What exercise gets you the most muscle fastest?

David's advice isn't really correct and there's a good chance his 60 second strategy will cause an injury that would really slow you down.\n\nI played college football, so for 8 months of every year my life revolved around building muscle and getting stronger and faster.  To build muscle fast work on your core lifts.  I would recommend doing deadlifts, hang cleans, shoulder press, and bench press for 3 sets of 6 reps.  Do these 3 times per week.  \n\nOn 2 of your off days work on cardio.  Ever notice how ripped out sprinters are?  I'd do what our strength coach used to call "Running the Scale."  It's a series of sprints where you go 100 yards for 10 sprints, 80 yards for 8 sprints, 60 yards for 6 sprints, 40 yards for 4 sprints, and 20 yards for 2 sprints.  Rest for 1 minute after each sprint.  This will just about kill you and if you run as hard as you should you'll puke at least once your first few times, but it will get you ripped.\n\nDo the "Scale" one day and on the other cardio day do two 300 yard shuttle runs.  In a shuttle run you'll run from the goal line to the 50 yard line and back 3 times trying to make the whole trip in under 45 seconds. \n\nThose workouts are not for everyone.  They're from a very tough college football strength and conditioning program put together by professional strength coach.  Push yourself when you're doing them but realize that it's going to take time to build yourself up.  \n\nLastly, eat and drink lots of protein.  Try to get at least 1.5 grams per lb of body weight.  My favorite is Isopure Low Carb Chocolate.  It's 50 grams of whey per serving and it actually tastes good.\n\nWork hard and good luck!

The most fat burning exercise would be something that moves your arms and legs at the same time. An olyptical (a cardiovascular machine) is one of the most calorie-burning exercise machine i know of. If that can't be found nearby, deffinately go swimming a lot.

The body doesnt use one type of fiber exclusively in anything-it has three.  Very slow, which are highly vascularized and have amazing endurance, intermediate, which are sort of a mix, and fast, which are explosive-but, to some degree all are involved in anything. For any given movement, such as grabbing a handhold and pulling yourself up, and holding yourself, the fractions of the different fibres being used would change from second to second.  But, the thing is, which fibres can be trained more?  For slow fibres, an excellent overall cardiovascular fitness regimen is sufficient-you dont need to do anything specifically for the arm and shoulder muscles for slow fibres.  The best weightlifting regimen for this kind of sport is explosive speed/strength training, in which you use 30-50% of the maximum weight you can lift (for any given movement), and accelerate it quickly through as large a range of motion as you can-  It takes some months to build up to a really fast acceleration, because this training has a potential to cause muscle tears and joint damage (just like strength training of any kind).  Stretching is also very good for speed/strength, but *never* stretch to the point of pain-it significantly weakens the muscle for hours afterwards.

Endurance exercise can help improve both speed and strength. Do each of the follow for minute and march in place for a minute keeping the knees lifted inbetween each move.\n\nPretend Jump Shot - lead with the left foot first and then the next minute lead with the right\n\nShuffle back and forth three steps to each side and stay low like you are almost squatting\n\nQuick Feet - the legs wide run in place as fast as you can while staying lower in a squat-like position\n\nJump Rope\n\nLateral Leaps - pick up the right leg leap to the right and then back to the left\n\nTire Jumps - leading with the right foot step forward like you are stepping into a tire and then bring the left foot forward, right foot back and left foot back. be sure to really pick up the feet (remember up over the tire) and pick up the pace to a run and than switch the next minute so your left foot is leading

I would work your legs and your abdominals in the gym. Squats, power cleans and calf raises will provide explosion and power for your legs. This explosion then translates into speed adn quickness. Your abs are your central core power, strong ables will allow you to be more stable and more aggressive. Run a lot to keep in shape, when you are late in the game and are in better shape then your competition, you can dominate.

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

You get BETTER AGILITY by working out with excercises which INCREASE quickness and balance! Once you do an excercise you keep working to get quicker and MORE EFFICIENT. Depends on the kind of agility you want: Football, Basketball, Baseball etc...

Hi, I'm a personal trainer and fitness coach. The best way to build enduarance is with "interval training". By that I mean, start with a slow walk and increase your speed every 3 minutes. If you were doing a walk run interval it would look like this: warm-up 2.5 mph, 3 minutes, then go to 3.0 for 3 minutes, then 3.5, then 4.0, then 4.5.  At the "top" of the interval, do an all out sprint as hard as you can go for 30-60 seconds, then drop back to your second interval speed (in this scenario, 3.0 mph). The speed will vary, of course, and with progress you will start at a higher speed. It is the fastest way to gain speed AND power simultaneously while helping you to develop explosive run and endurance. You would repeat the intervals until you've been working 30 - 45 minutes, then cool down and stretch very well. Deep stretches will speed up your recovery time by allowing blood to flow more freely to the muscles.  Also, because this type of training causes muscle damage (necessary for growth) you should consider taking up to 1000 IU of vitamine E after the workout to improve muscle repair. Only do this training every OTHER day. On the days between, you should do easy jogs for "active recovery".

Keep it mixed and varied, that way your body isn't bored and you get fitter and slimmer at a faster rate. Running is good too. Pilates is excellent for the core muscles and overall strength, although it's difficult at first.\n\nHave fun.

I was never faster than the summer I did lots of weight training. the added muscle will help protect your joints too.

For speed, do calf raises. All you need to do is stand on stairs with your heels dangling off the edge. Do 3 sets, starting at 25 a set and working your way to 50. This will also improve your quickness and jumping. \n\nFor balance, try doing squats and situps. Situps will improve your core strength and help stabilize you.\n\nFor hand eye coordination practice playing catch.\n\nAnother fun way to do all of these at once is to play tennis. Even without a partner, hitting against a wall will improve all three areas.\n\nGood luck.

Do power jumps. Setup a few levels that total in height 3 to 4 feet. Then in each hand hold 5 pound weights and jump on top of these levels, then step down. Repeat this for about 30 minutes. Next, go to the gym and work on your calf muscles. Using the calf machine will make your calves stronger. Don't over do it, you want to have lean muscles, not heavy. Then go the machine that works out your legs. I ts the one where you lay on your back and you lift the weights with just your legs and feet. The goal is to get explosive jumping. If you can beat a guy to the rim by jumping faster, then it doesn't matter how high he jumps.\n\nHave fun.

A great way to increase jumping ability is to lift. Squats and calf raises are the best for jumping. Start out slow and work for power. Once you get that down, work on speed. Do the same lifts, only faster. This helps your leg muscles to work more quickly. You don't want to work on jumping as much because it weakens your legs. Do more with weights to work out your legs and become more powerful. A great magazine to check out is called Stack. It can answer many of your athletic questions.
