Specific Question about lifting while sore...

[SacToSD]

So I'm training under Phil, but figure that I ask him too many questions as it is... so I'd ask you guys. I'm sore these days in my triceps a lot for some reason, and I'm wondering if I should go ahead and do my chest workout today (includes bench press). My lifts always go down when I'm sore, and I don't think I hit the target muscles as well when I can't lift as heavy. Would it be better to take the day off or push through it?

on a positive note, my bench finally went up these last few months after being stalled for years. I guess you could say I want it to keep it that way.

i had a similar problem, phil adjusted my training split accordingly and the problem has ceased. you may want to bug him on this one :-D

you grow when your resting not when your training...hows your diet are you getting enough protein and carbs to recover from your workouts!?

Good question

I currently have him on a no protein diet......but with many small meals spread far apart like every 8 hours.........no carbs except table sugar mixed with 4 ounces of OJ.........6 hours before or after each meal
