k so I’m an admittedly fairly weak person. not a lot of muscle on these bones, but trying to improve it.
while I keep healthy in other ways (10k steps every day, usually with a run thrown in) getting into like basic weight shit has completely destroyed me. I did a leg routine for beginners I found online and I couldn’t sit down easily for several days. later, even doing very, very basic lifts with no weight, like just the bar, left me sore for fucking days.
so, 1) will this stop, and 2) is there something I’m doing wrong? I have a good diet Supplemented with a multivitamin, and I drink a shitton of water every day. Help!
Everyone has said lots of good things, I just want to reiterate that as long as it's your muscles and not your joints, you will be okay. It will hurt but the next one won't hurt as bad. As also mentioned, eat more than you would usually (especially beans/lentils/tofu /fish) and try to get enough sleep if you're able. Keep lifting, keep adding weight to the bar, and get stronger comrade. We will be here for you.
I sleep pretty poorly, this may have something to do with it. thanks so much — will keep you updated on my progress!
