Thread: First workout ever.

You'll adadpt quickly dont worry.

sounds like you pushed it so well done

Yeah - welcome to the club - this is a GREAT time to start a journal so record all your stats and how much you're doing so you can look back in a year in wonderment over your progress!

lol....sounds like my first nut

lol. i have a quick question. Lunges are really hard for me so is it alright if i was to take a little longer break than usual in between sets? or is that bad?

how much time were you thinking of taking?

in another thread you said that you had worked out before and had someone teach you olympic lifts and such.

your stories suck.

Yeah, I just dont get these threads. Kenwood x 2.

I mean first real workout. getting taught the olympic lifts where just with an empty bar.

o and inbetween lunges like 2min?

For things like lunges I usually just do 30 sec rest. You'll adapt really quickly. Wait for tomorrow; that is pain. Good luck walking down stairs for a while. Wait until your legs start giving out for no reason.

Dont forget to end each workout session with heavy - weighted plyometrics!

Heh it'll get easyier. A lot, and you'll love working out. Keep the good work.

AFTER you've been lifting for a while and can build up to hack jumps that is ... until then stick to the basics.

You confuse me too. Your stories are a mismatch, but if you continue on with this as a journal I'm sure it will all sort itself out.

My advise is to be detailed in how you describe your routines so people have faith in what you say ... ... cuz it seems like you have some contradictions in play danny.

Good luck on your work outs. DO NOT STOP!!!!

I know ... I'm used to seeing you joke around. He on the other hand is a noob. Picture a noob putting sand plates in his back-pac and trying to do hack-jumps.

"911 --- see the man on the floor with a back-pac halfway up his ass".

yup. I got the soreness today. its mainly in my traps, lats, and hams, not to bad in my quads. it was probably because i stretched them alot after lifting. i have boxing in 3 hrs lol. any recomondations on how to help get rid of the soreness a little before i box?

BTW this is my journal DAnny81s journal for boxing and MMA (help appreciated)

No danny it's the other way around ... stretching post workout reduces soreness. FYI "a lot" not "alot".

Stretching is the medication that heals. That and a hot tub work for me. Some people use ice after heat and find that effective so you could give it a shot.

You really need to read the stretching/warm-up sticky. Guys like p-func put a lot of time and heart in to these posts so you can read them. you really want to be serious about this then do what we all did ... read through every sticky. On the stuff that really fits your needs hit the print button and re-read that part. Right now danny your habit is to ignore the stickies and just post a question ... ... very bad habit. That shows a high disregard for the effort the guys here like p-func put into the stickies you ignore ... READ THEM!!!

alright. im reading them now.

alright what i got out of them was that i should do static stretching after and dynamic before.

I started watching TV and i just started shaking. Also lunges made me feel like my knees were going to pop out. just letting you guys know I dont know how you guys handle this 3-4x a week. Im going to just push through it.

Welcome to your new life. Smart to join this forum too. Just read the stickies so you dont like look a doofus asking a question that might have been answered already. Welcome once again.

... keep reading.

lol. alright. BTW can you send me the ways to get the MMA routines. thanks. im almost done reading now.

Your rest periods depend on your goals. 60-90 for hypertrophy. More than 90 is normally strength, and around 30 is normally endurance.

o ok. thanks.
