BodyAnswers: Suggest A Question?

[admin]

Do you have an idea for a question that we should ask all BodySpace members? Post it here!

Ryan

[lbdb18]

the questions you ask for biceps and triceps, ask those same questions for every body part (chest, back, shoulders, traps, quads, hams, calves, traps, abs, forearms).

[OTOninM]

i'm not sure if i'm repeating what he's saying but you should add more exercises to the 1 rep max chart.
like the "barbell bench press" and "barbell curl" you have those 2& more now(6 in total) you guys need 10 in all and then bb.com can get a little/a lot more funner!

[Eclectic1]

A question about your training philosophy?

[Evian]

I can't post any answers at all.

When I click a category and this window pops out.

http://bay01.imagebay.com/_upload/img/26/fdsf.jpg

This happens when I click a category to fill in my answers and when I want to view member's answers.

[crlgrl]

I'm getting the same error!!!!

[wellbuilt]

1) I'm like the above except I don't get any message at all--I just find that my answers don't show up after I have clicked "save"

2) The questions assume that I workout at a gym (e.g. Do you socialize?). If there was a note in the drop down that said "work out at home" or "not applicable" that might be better.

Gym etiquette should include a question or two about racking weights, and maybe your preference for racking them. No one has a clue about racking weights at my gym or is even aware that most people dont want to dig through 45's and 10's to find a 25 plate.... its ridiculous and if i didnt work there i wouldnt train there for that reason. >:|

for instance, i believe the 45's on a smith machine should be placed at stomach/chest level, not on the back-breaking bottom post, same for Hammer Strength Equipment, and Benches. and at the very least, keep all weights racked together

[Jesse12345]

I think more questions regarding cardio would be great. It'd be interesting to find out how others manage to stay motivated to do that extra 10 mins, or run that last couple laps.

Excellent point..I waste a half hour before each of my work-outs due to this.

[bb704]

MOTIVATION... So many people start training and Quickly Loose interest. It would be very interesting to see what others use as insperation, and Motivation, to stay Focused.

[IRISH23]

how about if they ever had a trainer or not?

[Euqinom]

Trainingsplit preference? Full body, UB/LB, numerous splits..
same for specific protocols

[Cr4zYH3aD]

What are your motivational quotes...that would be a really nice one to ask, full of knowledge and wisdom. With multiple answer, not just one quote.

[No-Exit]

How much time do you spend on the forums and is it for information or the community/support?

or

What other forums are you a part of? (guages the variety of interests people may have)

[Dmaster]

I feel that this is a pretty good question that could be added to the motivation section.

1.What, in your opinion, is the biggest challenge that people face when trying to make a change in their lives?

[The.Giant]

What about the time it takes them to run a mile?

[BeckieA]

what supplements do you find most beneficial to gaining mass and losing fat?
What is your optimal level of calories for gaining muscle and losing fat?

How does your bodytype help or hinder your progress in the gym?
What do you look for in a personal trainer?

[TheDukeUSMC]

What BBer's have you met

Do you have an idea for a question that we should ask all BodySpace members? Post it here! Ryan

* Do you believe that your bodybuilding has made a positive impact on your life and the life of your family?

* Would you recommend the sport to your youngest son or daughter?

What music if any do you listen to

- I attended the first Arnold Classic and got a Polaroid snapshot with Arnold himself. At the seminar the next day, I asked a question and it was recorded in an issue of the NPC News. (Yes, bodybuilding nerd alert! :))

Other bodybuilders I've met include Mike and Ray Mentzer, Larry Scott, Dave Draper, Lenda Murray, Frank Hillebrand, Ron Love, Jackie Paisley, Markus Ruhl, Gustavo Badell, Victor Martinez, Ron Teufel, John Grimek, and many others at the Arnold, and area bodybuilding competitions. I love this sport.

Sadly, both Mentzers, John Grimek, and Ron Teufel have passed away.

- I train because I want to build muscle and strength.

