  3. yoga ,

  4. Trying to gain more muscle, so you need to eat alot of protein and carbs throughout the day, example of foods/drinks with good source of protein or carbs: eggs, milk, cottage cheese, pasta, meat, breads, oatmeal.

    If you want to gain muscle you need to lift enough weight so you don't do more than 6-8 reps, if you can do more than 8 reps in a set then add more weight.  You have to lift big to get big, and you also have to eat big to get big, you don't grow in the gym, you grow out of the gym, so diet is very important.  Do not overtrain, alot of people do that.  Only train each muscle group 1 or 2 times per week, especially if your training hard with heavy weight.  Sleep 8 hours at least every day.

  5. what machines do you have to do this>?

  6. a workout that stimulates your muscles..... one week lift heavy, reps of 4 - 6, 6- 8.

    the next week lift lighter.. reps of 10 - 12...

    workout each muscle once or twice a week depending on how u feel..

    workouts last 40 - 60 mins

    eat more calories, increase proteins..

  7. This is my current routine.

    Day 1: Back and biceps.

    Day 2: Shoulders.

    Day 3: Chest and triceps.

    Day 4: Abs and legs.

    Day 5 & 6: Rest.

    If you do intense workouts as I do, you'll need several days to let those muscles heal. I also do 20 minutes of light cardio everyday.

    I have several exercises I do for each muscle, but I will only use three different ones during each workout session. I do three sets with 6-8 reps per set, this way each muscle group should in total have about 60 reps.

    Every month or so I'll change up the routine to keep my muscles from adapting to a particular routine. Keeping your muscles guessing what's next is the key to getting results.

  8. Bench Press with a cage around it? I'm thinking thats a power rack..and its all you need. Those usually have a bar at the top for pull-ups/chin-ups, You can take the bench away and do squats....use the Barbell for curls, rows, triceps extensions, etc. I will give you a solid routine that will help you gain muscle just using that piece of equipment.

    * Follow this for 4 weeks

    * Lift 3 days a week with at least 1-2 days in between

    * Rest 1-2 minutes between sets

    * Use a weight that is the heaviest you can lift while performing all the prescribed reps with good form

    Day 1

    Bench Press: 4x7-9

    Incline Bench Press: 4x7-9

    Push-ups: 3x15

    BB Curls: 4x7-9

    Reverse Curls: 4x7-9

    Day 2

    Deadlifts: 4x6-8

    Pull-ups: 4x7-9

    Bent-Over Barbell Rows: 4x7-9

    Push Press: 4x7-9

    Upright Rows: 4x7-9

    Day 3

    Squats: 4x7-9

    Romanian Deadlifts: 4x7-9

    Bulgarian Split Squats (no weight): 3x10-12 (each leg)

    Hanging Leg Raises: 4x as many as you can

    Weighted sit-ups: 4x8-12

    *If you dont know what some of the exercises are just google them and you will see examples.
