now i remember why i HATED working out in the beggining

[bert89coupe]

i can't move shit, AND i have a damn wisdem tooth coming in and my mouth is all sore and swollen :mad:

i can't eat right and i can't wait to go and drive my car and push in the damn clutch pedal over and over and over.

Yep, it'll take about a week or so to get over the first
time back.

Try doing some cardio (ie: bike) for about 20 minutes
before lifting to get the blood flowing and loosen up.
Just walking in and starting to lift without warming
up will cause soreness.

i did, well i rode the bike for about 5min.

Do something when you're done lifting also, so your muscles don't go from intense load to complete rest.

Grin and bear it, that soreness is your just your wool pullin' capabilities increasing.

I go 20 minutes and pop a good sweat before hitting
the iron. You want to get the heart rate up.

Tex and his wool..... :rolleyes: :D

stretching before and after makes a big difference.

But that sore feeling is always a nice reminder of the work you've done!

:) I personally don't mind it so.

I lifted chest on Wed. Know how I know it was a good workout?? I'm still sore.

I like the soreness as long as I can still move. I also like it after a workout when it is a struggle to raise a water bottle all the way to my mouth :D for a drink...
