My chest and shoulders have exploded on the mass program. Now my problem is that I am in my 7th week, and I am trying to run as well. I am overweight and I am currently up to a 10 minute run at 5MPH (yes treadmill). But my legs (quads) never seem to recover. They always seem tired. Am I missing something? Doing something wrong? Anyway, after next week, my 8th week, I plan to take 2 weeks off to recover fully. I have not taken off more than 2 days in several months.

This will be nicer to your knees and it wont be that hard for your legs as well. Then maybe you could do 15 mins. Great to know about your gains and happy that you finaly wrote to us!! -------------- - Nina :o) La vie est toujours aussi belle.....

After your 8-week program, you can take a 1 week break instead of 2 if you like. During your break, you can continue with your treadmill (cardio) and ab work. -------------- _Robert_
