| Gilgamesh said: So I just started at the gym Monday (for the first time in a couple years) and I did mostly upper body work outs, shoulder, chest and bicepts. The next day (Tuesday) I did lower body (very intense work out) pretty well everything but the calves and by the end of that I could hardly walk out of the gym. So Wednesday I was really sore on my upper body and my lower body was just getting sore and I took the day off to recover. So Today (Thursday) I was going to go back to the gym to do some more upper body exercises but when I woke up I was even more sore on my upper body (I cant lift my arms up or move them very much at all) and now my lower body is getting really bad, so bad I can hardly walk. So I just wanted to know how long it takes to recover (it's now the third day for my upper body and it's worst then ever) because I wanted to go to the gym today but I can't because I can hardly move and tomorrow will be even a little iffy. Also whats the best way to prevent being so sore the next couple days. And even though I am sore should I go to the gym anyway or let my muscles completely recover (that may take till the end of the weekened). |