- I stopped because I was paying too much attention to an unhealthy relationship.

- The local Gold's Gym and also Planet Fitness are where I typically train, but tonight I visited the YMCA as Gold's wussed out because of a little snow! :D

- I have a training partner, but have no problem working out alone.

- No music other than what's piped into the gym. On squat days (5 or 6 minutes between sets) I might actually read a few pages from a paperback between sets.

Good questions. Thanks!

[curt_james]

I want to Gain Muscle Mass so tell me plz what should i use ? can i use Whey Protein ?or tell me some good supplement thanks

I weigh about 185 and have been trying to eat about 200 to 250 grams of protein each day. Calories are important and I've been eating just over 4000 calories per day as well. Is it difficult to get lots of food where you are?

As a teen I could never get enough food, unfortunately and certainly didn't count grams of protein or calories.

Now that my eating is more on target, I believe it's been a benefit to my gaining weight, muscle, and strength.

[curt_james]

What is your favorite muscle magazine and why?

What bodybuilding book would you recommend?

How were you introduced to bodybuilding as a sport?

Do you consider bodybuilding a sport, an art, or something in between?

What physique is ideal in your opinion for men's and women's bodybuilding competitors?

[U295]

Can we get an option to disable some of these stuff, like the question part....

[BayAreaBiker]

Do you use a pedometer, cyclometer, or GPS during a run or bike ride?
How often do you check your weight? Your measurements?

[BayAreaBiker]

I routinely use a GPS during bike rides, marking my location at 10-60 minute intervals.

[chuckles_345]

Favorite bodybuilder(s)?

What BBer's have you met

Why do you train

Why did you start/stop training before

What gym do you train at

Do you workout alone

What music if any do you listen to

Is this thread "read only"? Apologies in advance, but these are great questions!

I met Ron Teufel, Lenda Murray, Ron Love, Mike Katz, Bill Grant, Frank Hillebrand, Sonny Schmidt, Victor Martinez, Gustavo Badell, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and more!

I train to maintain and hopefully improve my physique. Strength, appearance, counter the effects of aaaaging. :)

Planet Fitness and Gold's Gym both get membership fees from me.

I have a training partner, but enjoy working out alone as well.

Not a big music fan while working out. Whatever they broadcast over the speakers is good for me.

...

Who adds the questions to the current list? I mean from the suggestions below.

[vicky20jak]

1. Which are your favorite training exercises:
Dumbbells,Barbell,Machine or Body weight Exercises.

2. Have you ever ordered supplements through bodybuilding.com? what is your feedback.

[black_socks]

Ask what if we use free weights, machines and for what body parts and how far into exercise program.. I'd like to know how others use machines to complement their free weight workouts. I watched the getting cut with Glass vids and I really learned about by his theory on how to workout hard and make sure you don't injure yourself.

[TheDukeUSMC]

If you're in the military how do you find time to workout?

[vicky20jak]

Military or civil... personal fitness is a passion and the body which we use for each and every thing we do, surely deserves 1-2 hours per day...
as regarding free weights, when i initially started, i tried all three..mahines, barbells and dumbells. later on i stuck ro dumbells and purchased my own BOWFLEX SELECTTECH DUMBELLS and SELECTTECH 3.1 BENCH. Certain advantages of dumbells over barbells and machines are..
1. A set of dumbells provide with exercises that can give you full body workout.
2. You can carry your dumbells around.
3. Since tthe time i've purchased my dumbells, i don't have to go to gym and wait for my turn for a partiular exercise... or listen to some crap music which is being played. i workout at home with my favourite music being played in background.
4. I don't have to stick to gym timings. i have freedom to workout at 4 AM or even when waiting for dinner.

This is how i take out time even while being in military.

[CarolinaGurl]

yeah, having those things work would be a good thing, everytime I answer them they don't save my answers so I have just quit trying.

[AudraLee]

What do you think about the usage of steroids and its overall long term affect? Would you/would you not use steroids? Why?

