If you are skinny and want to gain muscle mass should you run and lift weights or just lift weights?

In order to gain muscle mass, you should do more weight lifting and less cardio. However, don't give up cardio altogether. Instead, cut your treadmill (or whatever) time down to 10 - 15 minutes, and do it prior to lifting. This way, your heart gets its workout. You could also get some whey protein and take it twice a day. I used it and was very happy with the results. Good luck and work hard!

Will lifting weights aggrevate pleurisy condition?

I have experienced this condition. I believe it is from weight lifting. As soon as I take a break from lifting (a week or more) the pain subsides. It comes and goes in waves, and not throughout the entire day. It's a sharp pain in the chest, and sometimes extending to the upper arm and back areas. I've had these symptoms for years, and only after intense workouts - like the 2nd through the 5th day after an intense weight lifting session (but not necessarily after EVERY intense lifting session). I have not been able to find any definitive scientific research to back up my theory, only first hand experience and seeing other bodybuilder's ask this same question online about the link between pleurisy and weight lifting.

Sit and Stand With Good Posture, Take Active Breaks From Your Desk, When lifting objects, especially heavier items, remember to stand squarely in front of the item, bending down and using your knees, hips and legs to do most of the lifting, If your body is giving you any signs of repetitive pain in your neck or back, this is a warning that you may be in danger of a severe strain. Try to stop, stretch and take a break.
