Today is my workout day. I am doing this workout. I don’t know from the past week and I do today. I am supposed to work out, but my right is hurting like hell and after starting two days before I took my protein and I got food, but I don’t think my bicep is healing Good. It is pain since yesterday should work today or should I skip and still take protein protein, soy protein isolate from qazprotein, vegan, and its with chocolate hazelnut flavoured
Based on what you've described, here's my straightforward take:
Skip the bicep workout today. Here's why:
What's likely happening
You started working out, took protein, then felt bicep pain that has persisted since yesterday. This sounds like DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) or possibly a minor muscle strain. Either way, training a muscle that is still in pain - especially after only 2 days - is counterproductive and risks actual injury.
Should you work out today?
If it's just soreness (dull, achy, stiff): You could do a light workout on other muscle groups (legs, core) but skip biceps entirely until the pain is gone.
If it's sharp, stabbing, or localized pain: Rest completely. Sharp pain = potential strain or tear. Do not train through that.
Key rules for muscle recovery:
- Muscles grow during rest, not during the workout itself
- Working a sore/injured muscle before it heals = setback, not progress
- 48-72 hours minimum rest between working the same muscle group is standard
- Pain lasting more than 2-3 days after training warrants extra caution
About your soy protein isolate (QazProtein, chocolate hazelnut)
Yes, keep taking your protein even on rest days. Here's why:
- Muscle repair happens on rest days - your body needs amino acids to rebuild
- Soy protein isolate is a complete protein (has all essential amino acids) and is fine for muscle recovery
- Take it as usual - around the same time you normally would (post-workout timing matters less on rest days; total daily protein matters more)
- Aim for 1.6-2.2g of protein per kg of bodyweight per day for muscle building/repair
Bottom line
| Do it? | |
|---|---|
| Work out biceps today | No |
| Work out other muscles (legs/core) | Only if no sharp pain elsewhere |
| Take your soy protein | Yes, definitely |
| Resume bicep training | When pain is fully gone (likely 1-2 more days) |
If the pain is still there after 4-5 days, see a doctor - it could be a minor strain that needs proper attention.
