Goodmornings: what rep scheme should I use oh. okay. hmmm. Would it just be smarter to do a bodyweight exercise on a GHD machine, combined with the low bar back squats I've been doing, until things improve? |

Should I take protein supplements with my regimen and, if so, how often? one comment - you say you're getting progress in strength, but little to no growth is size. You also mention that you're trying to get ready to join the Army. I never served, but I'd point out that if you're getting consistent strength increases at major barbel lifts (benchpresses, military presses, squats, deadlifts), then you're probably doing fine. Don't sweat hypertrophy too much - getting stronger without getting bigger can be great if you want to have more athletic abilities. And doing a pure hypertrophy workout may or may not align with your athletic goals. |

Are there any advantages of being an ectomorph? +1: there are absolutley badass sports that smaller athletes excel at. Distance running, cycling (especially up steep hills), rock climbing. You don't have to be built like a powerlifter to do ALL sports (although some level of strength training is usually beneficial). |

How to prepare your body for gym workouts? I think all he meant was that you shouldn't overanalyze this. Do a little bit of research, pick a workout program, and get started trying it. You can always change your plan later, if you decide you don't like something about it. Taking action is the important thing. |

Are sit-ups harmful to female anatomy? I just read the 2nd article. I don't doubt that its sound medical advice for its intended audience (as Dave Lieppann mentions). It also recommends against straining to poop, for the same reasons... this really seems like advice targeted at someone with a specific pre-existing injury, not general fitness advice. |

Blurry vision after exercise? What's your blood pressure? Do you know your resting heart rate, or your heart rate right when you finjsh exercising? Have you checked it recently? After exercise? I've sometimes had "throbbing vision" right after extremely strenuous exercise. But I'm pretty sure that if what you're experiencing is related to a high pulse rate or high blood pressure, then it's very unhealthy, and you might want to see a doctor. |

How do I increase endurance in doing pull-ups? Your plan of 5 sets of pullups with 2+ minute rests sounds fine. Like @VPeric says, you can find other plans for training pullups on this site, if you wanted. You say that your reps are going up slowly, and that sounds OK. Pullups are hard, just be patient, and keep training consistently, and you'll get better. |
