I normally work out in my school gym, but its down right now, and so I've taken to working out in my room with some old dumbbells. The other day I bought some heavier weight, and I think I got excited and over did it. I just did a whole body workout, nothing specific, and the next day I could barely walk.
Its now 3 days later and I haven't worked out since because of a lot of pain. Its still quite painful to stretch some muscles.
My question is, is it okay or bad to workout with DOMS, or could it overwork and damage the muscle. I'm starting to feel bad for not working out, and am wondering if I should just suck it up or not???

I never have until a last week + some change when i started a blast your bench program babyslayer reccomended. You end up benching 5 days a week, i did all five consecutively. I was afraid of overtraining at first but my bench has already gone up quite a bit so..
Probably only for short periods of time should you do this to your body. And try to eat a lot.

One thing I've learned is stretching helps you get back in the gym with DOMS or really any soreness; it helps blood flow to the sore area helping recovery... You should be on a schedule to give a specific muscle group 5-6 days recovery (unless your doing a special regimen to shock the muscle like described previously), if your still sore after 5 days thats when you should start considering pushing your work out back... Buy yourself one of those foam stretching rollers, itll definitely help. Just learn how to use it properly if you're ever going to use it for your back.
