I've been doing S&S for about four months. I've noticed that my trapezius muscles (just below my neck) are often sore when I do S&S two or three days in a row (actually, they're slightly sore almost all the time, and have been since January; they're just slightly more sore after the days I do S&S).
I've experimented with doing just swings or just get-ups for a couple days, and it seems both exercises contribute to the soreness.
If I have muscle soreness from training, should I skip a couple days until the soreness goes away or should I continue to train while waiting for my strength to catch up?
[Maybe I'm training too much at my age: 53 years. I'm doing something almost every day of the week--kettlebells, martial arts, walking, running--and perhaps I should just give myself a few more days of rest. I'm a beginner at this stuff, so it's hard to know what to do.]
