I have been lifting for three years now...I have competed for the past two years and have have trouble getting back into the groove. Every time i work out it seems that I get aches and pains in various areas. Now when I go into the gym this pain dissappears as I am loosened up and get myself moving..however it never fails..about three hours after my workout my muscles get really tight in certain areas. (middle back, rear shoulders, deep armpits) It is very discouraging and I would like to continue with bodybuilding but this problem has been hindering me for the past year and half. Physio, massage, and joint supplements work temporarily but just dont seem to do the trick..any other suggestions to the reason behind this chronic problem?
