is push ups the one were u stand on your hands and feet and go up and down all the time?
if so, i do those things standard 50 every day (started with 20 like a year ago) and im not muscled at all. so anyone know how to really build muscles without those weights etc?
push ups pull ups. just 1 year isnt enough. hehe, i know that, i hate weight lifting. i use 10 pounds dumbbells sometimes, but thats about it. WL so unhealthy, ur heart gettin fucked up. people who do weights as esko said 1-3 times r strong, yeah, but they cant do shit, like for example in a fight they can do 1-3 strong hits, tho probably miss, and then they re done- they r tired. people who work with small weights & pushups pullups can fight mad nice-.-
that has to be the most idiotic statement anyone has ever said. agonyrush its obvious u are completely clueless to this topic. anyways push ups do serve a good purpose. it builds ur stablizer muscles, eliminates any weak links u might have outside the major muscle groups. but dont expect to get big off of push ups. |

I would just go to the fitness centre. People really don't laugh there or something if you only use the light weights. In the begin you suck at it but you will notice that if you go 3 times a week you will grow very fast.
Only pushups etc will not build up any muscle. I suppose you want to muscle up for the ladies so you you better get over the shy part and showing yourself in the fitness centre could be a good thing  Really, not everybody there is a hotshot.. I say just check out some different ones and look which one you feel most comfortable in, the supersized men typicly go all to the same centre.
Also advice from an instructor can be very good, i dont know your age but especially when you are still growing it's important to be adviced because you must not overtrain. |

Take it from a guy in the Army Reserves.
You know how many pushups I've done while I was in basic?! Granted pushups arn't the best way of targeting and stimulating your muscle groups, they help to build leaner muscle. They target your chest (mostly), your upper back, and do work your abs (but not very much).
The best way is go to a gym and lift weights on a regular basis, or else go out and buy The Crossbow from www.thecrossbow.com. I bought one after I got home from basic and I love it  .Last edit: 2003-09-11 19:40:48 |

take it from a guy that does boxing and martial arts
push ups make you very strong but you dont get muscles to show to the ladies.
And I would really really advise not to use weights under 16/17. They do dmg your body and they do stop you from groing. If you want to work on your body and you are not 16 yet train with your own weight and do more exercises for your condition instead of your muscles.
And people who train just to get big muscles are  |

| Well i dont want big muscles at all, just being strong statisfies (huk, my english sucks) me. I think too much muscle is ugly, all i care about is just being strong and a nice looking chest. Also how much does a regular fitness centrum cost? Last edit: 2003-09-11 20:32:53 |

| I've been going to the gym for a while and me along with some of the other stronger guys usually take it as a compliment when a beginner asks us for help or advice. By no means is anyone going to make fun of anyone for anything. Just make sure you read up alot because weight training is an exstensive subject and their is alot to learn about. Just going to the gym, or just lifting weights will have minimal effects, you need to keep many things in mind. Too various for me to type out now because I am lazy. Last edit: 2003-09-11 21:08:41 |

the guys who have 'ugly' muscles are guys who take steroids.
Trust me, you won't get that when you go to the gym a couple of times.
Casper is 100% correct. The guys there don't care one bit how you look. Just concentrate on yourself.
I don't think you'll get a nice chest without using weights.
pushups may help, but it won't be that impressive.

Push ups do not make u a muscle man (Schwarzenegger), they rather make u a fit man (jackie chan), and they do not affect your back at all(pull ups do) they affect triceps(elbows close to body) or chest (elbows wide apart.
Sultan, how the fuck will I become huge if I bench press 15-20% of my weight (that's like 10-16 kgs) I bp 110% now, if I go back to 20% I'll just lose my shape, thus you should count how many reps and sets you do, not bodyweight?
and it's absolutely ok to work out with weights if you are 15 (my former classmate bench presses 50x12 when he was 14(he was 5'9" then; he's 6'3" now)) the key here is some advice from older and experienced guys: don't be a slightest bit afraid to ask for help - if a person is not a complete arsehole he will introduce you to all the necessary exercises and most probably provide you with a routine.
and you surely should visit some site// get a bodybuilding magazine//book
my 2 cents

while we're at it, does anybody know the difference between regular push ups and the diamond ones (where your hands are close together like a diamond).
i know it works out something specific in the chest, but i just dont know. |

What strafe said.
You can also push wider than usual. Both of these gives more effect. |

If you dont want to do weight lifting and you just want to get in shape you should just have a good diet. Alot of cereal, proteins and try not to eat any fat. Run everyday around 6 or 7 PM cuz thats the best time to do it. When you get older and stop growing ur muscles will grow by themselves.
I go to the gym only like once every 2 weeks. That does nothing to your muscles, I only go because I want to try myself out. I am 17 and I year ago I could not lift in chest 30 Kg. Now just by eating right and practicing sports that train your lungs I can pull a maximum of 80 kg in chest. For weightlifters it is nothing but you still get thick.
Push-ups and pull-ups must be done everyday. |
