You're on my watch list P-funk ... not my advise list. I lurk on your posts to learn, and it's helped out a good bit.

Thanks for that BTW.

Thank you

Fat doesn't turn into muscle and muscle doesn't turn into fat. They are different chemical make-ups.

Read the stickies in the diet section and develop a plan that ensures you are intaking the proper amount of calories to get you to your goals.

Train smart.

ffb22n · 01-21-2008, 08:34 PM

I read all of that. And I have one question Would it be alright for my to do hypertrophy one week and then strenght the next or is that just gonna mess things up and make it so I don't reach either goal>?

ff. I am in my first week and so far I have been hitting the gym every day.. Well you guys are the experts let me know how hard should I be training.

michaelabney · 04-19-2008, 01:36 AM

I like your blogs, but i need to add some notes. Everyone knows that "Health is wealth". Health is not valued till sickness comes. So better take care of your health. If you want to prevent your health from illness and make it strong...join some fitness clubs. By the way, here is a websites which you can find lot of information about fitness and health.

Mini Dee · 05-07-2008, 03:43 PM

Wait, so if I were to increase the speed at which I perform my squats my explosiveness would improve?

And on a side not, anyone familiar with Kyphosis and the muscles which need to be developed in order to see improvement. I have this exercise which is on tape and I need to do them in order to see improvements. The problem is: its damned boring and wanna do something through weight lifting which would still help me.

denire · 06-07-2008, 09:42 PM

whoa! this is a nice thread that you post here. I am a newbie in bodybuilding or should i say i am about to start. Good tips that you shared here. I'll give it a try. Thanks.

heliboy · 07-16-2008, 08:46 PM

Quote:Studies on rep ranges suggest that reps 1-5 are best for strength gains, 6-12 for hypertrophy (muscle growth), and 12-15(20) for endurance.

So is this to say that if I lift very heavy weights 5 reps/set I'm not going to build muscle and only get strength gains???

Note the words "best for".

Thanks for sharing this tips

lgmo · 11-05-2008, 07:50 PM

There are many different workouts for different goals, and there are many different variations to each workout to gain a different goal. Easy example, doing a lot of sets and high repetitions with lighter weights will define muscles, whilst doing the exact same exercise but doing a lower amount of sets and less repitions with an increased amount of weight will build muscle bulk. There are many different variations. For people just getting started or to actually see what to do to gain their desired outcome, i recommend having a look at Fitness Freaks Info - Sports Fitness and Exercise - Everything you need to know about Fitness , it has a lot of useful information...

gettingripped · 01-13-2009, 05:50 PM

Ok so i basically do my own routine and everything at school, even though i dont do all the stuff you say, its not like me working out for 1 and a half hours 3 days a week isnt going to not help me right, even if i dont do all that im still going to build muscle right?!?!

Herculess · 01-19-2009, 01:01 AM

what is 5x5 program...

Mark1969 · 01-21-2009, 10:13 PM

I'm not what u would call a newbie because I used to train regularly when I was younger. However it's been years since then and I feel like I'm starting over. anyway i like what you wrote, it has helped me to keep my goals small and reachable until my body remembers.

Thanks

KJROLLTIDEROLL9 · 02-01-2009, 01:04 PM

i do 2 full body workouts a week..and rest for the other 5 day

football11f · 02-02-2009, 05:55 PM

This is good information.

neonebula2001 · 02-02-2009, 10:17 PM

I notice that every Monday I am craving weight training. I rest on the weekend because I work and then do a M/W/F total body workout. I am up to 15 pounds with most dumbell exercises and 30 pounds with the curl bar for shrugs and curls. I can tell I am getting stronger.

SHould I stay in the 6-12 rep range for hypertrophy until I get the size I want? Or should I alternate it with 10-15 for endurance and strength.

44phil · 02-02-2009, 10:25 PM
