@Itz Scørpion same but i also feel like i have a fever cuz i wokup feeling like vomting an nauseous wht do ido also my kneww kinda hurts if i squat i do weight training 5 times a week its been 3 weeks
@Itz Scørpion can I get advice please I worked out my arms for the first time I’m skinny and after that my joints where sore my muscles not so much but my muscles where when working in my biceps with dumbbells and I injured? It’s been 2 days now
Personally, I feel like when I work out while sore, the feeling actually goes down rather than it worsening. Even so, I still prefer to work out different muscles on different days, because even if I don't mind the soreness, I don't want to over exert myself to the point where I don't give the muscles a chance to recover and build up.
That last part of your statement is why I'm hesitant to workout while sore. I want my muscles to recover and build up first, even it takes 4 or 5 days. After a few weeks, they aren't sore after a workout anymore, so I'm rather going that route, even if it takes a bit longer to get into a perfect schedule.
@@DerMichael - Finally, the first smart response... Yes, "sore" is the body's way of saying something is wrong; if it's joints (like arthritis, etc) then physical therapy (light workout) can help; if it's muscles, they're stressed and trying to rebuild and MAYBE (only with light pain!) a little careful light stretching (very light workout, very low weights) can help alleviate the pain, but at the risk of messing-up the rebuilding; not worth it, in my book... One extra day (or two) isn't gonna hurt, but NOT waiting certainly can... (Muscle Maniacs need therapy, and I'm not talking "physical", lol) ... >;]
It’s my legs for me, just went outside sprinting for around 3 hours straight, with tiny 1 minute to 5 minute breaks for like 6 days by now, except today. I pushed my legs while they were already sore, and today my legs totally shut down when I rested.
If you're too sore, try a form of active recovery. This is basically light exercise to get blood flow around body, nothing too strenuous. It can actually have the potential to aid recovery and make you feel better.
@@daniela_mb you could do a yoga stretching type video that will help stretch out those muscles,while still being active and easy on the muscles 😊.Also a massage gun or trying supplements such as creatine or a protein powder.
You probably already know, but for those that don't. If you have sore biceps from working them out, then on the next day, you have do 25% or less weight of the same exercise just to get blood pumping to that area. More blood in the sore region will lead to faster recovery. So it if I got sore using 25 lb dumbbells doing bicep curls, then the next day, I could curl around 5 lbs to allow blood to flow to the area
working out while sore is pain, but from years of experience, know that the pain will subside on the next workout once you keep up. I always loved the feeling of being sore, cause it told me I was effective at giving it my all in the gym the previous day
Hmm, im still unsure... Last time I worked out while sore I tore a chest muscle and basically had to quit upper body workouts for a month. However it was only my 8th workout session, I was only about 3 weeks in so maybe that had something to do with it. Im not sure, either way im kinda afraid to workout when sore now. Any advice?
@@noahh6032you can work out if you're mildly sore, the pain will actually go away after the first set or two; if the soreness is pretty high, best to chill that muscle and do something else (machines for other muscles are the safest choice then)
This is my first time ever strength training and OMG! My muscles are so sore! It hurts to move or even sit down. Today is my rest day and I go back tomorrow was afraid I wasn't suppose to bc I want to and I'm still going to do something at home today. This video helped a lot not to worry about working out while sore. I'ma just keep it easy tomorrow. I do legs everytime I go and I'm dying! Ima do the bicycle instead of the stairs tomorrow for my warm up.
Personally I never workout when sore, I just listen to my body and rest. In my opinion If it hurts, its a signal to ask you to stop. And in some cases the soreness is so strong that you feel weak and some limbs feel so heavy and difficult to move that you’re unable to workout normally anyway. Feeling the soreness in an other hand makes me happy cause it tells me that my workout is effective and I feel like resting is a good reward after a good workout. That’s my point of view and my way.
You can, BUT there is no point because if you have muscle soreness that means the microtears in them are still healing so you wont get any extra growth by destroying them any more. Heres a tip: if a certain muscle group is sore, then skip to a different muscle group.
John Steinbeck exactly. I believe your muscles get stronger during the resting period. Like you said those micro years are still healing so why tear them up even more. I never understand why people torture their bodies by going to the gym every day lol. I recently started going again and I notice changes in my body while I'm resting
@@miguelrobb5719 when you go to the gym you shouldnt be working out the same muscle groups everyday. I may have a sore chest and triceps but that doesnt mean I cant work on biceps and back, or legs and core the day after.
