Muscle question?

Is it possible to see muscular growth by only doing isometric contractions alone?
Answer:
Yes. If you hold your arms outstretched and put 10 kg in each hand. that will do it. If you lie on your back and hold your feet an inch off the ground that will do it. If you lie on your tummy and then bridge from your feet to your elbows.. that will also do it.
Sometime yes it can grow muscles so they get bigger but you need to concentatre a lot and only think about it in specific location like mind over ,matter and things of this nature.

Muscle mass help!!?

PLEASE READ THIS!! i know all the basics like more protein and more carbs and everything but my real question is about the EXERCISE. is it better to do max weights,12 reps, one set, OR again max weighst lower reps(5 or so) and 3 or 4 sets. which is better and why?
Answer:
You're right, you want max weight. You want to push yourself. With weight and reps. Try not to focus on an exact number. Rather, go until you can't possible go anymore. ...and then do one more.

You want to push your muscles. When you weight lift, your muscles are tearing (or ripping) on a microscopic level. The day after you weight train, your muscles are going around repairing themselves and building bigger, stronger muscles on top of those microscopic rips.

By doing more reps and pushing yourself further, in a sense, you're creating more of those tiny tears, therefore creating more muscle mass.

If you can do more than a dozen reps, then you don't have enough weight on.

If you lift every other day, you'll get better results because you're letting those muscles repair themselves in between workouts.

Also, make sure you're keeping up on your cardio. Keeping that fat down will help your muscles show through more and you'll have a more "cut" look instead of the soft teddy bear look.
Strength = High Weight %26 Low Rep
Mass = High Weight %26 High Rep
Tone = Low Weight %26 High Rep

I was taught this way (by high school coach who was a body builder).

To put on mass I would do about 6 set ranging for 10-2 reps per set. Start with 10 reps with an amount of weight you can do 10 times and so on. Always use a weight that you have to lightly strain to pull of the last few reps, but DON'T use a weight too heavy that you will get cheated out of reps due weakness.

Muscle building tips?

I need tips on how to add muscle to my abs and I only have two 10 pound weights and one 15 pund weight...any tips? I want to at least build a six pack by the end of the summer.
Answer:
Doing Abdominal exercises will not by itself enable to you look like a cover model. Your belly could even get bigger. Here鈥檚 why. People tend to store fat in their stomachs. You can have the strongest abs in the world but if you have 3 inches of fat in front of them, your still going to have 3 inches of fat. It鈥檚 just going to be pushed out a little more.

Spot reducing-trying to lose weight in one part of your body by exercising that area- simply doesn鈥檛 work.

In order to see those abdominal muscles, you must combine aerobic exercise-walking, running, treadmill, stairclimbing- with abdominal exercises and eating a healthy diet.



Best Abdominal Exercises

To achieve rippling abdominal muscles you must perform aerobic exercise like walking, running, treadmill workouts, staircliming. You must also perform abdominal exercises and diet correctly.

Working you abdominal muscles will not by itself give you washboard abs.

Having weak abs can lead to poor posture and leave you susceptible to back injuries.

To get the best results you need to do 15-20 reps of each abdominal exercise. You can build up your abdominal muscles by doing a veriety of abdominal exercises with and without weight.

Here are a list of the best abdominal exercises

Hip raises

Tips: 1. This exercise is great because unlike crunches, this works mostly the lower abs. 2. Use your abs to pull your legs up. Rotate your pelvis foreward to really "crunch" your abs. 3. Try not to swing. Using momentum in any exercise is cheating! 4. Squeeze your abs at the top! Keep your legs together.





Crunches
Lie flat on your back with your feet flat on the ground, or resting on a bench with your knees bent at a 90 degree angle. If you are resting your feet on a bench, place them three to four inches apart and point your toes inward so they touch. Place your hands lightly on either side of your head keeping your elbows in. Don't lock your fingers behind your head! Push the small of your back down in the floor to isolate your ab muscles. Begin to roll your shoulders off the floor. Continue to push down as hard as you can with your lower back. Your shoulders should come up off the floor only about four inches, and your lower back should remain on the floor. Focus on slow, controlled movement - don't cheat yourself by using momentum!

The best abdominal exercise overall.



Hanging knee raise

Hang from a bar with your legs straight down. Raise your legs by flexing your hips while flexing your knees until your hips are fully flexed. Continue to raise knees toward shoulders by flexing your waist. Do NOT swing and use momentum. Go slow and concentrate on using your abs to pull your legs up. Return to the starting position. Repeat. You can place weight between your ankles for added resistance. You can also raise your knees to one side of your body to work the obliques.

The best abdominal exercise for you lower abs.

Rowing crunch with ankle weights.

One of the best abdominal exercise not used.

Dumbell side bend

Works the obliques. Stand straight up with your feet at shoulder width. Hold a dumbbell in your right hand with your palms in. Place your left hand on your waist. Keep your back straight. Bend to the right as far as you can, then bend to the left as far as possible. After finishing your desired reps, change the weight to your other hand and repeat. Bend at your waist only, not at your hips or knees! Can also be done with a barbell on your shoulders.


Barbell trunk twist

Works your obliques. Place a light barbell on your shoulders and sit at the end of a flat bench with your feet firmly on the floor. Twist your torso to the right, then to the left by twisting at your waist only. Do not move your head from side to side. Keep your back straight and your head up. Can also be done standing or by holding a dumbbell close to your chest.




