Meal prep help
I would like to start meal prepping basic stuff like chicken, broccoli, and a grain likely rice or quinoa and maybe a sauce to put some over to change up the flavor. The problem I'm running into is I work in a restaurant which 1) doesn't have much in the way of veggies and 2) we don't have a microwave for reheating. I have…

Lifting after mild injury
I sprained my ankle a few days ago. I should be walking normally with a brace by tomorrow and I know how to rehab it, this is a normal for me. My question is I started a lifting program a few weeks ago should I just go ahead a deload back to an empty bar on squats when I start back to the program and reprogress or just…

Thank you!!!

Squat rack questions
Do I really need a squat rack that goes up to 600 lbs +? I found a nice easy for one person to assemble and store that can hold up to 300. For reference I'm 5'1 with a goal weight between 135 and 140, second this is to supplement mma training and my gym only has smith machines for this lift.

Pain above the ankle?
First off I'm well aware I need new running shoes and a gait analysis at my local running store but that's an hour away and off the table until I've saved up enough for books. So does anyone have any stretches I can do to ease off pain? Its just above the ankle on the outside and goes up about 3 inches. That muscle feels…

Some gear recommendations please

Should I log this?
I'm a line cook/waitress and cook more than I wait. I'm set at lightly active to reflect this on the slower nights I serve I feel that this suits fine but how should I log the busier nights? By busier I mean you are rolling silverware or filling the ice bins because it gives you a second to breathe.
