Question 1

is it ok to do cardio while building muscle?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely: Both aerobic (cardio) and resistance (mass-building) will give you great benefits. Today's men are as interested in definition (low body fat) as in gaining mass; for the former, both are usually required.

Question 2

i would like a workout routine for building muscle?

Accepted Answer

Muscle: The best and safest way to go is to visit your doc to make sure you are in good health enough to work out.  Then see a fitness trainer at a gym so that he/she can draw up a work out routine for you.  Generally speaking, protein can help w/building muscle but an overall healthy diet free from junk food, sugar, chemicals, etc. can help w/general health and well being.  Peace and good health.

Question 3

which sources of protein are most highly recommended for building muscle?

Accepted Answer

Two natural sources!: Protein from milk whey and protein from egg Albumin have protein efficiency indices of 100%. They can be purchased without carbs and fats!

Question 4

is acne normal when building muscle?

Accepted Answer

Let's get Rx: I trust no one is adminstering Anabolic steroids to you in a "gym health drink" without your knowledge -- this happens. Simply being around the gym may stimulate your brain to make you pump out more testosterone. This is a good thing you're doing, and if you're developing acne and topical benzoyl peroxide hasn't cleared you in two weeks, a physician can write you a rx that will.

Question 5

does meth affect you in anyway from building muscle?

Accepted Answer

Meth: Meth is a conglomeration of several chemicals and one never knows exactly what is in it.  This is very dangerous and always causes damage to a user.  If you use meth (methanphetamine, ) you are in danger, and should seek medical attention and rehab immediately.  Many people die from using meth.

Question 6

amino acid 2222 dosage per day for body building n muscles gaining?

Accepted Answer

Amino acid 2222: Building muscle depends on many factors - you're training regimen, the type of exercises you're doing, frequency, amount of protein you're getting from other sources... And probably most importantly, your genetics.  And other docs can chime in, but i think the jury is still out if high dose Amino Acid supplementation really does anything to boost muscle mass or performance.

Question 7

building muscle for dancing. what is a good training workout routine?

Accepted Answer

Core body strength: Core body strength, such as pilates and yoga are considered to be key for dancing.  Cross training to use all muscles and vary your workout will also prevent muscle burn out or overuse injuries. Remember to listen to your body and pay attention to proper nutrition and also take days off for recovery.

Question 8

does dmards (methotresate) interfere with building muscle like nsaids?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely : Methotrexate has its toxicity on bone marrow, kidneys, liver, nerves, but not known to affect muscles, and so are NSAIDS, as far as I lnow. Exercising isn't an absolute contraindication to using those medicines to control disease. Hopefully you aren't contemplating using anabolic agents to build muscles, wish you well

Question 9

i'm not building muscle because i'm unable to sleep because of school, need help!?

Accepted Answer

Insomnia: Look up healthy sleep habits online. Create a consistent wake time and avoid naps. Go to bed only when you are tired. If you can't fall asleep within 20 mins, get out of bed until you're tired again. Avoid substances that impact sleep, like alcohol, drugs. Consult w/ psychological services at school, they can help  you cope with the anxiety/stress that is impacting your sleep.

Question 10

trying to lose weight while building muscle! anything i should take or do pre workout?

Accepted Answer

Adjust workout sched: Best approach to losing body fat and gaining lean muscle mass is the alternate between a fat burning workout ( maintaining 65% of your maximum heart for your age ) and a dedicated muscle building program.

Diet is important as well and should ultimately have a mild restriction with the goal of losing fat over months not days.
