Soreness after working out

Hendricks433 · #1 02-07-2007, 01:49 PM

Ok I wanted to put this in the beginner lifting thread but I only have a min before I leave for class, so I dont have time to find the thread. Anyway I dont really have a spare $30 to drop on protein powder so I dont have a shake after working out but I worked out monday and I did squats, bench and deadlifts and today my hams and glutes are still just slightly sore if I use em. Should I continue with my workout tonight with squats, press, rows? I am a noob to weight lifting, should I get protein powder asap?

You need rest, go at it again on Wednesday. Your muscles are going to be sore any time you start doing something new with them.

Never work out a sore muscle group.

Don't do the same exercise 2 days in a row, but I do find that I'm less sore when I exercise on that 2nd day after.

Get protein powder if you want to add bulk. But if massive bulking isn't your goal just eat some high protein food within 45 mins of working out (eg. fish, meat, cheese, soy etc)

I don't lift as much as I used to but my friend who works out frequently says it is bad to work out a sore muscle group. Just wait a day or 2 and do it again. He said your 'fast-twitch fibers' will not react correctly when they are sore.

I thought he said he was going to work out 2 days in a row while sore but just reread OP and he said "Monday." Agree with Skunk that you should be fine after taking Tuesday off. SKunk, how woud you feel about working out 2 days in a row?
