I have a couple of questions about working out. I have been on a diet or I should say simply eating a lot better and running on a treadmill for a few months. I have went from 225 to 197.
I also have started lifting weights. I used to lift so I am not totally dumb to it but do have a few questions.
first question is each time I work a muscle, do I need to do enough reps and weight to where that muscle is sore the next day or two. I am only going to work each muscle once a week for now and may go to every four days later on if I can find the time.
The next question is about muscle groups and over training. If I work biceps one day and chest the next day, would I over train the biceps? Should I skip a day and then do it?
I think I want to do biceps and triceps in the same day. Should I include something else? I have an hour or so for the workout.
What would be something good to work with the pecs?
How often can you work abs? I have moved a lot of the fat away and can almost see them now. case is down to a 12 pack and I have start on those.

muscle soreness is normal in the beginning but should not persist. If it does, it usually means that you are waiting too long between training sessions.
Try adding a very light and very short training session between the 4 or 5 days so as to avoid this soreness.
Just a couple of light sets for each body part will suffice for this purpose.
Better is to set a fixed workout schedule and stick with it. Haphazard schedules never seem to last very long. For sustained progress you need to add the discipline to the exercises.
