Re: Proper Warm-Up for Injury-Free Gains
Trust me, dynamic warm-ups have drastically reduced my joint pain during workouts. Anyone else here swear by dynamic stretches?Before every workout, I spend at least 8–10 minutes on dynamic mobility drills. My favorites are hip circles, arm swings, and walking lunges.

Good point, @ValkyrieLift! I keep it simple: chicken breast, eggs, and protein shakes. 
For vegetarians, lentils and tofu are awesome options. Don’t overthink it—just hit your daily protein target consistently.

Re: Why Did You Start Your Fitness Journey?
Growing up, I was always the skinny kid. People underestimated me because of my size.

Rogue, absolutely! Farmer’s carries and sled pushes have done wonders for my endurance. My heavy lifting sessions feel way easier now.
