Arthur S asked:


I’m 120 pounds and pretty skinny. For the past few months I’ve done push ups every day and I notice my chest and upper arms look more toned. The problem is I got a pain in my back lifting something heavy up. How do I build muscle all over my body so I can be strong all over and not just my upper arms and chest?????? I want to be able to lift someone else who is heavier than me without throwing out my back.

Kratos asked:


With just good high protein diet, martial arts and going to gym and having normal body weight. How long will it take for a guy to build muscle? like a few inches in the arms and stuff?
Oh yeah no steroids, but with lots of protein shakes lol
ok maybe not inches but at least noticeable results like slightly bigger/ripped muscles, I have until December

I’m 19 years old and 47kg which is a healthy weight for my height, i don’t necessarily want to lose weight i just want to build more muscle in my arms, legs and abs and be more toned. I eat fairly healthy already and bike for about 60 minutes each day. What are some exercises and tips that could help me?

Dennis R asked:


Hey there I’m just wondering how to build muscle mass and burn off fat fast because I’m going onto 10th grade next year and plus I need to do it for my own benifit so can anybody please answer my question? Any suggestions would be extremely helpful, thanks.

nikady9 asked:


does it like build muscle OVER the fat you already have, or does it slim down the fat then build muscle?

Chris asked:


I don’t have any weights. What can I do to build muscle using my own weight?
I have an I-beam in my basement that I can do pull-ups on. Other than that and push-ups what can I do?

Thanks.
Thanks for the responses.
I’ve also heard that doing push-ups with your feet up high against a wall is a pretty good exercise too, is this true?

harkkam asked:


I just started working out, I have kept my caloric intake the same amount as usual but I have shifted it to more protein. I am eating 1g of protein per pound of body weight. I was curious on how long does it take to gain muscle.

I weigh 150 lbs, I am 5′11”

And if I want to build muscle will I have to consume more calories than I am now or will I just need to eat more protein, since protein is the only macro molecule that is used in building muscle through via amino acids as building blocks. So it makes no sense to eat more carbs or fat than I am at the moment to build muscle.

K B asked:


I was laid off earlier in the year and after a couple months realized I gained about 40 pounds. I found and stuck with a good diet, cardo exercised daily and now at 200 pounds for a height of 5′11. I have a bowflex and would now like to tone myself but not get ripped. I know eating protein is crucial to building muscle, but what are the best times to eat? I’m on a budget and can really only afford eggs and chicken. Thank you.

S Man asked:


My goal is to build some muscles and get some abs….but I have NO idea what types of things to do. I figured lifting weights is good, but don’t know anything about specifics. So, if someone wants to build muscle and get abs, what should they do as far as working out goes?
