The Official Gym & Fitness Thread

Just remember, do not diagnose yourself and do no let the past experiences of others diagnose you. At the end of the day what happened to you can be a completely different thing, even if it's in the same area. Best thing to do is to go to the Dr. if you can, or if not just don't do anything strenous if you can avoid it so that you won't make it worse.

Or it can be the same thing! But you never really know!

 

The side that is injured is smaller or bigger you say?

 

One that hurts is smaller.

 

The one that hurts is smaller from a frontal view of my traps when compared but when my wife looked at my back she said that the hurt trap looked really swolen. It's nowhere near as painful as it was on monday and I avoided the gym this week. I'm thinking that it was maybe just a strain on the muscle.

 

Ice first 72 hours, then heat after that

 

I have something I've been wondering about. I know that most people suggest working out in the morning. With the way my schedule is, I pretty much always have to work out in the evenings, sometimes even around 9 pm. Obviously, taking a preworkout that late can screw up your sleep. But can working out that late screw up any protein or carb supplements that you take? Since I pretty much just eat, take supplements, and go to bed right afterward? I just don't want to be wasting my supplements or negating their benefits. Are there any other negative effects to working out that late? Very seldom do I work out that late. I generally have finished my workout by 6-7pm.

It mainly concerns me because I'm trying to gain mass and weight, but I don't want eating and taking protein & carbs that late to just turn into pudge.

 

Take casein before bed...slow acting protien works great overnight

 

I only use casein if i need to hit my fat macro
