I would pull my health book out right now if I didnt sell it.
All over the bottles it says "#1 muscle gainer!" "gain 5x your mass in 2 weeks!!!" "guaranteed!!!"
The average body can only digest like around 30 grams of protein a day and after that it just gets flushed out your system.
and 30 grams is like a couple pieces of chicken, which you would eat anyway. |
What the fuck are you talking about dude? You should take in like 30 grams of protein per meal. You should take in at least your bodyweight in grams of protein throughout the day. I know dudes that take 1.5-2x which could be too much. I have heard The average human body can digest liek 50 grams at a time. don't know why you are spouting off on some 30 grams a day bullshit... thats like ethiopian refugee status.

The whole grams per pound ratio is a gym rule of thumb that IS ABSOLUTELY FALSE. Nutritionally, it's .8 grams per kilogram of body weight. If you open any nutrition book or ask a nutritionist, they'll tell you the same.
I weigh 165 lbs. In kilograms, that's about 75...time's that by .8 and you get 60 grams. 60 grams is the optimum amount for a regular day. Athletes tend to have about 1.5 grams per kilogram so I round out to having a around 110 grams of protein a day.
Now if I listened to all the gym rats and ate a gram of protein per pound I weigh, I'd be ingesting way too much protein that in the end the body will just get rid of because it's in excess. Go open a nutrition textbook or call a nutritionist, it's .8 grams per kilogram you way. And if you don't believe me, think of it logically. Grams and pounds are used in different number systems- when you put things into a ratio, you need to make everything into the same measuring system.
IN CONCLUSION,
.8 GRAMS PER KILOGRAM[/b]
1.5 GRAMS PER KILOGRAM FOR LIFTING
unless of course you're a professional bodybuilder and you just lift all day, other than that, the excessive protein will hurt your kidneys
Sure, few months of taking too much protein and you might be all right. Do too much and you're going to hurt your kidneys in the long wrong. |

| To truely get the most out of your chest workout and your bodys full potential, you should be working out your legs as well. I believe it has something to do with more testerone being released, therefor it would only benefit you...So the answer is yes, as stated above. |

Has anyone done HIT weight training? I hear the results are nice and its the way to go. I personally have not tried high intesnity workouts, but I was skimming through that "Lifetime Strength" workout regime and it looked interesting. I'm thinking about giving it a shot, yay or nay?

Also it'll create an imbalance and make you clumsy if you continue to do so. Your body will be disproportional and also it will look pretty funny.

What's HIT training?
| archtect wrote: | How to jump higher:
1)never buy anklewieghts
2)Its obvous that a lot of great dunkers had no leg mass - its not in the muscle mass.
discipline yourself to do as many toe-raises as you can. What I do is tell my self every time I walk up the first step to my room I have to stop and hit 50 toe-raises, and that could be a lot or a little. Thats essentially all you need to do.
Good alternates:
1 - stairclimber machine
2 - practice jumping slowly but as strong as you can with a heavy medicine ball lifting the ball the same way you would a basketball.
3 - jump rope
It takes A Loooooong time to get better at jumping and a lot of people I know give up quick.
So you dont need to waste your money or time in a gym or buy any expensive milkshakes to gain muscle mass. |
Getting great jumping ability is more about your core muscles than anything. Jump roping will help but that creates footwork more than jumping ability. To get jumping ability you need to work out your core and to make sure when you do jump that you use your arms as well. With working your core you also need to work hamstrings, butt, and quads. Keep in mind that this is all from what I have been told from my coach's etc. Hope that helped.

| ^^^... This is totally true. Core muscles are SOO important when trying to get hops. Another thing is doing excerises that involve "exploding" motions. Going down slow and exploding upwards. Doing 50 to raises isnt sh*t. One thing about your calves is that you have to do reps and then cut down wait time to very short. Like do 50 reps and wait 30 sec. then do another 50 reps. and so on. Also ankle weights arent suggested by me. They can hurt your knees in the future. Also another fact about jumping is that no alot has to do with GENETICS.. so some will have to have more effort than others.. keep in mind. |

Hello friends.
I just need a little help with losing some weight. I'm 5'8, 154 lbs. I wouldn't classify myself as "fat", just a little on the "chubby" side. I'm trying to some weight. I think it's only my stomach that's making me look "chubby", as it is a little on the "big" side. I really don't know how it got this big. I'm trying to shed some weight on that particular area + lose some weight on the arms + thighs area as well (but then again, they aren't even that big). Overall, I'm just trying to achieve that "regular" looking body. I also plan to start lifting weights and start working out after losing all the weight that isn't needed. Is there any other way around this? I've heard about "turning the fat to muscle."
Oh, and I also find it hard to look for a place to work out. I am too young to drive so the gym is not even an option. I am basically looking for exercises that I could do without too much hassle, and the most effective. And I also have no clue about the "right things" that I have to eat. Maybe it's okay if I eat the same thing, but not that much of it? (I eat whatever is on the table) And what kind of foods should I avoid eating?
Thanks ahead of time.

Back exercises you say? Check out this link
http://www.exrx.net/Lists/ExList/BackWt.html
Everything you'll need to do, with a GIF on how to do them all...goes from your general back exercises to lats, trapz, to the rhomb...All of which you should be doing if you want that killer back. But the first 2 sections are the most general. |
