Just a quick note on over-training and muscle soreness. Is over-training a common problem? YES
Over training is defined for my purpose simply as not allowing proper rest, nutrition and hydration between workouts. So, if you correct these measures, you can almost eliminate over-training. However, our bodies get used to training very quickly, so I still want everyone to take one full week off every three months. This will recharge the batteries and get ready for new growth.
So, you finished working out and a few hours later you start feeling sore, here is what you should do. Simply put, rest, eat, hydrate. You should get at least 8-10 hours of good sleep before the next workout day. Make sure you are keeping protein intake high to support muscle repair and growth. Drink at least three litres of water every day to keep the fluid levels high.
