All right, so I've been developing this pain in my shins after only a few minutes of cardio or a few reps of leg pressing/squats. My gains have flatlined, and are even decreasing, and it's pissing me off. SO what's wrong?

Your shin muscles aren't strong enough.

Have you been increasing the weight weekly or at all?

have you started to do a bunch of up hill stuff, or changed the way you lift? Shin splints are usually one of two things. Irritating the Tibialis anterior, (shin muscle) or sheering the Interoseous membrane in between the Tibia and the Fibula.

First, Rest, ice, compression and Elevation (R.I.C.E) for 15 mins on, 10 off for 2 intervals for 2 days. Properly stretch the shin muscle by walking on your heels with your toes pointed up (dorsiflexion) till you start to feel a burn in the muscle: do it for another 5 seconds. Finally, kneel down and extend your foot so that the instep(top part of your foot) is laying on the ground and lean back a bit.

Also consider proper shoes, as you may be over-ronating and that might be causing the Sheering.

also they can be a sympton of imbalance between your quadriceps and hip extensors, which form an agonist/antagonist pairing. so when you go back make sure your posterior chain is getting enough work.

if you dring coke or those so called "energy drinks" then the chenicals in it are draining the calcium from your bones, either that or you aren't doing enoughresitance training like jumping and jogging.

could be the shoes aren't providing enough support or the heels are too low and dont absorb anything.
