2 months later: still fucking sore as fuck 
โ–ฒ โ–ผ
 Been working out for over 20+ years and thatโ€™s the case. Just means you are doing it right ๐ŸคโœŒ๏ธโœŠ 
 Damnn you think I got lied to just so Iโ€™d get started? Well fuck, it was effective ๐Ÿคฃ

Iโ€™ll make sure I pass on the torch ๐Ÿซก

 Also been lifting for years and still sore.
Hot showers and stretching are the only things that helped

 One way is it stop counting to 10 for your sets, do sets to failure ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ˜Š 
 thatโ€™s what my gym buddy makes me do which is probably why Iโ€™m more sore than normal day in n day out ๐Ÿซ

 Yeah man. Part of working out is having the grit to deal with that type of soreness/tiredness and push thru it and get to new levels. I have more hardware in my lower half than most ikea furniture so i understand the struggle โœŠ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ˜Ž 
 Letโ€™s fucking goooo! ๐Ÿค๐Ÿซก 
 Check your food intake. Meat is essential.

 Howโ€™s the protein % intake? 
 horrible, I havenโ€™t bought any yet 
โ–ฒ โ–ผ
 It doesnโ€™t have to be protein powder/shakes per se, but organic food with high % of protein like egg whites, red meat, chicken, tuna packets, peanut butter, etc. can contribute to your daily protein intake

Implementing more protein can help with your muscle recovery process thus alleviating your muscle soreness. 

And be sure to drink enough water throughout the day to help the body regulate your metabolism! 
 would you recommend whole eggs instead of egg whites if Iโ€™m 150lbs 
โ–ฒ โ–ผ
 If there arenโ€™t any medical concerns or circumstances, absolutely. Iโ€™m 155-160lbs myself and eat 3 whole eggs every other morning

If cholesterol is a concern at your age, get regularly checked with your doctor/PCP every 6-12 months or so just to be on the safe side.

 As a former international athlete - it always hurts the same, you just go faster.

 that's not normal. try doing full body workouts

 oh perhaps gotta stretch it out to relax the tight muscles and tendons.  once i had a trainer help me, using things like the foam roller.  yoga, depending on the type, can also help release tight tendons and stuff.
