I've recently started a rather intense weight program after a long break, and now my arms and chest are so sore I can barely move. I know this is normal, but should I wait for the soreness to subside before I do another workout, or continue after 48 hours regardless? Thanks.
"The Kiss of Death Mistake"
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Continue with your workout as per plan. As long as its not the same muscle group... so yeah go ahead and do back, delts, tris.. whatever.. the increased circulation from the lifting will actually help the sore muscles heal faster.
The good news is: you'll never be that sore again, that is of course, assuming you don't quit for more than six weeks again.
peace,

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
Why? He just started a program so his muscles will naturally be sore. I see no reason why he should wait.Originally posted by marqZAL

backing off and waiting allows for growth. working out too soon again just tears them down further.

the whole theory behind working out with weights to gain muscle is to workout and tear muscles down then give them enough time off to fully repair themselves adding growth before tearing them down for the next rest (repair / growth) period. the key here is you gain mass from proper nutrition and rest. you tear down muscle with an intense workout. for growth you need all 3 aspects (teardown, nutrition, repair/grow) for simply toning and losing size you can just keep working out all the time without rest although in addition to toning down you may also develope other problems from overtraining.
