AboutRick Karboviak Expertise ATTENTION: I will not be taking any more questions from kids, ages 17 & under, through this site. If any kid wants some help, their parent must ask the question.
Plese be specific, no more "I need to gain weight and get a 6-pack, pleeez help, thanx" types of questions. I will no longer reply to these.
I can help you with most questions regarding strength training for a wide variety of sports, primarily for the youth, high school, college, and recreational athlete levels. I can also assist with general fitness concerns.
I also will not respond to generic "I need to lose weight fast, please help' type of questions either. This is a waste of my time. You need a strategy, not a program alone, for this type of assistance.
Also, I DO NOT GIVE PROGRAMS through this service. Do not ask for any program, please, because chances are that I know nothing about you to even begin creating a program. As a professional, I need many pieces of information to even begin constructing something for my client, and this sometimes takes up to 45 minutes in a face-to-face visit. There's just no way I can do it in one email!
Thank you.

Question could u first tell me the difference betweeen weight lifting and strength training? isnt weight lifting strenght training...i mean ur building strength. and which one should i do according to what i will describe to u.
i am 26, 5'9" and 145 lbs. i have absoultely no strenght, power, endurance at all. i can only do 2 pushups in a row. what do u recommend i do? i prefer to use my own body weight for every exercise if thats possible. but is that building muscles or bulding strength? what do u recommend i do? and how much weight do u recommend i use for a bicep curl for example and how many reps. biscally a workout routine for me, or better yet if u know where i can find one on the internet for someone like me.
thanks

Answer Weight lifting is simply a form of strength training. Strength training is defined as moving a resistance through a range of motion to create strength changes. That resistance can come from bands, weights, gravity, or even your own muscle against muscle (like pushing your hands together with force, in an isometric contraction).
