I just recently started taking fish oil everyday and was wondering what other vitamins you guys here take?

Tangy tangerine has all I need except fish oil

That really sucks themlgcjay, as that can set you back a bit with fitness and finances.

I am pleased that I have been to the gym this week going 5 for 5. I have lost 2 lbs and not at the expense of muscle loss. I finally gave in and downloaded a calorie tracking apps that will help keep me accountable for what I am eating.

I've had lower back issues for several years, with time of work etc, finally found a doctor who informed me that it was tight hamstrings that cause many back issues in men. Showed me a few exercises/ stretches and now have reduced issues.

Torn muscles go blue and black and get swollen. For the most part they heal heal on their own. Tendon ruptures are anothr story.

Tight hamstrings and shortened hip flexors. Stretch the latter too

Ibuprofen or aleeve coupled with ice, hot baths and foam rolling. Try a muscle relaxant.

Finally got round to getting a bench after clearing out the garage and want to start introducing bench presses into my routine. Any advice for someone just starting out?

I do mostly cardio stuff but I also do a wide range of weights to get a bit more trim. No big weights, the highest I do is 22kg with an easy curl bar so i'm a bit intimidated by the bench press.

Been a long time lurker on this thread. You guys do a great job. Some superb advice!

Oh and I'm going to try and make some protein bars (sick of the taste of this manky strawberry protein powder, unflavoured was even better as this stuff just taste mank!) with the usual ingredients and had a load of fine ground Oat Bran from a Dukan diet and wondered if anybody had tried it in making bars?

I take it i'd still need oats to hold it together?

Not sure if this is appropriate in this thread so apologies if not!

I had a lot of upper and lower back pain a few years ago due to poor posture. I started training in Muay Thai 2 years ago and after maybe only a month of training 3 times a week almost all pain the had left me

Obviously it's not the same training a martial art as it is fitness alone but i do a lot of cardio and core exercises, keeping the heart rate up and also full body stretches

I am not one for going to the gym and just exercising or weight training as it bores me too much and can't keep my attention, however learning a martial art has been able to teach me a whole world of things and improved my health and body 10 fold

I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for a way to keep fit that doesn't or can't just sit at the gym for hours exercising or weight training

Insanity sorted my back out all right.
Damn near destroys me everytime I do it but I have it to thank for strengthening my back.

At the moment I must be putting my heart under a mighty strain as I seem to workout to balance out all the crap eating and drinking. Though I have made some permanent lifestyle changes when it comes to diet like lowest fat milk, brown bread, brown pasta, diet coke when i'm boozing yadda yadda.

I just do an insanity when i'm putting on a few pounds.
