i think i over worked my chest.. pain like shit.. omg i cant even take it.. i even took a tablet of pain killer =.=

Are you serious? I have never pain until have to take medicine to overtake the pain.

embrace it?

even moving my hands!! pain!! noooooooooooooooo

be a man, take the pain as ur medicine

Here's a strong hint. Food = repairs muscles, aids soreness. Make sure your PWO shake had enough macros and you eat properly post post workout.

I always encounter with muscle pain but after i drink 1 scoop of whey protein within 10 minutes after workout, the pain goes away!

stop working out immediately for temporary or else u risk injuring urself permanently.Get more water and rest.Carbs and proteins.REst as early as u can,at best 10pm.Wake up early.

Lol. Most of you guys are overzealous in your diagnosis. First, pain is relative. There's a difference between real injury and DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) due to lactic acid build up.
It depends on a multitude of factors guys, whether your nutrition is sufficient enough to boost recovery, especially post workout and post post workout.

I used to have major soreness (DOMS) at my major muscle groups after workout, that was when I first started weight lifting la... On the day itself usually is fine, no problem... the sore/pain only will come on the next day and it's killing me

but after 1 or 2 months regular working out, no more pain/soreness lor

Cos your body has adapted to it. I used to have reservations abotu squatting 3 tiems a week when i started the madcow program but it's not that bad. My squats are actually getting better, but plateauing at 310lbs cos of some lower back issues. I'm gonna stop deadlifting fo a few weeks.

dude.. i think u're better off using the dual-factor training instead.. as u've been training a long 8-9 years.. u're a very seasoned lifter.. so i think that would suit u better.. at your poundages.. that kind of volume would kill u i think..

pls consider it.. deload for 2 weeks and start the DF 5x5 man..

true that..

yeah. u had to do regular weight lifting to get rid of muscle pain, if u just started it, it will take a toll on you but once u do it regularly, it will be nothing

You know, sometimes i wonder about that. There's a school of thought saying if your muscle adapts too much, there's no more growth stimulation and periodization or a new stimulus is required.

Then another group says new stimuli is in the form of poundage progression. Bigger weights = more hypertrophy.

i dono what ingredient to put in my PWO shake.. can tel me few

i take eggs and tunas with some coselaw dressing after work out.. then eat dinenr after that..

Whey, honey, even oats & maltodextrin mixed with water for postworkout. You need lots of carbs. Stay away from fats, even healthy fats like fish oil, etc because they slow down absorption of protein.
The fat in milk is still hotly debated, some argue that the sugars in milk get the anabolic cascade running faster but others disagree due to milk fats. Up to you here.

ehehe....one crazy capo session on tuesday meant that my arms and legs were wobbling most of wednesday. Then deep aches in most of my major muscles for the rest of the week. Counterpain or muscle rub helps to lessen the pain, but you'll just be delaying it. It's perfectly normal to ache, but actual piercing pain is another matter.

where to buy whey? supermarket? and wats maltodextrin
