If it hurts its working. Let yourself heal and do it again, the pain will slowly become less and less

I feel this is half true. Don't wait to heal... Continue each workout as scheduled and work thru any remaining pains once you have returned to a workout day including the sore muscle.

Example: chest hurts tuesday from Monday workout, if still sore following Monday, go again.

Sometimes I get most DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) 2 days after I hit a group hard. I won't baby it, I still do whatever it is I need to do.

On a side note, I heard eating a banana immediately after lifting, you'll never get soreness. Someone told me it's because potassium fights lactic acid... Smells fishy but maybe someone can clarify. Also stretching after a good lift may help

Good luck

You know what I mean lol just don't over train

I agree with both the above. The soarness is a good thing, means you ripped the muscles. rip n repair is how they grow. Dont overtrain by stressing the same muscle twice in the same week. Set up a workout schedule that allows you to hit your whole body over the course of a week, by having a specific day for a specific muscle group so that your not hitting chest on monday and then again wednsday, thats no good. But if the whole week has passed since "say" you hit chest, and it is still sore, then id push through it and work it out anyway. Some guys who are really into hitting the gym 5-6 days wk and have been for a long time find that after a while it is hard to get themselves sore again. Thats when we gotta start figuring out different excersises for out muscle groups in order to get that soarness again. As far as easing the pain, i dont really think theres anything you can about that, just grin n bear it, suck it up, it means you had a good workout

Sure you can. Not here in the spa though. We have a forum for that. It's labeled body "lifting tecniques and workout questions"
post it up and maybe some of the pros can offer some better suggestions for whatever goals you are trying achieve...Good luck
