"I'm setting up a thread for general sadness about gym related things. 3 sessions in 3 days. (All six sets if 10 reps with 30seconds for bike, wall sits etc) Day one. Barbell complex with airbike Day two. Swiss ball sit ups, Squats, wall sit, kettle bell swings, plank Day three. Deadlifts, sandbag slams, v-sit, 1km row. I'm meant to be taking stuff up to my attic today... I am walking like John Wayne crossed with Bambi ![]() That's hilarious ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | |||

"Sounds like you may have what’s called DOMS ( Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) it will pass once your body gets used to he new routine honest lol, just take it steady and keep stretching after a few more sessions it will be a thing of the past and you shouldn’t get it again x" It is indeed DOMS I've had my PT 3 years and I go to the gym at least 3 times a week and run 3 times a week. The days I don't get DOMS are the days I know I wasn't working hard enough in my sessions... (Few and far between) | |||

"You maybe need more rest days or to stretch more if you are aching that bad! " Pushed myself very hard after 2 weeks in hospital. I will be fine in the morning. Just needed a moan. If I could be arsed to go for a run I know I'd loosen up... I just have friends staying overnight tonight and I really need to get the crap out of the spare room and into the attic. ![]() | |||

I still get DOMs two years in but it's nowhere near as bad as in the beginning unless I do something totally new or don't work a certain muscle group for more than a couple of weeks. | |||

"No big gym woes here. Lower back has been in spasm for a few days, easing off now, should be back in the gym tomorrow. Coming to the the end of my training cycle, all the hard work is paying off and new strength is starting to show through as total workload decreases. Few weeks left and I'll have some good numbers to build from for next year's competitions." Someone in need of a back rub? ![]() | |||

"I love the gym. I create my own workouts, meal prep etc... Love it. It probably hurts harder when it's someone else shouting at you instead of yourself. ![]() It sounds weird, but I get a real kick out of motivationing people. It’s such a good feeling helping someone push through the barriers to achieve the goal they want or just pushing further than they thought they could ![]() | |||

"Basically... Come here to moan about it hurting cause I'm swearing with every bloody step. " Make sure you warm up properly then stretch before your workout, then stretch again before you finish. That will reduce the Doms! | |||

If your muscles are sore and the onset was delayed, it's DOMS. | |||

"Can I moan about the fact that I’ve lost my gym mojo and struggling to get myself there of late? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s mostly confidence versus pain threshold. The tissue that grew back was super sensitive so simply touching anything with it was a mission. Over time it’s got a lot more durable and the pain disappeared. Ironically a lot of it has no feeling at all where I severed the nerves which is a head fuck in itself!! | |||