@@miguelrobb5719 that's how I used to do it but I've seen much more results since switching to push pull splits, but whatever works for you brother just keep grinding
Well to be perfectly honest. In my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view. By also looking into this matter from a different perspective and without being condemned by anyone’s views and by trying to make it objectified and by considering each and every person’s valid opinion. I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say.
As my personal experience I recommend to let the soreness heal before working out again. Soreness effects beginners the hardest. After 2~5 cycles you should not feel as sore and will recover much faster with will allow you to workout more often. Another thing that is similar to soreness but isn't painful is muscle fatigue. Basically you feel like your muscle is tired. It also takes 2~3 days to recover and if you are feeling it I also recommend a full recovery before working out again. My believe is that feeling bad is the worst motivator.
I train full body so no. My central nervous system need the rest anyways. FBW's are very draining. Edit: I'm sorry. I realize now I left out a crucial detail. When I did splits I would always train a different body part the next day.
rafael matos When I really hit the groove I train once every other day(Not for long). But now it’s sometimes every 3 days. I do occasionally manage to recover quicker. But everything has to be on point with sleep, food, and stress, etc.
@@momatotsosrorudodi The problem is that you don't train enough. I train twice a day and I'm usually only slightly tight in some areas. Your body will adapt to the stress.
Great to see you back brother! I workout when the soreness is mild. Severe soreness, I just rest up until its not too bad. I noticed cardio helps with relief though!
From my personal experience working out through the soreness is WHAT u should do. The more u fight through the soreness the more ur muscles will get used to the "pain" and the better they will be at healing themselves. The first few days will be a pain in the ass but itll be worth it. Thank you
You actually have a point, the first time I started working out I remember having muscle soreness for weeks but the more I trained the less was the pain
Also a lot of working out is mental. Part of why newbie gains is a thing is overcoming the mental block of your muscles telling you to stop while youre working out. Training yourself that the pain isnt as significant as it might feel is pretty damn useful for having more effective workouts in the future
Everyone have different genetics, and sometimes you get a good genetics where if you workout despite the pain, you will notice more gains. But there's also those who have the silly end of stick of genetics, where if they workout despite being sore, the sore will worsen or worse break your muscle.
i just messed around with this.. they say try to add 5 lbs every time you work out.. well if my muscles are sore i literally cannot use them.. i never work out and i just did 40 pushups the other day and my whole upper body burned for 3 days.. i couldnt lift my arms past shoulder height.. i wanted to do more clean and press which is the other exercise ive been doing but with sore muscles if i cant even lift my arms over my head im not gonna even be able to do the reps.. so i ended up waiting like 4 days after my last set of reps and when i wasnt sore anymore i was totally able to add the 5 lbs and felt like i had the gain s to do it.. i even doubled the intensity of the reps by adding in a squat and another press into the rep.. so i definitely think waiting for soreness to subside is the way to go.. unfortunately it means sitting around for 4 days between workouts..
@@thothheartmaat2833 that's one approach but in reality it can't work for long before hitting a plateau. Also u need to do the same weight twice to get accustomed to it. New exercises added require caution. Don't overdo it from the start. With squats u can add 5 kg or more each time especially if u do it only once a week and sets are limited, and keeping same depth. One working set will increase strength the fastest, but more is recommended except if u get back problems or find it too stressful
I noticed when you stretch the sore muscles it reduces the pain from the soreness. Working out while sore then becomes more tolerable and I agree with you that it does not actually worsen the soreness to workout sore. I’d just simply refrain from over exerting yourself while sore as to not damage the muscles.
I especially love working out during the muscle soreness. It will hurt at first but would go away if u continue working out and that pain u felt is very special. I just love the pain from muscle soreness.
If you have painful soreness, just rest until you can get back to the gym. That’s what I did , I just rest one week and now I’m training as hard as before.
I had painful soreness after the first day of gym. But i did the workout the next despite of the soreness. And the soreness stopped after 3 days of working out regularly.
This was so helpfull thank you. All of my gym stints have ended because of soreness. Breaking schedule is the worst thing you can do for motivation but I had been convinced that it was best for my health.
I'm fine with working out certain sore muscles, like in my legs, but putting weight on a sore triceps feels like the whole muscle is about to rip in two. There's no worse muscle to have sore imo
@@jewishnazi6400 there a lot of web pages that give you specific numbers. Bodybuilding.com has one where you enter you height, weight, gender, and activity level.

dude i cried laughing during the first 30 seconds cuz its so true! I am experiencing that exact scenario right this moment! The struggle is real yall. Motivation is high but the muscle soreness has taken over!
