hey guys, I don't know whether this is the correct thread to ask.

but I'm working out now, and after workout, I usually have this pain in the area that I'm building muscle on, and that's normal. But I'm taking a lot of time to recover and that's hindering my progress. Usually after workout, I will need 4-5days to recover from the pain, and I just skip the session. sad.gif

I try to consume protein, but I don't really know the exact amount of protein needed for me. I'm 172cm, 65kg.

Currently I've been eating half boiled eggs 4-6/day (2 yolks/day), been drinking fresh milk 1 litre/2 days. is that enough? or I need more protein?

That is called DOMS. Truth to be told, the muscle fibres need to be torn first before it is being make into a tougher and bigger muscle. Hence working out is the 'torning/breakdown' process, resting is the recovery process. You need to do this both to ensure that your muscle grow big effectively.

About the protein part, yes. Your protein consumption is very low. At your weight which is 150lbs, you need at least 150g of protein (1g per 1 lbs body weight). That is the rule of thumb. If you don't provide your muscle with sufficient protein, there is no raw sources that your body can use to help repairing the muscles.

Hope this help.

I felt like cheating when I was waiting for my muscle to recover as I skipped the sessions sad.gif
Originally I wanted to come everyday, and when I first worked out, I found out that I couldn't possibly do that.
So I'm expecting 3 days/week, also cannot. sigh

Thanks man. I have another Q though.
The protein consumption of 150g of protein is for everyday is it?

A typical normal split routine would involve you hitting a body part once a week. 4 to 5 days to recover sounds fairly routine. Why wouldnt you be able to hit the gym more than 3 times a week? Youve got trainees hitting the gym 5 times a week with no problems?

Last time i did my chest, so the pain is bearable and it doesnt hold me back as te pain got nothing to do with my movement
Then when I did my biceps, I cant straighten my arm for whole week. Very difficult to drive, and doing work so I thought if I cant move, for sure wont be able to lift any weight sad.gif
Actually I do know someone who went to gym everyday lifting weights.
Damn hardcore liao
