My DOMS are lasting a long time

[DrSane]

If my DOMS are lasting a long time, and I'm hitting a calorie surplus, does that mean I should fit more protein into my diet?

And by a long time, I mean 3-4 days. Or is that normal?

Bump?

yeh eat a lot more, and youll find the soreness will become less the longer u weight train. best thing to do is to eat **** loadsa bananas, not sure but i think its potassium they contain which helps repair

being sore for 3-4 days is completely normal

Lower your intensity for a couple weeks, and gradually step it up. That is the best way not to get severely sore, and be able to workout again the next day, or whatever your split looks like.... Make sure your diet is looking good also. Do some searching around to make sure everything you have set into place is good.

I killed my legs during my 2nd squat session. For two days after I could barely walk and two more days it was still very noticeable. The next time 2 weeks later I put the same intensity in and barely felt a thing.

Static streching after working out helps with soreness, or so I've heard.

Stop being a pussy, 3-4 days is normal, no pain no gain

It's all good, soreness for extra time is fine.

Also to the gentleman who said don't ever workout while you are sore, it shouldn't really matter if you have given the muscle a minimum of 72 hours of rest. Working out while sore will cause the body to adapt and make DOMS a lot quicker than normal and so cuts down soreness time. This is called the repeated bout effect.

To the person who gave me negative rep on that post, you're a dumbass. Nowhere in my post was I ever complaining. My question was only "do I need more protein?".

Same goes to Sam666. What the hell. Learn to read.

To everyone else, thanks for the great and informative replies! I'd give you rep points, but these dumbasses put me in the red zone, so I can't.
