My Gym Question, feel the burn!!! question for athletes Options

[Trekker]

Since I was 12 I was basically forced to go to the gym since I was allready than 6'1 and had to go to the hospital since my back gave out, and physiotherapy.. SUCKED!!! Come from a line of tall people... Fifteen pounds of resistance a couple times a day with some band wouldn't do anyone any good so I started going to a gym...

Now im 13 6'4 and im starting to like it, and I really just like going there now to get stronger!!!

My question is, how long are you supposed to hurt after you workout?!? I've been for two weeks now, and I want to hear how you repair and some comments or what you think is happening to me.

So I got my membership renewed (have not been going for a month or so) and started working very much over the pace I would have if I never took a break going to the gym,

Now since its summer and busy I could only get a few exercises in that hour

bicep curls - 65 << I HATE working my biceps, it feels WEIRD to get the burn there

tricept down things - 130

trap push down - 140

pec fly - 250 (all the teenagers hog the bench upstairs with two 25 kg weights on each end... lol for them)

back machine - 120 or so (crappy back)

back pull down things (sorry I don't know the name of the machines... this is what the exercise does though ) - 140

and the trap pull downs on the smith machine with the rope - 120

I don't gradually increase or reduce the weight, I just do as many as I can twice in one sitting, and when I get tired I hold the weight when I pull it down untill my arms give out. But I think that was the hardest i've ever worked out in one day.

It's been TWO WEEKS!!! I have not gone to the gym (summer events) since, and i'm STILL hurting!!! Not really hurting as it is the feeling of you've just gone to the gym after one day. The muscle has completely swelled down, just hurts when I stretch from the point here. Is it because im young? Has this happened to you?? Looking forward for responses from athletic / knowledgeable people.

And if someone does go to the gym, how big is your bicep flexed?? I'm allmost up to 17' (im 16' and a half allready no joke lol)

I AM 13!!! I will start posting my pics if you guy's wanna see them, and yes a 13 year old with 16 inch biceps

THANK YOU!!! sorry about the long post hope you didn't read it all

I WILL RESPOND BACK!!

And hey, im James, im new to the board :D!
