My question is: If I'm still this sore tomorrow for my next upper body day, do I skip it? Working out sore muscles is counterproductive (let alone uncomfortable!), but I'd hate to skip a day so early into my program.

I've never been this sore for this long, so it's never been an issue in my previous BFL attempts.
whenever i ive started a bodyforlife programme in the past ive always given myself 2 weeks of lifting weights before i officially start. this gives you time to get through the muscle soreness before you start.

i was so sore once that when i did cardio i had to stop after 5 mins. now i didnt want to have a 5min cadio day on my official challenge so that why i used it as part of the 2 weeks ''break in period''
