Are you going to failure in your sets? Squeezing and stretching muscles during sets? There can be many factors, but generally if you train with intensity and proper form.. you should be slightly sore after your workouts.-------------- .o0 Arnold 0o...o0 theaustrianoak@hotmail.com 0o. |

IF you are changing weekly, u cant be developing muscular coordination. Dont change for 1 month. Thats what I do .And yes, like Arnold said, do proper form, and go SLOWER on your reps. 4 seconds for 1 complete rep, then tell me u cant feel that burn baby. |

Many people are still under the impression that DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) is an indication of a workout being very productive. This kind of after effect will get you results, but it will also extend the recovery time after a workout. This means it will take longer for you to be able to work that muscle again. It has been proven scientifically that DOMS is not needed to get great results. I personally have proven with my personal progress and with many of my clients and competitive bodybuilders that I have trained that great progress can be achieved without any pain after workouts. Once you induce delayed onset muscle soreness at a specific exercise intensity, you shouldn't experience that sensation again until intensity is increased. This is because delayed muscle soreness has been shown to produce a rapid adaptation response, which means that the muscles adapt to an exercise intensity. Until it is changed, soreness won't occur. DOMS is thought to be a result of microscopic tearing of the muscle fibers. The amount of tearing (and soreness) depends on how hard and how long you exercise and what type of exercise you do. Activities that require muscles to forcefully contract while they are lengthening ("eccentric") seem to cause the most soreness. You use eccentric contractions when you descend stairs, run downhill, lower a weight, or perform the downward motion of squats and push-ups, etc. Changing to a different program or implementing a different exercise in an exercise program can also bring on DOMS. In addition to muscle tearing, swelling can ocur in and around a muscle, which can also cause soreness hours later. This is the basis for the most widely recommended approach to preventing delayed muscle soreness: Gradual progression and conservative increases in intensity, frequency or duration. Preliminary light exercise and stretching after a workout may prevent the onset of soreness following a heavy eccentric-exercise workout. Already-conditioned exercisers who want to try a new workout or sport also should begin gradually, taking care not to be overzealous. I hope this information can help. |
