowing down, that might help you gain weight. But if you burn too many calories while doing cardio, you might lose weight. If you do a lot a lot of cardio that will make you lose weight also because of the way it trains your muscles. But I don’t think 20 min a day would be bad at all. More than 60 min every day would be bad. But 20-30 min sounds good. Good luck!

 Small Ways to Lose a Big Belly

1. Fried foods are garbage. Potato chips, French fries and onion rings are pregnant with saturated fat and calories, yet they contain zero healthy or muscle-promoting nutrients. If you’re on a fat-loss plan, simply eliminate fried foods. That alone will allow you to shed lard quickly

2. Drink a glass of skim milk as soon as you wake up. Some quick protein before you even step into the shower will energize you and end those morning cravings for Egg McMuffins and pastry.

3. Do 2 minutes of pushups every morning. It’s tough to exercise as soon as you roll out of bed, but you can burn off 21 calories a day–2 1/2 pounds in a year.

4. Toss a quart of water in your briefcase. Water helps you burn calories–96 calories just by carrying a bottle while you walk for 20 minutes. Serve it over ice in your office and your body will burn 31 calories warming it to 98.6. Then there’s the aerobic effect of all those bathroom runs.

5. Want to look better naked? Try drinking half as much alcohol. Alcohol contains calories. You may drink like a fish, but booze isn’t water. Even a light beer has more than 100 calories. Booze makes you store fat. Your body sees alcohol as a poison, and tries desperately to get rid of it. Your liver stops processing all other calories until it has dealt with the alcohol. So anything else you eat during the time you’re drinking is more likely to end up as fat. Alcohol also lowers testosterone. With more abdominal fat, testosterone drops.

Many people today are much more aware of their own health and fitness. In addition, these people, and many others, are now with that desire to sculpt their bodies to ahieve that magazine-cover look. As a result, gyms, spas and other health fitness centers have proliferated across to meet the needs of the fitness buffs and lovers .

Even on the television fitness equipment, weight loss products and other paraphernalia to improve fitness have more or less gained control over the airwaves and their way into the households. But exerise is not the only way to that body beautiful. It also means that part of the responsibility of the food choice to eat. Because the healthy and fit doing a diet also requires fitness.

Diet fitness is just as essential as exercise itself. Diet for fitness gives the food an essential needs to restore worn-out muscles and a healthy growth. Diet fitness should never be taken for granted. With the popularity of keeping fit, many different views, methods, programs and diet strategies have been formulated by many professionals. These include high-carbohydrate diets and high fat diets. Whih a more effective and which one must choose to follow?

The first thing to know would be the fundamental differences between these two approaches diet. As the name indicates, high-carbohydrate diet focuses on taking carbohydrate-rich foods, while high-fat diets endorses fat-rich foods. High-carbohydrate diets have been used to glycogen stored in the liver and muscles. Glycogeen is a complex glucose that large amounts of energy ready for use in anaerobic exercises .

Fats, on the other hand, accounts for nown is the richest source of calories. It actually contains 2.5 times more calories than carbohydrates and proteins at each other. Studies also show that the body 24 calories to metabolize carbohydrates, while only 3 to burn down fat. So which one to follow? A person can follow a high carbohydrate and low fat diet fitness or vice versa. It is absolutely not advisable to both simultaneously, unless of course if you want to gain body fat.

But then diet fitness is not all about the loss of fat, one must also take account of their diet, so bold way. Research shows that sustainable loss of weight can only be reached on a diet that suits the individual food preferences, lifestyle, medical profile and satiety signals.

Fitness programs everywhere can help you shed from excess pounds, but only one diet can help you stay sexy, and it is one that you most satisfied. Other important elements of a diet fit moderation, balance and variation. One must be careful not to leave important nutrients and other substances for the healthy body works. Health organisations are clear about the quantities of nutrients an individual should have the body .

