I want to lift heavier weights in the gym. Can I achieve tat by increasing my body weight or wat? Pls advise..

Answer 1

depending on you're age. if you're young like 13 14 you should start with low weight high reps. if you're older you should do high weight low rep. when the weight you're using gets to easy move it up a couple pound. hope it makes sense and helps!

Answer 2

You don't mention which muscle group you want to build up or your age. You first need to decide on a regimen to follow. Start out by warming up, doing stretches that will loosen up the muscles. Don't lift until you do. Never lift the heaviest weight you can unless you are testing for your max lift and then after warming up. You should work each muscle group with light weights and multiple reps. Your are trying to lengthen the skeletal muscle by resistance. When you lengthen the muscle, some of the fibers will tear. They need to heal 24 hours before you lift again. Alternate upper/lower body lifts. You also need to stretch after you lift. Increasing body weight won't help you lift heavier weight. As you build your muscle tissue you will gain weight, since muscle weighs more than fat.

Answer 3

I tried increasing weight, but because of my slim complexion, overeating just doesn't make me any heavier. I needed extra weight because I thought it could prevent me from being so easily fatigued whenever I run, but the extra pounds never arrived. I continued running every day, and noticed that as I became a better runner, I gained more muscle weight. Keep lifting weights, muscles will build on gradually.

i imagine you perspectives are somewhat faulty cavemen did not look like Arnie to get vast you want to devour vast and also you basic won't be able to attempt this for the time of a hunter gatherer society vast bulk muscle communities may look fantastic yet quite ineffective for searching it quite is both carried out with a bow or spear and neither require tremendous power(spear is genuinely extra precision than rigidity) attempt searching at present day Hunter deliver at the same time tribe from places like Africa or Kenya and also you are able to get a extra helpful idea of a caveman's body. carry weights and also you are able to get larger you get larger because you're tricking your body into imagine all this further paintings is an major interest so your body makes your muscle communities more beneficial and extra useful to make the paintings a lot less stressful. Strict regimes are quite in basic terms meant for experts being waiting to do the 100 meter sprint 3/10ths of a 2d swifter might want to get them a gold medal really than silver, if i grow to be to advance my time by an same volume it would want to change no longer something. certain it will make a distinction it in basic terms may no longer make a distinction on your existence

Answer 5

that depends on how much you weigh right now...if you weigh 300 pounds of fat, then no. If you are 185 pounds of muscle or have low bodyfat, then maybe. You do not want to think of strength in this way unless you are a powerlifter. I know of guys who weigh 220 pounds for a contest and bench press 600+ and then when they drop to 180 or lower, their bench press iss in the 500 pound range. Unless you are at your full strength and mass potential, I do not suggest using the weight gaining route. Try to change up your workout instead. If you are training high volume (15-20 sets x 15+ reps per set)
then switch to a low volume (5-8 sets X 3-6 reps per set) for a month or two. You have to trick your muscles into getting stronger just like you have to trick them into growing sometimes. If you would like...tell me what excercises you would like to grow stronger in and I will do my best to help you.

Answer 6

Your body makes more muscle tissue as it recovers from stress during your workouts. As your strength gradually increases, add weight. Your body will adapt to the stress and add more muscle to tolerate the added labor of lifting more weight. Do it gradualy, tho. If you add too much, too fast you can tear muscle fibers. Then, you will be SOL. Have fun...good luck...

Answer 7

strength is increased as a function of the training not by an increase of the total bodyweight. by progressively overloading the muscles strength is increased.

here is an example using flat bench barbell bench press

Monday:
working sets
3x185x8

Wednesday:
working sets
3x190x6-8

Friday:
working sets
3x200x6-8

or

Friday:
working sets
3x190x8-10

* the more efficient that you become at an exercise typically the easier it is to gain strength in that exercise. if your training is not structured meaning every time you train chest you perform different exercises then the last chest day it is much, much harder to become efficient at an exercise. keep a training log to track your progress. if you hit a plateau in say the flat bench barbell bench press then switch to using the incline bench as your primary chest exercise for several months, etc.
