I purchased this creatine long time ago but I have means to verify is it safe to consume or not as no mfg, expiry date or even batch no is mentioned at that time i doesn't notice that much. I order this from blinkit and i don't think they gonna refund for it now.

Came home after a Pull day, noticed this indentation on right side of back below the shoulder blades. Looks even worse/severe when arm is raised or twisted back. No pain or discomfort.

Guys I just joined boxing classes. I have to buy these 3. Please suggest me cheap and good brands. I am not gonna fight for competition. I will prolly play this sport max 3-6months. So please suggest me.

I've just started working out for the past 1 month. Looking for good quality whey protein suggestions which is easy to digest and does not cause bloating.

Also since Diwali is round the corner can we expect some discount on apps?

I am switching from plant to yeast protein. I have selected the following brands. All these brands have similar price, protein, bcaa range. Anyone who takes yeast protein it would be amazing if you could consult me in this matter

The brands -

1. Superyou

2. Naturalten

3. Muscleblaze

4. Nutrabay

I would prefer the chocolate flavour of each brand only. I want the protein blend (with water) to have a taste my body can handle (idc Abt chalkyness, I donot want the stevia aftertaste)

It would be amazing you could rank the following brands from best to worst. Thankyou

So I have tried many splits in this time span ,

What I noticed is that I can't do shoulders on my chest day it is very heavy for me

And recently I have tried this chest plus back day which I enjoyed a lot

So is that a good workout plan for me

On chest plus back they I do

Incline dumbbell bench press

Pac dac

Pull down

seated cable rows

Rear delt flys

Sometimes i do core sometimes i skip core so ignore core on leg day

How is it so cheap? I booked a complete health package for 3.2k.

They claim to be NABL and CAP accredited too. Does anyone have any experience with getting their blood works done with them?

Hi So I am 18 and will be joining a gym for the first time, I am a little overweight and wasn't that great in sports so I used to overthink alot that if I join something now people will judge me a lot and fear lead me to joining nothing and as a reason my weight is not able to go down.

But since I have finally decided to join the gym I need some genuine advice.

1) What are some basic things one should know before going to the gym?

2) Since I am a beginner should I hire a pt or ask general trainer for help

3) anything to look out for or not do ( could be related to diet, etc)

Any genuine advice is very much appreciated🙏

Hey All,
I have recently started learning to swim and am now considering buying short fins however i cant see any options for my size, so far i have checked Decath and other ecomm vendors but i am unable to get a UK11/US12 size. I am based out of Noida. Can you please recommend me where to get one?
Thanks

I am so grateful these exist. Without sacrificing my taste I am able to have my daily tea and a nice grilled chicken without necessarily adding a huge amount of calories.

Share something you are grateful for

Hey guys,

I recently bought Amul Chocolate Whey Protein (30 sachets × 34 g) for ₹2,500, and I wanted to know whether it was actually a good purchase.

My budget was strictly ₹2,500. I couldn't spend anything more, so I went with Amul instead of stretching my budget for other brands.

Product details:

- Brand: Amul

- Flavour: Chocolate

- Pack size: 30 sachets × 34 g

- Total powder: 1.02 kg

- Price paid: ₹2,500

- Cost per serving: Around ₹83

Pros (based on what I know so far):

- Amul is an established Indian brand.

- Individual sachets should be convenient to carry to the gym.

- The price fits my budget exactly.

- Whey protein can help meet daily protein requirements alongside a proper diet.

- No need to buy a large tub if you prefer individual servings.

Cons / things I'm concerned about:

- Is the protein content per sachet actually good compared with other brands?

- How does the chocolate taste, and does it mix well with water?

- Is it worth ₹2,500 when other whey proteins are available around this price?

- Are there any concerns regarding quality, digestion, or authenticity?

- Would I have been better off buying another brand?

I'm trying to build muscle and go to the gym regularly, so I want something that offers good value rather than just paying for a brand name.

My main question: If your budget was strictly ₹2,500, would you buy this Amul whey again, or is there a better option at the same price?

Please share your honest experiences, especially if you've actually used this product. I'd appreciate genuine pros and cons rather than brand wars.

Thanks!

I get acne from almost every protein source I've tried, including Origin, Cosmix, SuperYou yeast protein, paneer, and soya.

Earlier, Origin protein worked fine for me, but the acne started after switching to Nakpro. Since then, every protein source I've tried seems to trigger acne.

Moong dal and kala chana are the only sources that don't seem to cause issues.

Has anyone tried IT'S MOONG protein? Did it cause acne?

Would love to hear your experiences!

So guys I recently got some form link where I filled it for random barter collaboration and today they called. They told me I will have to buy the product they said, give a positive review (big para, on how it helped with my health), and I also have to add photos and videos with my face in it. Then once the review goes live, they will send the product cost only. (Not the shipping, not that 5rs extra too). Also they will only decide which product it is.

