Went on a run with the kiddos yesterday and good god it hurt still. What really sucked was my knee started twinging right after warm-up and starting the run portion. I hate that shit. I straight-legged through it and it finally went away and could at least jog without hurting it. 47 years old with surgically repaired knees is no way to go through life son.......

Going to hit it again tonight and try to show my body who the boss is hopefully it doesn't retaliate with a cardiac event......

this may be the complete opposite of proper recovery.

I just looked up body builders on YT and they are definitely not what I did, Lizard :laughing

It’s just a burpee without the push up. Since I fucked up my shoulder I’m avoiding doing “push” exercises.

Just bend down, kick your feet out, kick them back in, stand up, repeat.

Probably but screw it I had to show my old ass body who the boss was tonight. Actually made it farther before I gassed out and had to walk a bit. the knee did okay this time no pain probably going to recover tomorrow have to make a grocery/hardware run so that will take up most of the day then some yard work and maybe try and clean my perpetually messy garage.

Is it ok to work out when still sort of recovering? Like if I skip a day for rest but the next day still feel sore should I wait another day or do the workout?

One of my goals was to work out less. I used to work out like 5x a week, and 1 day a week of full-on BMX sessions, or hard, hard Muay Thai. Not good. It’s more for mental than physical, though.

If you’re trying to get best-chest-of-the-west, def rest days is where it’s at. You know, you really don’t need much to build and maintain. Diet and rest is way more important than pull up form and how much one can bench. It’s how morbidly obese people lose 300lbs by dieting and simply walking. And for those who are already ripped, 1 day a week of “maintenance” of a muscle group is all that’s required. I remember my bodybuilding mentor was a guy who was ALWAYS in shape. He didn’t push heavy weights at all and won every contest in the masters class.

I enjoy training so much, I rest so I can go hard next session. Then rest again.

I personally have zero issue with 4 rest days.

Everyone is different.

Repeating an exercise usually reduces or eliminates my soreness. I’d bet that’s because I know my body, know how much recovery I need before repeating, and how hard I can push during the repeat. If I went too hard too soon, I’d expect more soreness. I get DOMS pretty bad on day 2 of recovery from a new exercise. So I tend to wait until day 3.

So you should probably experiment to figure it out. First repeat attempt, I’d try at least 2 days of recovery and 50% of the effort. If you feel great 2 days after that, increase effort or reduce recovery and try again.
