Yes the most important step in working out is allowing your muscles time to heal after each workout. Whether thats a day or 2. Ive been told that 2 days are better for resting that particular part of your body after a good workout. Goodluck, and if u got the cash get a bowflex. I dont mind going to the gym because not only can u pose infront of the mirror (no im not concieted) but u get to check out and talk with some really hot chicks. And im not talking about the REALLY BUFF BUFF WOMEN that can bench press 2 cars, that The watcher gets with his popeye muscles.
You have to understand, I work out in my bedroom. After my Xbox, Ps2, PC, bed and desk (TV of course), theres not much room in there. I put the weights under my bed for storage. Then theres money, of which I ahve none. No blowflex.Originally Posted by Soldier
On Topic: I called around to some of the coaches at school. They're spilt 50/50 on it. Now that just pisses me off .

My friend has body building class trust me. 3-4 reps of 10-12 tones your mucles. 4 reps of 4-5 makes your mucles bigger not much debate about that. Of course if you do 1-2 lifts you aren't getting much out of it but if you follow that you should get what you want.
Sig above thanks to crusher
Just haul some fucking weights. If its too heavy, take some off it. If its too light, don't bother putting more on. I usually do whatever the person before me had done.
You're not going to build any muscles unless you do stuff past when it hurts. That's when anaerobic respiration kicks in and your muscles get little tears from the stress. It sounds weird, but that's what you want. Get some protein afterwards, and it goes straight to repairing your muscles and adding some more.
I'm not an expert...but I believe the above is very poor advice...Originally Posted by Ah Pook

Ok, as far as I know you will most likely have more than sufficient protein unless you do HEAVY bodybuilding (learned of this stuff in nutrition). And just getting protein afterwards doesn't really matter because it's not going to just instantly absorb...Originally Posted by Ah Pook
If your body hurts and you keep going then you might lead to injuries...ones that could be serious.
There, I gave an explanation.
Ah Fook is right. You have to go past the pain barrier for muscle growth to occur. Maybe like maximum 5.
what i remember from high school is that:
low weight high reps= toned muscle
high weight low reps= big muscle
and ya need to eat healthy too
If you're trying to build muscle volume, then yes, more wheight and less reps. 40 reps is just too much. I'd say do 20 or 15, maybe 10 of something challenging. Try to push it 10/20 pounds every week or so, or you can pick up the pace if you can handle it. Drink lots of water, eat plenty of egg/meat/fish/poultry, and get a lot of breathing/cardiovascular exercise and a lot of sleep and your muscles will build very nicely.
Schwarzenaegger also reccomends "posing as an exercise". As ridiculous as it may sound, it works. After your muscles are tired from working out, contract them(without wheights) as hard as you can and hold the post for 20-30 seconds. You'll be much more tired, but your muscle tissue will slowly get used to that and start growing beefier and harder. Another way is to do the "posing as exercise" before wheightlifting/pushups/etc. The exercise will be much harder then, but it'll help build your muscles faster...
I agree with Xaenn, I don't think that training until it hurts is a good idea. Now you do want a good burn, but that really shouldn't hurt too much. Foxhound has the right idea. I wouldn't go more than 4 sets on one excercise, I usually do three sets of whatever exercise I am doing for about 8-12 reps.
