Re: Biceps and Triceps seemed to have dissapeared 12 hours after working out. [Re: tdubz]

"Half-assing it" has less to do with the exercise you choose and more to do with how you choose to approach each exercise.  If someone's dripping sweat and their face is showing intensity then it doesn't matter what machine they're on or what weight they're lifting, they're working.  I can kind of understand the "treadmill is a half-assed workout" comment though, just because that's where a lot of half-ass workout people go... my gym is a cardio theatre full of these people, but for every five people half-assing on the treadmill, there's one guy doing HIIT, and another who's constantly working to improve his mile.  It's all about the mindset of the person using the equipment.

I think anyone can look good jacked, but there's a line between between being "jacked" as in naturally built, and "jacked" where the person is crossing over into mutant territory.  I don't see the point in obsessing over vanity though, if shit ever went down it wouldn't be a matter of who has the best definition, but who's the strongest/fastest, and looks aren't always an honest indicator of either.  Looks are what'll give you pull with the ladies, but if you're hitting the gym regularly you'll start getting respect based on the strength you develop and the increased usefulness you end up providing to others.  Plus if you're a regular gym goer you end up realizing that people who are insanely toned have a different set of values from those who train to be strong and usually aren't as ripped looking... it's all about what you want, really.

Oh, about the OP, yeah your muscles will seem softer once the workout pump starts to fade... use this to encourage, not discourage, yourself.  It's a huge motivator to get back in the gym and stick to a routine to see how much bigger you'll look/feel for that hour or two following each workout... it's really just a sign of what you'll look like if you keep at it, and depending on how far you want to take it, the results can keep coming for a while.

Ah this is the answer I was looking for.

My workouts always end with me out of breath, sweating, and feeling fucking great about myself. I was jus twondering why my muscles always felt soft.

Didn't go to the gym today, but I did three sets of sit-up, three sets of pushups, and a set of planks. Was in a rush to go on a boat ride.

B willing to bet its a combo of over training/undersleeping. Try not to workout too much longer than 45 min or n hr. Studies show overtraining hormones start to come out  about 47min into exercise. Its not how much work you do, its how hard you work

I've been getting 7.5-8.5 hours of sleep per day, and generally a day of rest between working out. Yesterday would've been two days, but I decided to do some situps, pushups, and some planks. I don't feel sore persay today, just like mym uscles are a bit tired so I think I'm going to rest today than gym tomorrow.

I usually workout for an hour total which includes 10-15 minutes of cardio.
