Working out when sore

[Adionik]

How much should you work out when you're sore? I'm freaking...aching to the bone here

[FAC3L3SSTOO]

Nevar.

[blksmrf92]

when I am that sore I usually just do some stretching and yoga....

[Netou]

I rest when Im sore.

Nothing better than letting the muscles take a break.

[Kaije]

rest up. you're body is trying to tell you something...

[garryb05srt4]

the only reason you get sore is due to lactic acids building up in your muscles.

you want to work through that. stretching is key.

drinking more watter is another key factor.

think of it like a glass of oj....when you stir it you stirr up all the pulp at the bottom then it settles back down.

same for your muscles....when you dont lift for a while or never excersize then you start, you create micro tears in your muscle fibers along with stiring up abunch of crap in your body, .


just work through it. you will only be sore for a week or so then you wont get sore that often.

Ok, when you're trying to get cut you do a shitload of reps of smaller weights while bulking up is heavier weights...but less of it, right?

normaly ..yes.


you dont have to less reps if and when bulking. buy doing less reps you wont be as strong but you will get bigger.


if you only do heavy weight and less reps you will get big but your strength can decrease.


its not uncommon for a smaller guy to be stronger than a bigger guy # for #.

i do both.

[garryb05srt4]

your body will only put on enough muscle to move the amount of weight that you push on it.

meaning that if you bp 135#s all the time, your body is only gonna put on enough lmm to move that 135#s efficiantly.

that is why you always add weight to each set. to get bigger.

Ah I see. I can't do more than 10x 30lbs or so. After the 3rd set i'm tired LOL. I'm guessing that's where I need to work and go from there, atleast curling wise. God i'm fat

What are your goals? Dont waste your time on curls. Dont forget to change it up everynow and then too. If youre gonna do 3 sets do a set of 12,10,8. Or change your rest period or do 5 sets of 6 just change it up every so often, but list your goals so we can help

and to stay on topic, the bodyn is sore because it hasnt used the muscles to the extent before no reason to take a break, if you lift again you wont be sore the next day

What do you mean by goals? I'm not shooting for a specific weight to lift, just want to get much bigger biceps, cut, etc.

I toned the weight down to do a few more reps but I need to get more equipment. I'm trying to stay on track of doing atleast 50-100 push ups a day.

WTF garry got banned...?

[marakka]

He was banned, got unbanned cause some shit happened and he got scammed. Then he went back to being Gary so he got banned again.

How fast are you doing those pushups? I got 72 in a minute today

Dammit..... sucks he got banned I was going to ask him if he uses anything for joint therapy. Having terrible tennis elbow right now.

[Adionik]

Son of a bitch, in a row? I hit some kind of invisible wall at 48 where my muscles feel like they're going to bust. Haha. I don't feel too bad about it though, the average person can't do 1 push up correctly.
