Re: Best Protein Powders for Beginners – What to Choose?

I’m vegan, so pea protein for me. Tastes okay with almond milk. Any plant-based brands that don’t clump up?

Re: Top Beginner Mistakes to Avoid in the Gym! 🚫

Hey NordicGains! I skipped stretching and pulled a muscle. 😬 Now I warm up.
How long should a warm-up be?

Great topic! I do cycling for cardio and bodyweight lifts.
Is 20 min cardio enough to start? Thanks! 🚴
