OK, so some of you may have realised that I have been absent for quite some time on here, and a few of you will partially know the reasons behind this.
Long story short, I have just spent the last 2 months in hospital and got discharged a couple of weeks ago.
Whilst I was in there, I managed to put on 20% of my body weight and my BMI went up enough so that I am no longer medically considered underweight.
On top of that, my arms have grown in size and I am now going to the gym for health and leisure reasons.
Anyway, what I want to do is find out what I should/shouldnt be doing at the gym and what I can do to get the most from my workout as I know there are a few gym rats on here.
Main goals: build my muscle back up and keep keep on the weight.
Here are some questions I need some answers to:
At the gym, I can comfortably go 20 reps with a dumbell, but when I come home and use my own dumbells at the same weight, I can barely manage 5.
What the hell is going on?
What exercises can I do to work on my wrist as I have a semi paralyzed hand and very limited wrist movement.
I am currently on a high protein diet - how long before and after should I be eating?
After a good workout, the following day I get DOMS (aching muscles) - should I be resting during this time or should I take rest less often, say every 3 days for example?