[oregonpanthers]

What training variable do you feel is the most important to your training progress?

Intensity
Volume
Frequency
Loads
Reps
Time under tension

[DrummerDan]

I think you should ask on which sets they train to failure. I have been getting a lot on conflicting stuff whether to train each set to failure or only the last

[KRaye]

"What is your favorite cheat meal?" "What is your favorite source of protein?" "Do you use plyometrics?"

I just answered at least half of the questions, got done, and realized it didn't save any of my answers for some reason. & I clicked save answers! ?

Do you have an idea for a question that we should ask all BodySpace members? Post it here!

Ryan

I would like to know from the members who are in great shape (very low body fat %) what type of cardio is best at taking fat off and keeping it off. 45-60 minutes at 65% MHR or 20-30 minutes at 85% MHR? How many times a week.

[Captain Ahab]

Do you feel you have benefited from exercise routines you have found on Bodybuilding.com or would you rather see the ones used by the pros from magazine articles?

[Zcarface86]

Do you feel you have benefited from exercise routines you have found on Bodybuilding.com or would you rather see the ones used by the pros from magazine articles?

yeah that a good idea. Put users' comments/feedback on the bb.com articles or put some rating on it or sumthing.

[onechance7]

What level of training and diet do I have to do to reach my goal and why aren't I at that level?

Also I would like if ye put up a 1rep max for the power clean on the main profile page

[joestyle79]

Looking at me, my body fat content is still about 19%. I dont have the mass i wanted and the body i dream off. What is the best trainning, supplement, and eating plans anyone have to suggest. Hope those who have tried it personally can help

[patrickgreen628]

i'd like to answer these questons, but it won't save my answers.

this is frusterating...

i hope this won't be ignored, because i see that i am not the only member with this problem.

anything i could do to help solve this problem?

thank you for your time.

[AbsoloFitness]

What is the most revolutionary, new piece of fitness equipment you have seen or used that gives you an intensive core workout?

[10spro]

I think general knowledge of the sport of bodybuiling is essential to learn how far the sport has come and in someways hasn't changed from the outset. Perhaps a question like.." Do you have a sense of the founders of modern bodybuiling, C1950's to present, and their phylosophies of training?"

[Y_Ddraig_Goch]

How do you measure personal success? Long-term or short-term goals? Small Victories or Defeats?

[Vegana-Phoenixa]

On average how long do you stay dedicated at the gym?
What causes you to fall off the wagon?
What drives you?

[oakland6913]

[foreal]

For some reason when I am reading someones BodyAnswers and it is a long response, the "more" button will not work. Is this a website error? I have tried both internet explorer and mozilla.

*What piece of advice would you give someone who is beginning bodybuilding? (i.e. What have you learned over time that you wish you had known when you started out?)

[echo.shane]

can some one expain to me what does reps mean and 2x6x6 or something like that. and what does 3 sets of 10 mean. im really new at this. m 18 years old just wan2 tone up

[foreheadstrong]

Lifting to much, some guys think they have to lift real heavy in front of others to make them look strong. Leave your ego at home , so what if your lifting the 20 pounds and everyone is lifting the 50 and 60, you'll get there one day as long as your train right lift smart strech before and after working out and take your time, your muscles arent going anywhere.

I think this should be read by everyone, any questions email me sector6331@aol.com

[foreheadstrong]

can some one expain to me what does reps mean and 2x6x6 or something like that. and what does 3 sets of 10 mean. im really new at this. m 18 years old just wan2 tone up

3 sets of 10 means, example if your lifting a dumbell you lift 10 times then rest and do it again then rest then lift again, you lift for a total of 30 times but split into 3 sets, resting between 45 seconds and one minute each ten reps

[jcwmf1]

When i go to answer the questions i just click on it and nothing shows up. i think they need to fix this error because apparently im not the only one...

[roseycheeks83]

The questions are not there!!!
Whats up with that???

