yeah man, take it easy then... once you get the feeling back in them try it again... end your squat work with -50% of what you did last time and build up from there so it doesn't happen againhere2help said:
If i remember you topped out at 200lbs... not sure how many reps.
example for next workout
bar (45lbs) for 8 reps
55 x 8
75 x 8
95 x 8
105 x 8
and see how you feel.

Rows...
Bent over 90* Barbell Row
Start with the bar
and 5lbs at a time and see how it works out. But remember you want to be doing it again soon, so don't kill yourself, lol
throw in some bi and tri stuff at the end sure... I wont' reccomend you bench and shoulder (over head press {OHP}) in the same day yet.
Legs felt good enough this morning to use the eliptical although they're still sore enough that I'm not going to lift legs again tonight.
I've been a little dissapointed with my weightloss this week. I actually GAINED a pound. Granted, my scale's BF% has stayed the same, I was hoping for better results. Hopefully I'll start seeing some after next week.

I wouldn't use the "pop" just starting out yet...stay tight throughout the lift.
Screw the scale and the "BF%" ... scale can not be accurate. You may gain muscle and muscle weighs more than fat... don't worry about that unless you've been gorgeing yourself with candy
How do you feel? Does the mirror say you look better? How do clothes fit (muy importante and a great one to gauge progress)?

Dont get discouraged bro, trust me i know how you feel. Keep up the hard work, it will pay off. Scale is a total mind phuck, try and limit yerself to once a week on the same day at the same time. Stick with it, like sarge says muscle weights more than fat! I felt the same way, in the past my body would dump the weight then build the mass. But this time around its doing both at the same time! I can see myself getting bigger and feel myself getting stronger in my lifts. Find some postives and focus on those, the negitive will only defeat you and get you down! Gotta crawl b4 you walk bro, but in the end the payoff is great and wortht the wait!!!

I'm feeling good so far this week. I did 30mins cardio yesterday morning and lifted for 40 mins (squat, flat bench, barbell row) last night. I didn't overdo my legs this time. While they do have some soreness, I was able to do my normal 30mins/350cal on the eliptical this morning before work. I definately think I'll see some results from this week.
My diet has still be good except I had a cheat day on Sunday.
