Not if you pull them.  However as this is in Diet maybe you mean mussels???

yes but having muscle causes you to burn more energy, so it helps burn the fat. if you want to look better, or be a better athlete you dont just want to lose fat but gain muscle too. its not your weight that matters, but your fat that is bad. also diets can become less effective because your body learns to use less energy, but if you excersize, you keep using energy and it makes your diet more effective. do both.

Whey is a good source of protein, protein is necessary for healthy muscles and is particularly benificial if you regularly work out.  It is estimated that most people need about 1-1.5 grammes of protein per pound of body weight each day, if you don't think that you are getting this from your normal diet then supplementing with whey protein shakes will be beneficial.

None of them are good, except the ones the body makes during and after exercise sessions.  Do not try to do body building the easy way.

peppermint. you havent answwered the question.\n\nyes you can gain significant musclemass from bodyweight exercises. as long as you do the right exercises and eat enough protein to gain mass.\nMens health magazine always has bodyweight exercises and they are great.\nalso 'death by bodyweight'\nI was travelling for 9 months and it was hard to get to a gym and spent those months doing bodyweight training. very good.

when i think of being "fit" and "fitness" i think muscular, tone, athletic, etc. Being healthy is completely different. People who are not necessarily tone or athletic can definitely still be healthy.  Eating right and exercising moderately will make you healthy for sure!

It builds muscle endurance. i do not care for it though, i think it really has the potential for overuse injury.\n\nHOWEVER< I ma all for weight training  for women, so if you enjoy it, do it because weight training is extremely important for women to maintain muscle mass and preserve bone density.

They work well for the shoulders, but they mainly build the trapezius muscles (between the neck and shoulder). If you're trying to bulk them up, I would increase the weight a little so you're doing about 6-8 reps with a little struggle.

no, infact they are good for you.

i dont think so.  i think they are pretty much genetic because i have seen people who are in good shape that have them.

I take a multi-vitamin daily and I notice the difference when I miss a dose. Vitamins are a good dietary supplement if your diet is poor in vitamin-rich foods. But to specifically build muscle you need lots of protein. Chicken is a good source of protein if you like it (I don't mean the deep-fried stuff either). Good luck!

Yes, love carbs!  Without them you'll have a hard time gaining muscles.

at your age, it is good to weightlifting, but i'll recommend using your own body weight compared to using weights. This is because you improve your agility and balance, and at the same time, increase your strength tremendously. Have you wondered why most gymnast are very strong and have nice muscle definition? Well, its because they use their own body weights in training, and with the aid of gravity, you should become stronger, without risking any injuries be it short term or long term. Exercises such as push ups, chin ups, handstands and stabilizers all strenghthen your core, and allows you to build muscle. If you want more definition, combine your exercises with some light cardio, for that chiseled look.

HAND WEIGHTS ARE GOOD.  JUST REMEMBER, ONCE YOU TEAR DOWN YOUR MUSCLES, YOU HAVE TO LET THEM REJUVINATE FOR A DAY BEFORE TEARING THEM DOWN AGAIN.\n\nGOOD LUCK.

depends how much weight you use and how many reps you do. its good to do a lot of reps at lower levels and work up gradually to heavier weights to avoid injury and build muscle steadily

Any exercise is good. :) Walking, biking, rowing, swimming are all fairly low impact and develop lean muscle.

It's not always about muscles, but you should work out your arm and leg muscles...run up and down stairs that will get you strong leg muslces and about lifting weights just lift as much as you can and gradually add more wieght.  Also practice shooting, and arm-bars because i have seen many wrestlers get really good because of those two moves.  Good Luck
