I have known I have had Scoliosis since like 6th grade (12, now 23).

I never really worked my back too hard because of this but I would really like to hit my back hard on back days.

Are there any limits to what I can do without disturbing my lower-mid back?
or any recommendations on lifts that won't disturb my problem?

1. I'd say 5ft 7'. I really do not know a BF % but I have enough on my stomach to not want. Doesn't show in other areas though.
2. I feel like I have bad digestion and low metabolism. I do not like chicken when cooked at home but at a restaurant the chicken seems great... I do not like spinach, mushrooms, peppers (though i like spicy food), I don't think I could eat duck, deer, rabbit or other animals besides cow and pig -____-... I also do not like an overload of veggies.
3. I don't really exercise, but when I do it consist of running up and down stairs and some sit ups ( i know this isn't good enough lol) I was thinking of starting a gym membership because the area I live in isn't great for walking or running around.

More info. I work full time and sleep 7-8 hours if I can. So i have 7-8 hours of time during most days, besides the occasional day off...
I do not own a car yet, I am 20 years old and saving up for one because my parents never just handed me keys but what I am trying to get to is, I would have to walk, run, bike to where ever.
I am willing to do gym stuff just also really don't know what to do to get the results i wish for. ( Toned enough to be happier and be able to keep it )

Raynor, what say you about this: http://blog.arkofwellness.com/fish-oil-a-dangerous-supplement/

Pretty much it is an article debunking the benefits of fish oil.

you've mentioned rinsing your mouth with salt water instead of mouth wash.

1. what concentration?
2. NaCl or KCl?

i wanna prepare a .5L bottle at work with the salt water, then pour into a cup when i use it.

Hello, I just finished wrestling season and I am done cutting weight.  Looking to put muscle mass back on and get my strength back up.

Wrestling finished about 3 weeks ago, I have put 17 pounds back on from my wrestling weight, but I was cutting to get to 132.

Here are my stats:

5'5.5"
149 lbs
12.3% BF
Squat: 365 x3
Bench: 205 x3
Clean: 185 x2
Deadlift: 295 x2

I want to put on muscle mass and gain strength.

I have been successful in doing this myself in the past, but the results aren't quite what I wanted last season.

I was wondering if I could get your expert help in putting together a workout routine and diet where the goal is to put on muscle mass and gain strength with gaining as little body fat as possible.  Or if you could help me construct  a bulking workout routine / diet that I would follow for x amount of weeks, then give me a cutting routine / diet.

I would really appreciate you getting back to me.

If you could pm me about this, that would be great.  Maybe private email as well.

I am currently on a workout routine that involves 5 minute burnouts for each muscle group as the last lift for that muscle group and I'm not sure if it is the best routine for what I am looking for.  I know that I really need to fix my diet.  Anyways, please get back to me ASAP.

Besides the usual EFA's, you could also use a boatload of Cayenne Pepper and Tumeric on your food. These have been shown to reduce inflammation.
