Kung fu as in Chinese Martial Art… Is originally taught by Tat Mo a traveling Monk from India to a small Shaolin Monestary. It’s said that Tat Mo teach them to use Brooms, Stick and other daily tools to chase wild animal off their temple without killing them (Shedding Blood is a sin).
This is where Kung fu Later evolving… Even that time there are already exist traditional Martial arts such as Shuai Jiao (Chinese Judo) or even a style called Xing Yi Quan (Invented by Yue Fei) Yue Fei has a huge body by the way. He teach his generals the arts of Xing Yi.
Later Chinese Found that by practicing Chi, they can get much more Power… Even to take on man with a larger size then they are. Styes such as Ba Gua Zhang (Yin Fu is considered tall and skinny), Ba Qi Quan (Li Shu Wen is consider to be short) Wing Chun (see Yip Man Picture) and other chinese martial artist that time.
There is even a lot of Chinese Martial art style that require bigger Muscle… Such as Hung Ga, or even Pan Nam Wing chun… Their principle of pressing using forward movement can be achieve more effectively by acquiring a much more body weight.
So it’s depend on the style… For me i study styles with lineage of a smaller and skinnier founder =) because i’m not as big as other guy (173 Cm height 56 Kg weight). But i still can defeat bigger opponent then me. If you have larger body… It’s an advantage use it wise =) but if you don;t have it… Use your head not your strength =)

You have to eat the right kind of foods to build muscle. Namely, protein. Eating shed loads of McDonalds isn’t going to put on anything but more fat.

For muscle definition, to get the muscles to show through layers of subcutaneous fat, you have to lower your body fat percentage. The best way to do this is to eliminate starchy refined carbohydrates from your diet. Carbohydrates convert to glucose (a sugar) in your body. A tiny bit of this sugar is converted to glycogen which is stored as fuel for your muscles, but the vast majority of it is stored as fat.

There’s a pretty simple formula for getting in shape–eat less and exercise more. However, if you’re trying to gain mass, I wouldn’t recommend doing a lot of cardio. However, this doesn’t mean that you should not do ANY cardiovascular training. It’s simply that it’s not as important to you if you’re trying to build muscle. Nobody will be able to see all of that beautiful muscle, however, if it’s under a layer of fat. The most common problem area is the stomach–you may have six pack abs, but nobody can see them if you have belly fat.

That being said, your solution should be to go to the gym three to four days a week and lift HEAVY weights which make you fail after about four repetitions-this will make you big. Later if you decide you want to go back and tone your muscle you may decide to use light weights with lots of reps.

Don’t ignore your cardio though. I would recommend starting at three days a week, 45 minutes per day, though most health experts will say that you should get at least 30 minutes per day.

Good luck!

I’ll just add to everyone’s excellent answers…

I’d look for an early-model third generation Firebird or Camaro (early 80s to early 90s). Very easy to work on, VERY easy to find parts for, and there are tons of online forums to help with any issues you might have. If you need parts quickly, I guarantee you that any pick-n-pull yard will have at least 10 of them sitting out in the yard to choose from.

Also, you can find a decent example for about $2500. This will get you a straight body, decent interior, decent engine (probably tired, but can be refurb’d), etc.

I would expect them to increase by ten years from now. For two major reasons: The most obvious is that they are no longer made and therefore as classic cars are destroyed, or the metal frames brake down there are going to be fewer of them. Also because prices naturally increase over time due to inflation and other market factors. Classic car prices can be a touchy thing though because it depends largely on the demand for them. What I mean is that as time goes on a particular model may become less popular maybe because the generation of people that liked that particular car are no longer alive and therefore there are less people that desire that model. Hope this helps.

As long as the lid is able to stay on it doesn’t matter if your roast is fully submerged in the water. It really depends on the size of your roast. Generally speaking, most recipes that cook on low take about 10 to 12 hours to cook on low. No peeking! You lift that lid and you might as well add another half an hour to an hour of cooking time.

As a dental hygienist of six years and now a dentist, I must tell you, no one can answer this question with out seeing you. Not only can you see recession but you must do a periodontal exam to evaluate the bone levels, if you have pockets, you have lost more bone than you know (add recession+pocket depth= total loss of supporting structure). I recommend, #1 see a dentist for a comprehensive exam and voice your concerns. #2 QUIT SMOKING (it increases your risk of periodontal disease). #3 Keep up with regual dental visits (often people with gum disease need to have cleanings and maintianance every 3-4 months). In most cases, someone as young as you are who practices good home care can reverse some of the loss or at least halt the disease in which case you could keep your teeth your entire life. Recession can be caused by many of the things you mentioned, aggressive/improper bruhsing, brusxism, plaque and calculus (tartar) depostits. Seriously, go see a dentist now, before it gets beyond help.

I am 35 so we are not too far apart in age. I dont think this economy is going to recover anytime in the next 10 years. For one thing, this is GLOBAL…every country’s economy is shrinking. Second, things were never as rosey as the press made them anyway. A lot of people had what I call “false wealth”…they had money in inflated assets such as 401Ks, stocks and real estate. I knew this was coming when I saw 35K/year secretaries getting into 225K houses!! C’mon!! And these ARM mortgages??? Where did people think the interest rates would go?? LOWER??? Bottom line, peoples greed, arrogance and ignorance has made a bad situation for guys like you and me who worked and paid as we went. Sadly, we will probably never see the economic boom in our working lifetime……good luck

Hi. Nobody has answered your question thus far.

