Working Out When Sore

[iGoHard]

I always alternate between these 2 days, day 1 is just arms & chest and day 2 is abs & legs. So i get 48 hours rest for each body part. If my body is still feeling a bit sore 2 days after should i still workout or not?

[Naruto]

how are u fitting arms and chest into 1 day lol?

a whole session on shoulders
a whole session on chest and tris
a whole session on back
a whole session on bis

spend about an hour per session

how do u do it?

[Antonio7]

Do chest and arms on seperate days

[Shanger]

arms having their own day is ridiculous

do biceps with back

triceps with chest/shoulders

[Naruto]

shoulders should be done by themselves imo

chest + tris 1 day

biceps 1 day too imo

[Mr. Jefferies]

I'm with Shanger

A whole day for biceps is a joke tbh. Back with biceps and triceps with chest is what I do/did.

If your muscles are sore, they are still repairing from your last workout, so you shouldn't work them, no.

EDIT - Actually I'm speaking with a friend now and he says he trains when they're sore, so I could be wrong on that. But I've always just left it until they are completely not sore.

If you're making gains carry on I guess.

[Shanger]

most back exercises involve biceps makes sense to do them on same day
i do it like

chest/tris
back/bicep
legs
shoulders

shoulder pressin movements use triceps to its like they got 2 days almost

Do less exercises, heavier weights + lots of food = build mass

back/bicep day

pull-ups
hyperextensions
dumbell rows
dumbell curls
(lat pull down after pull ups if u wana go mad)
all 3 sets ^, increase weight and/or sets/reps each week = gains

all the rowing and pull down movements u do involve biceps, makes sense to have them on bicep day

[Mr. Jefferies]

Does anyone here train when they are still sore? I've always thought it's best to leave it. I never get doms for longer than two or three days anyway but when I've just started again I've had it for four or five days especially in my legs and I've never trained when I'm still sore.

and the moment nar cos i hit most bodyparts once a week by which time they recover

but ive ran strength programmes tht called for doing certain exercises (bench, squat etc) 3-4 times a week, trained sore then, n made gains

[Antonio7]

i do as heavy as i can already lol..

doing less exercises, you got more energy to lift heavier.....

[iGoHard]

Lol after reading all these replies my workout is fucking shit :laugh: I do dumbbell curls, shoulder press, chest press & sit-ups and call it a day loool. then the next day i do squats with weight for like 10 mins.
I need a proper routine that i can do with just dumbbells for now tbh, i plan on joining the gym maybe next month

[Rambo]

chest and bis
back
rest
shoulders and tris
legs
rest

simple

Naruto

if you want big arms concentrate on tris, do heavy exercises like close gip bench press for tris

[iKlozzle]

I used to do

Back/Biceps
Chest/Triceps
Legs/Abs
Shoulders

But people have their different routines.

[Willy]

i do as heavy as i can already lol..

lol

you can't be doing the most that you can lift if you are doing all those workouts in 1 session

you're clearly doing weights that you are comfortable with

Depends on which body part is sore

if it's any part of your arms then once you get through the first set, you should be ok tbh

if it's your back or shoulders then best to just leave it, you will injure yourself lol

[Boris Bowser]

I've been doing the Dorian Yates Blood and Guts for the past few weeks.

My chest and biceps are sore throughout the week lol

[John Travolta]

DY blood and guts is the best sort of training you can do naturally as it's not about volume what so ever, it really doesn't take much to train past the point of it not being beneficial when you are natural.