[jtwill85]

I'm knitpicking here but I'm slightly OCD about things. Under Training exercises, it says there's 11 questions and you can only answer 10. Is there a question missing or was it simply numbered wrong?

Lot of good question suggestions here as well

[NewDeal69]

Hi there,

Is there a problem with the saving of the bodyanswers? I have been filling out as much as possible, and saving them of course, but the system did not save anymore, it stopped half way! Good luck, Michael


Do you have an idea for a question that we should ask all BodySpace members? Post it here!

Ryan

[NewDeal69]

Rep=repetition, 2x6x6 means 2 reps, 6 reps, 6 reps this is called a set. 3 sets of 10 means 3 times 10 reps. good luck!

[Big Lewis]

are there any upcoming promotional contest like the muscle tech contest coming up?

[cornflakeskid]

So I think i'm finally discovering how important my core is. Because I've decided that the muscle I gain has to be useful, I want to make sure I put it on the right way.

I've never taken good enough care of the bod - not enough stretching, or core exercises over the years of being active. And to be honest, if I was at the gym, I wanted the work there to be visible - chest, arms, legs - something you could see. Consequently my hips/pelvis have always been tight, even painful at times. I hate stretching, i'm not sure that it's dealing with some inherent weakness in there anyways. My sis is a pilates instructor and i'm thinking I might have something to learn there. Dumb idea? Any other suggestions?

I want to build the pyramid right this time, from the ground up so I don't get deterred by pain or injury. I appreciate the feedback!

Every time I answer a question and hit the save button it erases the answer for a few tries and then it will stick. I think there might be some errors in the coding. Have the web master take a look at it from a reg account to see what I mean about the Bodyspace questions.

[Acesopro]

Yea I'm not able to save my answers either :( Admin, fix this! :D

[Aeric]

It saved a couple of the answers I wrote, but most of them (9 out of 10 or so) ended up being blank after I saved. I've tried a couple of times again to write answers, but I haven't got any more to stick. It seems to be broken.

[Jattfusion]

most of the bbers lie about their supps and diet and throw phrases such as "super human metabolism" when they could be on some other stuff.

How about adding some widgets there calories calculator. Workout days calendar. Allow users to add their meal plan if any1 wanted to look at ur meal plan, they could by just clickin on that feature.

[koosh27]

My question is this---We all see bodybuilders with huge rippling abs. ex. Ronnie Coleman Even though we all want a six pack, we want to keep our waist small as well. ex. Brad Pitt When you exercise a muscle it gets stronger, more toned, and bigger. What is a good ab exercise, and what is the proper number of reps, sets, and times per week to get a good, strong, ripped, core without putting a lot of muscle on your abs like a body builder? In other words, a ripped but lean six pack?

[Gorath]

I think a good one would be for fatties like me who are making big changes to our lives,

How have you dealt with excess skin/stretch marks?

Not pleasant I'll grant you, but something people like me need to be concerned with!

[mneugeba]

I'm guessing this board is not being monitored by BB.com developers any longer. Many users are complaining about their body answers not saving properly, but I don't see any responses.

Well, just in case:
I too was unable to update/save many body answers (a few went through, but they were the exception).

I can tell you I'm running a system with Vista (32 bit) and I tried using Chrome and Internet Explorer (version 7) - both browsers failed to save in the same areas.

Have you had a question about bodybuilding on a budget? Let's face it not only are supplements outrageous, but just getting good high quality food is expensive. I feel that is part of the reason why so many Americans, especially kids, are obese. Also the amount of soy proteins in school lunches might make an interesting discussion. I went to White Water park in ATL this summer and never saw so many young men with pointy breasts...it was creepy. (I kept my currently sagging 44 year old pecs beneath a t-shirt.)

not sure but your only 13. your body (bones and muscles) are still growing don't go to big or heavy and hurt yourself. tone and moderate size are great. don't be in a hurry to get huge, give your body a chance to grow. the bigger you get the more damage you can do to yourself. good luck and good for you on your motivation!

