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.

Tell her a little about yourself, but not too much. Maintain some mystery. Give her something to think about and wonder about when she's at home.

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,

If you still sore back off until your body is 100%!should I wait for the soreness to subside before I do another workout
What happens, IN HER MIND, is that she comes to see you as WORTHLESS simply because she hasn't had to INVEST anything in you in order to get you or to keep you.
You were an interesting diversion while she had nothing else to do. But now that someone a little more valuable has come along, someone who expects her to treat him very well, she'll have no problem at all dropping you or demoting you to lowly "friendship" status.

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.
