Cardio with Pulled Calf Muscle

Ok, so I admit it, I get lazy and never stretch before working out. I'll stretch between sets when using weights, but never before/after cardio. Well luck finally caught up with and decided to spite me directly in calf muscle. I can barely walk now. So besides the obvious of I need to stretch from n...

Boss man - that makes perfect sense. Thanks for breaking it down. But the reason I chose the triceps/chest was because I heard that it's nearly impossible to work one out without working the other, so I figured I would just group those two together. Do you have a better recommendation as in what mus...

shaking arms

Recently when working chest/triceps towards the end of workout arms got really shaky when trying to do a dumbbell bench press. Normally when I workout muscles they get tired and I cannot lift the weights because there are too heavy. That wasn't the case this time, I seemed to be able to pick them up...

do you lose weight?

So I've always been curious, but I don't know if anyone would know the answer. When you lose weight where does it go? If I were to suddenly lose 10 pounds how does body get rid of it? Does it come out as feces/sweat/urine? I don't know, I guess this is more of a curiosity than an actual weight loss ...

fat loss and muscle gain at the same time

I have become a gym rat recently and almost immediately lost 8 pounds (from 246 to 236), but then I immediately gained a few pounds back and have been hovering at 241. The crazy part is no matter how much I workout weight stays almost constant at 241. I alternate workout routine, M-Upper Body T-Aero...
