Question about weight lifting?

dude, i'm happy to help, but you have to take your picture off your little square. seriously.\nanyways, this is normal, your muscles are getting used to the stress you've put on them. you will probablly feel sore if you go really hard one day, but if you continue to work out everyday, it is normal, and GOOD not to feel sore after every workout.\nkeep it up!

actually you can start lifting weights right now.  there are two types of lifting toning and building.  If you want to stay thin then you lift light weights high reps low weight.  It'll put on some lean muscle.  Plus its not what you weigh its how you look and feel.  throw me some mail if u have any other questions about weight loss or weight lifting.

Do three whole body workouts a week. You body has a mechanism that keeps it within certain proportions so if you focus too much on one particular muscle group while neglecting the others your development may halt. \n\nHere's how to increase your strength:\n\n1. Use Creatine and HMB go www.bodybuilding.com and look them up.\n\n2. Make sure you are getting enough protein. Some people like to get 1 gram for every pound of bodyweight daily. Make sure to eat a large meal rich in protein right after your workouts.\n\n3. Make sure you get enough sleep.\n\n4. Every two weeks increase the weight on all your lifts by 10% . This works very well!\n\n5. Eat 5-6 small meals a day along with a good multi-vitamin.\n\nHere's a sample rountine:\n\nWORK OUT PROGRAM \n3 X WEEK\n\n\nLEGS\n\nSquat         3        x        8-12\n\nCHEST\n\nFlat Bench Press2x8\nFlyes2x8-10\n\nBACK\nPulldown2x10-15\nBent Over Rows2x6-10\n\nSHOULDERS\n\nSeated Overhead Press2x8-10\nUpright Rows2x10-15\n\nBICEPS\n\nStanding Barbell Curls2x5-9\n\nTRICEPS \nPressdowns2x10-15\n\nABS\n\nCrunches3x55\nLying Knee Raises2x30\n\nEvery two weeks increase the weight on all these lifts by 10%. It can be done on Mon,Wed,Fri or Tues, Thurs, Sat.\n\nI know it looks easy but give it a try. I've gotten great results from programs like this. Hope it helps!

Obviously you can still handle all the upper body weight lifting, especially on a weight machine.  Free weights could be dangerous, at least until you find out whether you need any additional procedures to insure stability.  Try not to get too Arnold and overexert yourself.  Remember, your body needs to focus resources on bone repair.  For cardio, how about a rowing machine?  \n\nSounds like you have the right attitude.  Who knows, you could come away from this setback even stronger than ever.\n\nKeep the calcium intake high while your bone is mending... and stay positive!

Weight lifting helps as long as it done in a manner that enhances acceleration, speed, etc...  Weight lifting only to get stronger will not make you a better athlete overall.  There are also many drills designed to specifically improve acceleration and starting speed/strength.  Check the link below for more information and explanations as to things that can be done...it is also designed specifically for basketball players.

At least five minutes of cardio first, then weights. If you want to do more cardio, then do it all before you lift.

Do squats, and forget the high reps, you want strong powerful quads so you can be a monster at your postion. 4-6 reps for squats\ndeadlifts\nshrugs\ndo these with your regular workout and you'll gain alot better and powerful, explosive muscles.\nAll these are to be done heavy

try the following:\n\n- lower the weights (cut down maybe 5 lbs and see if it makes a  difference and if it doesnt, go a bit lower)\n- do some warm ups before lifting (such as 10minute light jog)\n- stretch your arms for 5-10minutes after lifting

low reps with heavy weights........only way to add muscle to any part of the body.......try holding a weight in your hands on your chest thats heavy enough to only allow you to do 8-10 reps.........for any other body part i would suggest heavier.......for example when i bench press the weight has to be heavy enough for 4-6 reps.........no less than 4 and no more than 6.....\n\n\nso you should do them weighted.......slow and controlled..........keep the tension on your abs the whole time.......no less than 8 no more than 10........crunches and leg lifts are good too....

There are different forms of strength.  As you start weight training, you'll gradually learn what type of strength training program will give you the best results for your individual strength goals.\n\nHere's a great article on the different forms of strength and a way to calculate how you should be training.\n\nhttp://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/kelly2.htm

Lift heavy and only do a few reps like 3 or 4 and only do 3 or 4 sets. Make it hard to lift but not so heavy you can't.

Hi it sounds like you have a solid cardiovascular program going. Have you looked into purchasing a heart rate monitor?  \nWhen starting out lifting I always tell my clients lift moderately. Lift what you feel gives you a solid feeling. If you feel like your wimping out you probably are. If you feel like your arms going to fall off on the first day I'm betting your lifting to heavy. The goal is to build a varying routine that your body has trouble adapting to. While not killing yourself so you'll come back tomorrow. This type of lifting  will burn more calories, as well as help you gain strength and power faster. Id suggest you look at the book  The New Rules of Lifting. The have detailed workouts for any level of lifter, even the most novice. It has picture diagrams of all of its exercises and most importantly its workouts vary so your not just doing chest press and arm curls all the time. I hope this helps. Good luck!

You know this answer -- we all do.  But few have the discipline to do it.\n\n30 min to 1 hr of cardio and strength-training every other day.  Push to your own limit.  When lifting weights, use good form, slow and steady pace -- less weight and more reps for leaner, longer muscles -- heavy weights with reps to the very edge of fatigue for bulk.\n\nEat lots of fresh fruits and veggies, and avoid salt, trans-fats and processed foods.
