Your not a dr but do you play one on Mfp?
Ok so my hips are "off". Between sets of squats a few months back I self adjusted by popping my lower back and went back to finish 2-3 sets or so. Over the next 3 days pain got worse to the point where I was couch ridden and everything from standing to sitting and laying down was painful. I had more mobilization within a…

At the moment it's general strenght building, no splits (gonna change that in some weeks ). Now I'm confused with what my weight goals are for the App.…

Some opinions much appreciated..
First off, let me say my goal.... Muscle gain. Not necessarily bulking or cutting. Just progressive gains. It grows as it grows. I work a night shift job. This is usually 4 times a week, and I might walk 3500-4000 steps a shift. I'd guess this is 1 1/2-2 miles. I also do a moderate jog 5 times a week, 30 minutes a time.…

For girls who lift or men who know?
I have been lifting about a year now. I've always lifted to 10 reps. Did 4 sets of DL, squats, and bench. I am now considering upping the weight and doing 3 sets of all of the above but only 5 reps. I was told by a friend that this could possibly make me bulk with the increasing weight? I don't eat a massive amount so I am…

Mass Gainer Protein Shakes
I was doing a lot of reading and research on mass gainers, and IMO they are BS fillers. There are few to none worth getting. Due to price and ingredients! My plans are just getting the cheap ON Whey, and making my own mass gainer with good clean carbs such as fruit and oats with some healthy fats thrown in as well.…

Should I increase my surplus? - Clean bulk
So after running a deficit at around 1700 NET calories, I dropped to my desired weight and started going to the gym. I go three to four times a week, three days doing 40mins of weights (Chest/shoulders, arms, legs/core) and a kettlebell class if I make the fourth day. I still cycle commute and play sport so do do cardio…

What?
Alright... My BMI is at 23-24.5 (says this calculator I used.) My issue is that I still have small patches of fat on my legs, belly, chest, and rear. If I lift heavier, will that all go away? And another thing is how can I become more lean and cut?

I find that ratio, especially when I consume the shake twice a day, as very inconvinient. The shake is…

Binging/Cutting Weightlifting? so confused..... :(
So. My TDEE is 1500 (I'm a small woman), I've been trying to gain muscle mass and eat a NET of 2000 calories a day. And every couple weeks, I will just binge like a mad man.

Trying to do a "clean" bulk... so much food.... help!
Okay so on Sept 1, I decided to start my first ever bulk/cut cycle. Now I've never been a "clean eater" but through my research on bulking I did find that in order to maximize muscle gain and minimize fat gain it's best to eat mostly healthy, nutrient-dense foods - which makes sense. I'm on 2600 calories currently and…

Activity Level and Fitbit Integration
I was under the impression that integrating a Fibit would give me my true calorie burn. I assumed that it would then not matter what activity level I choose because fitbit would either add or subtract based on my steps, not a self-reported setting. Does anyone know why when I change from Lightly Active to Sedentary, my…
