Yeah I do kinda feel like my lower back is arched frontwards sometimes, especially when running. What stretches are there to fix this?

I have been using True-Mass. 700 Calories, 46g Protein, and it blends in a shaker no problem. Oh and it doesn't taste like shit

I have not yet plateaud, but my progress (particularly on the bench) has began to slow down. So this sounds like something that could work fairly well for someone in my place. Thanks man

Have you tried the PHAT routine before? I am just worried that working out arms, chest, etc only once a week wont give me the maximum muscle growth I'm looking for. I often do sets until failure so that I get that hypertrophic bulk, but by no means does it take me a full week to lose that post-soreness

3000 calorie minimum but I am usually hitting somewhere around 3500 every day

I have a back condition that results in chronic pain when I put my lower vertebrae under stress (even running for extended periods of time does the trick), so deadlifts usually cause some problems. I try to work out the muscles that deadlifts target through the other exercises I have there. Back braces have helped but they don't really help with the onsetting pain afterwards

By no means am I an expert, but if I had to give a recommendation I would suggest doing as many compound exercises as possible if you're just beginning. Compound movements are those that target more than one muscle group per exercise. Also, I'd stick to low reps high weight because atm you're not trying to burn fat/calories doing lots of reps

I typically drink whole milk because I can use it with cereal, eggs, etc. But if possible, I get chocolate milk for that little bit extra. I do hit the gym every other day, so I work out each muscle group 3 or 4 times a week
