Anterior Pelvic Tilt

John 9 years ago • updated by andy 9 years ago • 2

Hey Marc, 


After seeing an article mentioning it, I feel like I have a slight case of Anterior Pelvic Tilt. It doesn't seem to be causing any lower back issues or anything but I feel that it is pushing my lower stomach out more and causing me to appear to have a worse composition than I really do. Any tips on how to correct it? I have began sleeping on my sides and back rather than my stomach because I did read where that is a main cause. However, unlike most websites etc., I consider you a very credible source and would love your feedback. 


Thanks,

John

I would work on core strength and pillar prep. See this: 

Also work on planks, GOBLET squats and other functional closed chain movements

Am I overreaching?

Ryan 9 years ago • updated by andy 9 years ago • 2

hey Marc I'm 20 years old and I have been weightlifting consistently for about 3 years.. Im small framed and lean. I'm 5"5 and 115 pounds. My body fat is about 7 percent. Most people say I'm under that but I don't believe so. Anyway I usually train for weeks at a time without taking any days off and within the last month or two I feel like I have been constantly tired.. even though I sleep great and get plenty of it. My workouts have suffered a bit recently too with not haveing a lot of energy. I have been having trouble  concentrating and have lost interest in somethings.. and My lifts have been pretty much staying the same even though I'm eating at or above maintance. Thank you for your time!

Yessir, overREACHING! Go to 4 days for a while and recover, at least 4-5 weeks. See this: https://content.tigerfitness.com/dorian-yates-training-frequency/

Low Body Fat Bumps

Zach 9 years ago • updated by andy 9 years ago • 2

At a low body fat level I see a couple round bumps (~1 cm diameter) that you often see on competitors when on stage. I see various opinions on what they are (lipomas, odd veins, muscle deformities). What are they?

Answer

It depends. Could be cysts, could be hernias

Hindsight of Pre-Workout??

Grayson Adams 9 years ago • updated by andy 9 years ago • 2

Does taking pre-workout have any negative effects on your body?  If so, is it worth taking it?  And if not, then what is proper dosage/cycle to keep the intense pre-workout pump in the gym with out double or even triple scooping your pre-workout.

Answer

CLASH preworkout has some many benefits and if healthy, little to no negatives. See more about it here! http://www.tigerfitness.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=mtsclash

Too Much Protein Supplements????

aleccarruthers5 9 years ago • updated by andy 9 years ago • 3

Hello Marc, 

For breakfast I have oatmeal with a scoop of mts red velvet whey. For lunch/ my second meal i have mts epic gains with a scoop of vanilla protein powder and frozen blueberries. A snack in the afternoon is a quest bar with some other things. After I have dinner, my last major meal consists of another protein bar with a kind bar and some additional healthy fats from natural peanut butter. I was wondering if you think I am eating too many protein supplements and could be making my diet not very "clean." I appreciate your input and thanks.

No Sir. Whey has the highest biological value--it is simply FOOD! Enjoy! Although I would cut down on the bars...I just think they are crap
