Wow, working out ****

Well good luck, i lift sometimes.

i lift 4 times a week, i used to get sore the first couple of weeks but now im used to it. Piece of advice, make sure you do different excercise than just bi curls tri extensions and benching, ull look wierd only working out your upper body and arms when u have skinny hams (legs) /no back muscles, TRUST ME i kno. also, run a mile aftr or b4 u work out ull see more changes on your body, many ppl mistake running asa way to get skinny, it gets you lean and cut not skinny. ask a trainer for help/tips or u can just look at the excercises that he does with his trainees and copy them for no cost =P thats what i do.

To tell you how much i changed when i first workd out i was FAT, like really fat (ppl used to call me the brick wall) now im lean cut and ppl call me d-flex, yes i kno its a stupid name but it just boosts my confidence. lifting raises ur self esteem as well and the good endorphins in your body are let out aftr u work out....dam i wrote alot sry i have more to say but im pretty sure u didnt read all this neway =(

I work out every other day for a couple of hours

I like working out.

I dislike gyms full of people.

What the hell kind of workout was that, you need to work muscle groups not all different muscles in one day,

do

Chest/Back

Arms

Shoulders

Legs

with a day or 2 of rest in between, when you work arms you do triceps first and move onto biceps, and no matter what muscle group you are doing you should do about 4-5 exercises for each muscle. You could change it up a bit but make sure you do groups, trust me i have been working out for over 8 years and just recently got my one max rep on bench to 415. if you dont believe me look at some websites and magazines they'll give you good tips.

As i've said, I wasn't done yet. I just did squats. And I am going back out soon to do military press, upright rows, and one armed rows. I do everything one day, and take longer breaks in between. Also, I am getting help from people who know their stuff, namely my dad who played football in highschool and who was plenty strong, plus teachers and coaches (the coach can also bench over 400lbs).

EDIT: I actually sort of misquoted myself there. I am doing every body part today, just to get a benchmark for everyting.

No, I'm not sore yet. Just tired. Being as I used all of my strength. For instance: When I'm not too tired, I can do 200lbs twice. After my workout, I could barely manage to do 135 twice, a weight I could otherwise do upwards of 15-20 times. My upper body is no longer dead, but after doing squats, my legs are.Manly-manly-man

That means you had a good workout. After you're done working out, you should feel that way. It feels good though.

I enjoyed weightlifting when I played basketball last year.

I didn't try out this year though due to lazyness:P

I lift weights in my weight training class every morning. And boy do I hate it.LouieV13

I rarely lift weights. Just mainly play sports liek football.edd678

I lift 5 times a week. Lifting heavy makes me feel good.smokeydabear076

I used to lift weights, but my dad kicked all of my equipment out of his garage into this shed, and that shed got infested by like 50,000 giant wasps which I tried to kill and failed miserably...LOL Now it's too cold out there...

Anyway, my thoughts on lifting...Don't use creatine...LOL I did for awhile, but I had the powder form which made me feel really nasuous while lifting which was probably dangerous..

Now I resort to marathon sessions of DDR on Xbox (really nice, I can burn 500+ calories in one session), and hacky sack while listening to music... It works for me.

Sort of. Sort of not. I haven't worked out for a long while, so today I decide to start working out again. I only do three excercises: bench press, bicep curl, and tricep extension. After doing these three excercises, my arms are completely wiped out. That is the bad part. But it feels sort of good, as well. Sort of like BDS....Uh, nevermind. Basically, what are your thoughts on lifting heavy weights, or even just lifting light weights?Manly-manly-man

weird i started lifting again today for the first time in months, i think its a good way to stay in shape (since i dont play any real sports)and have a good bod, and it def. helps if u have to beat some1s a$$

If you work out young does it stunt your growth?flawlesscoope

No, if you don't work out young it stunts your growth....

What? I'm 14 and want to know if it really does stunt your growth beacause I play basketball and need all my height. I heard lifting weights on your muscles makes you short is that true?flawlesscoope

I lift weights 3-4 times a week or play racquet ball with my friend when I don't lift.

It feels good, although can really tire you out.

Anyway I took a break from lifting Thanksgiving week and this week I feel like I was hit by a truck or something, it's a good feeling though. Lifting is weird like that.
