muscle soreness

kw33 · 09-19-2003, 08:27 AM

What do you guys do if you ever get bad muscle fatigue or soreness? Even after taking a week or two break I still notice it and I have an elevated CK but the docs say that's just normal from bodybuilding?

I have bad muscle soreness virtually everyday. Work another body part until it's sore then you forget the pain in the first and carry on. seriously 3-4 days between working a body part should be enough to re-coop. Cept for legs they take me about 5 days.

A good week or two break every 3-4 months also will do wonders for body and mind.

I have the opposite "problem." I never get sore. It doesn't matter whether I do heavy weights for low reps, higher reps, forced reps, negatives. . . I never get sore. My training partner and I are about equal in terms of strength, so we do the same routine with the same weights, and he gets sore quite often. Maybe not every single time, but more often than not. I am still making progress, so not getting sore isn't necessarily a problem, but I still wonder whether I would make better gains if I could figure out how to train so that I get some soreness. And BTW, my diet is pretty bad -- very low cals, and often less than 200g protein per day (I weigh 250) -- so I doubt that my lack of soreness can be attributed to a pro-recuperation diet.

1) Post workout carb / protien intake could be low.
b) pre bedtime protien intake low.

2) Viatamin C directly after workout.

3) Stretch out after working out, I love the steam room.

4) Sounds funny, but every couple weeks I go out drinking, for some reason I dump a TON of lactic acid out.. Couple asperin seem to do the same thing, but not as fun.

5) swimming helps with the blood flow and range of motion. I like stretching in the pool too.

6) you could be way overtraining, but you should still be fine after 2 weeks..

7) more stretching.