It depends! One factor I think should be taken into account would be whether or not you are training for strength. If you are an intermediate to advanced lifter who is squatting heavy on Monday and planning on deadlifting heavy on Wednesday but end up being very sore from Monday's squats, you might be best pushing the deadlifts back a day and trying to increase performance (maybe you still decide to do some lighter upper body stuff that Wednesday anyway, but still). Thoughts?
Excellent video! As a Doctor of Physical Therapy, this is a question I get from patients all of the time, and your video explained exactly what people should do in an accurate and entertaining way. Kudos!
im actually proud that my muscles feel sore, its motivating since i just started working out and rlly pushed myself to the limits, it shows that i worked hard
I love when your muscles feel sore since then you feel good about yourself and you are constantly being reminded that you went to the gym the day before
I started working out again recently, and so when I did, a day after my muscles were super sore. It’s been 4 days and it’s still sore. But I want to keep working out.
The man that lifts the most is the strongest, keep working out until you absolutely cannot anymore. I worked out everyday until I got overtraining syndrome, took a break then right back at it. Your body will eventually adapt.
I always find after a few minutes into a workout I won't feel the soreness from the day before, but after I finish the workout I feel the soreness again
I changed my training regimen and I got sore. It consist of: -30 push ups -20 alternating plank -100 table push up Rest then: -20 sec flutter kicks -30 fast cunches -20 vertical toe raise 20 sec cobra stretch Then rest a little then -20 lunge jumps -100 squats -100 high knees -100 calf raise -100 jumping jacks and my favorite, 1000 punch of grattitude. I watch alot of animes so......yeah, I guess I'll suffer more for the next few months. I also just name some of these because I wanted to.
After a while of working out you won't be sore anyways. But you'll feel weaker on some days than others. Most of the time I still workout even though I feel a bit weaker.
Thanks for the video. Contemplating it now it’s almost obvious that if your muscles are already cracked then going to hard while being sore.. it’ll cause more damage. So a light workout 🏋️♂️ or just wait until the soreness is gone. Don’t let your motivation die. Or just being a little sore and working out is fine.. keep in mind if something’s already ripped we shouldn’t look forward to damaging it even more, allow the healing process to happen.... when sore, why not meditate 🙏🏽
Simple routine that I use that might help u ( Monday: Squats (Legs) Tuesday: Bench (Chest) Wednesday: Cleans & Core (Full body & abs) Thursday: Decline & Incline Bench (Upper and Lower Chest) Friday: Deadlift & Legs (Full-body & Legs) Saturday and Sunday: Let ur body recover just do jogs and core exercises. Also I recommend doing shoulders, biceps, and forearm along with ur chest days. Note: You’re not just doing that one exercise, it’s just the main exercise of that day like for example Tuesday is bench so u do ur 3 sets of 10 and u move on to another arm and chest related exercise like a military press or a lawnmower.
A military press is in no way a chest exercise. It is a shoulder exercise, and one of the best ones at that. The "lawnmower" is a pull exercise, which means it primarily works the back and also some shoulders. To me, it is strange how much focus you have on the chest, while not really mentioning the back as such (other than deadlifts and whatever you mean by "full-body") and only mentioning the shoulders as a footnote. No mention of triceps either. Just as a bit of advice, I think the workout also could benefit from some kind of progression periodisation based on whatever primary goal it is meant for (which I suppose is hypertrophy - and I am guessing that because you mention 3 sets of 10). So maybe add sets based on percentage of 1RM. Just a suggestion.
The best option is to only work out parts of the body at a time seeing as working out the same body part hard is difficult and working a body part hard two or three times a week is better than light rounds every day. You can also do the same as what I usually opt to do, that being a full body workout everyday but take it lighter on certain parts while going hard on others. If you really want to get into that, look into program Jeff Nippard, that being a great intermediate to advanced program (there are plenty of good ones for beginners out there too) however if you are a. Egan er I strongly advise you to do two or three weeks of body weight exercises and then when starting with weights start lighter than you feel you can and then from there ramp it up. Otherwise you could cause damage to the tenants in your body, they take about one to two weeks to recover and if you feel them being sore or hurting , go light and if you have to work hard, do more light reps rather than fewer heavy reps. Arm wrestling is a good example of how tenants need rest, you might have felt it if you have had a day filled with arm wrestling. Be careful while training people. Also good on you for exercising your body no matter what level you are, never compare yourself to others, only the past you.
