Six Pack Ab Questions

Which helps build muscle in the body? Lifting weight or heavy diet after workout?

Question by TabraizAliKhan: Which helps build muscle in the body? Lifting weight or heavy diet after workout?
I planning to join a gym soon. Just wanted to know more about body building.
I was wondering how body building helps build muscle? Is it because of the heavy weights or because of the food we eat due to all the workout?

Answer by Charli
It’s both. We need to lift heavy (below 12 reps) to encourage muscle growth, and we need to eat enough to enable that muscle growth. That includes getting enough protein (1g-1.25g/lb bodyweight).

You can’t do one without the other for results.

Can to much ab exercises lead to lower back pain?

Question by ? Brian ?: Can to much ab exercises lead to lower back pain?
I’ve been doing a lot of ab exercises lately at the gym, and now I’ve got some killer lower back pain. Could to much ab exercise and not enough back exercise be the cause? I feel like a 90 yr old man right now squirming in my chair because it hurts.

Answer by Emily Sam
Absolutely. In fact, especially with sit ups, you have to be extremely careful. Sit ups can be VERY dangerous for your lower back. Maybe talk to someone at the gym about spotting your ab workout to be sure you’re doing them correctly to avoid injury, or to have them advise on more effective exercises that will be less strenuous.
