I had slightly different, but similar, problem a little while ago; I was experiencing elbow pain from squats. For me it turned out to be a tightness in my lats causing a sort of chain reaction,...

If your DOMS are that bad it's likely counterproductive.

I train 3-4 times per week currently and do some kind of squatting or deadlifting exercise every time I train. Very rarely push...

So are you within calorie/macro/micro goals?

Just that and nothing else?

Pretty far from optimal I'd say.

If maintenance = 2500 anything above 2500 = gain and anything below 2500 = loss.

Will your scenario make a noticeable difference? Probably not.

Personally I'd go straight in.

Also don't worry too much about hitting those macros perfectly.

Just hit the cals and make sure protein and fat are high enough.

Make sure weight is going up...

A lot of personal trainers haven't got the faintest idea what they're talking about. Trust me.

No need to avoid cardio but I will say that unless it is specific to your goals, it's usually a bad...

Pretty much this^

I work in a gym and all my colleagues are choc full of broscience. I can't be bothered to debate them so whenever they ask why I'm eating PB sandwiches while they're eating brown...

So you feel tired without the oats, and fine with them?

And you can't draw a conclusion from that yourself?

Also I'm pretty sure they upped the recommendation from 5 a day to 7, with at least 5...

An overdone handshake can be just as bad as a weak one.

Protein + CHO source 3 times then 1 only protein? So where's the fat?

Sounds like a typical diet put together by someone who wants to eat right but doesn't really know how.

It's cool I'll just stop lifting. That ought to preserve some calories for maximum gains.

Half squatting. I used to be the sort of guy who would load 2.5 plates and half squat when I was too weak to parallel squat 80k (176lb) then do a light weight set of like 60k with proper depth,...

Thanks a lot for the advice everyone, I've been talking with a PT who's very good on his anatomy knowledge and I'm doing a bunch of postural correction and rehab work to hopefully sort it out.

It was something along the lines of my pelvis not sitting in quite the right position, and my spine being hypo lordotic. He said this was causing a pinch on a disk leading to neurological weakness in...

Ok so my issue is this:

I have a hip/back issue. It started about 6 months ago with a dull ache in my right hip and developed into very bad low back pain. I've spoken to a number of people about...

You don't need to pay somebody to tell you to eat a lot and do compound lifts multiple times a week with progressive overload.

As stated in this thread, there's a lot of BS in the fitness industry...

Yeah I'd give that a miss.

What is Russian Bear?

Is the sugar in it sucrose/fructose?
