Question about working out.?
I use this exercise equipment http://www.fit-shop.com/fitness-exercise-equipment/gyms/tuffstuff-apollo-5-home-gym.asp . I am doing different exercizes, just a little bit of everything. I do about 6-7 curls, stop, do about 6-7 lat pull downs, stop, do 4-5 seated mid-rows, stop, do about 7-8 floor mid-rows, stop, then i do some of the arm cross over exercizes with the pully. I do all of these with the most amount of weight i can do and low reps because i want muscle. Now, I just did this exercize a few times yesterday and today I am not sore at all, should I work out again? If im not sore are my muscles still rebuilding?
Well, if you want to build muscle, you aren’t doing enough. The heavy weight is correct, but you should do at least 4 sets of 6-8 reps for each body part. Also, proper form is a MUST! Also, how is your diet? You should be getting at least 1-1 1/2 grams of protein per pound of body weight and about 4 grams of carbs per lb. This should be broken into 5-6 small meals per day. Bodybuilding is 60% nutrition, some say even more than that. http://www.bodybuilding.com/ has all the information that you will ever need to do it the RIGHT way.
Good luck, and stick with it. You should start to see results in about 4 weeks.

the way that u know u are getting a good workout, is if ur sore in the morning, u are obviously not getting a good workout, and need to find a better routine. if this works, then after a while, u may wake up again to find that u ain’t sore, and u need to make it harder still. what that is is progress, when u get bettr, certain things get easier.
