How long does it take the body to develop one pound of muscle? I recently bought one of those scales that measure body fat % along with body weight & muscle weigt via a light electric current sent though the body. I am pretty certain it is accurate b/c it is in line with the calpers test two trainers did on me. What my question is, is how long does it take the body to gain muscle? I realize that you cant turn fat into muscle, but that you have to burn fat and the muscle will reveal it's self, However I want to gain muscle over all. I am curious as to how long it will take to gain one pound of muscle in the body. B/c I really cant afford to lose to much muscle (only 94lbs of muscle) And my trainer said that you will loose some muscle initially while losing fat. So I want to bulk up a little so I dont lose to much muscle. Any input is much appreciated.

How does the body differentiate different muscle tissue? How does our body know to differentiate which tissue cells makeup bicep versus tricep muscles? Since the muscles are located at different parts of the body, and have different uses, how would heart muscles play into the equation? Or are specific types of tissues modified slightly by the body based on the location and need?

How can I predict the future body type (what it will look like) of a Doberman Pinscher puppy? I will be adopting a Doberman Pinscher puppy and I have looked at many, many pictures of this breed. I have found that, depending on the dog, the body type of this breed seems to fluctuate. I love the Doberman Pinschers whose bodies are sleek and muscular, and whose heads are proportionately sized. However, I have also seen Doberman Pinschers whose look I did not like. Their legs and body seemed very thick and wide, and their heads seemed very small. Is there any way I can choose a dog whose future body type will fit the criteria I'm looking for?

Is it possible to measure the body fat percentage on a particular section of my body? I'd like to know how much of certain parts of my body are fat vs. muscle. Is there anyway to determine this? I don't want to lift weights using certain parts of my body if I already have enough muscle there. I'm not worried about looking like a body builder but I still don't want the muscle to get any bigger, I just want to burn the fat that is there, if any. Particularly around my butt and thighs.

How do weight scales with body fat percentage calculation work? Hello, I am in a competetion where the total of weight percentage loss and fat percentage loss determines the winner. Besides diet and exercise, is there anything specific I can do on the final days of the competetion to squeeze out an extra 0.5% in body fat percentage by tricking the scale? For example, if I drink a gallon of water before the weigh-in that will add pounds but could it decrease body fat percentage? The scale for body fat % is measured in increments by 0.5%, so just a slight variation can cause it to go from 10.0 to 9.5% for example. That small of a difference can be huge on the final tally.

How do you connect your lower body to your punch? In martial arts, if you are rotating your hips / waist to punch, how do you connect your lower body or legs to it? The upper body and lower body seem separate and disconnected when you punch like that.

What chemical changes does the human body go through in the first fourteen days after death? I am writing a story in which the principal character regularly handles dead bodies. Part of the plot premise depends on trying to alter the course of chemical changes the body goes through in the first weeks after death. But my college physiology courses were kind of hit-or-miss on post-mortem issues. If you have any books, links, or information about the changes the human body goes through in the first fourteen days after death I would be very appreciative and you would get ten extra points!

However, I am not exactly sure how many of these are true and am interested in finding out the real facts behind stress.
What is the oldest part of the average human body and how old is it? Given that our bodies as we have them today are not exactly the same as what we had as children or even last week, and that cells are continuously being created and destroyed, what is the maximum age that a part of our body could be right now? Or to put it in a different way, what is the oldest part of our body? I'm guessing that bones dont change much, but maybe they do! Its easy to think of ourselves as unchanging, but since our hair is only as old as our last haircut + how many weeks it took to grow that much, maybe the same is true of our entire body!?!?!
How would a dead human body decompose in space compared to on earth? would no gravity play a factor? Physiology teaches us that the human body is made up of four elements: carbon C, oxygen O, hydrogen H and nitrogen N. In plain chemical language this means that our body consists of carbon dioxide COO and ammonia NHHH, in which at the same time the elements of water HHO and oil CHH are contained, all of which are capable of evaporation and combustion. We all know what happens on earth but how would a none-gravity environment play into effect. Would it pro-long us or make us vanish faster.
What exactly happens to your body when you go under general anesthesia? I would like a complete explanation of what happens to the body's systems. Do we actually stop breathing, is that why we need to be intubated? What happens to the heart, I heard that all of our body's system are put to sleep, if that's so, then how can we still be alive after the procedure?
Does a body falling in a gravity field gain energy due to acceleration? If a falling body is in a stable orbit it is accelerated by the object it orbits but does not gain speed so what happens to the energy due to acceleration? Of course an orbiting body is not gaining speed but it is accelerating because its falling under due to the force of gravity. The application of force requires energy therefore the energy muct be accounted for somehow.
What can you do with body jewelry you can no longer wear? Over the years I have amassed a large collection of body jewelry, most of which I can no longer wear. I would like to get rid of the majority of it, but cannot sell it through the various auction/marketplace sites (for obvious reasons). Does anyone have any suggestions for ways to unload used body jewelry and possibly make some cash at the same time?
