quick question on soreness

quick question on soreness...

what does soreness really prove...

if you have two different workouts for the same muscle group and on workout 1 you can get a soreness level of lets say 8 (10 being the most) and workout 2, the week after, you get a soreness level of lets say 5.... does that say you should use workout 1 more often? assuming you do both workouts with same amount of intensity....

Soreness isn't necessary for growth. I think we all chase that feeling, but you can make gains regardless. The only times I get sore now is when I change workouts or get back in the gym after time off. I still love the feeling, though.

P.S. If u wanna be sore, try GoPro's workouts. I've been sore pretty consistently since I've been using it.

Correct.

It's an indicator of micro muscle trauma, you can get sore from deep stretching, it does not mean that hypertrophy will take place.

It's a three week workout. Power, Rep Range, and Shock. Search the forum for it. There's been a few threads already with lots of info. It's the best workout I've done to date.
