This only happens to me if I haven't worked out for a while. I'm no medical expert but i've alwaysbeen told to stretch and work out to get rid of the soreness.
If you are sore work out a diffrent muscle,but if your whole body is sore you should take a day off or else you will hurt yourself.After a couple weeks you wont get sore any more
Wait at least a day, dont work out if yer really sore, Because yer muscles are still healing, the next day do another part, i switch off everday doing different routines
Only when I get a good workout, just strech, yes, it hurts when you do it the day after. But I just stretch and it feels good, nice to know all you are working out and keeping fit:thumbsup:
Thanks for the advice every1 :) i appriciate it
fromw hat i've heard (from reputable sources) is you should work out like 5 days outta the week, and do nothing the other 2... it's supposed to like shock your muscles into growing better.
your muscles will be sore if they're not used to physical activity...first few days I started lifting weights it was difficult to lift my arms..but now, after a month and a half or so, no soreness the day after.
agreed
for the last 5 months or so all i have been doing is sitting/laying around and watching tv
yesterday i bought my boy alex a whistle and made him my personal trainer/coach an he put me thru a hard ass work out every time i missed a shot i ran a suicide, did 50 sit-ups(full ones no crunches) or 25 pushups
and for the record im 5'6" an weigh about 100 lbs my arms are about the same size around as my penis (down by my wrist they literally are)
my body now feels like its on fire and my abs are probably bleeding on the inside(hehehe)
You should expect a degree of soreness when you start working out again. In time you'll get use to the weights. But resting muscles is a key component to growth.
Yea, you should partition your workouts to ensure proper rest, doing upper body one day, lower body the next.
If you wanna be really serious, you can cycle it even further like this:
biceps/triceps
chest/lats.
deltoids/traps.
quads/hamstrings/glutes/calfs.
and repeat
throw in a few ab workouts there. Once or twice a week, don't work-out at all, and do some running instead.
The formula is really simple. Work out. Eat. Sleep. Repeat.
Jeen no one wants to know that your skinny ass arms are as wide as your dick thats sick dude
I kind of like when I wake up the next morning and I hurt. Then I know its working.
i have done body building for many years, if you train you MUST take protien supplement, it breaks down in your body and makes amino acids what is used to repair muscle tissue. You can increase your proties from foods such as chicks, fish, turky, red meat. you can also get BCAA`s brnched chain of amino acids these are a faster acting then protien.
For best results work 2 body parts a day if doing a 5 day a week program,this gives the parts rest and ur always training so back and biceps one day , chest and triceps then next ,upper legs , then lower legs and abbs and 1 day i usually throw in a cardio session. You can also suplement creatine what will increase ur strengh. A muscle trained will repair itself within around 24 hours with the right nutrition, even though its sore u can still work it as long as you wwarm it up and stretch it out
How many steroids do you pump into your body?

lol i could snap your shit so easy... my arms are skinny as fuck... i'm weak as fuck in my upper body.. but my wrists are still like 3x my dick.. o.0 my wifes are atleast 2x... and she has small ass hands/feet.. her ankles and wrists are small as fuck....Quote:

