If your arms feel like pasta after a workout, does that mean it was a good/effective?

[Cicero]

So I did a bicep and tricep workout and my arms felt like noodles after my workout, 20 minutes later they feel a little shaky. Does that mean it was effective?

[Mortal Coil]

Yes, but if your muscles feel shaky during the workout then you're not making any more progress

[Invincible]

Hell yeah. After my workouts I find myself just sitting in my car for a good 15 minutes before I can even move the wheel again, lol. Don't overdo it or you could be doing more damage to yourself though.

it also takes longr to recover

Yea thats why I eat chicken/meat after when I get home! Lots of protein

[ethan-1997]

yeah that's good means they've been worked out well and are tired. just don't overdo it too hard or else you'll injure yourself

[CanadaRocksEH]

it means that u have depleted the glycogen within ur muscles, hopefully u did an intense enough workout that was the reason for the depletion otherwise ur results wont be as good as u hope, the shakiness is from muscular exhaustion, it pretty much is telling u to give it nutrients so that it can start to repair ur muscles

Ya, it means you really went all out. :)
