Take plenty of protein and creatine. And don't forget to rest.

It’s crazy how much we can keep pent up inside, and sometimes we’re not aware of how much is actually there until we allow safe passage for it to flow.

The hurt sucks but it’s so good for the body. It’s the echo of the strengthening that’s being forced under the surface and I find myself shaking my head and even laughing when I do everyday tasks afterwards like reach for something or walk up a few stairs.

You obviously don’t need to hear this, but I’m proud of you, man. Seriously. You’re taking care of your mind and body by diving into the workouts and maybe healing the ole heart in the process as well. Not everyone has the umph to even bother.

Cherokeepatti turned me on to CLA, or Conjugated Linoleic Acid, which REALLY helps pulled muscles!!! Get some! Try it!
