Question 1

give me suggestions about diet plan and exercise to increase my muscle size and strength. i noticed only small development in 6 months of gymming.

Accepted Answer

See below: Decrease processed carbohydrates, such as bread, pasta, cookies, and so on.  Eat well balanced meals, including healthy carbs, fats, and proteins. Drink water.
Do weight intensive exercises with your major muscles, working to do each set to exhaustion.  One or two sets, six to eight reps each, once or twice a week, so show excellent results in two months. You may not be using heavy enough weights.

Question 2

over the course of 2020 i rapidly picked up weight (~10kg) with roughly the same diet. i am significantly more bulkier and i look more muscular. (even though i wasnt gymming) please assist. 
22 y/o, 176cm, 71kg. ?

Accepted Answer

Weight gain: Weight and BMI tell you nothing about the ratio of fat to lean body mass in your body. Obesity is excessive body fat and to determine this you need to measure your body composition. There are some inexpensive scales that use bioelectrical impedance to measure body composition and these readings give you a rough estimate of your body composition. Looking muscular is a good sign.

Question 3

i get sick very frequently. every fortnight i get cold and fever. i m a total gym freak with regular gymming. i eat out sometimes. plz help wot to do?

Accepted Answer

Fevers: Next time this occurs go to your doctor with a full list of the times this has occurred, the symptoms you experienced, and be prepared to provide a detailed history of your medical conditions, social and sexual background, etc., and to undergo a detailed exam and labs as necessary. Good luck and hope this turns out to be nothing too severe.

Question 4

can i do gymming during mild thickening of epididymitis in my left scrotum? plz advice

Accepted Answer

Yes, as long as ...: Yes, enjoying work-out in gym as long as being tolerable and comfortable for you. Of course, realize the good thing always comes with its limitation for an individual; so let common sense rule life.

Question 5

can i do cardio n gymming as i have vitamin d deficiency and pcos ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Doing exercise at the gym is fine to do, even with low vitamin d levels. One should contact her doctor if she gets new symptoms during working out at the gym (increasing the intensity of workouts very gradually, makes it less likely to get the aches and pains of "over-use" symptoms. The doctor might prescribe 50, 000 units of vitamin d per week, if a patient is very low on her test results.

Question 6

if a person with bipolar disorder is advised not to meditate or gymming. why would it be? does the person face difficulty in concentrating?

Accepted Answer

Treat BP first: Untreated bipolar disorder, depending on the mood phase that you are in can lead to excess  in both activity (if manic) as well as negative preoccupations (if depressed).  If you are stable and on your medications consistently, I do not see a problem with participation in meditation or  exercise. In fact, both could be beneficial.

Question 7

i had a myomectomy on 12december2012. i was told 4 weeks post op and i can start gymming. is it too soon? still feels swollen around the scar.

Accepted Answer

If ok with surgeon: Different surgeons may have different opinions but i think it is reasonable to begin low impact aerobic exercise and light weights with addition of increasing resistance over the next 3 weeks. Monitor your wound in the progress. It often takes up to 48 hours to assess pain and tenderness after a new exercise regimen do start slowly. Compression garments over the scar may help minimize swelling.

Question 8

ive been having this feeling for about a month everyday where my heart beats normally and has 2 super fast flutters followed by a slow pulse and a long pause between my heartbeats as if it stops for a second. it goes away when gymming but so worried?

Accepted Answer

Cardiac Symptoms: Please see your doctor ASAP.  He/she may refer you to a cardiologist.  Please don't worry.  There are lots of possibilities but it is essential that a doctor diagnose you.  Peace and good health.

Question 9

hello. i have recently started gymming under the guidance of a personal trainer. yesterday was my third session (mostly very lights weights and freestyle - no cardio since i'm quite skinny) and late at night i found a swelling / lump in my right groin. th

Accepted Answer

? new  ?? not new: Many times a person finds "new things" on her body when something else is going on that focuses new attention there such as starting a workout program.This lump may have been there a long time. It is most likely related to a previous or current skin infection in the vulvar/pelvic area. Make sure you don't have current signs of infection,apply moist heat, see doc if lump persists after 7-10 days.

Question 10

hey, doctor i go to gym daily & have started to intake endura mass as protein. 
thus should i take it 1 hour before gymming or suddenly after gymming ?

Accepted Answer

Does not matter: If you are taking a mixed diet, there is no need for the protein supplement. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex.
