I was kidding. :)

Do you just have to be sore the next day to make your muscles grow? With or without weights?

This thread reminds me of EVOEVOLUTION. :(

A moment of silence.

How routine do I need to lose 30 lbs as safely as possible? Weight loss is the priority and then definition. Advice?

So if my pecs are sore for 2 or 3 days after I do pushups are they going to grow? Because people say pushups are more for endurance.

I'm guessing the increase of weight lifting threads = new years resolutions. Well good luck on your quest for fitness guys, my quest lies in the world..............

of warcraft. Don't tell me you didn't see that coming.

I am in need of a good at-home cardio workout video. I don't like going to the gym and I find I can't push myself enough on the treadmill enough to get a decent enough of a run. I used to have a 45 minute video that had various kinds of excersises and such. Something similar to that.

Interval training for your cardio + body weight exercises (pushups, pullups, chinups, dips, lunges, free squats, etc) =minimal chance of injuryrawsavon

I am assuming this is okay given my atrociously bad knees?

i wonder what kind of roid effects this guy has felt whomever it is.xbox360isgr8t

[QUOTE="Alacoque72"]

[QUOTE="rawsavon"] Being sore =/= muscle growth. Being sore goes along with muscle growth It is not the cause, but it is often (though not always) a side effect ...thus correlation, not causationStanley09

I did hear that black people tend to be genetically more prone to developing muscle in a few different places. It would require a lot of dedication either way.

Oh god, this reminds me of when I first got my weighted vest a few months ago. I loaded up the weight on it, and gave it a go with 80 pounds...
Never again.

What type of push-up would you consider for the equivalent of heavy lifting? diamond?

I squeeze my arms inwards hard as I do pushups. Is that enough to gain some mass? Is there any other things like that I can do with pushups?

[QUOTE="rawsavon"][QUOTE="Stanley09"] Pushups will definitely not help you gain mass, they are basically for endurance Baconbits2004

Weighted vests are great for all types. If you have a partner, you can have them stack weight on your back (used to have a gf sit on my back).
Also, there are different elevations and arm widths. Not to mention ones with odd motions (like dive bombers)

But yeah, diamond is great along with one arm ones.

There were no weight machines in ancient times...yet we have the statue of David...hmmmm...just saying

if pushups gave you just as good of a workout as weights, then why do so many people waste going to the gym when they can just do pushups at home?Stanley09
