Thread: Working out while sore

If you're that sore, you should probably take another day or so off. If you're sore longer than that, you should take a look at your workout and see if you're using too much volume.

What exactly do you do? How many sets per body part each workout...and you do that 3x a week?

Here's my routine:
MONDAY
3 sets of:
Squats
Decline Bench
Assisted Pull-Ups*
Lunges*
Bent-Over Rows*
2sets of:
Concentration Curl*
Dips
Side lateral raise*
Calf raise (3 sets)

WEDNESDAY
3 sets of:
Plie Squats
flat bench press
row machine
overhead shoulder press
close grip lat pulldowns
2 sets of:
curl
triceps pressdown
front raises
calf raises (3 sets)

FRIDAY
3 sets:
DL
Incline Bench Press
Assisted Wide-Grip Pull-ups
Pushups
Rows
2 sets of:
Hammer Curls
Skull crushers
Rear Delt Raises
Calf raise (3 sets)

I see, I'm not a big fan of the 3x a week idea of training each muscle....in fact I just think it's the flavor of the month.

do an active recovery training session. so basically use 60% of the working loads that you used for the previous training session
