QUOTE(bobohead1988 @ Jan 31 2012, 04:12 PM) So basically I stopped going to gym for 3 months+ due to college work and now going back to gym Every routine has been shot to hell ( cant even pull up more than twice ) As the day go by and tomorrow comes soreness sets in and its pretty normal. Today is the second day and its still sore and I am afraid it will go on to the third Is there anyway to help ease the muscle or to speed up its recovery? Usually DOMS, for me at least, lasts three to four days. Are you hitting the same muscle groups every time you go to gym? Try a split so your muscles get to rest even though its more than three days. As for faster recovery, eat more, and sleep more. Make sure to get adequate protein especially.

QUOTE(bobohead1988 @ Jan 31 2012, 04:53 PM) bicep/squat/lats and next day tricep/bench/deadlift anyway thanks for the advice Benching and deadlifting on the same day? Its good you're doing the big three but that split imo is suboptimal. Your lower back ain't gonna recover fast enough from your squats to do deadlifts. Doing lats and then deadlifts the next day isn't optimal either. Squats isn't enough for legs. No delt workout? You only workout twice a week?

QUOTE(-Dan @ Jan 31 2012, 05:50 PM) Stuff like barbell/dumbbell shoulder presses, lateral raises, etc for delts. And for splits, it means training a certain muscle on different days. And example of a 3-day split could be something like chest & bis / legs & shoulders / back & tris, with a day or two of rest in between workouts. Agreed. Following thrbexample dan gave, you can do bench on chest days, squats on leg days and deadlifts on back days. My routine is similar to that, only diff is i do legs and delts on different days, and clump delt with arms

QUOTE(kicksense @ Jan 31 2012, 11:07 PM) Sorry if i interupt ur discussion. If i only felt sore for a few hour after weight training then it's gone, is my workout are not heavy enough? weight too light mybe? but i sweat like hell already. And no strength to lift anymore. Workout SL 5x5. i dunno man, but if you yourself think the weights you're carrying are too light you should probably add on more. and sweating like hell does not equal hard work. one guy in my gym barely breaks a sweat and he's intense as hell. i on the other hand am drenched all over and i take long rest periods.
