Painful Muscle Fatigue
Hi all:
I started a new fitness program last week, and on last Friday I started weight training with a personal trainer.
We did mostly chest and ab exercises. The progression went like this:
Flat bench press w/ free weights, 15lbs 20rep
Flat fly press w/free weights. 15lbs, 20rep
Push ups till failure.
Flat bench press w/ free weights, 15lbs 20rep
Flat fly press w/free weights. 15lbs, 20rep
Push ups till failure.
incline military press w/ free weights, 10lbs, 20rep
incline fly press w/ free weights, 10lbs, 20rep
Push ups till failure.
And so on for another set or so.
Here is my question for the TFP: Its now Monday, and I still have painful soreness in both arms, and have been chewing ibuprofen for the last two days. To the point of 'cant bend my arms' type of pain.
I think i way over trained on Friday to feel this bad on Monday. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should to to help alleviate the soreness? (Stretches, massage, basic motions?) Anyone ever been in this position and can give me an estimate on when I'll regain basic motor skills? Thoughts on what to do in the future?
Your help and comments are appreciated!
