That DOMS feeling...

Volume day yesterday so everything is dying today.

Anyone else enjoy tensing then untensing muscles with really bad DOMS? It's oddly satisfying...

Ha I said this the other day in the mbsfm. I'm getting used to squats now so no doms. Makes me sad.

I got DOMS for the first few weeks of working out but these days I don't get any unless I switch up my exercises.
I never get DOMS :frown:

That would depend on what your goals have been and what you're wanting achieve.

I want bigger arms, shoulders and chest.

How should I lift?
Once my DOMS was so bad after chest day I went to A+E.

Squats, deadlift, bench are a must. These 3 are the main factors for releasing growth hormones for your whole body.

I don't squat or deadlift. I've read that squats are bad for the knees and deadlifting can injure the lower back, so I avoid them.

Not if you lift correctly. It;s a giant myth that if you go near a squat or dead that you'll crumble and die. Lift correctly (get a qualified trainer to show you how) and reap the gains.

Personally, to start with I would check out 5x5 Stronglifts. It's simple but effective. But make sure to ask for help in squatting and deadlift. You can really hurt yourself if you lift incorrectly.

You don't need it. Just feels good that's all. As long as you're improving you're good. I got huge doms on chest once. And I didn't improve on that exercise

I love DOMS. It's my favourite part of this whole workout business. :smile:

I seem to have endless PRSOM for Scoobie

I don't get DOMS either. I had it for a few weeks after not lifting and it was the brutal can't walk down stairs kind. It's gone now and I don't miss it
I've had DOMS this week after not really squatting in the buildup to my competition last week. The started this week with a new programme and did triples at 85 on Monday and a doubles up to 100kg on Wednesday. Mmm DOMS.
Got som lat DOMS too, because I've been doing a bit of snatch-grip pressing.
