How do you guys work out?

My legs are muscular enough for me... My arms and abs kinda are on the weak side <_<

I'm more on strength than speed ^_^

Oh yeah lev, I quit the benchpressing and now I only use work out machines in gym when I have to ^_^ I'm a lot less sore now.

Thats cuz ur making less muscle....the sore feeling is because your muscles get little holes in them, and when the muscle comes back it gets back bigger (Adapting to the work on it). This is what Ive heard, Im pretty sure it's right.

well.. the discomfort you get is the result of the chemical reaction needed to make energy. The acid is actually quite potent.. somewhere around a 3 I wanna say on the pH, I can't be sure as it stands. After that... I'm unsure, the acid may create the holes in your muscle, but, I haven't done enough research on it. But, too if you work too much, you can end up stretching and tearing your muscle. That's not too comfortable.

In any event, I've changed work-out schedule. I don't bother with lifting weights. Well, right now, I can't do much of anything, because I'm stuck inside half the day. But, I do run when I can, followed by a series of interchanging kicks and punches. Also, stretching is a very important aspect to my working out, to keep my muscles flexible.

Also, stretching out your muscles kinda "rings them out" and the oxygen let inside the muscle gets rid of that acid, so you'll be less sore, and surprisingly, the muscle will increase more. And yeah, the Acid probably causes the wholes in your muscle, since it's incredibly toxic, or whatever the word Im lookin for is...

I walk almost everywhere, and I lift weights about 2-6 times a day. I also practise fighting ie kicking air etc and jumping off of things to improve my ability and durability. I also take REALLY hot baths, or walk my dog in the rain wearing shorts and tshirt, to expand my mind and how much pain i can take. In other words I train to fight.

Mmm... Anaerobic cellular respiration isn't particularily healthy for your cells... They weren't adapted to stand such circumstances... Basically, I mean that the buildup of lactic acid is very inefficient, producing ONLY 2 ATP molucules from a single glucose molecule while aerobic respiration can produce 38 ATP molecules @_@;; Waste of energy... <_<

lactic acid... pain... Oh, the buildup of lactic acid has been found to shorten your lives and increase chances of cancer Enjoy guys lol

... I think I'm going to stay inside and type at a keyboard for the rest of my life now...

Heh... nice encouragements by me eh?

BTW for you dumbos, aerobic respiration is the oxidation (burning) of food molecules, producing 38 ATP molecules per glucose. (around 80 per fat molecule) This "converts" oxygen to carbon dioxide.

Now, anaerobic respiration is when you "burn" food molecules, but turn it into lactic acid. (Lactose is a type of sugar) This produces ONLY 2 ATP molecules... Not quite efficient...

Oh and, anaerobic respiration is what the organisms used like 3-2 billion years ago. Then, aerobic respiration developed... much more efficient, don't ya think? lol

But we live lives revered by those around us, happier lives. lol, plus, girls like muscle.

Also, our bodies are adapting themselves as we workout, and eventually, through generations of it, humans should, on average, be stronger, wider build, and taller. It's physical evolution.

And whats with the Anaerobic and Aerobic, I dont know the differene lol. By aerobic do you mean exercise, running, walking, etc....and Anaerobic you mean weightlifting?

aerobic respiration is respiration that uses oxygen...
anaerobic doesn't.. it produces acid.

No... I've explained it thru MSN... anyways, you got the wrong idea on adaptation...

This may sound really weak, but when i bench 40kg plus 10kg with the bar, thats 50kg, were my arms and chest joints are, they ache a bit for about 2days.

Lol, 50kgs=about 110 lbs. Haha, let's see....I do 155 lbs=70.45kgs and Im only a little sore.

Okay, if you don't wanna be so sore just stretch out your arms and pecs alot before, during, and after your workout.

Im not benching no more in P.E i have basketball after school, after gym, and im always in pain for the match, so i quit if i have a game.