Cable crunch

Kneel below a high pulley. Grasp cable rope attachment and place wrists against the head. Flex hips slightly and allow the weight to hyperextend the lower back. With the hips stationary, flex the waist so the elbows travel toward the middle of the thighs. Return and repeat.


Curl up

Seated twist

Works your obliques. Place a light barbell on your shoulders and sit at the end of a flat bench with your feet firmly on the floor. Twist your torso to the right, then to the left by twisting at your waist only. Do not move your head from side to side. Keep your back straight and your head up. Can also be done standing or by holding a dumbbell close to your chest.

Muscle building tips ?? i want to be big !?

im 14 and am 6ft tall and have quite a big build but no defanition and muscle shape. i want to build up from my size to a big, strong build (like a boxer) i know to eat plenty of protien and carbs but what else can i do. help me !! also tell me what to do %26 how long a day to work out considering that im at school. lol
Answer:
Find a trainer and work out like a madman.
My finace lifts and loves to be big too... :)

He swears that the secret is in supplements! He uses this stuff called Cell-Tech.it's a protein shake, but it's specially made to build muscle fast!

Good luck!

Your still too young and need to finish growing first!! Dont mean to sound patronising.
You're far too young at the minute, but to be blunt, steriods, anyone who's big supplements with anabolics.

I'm completly anti recreational drugs, but the fact of the matter is over a year it's a difference of 4 -5 stone with steriods or less that 1 stone training naturally. Also, it's practically impossible to reduce your bodyfat to a level that really shows definition without steriods.
NEVER EVER USE STEROIDS!!!!!!!!... I do that with as many explanation marks as possible, because they are bad for you in so many different ways, for a start they are a drug. I have heard that protein shakes are good for building muscle as long as you work it off, so try those and plenty of exercise. It can cause the following problems (using steroids):
For Guys For Girls
Baldness
Development of breasts
Painful erections
Shrinkage of testicles
Loss of function of testicles
Loss of function of testicles
Growth of facial and body hair
Deepened voice
Breast reduction
Enlarged clitoris
Menstrual irregularities



For Both
Acne
Jaundice (yellowing of the skin)
Swelling 鈥?Fluid retention
Stunted growth (close the growth plates in the long bones and permanently stunt their growth)
Increase in bad cholesterol levels
Decrease in good cholesterol levels
Mood swings
Increase in feelings of hostility
Increase in aggressive behavior
Seeing that you want to tone your body and have definition, I suggest weight-lifting. Do 3 sets of 11-15 reps in various exercises. You know, like dead lifting, squatting, bench pressing, etc. This will help you to define your muscles. Make sure your lifting to your max as well. Don't do a light weight 15 reps and expect to get results. Do a weight that you can lift only 15 times at most. Eat a lot, too. I don't mean like throwing down a bunch of saturated fats in cookies and crap like that. Eat about 3500 calories a day, and make sure over half of those calories come from carbs. Carbohydrates are your main energy source, so eat a carb-packed meal about an hour or so before you work out, too. Also keep in mind the importance of water.
Frankly, you're a bit young to try and get really big, but you can certainly train for shape and definition. Do some free weight exercises, 12 to 15 reps minimum. At your age you should do compound exercises rather than the isolation ones.

You can start by getting a simple set of dumbells, nothing fancy - get the ones that come with an exercise chart. If you stick at it and do it right, you'll see a difference by the third week.

Lastly, it's worth repeating - don't try to get big till you're a bit older. You'e probably still growing!

Mt boyfriend has is an african american and has a 11 in penis. is this normal?


Answer:
Of course it is..penis' come in all shapes and sizes but that is pretty big..wow goodluck with that one..lol.
you better get used to saying "ouch".
First of all. the fact that your boyfriend is african-american has nothing to do with it. And yes, it is perfectly normal you should be happy he has such a long penis!
African American and whites have the largest. This is a lot larger than normal. I'm white and mine is 8 1/2 inches long and thick so it is larger than normal.
hav fun with that in your mouth, might have to havtonsils removed. haha
no not at all, it can be painful too.
Sure for a Zebra lol
Yes it is normal but a womens vagina is only about 7 inches deep so it is pretty useless having an 11 inch penis
wow he's small I feel bad for you have 11 inches * shrimp cough shrimp*
is it in yet!!!!!!
Heyyy just cuz he's black doesn't mean a thing...it's on the large side for most guys...so yeah enjoy
k, thats it?
im indian and im bigger.

Mounatin dew and erections?

ok so i was at this party and they had mountain dew and i offered some to my guy friends and they said they couldnt drink any because it gave them erections..um im still trying to figure this one out..please help me!
Answer:
Uhh...PURE BS! unless the CAN ITSELF((like the colors and stuff) is enough to excite them THAT much!
agree pure BS. someone told them a story about that subject or recieved a spiked can with viagra or something like it in the soda.
seriously? that is is weird I never heard of that that must be some kind of joke your friends are playing they told you aLie

weird friends you have
Ive heard from many people that mountain dew reduces your sperm count. THIS IS NOT TRUE. It was tested on mythbusters(with coke, but still).
I think they were being coy, if not buy a truck load
ill have to suggest that to myth busters and maybe they will do it on there show. doubt it though
I never heard that , but i did hear that Mountain Dew lowers your sperm count. I'm not sure though...
I have no idea, could be just something they believe to be true but isn't.
they were teasing you.
