With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

Do you mix cardio workouts in with your weight training? You should fill out your profile and give us more information. -------------- Mike

If you are still pretty young, you may just be going through a growth spurt. It happens.
