Avoid cardiovascular excercise(running) while building muscle. You'll shrink the muscle. You gain by lifting heavy weights for less reps. You gain while your resting.

Do 5 pushups, wait 10 minutes, do five more pushups. Do this once a day every day, adding one pushup every other day. So, today and tomorrow do 2 sets of five. In two days, do 2 sets of 6. Continue adding to the sets every other day until you get to your goal. Answered by Freethinker - Wed Jun 20 00:13:01 2007 From Yahoo Answer Search: "push ups" |
