you shouldn't work through pain. Where does it hurt? What movements hurt? | ||

As far as where it bothers me... everywhere? Its a general stiffness throuhout my knee, a sharp pain directly under the knee cap, a soreness both at the top of the tibia and in my quadriceps muscle (so above and below the knee) and a deep ache in the entire back of my knee. Massages help the ache and the quadricep, but other than that i just have to stay off it as muh as i can, and wait for it to subside. Its something i really should have gone to visit a doctor for years ago, but just never got around to. | ||

It seems he has a really good stance on the subject.  Thanks for sharing! | ||

Another issue that I have found with CrossFit style of training is the lack of individualization. If you train in a large group, then CrossFit works great. BUT if you train by yourself or with a partner and are looking for the fastest gains, then the programs MUST be individualized. Take the example of someone in anterior pelvic tilt (which seems to be most people nowadays). If most of the workouts prescribed involve squats, deadlifts and presses, chances are the pelvis will remain in anterior pelvic tilt. Prolonged exposure to these type of exercises while in anterior pelvic tilt will inevitably lead to back problems. Not surprisingly, I get alot of ex-CrossFitters that needed to stop because of back troubles. Please realize that I did analyze their techniques for all the lifts and it was great. The problem was that each one of them was in anterior pelvic tilt. ???squats deadlifting and press will give you back problems if in "anterior pelvic tilt" even if you use good form.??? Can some1 knowledgeable on the subject explain more about this? I THINK anterior pelvic tilt has something to do with sitting too long and having tight hip muscles, but thats a guess. | ||

From what I remember from one of his lectures, it's exactly that. If you sit for long periods of time (aka, everyone), your hip flexors effectively shorten. Try standing up relaxed, and then push your hips forward like you're humping the air, you'll notice that your hip flexors are probably pretty tight. At least, that's how I remember him explaining it; doing hip flexor flexibility work helps. | ||

Currently weigh in at a staggering 145lbs (64.7kg). I need to gain 10lbs (4.5kg) in 3-4 weeks. I know it's nearly impossible, but need to gain as much weight as possible. I started to try and gain weight about a month ago. Went to GNC for some whey protein and other body building stuff. I read up a bit on what to look for beforehand and the guy there was helpful and helped me make up a workout schedule. Been doing it now for a month and haven't gained ANY weight. My body does feel denser and I do feel stronger, but no weight gain. My current "program" consists of taking 1 scoop of whey protein with milk after breakfast. Breakfast is usually 4 eggs and 4 pieces of toast. After an hour wait I go to the gym and do a full body workout. I avoid running because I hate it, but try to do it at least once a week. Immediately after the workout I take 2 scoops "AMP Amplified Mass XXX" (105g) with milk. Have lunch which is usually chicken, fish, or steak and then dinner later on which is the usually the same. Side dishes vary from beans, rich, and veggies. I snack here and there to take more food in, but not really that much. Before I go to sleep I take another two scoops of the AMP stuff with milk. I've been reading up and from what I've found I'm suppose to double the amount of whey protein after 2-3 weeks if my strength is about the same. I feel stronger, but not heavier so not sure if I should proceed in doing that. I know your suppose to take .7g of protein for every pound you weigh. Any recommendations? I'm pretty much open to anything right now and am willing to switch up my schedule entirely. | ||

I'm pretty much open to anything right now and am willing to switch up my schedule entirely. The OP has information on this, but I'll give it to you here anyway: Starting Strength and a gallon of whole milk a day. Go look Starting Strength wiki up on Google. If you follow the program right (that means to the letter), and drink your gallon of milk a day, you'll gain 10-15 pounds in a couple of weeks. The problem with people at GNC and other trainers is that they suck at what they do. Increasing the weight "based on feeling" is a terrible concept for a novice, as you should be increasing your weight sessionly, even if you feel like it'll be too heavy. You'll surprise yourself at times... last Tuesday I bench pressed 88kg x 5 x 3, and I felt it was really heavy. That Sunday, I bench pressed 90kg x 5 x 3, keeping my 2kg/session increases, and it was a joke. The point here is that if you push your body to grow, and you take in enough calories, you will hit your strength and muscle gain goals. | ||

Starting Strength + milk Don't waste money on supps when you can buy milk and other high calorically dense foods. | ||