don't get me wrong, what i lack in arms i make up for in legs... i rode bikes my whoel life... that's all i ever did... bikes bikes bikes.. off road, on road, cross city and everything in between lol... i can put ALOT of people in an unescapeable leglock(you gotta have a strong upper body for it to not work) some sheer power in your uppper body to pry yourself out... otherwise, you're locked... like hwo people talk about lockjaw on a pitbull, that's what my legs can do... i can literally squeeeze the breath outta people with 'em.. just by wrapping them around your chest... (not throat, thraot is easy, but to squeeze and keep the air out of someone by putting pressure on the chest, well it takes quite a bit of power)
on a funny side note.. picture these legs (>.< lmao.. they're huge.. and it is irritating you know how hard it is to find pants or boxers that aren't cutting off circulation??) but i kick and flail in my sleep... i had a friend staying the night... and i kicked him in the nuts... lol... i was asleep... and kicked him full force (the only reason we know it's full force.. cuz he's been kicked by me before, just not in the nuts)....
the story as he tells it is... he woke up in severe pain and said "oww somehting bit me!" (he has a really redneck accent which made it funnier) looked down and saw my leg between his nuts.... (nothin freaky so don't turn it that way lmao) and slapped me in the fucking head as hard as he could... i never woke up o.0 yeah i was kinda fucked up that night.
Usually when I start lifting after I havent for a while I just lift barley enough to challenge me so I'm working my muscles but not trying to build them, then after a week of that I go into heavier weights to build more. Also when my muscles are sore getting good and baked and taking a hot shower or bath helps...:rastasmoke:
Just lay off the juice, shit kills the liver and everything else...Seen many a muscle head juice up and act tough, only to walk into a street hardened tough guy and get dropped with one shot...bang and down,,,,roids were of no help here...
Nobody's considered the possibility that he just has a really big dick instead of really small wrists? Umm..
Sorry, don't got much to say about working out, you'll get used to it and you'll stop hurting eventually.. Recently I've been working out 1 day, resting for 1 day. I find it's not to intense but it's enough :)
Didn't bother reading the other responses so if this has already been said I apologize but take my word for it because I am currently a student studying physical therapy.
The short answer is.. do not work out sore muscles. Contrary to popular belief your muscles grow outside of the gym. The soreness you experience is the result of tearing the muscle fibers of a particular group of muscles. Once torn, or post work out, your muscles begin to repair and build themselves back up stronger. If you work out muscles that are already torn you are not giving yourself enough time to repair. This soreness, however, does not prohibit you from working out a different group of muscles. This fact justifies the work out "splits" that many exercise enthusiast plan their work outs around. Basically, you split your weekly workouts into different body parts for different days leaving adequate repair time. I personally work back/chest one day, biceps/triceps another day, and shoulders/traps/legs to finish my split.
Okay I'm done.
You shouldn't work out sore muscles I don't think. It takes some time to get your muscles into action, so instead of doing that work out the day before and then it having it not go to use, if you're sore, lift very light weights until your muscles start to feel better. Working out sore arms with the same weight that got them sore will just strain them.
If they're sore though, you know they got a workout.
So I would lighten up on the weight for now. Let your muscles go back to normal, and next time, lighten up on the weight so it isn't such a strain the next day. You have to start low to build your muscles up. Starting heavy right off the bat can strain your muscles big time.
I once worked with a kid who tore a tendon in his wrist from lifting too much at first. Start light, then build. Crawl before you walk. :)
Say No To Steroids.....
I'm 17, nearly 18 and been "weight training" for nearly 2 years.Quote:

Soreness in terms of weight training I guess can happen frequently when you've torn your muscle fibres to the point where you are promoting your body to repair (strengthening and building upon that muscle - making it bigger). - THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT!
When you flex and contract that muscle, does it hurt? When you poke it in a relaxed state, does it feel tender? That's muscle soreness, and is generally a good thing in most cases and should last around 48-72 hours (2-3 days).
As you train more and more, you adapt to the resistance and your muscles won't feel as sore anymore after a workout or not even seem evidently sore at all. Don't worry, as soreness doesn't always imply growth.
Generally, most people say, 'when you're sore, do more.', 'no pain. no gain', but these aren't true... If you have incorporated a good routine split, you should have it worked out that you train each muscle group once a week throughout 4 sessions. E.g. Back & Bis, Chest & Tris... Because you are indirectly training your tris when you do your chest (bench press etc.) - all pressing movements indirectly train the tricep etc.
I guess you wouldn't have asked this question if you had a good enough routine, so if you need help in that department i'd be more than happy to set you up with a training program - just let me know what equipment you have access to, or if you go to the gym and how many days you wish to train per week... I'd personally prefer 4, and no more than that. lol, just figured i'd also I guess need to know your weight stats etc. too to see what bodytype you are.
But yeah, soreness is good, you can adapt (change of routine, resistance (weight) can promote soreness again), if you're not sore it doesn't always mean you didn't work out that muscle as aptly as you could of.
YOU CAN WORKOUT STILL, JUST NOT DIRECTLY TRAINING THAT MUSCLE GROUP AGAIN, avoid overtraining :wtf:
Also, are you on any specific diet? This is the most overlooked and important principle of training...
Good advice sharpestoner, throwing some at a punch bag for a while is just as good for you as running, skipping rope, whatever.. If you include that in your workl-out you'll burn alot of fat aswell as build alot of muscle. :)
