  • Is this a good workout plan/routine to gain weight?

    I am a male, height about 5'10, I turned 19 exactly three months ago, and only weigh 112 pounds (as of when I weighed myself three weeks ago). I have always had a high metabolism, and just started working out again after a year and a half of not lifting. I started lifting 3 weeks ago and have gained four pounds since then (I now weigh 116). I want to weigh 185 pounds by the time I finish college in three years (so around this time in the year 2019). I eat about 3,000 calories per day, and also take a protein shake six days a week that contains 855 calories and 37 grams of protein per scoop, so I consume a total of around 3800-3900 calories everyday (except Sundays, the one day I don't drink the protein shake). I eat two eggs a day, and a lot of chicken and lamb, along with rice and bread. I go to the gym six days a week, and have three different gym days (upper body, legs, arms). To be honest, I don't really care that much about being strong, I just want to gain weight and get bigger, but need to work out to do so (due my high metabolism). Is my workout good, or should I change it? Thanks.

  • Will my license get suspended (Virginia)?

    I am a 19 year old male in Virginia and I received a speeding ticket for going 60 in a 45 almost seven days ago. Also, about a year and a half ago, when I was 17, I was pulled over for reckless driving for going 93 in a 55, but went to court and had a really good lawyer and only got charged with a traffic infraction and had to pay a $38 fine. Now that I got a speeding ticket I am worried that my license will get suspended, considering the fact that I was charged with a traffic infraction as a minor and now, a year and a half later, have received a speeding ticket as an adult. I already am expecting my insurance to go up, but will my license also get suspended? Thanks.

  • How to get rid of anxiety without medication?

    I'm a 19 year old male and I suffer from generalized anxiety. I always feel worried, feel like I'm always thinking, and have a heavy feeling in like my stomach/chest area, among other symptoms. It started out 13 months ago, when I recalled a situation in my life, that happened more than nine years ago, in which I'm pretty sure I was drugged, and thought i was raped or molested or something, but am positive nothing serious happened. I had also recalled this situation twice before, once about six years ago, and once three years ago. I have realized that whatever happened does not impact me now or in my future, but I believe that lead me to always feeling worried, since I had been thinking about that situation for months before concluding that I had no reason to think about it anymore. I think thinking about that situation and not knowing what happened in it is what initally gave me anxiety, and once I realized I had nothing to worry about, the anxiety just stuck with me and didn't go away. It may have been because I never got closure of what exactly happened. The thing is I dont need closure though. Plus, even if i tried to get closure, there would be no way of doing so. Anyway, I normally dont have bad anxiety during the day, as I just ignore it. But if I'm by myself, awake late at night, thats when it can get bad. So how can I get rid of my anxiety without medicine? I visited a pyschologist once, eight months ago, but he wanted me to see a psychotherapist before continuing.

  • How to get rid of anxiety?

    So I'm pretty sure I have anxiety... I always have this deep feeling in my chest, like the one that you get when you're anxious. I'm always worried for no reason, and I always say to myself in my head "I'm good". How do I get rid of this? I've felt this way for about six months or so, and while that I could live with this (which I've been doing), it's annoying as hell and I hate it. I've gone to a phschologist once and that helped a little (I'm going to go back to get help with anxiety and obsessive thoughts I have) and am going to start meditating. So how can I get rid of anxiety? Thanks.

  • What kind of therapist should I see?

    I am an 18 year old male and want to go to therapy but don't know what type of therapist I should see. I understand that there are different types of therapists such as pyschologists and psychiatrists and so on. I have some stuff I want to get off my mind and feel like I have anxiety and also overthink things. I just want to talk to someone that can understand/analyze my thoughts and feelings and help me through them. Thanks!

  • How to stop thinking about something?

    Alright so im an 18 year old male and i thought i was molested/raped or something along those lines when i was 9, but it turns out nothing happened. The thing is i cant stop thinking about it. Like the thought of rape or molest doesnt bother me but the situation i was in is always in the back of my mind. And when i am distracted (like with friends or doing something) it'll just pop up in my head. I think its cause i thought about it hard for like two straight months and when i realized nothing happened i had already thought about it so much that its kinda stuck in my head, and when im not thinking about it and it pops up i think "wow i was actually at peace of mind". Also, i had thought about this same situation in which i thought was raped when i was 12 and again when i was 15, but both times i realized i wasnt and would never think about it. Sometimes i would remember it but would just quickly be able to shrug it off, but now i cant seem to be able to. So how do i get this off my mind for good?

    P.S. I do not want to undergo any hypnosis or something to make me completely forget about the whole situation, i just want it to leave my conscious/not always be somewhere in the back of my mind

  • Is drinking too much water bad for you and is water weight permanent?

    So I'm 17 years old, male, and I only weigh a little more than 105 pounds, and am trying to gain weight. I recently heard that NFL running back DeMarco Murray drank 24 water bottles over the span of 24 hours and went from 210 on Wednesday night and was 220 on Thursday night before his game. Could I do something similar to this? I know that I'm not a grown man and and am also not a professional football player but I was thinking if I drank 6 water bottles a day then I could gain 2.5 pounds over 24 hours. I have a high metabolism and eat at least three meals a day and I am also going to start working out three times a week and drink protein shakes. Is this too much water being drank? And will the weight I gain from this water be permanent? Thanks.

  • Why does marijuana make your heart beat faster than usual?

    So I'm a 17 year old male, 105 pounds, and I smoked weed for the first time two nights ago. It was fun as crap although I noticed that my heart was beating very fast and I got kind of worried about that. Why does marijuana make your heart beat faster? Also, can this accelerated heart beat cause any heart or physical problems? Thanks

  • Average size for a Highschool Varsity Cornerback?

    I'm a junior in high school and want to start corner on varsity next year. I'm 5'10 but I'm skinny and only weigh like 110 pounds, so I figured if I got to at least 150 by August I would have a good chance of starting considering that the starting corner for JV (who is backup for varsity and is a junior) quit football and one of the starting corners will have graduated. I play football often with friends (some of which who play high school football), and have pretty good coverage. Rarely do I get beat (most that I guard play WR, play soccer, or run track, I can read the quarterback well and get a lot of picks. I can tackle decently but could get better. So what's a good size (height and weight) for a varsity corner. Also, how fast should I be? Like what is a good 40 time for a corner? Thanks
