No it will actually help the recovery process. By working out, you get blood flowing into your legs. Blood has nutritients, needed for recovery. The best thing to do when you have sore legs is to train them again. Just do it light, the goal is recovery, not exhausting the legs once again.

Machines forces you into a certain movement path. In real life, this doesn't exist. If you want real life strength: you need to emulate the movement. Shoulder Press Machine < Overhead Press < Log Press < Sandbag Press Machine: movement is fixed Barbell: your body decides how the bar moves...

Listen to sadburger. Weigh yourself weekly & check the mirror. Weight loss can be water.

A barbell & plates. All you need.

Check this book too: The Egoscue Method of Health Through Motion Has been a staple of my rehab/prehab routine for some time now. Helped me get rid of hip/neck pain.

Joe, If you get problems in your knee, the cause is either your ankles or your hips. Inability to keep the knees out is usually sign of weak adductors. Try some monsterwalks with a miniband/light once your knee is back 100% & squat wide. I'll send you a pm.

Kev07, The 30carbs a day is an indirect intake of carbs (from veggies/fruit). Insulin spikes postworkout are not needed on the Anabolic Diet. You're getting a big one in the weekend.

Yes it works. I'm on it, I advise it to everyone who comes to me for strength training advice. 40mins is just what you need. The 3 exercises will stress your body like nothing else. It's easy now, but it will get tough. In a few weeks you'll be glad the 40mins are over. Don't...
