ripped muscles rebuilding?

Don't lift while you are healing. I would go read an actual body building forum, and take the advice you get about lifting weights in an audio forum with a grain of salt....

ok ok, to clear it up, i did not just start lifting, i have been doing so for the last 3 years, but picked it back up to start going again.. its the good burn feeling, the good workout feeling, you liftedhard and good and u worked the muscles hard,
now they need their time to rest and heal,

NOW during that resting period, is it a bad idea to work them out hard again while they are in the recovering process?

kinda just a simple question

I know what you meant. Read what I said again. Ive been working out for 2 years and I still get sore. Just dont do the same muscle 2 days in a row.

not even, i just like to lift, but i have never lifted or thought about lifting while a muscle group is rebuilding
and i would have zero results by spring break.. lol if anything some noticeable by summer

you should see what its like in college gyms this time of year. very frustrating:verymad:

You grow outside of the gym, not in it.
Working out is tearing muscle so it regrows bigger and stronger. Give em' some rest (especially if you're possibly hurt)

exactly i know, everything u gain is when u sleep, and rest, having proper nutrition etc bla bla

so it is better to let the muscle group i worked fully rest until its just about to normal feeling, then work it hard again

Food is the most anabolic substance you can put in your body. Eat plenty of lean protein, and get plenty of rest.

Just give it about 2-3 days.

Like, you work it hard monday, work it again thursday.

You shouldnt be sore for more than 2 days for the soreness to go away unless you had neglected the muscle.

i would not work the same muscle group 2 days in a row or with every otherday, maybe 2 times a week if im feeling comfortable and its healed

i know that results dont come in 2 weeks with a lot of hard fast work, but a longer period of hard work being consistent going everyday, constantly changing and pushing different muscle groups

i got the nutrition down, etc 6 small meals, high protien and water

all i know is when i pulled something in my abs it took forever to heal, and hurt like a *****.

stretch it and exercise it very slightly.

ok say i did chest on sunday, i fully worked it out, to where they were dead, monday they hurt a lot, like usual, and feels good to stretch them, and today they still hurt to push em or stretch

i was wondering if i should let them heal completely then light more weight etc, or if its ok to just hop back on it and light with the same rebuilding muscles

what i have been doing is workin them hard them and letting them fully heal, been doing like chest, arms, back, shoulders, legs 1 time a week, and letting them die out and fully heal then keep doing that

i have been doing this for a month or so, but i was just curious if it would be bad to work it out again before it has time to fully heal

i have not ripped or injured any muscle, but work them out hard

You should be most sore 24-48 hours after the workout.

Well, if your feeling sore. And that muscle group is in your rotation that day to be worked, just do a little to stimulate it. You dont have to go all out, just get some blood flow going.

ohh yeah, i got ya.. usually its monday chest, then down the rotation, and on weekends just a general everything, and monday start the hard lifting again

im fine with not fast results, i just want to gain some muscle, strength and patients

 

[timaishu 10+ year member]

I personally dont go by a schedule. I just keep in memory what it is Ive done all week and choose the muscle groups to work like that.

For me, monday could end up being a chest and back day. The next time chest comes up I might decide to do biceps because I did back yesterday etc.

doesnt a soar muscle mean that it's still stressed, and repairing/strengthening?

I dunno where that and lactic acid come together... I know part of soarness is just acid in your muscles...in which case a warm up usually makes it feel better....

I'd say if you're only a little soar, do a warm up lift first, maybe 3x 10 of a lighter weight than usual and see if you loosen up

I actually ripped my muscle a couple years back, completely seperated my pec from my sternum. It rolled up into a ball in my shoulder. I had to have 400 sutchers and they actually went through my nipple to attach it back lol.
