Alright /fit/ so I have been hitting the Gym lately as a step up from working out at home for a few months (started hitting it last week) and I am completely wrecked after working all round over five days (only like an hour session a day, with one day a week off is my plan).
My friend did say I'd be wrecked but I am not recovering as fast as I thought I would. Mainly its my shoulders, triceps and chest that are pretty bad. I have been trying to follow the 1g of protein for a pound of body weight rule in the last two days or so, trying to maximize my protein intake in the last week but I may be missing a few things.
So /fit/ what do? I mean I get take a fuck ton of protein but how the hell can I recover asap?

Yeah, you can't simply start doing heavy 5 times a week. Just take a rest for the first few months. You're not a soldier. Don't break your body before it can take the toll

some people recommend as low as 5sets 5 reps, only twice weekly. you dont want to get too worked too early on in your training.
you can also do 3 workout days, 4 rest days, and change your muscle group every other day

>how can I recover asap?
Protein, sleep, nutrition, avoid abundance of stress hormones.
Three full body workouts for a total beginner are recommended, because they can't get a very hard workout yet.
After that beginner phase it's common to increase the rest days to three after training a muscle group.
Good on you making experiences with how much rest you need, which is obviously more than you have been taking. Just going with an existing workout plan which fits your goals may be advisable though.
