Almost finished with canditos training program
>advanced 9 week squat program

I do progress faster with low reps high intensity, and took a 425 squat to a 455 in those 10 Ish-weeks (traveling had me miss a workout or two) and man. 405 used to be big for me before I actually followed a real program and stuck till the end.
>405 for 5 feels good
Legs get stuby too

What's your opinion on the carb curfew, /fit/? Simple broscience or untapped knowledge not proven by poorly controlled experiments?

Runners I need some help. I keep getting shin splints when I run and would like a fast solution so they can be gone. I didn't use to have these. Before I could run far longer without an issue besides maybe general cramps or my cardiovascular limits. Now I can't even reach my limits because these shin splints start when I'm like not even 1 mile into my run.

I did a spend year out of the running game because of work and surgery which broke me out of the habit of working out and running, and when I got back to running I think I tried to simply do what I used to do instead of starting off with 0.9 mile runs for a while. Because I didn't believe I lost all my gains.

With all that said done quite a bit of research. Going to try foam rolling the shins and calves every day to massage the muscles, icing the shins for 15-20 minutes probably every day, try getting more vitamin C and D into my diet, and prioritize calf and shin muscle stretches and strengthening exercises before and/or after I run from now on. I've heard of a bunch of possible solutions and causes for it, and I'm pretty sure it's coming from over training. Which I didn't do when I started running for the first time ever 2 years ago.

With that in mind how do I treat and cure shin splints to get these muscles and myself back up to speed? I tried just swimming and letting them heal on their own for 5-6 days in recent attempts. They don't hurt much longer after I stop running, just a discomfort free rest period. But it returns fairly quickly after I try running again and exceed a certain distance. Often the 1st run is discomfort free for the most part, 2nd run I hit the limits quick, and my shins tell me to stop.

Any suggestions? Should I only run like .75 miles 3 days a week for multiple weeks? Keep in mind I'm pretty sure the cause is from rapid overuse before the muscles were ready. I can't find any detailed solutions that address that cause specifically.

Skelly here, been back on the gym for a few months now and I'm seeing gains across the board, but my upper/inner chest seems to be lagging behind. Right under my neck the only thing I can feel is bone, even though my chest numbers (and my weight) are increasing steadily. Are there any REAL exercises for focusing on developing the inner/outer chest? My chest routine is usually a form of bench press, a dumbell fly, cable crossover and a machine fly. I do a dropset with the last two exercises. My diet is alright, and I'm getting results everywhere else.

I weight ~67kg (147lbs), am 5'11ft tall. I bench 60kg total, counting the 20kg bar. Should I just keep going?

What's /fit/'s opinion on the "Abercrombie" workout where you go for a bishounen-type figure (for lack of a better term) over the traditional bulky athletic figure? I'm about to have my yearly attempt at getting /fit/, and was considering doing this instead of traditional lifting techniques after finding out I'm just tall enough and just anorexic enough to pass for a male model if I try a bit harder.
