i mean growing big is eventually unavoidable



i loved how you assumed it is so easy to get big. or maybe we have different perceptions of 'big'

So i finally had access to a cheap gym. First time in my life i entered a gym.

1. Is it normal that the machine make a lot of noise when i release and drop the weight? The load of the machine collided because i released a little too fast and it kinda made some noise i dunno if it will spoil the machine.

2. What about the tempo of pushing and releasing the load? I saw on video tutorials those people usually carry the load and release slowly, but in the gym, i saw some of the other ppl doing it fast. I find it easier to do more when i do it fast too.

3. There was this leg pressing machine and when i used it, i tried to reach my maximum by setting it as heavy as possible. But when it reaches around 80 kg, when i push i feel the pressure in my knees, there was no pain but i can feel the pressure, i assume this is bad for the knees, no? Is it suppose to be like that? Cause i dont wanna end up having insufficient joint liquid when my time comes, like many sports athletics, our body cant secrete joint liquids right?

4. My friend told me that he needs to exercise in the gym to help recovering from his sports injury. So something is new here, i thought our body is suppose to rest while waiting for the injury to recover. How does gyming helps recovering an injury?

5. I am eating 3 eggs every day i work out in a gym. Is it enough?  sweat.gif  sweat.gif

6. Sometimes when i work on the abs loading machine, instead of feeling the pressure on the abs, i feel part of it on my legs too, is that normal? Or does it means i am doing it wrongly?
*
1. control the weight. machine weights should not touch the bottom weights unless its the end of the rep. even so, lower it as slowly as you can. dropping weights is just plain rude.
2. people are doing it fast because its easier. always control the negative portion of the rep, dont drop it down.
3. when you do a jump dont you feel the pressure as well? dont worry about it, just dont go too heavy too fast.
4. ask your friend? though from experience, i have recovered from knee injury. lifting weights might have be a factor.
5. no.
6. depends on the machine.

already explained...I shouldn't be saying this. but i am new to this field, and i have things i dont understand. so i guess it explains everything, right no?

What i type in the reply, is a reply. Its really not a good idea to start reading from a reply.
its a reply to a topic thread started by you in regards of the topic. tell me how is it deviating, unless you deviated yourself? i read from the beginning, who do you know reads from the middle of the thread? i just didnt have the time to reply to all your questions just now.

what i dont get is why would you post this in a bodybuilding thread when you specifically said you weren't interested in bodybuilding?
