So, I started working out of Monday. I did arms and chest, and I did plyometrics yesterday. Now I can't fully extend my arms, they hurt, my abs hurt, I walk slow as hell because my ass and my thighs hurt. I'm supposed to do Shoulders/Arms today, but I'm not sure if I can. Anyway, is this going to happen after everytime I workout? Because I can't deal with this.

nah. you'll get used to it. You're just suffering from muscle soreness which is a good thing as a dull ache means your muscles are getting stronger. It will prob get worse before it's subsides. Commonly known as DOMS (delayed onset of Muscles Soreness)HaiBai wrote:

Ok good. And yeah, I'm taking supplements and a protein shake after every workout. And that sharp pain is exactly what I feel everywhere.m3thod wrote:

It's when you feel a sharp pain you should immediately stop.
during workout? or the day after?HaiBai wrote:

The sharp pain i am refering to will be a very sudden, sharp, piercing pain (that was not there before) which either means injury or risk of injury. The pain you are feeling now is just muscle soreness. But as ever if you feel you've caused yourself some damage, see the doc asap.HaiBai wrote:

For toneing up, that sort of metabolism ISN'T good. There is no such thing as a "good" or "bad" metabolism. It's just your metabolism; and by the sounds of it, you have a fast one.lxcpikiman wrote:

I think my metabolism is really good cuz I eat a lot of food and I do it while i sit on my computer and never gets up unless I go to my room to lie down and play some console game.

In short: No. You need to do running/cycling to lose weight properly. You could do swimming, which might reduce leg pain.
I bought 2 of these and I can do pretty much every exercise with this comfy ass bench! Quiet expensive though.Zimmer wrote:

I suggest buying both though. Both are pretty cheap and worth the purchase. Unless you want Bowflex shit.
You can get a good set of York dumbells and barbell for under £50.

Don't do it man, just stick to free weights by York or similar, pullup bar.Zimmer wrote:
Irish, that isn't an expensive bench, lulz. That's pretty cheap.
I have the same set of weights, but considering purchasing the Bowflex.
What? Bowflex are free weights... they just save space and time.White-Fusion wrote:

Basically, you need to do strength training, little cardio and take supplements - either weight gainers or protein. Strength training each day for 45 minutes; avoid cardio if you can.
