/fit/, I worked out for the first time in awhile on wednesday, and since then I've been incredibly sore. It's alot better today, but am I going to be in pain like this from now on, if I always push myself to the limit? BTW I was doing shoulder press and preacher curls if it matters.

You wont be in pain like that from now on unless you're really doing something wrong, or have an injury.

In all likelihood, you pushed yourself hard and your body wasn't prepared for it. I can almost guarantee you it wont be nearly as bad the next time you work out (assuming you don't take, like, a month off >_>)

That's probably it, because I don't have an injury, and I was working out with some other guys who seem to be fine, so I doubt I was doing it wrong. Thanks :D

No problem, I went through the same thing when I got back into consistent lifting a few months ago. The day after my first workout was just excruciating. Since then nothing unusual in terms of post-workout soreness, though.

There's "good pain" and "bad pain". This subject I have no idea how to express in words, I just *feel* what's good and not. I weight lifted for 6 mo with personal trainer, paid me my fair share of money, and he told me when to stop, and when to keep going. Many times I bitched, but he interpreted my bitching and converted it to safety advise and motivation advice (feel the burn!, vs. stop and stretch, or stop for the day).

Hope this helps. Actually I really hope another smart anon will come along and vocalize moar better my thoughts.

Not something binary stupid like pain 1, 2, and nothing else. I mean rather, there's a variety of sensations that can be called "pain", but mean different things. Soreness is good. Injury is bad. Here's hoping.
