Working Out When Sore
If I have had a day to rest but my legs are still sore, is it okay to work out? I CAN work out, I am not in an extreme amount of pain but I am still dubious about working body parts that are sore because I feel like its their way or saying they need more rest. What do you gainers usually do? Thanks!!!
