Rep Power: 7 | | | 2 hours is a long time weight training at the gym. You did just start lifting about a month ago, however the soreness typically subsides by now. What do you do at the gym?
By the way, you should work your lower body too.

Rep Power: 15 | | | sounds like you are overtraining. 3x20 is a bit high. 3x10 is more than enough
You should consider doing free weights instead of machines, they are a much better workout and force you to workout muscles that arent when you use a machine.
You should work on a more structured program instead of "every machine in the gym"

I agree with junkfoodbad, you should decrease the number of reps (and increase the weight). We should definitely get you on free weights too.

Rep Power: 6 | |  I stay sore too
I have the same problem with soreness lasting longer than I expect. I do two whole body workouts a week, but it's more like a workout every five days due to soreness.
I do one set of a dozen excercises, to failure in the 8-12 rep range.
I see where three workouts per week are often recomended, but there is just no way!
Should I back off going to failure, so I can do more sessions per week, or stay heavy duty, but less often?
I could use the guidence. |

Rep Power: 15 | | | Those of you who stay sore...
What do you guys do for a living, do you have a very physically demanding job where you might be doing a lot of heavy lifting?

Rep Power: 6 | | | I do not. I'm an office type, but am turning 50 soon, and also near the end of a massive weight loss effort (2 1/2yrs & 88 lbs down).
Think it may be my age? |

Rep Power: 15 | | | that is a strong possibility. I cant say for sure though. Im not too familiar with the effects of weight training as you age though.

Rep Power: 6 | | | The soreness I get is the "good" kind, not like an injury, but recovery is just sooo slow!
I can deal with how it's been, but would not mind trying to be more efficient with my efforts. |

Rep Power: 15 | | | Are you getting enough protein to rebuild the muscles during recovery?

Rep Power: 6 | | | yes I'm sure. I practice a low carb high protein lifestyle. By low carb, I mean I mainly just avoid the worst stuff (sugar, white bread and rice). I get about 100gm a day or a little more.
I know if I cut carbs too far, I see my workout performance slip. |
