Now today I still can't bend it right and it hurts like a bitch. I think that if I don't move it it'll be worse, even. Any advice on how to treat sore muscles?

bumping for relevance

Ok here's my top three tips.
Eat fucking correctly! If you're a skinny fuck, no amount of training will get you strong or 'buff' without calories to build muscle. If you're a fat fuck, you cannot out exercise your diet. If you keep eating like shit and do shit ton of exercise you'll remain at the same level of fatness.

Chose the right workout. Aka the full body workouts. You only wanna start a split after its no longer possible to progress linearly on your main lift. Otherwise, youre trading short term gains for long term gains.

Don't get too cocky with your weight. While they have to be challenging, don't compromise your form. I fucked up my back doing 2pl8 Deadlift and wasted next year doing fuck all gym. Currently restarting again. Good luck fammo

You're going to be sore as fuck for a while. Do mobility shit before workout and foam roll/stretch after and it won't be bad after a while.

Former skinnyfag here. 190lbs 6'2 relatively lean.

OP your shit is going to hurt bad for the first month or so after every workout when you start taking lifting seriously. Just eat good fucking food, and lots of it, and train chest/back and arms twice a week

OP you can ask me anything if there's anything you want to know

i have no advice being a noob myself but congragulations on taking the first step senpai

i hope you make it

work through the initial body debilitating soreness.

That shit goes away if you keep at it.
