Ask me anything relating to lifting weights/workingout.

I go to gym 4 times a week but see little gains. What should I eat to bulk up?
 
I have been working out for some time now . I have gained a decent amount of bulk in my body . I would now like to rip (tone) my body in such a way that all the muscles (shoulder , tricep , bicep) are clearly visible.

What kind of a workout is required for this ?Any particular diet to follow ?
 
OP when I read your opening thread I was going to flame you but once I read your responses, your advice was pretty good. I'm heavily into health and fitness myself and used to be a personal trainer. So I was thinking that someone (you) who doesn't have formal training is not going to give good advice. So far so good. lol

Oh one more thing, don't forget to state your disclaimer against any liability.
 
yoyo op, have you tried out this toy?

Code:
http://www.fastexercise.com/

I've used it once, and let me tell you it kicked my ass soo hard i didn't know which way was up..and it was only in four min. I was like holy shit that's unbelievable.

Definitely not a device for people who don't have money, it's hella expensive. I've been soo close to buying the machine after i tried it out for the first time, maybe i'll get it for myself for christmas. :D

I actually saw something about this product in a copywriting book. Apparently it sells extremely well for its price point.

So is this thing for mainly cardio? I haven't taken the time to read through the website, but I can't see how it could be used for building muscle mass.

Who knows - I'm probably wrong though :)
 
^ yeah i think it's mostly for cardio...it really will make you feel like you're about to faint at the end of the four min. it worked every single muscle i had to exhaustion (biceps, triceps, abs, chest, back, ect) including ones i didn't know existed. from what i've read on it, it seems like it would work really well for building up good lean muscle and burning fat but not so much if you wanted to really put on the weight. i'm a distance runner myself and kind of think it would be good use as a cross-trainer.

i just couldn't believe how much the thing worked me over, it would be fun to see what kind of results you could get after a few months with the machine.

I saw once that popular mechanics did a fairly positive review of the machine.

Whats the quickest way to get a 6pack? Ive got a tiny bit of flab on my belly thats keeping me from a 6pack. Like a combo of cardio and crunches/situps?
 
Help me as well.

I have been working out since last 1 year. My bicep size is stuck at 15.7" or so. I have tried variety of exercises , with different workout programs, but nothing works for me.

I am taking protein and creatine, if this helps.

If you could tell me some advanced exercises or routine, that would be great.

(I workout my bi's and tri's only once a week) and concentrate more on deadlifts and squats.
 
That's just wrong!

How many days a week should I train to gain some muscle mass?
And..what form of training is the best?

I might as well join testosterone corner as I'm a BWLA leader although I
haven't done any serious training for a year or so.
Resistance training is always best to create mass. When I say resistance I
mean weights ect. As For days a week to train, you should always have a
rest day, recovery is just as important as training if you want to add some extra muscle as you only grow when you're resting. To add bulk you should
train heavy weights/ low reps and to ad definition you should lighten the
weight and do more reps. You should also remember that you need to implement some sought of cardiovascular training anlong with your weight
workout. you need to be getting as much oxygen to those muscles as you can. I used to circuit train at least 4 times a week as an addition to my schedule. My schedule was.
Day1: Arms and shoulders.
Day2: Chest and back
Day3: Legs (I would do a leg workout on it's own due to the amount of physical resourses it uses).
Day4: Rest
I would do abs everyday except my rest day and I ran for an hour a day.
And repeat.
Diet is another important factor without getting into supplements and amino acids ect. But for me It was carbohydrates a few hours before a workout and protein after. Everyones body is different and you have to tailor your
workout to what your body requires.
I have never been a massive hulk but for strenth, fitness definition and
proportion I was on top of the game and even at 48 I'm in better shape than most of the 20 year olds around.
Remember it's about looking good not being big.
 
Hmm, Do situps really help with abs? i heard it only helps when you do a lot, like 150 a day or something, is that true?
 
An ab workout involves more than just sit ups. your ab muscles are muscles just the same
as any other however you can do a thousand sit ups a day and it won't be worth a damn
if you still got last years Christmas dinner sitting on top of it. You need to loose that body
fat if you want a 6 pack. The whole of your waist and stomach area are a collection of muscles made up from your Rectus Abdominis, Transversus Abdominis, External Obliques and your Internal Obliques and they all need
to be targeted independently.
Sit ups, crunches, leg raises and again at angles and again with twists.
With weight to ad more resistance.
 
Another question, whats the best way to lose belly fat? i know the basics, diet, sit ups, crunches and stuff, but anything else?

:D Besides keeping to a sensible diet to loose weight you have to burn more calories than you take in. When you use a computerised excercise machine for an hour you'll see you've burnt a few hundred calories depending on the intencity and think "damn two snickers
and i'll put that back" but it doesn't work like that. If you do at least 20 mins of cardiovascular exercise a day your metabolism will increase and
you will start to burn fat. When I was runnining I would vary my speed and
train like a runner as you see alot fat people running but you never see a fat runner and that's the key.
As for your bingo wings, you need to firm up those tricep muscles down the back of your upper arm. Dips! Feet on the floor with your legs out strait.
arms behind your back holding on to a dinning chair. Lower yourself as far as you can and push back up. Do that for ten reps rest a minute and repeat
twice more. Do that every other day and you'll notice the difference. Also
When you're in the kitchen hold a couple of cans or jars lower them behind
your head and raise them to the ceiling the same 3 sets of ten reps but you can do them whenever you like.
Pick won't be staying up long google images finds them.
