Hey guys, well i always have had acne and pimple problems ever since i was 14. I will eb turning 19this year. Last year january, I went to see a dermatologist and took Roaccutane which apparently reduces oil secretion .after three months the acnes and pimples on my face subsided and really got much better. Though during that time, Ithere were stilll acne popping up on my chest are every once in a while. Recently, my acne problem relapse and I'm taking the same medicine again.
the thing is the doctor says that it's alright to take milk, but cut out whey protein as it apparently has steroids in it, something I know isn't true as if whey protein, or at least the once i've been taking had steroids in them, I would definitely be much more muscular and my chinups wouldve gone up much faster. I've pretty much been progressing very slowly, slow enough that it feels like my progress is stagnant. Well but my workout and rehab program for my back isn't the topic here.

Now , I've looked up milk and whey proteins, and apparently both may have side effects of acnes and pimples.
My current diet consist of only one scoop of whey protein(24g protein)every morning or two scoops (the second serving after workout), and 3-4glasses of milk(anbout 200-250ml each class).
so 4glasses of milk is about 24g of protein and 480calories, whereas one scoop of protein is only 120 calories.

I don't mind eating a lil more of other stuff to compensate for the absence of one, but I was wondering if you guys think I should cut both, or if i were to cut one which should I cut?

I'm looking into getting calcium pills + vitamin D as agian, I read some research on how taking calcium pills alone increases risk of cancer or something like that, whereas when accompanied with vitamin d, consumers get better result. I mean after all, vitamin Ds helps in calcium absorption

cheers

Hey guys from the video i definitely have to keep my back more upright at the bottom by not pushing with my hips first. Is there anything else I should take note of? It's 80kg excluding the bar.

hey guys as im a sucker for when it comes to heavy squatting, I decided to ramp up to my max 8reps pf squats and add on weigt every time I hit the gym which is twice a week . I'm doing 90kg squat with a bw of 60kg. after the eigt reps I got the weight down to 60kg and do 15reps for volume. a friend actually told me that I could do that at least since I really hate squats.  I know there are those who ramps it up for a set of five and lower the weight down and do a set or two of eight. but in this.case im doing eight. amd so far I have beem progressing well  with 8resps.
before I stopped leg training about 8-10months ago after quiting basketball, I had a pr of 90kg for 5 repa which by the way, form wasnt solid. was more of a back workout than a leg workout. nthe 8reps of 90 im doing now feels rather solid and hits parallel.
what do you guys think of ramping up to a set of eight followed by maybe 12-15 rep squats? , or would I have to ranp up to ffive and do light seta of eight for it to actually workout okay?

Hey guys, well i've noticed recently that when i sneeze, my back, particularly the middle back, would hurt and have this sharp pain in the spine like as though it's gonna snap. Normally sneeze in the morning, so not sure if it's just my body still stiff and not awaken up properly or i do have some back issues. My history of injuries associated with my back would be a hairline fracture at my lower spine, which in this case, doesn't seem like that's the problem as the pain is felt above my lower back. But another problem would be  my body being stiff, back being stiff too
if not mistaken the pain is somewhere lower down the lower traps. the middle of your back.

Ever done an abs crunch machine with too much weight that you start feeling that middle part of your back? or probably usign too much weights on lateral raises: http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/DeltoidLateral/DBLateralRaise.html

or even weighted planks, and pushing yourself when your abs have given up and you start feeling it in your back?
Well not that i do weighted planks or ab crunches anymore, i still do some core work which really works my abs on keeping the spine straight and preventing it from hyperextending


well then if any details needed let me know

cheers

Hey just wondering, i've been doign weighted pull ups for a while now, and was wondering if i should do weighted chin ups instead or something. I'm doing it 2x a week currently. will be changing my routine from 3x a week to 2x a week, probably getting bench press and pullups on one workout and then shoulder press and chinups/pullups on another.

thoughts?

cheers

Hey was wondering about the proper form for a bench press.
About slightly wider than shoulder width grip yes? and do you bring the bar to your lower chest(like below your nipple line at the line intersecting between the chest and ribs) or middle chest?

cheers

Hey people. Well after monday's workout, which consisted of squat, rdl and leg press, i was wondering what is the relation between squats and deadlifts. I remember how a 1.5xsquat can be replaced with 3x leg press. So the depth i did on the leg press, was lesser than my not consistent parallel squat, but even so i could only do 120kg twice , could've probably done 130kg for once but failed on 140kg anyways. Now since the leg press weight used standard is twice of squats,  with my squats being 90kg  for 6plus reps, my leg press is only at most 130kg. Seeing how  my quads dont as much work as my back and glute,and my leg press, which is a leg dominant(probably quad), is much lower refering to my legpress to squat ratio, and feeling the quads while doing legpress, was thinking maybe my weaknesses or strength can be evaluated.  Looking at my legs itself, it's neither big or sticklike thin, and not that muscular, i was thinking my legs are weak enough that it's holding my squats back? Thoughts on this.

Hey peeps well after warming up , i felt some right hip buggine as well as knee while doing my sprint warm up (40percent,60percent both 10m, then 90percent 20m),. I stil lfelt that buggin feeling after the 90percen,t so did some stretches for quads,  glutes, calfs, still didnt help. tried doign soem low peterson step ups, no help. raised my knees to 90degree angle, and jsut extend it and ascend like doign a leg extension, pain still didn't go away. went inside sat for a little while, as i got up, the second my legs are fully extended, below the external sides of my knees hurt like hell. it was a really sharp pain, tried walking, pain felt there every stride.  So i'm calling it off for today

i was thinking when i was massaging my calfs, especially the external side, kinda pressed it a little too hard and hurt a tiny bit, c ontinued pressing it but i doubt that could've provoked this injury.


anybody got this before?

thanks
