Thanx! I appreciate everything you've done for me and everyone else

okay
what you have should work and i'm almost finished the muscle buidling site to help you build muscle faster
My main goal is to build muscle as fast as possible without getting fat in the process
Mike T
That's fine but what is your main goal?
Ok thanks I'll do that split. What do you think of this workout:
Monday(back, biceps, and legs)- Pull-ups, hammer curls, and deadlifts
Tuesday(chest and shoulders)- wide grip bench dips, handstand push-ups
Friday(biceps and triceps)- chin-ups, barbell curls, narrow grip bench dips, and tricep pressdowns
Mike T
Do chest and shoulders same day
do back and biceps same day
do smaller tricpe and biceps on same day
Hey Adrian...I just want your opinion and any suggestions on my muscle building workout. My split is going to be:back and triceps on monday, chest and biceps on tuesday, and legs and shoulders on friday.
I want to incorporate bench presses, military presses, barbell curls, handstand push-ups, pull-ups, and deadlifts in my routine but I can't think of a split which involves those exercises without overtraining
Jordan H
both are good and YES...
try to change up your workouts every 4 weeks
Are narrow grip bench presses just as good as bench dips?
Should i rotate them every two weeks?
Seth
Nothing.
It may help you recover but sticking to the basics of working out intensly and eating enough protein = muscle growth
What does drinking a high sugar drink do after your workout for muscle growth?
Nate
To tone without much muscle mass gain = 12-15+ reps with lighter reps and a low number of sets
I want to tone my muscles but I'm unsure on what rep ranges to do. I read that 3-5 reps build strength which tones your muscles. It makes sense.
But I've also read that cam gigandet did 20-30 reps for his exercises to get cut.
What im asking is what is the proven rep range for tone?
thank you this one look much better

Nesh

* sorry for the long question
Robbie
The main point is...
You'll need to shoot for low bodyfat in order to see your abs and losing fat + working on your abs will help that
Should i go for toned abs or muscular abs?
I heard that building muscle in the abs changes the shape in them.(I don't know if that is true tho)
Is it true that if you add muscle to your abs they show at a higher body fat percentage?(10-12% for example)
Nolan
You maintain your muscle by keeping them active while under resistance so basically...
As long as you do not become totally lazy for a long period of time - you wont lose any muscle you gained
Is there any way i can maintain my muscle without having to lift so many days a week,and eat tons of protein?
Should I lift heavy for like3-5 reps a week?
If you can show me an example of split workout with plenty of days rest between muscles that would be great!
max
It means both but your obliques won't get HUGE unless you are lifting heavy combined with a mass gaining diet
Its me again. I started doin renegade rows to tone up my obliques and core.
I was sore after doing them for the 1st time. Does this mean that im building muscle in the obliques(which is not what i want), or does it mean that im just not used to the exercise?
Thanks again!!
yea its probably just fat and some muscle. Thanks Adrian
Max
Are you sure it's all muscle?
Maybe you have some fat you can lose around that area to make it slimmer
muscle shrinks only from inactivity
I want to lose muscle in my obliques because i don't want to have a blocky waist look.
I know this sounds stupid but is there a way to lose muscle in the obliques?
I just want to tone them without an increase in size

Is there a way to gain muscle, burn fat, and maintain the same weight?
If there is can you show me how or send me a link to a workout plan like that?
yea your totally right. Thanks for the reply and all your help
Josh
It could be more accurate but truthfully...
Unless you're doing an underwater or caliper test - you are never going to get A dead on accurate %
Its me again. Thanks for the reply i have one more question
do you think the second bf% calculator is a more accurate guess?
I don't wanna pay for the underwater weighing or caliper test so i just was wondering if this is a accurate guess from your opinion.

