Working out

[Hushy]

i think aching just means your working them good

ive got had any injurys yet but my friend really hurt his back doing weights, he was in pain for nearly a week

[Aidenn]

shin splints??? that sounds nasty!

I just get aching of the bicep and arm/shoulder. Plus i tore my shoulder before :[

Its basically a build up of muscle tension in your shin area, best way i can describe is that it feels like your muscles are closing in on your leg bone and it feels like its going to break .

But it can be caused by the majority of things such as running, swimming, jumping, cycling, even something such as walking for a long distance/couple of miles can give you it.

EDIT; Aching is often good;

No pain, no game

I havent heard of that saying before so excuse me if i interprit it wrong.

Im guessing you mean push yourself till you physically + mentally cant do anymore?

If so thats genuinly your best bet, your always bound to improve, best of luck with your workout(s) Zak, +rep x

[Zak]

yes yes, I always push myself, there's no point in working out if you don't.

there's likely to be another thread a couple of months down the line with more progress .. best of luck with ur workouts too aiden!

I workout every other day in my basement with all the equipment I have.

I don't do much muscle work (eg. weights), do a lot of running and biking though. Also a strong swimmer.

Go down my local gym 3/4 times a week.

Whoever said aching is good, no. DOMS goes away after the first few months, it comes back slightly when your pushing really heavy weights like 200kg squat, 200kg dead, 100kg bench and stuff but no it goes away after the first few months.
Secondly, isolation exercises (curls) and targeting singular muscle groups sucks. Do compound exercises to build muscle. These are squat, deadlift, bench, overhead press, pulldowns etc.
