Hey guys, what do you do to reduce soreness after lifting, and do you cut a workout if you're too sore?
>>37743871
Go lift again. And take creatine.
Youre sore because youre not ysed to using those muscles. 2-3 weeks and you wont be as sore.
Work through it.
I only cut a workout if something that should be really easy is like an rpe9 and I feel dizzy and feverish

Gotcha. I'm still pretty new so I just try to go around to all of the machines and work every part of my body. Is that a bad idea?
>>37743914
uhhh ya.
>>37743929
well shit
>>37743914
Yes, that is incredibly stupid and not progress-oriented whatsoever.
I'll look at that starting strength setup then.
>>37743871
I used to get massively sore when I first started. Now it happens if I do 20+ rep ranges. Just keep going then you'll get used to it.

I'm a still kind of unsure what I should actually do when I get there. I'm probably gonna stick with the starting strength lineup that's on the board's sticky.

Starting strength is great to shock the nervous system and muscles but then you will need to decide if you want pretty muscles or to look like a fat hulk. In which case body build and diet for pretty muscles, powerlift and eat whatever for huge bulging muscles with no tone.

And it's possible to achieve all of that with just bench presses, deadlifts and so on that only use the bar?
>>37744147
No. But you're a beginner so you need a beginner program. So do one until you can put some weight on the bar then get a new program.

Sounds like a good idea. Thanks.
