soreness

I haven't worked out in at least 6 months and then I didn't do it regularly. I was really trying to do all the reps but never made it. My arms just gave out on me. As in I dropped to the floor and couldn't do another. Did I do to much?

This is so there body gets acustomed to the work out and can get used to the range, motion, and movement, and usualy the weight is light enough where they can't get hurt....i do this for abotu 3 weeks to maybe 4 weeks depending mostly machines too by the way, u need to wrk on ur form and good posture before u really get into weight training i see so many guys and girls that don't know shit what they r doing and wind up hurting them selves -------------- ---andrew.......adversity causes some to break, but others to break records!