Josh
I've heard below 4% IS unhealthy but even the best looking people in the world can't maintain ultra low bodyft percentages year round.
Those magazine cover models diet & exercise harder 6 weeks before a photoshoot to look their best and...
you can easily achieve a 6% but you can realistically expect it to be 10-to-12% most of the time
You have a nice free site here adrian and i thank you for all you've down to help others achieve their goals.
Okay my goal is to achieve a body like brad pitt(Tyler Turden in fight club). They said he had about 5-6%bf.
But ive heard that maintaining his body fat percentage isn't healthy.
Is it healthy to be at 6%bf?
will
The general rule is low reps & high sets and heavy for growth so 3-to-10 reps for 5-10 sets and higher reps and low sets for tone so 8-15 reps and 3-4 sets and this is a good rule for a beginner to follow
How many reps of an exercise should one do for maximum muscle growth?
And how many reps for muscle tone and strength?
Tyler
Go here to build muscle without weights
I'm 5'5 115 lbs. and i want to gain muscle but i don't have any equipment other than a chin up bar can you help me with a weekly plan? I'm lost!
Chris
It may or may not - I'm not really sure but I think what you are describing is a powerlifting technique used to help you bench more weight and NOT EXACTLY to build more muscle - you see...
powerlifters or weightlifters do that to help them win in competetion
Does arching your back during the bench press increase the amount of weight you use?
Is it good or bad for your back and what do you do?
will
Not really true.
The adonis body or perfect body is what YOU see as an adonis body or perfect body.
Try this total body plan to get you started
I want to build a adonis effect type of body. I looked at some websites on google and they say you have to have wide broad shoulders and slim waist.
Is that true and what would be the best exercises to get that type of body?
jose
Eat at least 1g per pound you weigh to maintain muscle.
so if you weigh 200 pounds = 200g of protein a day divided over 5-6 meals
thanks for answering my question. Yes I am trying to lower body fat while toning up and remaining slim.
How much protein should I eat a day to maintain muscle?
jose
brad pitt was actually a skinny guy with very little body fat that made him look ripped.
If that's the look you are going for then you really dont have to do a lot of weight training.
that look can be obtained with a lower caloire or maintance diet with or without cardio so to answer your question...
You need to eat an enough protein daily while USING your muscles to prevent muscle loss
Do you have to eat 5-6 low calorie meals to maintain muscle and lose body fat because I heard that brad pitt ate 3 low calorie meals a day for his role in fight club and he has great muscle tone?
anthony
It's not the bar that matters - it's the way your wrist are turned.
make sure that your wrist or hands are fully pronated when you grip the bar when doing straight bar or EZ bar curls
cruise
If you're already lean which I think you already are...
Just do 1-to-2 toning exercises here for the body parts you want to look better
I going to do barbell curls for a change in my bicep workout but Im not sure what to use.
Should I use the straight bar or EZ bar?
I heard that the straight bar is better on the bicep but harder on the wrists and the EZ bar is the opposite.
I want to look like akon but I don't want to lose any weight.(145lbs at 5"
Any suggestions?
Does he workout for muscle or does he tone?(I can't quite tell)
luis
Any order is fine but...
I would do pullups first and you only need to do T-bar rows OR rowing machine
My back workout consists of pull-ups t-bar rows and rowing machine.
In what order should i do these exercises for best results?
unknown
It more depends on what kinds of exercises you are doing and how much weight you are using for fast muscle
Would increasing the volume of your workout(more sets about 3-4 exercises) but in a short amount of time(30-45min)be effective in building muscle fast along with eating the right amount of calories?
This plan calls for about 5-8 sets of 3-4 exercises while resting about 15-30 seconds in between sets.(But with opposing muscle groups as well)
hayden
you just have to see what works best for you but...
You can go to NowLoss.com/w or...

Do u know any of anthony ellis's workout exercises?
If not what are the best exercises and workouts you have that can help me build muscle weight the fastest?
Thanks a lot in advance!
jose
Either way of jumping rope or lifting weights in the morning will burn fat but the weights will burn fat and build muscle
See NowLoss.com/rr
I was thinking of lifting weights in the morning before breakfast to burn fat and build muscle. I was goin to do supersets of opposing muscle groups
Is this a good plan?
About when would I start to see results?
ben
You WILL have to gain muscle weight of course and along with that muscle gain- you will gain some fat but dont worry...
any fat or the very little fat you gain can be burned off with NowLoss.com/15
Do you have to gain weight in order to get bigger muscles?
