The Official Stupid Question Thread: PART 2

[CWGame]

What is the lift called when you get a thing you use to bennch and do like a under hand curl with your arms? Is it deadlift? Oh and here are pictures of me, I'm 14 and 5'6, kinda big and 187.4 pounds. I'm trying out for wrestling this Monday and want to start lifting. Should I lose weight first or start lifting? I also got this whey protein pls tell me if it will help. If possible give me an excersize regimen and diet stuff. Pictures on my profile, dunno how to put them on here. BTW I'm in 8th grade and 14

I have no idea what the exercise is you are talking about a deadlift is where you pull the bar from the ground to a locked out position, seems like you are talking about a standing barbell bicep curl.
I would start lifting now get on a beginners routine like stronglifts 5x5, if you want to lose weight you need to cut, meaning eat less calories then it takes to maintain your current bodyweight. To figure out your maintainance calories look up a TDEE calculator and plug in the information.

Great thread. But, what exercises/workout should I do if I am trying to gain weight? Also, how many hours do you think I should workout as person who wants to gain some weight?

Get on a beginner strength routine like stronglifts 5x5

Eat a lot

Learn proper form for all lifts

Be consistent

Sleep well

Workouts usually last 45mins-hour and a half.

I heard protein can't be stored as fat. Is that true? That would mean any surplus I get from it will just go straight to the muscles?

I'm assuming it can't since a excess of calories will be stored as fat, and 1G of protein is 3calories. Just eat about .8 of your bodyweight in protein to get a good amount.

Thanks CWGame.

Is going all the way down, touching the chest needed when Bench Pressing?

[CWGame]

Thanks CWGame.

Is going all the way down, touching the chest needed when Bench Pressing?

Definitely for the main lifts:
Bench:
Unrack, touch your chest, don't bounce it, keep your butt in contact with the bench, fully lock it out.

Squat:
Unrack, squat down to parallel (MAKE SURE ITS PARALLEL, most people think they are parallel when they aren't make sure you are squating low enough cannot emphasize this enough.)

Deadlift:
Start with shins all way to the bar where you are scraping it on the way up. Bring it to a full lockout without resting it on your quads or jerking the bar up with your legs called hitching.

Is there a difference between standing bent over rows and incline bent over rows? Which one isolates the back more?

[CWGame]

Is there a difference between standing bent over rows and incline bent over rows? Which one isolates the back more?

I'm assuming the incline one is where you have your chest against the pad and row it. This takes out any use of your core, which is essential to all main lifts. Its like seated shoulder press as apposed to OHP.

Definitely protein is a key component in building muscle, and recovery.

[AlexanderGEO]

Great thread.

[volkan96]

Which is better for deadlifts, chalk or straps?

[SSJDulli]

If you're on a strength based routine should you only do Military press once a week?

If its the only thing you can do then you have to do it but if you could have a rest day in between somewhere that would be by far more optimal.

[CWGame]

Which is better for deadlifts, chalk or straps?

By far chalk, straps will help more with your grip but chalk is better in my opinion because its only you and your grip strength not a outside source (straps) unless you cannot hold onto the bar with chalk there is no reason to use straps.

[CWGame]

If you're on a strength based routine should you only do Military press once a week?

Usually you only do military press once a week because you are bench pressing usually 2+ which uses your front delts heavily. So if you bench 2+ a week and 2+ military press a week you won't be able to recover well. It may give you better gains in the short run but in the long run you will have to Deload way more often and your shoulders will be fried.

Yesterday my neck was hurting so i did my bicep workout instead of chest and triceps (that day I needed to work chest and tris and the following day biceps) was that counterproductive?

Yep.

Not really if it could of ended in a injury then you did the right thing. If it was a tiny pain that was nothing and you were just making excuses then yeah.

[CWGame]

Stronglifts 5x5 look it up its a strength routine, that with eating in a caloric surplus will also provide muscle mass.

Diet you want to eat complex carbs (brown rice, pasta, whole grain breads, potato's), good fats (monounsaturated fats, and polyunsaturated fats), and a large amount of protein. You want to be eating enough where you are constantly gaining weight at like .5-2lbs a week.
