Hello.. recently whenever i do most types of arm workouts and mainly benchpress my shoulder has a sharp pain.. do you have any idea what would be causing it?

Can you explain to me what is 24 hour fasting or whatever it is called that I see alot of people talking about on the forum, thx

Hey Raynor,

I've just started foam rolling/stretching more often due to the fact that I've been slowly developing some slight excess APT which really fucks me over on ATG squats.
I'm just wondering if I can dedicate hours everyday to help me fix it asap, or would this be similiar to working the same muscle everyday?
Also, if you have any stretches specifically for correcting APT you could throw them at me, aswell

Thanks ^^

AFAA certification the way to go as far as the major personal trainer certification workshops go?


What do you have as far as degrees/certifications go?

Hey ray,

Have you read about the dangerous levels of arsenic in brown rice / products containing brown rice etc .

I eat so much brown rice

Also just heard about this too, interested in answer, thanks.



Also I hit a plateau on bench and now I seem to be losing strength, it's only really my bench that's hurting

Currently do flat bench, incline db bench, incline/flat db flys, db pullovers, cable high/low flys, and sometimes flatbench db press

Not on a calorie deficit, I just can't seem to get the burn in my chest anymore, I'm barely getting sore after chest days too

Sets are either 5-6 for 5 sets or 8-12 reps for 4 sets (for supersets ect)

alright i appreciate your help Raynor

will probably lay off the squats for a month or two to see how my knees react

Hey!

After doing a long run without practicing yesterday, I now have sore legs(pretty bad but I dont mind haha).

But now I wonder.. when I do a serious leg workout, you also have sore legs. But when (I think at least) long distance running will not build muscle mass and a heavy workout with weights does, what exactly is the difference in how your legs are sore when it feels the same?

I hope it's somewhat clear what I mean

When I'm doing the bent over under hand bb row and while still doing your 5x5 strength program

for maximum efficiency, is it correct if I explode up with the bb or do i take slow methodical movements?

I really appreciate this thread and the time you take to help us.

Since last November my right knee has been hurting. I used to run ~7 miles a day all on concrete. I think that had something to do with it.
The pain is not constant. Its only sparked by certain movements/loads. Once I hurt it though, it hurts for a few days then slowly goes away until whatever is injured is agitated again.

Just to give you an idea: running on a track hurts after a few miles but nothing horrible. The next day is sore. I play hockey. Skating, a more fluid low impact motion, does not hurt much at all unless I push off incorrectly. I favor my knee skating slightly.
If I do a squat motion with no weight though, I feel like my knee is about to explode. A very sharp pain radiates throughout.

I cant, or shouldnt, deadlift im sure. I shouldn't squat. I can hardly do wall sits, or frog leaps.
So my question: What can my leg day look like? Other than running, are there leg strengthening exercises I can do? I don't think leg press is possible. Maybe you recommend I stay off of it completely. I just don't want to be one of those guys that workouts upper body only ya know...

Im sure I need to get an MRI and have it scoped or something. But until then... maybe just calf raises/weighted leg lifts (kind of core but gotta take what I can get).

Sorry this is probably a bad question without a diagnosis.

Can I have a productive leg day still?
