thanks for clearing this up for me guys , come to think of it when i first started bench press my arms hurt the day after but now i can bench press with no ill effect

how do you tell the difference between soreness and pain ? ive always just used the two interchangeablly (hope thats the right word) but i honestly don't know which it is i just said soreness because ive heard the phrase delayed onset muscle soreness or DOMS before lol

might aswell update this thing as often as i can here is my workout stats for the day 4 sets of everything push ups : 5,5,6,4 squats: 25,25,25,25 side plank (secs) :60,40,46,40 table pull up :4,5,5,4

i am currently on vacation and have been doing bodyweight excercises . last week i did 4 sets of 25 bodyweight squats and the day after my thigh musscles were so sore i was practically bed ridden . today i resumed my workout schedule after falling off the wagon and my thighs hurt for the first 2 squats of every set . i did another 4 sets of 25 btw. is anyone else experiencing this or has experienced it in the past ? i never had thigh problems in the past so do you think i injured something that one day ? i would really appreciate the help thanks guys

if your not big on breakfast you don't necesarrily have to eat it . intermittent fasting can be a great way to burn extra fat i think theres a post on the blog about it from a while back

thanks for the advice man

hey kevin although i don't not wanna pick up girls my main focus here is to just learn to relax around them. the way i plan to work towards this goal is to just suck it up and force myself to talk to them. its not that im socially clueless i dont need to learn how to talk girls, i think id be able to manage a conversation with a gilr as in id know what to say my problem is just the actualy shyness i have around the ladies

stamina 3 sorry left that out

hey guys my name is laurence and this is my first 6 week challenge. I have been following the blog for about 3 months now and am finally ready to make a change. i am looking to lose weight . i am currently away from my home (and scales) so i don't know how much i weigh. the last time i weighed myself i was 144.4 lbs and that was almost a month ago. I know that that doesnt seem like a weight that requires losing ( im awful at phrasing things) but i am actually overweight judging by the mirror. i had just started lifting before going on vacation and could only manage the bar in most excercises although i could get 5 reps with an extra 10kg on squats and bench press . i don't know what the bar weighs i think it is 20kg.I will be away for the rest of the week and will be doing rebel strength bw brigade rank 1 for rest of week . STR :1 DEX: 2 CON:2 WIS:1 CHA:1 CHALLENGES: 1. lose 5-15 pounds description: im going to see how this one plays out as i will be strength training aswell and i dont know how i'l look 15 pounds lighter or if thats even possible with my current weight as i dont think i have too much to lose but again i just dont know so im looking for more of a body recomp but i hope to lose at least 5 pounds of fat. 2.stick to my paleo diet for all six weeks description: not much to describe just want to stick to the diet as i like how it makes my body feel and the results. i will also be consuming a little bit of milk in my tea , but i drink 2-3 cups a day so that probably adds up to about half a cup a day 3.improve all my lifts by at least 10 kg description:i know it will be difficult to build strength as i will be running a calorie deficit but i hope to improve my lifts by at least 10 kg or just get some plates on the bar 4. become more social around girls description: iturn very shy and awkward in front of girls.classic stereotypical nerd behaviour. there are some girls in my social group and i don't think i've ever had a proper conversation with any of them. i'm not looking to seduce these girls and make them my gfs (although i certainly wouldn't mind that !) i'm just looking to overcome my shyness and actually make some real girl friends. i know that working out and lsing weight will help me become more confident and social around girls
