Answer to:
I'm a pretty buffed guy and want to take three weeks from weight lifting. Will I lose my muscle mass and tone? Nah not in 3 weeks. some people have been known to go as long as a month without a loss in strength or muscle mass.Assuming you were training before which you said you do.I would not worry, you would be surprised that your body probably could use a nice break. I would do some walking and biking or swimming though, to keep your fitness level up during the break. I hope this helps.=)

Answer to:
What foods do you totally avoid when dieting? Avoid going out to eat in restaurants or fast food places.

Answer to:
I plan on starting an exercise routine, I want to include weights, hand weights jogging and ab exercise. What is the best order to do my exercises in, and what is the best time of day to do them? As for order, I would lift weights for any major muscle group and do abs last. this is mostly important when your doing big muscles in your workout like legs/chest/back.Last thing you want to do is weaken your abs first because your abdominal muscles are needed to support your upper body and for keeping good posture.So in your weight lifting workouts do abs after the rest of the muscles you...

Answer to:
On the iron gym, which grips work which part of the body? when doing pull ups what does the wide grip work? what does the narrow grip work? what about the neutral grip? Doing pull ups with a wide grip works your lats(Latissimus Dorsi)more than anything else.The close grip will work more of your biceps(arm muscle used in curls). the neutral grip will be more balanced without an emphasis on one or the other. same is true for bench press wide grip and close grip are more focused on one muscle but a neutral grip works both fairly. I hope this helps clear that up....

Would it be a good idea to do push ups every other day, each time increasing the amount by one until I reach 100? (1, rest, 2, rest, 3, etc.) yeah sounds good. I would keep in mind take a couple days off on a regular basis.No need to do pushups 6 or 7 days a week the body works well and will adapt to what your doing, don't exercise out of fear exercise for results, don't be afraid to rest 3 or 4 days in a row, you wont lose any strength or muscle I promise you that.I am a bodybuilder and regular exerciser.I have no problems...

Answer to:
What is the best weight loss exercises for someone with bad wrists, neck and lower back? Some years ago I was struck by a car as a pedestrian and have bulging discs in neck, lumbar fusion (but still have sciatica pain) and painful wrists (no floor yoga). I would say walking definitely because unlike jogging or running walking puts little to no stress on any major joint. If possible try doing leg squats, i know you said lower back was bad i am thinking if you did small reps like 1/4 of a normal rep you prob wont engage your lower back.But please see a doctor before trying stuff out, I only want to see you get better not worse off. Best wishes...

What are all the health benefits of sleep? and what can happen to your body if you deprive yourself of sleep? Sleep is one of the most important things you can do.Of course every one says they sleep, but very few get 7-9 hours like we all should be getting per night.Sleep heals our muscles and repairs our minds.Sleep deprivation increases appetite, increases our fat because hormones get out of balance and when they do we eat more and tend to store more as fat.Sleep effects how much energy you have to...

That's a good margin without doing too little or too much protein. as far as when goes spread it out...

How can you relax after a hard work? One way to relax after work is to do some gentle stretching, it may seem odd i say that, right after working you'd be tired right? well stretching allows your muscles to loosen and muscles don't relax very easily if there tight and tense, so stretch first to relax your muscles than try taking a bath after.Which if your really sore would be a great idea.Heat will also relax your...