Low Fat high sugar, low-fat high-sugar, the question is not the diet program will work, but it is the work for you. The quest for a sexy and healthy body does not have to burden an individual, health, fitness, nutrition does not mean that the same type of food for life. You can also try to adventurous and testing of new foods out there. Who knows? You may even discover spinach interesting.

Wellbutrin XL is now available in generic (the SL has been generic for years). I find I tolerate the extended release tablet once a day tablet much better than the slow release which you need to take more frequently.

Statistics: Best formula for average weight gain?

I did a survey of nearly 1000 people. In the survey I have the starting weight and ending weight (the participants were trying to gain weight).

What is the best formula for eliminating the most errors in finding the average weight gain?

Right now I am using the standard elementary formula for finding a mean: (Total weight gain by all participants/ number of participants).

Is there a more accurate way? I find that a few participants are throwing off the average, probably because they reported wrong (the survey was online).

Answer :

The most accurate way, if you have the before and after results (paired test), of each subject is to perform a hypothesis Z-test on the DIFFERENCES of before and after weights. Analyzing it this way, there can be no outliers and the differences in the starting weights is eliminated.

Your test statistic is Z = Dbar/(sd/vn)

Where Dbar is the average difference weight gain and is compared against a 0 weight gain.

sd is the standard deviation of the differences.

The critical Z value depends on your a-risk.

I need your opinions on weight gain PLEASE?

I’m 5ft, I weigh just over 6 stone. I am unhappy with my size, I want fuller breats, a bigger bum & definately know I need more meat on me.

I do eat like a pig, however, I have fast metabolism and I can’t seem to gain weight.

My family suggested eating atleast 4000/5000 Calories per day if I want to gain weight because that may work?

But - I don’t really know what foods are best to eat to help me reach 4000/5000 Calories if I only eat (normally) 2 hot meals a day & then snacks all through out.

Would it be best if I tried eating 3 hot meals a day?

And snacked 15-20 minutes in between or what?

I really want to gain weight, I feel uncomfortable with my size. I don’t look super skinny, I am in proportion but I would feel more comfy if I was atleast a size 8 or 10. (Currently a UK size 4, which is a US size 0)

I’m not sure if I can get pills or liquids to take from my doctor to sort out my metabolism?

Please help, It would be much appreciated!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Answer :

you would be very silly to eat 5000 cals a day, you will do yourself more harm than good, your heart will not be able to stand the sudden change in diet and no doubt your arteries will start to clog prematurely..my brother had this same problem and he went to a health food store and bought food supplement that weight lifters ect use, but didnt do any excercise, he manages to put on a few extra pound..theree are lots of people out there who are trying to lose weight but people dont appreciate what it is like to be under weight, and its not usualy because of under eating………if you really need to do this then i stress to you, please try to do it healthily and not just eating crap cos thats not good…hope this helps x

What is the best weight loss method for diabetics type 1?

It is known that insulin creates weight gain so what can a diabetic do to lose weight? Is there a better insulin system or pills which can be added aside from Metformin? Thanks for all replies.. cherie

Answer :

Insulin plays a major role in weight gain, and even keeps us from losing weight. Insulin is responsible for the storage of all the foods we eat: carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. However, high glycemic carbohydrates cause blood sugars to rise very rapidly, therefore causing the pancreas to release insulin very rapidly. In some people the body overcompensates and releases too much. The insulin will store these carbohydrates/sugars very quickly. The good side is you get a quick burst of energy; the bad side is most of what is eaten will be stored as fat. Since the blood sugars rose very rapidly, the insulin will try to bring the blood sugars within normal ranges very rapidly, causing the sugars to be pushed by the insulin into every cell, including fat cells. On the other hand, if you eat low-to-moderate glycemic carbohydrates, blood sugars rise more slowly; therefore so does insulin. When this happens more of what you ate is pushed into your body’s cells to be used for energy, and w
hatever is left over will be stored in fat cells. Weight loss programs ensure how to control insulin and blood sugar levels so optimal weight loss results will be achieved.

