Is it ok to workout with sore muscles?

Question

Is it bad to work out when you have sore muscles, i heard that could make them worse but idk, like say right now my triceps are really sore, is it ok to continue my workout routine?

Answer 1

It's not ok to workout sore muscles because your muscles need time to rest so they can build more muscle... So when your sore with like your triceps move on to something else like your biceps... So you muscle's can get stronger by within the time your soreness goes away like around a week or so. you can work out that same muscle again...

well hoped I helped...

Answer 2

Yes, Just make sure you do this every other day for each workout session. Good Luck!

Answer 3

you might be able to but maybe its best just to take a brake and give your muscles a brake I am just guessing tho

Answer 4

Yeah.  It's ok.

I never work the same muscles within 4 days tho.  Gives em time to fully recuperate before goin again.

Answer 5

No actually the best thing is to work out while they are sore. They will heal better and you can gain muscle more easily. Good luck!

Answer 6

yea its fine as long as ur not working the same muscle group 2 days in a row.

Answer 7

no. this means to give it a rest, sore muscles mean that you have overworked your body, if you go and workout again, it will hurt even more, word of advice, stretch before and after you workout, to prevent soreness of the muscles

Answer 8

thats what u r supposed to do.

Answer 9

YES YES YES.... sore muscles is because of lactic acid in your muscles ... when you workout.. you loosen up your muscles.. allowing the acid to travel out of your muscles... thus making you not sore... even if you don't want to work out.. STRETCH... like just wile you are watching tv or somethign...just sit down and stretch... it opens up your muscles and allows for the acid to move... but make sure you stretch before you workout and AFTER... when you are sore... stretching after is a must!
