Question: I started resistance training last night. Lunges, squats, calf raises, sit ups etc. In the past when I have recommenced such work the following day is hell. Walking up and specially down stairs is a killer. I worked hard last night. "felt the burn", stretched big time, drank plenty of water. I was tender right after the work out (that has NEVER happened before) and I was worried that since I was so tender RIGHT after, what was today going to be like *ouch*. It turns out its better. I managed a 35 minute workout this morning (aerobic), the stairs were no problem, I can feel that i've worked out, dont get me wrong. But I dont HURT. Does it make sense that because I am now eating 3 or 4 times more protein than I did when I was on low fat that the process has accelerated?

Just curious.

thx,
Nat
