When I started exercising again, I just kinda worked through it. It wasn't as bad as the first time I ever worked out, but I was like okay, I know from experience it gets worse if I stop exercising today to rest, so I will do light exercisis and then stretch when I am warmed up again. Also, warm-ups and cooldowns are VERY IMPORTANT EVERYONE!! Always warm up and cool down. Seriously, especially as a beginner, warm up before and stretch after a workout!

[@michaelanthony4750]

yep. When I workout and then immediately get in my car, the doms is always worse.

I actually really miss DOMS. When I started working out 20 years ago my muscles would get so sore that I couldn't even lift my arms to touch my nose. Even after taking a decade or so off when I restarted my weight training I never got that same level of soreness again. These days it doesn't matter how hard I work or how hard I push myself in the gym, I never get DOMS. :(

[@D_Jilla]

Try a completely different kind of exercise to change up the muscle stimuli!

Dude same. I’ve only been going regularly since December, but I really miss that feeling of being sore. Don’t get me wrong, the pump feels nice but something about being extremely sore after a hard workout just makes you feel like you’re progressing a lot.

I fully agree, i've been working out 5 times a week for the last 3 years and for example i hit triceps twice a week, but every time i try a new patter (overhead push with rope for instamce from last workout) i got so sore in the long head

[@goose7453]

i think DOMS is really good in the beginning actually since it's positive feedback indicationg you did the exercise right.

[@thelegacyofgaming2928]

Not necessarily. As you could be sore in parts that you weren't trying to target, but it is soreness al the same

[@thrash208]

After not going to the gym simce covid and yesterday being my forst day back i feel this on so many levels😂

[@someguyusa]

I switched to a total body calisthenics routine this week after mainly doing zone 2 cardio and weight training, and I feel like I got the crap beat out of me lol. A relatively recent podcast with Andrew Huberman and Andy Galpin noted that DOMS may be due to the immune response post-workout which leads to increased fluid and pressure on the sensory receptors surrounding the muscles. Andy notes that if it were truly just muscle tissue damage causing muscle pain/soreness, then we would expect to feel the DOMS soreness immediately rather than 24-48 hours later as with any other tissue damage. I'm paraphrasing, of course. A key takeaway though was that light exercise is helpful for relieving some DOMS soreness because it causes fluid and nutrients to flow more, and this helps with the pressure and the recovery process which both lend toward a reduction in DOMS. It is also why massage tends to alleviate soreness as well - the manual stimulation causes fluid & nutrient exchange. However, stretching a sore muscle was noted to be the exact opposite of helpful because of the stretch reflex of muscle fiber spindles.

[@baynmunh2759]

Did burpee exercise yesterday COMPLETELY forgot about the soreness that comes after xD my whole body is in pain in every muscle, never knew how much my body was out of shape

[@SaryM29]

It's so frustrating to finally come back to exercising lol I lived the first 17 years of my life without ever being sedentary, but then I stopped for some years. At the time, I was so used to like, everything, that the most amount of time I'd ever be sore for was the day after the exercise, and never extending into the second day. Now when I come back to it I feel it for days on end lol I was always used to wait for it to chill a bit before I went at it again, but I'm realizing that if I am to do that right now, I might as well not even train at all

[@SeboHyatt]

yup. that's how that feels. honestly you're gonna have to probably go easier with your workouts if you're gonna try and avoid it. just to get back into the swing of things, then actually go all out the way you used to once your body realizes you want to commit.

[@ozzygranado1921]

Hey, Ive been watching you for a while and would like to know where you get your scientific research and knowledge from as I would like to start researching myself.

[@drake6800]

I partially disagree, having DOMS is a great indicator you had a good workout. The lack of DOMS does not mean you had a bad workout either. But nobody is going to get DOMS by sitting around, you only get it from putting in work

[@theFriendlyGhst]

I'm going from home workouts to gym workouts so even though I'm not a beginner I'm getting DOMs really bad again cause pretty much every movement I'm doing is different

[@realxistic]

Hi, I started going to the gym in January, clearly a beginner. But what time frame will you stop (or I stop) bring a beginner? A year, 2? More?

[@lucasseuren4180]

The DOMS I had when gyms opened mid-covid (2021) were the worst I ever had from the gym 😅 made the mistake of loading nearly as heave and as much volume as 1.5 yrs earlier Nothing beats the DOMS from running barefoot for the first time though. Even knowing I'd experience DOMS and taking it very easy (ran like 1-2k), I was still in pain for days 😆

[@smile1600]

So ,i have another issue ! I have been training for about 1.5 years now , and for me it started the same . I was experiencing doms and than they happened less and less . But out of no where 1 year in to the gym , doing the same exorcises that i always did i was starting to get very sore , and could not do ppl anymore , since i would be sore the entire week. So i increased the intensity and halfed the volume , and i was fine , but for 3 months now , doms came back and im still doing the same exercises . I am so sore that i cant train a mouscle more than once a week . Should i listen to my body and only train once a week , or should i try to push through the sorness , for sometime , so my body gets used to training more often ?

[@namuhammedrafi2895]

So am i supposed to keep working out with the pain or rest until the pain goes?, what if it hurts really bad , still keep at it?

I have unbearable muscle soreness on my biceps , triceps, and chest… I cannot even drive or open a door or extend my muscles. I literally had to call off from work because I nearly cannot sleep at night!

[@Greg_Chock]

I recently heard Andy Galpin suggest DOMS is more likely caused by localized inflammation (a good thing). If it was primarily muscle damage, wouldn't the pain start immediately after the exercise with no delay?

[@PictureFit]

The answer is mostly, "we don't know for sure." It is true that local inflammation occur. This is in response to exercise-induced muscle damage, and not necessarily the cause of DOMS. However, inflammation is very important in recovery and subsequent adaptation/growth.

[@kensh851]

I remember I got DOMS for days after doing calf raises as a 15 year old

[@graydenhormes5829]

Are we sure doms isnt related to noob gains?

[@shiftgood]

Aww... I was looking forward to learning the science behind it. Anyone know?

[@PictureFit]

I kept it simple, but it all starts with exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD). Exercise itself can disrupt muscle fiber structures, leading to tears, CA2 leakage, and even fiber cell death which are repaired and improved during recovery. The only issue though is that these are largely theories. There's no currently no unified theory on how EIMD and DOMS work.

[@dhoom-z7221]

Sooooo don't go to failure as a beginner, but when you really get into doing those exercises with ease then go to faliure? I gues I will do my exercises for like... one week? Then go to faliure. The fitness industry it feels super under developed for beginners. "Go to flaiure with your exercises!!" But for a beginner that is such a turn off with the doms staying for one week. No one speaks about fitness levels, and in my opinion a good fitness level is better initially than a healthy diet, because good fitness means that your more likely to exercise after recovery, and more likely for you to like exercising since it isn't super freaking difficult.