Insulin activates lipoprotein lipase. This enzyme acts as a roadblock for the removal of triglycerides (fat) out of the fat cells. Insulin also inhibits another enzyme called hormone sensitive lipase. This enzyme is responsible for the breaking down of stored fats, on your waist so to speak. During exercise if insulin levels are high, your body will use more energy from carbohydrates/sugars than from fat. Now you can see why most people see very little or no results in weight reduction, even though they exercise. The key is to control your insulin and blood sugars levels

Which is worse? Gain fast or lose fast?

I have heard many people say it’s dangerous to lose weight fast but what about all those people that gained weight fast.

I think rapid weight gain is more common than rapid weight loss.

Answer :

You know it’s interesting, I was in your same situation about 3 months ago (during Christmas time), and it wasnt until a friend told me about http://www.findhowtoloseweightfast.com that I was able to get a solid answer!

Basically a group of people are reviewing all the different weight loss methods that ARE working, from herbal supplements to diet strategies. My mom (who is in her late 50s) lost about 20lbs over the last 2 months through a diet plan they recommended.

I lost 45lbs!! Of course I “cheated” and went the herbal supplement pill route, but I chose the same one Oprah now uses, so to each their own right

Good luck either way! Tons of information to success out there!

Diet has ronaldinho’s weight gain issues under control????!!!!?

DID ANYBODY NOTICED THAT HE PUT FIVE-KILOS ON WEIGHT SINCE THE START OF THE LIGA CAMPAIGN???

I didn’t!!! but under the new weight-loss regime, Ronaldinho reportedly has lost close to three kilos and is approaching his ideal weight once more!

BUT WAS THAT THE REASON WHY DINHO HAS BEEN SLOW OFF THE MARK IN THE 2006/07 SEASON?

HOW MANY PER CENT WOULD U GIVE RONNIE AT THE MOMENT?

I would say 80% but I hope he will be 100% soon!!!

SOMEBODY TELL RONNIE TO GO JOGGING OR STOP GOING OUT WITH RONALDO AT MC DONALDS,OR SOMETHING!!! just kidding…I’m sure he doesn’t do that and that he is still a sweet goody!!! LOVE HIM!!!

he’s got a match today against mallorca and I’m gonna pay attention at every sign of fat and see if it’s true or not!

~peace allz~

Answer :

“SOMEBODY TELL RONNIE TO GO JOGGING OR STOP GOING OUT WITH RONALDO AT MC DONALDS,OR SOMETHIN” <<<< this statment from you made my day! this is so hilarious. hahaha. you are so adorable especially the way you care for “your” Ronnie.

I have noticed myself he was little bit out of shape but I am not really all that concerned. Real Madrid and Brazil have their own physical fitness team and I am sure they must have brought it to Ronaldinho’s attention. Plus he has been the top scorer for Real Madrid this season so he seems to be enjoying his game with Real Madrid. IT IS ONLY WHEN HE IS PALYING WITH BRAZIL SOMETHING GOES WRONG- HE JUST IS NOT AT HIS BEST! It really puzzles me but Ron is Ron. A True Soccer Genius but at the same time I hope he starts shedding the pounds which I am sure he hass been doing.

Added : LOL …..You are totally right! I confused myself there for a second. Just replace Real Madrid with Barcelona and You will get what I am saying. I know you were talking about Ronaldinho but for some unknown reasons instead of using Barcelona, I was using Real Madrid…In fact, I was tired last nite when I wrote the answer. So, I lost my concentration a bit.

Thanks for the Correction!!!!

How to avoid weight gain while travelling especially when your travel companion is a big eater?

Hi, im going backpacking for six months soon and am worried about putting on weight as it’s hard to control how healthy your food is when you’re away from home. Also the friend i’m going with is a big eater and when I went away for a month with her last year I ended up putting on half a stone.

Answer :

if your backpacking you will probably be walking a lot so why would you worry about overeating?
