Is it normal to continue working out even when your body hurts?

Is it normal to workout 5-6 days in a row after your body hurts from the first few days of working out? Or do you rest or what ?! I'm so confused D: someone please help meee lol

All your feeling is the dom's effect delayed onset muscle soreness just work a different body part everyday so that you don't overwork the sore muscle.

I body build like this

Day 1: Heavy day chest/back

Day 2: Heavy day legs

Day 3: Shoulders/traps

Day 4: Arms

Day 5: Light day chest/back

Day 6: Light day legs

Day 7: Rest day

Just make sure to take plenty of protein, BCAAs and get plenty of rest and you should heal up nicely just find a rotation that suits you so that by the time you get back to the part that was sore its healed up and ready to go.

Typically, it's healthier to work out every other day rather than every day in a row.

You could also just change what you're working out each day though. For instance, focus on arms, shoulders on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and focus on legs on Tuesday and Thursday.

If your body starts hurting though, it's probably a good sign you should take a break. Don't break yourself.

Actually it really just depends on your skill level and what you are doing experienced body builders like myself know what we are doing and the safest way to do it not so experienced people don't and need to be more careful until they know what they are doing.

It is normal & you could do it but if it is too much pain then your body is warning you that you are pushing too much. Do what you can, but try to have rest days so your muscles can rest & heal in time sometimes you tear micro muscle fibers which will result in muscle growth. Remember stay hydrated & eat enough for all of that work.

You work through the pain. IF lighter weights are needed then go ahead, but stopping every time it hurts is a guarantee that you won't get anywhere. Be sure you are stretching before and after your workouts.

If you're going for muscle gain, then working out more actually detriments your muscle growth. For me personally, I keep my workouts to an hour or less for 3 days a week.

It feels like you should be working more to see more noticeable gains, and faster. But yeah, spending time constantly in the gym isn't helping you speed up the process. It's common knowledge in the fitness world that exercise + diet is the best way to go, but that knowledge isn't common outside of regular gym go-ers.

It depends on why you're working out, what type of workouts, and what your goals are.

Soreness when you start a new routine is fairly normal and isn't really an indication of when you should resume.

I workout 4 days a week and take day off between workouts. The most I do is two days in a row is probably not the best.
