I feel for you, Sarah. This is something you're going to notice a lot more if you eat higher carbs. For many the pain associated with lifting has a lot to do with the amount of glycogen stored in the muscles. When you LC glycogen is kept very low and consequently pain is minimal (this, however, does not mean you're not working out hard). I had my family and coworkers extremely worried this Winter when I returned to higher carb lifting after a refeed - I could not walk for a few days. Definitely double up on the glutamine and watch form, this is where you could hurt yourself.

Thanks, Red. It never occurred to me they might have it under the counter - that's how I got my last bottle of hydroxycut
Nat, of the very sore shoulders!
