This has probably been answered somewhere in the forum but the search function isn't working for me right now for some reason...sorry if this is repetitive.
I had stopped weight training for about 6 months and had concentrated on losing weight. I'm now ready to start weight training again. My first workout session was Monday (today being Thursday). I'm just doing a beginner's workout of Upper body Monday/Thursday, Lower body Tuesday/Friday.
So I've had 2 days off from Upper body and am supposed to workout today. But my chest & arms are still REALLY sore today. Looking back at Monday, I probably over did it a little. I should have started off a bit slower...but it's too late now.
I've worked out a lot when being a little sore in the past...but this is beyond a little sore. I thought I would be better by this morning, but it's not.
So being this sore after 2 days rest, should I go ahead and do my workout today? Or should I wait? If I wait, should I wait until next Monday?
