My chest was sore almost 24/7 through my first blast, painful, but I saw some good growth. Hard to say only a week and half in if your are still progressing or not. Numbers were the only thing that kept me moving forward when my chest was so sore. I kept beating the log book, so I just kept doing what I was doing. I was in a caloric surplus at the time, and doing lots of soft tissue work, so it made a difference.
How much weight have you dropped since you started FT? How's the mirror looking? Lots of folks (including myself) usually recomp through their first blast, despite adding food or making adjustments. First thing that comes to my mind, if you find that you're having trouble progressing, or the soreness is really escalating, is you may need to scale back your cardio. You say LISS, but your log says HR between 130-140, which is MISS. I made this mistake myself, thinking I was doing one, when I was doing another. So that x3 a week, plus legs three times a week might be a little too much for you to recover from. At least until maybe you get a little more used to the frequency.
How are you feeling after doing cardio? Better / worse?
No joint pain just a bit of soreness. Nothing horrible though lol. I'll see if my strength is still solid tomorrow for MR day and of the soreness persists.
Last time I checked weight was down about 2 lbs in the morning. Haven't checked for 2 days. I actually have adjusted my cardio and doing it at about 120-125 bpms more recently, and only doing 45 mind on the treadmill 2x a week. Other cardio work is just walking briskly outside or just walking my dog.
Don't feel much difference after cardio to be honest. About the same!
