  • 00:36 its a twin thing

  • This advice also applies to the mushroom tip. Sometimes it is simply overworked. Wait 96 hours before hitting it again and you'll see mass gains in mushroom sauce.

  • @mickeyb1000 what about abs? I do abs 3 times a week.

  • I have noticed i have not been sore lately because i have been working my upperbody too much and have not been resting long enough, i miss been sore so get your sleep and take a day off bitches!

  • @mickeyb1000 i wldnt do this as you are doing arms (triceps) followed by chest.. no rest in between. the second point is you should try to alternate between push and pull excersizes.. like shoulders (push), back (pull), chest (push). the final point is that you are doing arms before shoulders? you use your triceps in your shoulder excersize, so theyll be totally fried and unable to peform optimally when doing shoulders.. i do: chest, legs, back, shoulders + triceps, rest, full body workout, rest

  • To prevent soreness, you should warm up before your workout and cool down and stretch the muscles you've used after the workout.

  • Work all your muscle groups. Whether you do a total body workout or a split routine, make sure you hit all your muscle groups 2-3 times each week, with at least one exercise per muscle group (more if you're more advanced). Change your program. Make sure you change your routine every 4-6 weeks to avoid plateaus

  • Lift enough weight. When strength training, you always want to choose a weight heavy enough that you can only complete the desired number of reps. If you stop at the end of a set and realize you could do more, increase your weight so that the last rep is difficult, but not impossible to complete.

  • Soreness is actually caused by small tears in your muscle fibers, which is how muscles respond when overloaded. Rest and recovery are essential for growing stronger and building lean muscle tissue. If you're sore after every workout, you may need more time to recover or you risk overtraining and injury. So, if soreness doesn't work for measuring effectiveness, how do you know if you're getting a good workout?

  • Soreness (often called Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness or DOMS)is normal if you're a beginner, if you've changed your usual routine or if you're trying new activities. But, that soreness should lessen over time and, if you're sore after every workout, you may need more recovery days or to reduce the intensity of your workouts to allow your body time to adapt and grow stronger

  • im pretty sure 48 hours is enough rest to recover and make the fastest progress, thatz what I've been doing for 2 years and have improved vastly in strength

  • The soreness is caused by eccentric exercise, that is, exercise consisting of eccentric (lengthening) contractions. Isometric (static) exercise causes much less soreness, and concentric (shortening) exercise causes none. so says wikipedia..?
