Just had my micrsostructure exam and I think it went pretty well. Today I will enjoy some rest (no exercise) and get back to eating 16 blocks with single fats. I think this will be a rough day because all of a sudden the fats that were giving me the wonderful full feeling, are gone.
I am also experiencing DOMS or Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness. This isn't because of the high lactic acid cencentrations I endured during yesterdays FGB, and its not because of a possible acid-base imbalance in my fat-ridden diet. No DOMS is due to microdamage in the myofibrils of my muscles. Whenever we workout and lift something that we are not used to our bodies take of this stress and incur some slight damage. Luckily this is a good thing because just a the micro damage can occur, so can the repair. This is a compensatory mechanism as our repair themselves to take on the same workout, load, or challenge. Also this is basically how we put on muscle or our muscles swell up. The more damage the fibers incur the more likely they will grow back larger than prior to their damaged state.
So all that being said I welcome my soreness. Right now I am going to have a pear and 2 cheese sticks and then read about the wonderful world of gene applification (boooo).
Any questions, comments, concerns or criticisms are gladly welcomed!
