Hey people please can u give me ur advice:) 10 points to the best answer!!?

hey, 2 days ago i did 10 push ups, then after a one minute break i did another 10, then another 10, then 6, then 4, then 5. all with a break inbetween.


now im relitevly new to working out, but my pecs and kinda the top of my shoulder area is killing me, even 2day, and its been 2 days. my tricps arent sore, they were a little bit yesterday.


did i injure my shoulder/ upper chest or is this normal?? ill try 2morrow the same workout, with less reps, if im not sore.


what do people think??


thanks:)Hey people please can u give me ur advice:) 10 points to the best answer!!?
even with breaks in between thats too much if your just starting.


start with 10 a day


and increase by 1 or 2 every dayHey people please can u give me ur advice:) 10 points to the best answer!!?
No its because you are new to the working out. It will hurt for another couple of days. It is always worst the day after the day you started. Just pace yourself and remember to warm up first as this causes aches and pains for a much longer time period.





Thank you
the more you exercise it will become easier and wont hurt so much, it just because you dont tend to use those muscles as often as you'd think. but i suggest that you should get a trained proffesional to make up some sort of routine that way you now that your not over doning things.
You were just a bit over enthusiastic, happens to the best of us lovely.


I would just stick to 2 sets of 10 or 4 sets of 5 and build them up slowly. Also make sure you warm up and stretch before and after.


A warm bath might help.
u didn't injure yourself just leave it till your not sore than go again but gradually build it up the easier it becomes the more u push yourself don't rush into it if your serious
Reduce it, then begin to build it up again. But muscles can ache after any exersise.
Excessive training


Excessive training refers to the training in which the volume, the intensity, or both are increased too quickly, and without proper progression. Training with too high a volume or intensity produces no additional improvement in conditioning or performance and can lead to a chronic state of fatigue that is associated with muscle glycogen depletion. Research shows that training 3 to 4 hours per day, 5 or 6 days each week, provides no greater benefits than when training is limited to only 1 to 1.5 hours per day. In addition such excessive training has been shown to significantly decrease muscle strength. Therefore, trainers and trainees should make sure that their programs are periodized and slowly progressive. Finally, the concept of training specificity implies that several hours of daily training will not provide the adaptations needed for clients who participate in events of short duration. So if the training volume and intensity are implemented with a steady progression, and specific to that sport, then what should be the intensity of training?


The level of training intensity relates to both the force of muscle action and the stress placed on the cardiovascular system. With regard to muscle action, intensity is highest when the muscles exert maximal tension. Training intensity can determine the specific adaptations that occur in response to the training stimulus. High-intensity, low-volume training can be tolerated only for brief periods. Although it does increase muscle strength, aerobic capacity will not be improved. Conversely, low-intensity, high-volume training stresses the oxygen transport and oxidative metabolism systems, causing greater gains in aerobic capacity. Attempts to perform large amounts of high-intensity training or trying to imitate the training programs of elite clients can have negative effects on adaptation. The energy needs of high-intensity exercise place greater demands on the glycolytic system, rapidly depleting muscle glycogen. If training is attempted too often, such as daily, the muscles can become chronically depleted of their energy reserves and the person might demonstrate signs of chronic fatigue or overtraining. The body undergoes inflammation in response to this training and should progress into repair and remodeling.


If you are constantly in the catabolic state of metabolism through repeated training, your body cannot produce the chemical substances and parts needed for repair, remodeling and ultimately growth of the body. This is called overtraining. The stress of excessive training can exceed the body鈥檚 ability to recover and adapt, which results in more catabolism (breakdown) than anabolism (buildup). Once again, clients experience varied levels of fatigue during repeated days and weeks of training, so not all situations can be classified as overtraining. Fatigue that often follows one or more exhaustive training sessions is usually corrected by a few days of rest coupled with a carbohydrate-rich diet. Overtraining on the other hand is characterized by a sudden decline in performance that cannot be remedied by a few days of rest and dietary manipulation.
