Question #31: Is HANUMAN the TRUE FOUNDER of BODYBUILDING???
Whenever ancient statues, idols and other Hanuman related remnants are excavated, the physique and body structure of the hanuman imagery is muscular and built to such an extent that he must have been advaned in bodybuilding. The ancients must have been aware of the effects of bodybuilding on the body structure to be able to build statues so accurate in so far as the physique. Moreover, when carbon dating is used to ascertain the age, the age is classed as being thousands of years old - a time when bodybuilding didn't even exist.Moreover, the ancient vedic civilisations was believed to be advanced in sports and fitness and the hindu texts encourage wrestlers and bodybuilders to worship Hanuman. In Greek Mythology there is a deity that is described in terms strikingly resembling Hanuman and the Greek deity was also renowned for his bodybuilding prowess. Is HANUMAN the TRUE FOUNDER of BODYBUILDING???

Answer: Oh yeah, man!!! But... isn't he being too hairy?By the way, I've been seeing very muscular Shri Ganesh statues in Thailand lately. You might want to be interested in them. They're SEXY, man! No joke!

Question #32: in bodybuilding terminology, what is meant by (1)MAss Gaining Routine and 2) Muscle Defining Routine?
I am 24 years old, and i am doing Bodybuilding from last 5 months.I need some advice, in many differnet bodybuilding magazines and video DVD's , i see two things. 1) MAss Gaining Routine2) Muscle Defining RoutineKindly tell me that which technique iu can follow according to my age.

Answer: Your at a great age to follow which ever you desire. Mass Gaining Routines are mostly for body builders. This routine will enlarge the muscle while the Defining will basically give you a nice cut but you will not be large! So if you want to gain size then go with mass, if you want to look good for the ladys and be cut go for the defining!

Question #33: bodybuilding?
hey i need some help here...i wanna build up. to be stronger and look better. but...the gym nearby has only the following1) free weights2) leg lifts (thighs)3) lat pulldown4) the same machine as lat pulldown but works yr bicep 5) chest/incline/shoulder press6) exercise matcould some1 suggest a training plan/regime (something like 1-2 times a week cuz im busy!) that i should follow 2 achieve my objectives? thankyou!

Answer: If you want to tone your arms and lats do the lat pull down, 12 reps at a weight that gets you just to the 12th and you can't do one single more.Before you do any of it, do a warm up set with about 60 to 70% of the weight you will be working with.Repeat it 3 times with 1 to 2 min rest in between.To tone your legs do leg lifts (same as above).For your shoulder and chest do the same with the incline/shoulder press.Be careful to do it all in a posture indicated in the machine or you may injure yourself. If there are no figures in the machine ask someone to show you how.I can not prescribe free weights without watching you do it, it is too prone to injury. I am a Fitness Trainer.The best is to exercise 3 times a week, but it is better to do two than none. When you are done exercising go to the mat and do some stretching.For example by slowly bending forward and trying to touch your toes (it does not matter if you can't yet) than stretching backward (as if you were being pulled by hands and legs by a medieval torture machine).Go for it. A regular exercise program is one of our best activities to improve our general health and appearance. The other is eating right.

Question #39: Bodybuilding?
I have always thought about starting bodybuilding, but have never gotten around to figuring it out. =( I'm 16 years old, around 5'8" and about 125 pounds. First off am I to young to even start bodybuilding? I've heard its not good to start too young. Also I don't understand how do you know what to work out each day? In the future I want to look like the pros Jay Cutler and etc... but for now I just would like to get a 6 pack and a more defined looking body. How should I start out with this? Please help.... thanks =D

Answer: Alright, I would say that you're not to young to start training for body building. Your not going to magically get HUMONGOUS muscles gains in a year, so there is no risk. Baisc prinicples of body building. NEVER train the same muscle group two days in a row. Even if you arent sore, you muscles still need to recover. Most people go arms monday, legs tuesday, resting on wednesay, arms on thursday, legs on friday, and then some people work on the weekend or take it off. I personally prefer at least two days off a week so my muscles have extra time to recover. Now, remember, body builders arent that strong actually. They want to look awesome, so they eat HORRIBLY to have like 3% body fat and make their veins pop out for competitions. Not good at all. That is professional body building though. The strongest men in the world are actually some pretty big guys with plenty of body fat on them so they're muscles arent very defined. It all depends on what you want. There are exercise techniques good for building muscles and those that are good for building strength (two different things, however there are hybrid techniques that do a little bit of both at the same time.) For more information, I would suggest going to
http://www.bodybuilding.com and going to the supersite, not the store site.

Question #40: bodybuilding?
How do I start to get into bodybuilding. I'm 6'5" and 275, I'm also 25 years old, have I missed the peak?

Answer: I am also 6'5", I started when I was 27 and around 300 pounds, it is never too late, I now weigh 225 but I got myself down to 185, so it's possible but I would not recommend getting that thin, I looked anorexic. Just starting out I would recommend light cardio 3 times a week with a little weight lifting mixed in and gradually switch to weight lifting more often, depending if you just want to loose weight or gain muscle.
