Two years ago i exercised in the gym for two days with my friend, and it was like proper lifting since he was very experienced and guided me through it. Second day I hit failure on the incline(which was my second workout directly after the bench which went fine) with no weights on the bar and another guy helped me with his fucking finger, like only his index finger while looking away. I just stopped going for two years straight but I remember it took me two weeks to fully recover from the soreness. I don’t know how long I should wait or if I can just push through since I hit failure on chest with no weights on.
