    Need to lose 20kg :( HELP!

    Working out in the morning (ie before breakfast) doesn't increase fat loss, its a myth! Don't believe all that stuff because its not true. Its like the myth about 'low intensity cardio is better because it burns more fat.'

    sets x reps for weight gain.

    Periodise your training - in other words don't just use 3 x 10 all the time. Use various rep ranges, from 1-20. Centre most of your workouts on reps between 6-12 but sticking solely to this range isn't optimal. Low, heavy reps work on maximal strength meaning you can lift more weight in all rep...

    Weightlifting for size and strength: The Basics

    Theres 2 types of hypertrophy (growth) in muscles. Myofibrillar hypertrophy is an increase in the contractile proteins meaning you also see an increase in the strength of the muscle.

    Need to lose 20kg :( HELP!

    Dont fall into the trap of aiming for a certain weight! For one, its dangerous. And two, it has NOTHING to do with how you look. You could be 40kg and look unfit just as you could be 50 kg and look great. Same goes for anyone really, even for ppl looking to build muscle. Don't aim for a...

    Help? :D

    keep losing weight and eventually it will come off from your stomach. your body loses fat from predisposed places, but if you continue to reduce overall body fat eventually you'll see it reduce from your stomach. if you've already lost 3kg, keep doing what you did to do that!

    Gain Weight and Muscle

    imo it doesn't matter if your doing a split routine (mon-chest, tues-back, etc) or a full body routine AS LONG as you are performing mainly compound exercises, especially for beginners. Squats, Bench press, deadlifts, lunges, dips, chin ups, shoulder press, etc.

    weights and joint damage

    Theres a few things you can do. The first and most obvious is to start with lighter weights and build up. I dont mean REALLY light weights, just not going for max weights just yet. Also make sure your using correct technique - use the mirror and have someone check your form is good. Also don't...
