Soreness?

benny_bear83 Posts: 31 Joined: 2007/03/12	2007/05/02, 12:31 AM I was just wondering if my muscles aren't sore the days after I work out, are they still growing?

Do a fitbuddy search for DOMS or Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness. t -------------- I see the words you are typing, but all I read is *click*click*click* - One should not lift like a man or a woman, lift like a human.