Pain is the body telling us something is wrong or needs to heal. It's interesting how we tend to discount the pain of muscle soreness as if our muscles don't deserve the same consideration as any other kind of pain or soreness like a bruise.
I'm starting to workout as I've decided that I wanted to join the US Army, and see if I can get in within next year. And so I'm feeling sore in the arms and legs, but that's part of working out if not used to constantly do the exercise. I'd say keep at it, and I know y'all can too! I'm just preparing myself, that way I can be more in shape if I can keep it up. :)
PictureFit should do a video on whether or not “I’m not fat I’m big boned” is even possible. Definitely make a reference to Eric Cartman from South Park.
They could. If you're wondering, the size of your bones only usually can make up to about 15 pounds of difference at most. Most people who are overweight are not big boned. I myself used to be obese, and I'm actually on the smaller end of bone thickness. -E
My dad always pushed me to work out and exercise and on days that I was really sore he told me that exercise is good for making soreness go away. To his credit in most situations you stop realizing it’s there after like 5 mins
When I played sports in high school, the first week was always filled with sore muscles. But we had to make those workouts anyway. The soreness resolved in about a week. But otherwise, there's no need to punish yourself by working out while you feel sore, especially for beginners. Just wait for the soreness to resolve (4 days max for rank beginners), and then resume your workouts. There is no rush, and it is much more pleasant. But soreness is self-limiting in that sore muscles can do less, and the reslting lighter workout will aid in recovery.
Thank you so much for this video. I was feeling sore in my muscles and my usual space to exercise was also feeling cold, so I was kinda fighting myself to not exercise, greatly due to the fact that I was feeling sore. With this tough, I can see it's only my laziness kicking in and am pumped up to jump back into it, so....thanks a metric tonne and beyond 😊
one thing though... I've experienced it for myself. Don't go all out on your first work out when you're not in shape T_T that leads to like 1 weak of soreness (at least in my case I really went overboard). I did the legs too like an idiot xD I could barely walk up and down stairs.
Latest studies on Metadata analysis show a marked increase in occurrence of all cause mortality after 40 - 90 minutes of exercise per week ....also shows a decrease in mortality on the same curve from zero exercise .... to just a little bit....
In college I did track and field and me and my fellow teammates who did 400m/400 hurdlers, the coaches would ask us if we were sore from the day before cause we would do a hard workout that day before. And of course me and my teammates were deathly sore so the coaches would still have us a do a workout that wasn’t hard but also wasn’t easy. It would be like a purgatory of workouts. My 400 coach would tell us on those days that it is vital to still workout when your sore. But then again this was during season, we were competing at least every other weekend so it being vital may have to do with having peak performance but he always said it’s good to workout when sore, nothing crazy hard, but also nothing super easy. And this coach is someone I will look up to for the rest of my life cause when he speaks, it’s like he could lead a cult. You just knew he knew what he was talking about.
In a way it does affect your gains actually. Usually when you are sore you are still in the process of healing the muscle. Thus Supercompensation has not reached its peak yet. When you work out the point where the supercompensation is at that moment will be the new 0 mark, sort of speak. So over a long period of time, if you would constantly work out while sore, you would actually gain muscle size slower as when you did a workout of that muscle again during the peak of supercompensation. The trick is to find that point for you, because it is not exactly the same for everyone and is very dependent on sleep, nutrition and other personal factors.
Hmm if muscle soreness is indeed caused by tissue damage, then wouldn't it be wise to avoid damaging the same tissues tomorrow. I know bodybuilding is entirely contingent on muscle damage and repair but if you don't let the muscles recover from the damage, you'll make them weaker, not stronger.
Perfect, thorough explanation. Mentally, I say stick with the commitment by at least going to the gym or whatever it is anyway, and do ‘something.’ If it’s too much pain to move that part of your body, give that a rest day, but do what you can otherwise.
I like to go to the gym the day before my main workout and do a light workout. I find this helps to strengthen my main workout as the body is still in a subconscious recovery period while the tears in muscles are doing their job. I agree with the video though. You don't want to end the gym addiction!
Working out while sore is definitely a go. No pain,no gain. You'll learn to love it and look for it. Eventually, you'll miss it. I think that this trains the brain as well. Mental strength is a necessity as well. Go for it. Don't forget to refuel, good protein is a must for rebuilding muscle tissue.
I had thought this too but apparently there havn't been any studies to show that is the case. PictureFit is very good about thoroughly researching their content so I am inclined to trust the conclusions.
