Muscle Pain around Left hip
I'm after a bit of advice. I've been experiencing a little muscle pain around my left hip joint since Friday evening after working out, there was no moment when it started hurting it just came on gradually about an hour or so after I got home. If I didn't move it for a while it would be really stiff and painful and then…

I've been having hip flexor pain when I first move around after a period of rest for the last week and its gradually getting better since I took the hint and stopped exercising. It came on gradually after a session rather then an explosive accident in…

Standing Bicep Curls
I'm looking for some advice. I've set a short term goal of been completing a set 12 reps of 20kg Standing Bicep Curls (Dumbell). Not a huge advance When I started going to the gym at the end of July I was struggling to do three sets of 12 reps at 10kg, Now I can comfortably finish 12 reps at 14kg, but given how quickly I…
