My ribs are aching after a pushup. What's wrong? How are you doing the push-up? E.g. elbows out or elbows close to the body? |

I am underweight. How do I gain weight and muscle? Your answer is a bit on the general side. Perhaps you can be more specific on the types of exercises and what to eat. Also, references is better, that is, your answer will get more votes. Good luck! |

circuit weight training and total weight used good point! However, given that you have limited time, you could go for a "whole body" approach, e.g. with kettlebell type exercises (see fitness.stackexchange.com/q/2001/3778) that work the posterior chain. Working on relatively small muscles such as the biceps is in a limited time context less efficient. |

circuit weight training and total weight used Do you really need to use weight? Perhaps a body weight program would be better given your time constraints. |

During muscle loss, are muscle fibers destroyed or do they just shrink? Adding some links to back up the answer would be great. Also, the answer is a bit too open. You state that you will lose.. and then add that you can build.. The answer is missing what is different when you age. |

Eating before workout Working out for 90+120 minutes and not filling up with water and energy seems a bit on the destructive side |

Should I reboot Starting Strength program, to get better results? Perhaps you can add some detail on your overall goals, e.g. if this is for the purpose of general well-being, there shouldn't be any time pressure. On the other hand, if you have a specific goal in time, it is a different matter. |

Losing weight rapidly See this question fitness.stackexchange.com/a/7127/3778 for the BMI of world class female swimmers. If you put together a similar table for the best triathletes, I will put it in a similar diagram as an answer. |

Is 5 to 6 times workout per Week too much for the muscles to recover? It sounds like the planned schedule will put too much stress on your body, there is no time for recovery. Will probably feel ok for 2-3 weeks but then the probability for overtraining or injuries will increase. Perhaps this QA can help you, see fitness.stackexchange.com/a/9950/3778 |

Program to gain both muscle and endurance Maybe your goals are a bit conflicting. Increasing your BMI from 20 to 23 is challenging. For example, if your height is 180 cm, the a BMI of 20 means that your current weight is about 65 kg. In order to increase the BMI, your new weight will have to be about 75 kg. Gaining that much in muscle while training/competing in endurance sports sounds difficult. |
