Welcome to Weight Lifting 365!

I am 13 (i'll be14 in june) and i am 5'7, i play fottball so i need to bulk up so my friend suggested me to free weight soi am planning to buy a pair of 5kg dumbbells, can lifting weights stunt growth?

I have been lifting weights to gain muscle and to lose weight. I can tell I’m gaining more muscle in my arms but I’m not losing any weight either, Nor have I gain any. I have cut down on all of the bad foods and I have been exercising more, but for some reason I cant go below how much I weight now Why is that ?

Hey im 17yrs old 5'9" 230lbs. I started lifting in May and i was 280lbs. The last 3 weeks i stayed the same weight. I added in 2 miles of running 5 times a week 2 weeks ago and i still vary from 228-230. I use to lift heavy weights light reps. Now my goal is to be 180lbs cut, ripped, and defined. Im going to keep on running but should i now switch from lifting heavy weights and turn to lifting lighter ones to get my body out of its plateau and burn more fat?

I don't have a weight lifting class so I lift after school and I'm pretty much on my own. I tried coming up with my own little workout but I can't think of the right lifts to do and already my coached are telling me I'm getting smaller.. Any suggestions?

Hi, I've been lifting for awhile, but I am now going through a burn phase and want to know your input on the best exercises that stimulate the metabolism.

can anyone tell me what is the best weight lifting workouts for a high school corner back???

Do we really want criminals to get stronger? Not to mention pay for it? Why are weight lifting equipment so prominent in prisons?

i have to write a two page paper on weight lifting for my P.E. class but i don't know any names of the equipment aside from dumbbells and barbells. aha. anyway, any names of equipment you could give would be amazing! thanks

I am doing a project for a facilities design course in which we are designing a sports training/weight room. I need to find price quotes for excercise equipment, but can't find any. Please Help!!!!!!

I am 6 feet and weigh 175 pounds. Can you please recommend me some workouts to drastically increase my strength, especially on the bench? I only started lifting two weeks ago but still, I can only lift like 110 lbs. I am looking for a workout that specifically targets strength gain. I am also looking for something that targets my whole body. I regularily take protein shakes and creatine. Thanks guys!!!!

I’m looking to find sites that will give me some routines as how to use the machines in the gym in a combination so I can have faster results in my body and not harm myself in the process and also I will like to have a stretching routine for the different parts of my body that I’m working that day of the routine I will like the routines to be made for women’s and their bodies.

I'm an endo-meso... I'm getting back into shape, and I am been seeing results. Anyone with the same body type as me? What routines do you do at the gym? I won't ask about supplements and dieting anymore because mine just works fine.

Do weight lifting supplements have any repercussions on the male penis? I heard that this is a common problem and as I am new at taking nutritional supplements I would like to verify such rumor. Thank you

Ok so i'm looking to gain some bulk i weigh 145 at the moment i have whey protein, and some creating (which is expired creatine) my question is what other products / supplements can i add to get more weight on (muscle weight that is) i was looking at anabolic halo and some growth stuff but i need some opinons! hopefully you guys can help me out cause im about to resort to steroids :) jk "weight lifting supplements" means what to you nitra?

I take Black Stack (rotate with SuperPump 250) and Plasmajet before I go to the gym every day. I am also on probation, will these supplements show a false positive for THC, Cocaine, or any other drug?

I bought a belt for low back and abdominal support. Is it a good or bad thing to wear during weight training?

hi, i am thinking of buying a leather weight lifting belt soon as i am weight lifting and my back feels a bit weak so would it suepport my back when i am doing push ups as well and do they really work thanks

I've seen people wearing them around the gym, but what do they actually do?

I know of the Clean and Jerk but, what other presses and lifts are in the Olympics?

I am a 17 year old guy from the US and have looked at the stats of the 56kg competitors. Their heights and weight match mine. Except I can't lift as heavy as them yet but I know I can match their numbers within about a year. I am quite excited and never really watched the olympics because I always thought smaller guys like me didnt have sports they could compete in so I never really took an interest. I would just have to weight train again. I have always been the short guy with strength and control since i was in kindergarten. They always used me as defense in football because they said no one would expect a small person to do much. Weight lifting is something I want to do. How would I go about getting into the sport to someday compete? I wouldn't mind gaining some pounds for a higher weight divison either if I had to.

I would like to have as many answers as possible and please be objective, for example if you are from Andora don't put this country just because you love it. Thanks and only 1 country please!!

I've just started weight training exercises and I was just wondering what is the average weight a woman can bench press and curl when she first starts, and how much weight is safe for a woman to build up to? and I have always heard that woman can lift weights and not look like the women in body building magazines. Am I wrong? That's not the look I'm after. I don't want to look like a man for God's sake

If i have been working out (weight training) with 5 lbs, 8 lbs, and 10 lbs for about 7 months.. Should i started adding more weight? I know that you are supposed to change because if not your body gets accustomed and isnt working out. What should i start using 8, 10, and 12 lbs? Isnt that too much for a women?

I would like to start weight training but I dont seem to be able to find a place that does it close by. Anyone know where I can find a club that that weight training for women in SE9 London ? thanks

I've been lifting weights for a little while now, but I'm getting these tough calluses that my wife doesn't like. Also, my hands sometimes give out before my arms do. Would weight lifting gloves help? Also, I don't want to look like a meathead. I remember reading somewhere about these gloves that only fit on the inside of your hands - they're more like leather straps that go over the inside of your knuckles. Anyone have any idea what this could be? Or have other suggestions for weight lifting gloves that aren't so dorky looking?

I want to buy some weight lifting gloves but I am unsure about the size. Should they be skin tight or have some slack? Also, should the glove stop below or at the knuckle? I tried on out a couple pairs. The medium size was kind of tight and small and the large seems a a bit loose and long. I am not sure which ones to get. Any advice?

I'd like to buy some weight lifting gloves that will support my wrists. I tried the Harbinger Classic 130 and those were pretty good, but then I saw the Harbinger Pro 140 online and was wondering how those compare. Is there something better than Harbinger gloves? Thanks!
