I would definitely recommend you bulk. You need muscle in order to have the 6 pack. You probably have very weak abdominal muscles which means you are going to need to train abs aggressively - as well as the rest of your body. Follow this guide:

Abs Workout Routine

I disagree with PRE-workout stretching. Most sources and studies have confirmed that this actually increases the risk of injury. You should do a warm-up which is a light jog for around 3-5 minutes prior to a run. After doing that begin the run as usual. You should also get fitted for proper running shoes that are built specifically for your skeletal structure, stride, and gait. I would also take the time to stretch AFTER the run which is very helpful.

The stretches you want to do are all the regular ones: toe touches, butterflies, standing behind the back leg stretch, front knee bends, lunges, side-straddles, etc.

hey raynor im worried about your mental health (srs)

so many repeated questions, so many useless questions, its mind boggling how you reply to them all with a straight face

you deserve a holiday, gl hf irl etc tho

so... 10 caps = 10 g? correct?

I'm confused it you linked me a bulking plan then a hypertrophy plan?
Which one am I suppose to do or is it just preference?

lol thanks for the support Ladsy.

I enjoy helping people no matter how silly some of their issues may seem

Correct!

You should alternate between them. Do the 5x5 for 1 year. After that, do hypertrophy for 6 months, followed by 5x5 for another 6 months. After that you can alternate them every 4 months.

Thanks brah

Hey. I had previously posted here before about unidentifiable muscular pain and how it had been impacting my physical health. I believe this now to have been related to stress and mental health, both of which are no longer significant issues.

A new issue has arisen for me. I currently have ingrown toenails on both feet, and this has been the case for roughly about three months. Treatment has been a drawn out process. I've had a long exam period (which has now finished) which has meant I've had to delay surgery and subsist on completely ineffectual anti-inflammatories.

As I've now I'm in rather awful pain, and movement is difficult - this has ultimately caused me to quit exercise entirely. To tell you the truth, I've been a good weight and a reasonbly fit and healthy person for most of my life, but I'm concerned about my weight now as I've been relatively inactive for a while. When I do get surgery, in about 15 days. I fear the recovery process is going to put me out for even longer and mean exercise, even basic movement, is going to be become an absolute impossibility.

Y'know, what, exactly, can I do in the way of exercise if I can't even move for my injury? I'm not at all overweight, but I'm worried that I won't be able to keep my health in check under such conditions. I mean, I can't even take even take vitamin supplements, as most are Vitamin-A based and apparently it will aggravate my problem if I get too much of it. Can you help at all?

Sorry if this is a less than straightforward request, I don't mean to be awkward.
