Anyone been out of shape, lucky enough to be semi muscular and trim, but still out of shape?

Question

Well, I have absolutely no problems training for running, but it's been forever since I've actually worked out from the waist up.

For about 1-2 months, I was doing 100-150 pushups with those little things with handles that make pushups more ergonomically comfortable. Stopped for a month. Been prescribed cyioponate (sp?) roids, so I figure I'd take advantage of it

.

Can always train myself to run 10+ a day later....Wamt to do a marathon by Summer, so I have to start training by at least X-Mas. $OC$ gave some great suggestions for training distance.

Anyway, has anyone ever felt pain/soreness right under their lowest ribs. The pushups are getting my abs tight as hell, since I do tghem the proper way, and arms doing ok (bigger). Oh yeah, my chest is sore as shit. I guess my whole torso is sore....

Any ideas?

Get dumbells, figure a couple 25 lb-ers, and a curlbar. can't recall where I lost my other one.

Suggestions?

I'm so sore, I have to get up from a laying down position sideways.

Yeah, I used to work out, so any sincere suggestions, I'll be litterate about it.......

Thanks guys.......Can't help thinking that I probably need a trainer. Taking protein powder and "super food".

Wish one of the "fit" guys where down here near me in Sarasota......

Dude, the 25lb-ers, and doing the gas powered log method is one that works.

I've gotta go less and with a curl bar with (I can't recall how much weight)...and do the grab the bar and raise , arms straight out, up to just above the head. I racall that building your shoulders quick as heck.

Sugar, I saw your note and just getting to it.........

You're a good guy bubba....

I don&#x27;t even know how much weights cost? My ez-curl in my 20s cost around $50. (20 yrs ago)I hope I don&#x27;t have to pay a buck a pound for 50lbs of lead.

Dude what is your recovery time? That&#x27;s some serious work on that muscle group. If you are doing those every day, maybe try every other day. I reached a plateau but once I gave each muscle group two days recovery time that seemed to get me results again. Just a thought.

Sugar, I can&#x27;t do that every day and three rereps. You know y one where you have your arms out and spread them all the way out like a butterfly? I couldn&#x27;t do those ith 25lbs right now. No way. No remotely afraid to admit it.I need another excurl bar, because you can do alot with that. One I really like is putting biut hands  about a foot apart and slowly lifting (I can&#x27;t recall how much weight) hold the bar at your waist, and slowly raise the bar arms outstretched, but do it slow. Great for your shoulders for one thingbamong others,,,,,,,,,.Thats all I can type now. Talk at ya in a few.See ya Sugsar Ray......
