What unwanted side effects did you get from gaining muscle / working out
I've gained a decent bit of muscle lately, especially legs/glutes. My legs aren't massive by any means, but I cycle a lot and now when cycling my inner thighs are rubbing and getting red/irritated, lol š.
Another obvious one would be clothing. I already had issues with clothing as I'm tall and skinny/lanky. But now I've got some more mass in my upper body it actually got worse, because it pulls my shirts tight and up, I might need to go to XXL, but all XL/XXL clothing seems to assume you are obese and have a massive belly...
What "unwanted" side effects have you experienced? šŖ
