Finally back to working out frequently after two months of being too sick to leave bed or eat, really. I missed it.
I have no idea how people work out at night. I am so energetic afterwards that it's entirely possible I might kick someone in the face. |
Energetic is something you should not feel after working out.
Really push yourself next time and see if you still wanna kick someone in the face. |

I get it even when I'm pushing myself. I feel exhausted for a few minutes, but then I get energetic, happy, and would not be able to sleep. Might have something to do with psychotic body being messed up, who knows. Most things are switched around. |

| It's normal. Exercise releases endorphins which make you feel better. That's why exercise is a great thing to do if you're stressed. |

Thank you, sir. Was feeling like a crazy person for a bit there. |

| There's a difference between feeling better and feeling energetic. The "euphoric post-workout glow" I mentioned is the endorphins, but after a good workout I have rubbery limbs and no energy left at all. Sometimes I can barely lift my arms to make a protein shake. |

| Anyone here ever use adderall when working out? I've had access to it whenever I wanted, and it's always been a huge plus in the motivation dept. Now trying to work out without it is a bit of a challenge. Anyone else been there? |

Definitely, but you should be able to recover to a decent level within an hour or so. If you're so incredibly tired even an hour later, then you're most likely overworking yourself which is detrimental to your health. |

| I always found that having a banana or some other readily digestible nutritious food after a workout brought me back up to speed faster. |

Granted, but again there's a big difference between "recover to a decent level after about an hour" and feeling energetic after a few minutes. Anyone feeling the latter is probably not pushing themselves hard enough.
I remember the first time my friends took me to the gym, I was thinking "Wow, this is pretty strenuous" and we were just doing the warm up. They pushed me to the absolute limit - it was the first time I'd ever worked that hard, harder than I thought I could go. It took me a week to recover from it, with the crippling first-time DOMS, but it completely redefined what my limit actually was. |

Haha! I did shoulders the other day and it was another workout trying to shower. I love that! |

| When I shower after working my arms and/or chest, it is noticeably harder to reach parts of my back. Love that feeling. |

I never used to, and then once I graduated high school (after doing nothing physical at all during it) I decided to start running since I felt my heart and body overall was weak. After doing that for a while I joined a gym and really can't imagine not working out. I even guilt trip myself when I take a week off. Dunno, I just got into it I suppose. |
cool dude.
you should post pics of you running...you know, to show your progress...
