DOMS you faggot read the shticky

it's called DOMS. it's what the muscles do when they're waking up. it'll pass, and you won't have it nearly as much in the future.

do you stretch everything b4 and after lifting?

>>41878851

no...

fuck

Stretching doesn't really help DOMS.
You don't have to do anything about it. Just lift, and then the break-in period passes and it's over.

I hope it will alot of time that

>>41878871
read the sticky, keep yourself loose and limber throughout the workout and stretch your entire body before you lift and once youre done. that'll help a lot, you'll still get DOMs but not as bad.

*it will not take alot

>>41878871
It's not that important, and likely not the cause of your issue.

>>41878905
you're probably right, my evidence is purely anecdotal but i find it helps.

Sweet old DOMS

Does anyone ever contemplate taking a short break from the gym just to feel DOMS again?

Because I do.
