chest soreness

it's a good sign....it also tells you to avoid training muscles that you used in chest workout...so that training shoulders or triceps after chest is not a good idea....instead try to work other body parts not directly involved in chest workouts, back, biceps, legs...

just drink a Post-workout shake with 2:1 ratio of simple carbs(dextrose/sucrose) to protein(something like 60-30)...

you can try to take L-Carnitine for muscle soreness if it's bad enough...it helps cut soreness by as much as 40%

I've just gotten some dumbells to vary my work out. I can already tell a difference i my shoulders. I've got a question though. After working my chest I am getting really sore. It isn't injury soreness just work soreness. I figure that I am just working more intensely and differently than was with just free weight bar. Is the soreness a good sign that I am breaking down muscle fiber? Does it indicate I need to increase anything in my diet?