But a little sarcastic tbh. I think if you're sore, you should still workout but if it gets to a point when you are actually in tears then you should stop and let it subside
I can only feel soreness during my first workout. That was 2 months ago. I dont feel soreness ever again no matter how hard I try to push my body. It was a good feeling tbh...
As someone who has delt with torn muscles several times, that would be my concern. Pulling on a muscle that is already recovering feels like a recipe for that type of injury
Been gone for too long! Good to be back. Hi guys!

Well to be perfectly honest. In my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view. By also looking into this matter from a different perspective and without being condemned by anyone’s views and by trying to make it objectified and by considering each and every person’s valid opinion. I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say.
Im punishing my muscles for not looking the way i want. So im going to workout when im sore till my muscles get the point lol.
You’re handsome
How’s it been, what’s the progress been in one year?

@@danielson1037 Congrats man
Son..
As my personal experience I recommend to let the soreness heal before working out again.
Soreness effects beginners the hardest. After 2~5 cycles you should not feel as sore and will recover much faster with will allow you to workout more often.
Another thing that is similar to soreness but isn't painful is muscle fatigue. Basically you feel like your muscle is tired. It also takes 2~3 days to recover and if you are feeling it I also recommend a full recovery before working out again.
My believe is that feeling bad is the worst motivator.
I don’t train with DOMS. I take it as a sign that I am still recovering so I wait one more day.
Train another body part...
I train full body so no.
My central nervous system need the rest anyways. FBW's are very draining.
Edit: I'm sorry. I realize now I left out a crucial detail. When I did splits I would always train a different body part the next day.
So basically you train once every 3 days.
win.
rafael matos When I really hit the groove I train once every other day(Not for long). But now it’s sometimes every 3 days. I do occasionally manage to recover quicker. But everything has to be on point with sleep, food, and stress, etc.
@@momatotsosrorudodi The problem is that you don't train enough. I train twice a day and I'm usually only slightly tight in some areas. Your body will adapt to the stress.

Actually some people hold their breaths while doing some exercises so technically, kinda
Great to see you back brother! I workout when the soreness is mild. Severe soreness, I just rest up until its not too bad. I noticed cardio helps with relief though!
This was the answer I was looking for. Short and straight up...Other videos were taking me all over the place. Thank you Picture Fit.
From my personal experience working out through the soreness is WHAT u should do. The more u fight through the soreness the more ur muscles will get used to the "pain" and the better they will be at healing themselves. The first few days will be a pain in the ass but itll be worth it. Thank you
It makes sense
You actually have a point, the first time I started working out I remember having muscle soreness for weeks but the more I trained the less was the pain
Man i was thinking about not going to gym
But u changed my mind
Also a lot of working out is mental. Part of why newbie gains is a thing is overcoming the mental block of your muscles telling you to stop while youre working out. Training yourself that the pain isnt as significant as it might feel is pretty damn useful for having more effective workouts in the future
Everyone have different genetics, and sometimes you get a good genetics where if you workout despite the pain, you will notice more gains. But there's also those who have the silly end of stick of genetics, where if they workout despite being sore, the sore will worsen or worse break your muscle.
I actually get better results when I take the break as I’m fully recovered. Recovery is a huge and important factor to Muscle growth.
Yeah when you let it recover then muscle build
Exactly, this dude talking about "it depends" lol
@@tonybarfridge4369 Bro take a day or two off not the whole week lol
i just messed around with this.. they say try to add 5 lbs every time you work out.. well if my muscles are sore i literally cannot use them.. i never work out and i just did 40 pushups the other day and my whole upper body burned for 3 days.. i couldnt lift my arms past shoulder height.. i wanted to do more clean and press which is the other exercise ive been doing but with sore muscles if i cant even lift my arms over my head im not gonna even be able to do the reps.. so i ended up waiting like 4 days after my last set of reps and when i wasnt sore anymore i was totally able to add the 5 lbs and felt like i had the gain s to do it.. i even doubled the intensity of the reps by adding in a squat and another press into the rep.. so i definitely think waiting for soreness to subside is the way to go.. unfortunately it means sitting around for 4 days between workouts..
@@thothheartmaat2833 that's one approach but in reality it can't work for long before hitting a plateau. Also u need to do the same weight twice to get accustomed to it. New exercises added require caution. Don't overdo it from the start. With squats u can add 5 kg or more each time especially if u do it only once a week and sets are limited, and keeping same depth. One working set will increase strength the fastest, but more is recommended except if u get back problems or find it too stressful
Are you actually a mind reader or is it just a coincidence you upload anything I wonder about
My life with literally everything lol
Same thing happened to me with his older videos
I did a long back workout yesterday. I'm very sore and wondering if I should go to the gym today. Then this video is in my recommended.
