№1 is IMO quads, it gets quite hard to walk for long distances when they're truly sore
#2 is definitely abs though, any time you laugh they hurt like hell
Like others have already said, calves. Going up/down the stairs or even just walking is straight up painful.
Biceps are up there too, although I haven't gotten any DOMS there in years.
definitely anywhere in legs, when I first started squatting heavy, the day of my legs were so weak that if I bended them in the slightest I would collapse and needed to grab onto shit to get back up
the next week was pure fricking agony walking anywhere, stairs were much more awful and I took like a full minute to go up and down
imo nothing's coming close to abs and calves. Feels like you're going to get horrible cramps every time you're sitting up in bed or standing up to walk.
I've never gotten neck DOMS because I'm very careful with my neck, but I imagine that's also horrid.
To me atleast it sounds like a rotator cuff injury. I’ve had a shoulder injury that’s given me grief on similar exercises. Avoid shoulder/chest exercises for a week and start doing a solid shoulder stretching routine everyday. You can find heaps on videos on youtube for rotator cuff injuries, try out different stretches and figure out what’s helping. And make sure your form on other exercises that irritate it are on point. Curls and pull downs shouldn’t cause shoulder pain if your form is right. If it isn’t getting better after a week stop training and keep doing the stretching until it’s improving and then go back to training and avoid chest/shoulders. Adding it back in slowly, focusing on form. Once your shoulder goes it’ll never be the same, so take the time to fix it. Solving the injury will be less of a gains goblin than letting it go.
Neck, then lower back for sure. Try doing neck exercises for the first time and see how it feels. Deadlifting for the first time in a long time is brutal too
Any back muscles that aren't your lats.
t. never worked lats
lats are used in almost every single upper body movement in some way.
that's not what he's saying, moron

I'd say hamstrings+quads are up there. not sure which one is worse tho
Quads. Going down stairs ... Sitting standing. Frick.
this. Quads kill me. I might as well be bed ridden.
Neck
Traps are up there with heavy/high rep deadlifts
Quads suck because you cant do normie shit
everything else is bearable
calves are fricking terrible... shoulder was annoying when it came to putting on a shirt.
Quads/calves followed by chest.
How tf you get DOMS in chest? Literally only get sore near the tendon. Still great gains, but wondering
do some fricking flies, crossovers or some shit
impossible not to get them
Only after coming back from injury and no real chest training for a while, fricked me up for a couple of days.
Calf doms are the worst imo, I like chest doms, when you stretch with them it’s the same kind of pain/pleasure of stretching your fingers back.
sphincter
calves
Like others have already said, calves. Going up/down the stairs or even just walking is straight up painful.
Biceps are up there too, although I haven't gotten any DOMS there in years.
I have this weird pain at the top of my shoulders that feels like someone stabbed me.
Abs and neck. Getting up and sitting down becomes a painful experience and there's no comfortable position
definitely anywhere in legs, when I first started squatting heavy, the day of my legs were so weak that if I bended them in the slightest I would collapse and needed to grab onto shit to get back up

serratus. its not even open for debate.

For me? Hamstrings and arms
Most intense: quads
Most annoying: calves, back
I've had stiffness/pain on my right arm's deltoid for weeks now. What should I do about it?
Pain is very mild, occurs when doing a specific range of movement (EG pulling up my pants).
No other abnormal symptoms. No pain at rest, unless I've hit a specific position. No pain or bumps from prodding the area.
It started after I resumed resistance training, but I was doing some really weak-sauce weight lifting. I don't think I've injured myself in any ways.
try doing hangs off a pullup bar after shoulder work
Possibly a minor shoulder or rotator cuff injury. What exercises irritate the pain?
Not 100% sure.
I only did basic push/pull days, so
- Benching
- Tricep/Bicep curls
- Pull down
etc, generic stuff like that.

Got it, thanks for the pointers!

Abs and it isn't even close. Followed by quads.
Definitely abs. I'll be dammed if I do direct ab work, can't cough, can't laugh, can't sit up.
arm pit

Glutes and hams.
Not only does it make both sitting and standing uncomfortable but they are more likely to cramp up something fierce.
Lower body: Hamstrings, can't fully extend your legs.
Upper body: Obliques, can't turn your body.
