Can I lose weight by exercising and drinking only water without a restricting diet?

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010


I want to lose about 30-40lbs but I don’t want to do a restricting diet only to gain the weight back as soon as I reach my goal weight and stop dieting. Right now I eat between 1700-2100 calories per day and I use the elliptical machine for 35 minutes daily. For fluid intake, I am only drinking water. Can I still lose weight this way?

How can I optimize my weight training workout?

Monday, March 8th, 2010

My goals are size and strength.

I do both weight training and cardio – alternating 3 days weight training, 3 days cardio, and 1 day rest.

My weight training workout alternates between 3 sets each of two muscle groups, and then doing the same again but through different exercises, for a total of 12 sets per day, not including abs which are included in every weight training session. For example, one day might be 3 groups of BENCH – (quick rest) – CURLS, followed by 3 groups of CHINUPS – (quick rest) – FLYS.

Sets normally consist of about 12, 10, and 8 reps to fatigue.

Also, is muscle soreness a good indicator of resting that group that day?

For Size and strenght I would recommend bumping up the weight and lowering the reps. Move to more days of lifting and shift your cardio to interval speed training. Also shift your routine every 4-6weeks or whe you plateau.

My week currently consists of
MON: Chest/Tri
TUE: Lowerbody/Core
WED: Back/shoulders
THUR:Cardio/Core
FRI:Chest/Bi
SAT:Lowerbody/Core
SUN:OFF

Do 3-4 exercises for each muscle group, 5-10 reps per. your last rep (especially your last 2 sets) should be to the point of muscle failure. I like to pyramid the large muscles ie chest, quads, hams going form higher reps to lower and increasing wieght, somehting like a 8-5-5-3 with the last set at 90% of your 1RM.
You will want to take a longer break in between sets to let your muscles recover.

Also look into a good supplement stack. You need 1.5-2g of protein per pound of bdoy wight minimum, creatine is a good supp, as well as various amino acids such as glutamine, arganine, etc. Feed your body to grow.

Cardio move to a speed interval training…5 min wamrup and then 90seconds at 60-75% of max speed, then 30-60 seconds at 100%, then repeat for 5-8 reps, cool down. Don;t forget to work your entire core – not just abs and do not neglect your legs. squats and deadlifts are probably the two best all around lifts you can do, PERIOD! I don;t hit both on the same day, squat one, dead another.

You should be sore somewhat…but honestly your body should be adapting to the lifitng and soreness is minimal. If not you maybe be over training. Supplements will help with recovery time too.

How do you safely remove weight plates from a bench press bar?

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

I’m planning to start going to the gym alone and start bench pressing free weights. My question is how do I safely put weight on and take weight off a bar without the other side slamming to the ground as soon as the weight is uneven?

If you get an Olympic weight bar, I doubt you will have that problem unless you put more than one plate on at a time on each side. Seriously though, if you’re gonna do a home gym, you should use dumbells. You will earn much better tone and form.

What weight should i lift to build muscle and how much should i do it?

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

I’m 14.I now have a weight set up to 40 pounds. I want to build some muscle what weight would be the best for building muscle and how many reps should i do?

It actually depends on how long you have been working out and what you can comfortably work with.
When I was in the military the rule of thumb was this:

heavy weight+low reps=bulk

light weight+ high reps=cut/definition

For example:

Method One
HIGH/HEAVY WEIGHT WITH LOW REPS=BULK

If you decide to work out with a weight which may feel a little heavy your repetition and sets will be low. i.e. arm curls, 15lbs. of weight. you may only be able to do 5 curls at a time. Those 5 curls will be considered "a set" so you will have lifted a total of 75lbs in one set. But, each curl is considered a "rep"(repetition). Hence, 3 sets of 5 would be a total of 15 reps, and total weight would be calculated as:

15lbs.x5reps x 3sets for a total of 225lbs. OR 15lbs. x 5reps=75lbs.x3 sets=225lbs
This method will give you bulk and beef.

Method Two:
LIGHT WEIGHT WITH HIGH REPETITIONS

If 5lbs. is light to you, then you may be able to do 15 curls at a time. Then your "One Set" would consist of 15 reps(repetitions), and if you can do three sets of these it would be calculated as :

5lbs. x 15reps=75lbs x 3sets=225lbs. or 5lbs. x 15reps x 3sets=225lbs.

This method will give you cut and definition.

So, it isn’t so much in how "MUCH" weight you work with, but, "HOW" you work with it!
If you had an identical twin, who ate the same as you and worked out with the same amount of pounds as you, but he chose "Method One" and you chose "Method Two"; Than the both of you would have two different types of body styles.

The method you choose depends on what you want to do or be in life. If you want to maintain your speed and flexibility, you may not want to bulk up. However, if you want the body that will slow others in being quick to mess with you than you would want to sacrifice speed for security.

In any case, stay dedicated and natural to yourself. Stay away from steroids they will shorten the length of the manhood in your pants, as well, cause irreversible damage to your health. (I am not kidding!)

How to gain weight without increasing stomache fat?

Monday, March 1st, 2010

I find that when I gain weight I get stomache fat.
Its not very big but its larger then the rest of my body.
I am naturally thin so I want to be able to gain weight without gaining any stomache fat.
How can I do this? I am 21 and l’m planning to jog regularly, lift weights and eat a balanced diet.

you just answered your own question, cardio, lift weights (muscle weighs more than fat) and eat right. You need to increase your carbs, but only eat complex carbs. You should also eat alot of fish. Take a multi-vitamin supplement and do not eat junk food. Eat at least 5 times per day, breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, and then dinner before 7pm.

What weight loss program helps you detoxify and loss weight at a good rate?

Saturday, February 27th, 2010

I want to detoxify my body and loss weight healthily and rapidly. I want to lose 90 lbs by the end of the year.

I did fatloss4idiots diet plan and I lost about 50 pounds in not even 3 months. And I’ve kept it off for almost 2 years now. I found it to be the easiest diet because it pretty much told you what you could and couldn’t eat and you didn’t have to count points or anything like that. What I lost really isn’t typical for the amount of time I did it but I know others who have done it and they got really good results from it as well.

What weight exercises should i do at the gym to build a healthy body?

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

I want to build lean muscle, not bulky muscle. What are some good exercises I should do at the gym with hand weights. Not the weight machines, I already do those.

I am also looking to be very healthy, the problem is I have fructose intolerance, meaning I can’t have sugars and other sugar alcohols. I can’t have a lot of fruit and vegetables (like apples, they are mostly fructose) so I am left eating a lot of carbs and meats. Any ideas?

Hey,
I found a great diet plan on http://www.topfatburningtips.com that I am addicted to. It has everything I need and everyone I would want to eat.

No one is perfect and no one wants to stick to perfect food, but good food, so check it out.

How to lose weight without walking too much or running?

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

I am gaining weight by not doing much.I have had 3 surgeries on my knees.I have a degenerative bone disease and I cannot walk alot or run because its painful and will make it worse.I dont want to sit around and gain weight. I used to be very active.Just diesting is not doing much.Does anyone have any ideas on how to work out and lose weight without running or walking? Maybe a diet? HELP!

Get an indoor bike, if you ride casual, you will not put to much pressure on your knees – if you can! Diet should be protein based with vegetables. Get some dumbbells so you can do upper body training, shoulder press, arm curls, chest, back, triceps. You could do leg raises, squats using dumbbells in each hand (if you can), sit-ups for stomach.
