I haven't missed a session yet but I took sick (cold, chesty cough) and am taking medication for the infection. Today is Monday, and I couldn't have gone today anyway...national holiday. Realistically, I can go Wednesday and miss one workout. Given that I'm recovering from my cold as well, could I do as normal, i.e. increase loading parameters but maybe only slightly? And warm up more in the beginning as well? Will I be able to get through the workout without severe DOMS the next day? Every time in my life that I have started a physically robust activity, I have screwed myself over by shrugging my shoulders as soon as I get a little sick and slacking. I really, really don't want that to happen this time. Obviously I won't go/push myself if I have a fever/extreme weakness, but I should be ok otherwise? | ||

I had no idea how much weight I should be starting with. Maybe I overdid it or something as for the week since my arms have been aching like mad. They're only now feeling mostly better, still a little stiff in certain positions. Surely it shouldn't take a week to feel better. Is it just that I overdid it? I've never really done any sports or working out, so maybe it's just my muscles (or lack thereof) just getting used to it. I also didn't stretch or anything, I googled around but I can't find somewhere where they list some good arm stretches etc to do after a workout. Anyone got some information on that? Sorry if these are stupid questions, but this is all completely new to me  | ||

I use myfitnesspal, most of this forum uses fitday, I know there are others out there. Also, myfitnesspal has a smartphone app that comes in very handy if you happen to have one of those. Much easier to add things when the food is right in front of you, than it is when you have to recall later what you just ate. | ||

There's this packet coffee, it's called Mac Coffee. I never paid attention to the nutrition facts until now but I'm a little bit confused. The packet is is only 86 calories but it contains 68 grams of sugar. How the hell does that even work? At the end of the day, most of the stuff we eat gets turned into energy right, so if I wanted to burn off this coffee would i have to do 86 calories worth of work or more because of the sugar? In either case, this will be my last time drinking this since it's trash and I don't even like coffee. But was just curious anyway. | ||

Check the nutritional label next time to make sure there hasn't been any sugar added to it. Most instant coffee is pretty garbage anyways imo. Burr grinder + french press = delicious | ||

But was just curious anyway. thats clearly wrong check how calories are counted on google and you'll know that anything with 68g of sugar will have at least 272 calories edit- I meant just that the information is wrong, not that you believed for a sec that it was correct hehe | ||
