Question 3

can you tell me which exercise(s) work the same muscles as a chin-up?

Accepted Answer

Many: the chin up involves your forearms(wrist flexors/grip), biceps and lattisimus dorsi(back).  So pulls up are close but more difficult related to the wrist pronation.  "Lat pull downs" are a mimic for pull ups(but seated).  Rowing motions, like seated cable rows, bent over dumbbell rows or inverted rows, will also work similar muscles but at different angles.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Sounds normal: Loosening of the muscles is a normal part of pregnancy. If your contractions increase then that would be a different issue.

Question 5

how to gain muscle

Accepted Answer

Work hard: You gain muscle by subjecting your body to a load that it cannot handle, allow appropriate time and rest for your body to accomodate, and provide your body with the appropriate nutrition to support that activity. That translates into hard work in the gym while avoiding overtraining, getting enough sleep, and eating a well balanced diet. There are no safe, legal shortcuts.

Question 6

why do we lose muscle?

Accepted Answer

Inactivity: Muscles requiring constant activity to work fully and extra activity to enlarge and strengthen.  They get continuous activity working against gravity and astronauts lose muscle due to the weightlessness of orbital function.  There is continuous loss with aging, some of which can be slowed down by exercise.

Accepted Answer

Question 9

how to gain muscle fast?

Accepted Answer

Muscle: Want it Bad!: Hi

i come down on the side of letting nature alone.  This means I am not one to encourage body building hormones or illegal supplements to achieve unnatural muscle mass.

But, that said, given your age you can naturally do a lot to get strong and to stay that way. High protein, low carbs, lots of good hydration and muscle training and lifting guided by a good trainer are key.
