Exponential Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 Is it okay to do pushups while your triceps are still sore from wieght lifting? I know triceps get worked out while doing pushups, so I want to make sure it's okay to do pushups while they're sore from wieght lifting.

sansoouser Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 Why don't you do them and see how it feels, there's no formula for everyone. The amateur shoots his hands out ferociously, but lacks any true power. A master is not so flamboyant, but his touch is as heavy as a mountain.
solar_kid Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 I'm not a doctor, but I think it would be fine, as long as you don't get so sore that it's actually painful. I've done it and not had any problem with it. ----Hmm. Hello. This is the floor. How did I get here?
Hudson Posted March 29, 2005 Posted March 29, 2005 Certainly no way of telling for sure, a lot of factors weigh into this sort of thing. Give it a try, you're not going to overtrain if you try it once. Unless you're doing tricep isolation pushups you should be fine. The game of chess is much like a swordfight; you must think before you move.
Mr Pockets Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 Don't lift with a muscle when its sore. Work chest and triceps on the same day if you're having that problem. And just in case this is what you're doing: never lift something like triceps before chest, same for bis before back, shoulders before (whatever), etc.
aefibird Posted April 1, 2005 Posted April 1, 2005 I'm not a doctor or a health professional, but I'd say rest whilst your muscles are sore.Better to be safe than sorry. "Was it really worth it? Only time and death may ever tell..." The Beautiful South - The Rose of My CologneSheffield Steelers!
