Thank you. It takes me 5 months to go from a 225 max to 315 on the bench press, so it is no problem for me. I have gone through this 3 times already. 

I know right. It's annoying, as a trainer, to see parents complain about losing their children's height. It's not going to affect their height.

But - There is one theory which seems to be true in my opinion. They are not supposed to push their limits when lifting weights. People below the age of 21 are not advised to lift or start powerlifting as there will be changes in the hormones produced which may or may not affect their height. But no one wants to be more than 6.2 feet.

Haha, interesting image you got right there! Yeah, that's bench press and that's to affect your upper body physique. Mainly your chest and triceps.

@asdasemm i'm cycling dialy these days 

is it benificial to cycle slowly or fastly ??? i used to cycle in first gear slowly about 4km, but i dont sweat whereas when i cycle for 500m fastly - i start to sweat ...so which is benificial

Depends on the resistance. If you're using a high resistance setting then yeah, pedaling slow is probably all you can do. On the other hand, low resistance cycling is a great post-workout cooldown.

It depends what you want from your exercises. Are you just trying to stay fit, or trying to improve your body for a specific activity/sport? 

Cycling is good for the legs and the heart, but it does nothing to the rest of the body muscles. You would beneficiate from adding other exercises involving other muscle.

but my cycle seems something weird apart .

i have to use my hands like plank to support handle of cycle . it stresses my hands.is it harmful or helpful ?

suggest some exercises to increase height . i do cycling to stay fit. 

Are you interested to get better at short distance and sprinting (anaerobic exercise) or better at endurance for long distance (aerobic)? 
I don't really understand how you can hurt your hand while cycling

better endurance for long distancce 

my hand start pains after travelling some distance , the angle is some thing is wrong 

i have to investigate  , i will keep a pic if ur intrested so u can find a solution

If this is really bike specific you better look on bicycle forum or the cycle shop. You either need to change your hands position or buy a more adapted handle.
To improve endurance practice Interval Training Sessions. Switch up sprints and more gentle rides in one period. These sessions should be shorter in time than your normal distance. Start with warm up, then do intervals and finish with a cooldown. For the first sessions start with 6 intervals, then add more up to ten during the next 2 months. 
You can select an area with a road incline, sprint the incline, then go at gentle pace on your way back, then start again.

Long distance is running makes you skinny, because your body adapts by shedding off muscle. Muscle is not good for running long distances. If you want to become fit, sprint for a short distance, 3 sets once a week. With sprinting you will have both strength and endurance.

well, does doing push ups stop growth of height?

No. In contrary sport stimulate body growth. You still need to eat healthy to support. 
However, for women, intensive sport activities will delay puberty.

what is resistence here???????????????? 

He is referring to the hardness to push the pedals. You need enough resistance to increase the output that you get from exercising/working out. This is where the old, yet true, phrase comes up -  "No pain, No gain"

 

[asdasemm 925]

Have you guys considered the HIIT program? That seems a lot more better and fun to do when you boost it with music. As a matter of fact, being a sports person can help you burn a lot of fat and tone your muscles well. Whichever seems the best to you guys, should be fine.
The key here is consistency. So for that, you will need to like your workouts or exercises in whatever form you do it.

 

[Pythor 1,354]

If you guys are actually serious about building muscle, whether that be via core workouts, weightlifting, or cardio, I'd highly recommend the Athlean X youtube channel/website. There are A TON of different exercises, workout routines, and proper weightlifting techniques on there.

Yeah, Jeff has a lot of good ideas and in my opinions is the best coach I have seen in action on social media platforms. His actions, motivation and everything is just so good!

HIIT is not about the wheel. Infact, you don't need any equipment for HIIT workouts and there are workouts that does support the "NO EQUIPMENT REQUIRED" title.
Try getting Resistance bands as it can be used in almost any place(s).

I would like to remind everyone to properly use the Report function instead of replying to violators (which has zero effect, other than us having to consequently remove your posts as well — meaning that more work for us, and more importantly plus the fact that we will be getting to the violator later than we otherwise would have if you'd just properly report their post(s) and leave it at that).

Thank you.

any1 jump rope?

I used to do, but I am not a professional to do different variations like double jump , etc . There's so much that I don't even know how that's done. But jump rope itself is a good way to warm up for exercise or to include in your fitness regime. I love it so much (just the regular one), with friends... and then we go like "Hey, I did 100, you did just 40"

Was just writing a day in the life of a helper article, seems like a good idea to walk in and ask for some quick advice about something somewhat related 

I usually have an hour (and maybe an extra half hour if I don't have too much to do) from when I wake up to when I get ready for online school, so I like to get in some exercise because I am on the track team and don't want to be too chonky and have to work out with the slowest group when conditioning starts . I'll do some bodyweight exercises targeting either the upper or lower body, followed by some core and HIIT.

Any additions/subtractions/recommendations?

Here's my suggestion @Person_Random , (As you have online school, I am guessing you are 18 - 23) Bodyweight exercises are the best way to go about at your age, especially at this global condition.

If you have an hour, then you can do a lot of exercises, take a shower and be ready to face the wonderful day mentally and physically. I common mistake I see people doing is that they follow 1 same workout routine forever and that doesn't help them. You can try to jog first (as warm up), incorporate some dynamic stretches and then get started with HIIT or whatever you have planned for the day with bodyweight training. Don't forget to add static stretching at the end of the workout. Most HIIT videos don't tell you to do so, but it's necessary. 
If you have very less time for the day (say 15-20 mins), then just switch between the following: Jogging, Squats, Sprint and Push ups (if you have a pull up bar, use that as well)
If you get very less time for the day, for the most time of the week, just follow the HIIT workout videos done with body weight only (and no equipment)

Hope that helps!

I have started jogging again. I jog 10-12 rounds about my public park everyday. I also brisk walk 5-6 rounds before jogging and 5-6 rounds after. I am liking jogging and walking a lot. What else do you think i should do?

You might want to incorporate some pushups, squats and (if possible) pull ups. You would also want to build your inner core strength. You can alternate between the below and jogging after 2 weeks of your above routine.

 

Once you reach the 2 weeks mark, you will need to reduce your focus on walking and jogging a lot. However, you will need to continue jogging in the beginning for warm up. Save your energy for the main workout and don't spend them all on jogging though .  Main workout must contain push ups, squats and core focused exercises (If possible). After that, just do one of the three each week: High knees, jumping jacks, sprint.
 

You can't completely follow a single routine for the whole month or year. No matter how powerful it is, your body will get used to the load and will stop growing (in lay-man terms). Feel free to mention me or reply to this topic if you got more questions or any objections. Have a great workout!
