I am not even overweight, and I still play pickup basketball and hike and have been pretty active. But, when I actually decided to get in the gym and get the body back that I had.... it was like a kick to the nads....

I could barely push up 185 on the bench. I couldn't do a pull up. To say my ego was a little beat up is an understatement.

So, stay in school, don't do drugs, and don't get fat.

That should be a public service announcement or somehting.

You'd be surprised how many people can't do a pullup.

I used to play pick up ball and intramural ball in school, 4-5 days a week.
Anymore, I've tried to pick up running, but end up being too sore to run more than once a week. Recently, I've invested in some super-high intensity stretch regimens. Helps a ton. You've got to spend at least 5 minutes stretching, not three or four stretches that address the different muscles you'll work during your exercise. It needs to focus on the entire area, and even get you warmed up with light cardio or elastic stretching. It will pay off in the following days

Well, luckily, that didn't last too long. I can crank out three now.... wohoo.

I know I am making progress, but it never happens as fast as we would like.

Of course, it took me a decade to get this out of shape. I imagine that in a year from my start date, I will have erased that decade's atrophy. So, not too bad, I suppose.

Were i as sore as you sound, no way would i try to 'power through' another leg program so soon.

Let them rest & rebuild a bit more, as i'm sure you know, you cant just jump back in & do what you were doing the last time you worked out consistently.

What's a pullup? An old person diaper?
