STOPPED LIFTING FOR 2 MONTHS AND FELT LIKE DYING
Guys... I just started lifting again today after a 2 month break (previously id been weight lifting for ab 5-ish months. So im still fairly new, but for personal reasons i wasn't able to lift at all over the summer) and it was AWFUL my arms felt like spaghetti noodles, I went down from 85lbs on bench to 65lbs on bench, and after my arms were wore out i could barely do dumbell exercises with 10lbs like my arms were GONE. Like i felt worse than i did when i first started lifting. Well, on a positive note, when i first started lifting i Couldn't even lift the 45lb bar and had to start with a 20lb bar on bench w/o weights... so atleast i haven't regressed that much on weight, but as for stamina .... well.... thats a different story >_<
Why do I feel a lot better when I stopped lifting? I felt bloated, weak and dreaded my gym sessions when I was regularly training with a lotta weights. Ditched gym for regular 5 km runs, calisthenics and yoga and I look and feel a lot better. 1 reply
You just reminded me how I haven't been able to go the the gym in the past days and I could already feel my progress reversing but if it makes you feel better I can barely do 15lb I have poor strength I'm better of doing cardio since I at least have good stamina ( I think) ╥﹏╥ 1 reply
Ik people who go to the gym every single day to lift and they try to get me to go but what keeps you going after, I don’t get the hype! since I feel like I’m torturing myself when they drag me to those exercising classes at the gym but lifting specifically is it the progress built muscle ? goals, runners high type thing ?? Enlighten me mgo fitn...... 2 reply
