i also did long distance running before, and i stopped after my ankle injuries becoming serious and start taking glucosamine on doc's advice. No matter how, i didn't see tat my body weight increase. ur case might be in term of nutritions. Did u control ur diet after stop running? Gain weight= calories intake > ur body required calories. EG: During ur running activity, u wont gain weight by eating MCD meals. But when u stop running=physical activity decrease, ur body weight sure go up if keep eating MCd meal. [JUST AN EXAMPLE ]
If u wanna go on low carb diet, make sure u ate sufficient carb too to support ur body basal activities.
I trained martial art in old time. Most of my training similiar to plyometric training. i dont carry weights at all. But now, i can 100% sure that carry weights can really gain strength faster than ever! now i still doing squat with dumbells wat
These are my progress after 3 months in gym. i will remove after 2 days....feel so shy...

Now i taking whey after workout and the following morning for nearly 1month. The protein blend is for my whole family

hey, dude. Decline chest press is one of the effective chest workout for dudes. For girls, better dont. Due to different hormonal lvl. girls having very hard time to gain muscle like man. those in us and female BB, i cant 100% guarantee they do it naturally

which one? the big one is a blend around 190, small one is whey around 130. now should be slightly cheaper ady.

knee pain when swimming? avoid kicking so hard when doing breast stroke kick!!! narrowing the breaststroke kicking will helps. the freestyle flutter kicks also make my legs pain when i try to compete uncle in the pool
hmm, u only can see the effect of glucossamine after u taking in certain period. it wont relieve ur pain in short period unless u take gluco+msm eg: gnc. But i taking glucosamine+chondroitin, juz more than enough. remember, rest is crucial factor and sufficient training too to avoid injuries from getting serious.
i taking whey protein after workout, and the following morning take another scoop of whey to recover and reduce soreness. Never to take whey as replacement of breakfast! if u intend to replace dinner after workout, u can try protein blend which got casein. Dont forget to take some complex carbs like oats, it helps recovery too and give u a sense of fullness, tats mean wont feel hungry.
wow, u squats heavy yo!!! tat day i try push to limits, 35lbsx2each side= 70lbsx8 on smith machine is my maximum

penang bridge marathon? u can start supplement wif gluco since knee pain. my running gang fellas also sufferring the similiar symptom like u do. mine is ankle prob, knee havent pain:P, perhaps somedays. make sure u wear the suitable running shoes, such as pronation type/overpronation/high arch...
I took CHONDROPIL (glucosamine+ chondroitin) RM60+ for 60 tablets. take 1 tablet, twice per day, preferable after meal. u can get it from any nearer pharmacy or CARING pharmacy. Now, i change to other brand(get it from oversea, take alternatively days, esp on hard training days )

Since u swimming, lat pull down shouldn't be a problem. i swim breaststroke alot. My max weights for lat pull down 50lbs for 12reps. Normally, i not pushing to limit since my back and wrist injured in old time. 30/40lbs works fine for me, but aim for more reps
