I just started training and I have a question, should I always feel soreness the day after working out?
after the first couple of sessions you will but not after your body gets used to working out.
Dyel confirmed. You're obviously not doing progressive overload
Yes. DOMS is a normal part of lifting, especially at the beginning.
Experienced lifters usually don't get it as much though, so you have that to look forward to.
Just plan recovery time into your program and you'll be good.
My problem is that after my third week of training I do not longer feel sore the day after, so i'm wondering if I'm not training hard enough or if it is normal to not feel sore.
Nah that's normal
its normal for it to stop hurting unless you're going like 3 hours with a solely hypertrophy focus
with a strength focus (what you should be doing as a newgains) theres almost no doms ever just fatigue
I'm doing 8 to 10 set per muscle group with the max amount of weight that I can.
ok thats hypertrophy now do that for 2-3 hours and you will get doms
or do less time and still gain lots of muscle with no doms
or do strength training and get lots of muscle and strength with a lot of muscle
doms do not equal growth get that idea out of ur head
Strenght training is a 5x5 and stuff like that right?
.
Depends on the muscle but I think this largely holds. But some muscles have a high capacity for work (eg calves) and need to be hit harder/more often. your three dials for weekly volume are reps/set, sets/day and days/week so I would try to structure it like that
There seems to be some info missing here, what happens if I do exactly 7 reps?
You get zero gains
do not research.
>There seems to be some info missing here, what happens if I do exactly 7 reps?
Anything over 3 reps is cardio, 7 is extra cardio
Your body detects that you are a massive homosexual and nullifies all the gains that you would get
Verification not required.
have a nice day. Everything between 5-30 reps is hypotrophic. Differenet ranges might be more convineint for some people, but pls stop this clickbait dogshit
If you're new this is probably excessive. Your body will grow if you do anything right so you don't need to hammer yourself and cause a lot of systemic fatigue. Just try to add weight to the bar on every exercise every week and when that starts to get hard you can worry more about strength vs hypertrophy programming
i think he meant reps instead of sets but yeah i agree
just up the weight a bit every time by 2.5lb per side (barbell) till u cant then look into routines and programs
>I'm doing 8 to 10 set per muscle group with the max amount of weight that I can
You can't be lifting anywhere close to the max amount of weight you can with 8-10 sets.
The max amount of weight that I feel that will allow me to do 8/10 sets, that's what I meant, I was not clear.
Im 3 months back in the gym. Soreness and fatigue are a constant battle for me, but im 39. For me personally its been all about genuinely brainwashing myself to enjoy the discomfort.
I actually enjoyed feeling soreness, it made me feel like I went hard and that I was progressing.
DOMS is normal at first, later you'll train just as hard or harder and not get sore
it is absolutely not required to grow
its also more related to the novelty of the movement to you and how much the eccentric portion is dominant
more eccentric = more soreness
>should I always feel soreness the day after working out?
It's normal.
>Is it necessary for muscles to grow?
No. Soreness is caused more by connective tissue damage rather than muscles.
I feel more soreness in my tendons. I hadn't given myself a good rubbing for over a week and it was painful. Needed 2 days of rubbing to get back to lifting.
been lifting for 5 weeks and still feel soreness the day after
Get a massage gun/pistol and use the day after. Depending on the bodypart it's going to be a gamechanger.
Yeah it's normal for newbies to experience DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness). Once you get used to things, it'll happen less and less frequently until you sometimes don't feel sore at all. Like I used to feel sore after deadlifts but now I usually don't even feel my back unless I go for a really big PR