Lol just got back to working out and sore af. Was wondering if I should still go today and this comes out hahaha I think he’s psychic
I questioned this a long time ago, way too late for me
yo imma be real with you chief i love when my muscles are sore it feels good🤤
Clarence Remy facts
I like it and I don’t like it at the same time
Yup yup yup its like a trophy or an achievement
Makes me feel like everybody can see my muscles
Fuckin masochist
I always thought when you get sore that means your muscles will 100% grow after recovering so I always workout when im not too sore.
I noticed when you stretch the sore muscles it reduces the pain from the soreness. Working out while sore then becomes more tolerable and I agree with you that it does not actually worsen the soreness to workout sore. I’d just simply refrain from over exerting yourself while sore as to not damage the muscles.
I especially love working out during the muscle soreness. It will hurt at first but would go away if u continue working out and that pain u felt is very special. I just love the pain from muscle soreness.
soreness always fades through 3 days for me if not 2 so I'd rather wait and then go back full strength
You should do an intense ab session. It will last a week.
Doms can’t stop me😎

@@mr.perfectcell3843 same

the soreness is actually what I'm looking for after exercises, kinda feeling the gain
Yes, especially when the exact muscles sore that you want to, it satisfys me.
true. the goal is to work out hard enough that youre sore, but not so hard that you're still sore by the time you work that muscle again
When you’re dreaming about doms but all you’re getting is DOMS 😩
Ah man I feel you😂 although I dream about subs
DOMS had me laughing so hard.
BONK
Not sure if you mean by the guys that have name of dom ? Or if you like dominos? Or if they are just too dominate in the relationship.. 👀
If you have painful soreness, just rest until you can get back to the gym. That’s what I did , I just rest one week and now I’m training as hard as before.
I had painful soreness after the first day of gym. But i did the workout the next despite of the soreness. And the soreness stopped after 3 days of working out regularly.
If I’m sore it goes away after a couple sets and i feel pretty much normal
If you have a hangover just drink another beer, hangover goes away...
@@GregHib true
@Majed Al-Oskan it doesn't relieve it postpones....
If I have muscle soreness after few exercises the soreness disappears but then it comes back 😂
My understanding is mild to moderate movements will help increase circulation and recovery.
Then go for a walk!
This was so helpfull thank you. All of my gym stints have ended because of soreness. Breaking schedule is the worst thing you can do for motivation but I had been convinced that it was best for my health.
I took a leg day while being sore, and now I don't have my legs anymore
I Felt that 😔
I'm fine with working out certain sore muscles, like in my legs, but putting weight on a sore triceps feels like the whole muscle is about to rip in two. There's no worse muscle to have sore imo

Lorenzo Robles yeah but no one is answering how much you should take

@@jewishnazi6400 theresa other protein sources than eggs. And 117 grams is pretty low. I have to take in 175-200g a day on a vegetarian diet. Not easy.

@@theepicsandwichgoc192 42
dude i cried laughing during the first 30 seconds cuz its so true! I am experiencing that exact scenario right this moment! The struggle is real yall. Motivation is high but the muscle soreness has taken over!
It depends! One factor I think should be taken into account would be whether or not you are training for strength. If you are an intermediate to advanced lifter who is squatting heavy on Monday and planning on deadlifting heavy on Wednesday but end up being very sore from Monday's squats, you might be best pushing the deadlifts back a day and trying to increase performance (maybe you still decide to do some lighter upper body stuff that Wednesday anyway, but still). Thoughts?
Excellent video! As a Doctor of Physical Therapy, this is a question I get from patients all of the time, and your video explained exactly what people should do in an accurate and entertaining way. Kudos!
im actually proud that my muscles feel sore, its motivating since i just started working out and rlly pushed myself to the limits, it shows that i worked hard
Literally my thoughts
Are you still working out ??
I love when your muscles feel sore since then you feel good about yourself and you are constantly being reminded that you went to the gym the day before
That moment when you just returned home from working out, and you know that tomorow is gonna be hell but you enjoy the moment anyway.
Yesssss😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😭
I started working out again recently, and so when I did, a day after my muscles were super sore. It’s been 4 days and it’s still sore. But I want to keep working out.
The man that lifts the most is the strongest, keep working out until you absolutely cannot anymore. I worked out everyday until I got overtraining syndrome, took a break then right back at it. Your body will eventually adapt.
