Unlikely: Keep the weights manageable and don't struggle. That should be fine for your back.

lift weights a lot like bench, squat, and deadlift each 3 times a week. am i too thin, should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Can't tell: I can not tell you if you are too thin without knowing your height, body weight and body frame. At this point in your life, focus on healthy living- healthy eating, keeping the muscles toned, finding enjoyable forms of cardiovascular exercise, minimizing your risk of injury and staying in a healthy weight range.

Question 6

why has my weight hit a plateau?

Accepted Answer

Healthy weight: It's normal for weight to plateau and to hover at a stable level.  This is behind the notion of a "set-point" for weight.  What this means metabolically is that the intake of calories is about right to maintain the present weight, given the amount of work (exercise/moving around) being done.  When desired one may lose additional weight by following the same principles that led to the initial loss.

Question 9

how could i make my weight stable?

Accepted Answer

Healthy Lifestyle: A healthy lifestyle with nutritious food choices/amounts & exercise will help keep your weight stable. Going on "diets" can affect your metabolism to the point where most people gain weight back (& often more) once you go off the diet. It is best to develop a health lifestyle, in which you are eating several smaller meals (3-6) containing a balance of proteins, carbs, fats, fruits & veggies.

Question 10

how often should you lift weights?

Accepted Answer

Every other day: Weight lifting or strength straining is an important part of weight management. Generally, you should only work each muscle group every other day. For example, if you do upper body strength training today you should take a day off before doing it again. Your muscles need time to recover from strength training, it is during this recovery that they become stronger.
