    That's a nice car mate! I wish I still had my 64 1/2 mustang, unfortunately lost it due to my parents divorce a few years back.

    Hiya pOO!

    Did you stretch after your workout? If not do a light workout of the same stuff to loosen yourself up.

    I did. I'm not gonna workout now....

    Hmm, that's interesting. Did you push yourself especially hard?

    The pain isn't bad, just very annoying.

  10. #24870
    That's the sign of a good workout.

    Well that's false, but can I reduce the annoyingness of it?

  12. #24872
    Nope. Gotta deal with it unfortunately.

    Hiya pOO!
    Hai DJ!

    That really sucks!
    A friend of mine owns a 69 Mustang Mach 1 with the original 351 Windsor motor. It was his mom's car when she was in high school or something. It's in kinda rough shape but he is slowly restoring it. There are 3 mid-late sixties mustangs really close to my house and there is a guy in Cashmere that owns some Oldsmobile 442's
    I also saw a lime green Plymouth Superbird in Wenatchee a couple months ago.

    Are your muscles sore or in lots of pain? What exercises did you do?

    This is good advice^

    If your muscles are just sore, then that is normal. Were you doing weight lifting or some sort of cardio exercise?

    Well you're all useless! Why don't you cast some magic already

    (I did body weight exercises after a short run)

    Creatine Monohydrate is good for muscle recovery I think. As well as protein and omega-3.

    If you get these kind of pains often then you might want to look into some shower gel with a cooling effect, it could work.

    Okay, that is totally normal. I did chest, tricep, and shoulders yesterday and I will be very sore for 3 days afterwards.
    Things like body weight exercises and weight lifting are controlled trauma. Doing those exercises cause micro tears in your muscles, you are feeling those traumatized muscles healing. Soreness can last from 1-5 days.

    Do not do that same exercise the next day or until your muscles are no longer sore, find other exercise to do until those muscles have healed. If you do that exercise without letting your muscles heal, you could injure yourself. Doing that same exercise or working those same muscles before they are healed will just re-tear those micro tears and you won't make any progress.

    Weight lifting and stuff like that causes your muscle fibers to have micro tears, it's completely normal. Your muscle cells will repair and become bigger and stronger over time. You do not grow any new muscle, they just grow back bigger and stronger.

    I would stay away from Creatine unless you are an athlete or avid gym rat with good knowledge of that stuff. I would also consult a doctor before using it.

    Protein, omega-3, and BCAA's are a good way to go.

    Hai Knslyr!

    Okay thanks for the info pOO! I can't do the exercises until I don't feel sore yet though? I'll probably feel this way for a few days longer than until next workout =/

    Just find exercises that work different muscles groups to fill in the gap until you can do that one again. That's part of the reason why weight lifters have a 'Leg day", "chest and triceps day", and so on. It allows them to work other muscles while they are waiting for other ones to heal. I did chest, triceps, and shoulders yesterday and will be doing forearms, biceps, and back tomorrow. If you do that same exercise the next day while your muscles are sore, you are at a greater risk for injury, you're going to be weaker, and will keep yourself from progressing. Getting plenty of rest and allowing your body to recover is very important.

    When I first started doing ab workouts, it would take me a week before my muscles stopped being sore. I would always wait until my muscles were not sore before I did the exercise again. Because of that, I was able to gain strength, build muscles, and over time my muscles healed quicker, allowing me to do the exercise more frequently. Taking protein and BCAA's after a workout will also help.

    Yeah if i've been off the workout for a bit, it's definitely some growing pains getting back. Changing up your workout fairly often is a good idea as well. Shocking the body as the term goes allows for more muscle growth, even if you feel like you got hit by a train the next day.

    3 months ago, I started working out for the first time since high school (8 years), and it really kicked my butt.
