can i lift everyday or is it better to rest the muscles for a day inbetween workouts?

just came up to check forums from AAA, go for a run to help get the lactic acid out of your muscles and stretch well before and after each workout. Drink lots of water and feel free to lift every day (i would recommend 4 or 5 days a week; lift monday, tuesday, thursday, friday, weekends off, make wed a cardio day or take it off) but try and work out different muscle groups each day e.g. monday- chest, bies and tries, tuesday- shoulders and back.... But def some jogging and stretching before each workout will get the soreness out.

Also I do not recommend crazy drinks like dark matter unless you are really trying to work out hard. A simple low cal protein drink would do well ask someone at GNC they will help you.

I don't think any of us really pay attention to GLB anymore, but I'm bored so I checked these forums for the first time this season.

First, GNC is the devil, they get commission based on selling you certain brands of products and they generally don't have much knowledge so if you don't know exactly what you need, I wouldn't go there.

Kenyon,

Check out bodybuilding.com and the forums. There's a sticky in the Workout Routine forum that will lay out a basics pretty much for you and all you need to do is a choose a particular program. Personally for real basic not looking to be super detailed plans I'm a huge fan of 5x5 or a push/pull routine, some agree some don't but they can both be found with a simple search. (forums are down right now for an upgrade, but once they are) As for what you need to drink/take. Keep it simple a good multivitamin and whey protein, that's all you need to start, not all these crazy/intense drinks people will try to pawn off on you.

most the people i have ran into at GNC are really knowledgeable about the different products for weight training, that may just be the ones i have been to but sure if you do not want to trust them check online.

"Keep it simple a good multivitamin and whey protein, that's all you need to start, not all these crazy/intense drinks people will try to pawn off on you." this is actually what was recommend for me last time I went into a GNC haha

You must have better GNC's than I do. Of course I haven't stepped foot in one since probably '01 so perhaps they've improved. They used to basically be used car salesman types or kids trying to peddle the latest "snakeoil" so to speak. lol

I'm loyal to bb.com for my supplements and have been for years even though I'm not as active as I used to be lifting wise. I've always had great and fast shipping, good prices and having the forums there to double check stuff makes life easier.

cool, thanks for the info guys, i'll check out that bb.com stuff

regardless of who you ran into at GNC, a majority of their employees are morons.

they are still horrible. i went in there recently to grab some bars and they tried selling me some new muscletech product.

i asked if cell tech was any good then left.

I started lifting weights yesterday for the first time in 14 years. I can't move.

What do I do?

It's called doms

Delayed onset of muscle soreness.

It happens when you get back into lifting.

Make sure you have a decent routine.
Focus on your diet.
Try to take in about 20gs of slow acting protein before working out.
40gs of fast acting protein and carbs (40gs of each) after working out.

Check out the bodybuilding.com website that'll help you.

I've gained 1 inch on the guns already,

still sore but the pain pills help that,

eating a lot of chicken,

and drinking a lot of water and beer,

seems to be working so far,

What's your diet like? Just a rough outline of
What you eat.
When you eat it.
When you workout.

lactic acid does not cause soreness, it has been confirmed to be a myth.

watup generel?

watching the foundation crumble.

Nothing wrong with being sore...shouldn't stop you from lifting. I've been sore for 4 months straight now, but hey my deadlift might be at 450 by the end of June, so it's worth it

Oh and a simple protein shake; protein, gatorade, and maybe (plain) creatine after your workout can help with recovery a bit.

Update for DANIMAL:

1 inch gain on the pythons, so I'm happy so far. The way I figure it, I'm rockin the beer gut so if I make my upper body bigger it will offset the gut. Then I have to work the legs so I'm not one of those guys top heavy looking fuckers i see at the gym.

The weight lifters at the gym all use the free weights while I stick to the machines. Does that hold me back any? I've seen the BB.com forum and how you fuckers make fun of the noob's at the gym so I don't want to be that guy asking for someone to spot me, LOL.

Diet: Marboro's for breakfast, chicken for lunch, after work I go lift, then get home and re hydrate with 8 or 9 beers, then at about 10 or 11 pm i eat dinner, usually a Hungry Man meal or something I can microwave.

Seems to be working so far, the pain has lessened or that could be a side affect from having to take vicoden 3 times a day for a totally unrelated matter.

No cardio for me though, I got asthma and can't do that running shit. I tried and some skinny bitch cranked her treadmill up everytime I sped mine up, jsut having to one up me, LOL. Not too fuckin hard really what's the point, I'm 5'5" and weigh 205 lbs, I have lost 10 pounds though, and am not trying, I don't really care about losing weight just want to get bigger,