Soreness after working out is absolutely the best pain out there... it's the pain of success. I love it.
I always find after a few minutes into a workout I won't feel the soreness from the day before, but after I finish the workout I feel the soreness again
I changed my training regimen and I got sore. It consist of:
-30 push ups
-20 alternating plank
-100 table push up
Rest then:
-20 sec flutter kicks
-30 fast cunches
-20 vertical toe raise
20 sec cobra stretch
Then rest a little then
-20 lunge jumps
-100 squats
-100 high knees
-100 calf raise
-100 jumping jacks
and my favorite, 1000 punch of grattitude.
I watch alot of animes so......yeah, I guess I'll suffer more for the next few months. I also just name some of these because I wanted to.
add pull ups
Ty
flutter kicks are the best
After a while of working out you won't be sore anyways. But you'll feel weaker on some days than others. Most of the time I still workout even though I feel a bit weaker.
Thanks for the video. Contemplating it now it’s almost obvious that if your muscles are already cracked then going to hard while being sore.. it’ll cause more damage. So a light workout 🏋️♂️ or just wait until the soreness is gone. Don’t let your motivation die. Or just being a little sore and working out is fine.. keep in mind if something’s already ripped we shouldn’t look forward to damaging it even more, allow the healing process to happen.... when sore, why not meditate 🙏🏽
My point exactly. But again, to each their own...
Who else is watching this and have muscle soreness.....
Simple routine that I use that might help u (
Monday: Squats (Legs)
Tuesday: Bench (Chest)
Wednesday: Cleans & Core (Full body & abs)
Thursday: Decline & Incline Bench (Upper and Lower Chest)
Friday: Deadlift & Legs (Full-body & Legs)
Saturday and Sunday: Let ur body recover just do jogs and core exercises.
Also I recommend doing shoulders, biceps, and forearm along with ur chest days.
Note: You’re not just doing that one exercise, it’s just the main exercise of that day like for example Tuesday is bench so u do ur 3 sets of 10 and u move on to another arm and chest related exercise like a military press or a lawnmower.
A military press is in no way a chest exercise. It is a shoulder exercise, and one of the best ones at that. The "lawnmower" is a pull exercise, which means it primarily works the back and also some shoulders.
To me, it is strange how much focus you have on the chest, while not really mentioning the back as such (other than deadlifts and whatever you mean by "full-body") and only mentioning the shoulders as a footnote. No mention of triceps either.
Just as a bit of advice, I think the workout also could benefit from some kind of progression periodisation based on whatever primary goal it is meant for (which I suppose is hypertrophy - and I am guessing that because you mention 3 sets of 10). So maybe add sets based on percentage of 1RM. Just a suggestion.
@@alanfrost75 thanks will do, this isn’t all I do, I tend to switch it up but keep the main concept but yea I should have been more clear.

Bae: Why are you done in 5 seconds
Me : It depends
Short answer: Yes, only if your muscles are sore and not your joints.
Aww the drawing of the girl was so adorable! Thanks for the quick and direct tips
The best option is to only work out parts of the body at a time seeing as working out the same body part hard is difficult and working a body part hard two or three times a week is better than light rounds every day. You can also do the same as what I usually opt to do, that being a full body workout everyday but take it lighter on certain parts while going hard on others. If you really want to get into that, look into program Jeff Nippard, that being a great intermediate to advanced program (there are plenty of good ones for beginners out there too) however if you are a. Egan er I strongly advise you to do two or three weeks of body weight exercises and then when starting with weights start lighter than you feel you can and then from there ramp it up. Otherwise you could cause damage to the tenants in your body, they take about one to two weeks to recover and if you feel them being sore or hurting , go light and if you have to work hard, do more light reps rather than fewer heavy reps. Arm wrestling is a good example of how tenants need rest, you might have felt it if you have had a day filled with arm wrestling. Be careful while training people. Also good on you for exercising your body no matter what level you are, never compare yourself to others, only the past you.

Pain is the body telling us something is wrong or needs to heal. It's interesting how we tend to discount the pain of muscle soreness as if our muscles don't deserve the same consideration as any other kind of pain or soreness like a bruise.
I'm starting to workout as I've decided that I wanted to join the US Army, and see if I can get in within next year. And so I'm feeling sore in the arms and legs, but that's part of working out if not used to constantly do the exercise. I'd say keep at it, and I know y'all can too! I'm just preparing myself, that way I can be more in shape if I can keep it up. :)
PictureFit should do a video on whether or not “I’m not fat I’m big boned” is even possible. Definitely make a reference to Eric Cartman from South Park.
