I worked my triceps 4 days ago and they are still so sore like I’m just now finally able to lift my arms above my head without them hurting a whole lot.  It’s been a few weeks since I worked my triceps so I know that is part of it but still.  I did extensions, kickbacks, pressdowns, and dips.  I did 3 sets of 15 reps at low weight anywhere from 10-15lbs (free weights and machines).  I don’t understand why I am so painful.  Any tips or ideas?  I’m gonna be working on my triceps this week, and this is my heavy weight, low reps week so if I can avoid this amount of soreness I’d greatly appreciate it.  Thanks

So I amped up the cardio and I hate cardio and I have gained 3lbs, for something that is supposed to be so good.  Ugh healthy eating and exercise and not a single change in measurements and the pounds just keep going up or staying the same.  I know it’s only been a week since I started doing more cardio but still.  In case anyone wants to know what I’m doing for cardio 30 mins on the treadmill (run for 3mins, walk for 1min-trying to increase how long I can run), 1-2 hrs of pole or chair dancing (cardio that’s actually fun), or 10-15mins sprinting.  I’m not giving up but it’s like after busting your butt after an 11hr work day to go to the gym for 1-1.5 hrs you want to see something worth continuing instead what I see is worth giving up.  These are the times where I can find no motivation…no results…visually or in the measurements/scale, why keep doing this.

So today is the second day that I have gone to the gym and the people up front are chowing down on McDonalds filling the lobby with the smell of burgers and french fries.  All I can think is omg are you kidding me.  Where does eating McDonalds food and motivating people to be healthy and fit co-mingle!?  No where, if so your favorite bodybuilding hottie would have a Big Mac, fries, and a McFlurry on there diet menu.  I don’t know why it is irritating me so much but it’s like why in the gym of all places where people are busting there butt to fight the battle of the bulge are you as an employee eating junk.  So that is my rant, I’m done I’d love to hear/read other people’s thoughts on this.