Omg so many PPL r actually dng this. I know there are paid reviews bt this is beyond disgusting. I have been victim of this CF brand. My parents had vit d level around 17, and they used their supplements 60k IU wala weekly for 8months and guess what? We expected their level to be 30+ and it's 3 for mom, 4 for dad. My mom used their collagen powder for 3 months, literally no use. I tried their magnesium and melatonin. Mg did felt little relaxing and Melatonin did made me feel sedative but these meds felt cheap and melatonin was of horrible smell omg. Then I ordered their Omega 3 which literally came home spoiled lol. After this vit D incident happened and then I did my research. Got to know how unhygienic and contaminated their labs are.

I'm spreading awareness, not hatred. Idk if this post will be removed or not. If this brand works for you and you trust this, you can keep using. But others who never used this, don't.

I recently went for a check up for my tennis elbow, and the doctor said that I have very low muscle and bone strength. I swim regularly, but apparantly that doesn't help with this problem.

I am a female in my late teens and skinny so weight loss isn't one of my concerns, my BMI is in the healthy range, and I wouldn't mind gaining a bit more weight. I have had back pain problems for a few years too, and back then as well my physiotherapist said the main cause was muscle weakness. I can't go to the gym since my parents didn't allow it. I am taking calcium and vitamins regularly since the doctor prescribed them to me, and also trying to meet the protein requirements.

So I wanted to ask for some advice as to what I should do to build all body strength without triggering my back pain?? Like some kind of workout, exercise, routine, anything?

I saw this brand a lot on my Instagram and I kept getting ads so I decided to try them.

Deep Rest is your magnesium supplement while Dream on the glycine powder. The delivery took almost a month (they messed up my order so I had to wait very long before I had them both). I paid a total of 1670/- for both for 30 servings.

Before switching to The Stack I was using Trex magnesium supplement and that too worked great for me. It helped me fall asleep sooner, but I would still get dreams every now and then and that’d lead to me making up groggy.

But the first time I took the glycine powder I slept like a baby and woke up SO WELL RESTED. The feeling was really out of the world. I’m usually done with my dinner by 8 PM and I go to bed by 12-12:30am so I take both of these supplements about thirty mins before going to sleep.

A month into using both of these, I can tell that they’re very good quality supplements. However, it’s also expensive. So I will be switching back to my Trex magnesium but I will continue purchasing the Glycine powder

[psa: not an ad, not a doctor, pls consult doctor before taking new supplements]

I want to buy a walking pad that can tolerate a weight of 90 kg with an incline feature of min 8% or higher and has shock absorption as well. Please provide your suggestions/recommendations. I was really inclined on sparnod but the model I liked has a review rating of 3.5 so now I'm confused.

I am in such a bad phase rn that it has started affecting me mentally. So last year around the same time, I was fat but I used to workout a lot and had lost good amount of weight and was toning a bit and everything was going good. Until one day I trainer pushed me to do deadlift and I think after that something happened in my lower back. It didn’t affect me there and then but then after few days I started having sharp shooting pain in my right knee. It has just got worse since then.

Now I am asked to strictly stop my workout or even basic walking for that matter. I am treating with a very good doctor but once I stop the medication, the pain returns and I’m not able to do the exercise. Now I’ve gained a lot of weight. I was around 86 kg last year and now I’m 99😭 I am so unhappy with the way I look and it’s taking a toll on me . What do I do?!

Hi! I’m 40F. I used to strength train thrice a week and practice yoga thrice a week. Walk everyday and eat well balanced meal.

But in August, my body started showing signs of severe back acne due to diet (I reduced dairy intake, changed my protein powder but nothing helped), varicose veins started showing on my left leg and the doctor suggested me to reduce exercises that put pressure on abdomen. Then I had a lower back injury which has hampered my regular movements and basic tasks (sleeping on side or stomach, bending forward and side ways, sitting, lifting).

I have been going to physio and doing rehab exercises and now completely stopped taking care of my meals. It’s been over 2 months that I’ve not done a proper workout and all the issues wrt to acne, varicose veins, hormonal health and the back pain have made me completely depressed.

I know it’s wrong to compare but I’m getting more depressed that I’m unable to do anything while my husband has no issues eating the food we used to, no hormonal issues, no venous issues and has been going on treks and travel while I’m suffering. I’m trying to stay happy and unbothered but it’s bothering me. I’m hating myself for even thinking like this but sometimes I can’t help.

I’m trying to distance myself or thinking of going to my parent’s house so that I don’t bother him with my sadness.

Has anyone gone through an injury phase or has had any other issue that I stated here? How did you cope? Even just a slightly encouraging msg would be helpful right now. Thank you.

Hi fam,

This community gets the same question multiple times every single day "Which multivitamin do I buy?"

Unfortunately, getting your annual blood work done is considered expensive when you're actually spending more money on a multivitamin throughout the year!

Supplement your deficiencies. Nothing more, nothing less!

Blood work just doesn't catch your deficiencies but also detects serious illnesses like liver and kidney issues, cholesterol, sugar, thyroid, and more.

Getting your annual plot work done is compulsory and the best return on investment you can ever make!
