I've been hitting the gym for a couple of months now, and I'm thinking about starting protein powder. How many more months should I wait before it's okay to start taking it? And is it actually safe to include in my routine?

View allI'm really worried about this pain I've been having. I fell on my left side while trying to stop a cricket ball, and now I'm feeling a lot of pain near my lower left rib cage, especially when I'm moving around, walking, or even just turning in my sleep. It's been about 5 days now, and I'm getting concerned that I might have injured my spleen or if it's just a muscle tear. Could you shed some light on what this might be?
It sounds like you may have strained the muscles around your lower left rib cage, especially since the pain worsens with movement. While a spleen injury could cause pain in the area, its less likely unless there's significant trauma, such as a direct blow. If the pain persists or worsens, its best to consult a doctor for an evaluation.

I'm someone who hits the gym regularly and likes to take my protein shake every day after working out. Ive been wondering, if I masturbate once a week or every two weeks, will it impact my muscle growth or body size? Will it affect how my body develops?
Masturbation, when done in moderation, does not have a significant impact on muscle growth or body size. Its a natural activity that doesnt interfere with your ability to build muscle or your physical progress as long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle, including proper nutrition and exercise. Focus on your workout regimen and diet for the best results.
