    What factors can alter DOMS duration?

    Is there anything that can contribute to longer delayed onset muscle soreness apart for the obvious one which would be an increase in workout intensity. But can things like cutting calories, not getting enough sleep, or having a cold effect how long you will have the after pain of a workout?

    Thanks.

    different style of lifting, such as lets say for months you only deadlifts in the sub 5 rep range than your next workout you do 20 rep deadlift sets, you'll be sore as fukkk
    so doing anything significantly different or even just slightly can have a big spike in doms

    I do agree that eccentrics will make DOMS worse and poor nutrition should also lengthening the time


    Are you asking your question because your DOMS is lasting longer than 5 days and/or has not gotten any better? Usually DOMS should be significantly better if not all better by about 5 days postexercise. If its not any better in a week or so, it may not be DOMS.

    Here is a trick that may help. Does the pain hurt when you are not moving the muscle? Typically DOMS only hurts when you are moving or pressing on the muscle. If it hurts even when your not moving the muscle, that means its not DOMS.

    Hope that helps

    Higher, or even lower, intensity
    Shorter rest durations
    Lack of cooldown after lifting
    Poor nutrition
    Otherwise sedentary daily life

    Tons of factors, but a real iffy thing to predict/prevent.

    Well with me it generally seems to go away normally and not last too long, although there has being times where it's still noticable up to 5 days after maybe a heavy chest workout. But i'm more so asking so that i'll be able to tell others. I'm just in on personal training and to be honeest alot of people tend to be a little put up if this lasts too longs even if they know it means they are making progress. So any kind of information pertaining to shortening the DOMS is something i want to take in. I was thinking about the nutrition alright, and i see someone else has mentioned that, and about lack of cooling down. If everything is right from the beginning it could help alleviate the clients a little bit anyway maybe.

    Unfortunately there is no cure for DOMS,many different people have said try this and that,but at the end of the day if the muscles are not accustomed to the new stimulas put on them then you will get it.Quads are especially bad in getting DOMS,the first Squat session for many can lead to a very uncomforatable few post exercise days.However,once your muscles get used to the movement and overload put on them,then the symptoms of DOMS will go,so if you are new to training,or have not trained the muscles for several weeks,then im afraid it will be something you just have to grin and bear.

    It's not just intensity in the session. Volume and frequency have a significant impact, too. In general, the more frequently you train, the less DOMS you'll get. In general, the higher volume you train at, the more DOMS you'll get. Changing exercises/technique (eg going from high bar to low bar back squats, conventional deadlift to sumo, etc) tends to engage different muscle fibres in different ways, causing more DOMS than an exercise/technique you're accustomed to. Going off training for a while, then coming back, will tend to generate more DOMS than an uninterrupted training schedule. Going off training for a long time and then coming back will generate even more DOMS, still, and trying to lift the same weights you did 6 weeks ago if you've spent the entire time off will probably leave you feeling crippled for a week.

    DOMS can't be prevented, i think your buddy will adapt and lessen it after a while especially if you don't alter workouts. I've gone 5 days with leg soreness on occasion, my upper body i generally won't get nearly as sore as my legs.

    I've noticed if i don't get enough sleep after a good workout i won't usually even be sore the next day, if its 2 days before i get some good sleep its usually when i get that when the soreness REALLY kicks in.
