Everything is dangerous and can potentially cause TONS of injuries. Sleeping is dangerous, walking is dangerous, having sex is dangerous, so is swimming, jogging, etc. Some are just a lil' more dangerous than others.


But i can say this for sure, weightlifting will OWN all other forms of physical exercise in old age. Badminton, jogging, running, high impact sports will take a toll on your body, causing problems like osteoarthrosis, etc.
Weightlifting in old age done in a controlled, safe manner can reverse loss of muscle mass. It has been proven.

weightlifting promotes the secretion of HGH and IGF1 too. not to mention it hardens your bone. especially true for older person.

just compare a sprinter with a marathon runner. one engages in anaerobic activity. the other engages in aerobic activity.

AND, it's proven to have a synergistic effect on your performance in bed.

Okay... i won't go in there further.

so....weight lifting=best?

oh well...guess i have to assemble back the weight lifting 'bed' my bro bought last time...and into the store room i go to find the old dumbbels

what i changed so far:

mates,mates, i am not really aruging that weight lifting is bad, you need proper gudiance thats what i am saying. i know mates who over pumped, or pumped bilndly in desperation to get thin or fit. then judging by their result they didnt do quite well.

my mate ended up short he started in form 3, the result is that he wassnt that fat...but cause he didnt redude his fat ratio further it made him look bloated up. and he has muscle aches all over.

another i've seen was he did when he was thin, body came fit...but looking like a bloody deprived child. his fat ratio was too low.

on paper and with the proper guides its good, one of the best. but wrong posture and all can hurt....

I get your point, but who's advocating wrong posture? In short you should just advocate caution. Using your friend as a template is a matter of semantics. You know mates who're overpumped, etc, etc.
Poor caloric maintenance when requirements are much less after cessation of working out. Bodybuilding isn't jsut about training, proper posture, etc. It's 70 percent diet, 30 percent the rest.

it's most important that u monitor ur progress & find the best way to loss/control weight coz every body reacts differently to various diet or exercise regime.

permanent weight loss regime would only see results perhaps in 3 months time while temporary weight loss programme might give significant results in just 3 weeks, some even 3 days!!

a personal trainer will tell you temporary weight loss regime (e.g. loss 5lb in a week) is useless but the cold hard truth is over-weight people will give up if they dun see any result in 2-3weeks time. immediate weight loss might not be a permanent solution but it sure give you a strong boost to continue your quest to long term weight loss programme

whatever, you do don't starve ur self blindly & make sure the matter you pursue will not jeopardize your health condition.

well wrong postue comes in naturally, i never knew that push ups your back must be stright. i never knew squats that you cant bend your back till recently. if i went bilndly and over pumped with a posture that i didnt know, the results will be bad.

i agree with you on most of that, i am just trying to point out the dangers....through experiences with my mates.

Well, it's obvious you haven't read enough before you start working out.
Who can be blamed for that?
Preparation is important, the better you prepare, the better the results. Haven't you learnnt that?

me? hahaha, nonono.....i dont work out and i know that you must prepare and such. its cause at a norm people wont know what weight to start on, my mate just took the heaviest and did so.

then there is a problem of gowth stun if done wrong

i want to start later next month, but for specific muscles only which i have done some background check on.

Cukup boy.

bring up this topic....got one female fren....she want to lose weight and i suggest her go to gym


Chow.

the simply way...eat less....i loss 12kg in 1 and half months...just eat less....

um no, that only works to benefit someone if they are already over eating.

dun eat lol ...

anyways ... how can weight lifting be bad ... ajajaja ... joker .... anyways .. take roids .. iut helps jajaja
