Muscle Building

Tinkerbell asked:


In order to build muscle mass, do I first have to build muscle? I am very confused. I have been lifting weights for 2 months and I am toning up, but I want to bulk up my legs and hips. How? Repetitions/weights? What should I be eating? (Currently 1200-1400 calories daily) I don’t want my upper body any larger. Is this what you call weight distribution? A lot of questions, I know… Give me your best shot.

My only question now is how much weight should I lose before I take focus off of burning fat and instead to building muscle?

Thanks very much to anyone that can help.

After years or being beaten up and ignored by women I have decided that I am going to start body building but I am slightly chubby now and the last time I worked out in high school I gained lots of muscle and fat and then the muscle went and the fat never left. I am going to take protein and eat healthy, I am using the Dave Drapper workout. I want to know how I can lose fat while building the muscle is this possible. Thanks Im not obeast at all just slight chubby. Thanks

Like, I don’t want to just be skinny. Because I already am at a perfect weight. I just don’t want to gain fat. I want to gain muscle. Which I am lacking muscle…

Is Atkins a good diet plan to help me do this? Or no?

What would you suggest in building muscle but not gaining fat? Its hard to have a lot of muscle and little fat because gaining muscle must mean you have to eat a lot. right?

someone help me out here?

Whenever I exercise I tend to build muscle which just makes me look bigger. How can I get slimmer and have a more feminine body rather than muscular?

So im trying to build muscle in my chest, arms, and abs. I’ll have a good work out plan going for maybe up to a week, and then I’ll just stop. It will seem like there are other things I need to do, and my goals just disapear. After a while, I’ll pick it up again and start working out for about a week and then the same thing happens. How can I stay motivated and stick to my workout plan?

I’m male, 19 years old, 5′11″ 185lbs, I’m fairly muscular and I’m currently working out hard to put on more muscle mass. My ideal weight for myself in my current condition is about 178lbs or so, however, I have been told that doing cardio such as running is counter productive for muscle growth. Is this true and is it possible for me to maintain very low body fat while building muscle or is the extra weight just something I have to deal with for the meantime until I get the size I want?
