whenever i work out, the day after my muscles are pretty sore... i mean, they hurt when i contract'em, like when i seat down my gluteus and my thighs, or when i flex the delts or the triceps, they hurt... just a bit, not real pain. the hurtin' feelin' is not bad enough that i can't train, but i'm not sure if i should, anyway... what do u think
Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
that is your body telling you to slow down. it takes time to reccover from a workout. give yourself time to heal from the workout. you grow when you rest and you must give your body a chance to recover or you will never grow and get stronger. it aint how often nor is it number of sets but the intensity of the set or more importantly the intensity of the rep. but rest dangit

Always allow yourself 48 hrs of recovery time between workouts. Why dont you try a m-w-f or tu-th-sa routine?? What I'm trying to say is work out every other day instead of everyday for better gains.
Did you just start working out?
If you did, its probably just natural soreness.
If youve been training a long time and this has never happened before, then I dont know, haha. I would just suggest take it alittle easier, but Im not expert.

as i said, it's not a real pain, it's just soreness... i even like it, because i feel it just when i flex the muscles, when i sit (regarding the glutes and the thighs) and when i extend my arms (regarding delts, pecs and lats)... it's nothing i would worry about, but i'd like to know if it's good to workout or not... thanks!

im not sure i get it. you say you talk about being sore, but your subject line was about being tired...
i'm sorry, i'm not an english talker, so i can't express my ideas really well. anyway, i meant that my muscles were tired... like when u have had a cross country race and the day after, you wake up and u feel all your muscles a bit sore, not hurt, but just sore

oh ok 
sorry about that. I wasnt criticizing you at all, I just wasnt sure what information you needed.
DrSquat said what i would have, so i support his response fully. let your body rest and recover. its in recovery that you make your gains

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

As I understood it, you're pretty new to working out. That's why you're feeling all sore. It might pay to just slow down a little bit, and ease your way into your lifting. Won't take you much longer, and you won't have to miss workouts because of soreness.
And I disagree with nightwing. You don't "always" have to give yourself 48 hours to rest. In general it's not bad advice, but there are many situations where it isn't a strict requirement.

I agree with de silva, rest is the best recommendation for recovery.
the problem is... when i bench press, i'm barely lifting my exact weight (that is 60 kgs, 130 lbs), when i'm really fit... sometimes i don't even get to 50kgs... and when i squat, it's even worse. and it's not that i'm weak, my upper body is actually pretty nice and cut. so, considering that i'm not doing big work, should i rest when i feel sore?
p.s.: i lift at home and i don't want to get blocked by the weights, that's also why i don't lift big weights... i think it's a psychological problem
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I have messed around in the wieght room for the last few years. Working out, or playing sports allows me to feel great. The thing is that I have found that the only way to really make improvement is to stay on a program (preferably designed by a trainer) because most of the time I just did whatever "I felt like"---basically wasting my time. Last summer I got a program designed for me, and for the first time ever I saw myself getting bigger and stronger, even though I was tired after the workouts I felt untouchable, it was really great. My program was designed by Josh Bryant, who is a world record holder, and I would highly suggest checking out his site, because if you tell him what you want, and do what he tells you, you can be anything you want. For more on Josh check out his site http://joshstrength.com/test/index.htm he did it for me, get a program because you will get results! He also has info on bench/squatting/deadlifting/nutrition/plyometrics/supplements etc and his own forum.
