Weightlifting help - I can't bend my arms!

[Stevie Freestein II]

I did an exercise class on Sunday morning where you do a lot of light reps of bicep curls/shoulder press/triceps etc. It was called BodyPump or something.

I was OK at the time but now my arms hurt at the biceps just above the elbows.

When will it start to repair? I want to do tomorrow's boxercise class.

I'm getting addicted to this stuff now as there's loads of blart.

Protein needed...........

Your first few weeks will hurt, no two ways about it. Eat properly, get enough sleep and train through the pain.

If you're building muscle, give them at least 48 hours before training again, other than that train through the pain, they'll soon loosen up.

Some things you can take to help with the pains, a protein shake with simple carbs and some creatine after training helps me.

I can't help but disagree with that. I've never really gotten any results in weight gain from alternating days. Got back to the weights after a couple of months off while I was in Germany have been training three days on then a rest day where I'll usually do some cardio. Put on half a stone in a week.

Maybe that's just the way I respond best though.

rest. plenty of water and protein. Potassium can also help with DOMS, banana's are a good source of this.

OK thanks a lot, I'm really enjoying the classes as I get bored after 20 mins in the gym.

I can't believe I didn't think of doing this years ago! Beats running as a hobby.

Unless yer a puff!

Hurt Monday a.m. but more the top of thighs from the squats.

Last night the arms hurt and I looked like a professional carpet carrier.
