Like they say no pain no gain jnellie, but be carefull you can over do it and a pull or strain a muscle and it can hurt like hell too just a different pain. I think that if you still hurt after 72 hours the same as you did at the begining you may have pulled or over did it.

I just finished a morning work out that I knoooow I'm gonna regret tomorrow morning..... Ai ai aiii, sore muscles are on their way.

Just drink a lot of water, eat your glutamine and protein and give your body a rest.

Yes, jnellie we cause micro traumas to our muscles by hurting them so they'll grow bigger and stronger.

my calf, and chest are soar, but a bearable saor, u should still eb able to function, just not as "fast", give it a day or 2,a dn it will go away,

Also, be sure to warm up well before, that can help on u not being as soar, as well as i think drink lots of OJ?, that can help as well. (helps in muscle repair)

I love that soreness feeling!!!! I strive to get it each time I go to lift. Do not worry like was said above unless you have really hurt it it should go away in a few days.
