All I can tell is if you strained your groin doing SS then your mechanics are probably off... do you have any vids of you squatting that we can take a look at?

Hmm only things I see is that your back is rounding at the bottom. Try to keep your core tight at the bottom and work on your ankle flexibility. Also look straight when squating. your motion looks fine to me.

If you're doing your running on a street pavement it will definitely make your legs sore (legs landing on concrete ain't fun), Running on an actual track pavement will help reduce that impact, or, finding low-impact options for your cardio days. Some suggestions are wind sprints (intervals of sprints), or walking on an inclined treadmill (just a few suggestions).

I wouldn't skip warmups and stretches... it prevents injury!. It's also good to stretch after the workout to restore some range in motion (unless you are stretching after your workouts as you cool down). I'm thinking it's more of a matter of more rest than it is nutrition, as you have to eat anyways to keep your workouts going. I know for sure at least you're getting enough food in since you're able to do your workouts with great intensity (hence, the soreness). It wouldn't hurt if you eased off the legs to allow it to recover fully. Heavy weight can be handled easier with fresh legs.

I'm not much of a fan of a decicated day of abs. I usually do abs in conjuction with another resistance exercise done after. A lot of your workouts will work your abs indirectly (especially legs), and even that, you don't need to spend too much time either since it's not that of a big muscle group to spend a dedicated day on (At most, 15 minutes of ab work is enough).

Finally, about carbs after a workout. After an intense workout, your body is still replacing the lost glycogen used in the muscles. A small, simple carbrohydrate drink during that window will help with the process, as that sugar is used to replace the glycogen at a faster rate than it does normally. Also, a little bit of protein will help as well during this process, but it's more of a ratio of 4:1 carb-protein. It is still okay to eat something an hour before a workout so you don't feel hungry, but not necessarily needed since there's already energy stored in your muscles for your body to use from the previous recovery period. If you workout in the morning, definitely some food to keep the hunger away.

I have a nutrition-based question.

I've read from multiple sources that you should eat a meal within an hour of getting out of bed. I was wondering if, say, I were to sleep through breakfast (that I normally at at around 0730), wake up at about 1130, and have lunch for the first meal of the day...would that be less than nutritionally ideal? Assuming I eat the same amount of meals in the day I would have had I woken up for breakfast, will my body just treat lunch as breakfast and not be affected?

eshlow, i have an anti-inflamms question.

my knee (the joint specifically) becomes really sore the very next day so i feel like i have to indulge in ibuprofen. is it bad that i take anti-inflamms after every training session?
