Working Out Correctly

It's a strong possibility that creatine increases the risk of cancer, by a semi-small amount, but it doesn't "cause" cancer. I see where your coming from and your right but you don't need to criticize him for no reason.

Obviously I made the guide myself...search every sentence, I don't care. By working out with free weights your also using natural movements, so thats good as well for that matter. Creatine won't fuck up your kidneys if you drink equivalent to your body weight in oz. of fluid, which I stated above it you read it all. But you do have to be careful with all supplements containing creatine, but most protein supplements you can be less attentive with.

Once again, you have strong points, but noting has ever been recorded of creatine "destroying" or causing any harm. The only negative effect is that you will have an increase in water weight. If you read up a bit you'd see some of the positive and negative side effects of creatine. My coaches recommended creatine to me, and I'm going on to play at ASU, so it is recommended. If creatine caused "serious" damage as you say in 2 weeks, it would be off the market. Just try and read up a bit more on the substance. With little education, most people can't realize the falsity of their claims.

 

My health teacher told me about creatine, and something about its only bad if you take it and don't do anything.

 

Yeah if you do that you'll just gain fat.

 

For people who seek muscle growth, you can't go wrong with Whey Protein, it actually has many health benefits as well, providing you know how to use it. I don't think Creatine is a good product, it's found naturally in foods with high protein such as meat, chicken, eggs, etc.

 

Alright man, thanks for the advice, im going to try and start going 4-5 times a week or more if possible..

 

It can kill your kidneys.. everyone acts differently to it, but "your body will have to work extra hard to excrete the unused creatine, putting unnecessary stress on your liver and kidneys."

 

How can you say...there has been no records of anything fatal, or harmful occurring. Wherever you are getting your information from is a bit uneducated. Creatine is found in high protein foods...So your telling me if I eat to much chicken, fish and eggs my kidneys will fail. Your body naturally produces amounts of creatine, the supplement just increase the amount in our system. Creating, if used correctly, is safe according to records...and it's far to early to determine any long term effects.

 

Very well put together guide, is that you in the GIFS? If so, your a big son bitch for a 17year old...

I want to start working out and this guide really helped me, especially with the supplements and such.

Thanks man

 

No thats not me, but I might just put something up to show you that I know what i'm doing. Thanks though, the guide is intended to help, enjoy .

 

splendid guide, keep em up man

 

Awesom Guide, must of tuck you a while, thanks for this.

 

nice guide.
not sure if i read this right but--
if you want to weigh a certain weight, eat like you already weight the amount you want?
and consume the amount of protein a day that you weigh.
ex: if you weigh 210, consume 210gram of protein daily. etc..

 

The 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight is a general rule of thumb, to gain weight all you need is a calorie surplus.

 

I have always been told two things by personal trainers and coaches,

#1) Only work out 3-4 times a week. When you are working out almost everyday, even if your working out different muscles your body is still repairing the ones you just trained on the previous day. So when you are tearing your muscles the next day they start the repair those and you don't get as much muscle gain because your body is trying to do repair to many things at once. Which is why a "active day of rest" is a good idea (such as running a few km, play a sport with some friends or something else that is active without putting to much strain on muscles)

#2) You said for the bench press you don't have to go all the way down to your chest. This is wrong (unless the 6 different coaches and personal trainers were all wrong), I have always been told (and only read) that you must go all the way down to your chest to get proper results. The last motion (touching your chest and bring it back off, without bouncing) is the most important part of the bench press.

So I don't know who told you about some of those but I would suggest taking a look into it.

Also I would suggest talking about negative reps, they are a great way to finish of a set.

 

If your playing or training for a sport you can workout 6 days a week, no problem, with one day rest. If your muscles don't repair as quickly because your just beginning to workout then you should workout arms and chest one day, tri's and shoulders another day, and the third day legs and repeat the cycle, giving your arms and chest 2 1/2 days to rest. Your supposed to pick one day and rest your body, but continue any daily routines which you may follow.
Most sports players who workout mistakenly believe that you have to let the bar touch your chest on each repetition. If you have a thick chest and short arms, this might be okay. If, however, you have a thin chest and long arms, letting the bar touch the chest can be dangerous. The key to a safe bench is to keep the elbows from going too low. Lower them until your upper arms form a right angle with your forearms at the elbow joint. If you let them go too low, you risk stretching the anterior capsule and compressing the posterior capsule of the shoulder. You get most of your main chest workout when you push the bar up, when you let it drop low it works the back and tri's as well.

 

Depending on what some people call a work out, yours makes quite a lot of sense especially the bolded bit. If you work out to long one certain time it's especially bad for your back =\. Good guide nevertheless

 

Lol who ever told you that or if its just your own knowledge then your wrong. The down motion is the far more effective half of the motion than then second motion (pushing the bar).

 

Yeah, cause you push the bar up to squeeze em together, and when you bring it down, it pulls them apart, which is one full rep of the muscles. Expand and contract, which is how they get bigger .\

E: Also add that you should run every day. If you're trying to get cut, or if you're trying to get built. You should run all the time, or at least three times a week. A good 4 miles a week will do a lot for you, and running does help you get bigger. As your body can process protein faster, and the creatine in your system will store it much quicker, So run and work out frequently.

 

I mean when you let it touch your back it begins to work other sections of the body. If you want to get a chest workout alone, you don't need to let the bar touch your chest, your's is just common misconception. You can drop it to your chest to get more of a push, as you drop to about 90 degrees thats the lowest you will need to go for a chest only workout...which is what benching is.

 

No dropping it to your chest isn't what your supposed to do... you supposed to bring it down so it just touches your chest if your only bringing it down to 90 deg your not working it fully. Talk to a personal trainer or a university football coach. -_-
