Hi Steve,
I am trying to get back in shape and haven't worked out since I had my son almost a year ago. I'd like to gain strength in my arms and in my core. I don't have access to a gym, but I have some free weights (3, 5, 8, 15, 20). I have never done weight training (I always did pool workouts as a swimmer instead). Where should I start? Thanks in advance

i am 23... I am a beginner in workouts... I have thin arms and my belly and hips are growing... How should i plan my excercise routine so that i can get decent arm size and a flat toned body...?
I am 23.. I am a beginner in workouts.. I have thin arms and belly & hips have grown fat... How should i start...? How should i plan my excercise routine...??
How many weeks should i do this workout for?
It depends on you. You can stick with this for as long as you are making progress. You may want to switch it up after 10 weeks to keep it interesting.
Hi Steve, I got a question, I have been training for 3 mounths and have gained a routine, my body is giving little response to my efforts and that is quite fine, but now what I would like is weight loss, more precisely fat loss, I am 183 cm x 81 kg, here the question does loosing that fat would mean loosing strenght? so I will have to reorganize my routine....and corse diet and training suggestion would be precious for me thanks in advance...
hi steve,
i am 20year .i am vegeterian.how to weight gain?
and take advice for buy best supplement.
just wondering what the better way to do your sets is?......a lot of people and sites say to warm up then do 3 sets but max out your weight and do reps of 4-8 per set and not 15-10.....trying to build as much muscle as possible in the upper arm and shoulder area. i know this site says 15-10 reps but just wondering what the rest of the people here think.
hw can my ARMS BIG PLZ GIVE ME A BEST ARMS RUTINE
Hi, I have been an on and off member of the gym for the last 2 years. I started back last week doing roughly 6 hours a week varied exercises (resistance training, heavy weights). I take 90+ protein shakes twice a day and also 6 grams of creatine. 3 tabs before work out and 3 after. The first week I looked pumped and have gained a steady 3lbs. Now after my first day of rest my body has relaxed and I am struggling to see any difference. It appears to have gone backwards if anything. I went back to the gym last night and felt I can lift heavier weights easily compared to last week. When will the visual effects show?
Any advice on time scale of when my body will start to progress?
Hi steve I have been working out for 3 months now and I still haven't seen any results yet what do you think I should do?
Hey Steve,
I had back surgery 5 months ago and have been doing cardio for an hour 5 times a week for the past 2 months. I feel that I'm well enough to start lifting some weights now to get into top physical shape. My question is can you suggest a good workout routine for all my muscle groups to start getting back in shape.
sir,i have doubt about one question.
i do workout daily,but i can't get result.my bicep size doesn't increase.
is there any possibilities that it might be locked ? or not than how can i increase my size.
at present i am using metaforce supplement.
give suggestion for workout and supllement.
await an early reply.
thank you
I've been working out regularly now for about 45 days , I'm seeing some great results but now I want to start gaining more muscle. Every time I walk into the gym I do 15-20 of cardio, I feel like it gets my heart rate up and more focused on the weight training. is this okay?
how do i know how heavy should i be lifting? and also, is each set continous? i mean am i supposed to do another set right after i do one? or can i take breaks after each set? if so, how long?
HI im 16 working out 4 about 2 years and saw little progress in my muscle all around can help me out?

Hey!
I played rugby a while back when I was 18 or so and then gained a whole lot of weight. However I have been hitting the gym and losing some of it. I do feel slightly stronger in most areas as well. One area which has been a problem for me is the bicep. I seem to be stuck with the same weight and cannot increase the weight without compromising the number of reps. My biceps are not that well developed as yet, theres some fat there. So my question is as to whether doing multiple reps will add strength and build my biceps? Thanks in advance.
sir.
My height is 166 cm and i want to increase my height atleast 3 cm by any method.and i hav already joind the gym. Pull ups is good enough for this and my age is 19.6
Hi my name is Ray pope but you can call me BigBaby.I suggest you train each body part once a week to avoid overtraining.Your muscles grow and regroup only when they are resting.I suggest using a split routine to give each muscle group your undivided attention and focus.Some muscle groups work indirectly with other muscle groups,SO be careful not to overtrain,Especially the smaller muscles like arms and shoulders to avoid injury.Try this split and see how it works for you. Mon-Legs Tues-Chest & shoulders wed-rest thurs-Back & biceps fri-shoulders & traps sat & sunday rest.You can play around with it change and rearrange the muscles being worked.Just because you only work your muscle groups once a week doesn't mean do a hundred reps or sets.Keep the sets around 6 or 9 for small muscle groups and 10 to 12 sets for the larger muscles GET IN GET OUT AND GROW!

Hi Steve,
I am following this routine, one thing is can I do ABS & Cardio exercises in all rest days?
Absolutely.
Hi, my name is Andres and I have been playing soccer for a while. Im currently 18. I have my lower body very well developed because of the soccer, but my coach started suggesting that I work out my upper body, focusing on my torso (chest, abs) and also on my arms. I want to do this so by the time my first club game rolls around by spring break next year im in peak condition. What can I do, apart from my practices. I am member of a gym, so I have access to weights and such, but I do not want to loose my cardio fitness and be a meathead. Any help, please do tell. I have about 6 months and I have been told that a 6 pack is possible in such time. weigh 165lbs and I am 5'11. Slim but not skinny. Good diet but not great (yes, I enjoy my ocassional burger). Thank you.

You want to focus on two things to maximize results:
1) Pushing yourself in the gym. Using good form, always push yourself on every set. When you can perform the recommended number of reps for a set, add weight.
2) Eat to maximize muscle gains. Here are some articles that can help:
