I wanted to know if i could get any one to tell me the proper way to eat while weight training. Im not trying to bulk up, I want to build off of what i already have, while also trying to loose the small spare tire ive got. Im interested in knowing pre/post and off day workout meals, and when to take amino acids and supplement w/my meals.

This kind of training uses your own body weight like with different positions of push ups and pull ups and balancing, kind of like yoga but more for building muscle, i think Usher uses this kind of training. Does anybody know what it’s called and can you offer a good source?

I’m about 6′3″ 215 lbs. I’m looking to start a weight training routine to build lean muscle. I want good definition, abs, pecks, big arms… the whole nine yards. What are some good supplements or proteins or whatever to take to help speed the process up? Also, where can I get them. I’d also like to know what types of foods to eat. Thank You.

Jessica asked:


I’m 30 years old and female, 5′4″ and 160 pounds. I gained 25 of those pounds in the last 6 years or so. (And I’ve had no pregnancies to excuse me!)

My blood pressure, cholesterol and heart rate are all in very healthy parameters.

I’m pretty happy with my diet. I generally eat about 1400-2000 calories per day of whole foods with just a little junk. I’m trying to cut down on the trash, which should save me a couple hundred calories per day.

My question: Will I lose any of this extra 25 pounds by walking and weight training? I am planning on walking about 45 minutes per day, at a brisk 4 mph pace, five or six days per week. My strength training routine is four days a week and comes from Wini Linguvic’s “Lean, Long & Strong.” It’s not strenuous, but it is comprehensive.

Thank you!

Cassandra Goth asked:


I’m 14 and I can’t do any push-ups because my arms are too weak, so I’ve decided to start weight training with dumbbells. I have 7 pound ones and I bought a light resistance band. Should I get heavier weights or can I just use the ones I have?
