Ye that's still pretty young to lift weights and how tall you ? Remember, it stunts your growth

You must be pretty short is your one metre and 8 cm. Don't weight train now than.

my bad i meant 1m 80cm

I meant !m and 80 - 1m 86 !!! Not 8cm my bad, my bad.

Who do you think you are, Indy?


How tall is that, anyway? I'm to lazy to use a metric converter.

I dunno thats all i no and who's indy?

Roughly translated, he has no idea.

hipn at your age lifting weights is a bad idea, Id do more physical activity rather than stay in a room and lift a heap of metal. Plus you need to put on more weight if you want a good muscle definition, or you'll end up with invisible muscles and end up looking like Manute Bol.

Go shoot some hoops, play soccer, do some boxing/kick-boxing....just alot of sports and those muscles will build in no time oh yeah and most importantly eat up till your loaded and if you one those types that cant gain weight easily then take some carbo and protein shakes. Just remember to exercise though or you'll end up fat and unfit, you gotta burn that shit or you in for trouble.

Another way to get rock hard muscles is to do some form of martial arts preferably something like Wushu and Tai Chi or Kung Fu is alright, you'll be a brick wall in no time.

Weights are seriously crap compared to alotta stuff, unless your fat and want to lose some inches off that waste line but otherwise they are a waste of cash and space.

I suggest you do some research on weight lifting before you make any more ignorant comments.

Yeah i play ball a lot mostly 3-4 times a week and I play a lot of hockey too. I sometimes play soccer, nto a lot, and im startign to have swimming like 3 times a week at school for two weeks, 1h 20min each class. BTW Im around 5'6'' to 5'8'', I am around that. I dont know what that is in CM but yeah. Im pretty active.

And I suggest you do the same.

I've researched weight training and bodybuilding for years. It comes to me as a shock that you would write "weights are seriously crap compared to a lotta stuff." Give me a few examples of better "stuff." And a "waste of cash and space?" You gotta be kidding me. Here's one good example of the benefits of weight training:

Improving or maintaining health should be a primary goal of an exercise program. Health not only refers to the absence of disease or illness but may include the way a person feels about their body, their confidence about participating in a variety of activities, and their overall attitude towards life. For many people feeling physically fit and strong is part of being a well-rounded, confident person. Resistance training (weight training) can play an important role in the development of self-confidence and body satisfaction by increasing strength, building and toning muscles, and increasing muscular endurance. It can also help maintain lean body mass (important for individuals attempting weight loss), decrease the risk of osteoporosis, develop coordination and balance, and prevent injuries resulting from weak muscles.

There you have it. Improves health, well-being, confidence, and prevention from injuries. You can say the same about any other training program, but I have never seen anything that gives a larger impact than weight training due to its anabolic (rather than anerobic) effect.

How do I become cut? And how do I get my biseps harder? They are kinda hard but I want them rock hard. How many times do I have to lift my 15lbs dumbell? and for how many days?

Is 15LBS heavy for you ? If it is, your leaning to getting cut. If it ain't heavy for you, your leaning towards to getting tone.

That's what I heard from people so if I am wrong someone correct me.

Holding 15lbs isnt heavy, but after lifting like 20-30 times without stopping it gets heavy. BTW, I have been lifting for like 1 month and a half and I have seen results but not like MAJOR results. Apporzimately how long does it take for me to get cut and/or toned? ANd my biseps aren't really hard when I flex, they are but not HARD. How do I get them harder? What types of lifting do I have to do?

I also want muscles on my back, like on my shoulder-blades, and under. I just started working on my forearms.

I have a question, or atleast another one: How do I get my shoulder msucles bigger nad harder, I dont actually mean my shoulder but you know, kinda right above the biseps, and beside the shoulder, or it is the shoulder, I dunno.

If he can do 20-30 reps on 15 lbs, he's getting nowhere. Tone and cut is the same thing, and the only way you can get toned/cut is a combination of weights, cardio and diet, meaning clean (healthy) foods at limited calories that's sufficient enough to retain muscle mass but burn fat by the pound on a weekly basis.

hipn, I gave you several tips and resources, but you don't really seem to listen to the advice I give. I suggest you start reading before asking the same repetitive questions. To answer some of your questions: go heavier on the weights, and it's called 'deltoids.'

Deltoids.. I read some or most of the links ypu gave me. And what exactly do yu mean by "If he can do 20-30 reps on 15 lbs, he's getting nowhere.", I can do more.

No, I mean, it doesn't matter if you can do 50 or 100 reps, it doesn't make a difference. Your body gets used to the weight, and it doesn't grow or respond. Now, if you start doing, say 25 lbs instead of 15, you'll find that you can only do maybe 6 or 8 reps before you can't do any more - that's how you build muscle.

Sorry, I thought you meant something else. The bad thing is that I don't have any heavier weights, but the good thing is next week Im doing fitness and Im going into the Calistetics room or whatever it's called for like 2 weeks.

Will pushups do anything now for me?
Will negative reps increase the size of my muscles now?

Pushups are pretty effective if you do incline pushups, as in putting your feet on a chair or a bench, and going slow, especially on the negative reps. I find that after my 2nd set, pushups are damn hard to crack 10 reps. Slow and controlled negative reps contribute a lot to muscle growth, so it's a good idea to learn proper form to isolate the muscles and push them to the max.

Nice to see Cyanide taking charge of this thread...
