In exercising, a weight lifter loses 0.150 kg of water through evaporation, the heat required to evaporate....
...the water coming from the weight lifter's body. The work done in lifting weights is 1.40 x 10^5 J. (a) Assuming that the latent heat of vaporization of perspiration is 2.42 x 10^6 J/kg, find the change in the internal energy of the weight lifter. (b) Determine the minimum number of nutritional Calories of food (1 nutritional Calorie = 4186 J) that must be consumed to replace the loss of internal energy.
Good workout plan for an 18 year old male?
Well first of all gaining muscle and losing weight do no necessarily go hand in hand especially if you weigh 190 pounds. More than likely if you start packing on muscle you will gain weight, but weight is not everything it is body fat that you would want to lose. With that out of the way you should start lifting weights and not doing just cardio. Best way to start out is to do separate muscle groups everyday if you have the time to go everyday, if not then split between upper body and lower body on the days that you do go. If you have the time to go everyday you should ask members and employees about what machines workout which muscle group. The average way to set it up this way is to do Chest and Back on day 1, then triceps, biceps, and deltoids on day 2, and finish it off with your legs on day 3 and maybe your back if you did not do much back on day 1 then round it off with cardio on day 4 or do cardio everyday. Then once you have been doing that for a few weeks you can move it to upper body day 1 and lower body day 2 and just keep alternating that way everyday you go. Of course you should also talk to other members preferable senior weight lifters and also employees about weight lifting routines and where to start at especially if you have been doing only cardio and no strength training with weights. Hope this helps, good luck.
Bodybuilding vs powerlifting?
Your friend is correct. Bodybuilders only have better looking muscles because part of their program is losing weight and being large. Powerlifiting is about the amount of weight that is proportionate to the lifter's body weight. That is why weight class is such an important part of powerlifting. Another thing is some great athletes can be really small. Shawn White is 5-8/139 pounds and won the gold medal in snowboarding. Size does not mean strength although there are large athletes who are strong. The training is different among powerlifters as they use free weights which do not isolate the muscles. Powerlifters are stronger.
Why do weight lifters have to eat so much? Doesn't 2-3K calories a day add up as fat?
I'm a skinny guy trying to gain lean muscle mass. I've been working very hard putting forth a lot of time and dedication. But the hardest part is the eating. I eat a lot of healthy foods like grilled chicken, fish, oatmeal, whole grain bread, egg whites, fruits, vegetables, brown rice, and whey protein/caesin protein. I eat a lot to get the calories I need, but I'm probrably only eating 1500-1850 calories. I don't think I'll be able to eat more than 2K a day, its just too much food for me. I eat so much that I do a lot of cardio because I'm afraid a lot of the food will turn to fat. Can you give me some advice?
What is the best vegetarian, Indian bodybuilding diet for muscle gain and fat loss? I'm a non-vegetarian person, but I would like to know how can I achieve huge muscle size with only veg.

Eat bananas generously as pre workout and post workout.Protein Smoothie (optional): A big glass of banana shake, add more fruits like strawberries etc if you like. Add a little bit of chocolate syrup, this works wonder for me, as it satisfies my sweet cravings and helps me to stay away from donuts, pastries etc.To get more protein eat yogurt, paneer (cottage cheese) with your meals.

I completely avoid simply sugars and only have them in the form of fruits.In my [0–20] program I have given a 63 Daily diet (calorie counted) which includes not only Indian meals items, but also continental.
Ways to soften extremely hard stool?
I'm a weight lifter and I take weight / muscle gaining supplements 5 days a week. However my stool has been extremely hard lately to the point where when I use the bathroom, it comes out very hard and causes me to get an "anal fissure" and makes my anus bleed. I know it's not cancer or anything because I've been to the doctor years ago for the same reason (except it was due to a very poor diet, no exercise, holding it, etc.) however I exercise everyday now, drink 1 gallon of water, and eat semi healthy. What should I do to soften it? I know they make "Benefiber" which is supposed to make you go, but does fiber also SOFTEN your stools too? Is there anything I can take naturally that'll soften my stools, like prunes or something? I do NOT want to take medical stool softeners everyday or anything or stop taking my supplements. Having the urge to use the bathroom isn't a problem, but when it comes out rock hard and causes me to bleed, that is a very big problem. Thanks for your help :)
