Drink a Whey shake post workout or eat a good source of protein within 45 minutes of your workout. Post workout, the muscles are like sponges. Also, rest until the soreness is gone. Visit www.bodybuilding.com if you want some help with a good program.

Bro Science overload.

Just deal with it. No pain no gain.

So another session while being sore is a bad idea? Was I correct in assuming I'll easily hurt something?

Just train a different body part/muscle group. The only way you'd hurt yourself id if your form is wrong on some movements due to the pain.

Just man up and go lift.

Agree!

I doubt you'll hurt anything, you just wont be able to go as hard as you would if the muscle was not stiff or sore.

You only really hurt something if you lift wrong without proper technique.

Bro science? He is NEW TO LIFTING and has not exercised in 6 years. Jesus. Stop being retarded. Agreed, rest the sore muscles and rather work on something else. Recovery is also sped up by protein. It's not "bro science", but based on real science.

Bigboy, follow a proper program, and you will see amazing results with reduced risk of injury. The programs on the site I linked take out all the hard work (the thinking and guesswork) and make the whole journey a lot easier.

He will see zero difference in gulping down some whey exactly 44 minutes and 30 seconds after training or just hitting his macros throughout the day. Until he's competition ready and about to step on stage at 5% BF he really doesn't need to stress about meal timing and getting his whey shake in on time ;)

Finally, another important factor to consider is the timing of this meal. It is absolutely crucial that you consume your post-workout meal immediately after exercise. As indicated above, after exercise, the muscles are depleted and require an abundance of protein and carbohydrate. In addition, during this time, the muscles are biochemically "primed" for nutrient uptake.

This phenomenon is commonly known as the "window of opportunity". Over the course of the recovery period, this window gradually closes and by failing to eat immediately after exercise, you diminish your chances of promoting full recovery. To illustrate how quickly this window closes, research has shown that consuming a post-exercise meal immediately after working out is superior to consuming one only 1 hour later.

So I train for up to 2 hours a day - spiking up to 5 on the weekends. I have one rest day a month and a 4 day taper (reduced intensity training) before assessments. I need my body to repair quickly. To accelerate the repair process, endurance athletes take post recovery nutrition very seriously, and is backed by research. A post whey shake combined with a carb speeds up this recovery. Bigboy asked how to speed up recovery - and post workout nutrition can aid in this.

Being a overweight bugger I started exercising a couple of weeks ago. For now some light jogging and then mostly exercises using my own body weight, crunshes, pushups, squats etc etc, keep in mind I did very little physical activity for at least 6 years before this.
My question, what can I do to ease the mustle sorness and stiffness after a session? I for example did arm and chest exercises on Tuesday, yesterday my arms was a little stiff and sore, but today my biceps and triceps are killing me up to the point where it's quite a mission to make certain movements, making my arms completely straight for example.
I'm going for another session this afternoon and though I won't really do biceps or triceps per say, I'm scared of hurting myself because most other things involve your arms to a certain extent.

Take whey protein immediately after your workout. They usually contain L-Glutamine which assists in muscle recovery. If you want to, buy an additional tub of Glutamine and add an extra scoop to your shake.

Once your body gets over the shock over time, it will get substantially better. To the point where the soreness feels kinda good. Promise. Just keep at it.

What you're experiencing is normal but ease into it - take an extra rest day if it helps. In the long run you have to push through it but you can mitigate it with good stretching afterwards and cardio - aerobic exercise is the best way to get rid of the soreness and lactic acid. I think there are two things at play here - the stiffness and the soreness. The stiffness will get better, rest assured. The key is to keep it up but be prepared to ease into it for the first week or two... don't kill yourself the first few workouts. Remember, it's about long term health.

Came across bicep tears video , didn't realize you could tear it so easily.

Bicep tears happen because the muscle is stronger than the joint that they're attached to. This can be easily prevented through flexibility training i.e. training the joint first before training the muscle. It's a training principle that most people don't adhere to because everyone just wants big muscles.

Do you stretch after your workout? Stretching helps to alleviate muscle soreness - not saying that you won't be sore, but you won't be as sore. I never realised the benefits until yesterday. My body was aching after a particularly heavy workout the previous day, so I stretched every muscle group; felt so much better afterwards and the aches were gone.

Also, do you take a protein shake after a workout as recovery is important? And alkalis ingredients salts can help to remove lactic acid build up from the muscles - available in health stores.
 
What are you guys paying for gym at VA?

My gf is getting a quote for 550/pm and then she can only gym from 8-4. They first wanted to charge her a 1700 rand joining fee.

That's an absolute joke tbh.
