Hi, I have not trained for a while and started again monday, Today i want to do weights again but my chest muscles are hurting, Should i still train and push through the pain barrier or would that damage them?

Thanks
 
Yep, I will train everyday, 3 Days just cardio and 2 days weights, Not wanting to build at the moment just looking at losing fat, also is that correct about not training the muscle groups more than once a week as i have read differant on some bodybuilding sites?
 
The only problem is i cannot find anything on those links that say wether it is good or not to train on muscles that are hurt, *** painfull muscles are only painfull because the fibres are trying to stitch back together and wouldnt training them now just rip them more, I have done a few google searches on the muscle pain and it looks like giving the weights a rest until the pain has gone and only concentrating on cardio, i might be wrong though.
 
O.k. a little background on me might help..

I am 27 years old, 5'8" short and as of monday was 320lbs (22st 12Lbs), I have a strange sort of figure, Although i am very overweight i have what i like to call a good natural muscle build and also hold it well, when i tell people how much i weight they never believe me, Now i did start to train about 6 months back but severly damaged my ligemants in my ancle so was unable to train for six months, I only got down to 20st 4lbs but felt a lot better.

I have now found a gym for £25 a month and have sorted it out with my company so i can go to it at my lunch break now it is only round the corner so i get approx 45mins of training, so my routine at the moment is as follows...

MONDAY
15mins Cycle machine (Medium intensity)
15Mins Running machine (doing a 3.5mph walk at the moment)
15Mins Cycle machine (Medium intensity)

TUESDAY
5 Mins Warmup on the cycle machine whilst doing some upper body stretches.
Bench Press Machine:3 Sets of 15 reps (3rd set to failure)
Fly Machine: 3 Sets of 15 reps (3rd set to failure)
Shoulder Press Machine: 3 Sets of 15 reps (3rd set to failure)
Lat Pull Down: 3 Sets of 15 reps (3rd set to failure)
Inverted Fly machine (on back): 3 Sets of 15 reps (3rd set to failure)
Weighted Stomach Crunch Machine: 3 Sets of 15 reps

Free Weights
Seated Dumbell Lifts (both arms at the same time) 3 Sets of 15 reps (3rd set to failure)
21's (Only 2 Sets of these)
Standing Dumbell Lifts (Both arms at the same time) 3 Sets of 15 reps (3rd set to failure)

WEDNESDAY
15mins Cycle machine (Medium intensity)
15Mins Running machine (doing a 3.5mph walk at the moment)
15Mins Cycle machine (Medium intensity)

THURSDAY (SAME AS TUESDAY)

FRIDAY (SAME AS MONDAY AND WEDNESDAY)

Now i have only started this on monday by doing 45mins of cardio and 1hour 15mins Weights and this is why my mucles are suffering, I did train through it today and to be hounest you don't really notice it when your muscles warm up and now they seem to hurt less.

There are 2 supplements i would swear by and they are GABA which aids with sleep and the production of HGH (amongst over things) and also Creatine which helps me intensify my training sessions and also aids in recovery, Now i found both of these when i first started training before my ancle accident and started this week without them but as soon as i startted taking them i noticed many differance's but some people notice none.

Anyway anyone got any advice for a wanna be toned man :)

You seem to be only training about 50% of your muscles

I knew that was going to mendtioned, I do do my upper back but am going to have to put in deadlifts for lower back, Also legs and butt are done when on the bike and walking machine, i am not really trying to build much yet just tone and lose weight.
