The soreness from my Monday workout hasn't really diminished yet, in fact it feels like it has amplified. This probably has something to do with the fact that for the last two nights I have had horrible insomnia. So, I imagine it was something like this: Monday work out and rip muscles, Tuesday morning wake up totally exhausted and sore, sit in office all day, Wednesday morning wake up slightly more rested, but sore as hell.
Anyway, I've decided to give myself 2 days to recover from this first workout instead of 1 and pushed my lifting back one day. I literally cannot bend my legs low enough right now even after stretching to be able to squat. So, right now my schedule is going to be Lifts on Thursday and then Saturday, then go into Week B on Monday.
I'm going to be reading on the interwebs on any tricks to help muscles recover (other than vitamins, protien and sleep, all of which I am trying to do).
The thing that really kills me about this is that even just a couple of years ago, I wouldn't be this sore from that workout. This is middle age people - don't underestimate it.
