Always Get DOMS

    Hi
    I get really bad DOMS (Delayed onset muscle soreness) after every workout for about 2-3 days. So much so that I can bearly walk up the stairs. It is really impeading on my workouts too, I only feel up to training every 5 days because of it. Been lifting weights for about 10 months now. Strech before and after a workout and shower after. Is their anything else I can do to reduce/stop it or are some people more prone to it than others?

    That doesn't sound right at all.

    What does your work out consist of?

    Well for example yesterday I just did 3 routines, Squats, Bench and Curls.
    I do 5 sets, 1 x warm up, 3 x heavy train, 1 x burn out to failure.
    I eat every 3 hours and always have at least 30 grams of protein with each meal. Any ideas?

    I guess a quick fix could be getting something like RAM to help recovery?

    Noted but why? Could this be the culprit?

    I have a poster that has a list of them on it, cant list them all but there pretty comprehensive I follow them all before and after workout, well I do the past few months to try and reduce the DOMS.

    I was having awful trouble with the DOMS in my legs for a few months. I'd do squats and stiff legged deads and every movement I made (getting outta bed, getting into the shower, moving off the couch) for four to five days after would hurt like hell. Especially day 3. Then I started doing squats three times a week and my DOMS are barely noticable these days. Maybe try doing the movements more often for a few weeks. This really helped me. I can't even describe the pain I was in!!

    I found this too. If I haven't done SLDLs for more than about 5 or 6 days, or certainly if I leave it over a week, my legs and glutes will be in absolute bits for 3-4 days afterwards.

    Don't got to failure on your last set and see what difference it makes, I'd imagine this could be a large part of your problem, as said already- Stretch

    I felt the onset of DOMs in my glutes...

    Kinda happened around the time of the budget!

    I don't mind DOMs too much, makes me feel like I worked hard!

    If I know I will not be training for a few days I will go to failure and/or do heavy negatives, these always give me DOMs, I have come to know how long they will last too, depending on how much I do. I have DOMs right now in my arms, back & hest which will be gone tomorrow.
