Foam and rumble rollers

Is it okay to drink 3.4L of milk in a day
Hi SideSteel and Sara, I am currently on a bulk, aiming to get about 3800-4000 calories per day, but being stuck between university and work sometimes I find it hard to reach that level of intake and because the campus/cafe food is 1) very expensive (a 350 calorie sandwich is £4 - about $6) and 2) packed with low calorie…

If you throw up should you eat more?
Strange question I know but I haven't been sick in years. About two hours ago I felt horrible from eating too much coconut oil and threw up.

Any bright ideas for a first date?
I asked out a colleague for coffee two weeks ago but because we both have stupidly busy schedules that clash with each other we haven't been out yet. It's sucks that it's taken this long, so I want to just skip coffee and do something else. There isn't really much to do in our little town (no ice skating, mini golf etc)…

Taking a protein shake before bed?
Say I have dinner at 9.00pm and sleep at 12am-ish. Should I drink a protein shake just before bed or only have dinner 3 hours before (and not take any protein afterwards)?

Hi everyone, I am currently doing a hybrid of P90X and Insanity (keeping the weight training but replacing the P90X cardio with Insanity circuit training) and would like to know whether I'm doing something wrong or not eating right to get good abs (which I'm guessing is one of the most common questions on here!) or whether…
