| | I want to do exercises for increase my arms muscle, chest, pectorals, etc.
That would be easy on a Gym but that is so expensive here in Mexico and i want to make exercises at my house without the need of machines or any other extra stuff.
The only ones i know are:
Lizards:
those are supossed to exercise pectorals and arms with posture variations.
Abdominals:
well, i guess everybody knows this one.. helps the abdomen.
Back:
Well that is for exercise the lower back part.
Those are the only i know, and i would like to know some exercises, anyones, but being especifically, that would help me with the upper back part, shoulders, forearms, and some more for pectorals.
Would someone help me? thanks in advanced |

I don't know what the name of this exercise is, but pick up a brick and hold your arm straight up in the air. Now let the brick fall behind you. Your elbow will be straight up in the air, then pull the brick back up to extend your arm to the sky and repeat for a full set. Duplicate with the other arm and do 3 sets. repeat daily until youneed a bigger brick.

1 suggestion I could give is that you purchase a dumb bell, there are so many variations of exercises you could use to train your chest, pectoral, trapezius, biceps and triceps ... etc with them

Yeah i guess im gonna buy that, i've found lots of tips for exercises done with 1 dumb bell or tow, but here that kind of stuff is usually expensive, and i didnt want to spend my money on that, but oh well i gotta need it. The brick sugesstion is a nice idea, it would work like the dumb bell  thx for the tip jlhaslip.

But before you buy a dumb bell, try to gauge how much you want to start with. It would not be wise for you to buy a 20 kg dumb bell in the start, so choose wisely. Perhaps you could buy a blank dumb bell and purchase additional weights as time goes by. Good luck

My brother always does this kinda stuff, and did you know that if you do it at a young age, it will make it harder for you to grow, but he started when he was 6 ft.

if you are still growing you should not do weights. if you do, make sure you are not working at capacity. For example if you do a bench press and your maximum weight you can press is about 200lbs. you should only do about 70% of your maximum. Meaning you should only ever goto about 140lbs. The reason is because it will make you shorter. You won't be growing properly. Trust me, you don't want to be short. As for home workouts. I would recommend spending the money to buy a set of dumbbells and a work out bench. you can usually find used sets including the bench for under $50. This is a good investment and you can work on almost any muscle group.

Awww... but is that i want to do weights cause im so slim and i want to increase the mass of my muscles for give a better impression. I've tried lots of things to get fatter but i cant' i eat more, i stop doing activity (such as doing sports, run, etc, those activities make people loss weight and i do them so often) but i cant get more weight. Thats why im starting to increase my muscles. But i will try everything people tells me here, i will consider that of stop growing up properly. Also i want to know what kind of food makes people get fatter, as i said, i want to increase my weight.

Go and buy some weights/dumbell, I don't know how much they cost but they're really helpful. I use my brother's weights and they help me alot; if you don't have those then try and lift something small and heavy daily; it should help. Go jogging for leg muscles. I'm pretty sure it's a good age to work out at age 14. I'm a 14 year old girl whos starting to lift weights, and alot of boys nowadays start when theyre 12 or 13; sports and stuff help too. I started at a 10lb weight thing, working my way to 20. Good luck.

Would someone help me? thanks in advanced 1.you could also do squats, squat down can stand again repeatedly(with your legs apart).you dont want to look as if your legs couldn't support your body mass do you?e.g. huge muscles everywhere except legs.  no offence>.< QUOTE I train every part of muscle in me, including finders.
If you want to train your finger strength, try pushing up with fingers,
be creative and do any type of exercise you can think of. 2.for the *lizards*known as push-ups in my country, you could raise yr hand perpendicular to your body hand make your palm into a fist(do this repeatedly) you have to use strength when closing your palm to form a fist this is almost the same with the push-ups, but it is focuses more on your fingers and wrist muscles alot(regardless of sitting/standing/lying on bed..etc). very effective too.  QUOTE And the guy is 15 - unsupervised finger pushups might damage the joints of his fingers. I think we should keep advice safe, as people might act on it. For example, I do an exercise to strengthen my fingers and the grip of my hands that works against a resistance of 60 pounds or more - but I wouldn't advise someone new to exercising to do that exercise - he might easily rip a muscle or tendon, or damage a joint the 2nd method might be the solution of preventing breaking of finger joints:D Also, be sure to rest when you feel tired try it out, it works!

You want to build muscle at your house? Here's how to do it. 1. Eat as much as you have to. You are a man, and men need to it. This will not affect you in a bad way, like making you gain fat, if you just watch what you eat, kind of, and excercise. You can easily manipulate the food into making your muscles swell out. But yes, try to eat healthy. 2. Do the basic excercises that don't require equipment. Keep doing the basic excercises like push-ups, crunches and things. These, of course, help. 3. Buy weights. Weights are two to three times more effective than the basic excercises like crunches, pushups, etc. Just buy them and use them, and they help ALOT. 4. Stretch. You can't imagine how much stretching helps. It helps your muscles swell out like eating the right foods does. It will help alot. I think that will help you out. I hope it does!

Well, I would like to give you one suggestion, do weights, it's safe if you do it but don't do just too much of them, keep them minimal as they alter your growing rate when you are this young, I'm 14 and 5.3 and I used to think that I am old enough too but my Uncle owns a gym himself and he suggested that you shouldn't do weights as of yet. I know your one year elder and an inch longer but still I would advise you to just have minimal weight exercises.

Hmm - I'm posting a tutorial on the best exercises to trigger heavy muscle development. These exercises can be done with either a set of dumb-bells or a barbell - It may be of use to you. My thread should be up in a few hours. Take care, all.
