How in the world could lead get in protein powder?
I remember the articles from a few years back, but I never understood how lead could get into protein powder. Isn't whey protein a milk derivative? Here is the quote I just read : In 2010, Consumer Reports tested 15 protein drinks for heavy metals such as cadmium, lead, arsenic, and mercury. Three of them had potentially…

Bulking question....do I add back in exercise calories?
Hi! I am trying to recover from being a cardio queen and work on lifting heavy. For those of you on a bulk, do you just eat above your maintenance calories regardless if it is a rest or workout day? Do you put in MFP as a goal to gain .5 lb week or 1 lb a week or just maintain? My maintenance calories are 1690-1900…

Creatine & GI issues
Last Monday, I started taking 4g of creatine monohydrate every other day with my post - workout shake. Since then, I've had painful intestine cramping. It feels like I've swallowed a handful of jacks and they're passing through my system. When I do have a BM, it's soft & "normal." I'm drinking 4L of fluids daily. Has…

So I have been skinny just about my whole life. Genetically high metabolism and I have tried many times to gain some real weight and this Christmas my whole family is getting together and I want to surprise everyone by gaining at least a good 25-30lbs.

Torn Intercostal
So, had a slightly sore rib the last couple of weeks and decided to work through it. I've had no problems lifting (push or pulls), just a little pain that was easily managed. Last night I completed four sets of relatively heavy incline BP with a little more pain than usual but had no problems with form or handling the…

Trouble making gains
I'm a female and I have been lifting for over a year. I lift 3-4 days a week and do cardio on day 4. I have the tall lanky body type so muscle is hard to gain for me. I am 5'6 116. I thought about doing a lean bulkier period for 3 months, then 3 months of increased cardio. And then repeat to see if that speeds up my muscle…

Some help with food and building muscles!
Hi guys! I'm pretty new and this is my first post ever. I was hoping to get some small, constructive, input on my food diary. Food and I are not the best of friends. I can't make any and I am no chef. My goal is to build muscle but stay more or less "shredded". I understand this is not possible as I am in a bulking period…

All summer I added in 30-45 minutes of cardio per day in order to get a little cut for bikini season. Recently, since I've only been in the gym 5 days per week versus 7 days per week I've made…

Does weight go on in the same places it was lost????
I recently lost 3 stone and my bra size is significantly smaller and I've lost a lot of fat from my bum. I want this back so if I was to gain a stone would it go on in the same places I lost it. E.g. My bum and boobs. Any ideas would be great thank you

Now what?
I got back into weight lifting back in January, I did a little research and decided to try my first ever bulk/cut. I started out at 6’3 178. By April I was up to 210 and I couldn’t fit into my pant anymore so I decided to start my cut. I’m now down to 195 and feel pretty good. My question is…..if I wanted to bulk again do…

Weight gain slang? Help your girl out!
Hi guys! So I'm new to this and I'm seeing a lot of words that I'm not familiar with. I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me with some of the terms I'll be seeing in this weight gain community. "Bulking" obviously means gaining. I've seen the words "upping", "surplus", "maintenance" (which I'm guessing means…
