Wow! Very sore after LIHI Back shoulder biceps

[carolmcf]

I have done this LIHI about 6 other times, but on most, did not do finishers or just did two muscle groups of the three. Two days ago, I completed the entire LIHIBSB with finishers and tried to do the weights to failure. I was incredibly sore afterwards! The whole ribcage, abs, chest and triceps (not targets in this workout) were sore in addition to the expected back and biceps. I think as I got tired with the numbers of reps, I started pulling in anything that would help. The finishers really are finishers, I finally realized, and make the difference in the effectiveness of the program! I am an older person, and the whole trunk back and front really need to fight that awful aging sag! So I think this is a go to program I will go to more!

I felt more sore after the chest, tri's , and shoulders. I could barely lift my arms to wash my hair that evening. I love the finishers too.

I haven't gone completely max on chest, tri, and shoulders yet, but know that will happen to me too! There are so many sets in a row, I just can't keep up the same weights. I am working harder on being less wimp!

I don't always go as heavy as Cathe, I am lighter on my triceps and shoulders. I also cannot do all of those pushups on my toes and I cannot do all of the tricep pushups. So don't worry, do what you can and be proud of that, it doesn't make you a wimp. Best of luck!!!
