My right hip flexor is really sore right now
My right hip flexor is really sore right now. Last week I played hockey 3 times in 4 nights, but I spent an hour foam rolling and stretching all those nights. I was still really sore after, but thought it would go away after 3 days of just resting. It didn't... so last night I spent a long time doing more foam rolling,…

Running when sore
My calves are sore as *kitten* from my all-body workout yesterday. I am supposed to do 25 minutes on the treadmill today. Should I after I foam roll and stretch a bit? Or would this be detrimental?

Squatting Barefoot versus Squatting in Chucks
Which is better and why? I've done some research on the internet, and everyone seems to have a different opinion: some people like squatting barefoot, while others like squatting in chucks more. I've tried both, and am unsure which one I like more. It doesn't really seem to make a difference for me, but then again, it's…

How often can I have a rest day?
In the sense of not eating a lot. I have to eat a lot (for me) to bulk. This is difficult. It is putting strain on my body because: a) I am constantly stuffing myself; constantly full; feel guilty when I'm not eating b) I struggle to hit macros, so find myself constantly going to bed on a full stomach As a result, I now…

Wait till the morning?
I went to the doctor and he gave me pills for my acid reflux. I think my acid reflux is a result of me eating too much right before bed. The thing is that I am eating all throughout the day and I still cannot hit my macros. The last meal I have completes my daily goal though, so I need it. So for example, it is 1AM right…

Eating is ruining my life
I absolutely hate it. I've been counting calories for a year now, and I just can't seem to gain weight. I know I'm not eating enough, and everyday is a struggle. I wake up everyday thinking of how much i have to eat and i just hate it. I hate eating. I hate eating. My body just can't eat. Even when I try to eat, I can't.…

Bulgerian Split Squat
How elevated should my back foot be when I perform this exercise? In my gym, there are three stools: one short one, one medium one (which would be the same as resting my foot on a normal bench), and one tall one. Most videos on youtube show the split squat being done with the back foot resting on a normal bench. However,…

Dips
So to tuck your elbows in or not while doing dips? When I let my elbows flare out, which feels the most comfortable and most natural for me, I feel it in my triceps, but also a lot in my anterior deltoids. When I force my elbows to tuck in, I feel it all in my triceps. It's way harder to do this obviously, you really have…

Using my back to squat when I'm tired
The advice to take a deep breath at the top of the squat and suck in your stomach is really useful because it takes lots of stress off your back. However, I'm doing 5x5 squats now, and sometimes when I get to the last rep of the set, I am really tired and panting for breath. Thus, what I can end up doing is actually…

Nauseous During Workout?
Sometimes when I work out, I have gag reflexes. Like halfway through doing a set of seated rows today, I tried to throw up. Is this because I'm not eating enough before my workout? Like I went to the gym tonight at 8 pm, and all I had all day was a smoothie, a bit of stir fry, and some dried mangoes. I would've eaten more,…

Scaling Food Raw or Cooked?
I just scaled my spaghetti dry: 108 grams After I cooked it: 269 grams (heavier cause it absorbed water, I'm guessing) Which is right? That's a huge difference!

Should I Stop Drinking Milk?
So whenever I drink lots of milk, I literally piss out my *kitten*. Like today, I had 6 glasses of milk, and I already took a dump twice. Except that my poo was mostly liquid. Does this mean that I am not getting the macro and micro nutrients found in milk? My body is just throwing it away without absorbing it? I don't…

Converse
So I got a pair of converse high tops today for squatting and deadlifting. Super excited to try them out. I was using flat soled shoes before, but they had like no grip on them lol. Anyways, I was just wondering, should I leave the top 2 holes at the top unlaced? Like I mean the holes where you put the laces through.…
