Re: The Fitness Thread
if you start doing exercises after being otherwise inactive its going to hurt
i took a break from sports for a few years then went into track, I couldn't walk for almost two weeks, i almost considered going to the doc for muscle relaxers haha, but your body will adjust quickly . also it takes like 100 squats for me to get sore, unless they're weighted. there's a big diff there. but i literally had to get a doctors note cause i was late to EVERY class since then though, no matter how much exercise I do I don't get to that point. it was a combination of not being limber enough for how much strain I was putting on my muscles and tendons and not giving myself time to recover, cause when i hurt really bad I just kept going. anyways all you can really do is grin and bear it, until you get to a point where the soreness isnt just plain bodily revolt lmao

Re: The Fitness Thread
Yeah, right now just going to devote a week or two to "de-DOMSing" as much as possible. Going in again tomorrow to squat and keep killing my quads until they suck it up and adapt, recover a bit, repeat.
Right now my chest muscles are experiencing DOMS, too, from the benchpress, but I can ignore it because the quads hurt a lot more. I figure it's all just newb-pains that iron their way out with time/repetition. EDIT: Creatine arrived! Woohoo. Now I will pump out a few extra reps and get even more sore. XD XD XD XD Last edited by Reincarnate; 10-2-2012 at 02:46 PM.. |

Re: The Fitness Thread
I like to give my muscles at least 4 days of rest before I work them again.
And I still get DOMS for a lot of exercises, so it never really goes away. It comes down a lot to the intensity of your training though. If you continue to increase training intensity and volume, you will keep getting DOMS. If your muscles adjust to your particular workout, it'll probably go away. Though I find I never get DOMS in my triceps or my lats, but I can get it really bad in my legs and traps, and sometimes chest. Calves I used to get really badly but now I never get it even if I completely change the workout. Seems to be a very individual thing, though I'd get used to it :P

Re: The Fitness Thread
But how on earth do you get around/function/continue to work out/go to work/etc when your quads are completely and utterly fried? lol

But more seriously, I never work the day after legs. I do legs either friday night or saturday. And eventually my 'DOMS' decreased to the point that it's pretty tolerable and more of an aching soreness without any decrease in function. So basically now I just deal with it, since it doesn't prevent me from walking or running. It's just...sore.

Re: The Fitness Thread
Yeah I don't mind being sore. I mind the whole not-being-able-to-walk thing, or not being able to sit down to take a shit without screaming bloody murder, LOL.
In any case I am hoping the debilitating DOMS variant is only a newbie phenomenon. |

Re: The Fitness Thread
Yea, GOOD LUCK!!! Seriously.
On a completely other note, I read that some people's bodies simply don't respond to creatine. I'm starting to fear that I'm one of them. I haven't noticed any difference in time or amount of weights lifted other than the small increases that come with standard lifting. Is this true that some bodies don't respond? side note: I love being sore, it's a great feeling.

After that, I still got pretty damn sore but not to the point of decreased function. Quote:
However, if you really want to know, do you keep a lift log? If so, just stop taking it and go ahead and try one of your big lifts you have logged. Make sure it's the first lift of your routine to keep things fair. If you lose a couple reps, you know it's working. When I tried this for bench press I fell from 9 clean reps to failing on the 7th (and I'm currently progressing at about +1 rep per session).

Re: The Fitness Thread
How do you guys like to take your creatine? Some seem to like mixing it into juice/their protein shake... but I am tempted to just nom the powder + send it all down the hatch with some water. XD

Re: The Fitness Thread
That's how I take it, but other people throw it in their shake. Honestly, it doesn't matter. Just make sure you take it with some food. I also like to take it post workout.

Re: The Fitness Thread
I put the powder in with my protein powder for a good ol' shake. I'll definitely try that log idea. Also, I don't drink the creatine/protein for a good 20-25 mins after lifting. Could that be impacting it as well?
Also, how is creatine not a word in the google chrome dictionary?

Re: The Fitness Thread

Re: The Fitness Thread
lolol SC is cracking me up
Creatine comes with the prewo I use (storm) and then I put 5 grams for intra, then 5 grams post with shake. It's best to take it before and after, imo (and lots of other people). If not for just the pure muscle endurance, there's other stuff as well, like how they think it can erase the effects of a concussion, etc. |

Re: The Fitness Thread
fantastic video tutorial (IMO) on squat grip by Mark Rippetoe:
http://vimeo.com/30763907 Summary: -Thumbs above the bar -Narrow grip -Elbows up at all times, don't let them drop or it'll loosen the upper back -Keep the wrists aligned with your forearm/back of the hand, nice and straight -Keep the weight off the arms/elbows -- on the back only Basically tendonitis is a real common result of the squat because a lot of people apparently hold the bar incorrectly. When you hold onto the bar (esp with thumbs under), you risk flexing your wrists which means much of the load is distributed down the wrist/into the elbow, which is exactly what you don't want. I can finally walk again so today at the gym I am going to, well, squat again and probably render myself immobile for another week. XD XD XD Last edited by Reincarnate; 10-3-2012 at 10:58 AM.. |