I have heard that after 45 minutes working out, testosterone is used up and continuing to work out for longer is a waste of time.
It's hard to get a lot of sets done in 45 minutes. Obviously, the faster you go, the higher your 'intensity' and intensity is a good thing; but there are limits.
How do you feel about this 45 minute rule?

[on the questionaire where it asks ..." training exercises"....it says"11 out of 10" all the time....but there is no place to put 11 answers...only 10....can you fix?

[mwingo1135]

My favorite exercise is the Leg press and on the body stats it is not an option where you can enter your max 1 rep leg press.

[mwingo1135]

I once wrote a message on here about a need to add Leg Press as one of the options to track. I now see why its not on there.

Its not there because its a machine assisted and the ones mentioned are free weight in nature.

Which is cool because bodybuilding has its site so well structured that you grow in your understanding of health and wellness the more you use the overall site.

[adamwilkins1]

Alright so im deployed right now and I have some questions. The gym here isn't exactly Gold's we dont have cables and still waiting. I have been working on the beach body look, for leave, since i got here with the usual trouble areas- Lower abs, lovehandles/obliques, and the very tip of my pecs underneath the nipples. These areas seem to be the hardest to get ride of that last little bit of fat. Any ideas? Also we really dont have a choice of what we eat here, but when i do i take fat into thought and try to eat as little as possible.

Are there any bodybuilders, fitness competitors, or weight lifters that has recently been diagnosed with cancer? Does anyone have questions concerning how to train around surgeries, biopsies, and cancer treatment such as radiation and chemo therapy?

[datuna13]

Hey,

Im 16 year olds. 5 11 and weigh 167lbs im interested in dramatically increasing my body weight well at the same time not getting fat. I workout twice a day and have a very good routine that my hockey trainer has helped me put together. Along side with working out, i want to create an affective supplement plan. I currently have n.o 370, glutamine, carb complex, and pro 5 whey protein. I was wondering if anyone could give me some suggestions of a schedule of when i should use these. ie. before workout, after workout, during my rest days, with meals, and how often etc.. Also, if you have any suggestions of supplements that you use i would like to know.

Thanks,

[avirmani7]

the questions you ask for biceps and triceps, ask those same questions for every body part (chest, back, shoulders, traps, quads, hams, calves, traps, abs, forearms).

Hi,

I am working out since couple of years but my chest mass is not that much gained that i expected, Center line is not prominent, Plz tel me what to do ?

Thanks

[Leroy25]

What BBer's have you met

Why do you train

Why did you start/stop training before

What gym do you train at

Do you workout alone

What music if any do you listen to

So far I've only met Fouad Abiad who is a big inspiration to me and the one and only Ronnie Coleman. I train because I want to achieve a body I can be proud of. It takes a lot of hard work and it's something I love to do. I usually workout at home because it's easier and I have pretty much everything I need. I often only hit the gym on leg day so I can use the leg press machine.

I usuallu workout alone because I like to be able to get in the zone when I train. I dont like having to worry about other people around me. I usually have some rock music playing but it doesn't really matter. You shouldn't need music to get intense in the gym.

Hi,

I am working out since couple of years but my chest mass is not that much gained that i expected, Center line is not prominent, Plz tel me what to do ?

Thanks

I find that the more incline pressing I do the better. I found the by doing flat bench for so long that I had almost NO upper chest. I began doing incline bench press, incline dumbbell press and pushups with my feet elevated and found my chest to become overall better.

Hope this helps

[Leroy25]

can some one expain to me what does reps mean and 2x6x6 or something like that. and what does 3 sets of 10 mean. im really new at this. m 18 years old just wan2 tone up

Reps refers to lifting the weight. For example 5 reps of barbell curl would be you curling the weight up 5 times.

3 sets of 10 means you do an exercise for 10 reps 3 times. If you were doing the barbell curl for 3 sets of 10, you would start by doing your first 10 curls, then take a break (45seconds - 2 minutes). Now you would begin your second set by doing another 10 curls. You take another break and finish with your 3rd and final set of 10.

