Ping Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 (edited) My Introduction: viewtopic.php?t=13172 Tune: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jzSh_MLNcY My breakfast is usually all the same everyday, so I'm writing it once at the beginning:2 pieces of whole wheat toast, spread with margarine, peanut butter and strawberry jelly (though your jelly might be somewhat different, mine has got only 50% fruit);A cereal consisting of choco soymilk, 2 weetabix, coconut and hazelnut bits, sugar, flax seeds and oatmeal;A glass of orange juice;Plus, most of the days, VEG 1, the Vegan Society Multivitamin (B2, B6, B12, Folic Acid, D, Iodine, Selenium).If I do not have to go anywhere, I add around 4 cups of tea to complete my awakening procedure. As breakfast is all that happened for today yet, that's the end of my first post. I'll check back soon. Comments appreciated.

Ping Posted May 4, 2008 Author Share Posted May 4, 2008 Tune: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wv5BoTioJrM Good morning!It's training day, **** yeah!But first, I'll have a nice breakfast with tea . I can only quote Rob "Have an outstanding day!" 1120 Breakfast w tea1315 Training1530 Multivitamin/Mineral + Regeneration Shake (Soy Protein + Maltodextrin + Dextrose + Soymilk Choco)Now comes the best time of the day - POST-Workout, feel your body, be pumped with happiness, have a chillout, drink your shake I did legs, neck, shoulders, biceps, triceps. I will not give you any weights yet, since I actually lower them at the moment, because I strive to optimize my accuracy, I think that's the most important thing I can do to succeed with my comeback .1640 Some fruits: 2 Bananas, 1 pear and 1 kiwi fruitWow, I feel so weak now. Found out that a spider invaded my room. 1800 Nutmegged mashed potatoes and broccoli with some rape-oil1945 25g cheap bar (~90kcal, ~2g Protein) - sadly high-protein bars are either expensive or not vegan in Germany 2000 Malt beer, not really complex carbohydrates (~250kcal AFAIK), but it tastes good and does its job 2010 Adding some walnuts to the malt beer session 2110 Cornflakes, oatmeal and choco soymilk I'd really love if someone could comment on yesterday's food. I love to optimize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karmacharger Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Sore muscles maybe not a positive sign, but it feels so great to know you were training. Sore muscles is a great sign! It means you pushed yourself and your muscles are recovering. I live for the burn! Enjoy it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuc Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 In that case healing IS growing. The whole point of bodybuilding is to tear muscles a bit (just a little bit). When they heal, your body will build them a bit stronger so that the next time they won't be torn. Then you increase reps or weights so that you'll tear them again a little bit.

What I've read until now was that the sore muscles have tiny cracks (?) and until this injury is healed, there's no growing. Plus, it would grow without the injuries, so avoiding them would be better. Is that wrong or am I just mistaking you ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about others but I really haven't heard of anyone getting really strong without training hard enough so that muscles are sore the next day. You have to avoid bad pain, for example if your ligaments are sore or you get your muscles infected. You'll know when it happens because you really don't want to do anything with your muscles then. The good pain is when the muscles are sore for a couple of days (especially after the first training sessions) and you feel great when they are being healed. Just wait for most of the good pain to go away and make them sore again. You really know it when you've had a good workout. I think the small cracks are pretty much the only way to build stronger muscles because that way you can get more muscle tissue between the existing tissue. However, I'm not a physician so someone may be able to tell this better than me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ping Posted May 6, 2008 Author Share Posted May 6, 2008 Thanks for your detailed post, tuc. Good to know, I can conscientiously love the pain. What I don't like is that my triceps is already OK while my biceps is still sore. Though I had the feeling that I worked hard on my tri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Some muscles react differently but maybe that means you have more endurance in your tris than your biceps(this is normal with people that can do a lot of pushups). You've just gotta find a different exercise that will kill the tris. You should really kill them. When I say sore I mean not being able to pick things up the next day...having trouble doing nearly everything like brushing your teeth....thats what you want.

el_flaco Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I don't know about others but I really haven't heard of anyone getting really strong without training hard enough so that muscles are sore the next day.Just to offer an alternative - I would say I only get sore when I change program or do something a bit different. During a phase where I'm doing the same exercises and upping the weights I rarely get sore. As long as I'm getting stronger I don't think it matters. I don't rate soreness as a barometer of progress.

I don't rate soreness as a barometer of progress.That's what most sources say. If you change the way you workout, you'll get sore muscles. But it's not necessary for progress in general.

Ping Posted May 20, 2008 Author Share Posted May 20, 2008 Absolutely amazing tune: http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=E-00RvfVx3oGreat remix of an awesome song. http://img360.imageshack.us/img360/7389/zwischenablage01nc1.jpg Loving my first green smoothie that I drink at the moment, consisting of spinach, bananas, mini tomatoes and an apple. Awesome way to get more greens in my diet. I've been training the last three days. Sunday I did 35 minutes of pulse 127 indoor bicycling, yesterday I did my workout and today again cardio (30m*141p).
