took a week off just to let my body fully catch up w/ healing, especially w/ the long weekend we had. went back to the gym last night for some serious intenseness. my shoulders, biceps, forearms and legs are all quite sore. but i love this feeling


hows everyone else doin?

 

played an intense game of ultimate frisbee the other day after not running/working out for a while. I'm feeling great A few of the people were sore though

 

I've been sick for a week, haven't worked out because everytime I try, I start to cough :hs:

 

I'm taking a 3 credit fitness class this semester at my college. 2 days of cardio and two days of strength training each week. Today is our first weight workout.... I haven't lifted in 3 years so this is gonna hurt...

 

hey man, thats awesome. and dont worry, the pain is natural, just so long as youve got correct form and you dont end up slowly killing yourself keep at it :goodjob:

 

Ya, I know correct form, I just have to get used to it again. I took weight training my entire senior year of high school and thankfully, my coach there knew what he was doing. At the time i was 133lbs and could deadlift 350lbs, squat 255, leg press 430 and bench 155. Happily my body responds really well to working out. I don't get big, but i tone and get strong really quick. Just gotta make sure I keep eating right. I'll def post here as part of the workout crew now

werd. welcome to the Crew :thumbup:

how tall are you? and what year in college?

 

I just started back at the gym a few days ago...So far I have done legs, chest and back....so yeah all those are pretty sore right now. My ankle is also sore because I got stung by a hornet or wasp or something yesterday....but it's been over 24 hours and it's till sore...wtf?

 

I'm 5'9" and about 160lbs now and in my 4th year of college. I've had a rough educational path since high school so I'll be getting my AA in a little over a year and then my BA about a year or two after that probably.
