This can be a few things.


1. Aggravated/inflamed ligaments/tendons - Solution: Rest/Ice/Light Stretching/Mobility exercises/Swimming
2. Shortened Hip Flexors - Solution: angle your feet inwards rather than neutral or or outwards.
3. Spinal Issues - Solution: See a chiropractor and/or Orthopedic Specialist
4. Flexibility Issues - Solution: use no weight, go ATG, hold the squat at just beyond a 90 degree angle, and while holding it, attempt to flex and arc your back forward and backwards. From there, you can also try to rotate your feet inwards and outwards. Follow up with straight leg toe touches, back bends, and ultimately a dead-hang from a chinup bar.


Either way, avoid squatting (or any leg routine) for at least 2 weeks. Try to keep the area free of inflammation and work these problems out one at a time.

If you mean a NON Pro-Hormone test booster, most are useless for younger males. Any males in the 30's and older can benefit greatly from tribulus blends such as NOW! Testojack.

Creatine by itself should not have any effects on your skin breaking out. Creatine has no real impact on total testosterone.

However, anything introduced to the body in greater quantities than the body is used to can cause chemical changes that ultimately lead to acne breakouts.

1 gal = Approx 3,800 ML

So 5 x 500 ml = 2,500 ml which is only about 2/3 of a gal.


You would need to drink 7-8x of the 500 ML for one gal.

Thanks for the reply Raynor, another question however: What are your thoughts on finishing your work out about an hour before you go to sleep (anything I should do differently?)? It seems on some days this is all I can manage to squeeze in.

As long as you can sleep well after that, it's fine.

Hey rayndaddy me again

4am, not drunk, just feeling philosophical, here goes


Your body doesn't know what x lbs of weight is, or what x amount of reps are

When you are told to perform x amount of reps, are you in reality just putting that muscle under stress for x amount of seconds it takes to complete those x reps?

Like time under tension is what I mean

What is the real difference in say hypertrophy, from doing recommended 8-12 reps rather than spending the same duration of time under tension but doing 5 slow ass reps?




When trainers ramble off 'do 12 reps of curls in the squat rack' is that just them putting it in an easy to digest and understand way for people to be putting their muscles under tension for a certain amount of time?

hey there, if my main goal is to lose weight and maintain as much str as possible what sort of routine should i be looking into

i havent been consistent with lifting weights for a while, my current weight is 194 and my goal weight is 170

Because it's not just pure tension. It's a contraction, followed by relaxation, repeated multiple times until failure. The duration of the reps are more beneficial for hypertrophy when performed slowly, however.

But you need to have a good blend of both slow concentrated reps with proper form, and also enough repetitions of contractions with relaxations.

However, a certain number of anything is usually used as a baseline for beginner and intermediate lifters.

Advanced lifters know that instinct pays off much better, and training until you "feel" a certain way is key - vs training until a certain number is achieved.