It depends
They could. If you're wondering, the size of your bones only usually can make up to about 15 pounds of difference at most. Most people who are overweight are not big boned. I myself used to be obese, and I'm actually on the smaller end of bone thickness. -E
Simple answer: That’s why every body part, has a specific day...
I work out every part of my body just to feel the warmth of pain again
My dad always pushed me to work out and exercise and on days that I was really sore he told me that exercise is good for making soreness go away. To his credit in most situations you stop realizing it’s there after like 5 mins
When I played sports in high school, the first week was always filled with sore muscles. But we had to make those workouts anyway. The soreness resolved in about a week. But otherwise, there's no need to punish yourself by working out while you feel sore, especially for beginners. Just wait for the soreness to resolve (4 days max for rank beginners), and then resume your workouts. There is no rush, and it is much more pleasant. But soreness is self-limiting in that sore muscles can do less, and the reslting lighter workout will aid in recovery.
Thank you so much for this video. I was feeling sore in my muscles and my usual space to exercise was also feeling cold, so I was kinda fighting myself to not exercise, greatly due to the fact that I was feeling sore. With this tough, I can see it's only my laziness kicking in and am pumped up to jump back into it, so....thanks a metric tonne and beyond 😊
one thing though... I've experienced it for myself. Don't go all out on your first work out when you're not in shape T_T that leads to like 1 weak of soreness (at least in my case I really went overboard). I did the legs too like an idiot xD I could barely walk up and down stairs.
Me: PictureFit, can you give us yes or no answer.
PictureFit: It depends.
No pain no gain😤
It depends
Latest studies on Metadata analysis show a marked increase in occurrence of all cause mortality after 40 - 90 minutes of exercise per week ....also shows a decrease in mortality on the same curve from zero exercise .... to just a little bit....
In college I did track and field and me and my fellow teammates who did 400m/400 hurdlers, the coaches would ask us if we were sore from the day before cause we would do a hard workout that day before. And of course me and my teammates were deathly sore so the coaches would still have us a do a workout that wasn’t hard but also wasn’t easy. It would be like a purgatory of workouts. My 400 coach would tell us on those days that it is vital to still workout when your sore. But then again this was during season, we were competing at least every other weekend so it being vital may have to do with having peak performance but he always said it’s good to workout when sore, nothing crazy hard, but also nothing super easy. And this coach is someone I will look up to for the rest of my life cause when he speaks, it’s like he could lead a cult. You just knew he knew what he was talking about.
In a way it does affect your gains actually. Usually when you are sore you are still in the process of healing the muscle. Thus Supercompensation has not reached its peak yet. When you work out the point where the supercompensation is at that moment will be the new 0 mark, sort of speak. So over a long period of time, if you would constantly work out while sore, you would actually gain muscle size slower as when you did a workout of that muscle again during the peak of supercompensation. The trick is to find that point for you, because it is not exactly the same for everyone and is very dependent on sleep, nutrition and other personal factors.
Hmm if muscle soreness is indeed caused by tissue damage, then wouldn't it be wise to avoid damaging the same tissues tomorrow. I know bodybuilding is entirely contingent on muscle damage and repair but if you don't let the muscles recover from the damage, you'll make them weaker, not stronger.
This is correct

Perfect, thorough explanation. Mentally, I say stick with the commitment by at least going to the gym or whatever it is anyway, and do ‘something.’ If it’s too much pain to move that part of your body, give that a rest day, but do what you can otherwise.
I like to go to the gym the day before my main workout and do a light workout. I find this helps to strengthen my main workout as the body is still in a subconscious recovery period while the tears in muscles are doing their job.
I agree with the video though. You don't want to end the gym addiction!

Working out while sore is definitely a go. No pain,no gain. You'll learn to love it and look for it. Eventually, you'll miss it. I think that this trains the brain as well. Mental strength is a necessity as well. Go for it. Don't forget to refuel, good protein is a must for rebuilding muscle tissue.
cousin: did u just eat out ur uncle?

I thought when you are sore, your muscles are still recovering and building up your muscle. So you shouldn’t work out when you are sore
Brandon Heat so if im sore all week, just dont workout until it stops?
B T are u being sarcastic or for real
Its a genuine question
I had thought this too but apparently there havn't been any studies to show that is the case. PictureFit is very good about thoroughly researching their content so I am inclined to trust the conclusions.
But a little sarcastic tbh. I think if you're sore, you should still workout but if it gets to a point when you are actually in tears then you should stop and let it subside
