I am in Day 2 of DOMs, missing my weights

light speedy lifting or rest ?

and

should I maintain my workout calorie/nutrition rate or reduce ? dun wann excessive FAT

newbie? doms is normal for newbie...sometimes can last up to 1 week.

pairing up my workout with nutrition (and supps) for the first time.

been lifting for a loooooooooooooooooooooong time unregimented workouts.

do you have experience in relevance to the question friend ?

max number of days with DOMs for me has on average lasting up to 3 days. Never a week. unless I am so unlucky as to get stuck in a 72 hour shift (last time lah). I would be like a zombie for weeks after.


thanks for your contribution dude

My leg DOMS can last up to 5 or 6 days max. Pretty usual, cuz I hit them really hard. Pecs would give me a day or 2 of soreness but other then that naw. Your protein helps in recovery, guess sometimes I don't have enough of that. Varies for different people anyway.

my chest has been sore for 4 days!
last workout i just added lil bit more weight.
sore...but i like it. lol

nah, it is just you not train your leg so frequently, try it, hit the leg as hard as you 3 time a week, the soreness is minimal
if train once a week, the soreness last at least 3-5 day lol

I train every body part once a week anyway. Unless you count like when I'm doing pecs then indirectly working shoulders then yeah.

well, i'm not saying that you is newbie. pardon me if you felt offended but thats what happen to me when i started working out. right now, the doms just come and go or didn't come at all.

no pain no gain

ha..probably stuff like scivation xtend will help..
im not sure but it does claim speed up recovery..
well at least i think most of us agree is get protein..
i will get bcaa critruline malate to increase the recovery process as well..
just a thought btw..

I train every body part once a week too & normally the soreness last at least 2-3 days only.. if not, i'll increase my protein intake & multivit... still learning bout how body recover & try to understand it..

thanks guys. day 3 about 90% recovery gonna LIFT!

Shah_15 no worries, I hate lifting because it usually brings my aggression levels up (testosterone).

now, should I or should I not invest in a bench

I still train even with DOMS. Sometimes all I need is to just stretch here and there and I'll feel brand new. But, really, different people, different strokes.

im new here. btw wat is DOMs