Hope this helps

I looked through the questions and didn't bother to answer any of them. Any answers I put in are specific to what seems to work for me, what preferences I have, etc. None of that will be of use to anyone who reads it unless they are my clone - and as far as I know, I don't have one of those. Also, a number of the questions are way oversimplified, assuming the person uses just one training pattern and never changes it.

Please give me ideas on what I should buy to replace those meals. They only thing i have close to a kitchen is wal mart and my mini fridge.

I would like to see questions about competitions. I just did my first show last weekend and I had a whole bunch of questions about drying out and tanning and makeup etc luckily I was able to pretty much wing it but I think I would help a lot of people if these things are addressed.

[anticubicle]

"Do you play any Sports?"

[fuzi]

How about this one :

Hello everybody, tell everybody here the best supplement that you had used it and pay off. To me is Brainquick because the brain control the growth. Everything ! Your burn fat system, metabolism, your muscle and most everything

[fuzi]

For example;

How about sharing everybody stack supplement or ask them what you want BB.com sell ( new product ).

[fuzi]

.....yeah, try oat with casein for replacment food. Glucose with isolate whey for post work out and breakfast. Don't forget the multi vitamin and fatty fat

[HuyyNguyen]

A good question is "How do you keep motivated from being tempted by junk food and going out with friends."

What would the best approach be to tan for two competitions that are two weeks apart without one messing up the look of the other?

[yuanan]

Hey Ryan - I'm wondering what the best way to calculate body fat % is. I have done it both by using BMI and by using wrist size and hip size. They are coming out about 3% different. Which way is the best?

[nukid3030]

I'm trying to get cut/tone out but also gain weight in muscle. Currently on Jim Stoppani's 12 week shortcut to size program. Wondering if I should be stuffing my face and doing moderate cardio or if I should be going all out with cardio in an attempt to drop my body fat percentage from 11 to a possible 9. 6'3" male 183lbs. Any suggestion greatly appreciated.

Could anyone Help me with this question ??

I have Polands Syndrome - this is quite a rare condition that i was born with causing me to be born without a right pectoral muscle, it causes me alot of discomfort now and again but at the minute its becoming impossible to raise my arm above my head from the pain, ive been to the docs and there is not alot they can do apart from pain medication or surgery to transfer my lat muscle into where the pec is missing (which i would prefer to avoid). ive never been able to do anything that involves shoulders or chest =( this i have lived with so its become the norm for me ! But in January this year after training legs i was rushed into hospital and found out i had an inguinal hernia, i had this repaired but still get alot of pain and have become weak when it comes to squatting or evan simple sit ups !!!

Has anyone has either of these issues and how have you worked around them - my motivation is dropping and ive gained weight... i feel that i was never destined to train =( HELP PLEASE !!

I'm not sure if this has been posted but I am using safari as a browser and when I click save, nothing happens and all my answers disappear.

Also on the workout tracker (which is awesome) When I delete an exercise in my workout template, the exercise above it, the information I entered is also deleted.

Just a couple bugs I've noticed.

Other than that I love the new system

Hello I'm new to BB.com. I have a question that I never can get a lot of info on. How does a blue collar guy who works on the road all week start and keep a workout routine? I work off all week and stay in motels that most of the time don't have gyms in them I also have to share a company truck with5 guys through the week so I can't really go to gyms wherever I am. "Mostly because the towns I stay in are small and don't have gyms in them" also what is a good weight loss diet for a guy in my situation. Please help

[El_ganso]

This is still a problem
Having the same problem. Was this ever fixed ??

[triggsta]

Having the same problem. Was this ever fixed ??

It appears that they never knew about the problem. I messaged them and told them of my problem. I eventually had to make a fancy little video documenting my issue and they thought it was strange and that they had never seen it before so they forwarded it to the techies. Hopefully it's being worked on right now, but that was a few weeks ago and I have heard nothing since.
