Plenty of Glutamine, carbs and protein. And if you got it lying around, some ZMA.

When i first went back to the gym and did bi's I couldn't lift a coke can or straighten my arm for a week. That crap will go away soon it's just annoying cuz you feel like someone slammed the inside of your elbow with a bat and the ligament is tied in a knot.

just getting back into it you have 2 expect that...its not like your muscles sustain that kind of strain during every day activities...it'll take a few weeks for them 2 adapt 2 that kind of workload again. carbs, water, and a multivitamin are what ive found 2 be 3 key ingredients in aiding recovery..especially after lay off when you need em most(jsut hittin legs again now after a 4 month lay off...4 days after squats, i still had trouble getting out of bed this morning)
peace

tank hit the nail on the head...you have to expect it while getting back into it, especially if you jump right back into the same intensity you were at before.

i'd say eat up (carbs and protein!), take some glutamine and rest as much as possible...

and have fun getting back into it...every muscle group is going to kill the first couple times...

it's even worse today than yesterday

**USfighterFC** · 01-26-2004, 09:36 AM

It takes time lobsterman trust me I think we all been through this. It takes a week to a week and a half. It sucks but it'll get better.

**Lobsterman** · 01-26-2004, 09:53 AM

You're new to this, huh?

Take some aleve.. Or better yet, learn to enjoy the pain. If you're doing it right, you're going to be getting this every time you work out.

Also, the first time back is the worst. I'm pretty sure it has to do with muscle memory.
