My knees hurt!
So I've been getting into body building this past 4/5 months and about a month ago I went to do some leg extensions but stopped immediately as pain surrounding my knees arose. Now as I bend it hurts and even more so to get back up. It won't go and I don't know what to do!!

Gaining weight without losing abs?
So I just started counting my calories a few months ago to get my "bikini body" and I dropped from 63 Kgs to about 55, I'm 5'8.

Bulking and cutting
I'm slightly confused. Ive read before if you wanted to bulk up you had to lift fewer reps with a heavier weight and to cut/ tone up lift a lighter weight for more reps. However what I've been reading recently is that it's all about nutrition. So to bulk up eat more calories and cut eat less. So does it matter what type of…