Games playing (like soccer, tennis, hockey etc) are good, however be careful not to get injured.

You’ve covered walking, running and cross training.

Cycling. Swimming (non load bearing however), circuit training, skipping.

Anything that you can use to raise your heart rate to about 70% of HRMax will do the trick… And then sustain it for about 30 minutes.

Pitt,

You shouldn’t think of creatine as something to use “along with” protein shakes or any other supplement or food. It has a certain effect on the body that won’t be disrupted or probably even enhanced by taking protein shakes.

What creatine does is allow your muscles to more quickly produce ATP, which is the cellular energy cells make from food. Basically, it allows your body to take glucose molecules (which are broken down from more complicated molecules) and turn them into energy more quickly. In the gym, most people report this effect as allowing them to get more reps with a given weight, even if their maximal strength doesn’t increase. This is great for building muscle.

Creatine also tends to allow your muscles to hold more water. If you “load” creatine, or take a very large amount when first starting on it, you will probably notice a quick gain of a few pounds. Though this is just water weight, being heavier can help make you stronger, as well as appear bigger and fuller. It’s kind of like constantly feeling a bit “pumped.”

The downside to this water retention is that the water can also get trapped under your skin, making you appear “smooth,” If you’re relatively lean, this shouldn’t matter, but if you’re carrying some extra body fat, it can be discouraging to look even a little smoother than you already are.

It’s true that kidney issues can arise, but that’s probably not something the vast majority of people need to worry about. Protein can cause kidney issues to flair up, and if you’re able to handle the extra protein you’re already taking, chances are creatine isn’t going to do anything bad to you.

Overall, the positives are: increased stamina with any given weight, slightly more muscle built from hard training sessions, increased water weight, and increased muscle fullness. The possible negatives are a “smoother” appearance if you’re already a bit chunky and the VERY rare kidney issue. If you’re really curious, you should probably go ahead and try it. Just stick with plain, micronized, creatine monohydrate. Don’t buy anything fancy, and don’t buy any of the flavored, sugary mixes, as they are way overpriced and don’t do anything special.

Hi Wifi,

The fastest way to build muscle mass is through weight training and proper nutrition. To add mass quickly you will want to be in a calorie surplus, meaning you have to consume more calories than you burn. Try to eat 5-6 meals per day each consisting of a lean protein source (i.e.: chicken breast, tuna, lean beef, egg whites, etc.) and a complex carbohydrate source (i.e.: brown rice, potatoes, oatmeal, beans, etc.). Also strive for at least 2 servings of vegetables per day for fiber. Aim for 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight daily. (Use a protein supplement to reach your daily protein target)

Perform resistance training exercises (weight lifting) 3-4 non-consecutive days per week to build muscle. Allow time for recovery before training the same muscle group again. Stick with compound movements like squats, deadlifts, bench presses, pull ups, rows, etc. Use a weight that is heavy enough to allow you to perform 8-12 repetitions with perfect form.

Get plenty of rest, this is the time when your body is actually growing. 8 solid hours of sleep per night, and take every other day off from lifting weights.

Good luck!

-Chris

Increase the weight, decrease the reps. If you’re doing any more than 8-10 reps per set, you’re not loading the muscle enough.

Buy a Power Yoga instructional video. It takes practice and time to learn but it’s a workout and a half. The video I bought is a routine that works every part of your body in a balanced way. It’s also very functional as it makes you WAY more flexible in a short amount of time. It also has many other benefits like calminng and clearing your mind, improved balance and focus and so on. It’s hard to explain. You really have to try it and you’ll understand.

admin answers:

Hold the dumbbells and do lunges 20 each leg 3x a day, squats for hamstrings 20 3x a day, and butterfly 25 reps 3 x a day, this will add some. Also use what you have at your disposal get creative large canned food works just look around. Do sprint running for calf muscles and tilt up on tip toes holding the dumbbells slowly 25 reps 3x a day. For arms tricep and bicep curls build up to 50 reps 3x a day. You will be sore at first but it should help over time. Good Luck!!

admin answers:

It depends if you want to have large bulky legs or lean toned ones.

If you want large ones, No, body weight squats wont do. You will only reach a certain size after which you will need a larger weight to increase size.

If you want to tone though, squats without weights are not great but good enough. After a while you might find it too easy so you might want to try some of the variations stated by the guy with the first answer.

A few tips to get you started.

1. You need a well-developed business plan before you set out on your own. This will include estimated income, expenses, taxes, etc. Without this you will almost certainly fail. People don’t plan to fail, but the often fail to plan.

2. You will review your income and tax position FREQUENTLY as part of your business operations and adjust your estimated tax payments up or down as needed throughout the year. This review will be part of your overall business plan.

3. At the very least, you’ll pay in 100% of the PRIOR year’s tax liability on your estimated taxes. This will prevent having to pay penalties and interst for underpayment of estimated taxes if you underestimate. Your periodic reviews of your tax situation will tell you how much money to set aside for your actual tax debt at filing time.

Follow these three steps and you’ll have a fighting chance of success. If you’re not ready to follow them, you are NOT yet ready to strike out on your own!
