Haven't been eating properly due to working like a dog.

I need to fix up my diet and get my passion back, I've still been training, just weights, no cardio, trying to maintain what I have, but my bodyfat has def. gone up due to poor diet. Good thing is the muscle is still there as I haven't lost strength. Bad thing is I now have a 36 inch waist to match lol. (I'm normally 34).

Stick to the basics and slowly lose fat or try a quick fat-loss diet to see some quick progress for now...?

Stick to the basics...quick weight loss usually = quick strength loss too.

It'll come back quicker than you think. Nothing worth having in life comes easy!

[bozodos]

i hear that fat loss is directly proportionate to the amount of squats completed

Don't forget deads!

If I've got a light inner quad/groin strain from squatting is there anything specific should be looking to improve in the form?

Does this mean my stance is too wide? I'm outside shoulder width as that's most comfortable on my ankle. Feet about 30deg.

From what I read its about poor hip mobility and I have had tender hip flexors for a little while.

I sit all day so no surprise.

If its on both sides, it's likely a flexibility issue with the adductors. Stretching hamstrings/adductors can help. As can more squats.

One good stretch for them is to stand with legs really wide apart and slowly straighten them...or stand with legs straight and slowly move them out until you feel the slight pinch, then hold.

It's just the one side and I was already doing hip flexor stretch, walking spider man, etc, I may just need to do a few more and be careful when it's cold. I have slacked a little with my stretching, it was daily, now it's just on workout days so I'll pull my finger back out.

Thanks for the stretch suggestion, I'll add it in.

I'm gonna go awkwardly foam roller my groin...

Get your missus to massage it, Dan

Like I said, awkward...

Kate's sister is down and had a good chuckle.

[L33SH]

I want a roller that can do that...

One side = usually a lapse or bias in form. You may be compensating somewhere because of ankle?

[No Crust Racing]

Not unusual to think so.

I'll see how I go and may go back and see Matt again now I'm being able to get a little deeper.
