A number of things. Lack of a BALANCED diet, lack of proper supplementation, increases of acidic foods and/or a huge increase of animal protein.

In general make sure to maintain a good deal of veggies and fruits while bulking, take your multivitamin/mineral, drink PLENTY of water (1.5 gal a day), and switch up the foods you eat time to time to see if any specific things are better or worse for you.

Unsurprisingly, some people react differently to different foods.

No not sure why they are saying that.. i'll repost them

I am not sure if I got an shoulder or rotator cuff injury, but I was doing the pec dec exercise(overatted and useless), which I hardly ever do and hate now, and suddenly I felt minor pain on my shoulder. The pain decreased after a day or 2. my shoulder doesnt really feel like it normally does. it makes a click like sound more often then it usually use to do when I rotate shoulder. Sometimes I get a minor burning feeling in the shoulder. I can move my arms like usual w/o pain or any issue, but is this a matter that needs to be looked at? Can I start working out upper body again or something gonna happen?
Can anyone help?

do you know where to do a under water body fat test?

hey raynor, my shins are hurting a lot recently. I just did about 40 min practice of hang cleans (trying to learn the power clean) and the shins hurt like hell. I been walking alot lately too. ever since january, i have to walk up and down through my college campus. I was wondering if i have shin splints? The shins have a slight pain when i apply a little pressure on it.

what can i do to fix this? just no more power cleans?

what about heavy squats and heavy deadlifts?

Hey I just started working out 3 months ago.
I am 6'2 175 pounds. I am trying to get bigger.. but without any excess fat storing on my midsection / sides.
I am very lost with what I should eat throughout the day. All I kno wfor sure is I try to do 20 min of cardio everytime I workout except on leg day.

I usually do it like this but I am still experimenting.

Day1: upper back / Bicepts ( Curls / the machines that have you pull them back to you to work your back out ect) (I am lost with what I should do to get better results in my upper back region)
Day2: Legs lower back.. (Squats Lunges Laying leg press then random back lifts)
Day3:Chest tricepts shoulders (Benchpress Incline/decline 10 pushups inbetween sets Various shoulder lifts and tricept lifts)

I am confused about the # of reps inbetween each set Im supposed to do. Like 3 sets of 10? each way?
I want to Get bigger and get a little cut at the same time while losing a little fat around the stomach without starving my body.

I usually have about 2 and half hours free time at the gym because thats when rides are convenient there and back so what Can I do to have a better workout and great diet? If im gonna do somethin I would like to do it right.
Thx
