How's it going. After being away from the gym for a few years I started going a few months ago. I've noticed something really strange after my pec workouts over the past few cycles and am wondering if anyone else has ever experienced this one.
I notice that after a few hours of my pec workout, I start to get a subtle flu-like feeling, actually, more muscle achiness associated with the flu. Since going back to the gym, I've incorporated a more structured routine, don't overdo it, and be sure to take a day off after working out 3-4 days on. Nothing out of the ordinary so to speak.
It seems that the symptoms aren't as bad as the previous ones. All I can think of is the lymphatic system flushing a bunch of crap that's accumulated over the years of being away from the gym?
All my other muscle groups are fine with no injury or no similar symptoms. Any suggestions? Oh, and my wife thinks I'm nuts and that it's in my head, just simple muscle soreness for my noodle muscles...haha
