Muscle Soreness...

Mr.T · 04-21-2006, 09:55 PM

I know that you are supposed to feel sore a day or two after some potentially heavy lifting, but when should I maybe take a break and for how long? I think I trained triceps Monday or Tuesday and I'm still feeling it today. I can lift through it, but what's best? I don't want to injure myself or anything and I'm just trying to make sure...

your new, it will go away when your body gets used to the punishment!

I usually lift through soreness and go as planned. If performance starts to decrease or I start to feel run down, then I back off. If you are new to lifting then the soreness stays around a lot longer. Of course, my legs always stay sore for days at a time and I've been lifting a few years consistently now. The rest of me doesn't get nearly as sore though.

why do you legs stay sore so long? I worked mine on tuesday and I can still feel slight soreness!

Oh, yes, I forgot to mention that I was starting back again. I was thinking that was maybe one of the reasons. Thanks for the feedback! I'll probably keep lifting as well, except maybe I'll wait on sqauts for a couple of weeks.

If the pain is really strong then just don't lift but if it's just some soreness then i would hit those weights hard.

It all depends on your limits, if you think you can lift through the pain then try it, if youre going to lose form because it hurts too much, then youre only going to do yourself more serious injuries.

And my legs always hurt for days after aswell, especially after full squats. My upper body generally stop hurting the day im supposed to train again. Its like it knows

Yea man those legs get the doms like no other. I always seem sore in the legs on squat days.

**Gazhole** · 04-22-2006, 05:41 AM

Even though it hurts, i find it re-assuring that i've done a good job :P. I would like to be able to sit down without gasping though.

I never feel any DOMS until the next day.

I don't feel DOMs at all anymore. I think a lot has to do not only with your experience but also your work capacity. My body is now very used to maximally exerting itself and doesn't even both to get sore (except on occasion), really. A lot of the movements I do overlap in what is worked and how hard it is worked. For example, my back and legs are worked like hell each and every workout. But I'm so used to it that it really doesn't do much to shock my body anymore.

The type of training one performs has a lot to do with how sore you get as well. The type of training you perform is not conducive to generating feelings of DOMS. Just a thought.

Not that lifting singles can't induce soreness, but it won't to the same degree as someone who performed a total workload larger than that, especially with an emphasized eccentric component.

This is very true.

when im sore, im sore as hell, hurts when is stretch, but when i start pumping and getting warm i dont really feel it, until im done

If it's still a little sore, train it again and the pain will disappear. DOMS will eventually even out and you'll move on without it.
