If I have had a day to rest but my legs are still sore, is it okay to work out? I CAN work out, I am not in an extreme amount of pain but I am still dubious about working body parts that are sore because I feel like its their way or saying they need more rest. What do you gainers usually do? Thanks!!!

Protein for women?
I've been working out 5days a week now for over a year, and I'm beginning to really shape my body. I'm looking to tone up more of my muscles, specifically my legs and butt. Should I add protein shakes to my workouts? Before or after? How much is good and what kind? I work out at home so I don't really know anyone to ask.

Correct Form when lifting
How do you know when you have the correct form on deadlift and barbell rows? There are so many different opinions on the internet.
