You have to restrict your diet to cut fat. There are 2 different methods. You can cut slow and build muscle at about half your current rate. Or you can cut fast and build little to no muscle. \n\nFor the first option cut your carbs down to 50 a day or so but keep your calories up. Do high intensity interval training a couple days a week. Still eat the 1.5 grams of protein per pound and have the whey protein shakes and do the hardcore lifting like you are bulking. This will cut your rate of muscle building in half but you will lose fat too.\n\nFor option two eat 20 carbs per day and get at least 1 gram of protein per pound of weight if not more. Eat about 500 calories below your standard maintenance level. Have the whey shakes if you can, do as much weight lifting as you can, but it you have to lower the intensity a little it is ok. Do high intensity interval training every day you don't lift. The high protein will spare your muscle mass and you might even gain just a bit. You'll cut fat pretty quick though.

Diet is very important. As stated before, lots of protein. Try to eat 1-1/2 grams per pound of body weight. Also, make sure you eat good carbs and good fat. The carbs will fuel your body, and the fat helps you produce hormones needed for muscle growth.\n\nOn top of this, of course, is exercise. Lift heavy weights. You need to overload the muscle to promote growth. Also, get plenty of rest, and drink lots of water.

Doing lots of push-ups is impressive but it won't make you ripped.  It will help with endurance but you need to combine it with lifting weights or resistance training.  Arm curls, bench press, etc.  If you don't have access to the bench press get dumbbells and do a dumbbell press.  You can sit in a chair or anywhere to lift free weights.  They're not too expensive until you start getting up to the heavy ones which might take awhile since you're 110 pounds.  (No offense intended.)

Just think on how fat you can get, and all the work you'll have to do to loose that extra.\n\nYou R what you eat

cardio is the way to go try to get up to 1 hr a day,  run , jumping rope or a bike ride like a 10 speed in low gear .  Eat more veggies\nand don't cut out carbs totally just have small portions of them.\nYou body will burn more calories from working out everyday and if you eat balanced meals your body should start burning your stored energy (fat) try to stay away from fat in foods so the fat that gets broken down for energy is from your body and not your diet.  the only way to speed up your body's calorie intake is a high cardio  work out push ups and crunches too and remember to eat veggies for snacks when I train hard I'm always hungry and don't want to get a bad habit of loading up on junk after working so hard. Another thing is having high protein in your diet to aid in the development of muscle tissue that will in turn burn more cals. Stay away from the scale, drink plenty of water and if your not sweating heavy your not working hard enough. Good Luck

Increase your carb and calorie intake, as well as your protein intake.  Eat 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight.  The extra calories you take in will aid in muscle recovery and give you the energy to get through grueling workouts.  If you want to look shredded and cut then watch your calories and carbs, but if you want to be strong and be able to throw around 100lb dumbels then follow my advice.

You better be huge if you expect to make it on 4.8. You need to cut that a lot to be a DB/WR. Fortunately you are young enough to build speed and will add size in the next few years. Start by developing your leg and mid body strength. Squats and olympic lifts are the most effective. Also work a speed building regimine. There are classes and camps that focus on this if you can afford them. Other wise get online and find one. It should definately include sprints and jumps. Otherwise take care of your body, and play lots of ball. Good luck.

Presumably you don't want to be fat, but bigger.  So I recommend lifting as heavy weights as you can, do the protien thing, and build up your muscle.  Now also keep in mind that this takes a long time.... so I guess if you want to gain wait quick...\n\nDrink Starbuck\neat McDonalds\nwatch too much tv

Either eat a lot, or do a lot of squats. If you want it to be fat, then eat a lot and if you want it to be muscular...do the squats.

As a Marine, we worked out a lot and once I completed my contract in 2000, I continued to work out.  The best way to build and get ripped is:\n\n1. Take Creatine-We take Muscle Tech "Cell-Tech"\n2. A good source of whey protein-I use Optimum Nutrition Whey\n3. A good burner like Muscle Tech "Hydroxycut"\n4. Multi-vitamin every morning\n5. Remember at least 8 glasses of water a day\n6. Try to get 8 hours of sleep a night for muscle recoop\n7. Don't forget about you diet!  Eat good proteins like chicken and fish, vegetables and stay away from sugars.\n8. To trim up and tone- Do light weight, high reps (12-15 reps per set)\n    To bulk and build-Do heavy weight, low reps(8-10 reps per set)\n\nDo 1-2 muscle groups a day.  Example:\nMonday-Chest and legs\nTuesday-Tricepts and forearms\nWednesday-Shoulders\nThursday-Bicepts and back\nFriday-Mix it up\nWeekdend-Relax!\n\nTRY THIS SITE AND CUSTOMIZE A WORKOUT!\nhttp://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/workoutdatabase.htm

Hmm ok well bit of an odd question, but...\n\nI used to be weak as a kid - my brother used to beat up on me a lot. And then I grew, and started doing weights - not much, but a little. Try starting with press ups - do 10, then rest for 30 seconds, then 10 more, then rest for 30 seconds, then last 10. As these get easier, do more - or if too hard, do less.\n\nDo some running - it will build up your leg muscles. Aim to be able to run for 30 minutes without stopping, at least 3 times a week.\n\nDo some sit ups - same regime as for press ups.\n\nPractice stretching - this will help your muscles be more supple and grow a little.\n\nThe important thing to remember is that size does not equal strength. Look at Bruce Lee - he wasn't huge, but was very strong, and a great fighter.\n\nAs for fighting - practice your balance - stand on one leg for 10 seconds, then the other, then for longer, and vary how you stand - othe rleg in front, behind, to the side.\n\nOnce you've developed your balance a bit, look for your natural stance - try standing with your feet shoulders width apart, and with one leg twice that distance in front of the other. Bend your front leg at the knee, and keep your back leg straight. Practice walking from one way to the other like this, whilst keeping both feet as close to the floor as possible. This will build up your ability to move from fighting stance to fighting stance. Stance will help you keep your balance and add more power to defense and attack moves.\n\nOnce you've got balance and stance sorted, start practicing punching by doing the stance/walk, and punching with the same hand as the leg that is moving forwards. This is a pretty hard punch as, when done right, it will throw all your weight behind it.\n\nBasically it all takes time, but if you start with balance, general fitness, and stance, everything else will follow.\n\nBut don't fight, its not worth it.\n\nIf you want further advise, feel free to mail me.\n\nAnd seriously think about joining a self defence club. The best fighters I know don't fight a lot, they have discipline, and will only fight when it is really needed.

I used to be a personal trainer.  Start working with weights to build muscle.  You don't want to be the HULK but just trust me on this.  Increase protein, wheat bread, some more fats (but good fats).  Try jelly on toast, extra virgin olive oil will be good for you.  Egg whites.  Please don't eat right before you go to bed like the other person told you.  Big breakfast is important.

Very smart, excellent plan.\n\n-Drink lots of water.\n-Try to get away from "three square meals" in favor of 4-6 smaller ones.\n-Substitute fruit for dessert.\n-Cut back on dressings, cheese, and/or substitute lower fat/calorie alternatives.\n-Do something you enjoy outdoors.  Go for walks, run, bike, swim, whatever.  Anything you will do at least 3 hours per week will help.\n-Cut back alcohol intake.\n-Treat yourself to a "cheat day" every week.  Don't go hog wild, but enjoy something you like to eat.\n\nYou don't have to exercise every day.  Go for walks at lunchtime when at work.  Walk the dog.  Be in motion.  Have fun.\n\nYou can do it.  Take it slow.  Be prepared for possible weight gain if you add muscle.  You will lose inches and feel better no matter what.
