Weight of Bones

The skeleton typically accounts for quite a small amount of total body weight. For instance, bone weight in a female of 160 pounds is about 19.2 pounds, while a male who weighs 200 pounds has only about 30 pounds of weight in his bones.



Quick google for me returned the above. Typical that there is no general agreement between different websites lol
 
Technically the gym is obviously liable here however I also make sure the DB's are as tight as possible in between each set to avoid something like this happening to me. So you could say it was a little bit stupid to start a set with them that loose but on the other hand it shouldn't even be a concern.


Yeah poor of the gym but as soon as you pick a DB up you know if its ok to use or needs tightening!

hope the kid is ok though!
 
So it's now Monday and my quads are still tender, things like using stairs take a bit longer as it bloody hurts and cycling to work this morning was interesting, don't think I went over 15mph.
What I'm asking is all this to be expected for the first few weeks of a proper routine?

Do I "MTFU!" and my muscles will just get used to doing these exercises?

Thanks in advance ;)

Welcome to a new world :D
 
So I bumped into Morba at the Gym we now both attend :D We need to hit up a few sessions if you fancy it mate!!

Sick chest session!

Definitely up for a session if we can match times. I was taking advantage of no manager being in today so left work early and got 40 mins cardio in :D
