How does weightlifting make your muscles bigger?
Q. I mean like how does it work. I started weightlifting last year, and I was just wondering how does it work? I know it has something to do with tearing muscle fibers or something.
Asked by Dwight Howard is awesome - Mon Apr 5 12:43:43 2010 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. exactly that lifting weights tears the fibres and they grown back stronger providing you are eating a good diet and enough calories, this is why its important to step the weight up gradually and then your muscles get bigger and bigger each time.

Is there a healthy way to be able to play basketball and also do other leg weightlifting exercises?
Q. I like to get a good cardio workout by playing basketball about 3 or 4 times a week, but I also want to make my legs stronger by doing leg weightlifting exercises like squats. I have been doings squats Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, while playing basketball on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and sometimes Sunday. Is it unhealthy to keep this routine up? I'm worried about overworking my legs. And if it is unhealthy, could you suggest a healthier routine that would allow my legs to rest properly?
Asked by zaQ - Sat May 2 01:00:49 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. No it's not entirely unhealthy. I do the same thing except practice on the weekends and lift on the weekdays. Just make sure you are eating enough to support your activities. Because you are very very active cardio wise, I would just eat more to support your leg weightlifting.
