    Unhappy DOMS question

    So, first day back to the gym yesterday after enforced break for over a month for work and new baby reasons. Some embarrassingly light mid rep squats and deadlifts.
    Anyway, a day later, my question is this...

    Can you actually die of DOMS?

    It's not likely, but possible if your not able to get off of the toilet and succumb to starvation, may need a spotter for that. There's some new to me information just a few threads below about plugging (I don't have time to explain, butt it involves new effective ways of admistering supplements). I'm thinking perhaps a whey suppository could help your recovery. Get those protons in right by those sore legs and back.

    Grats on new baby BTW

    DOMS are just the welcome back reminder. But they go away after you think you might die.

    Drink lots of water. DOMS will not kill you. They can make you wish you were dead. Back in my power lifting days, I put a handicap grab bar on the wall next to the toilet so I could pull myself up when my legs would not cooperate.

    lack of sleep is probably not helping DOMS

    Doms = muscles crying
    Baby crying = gas/hunger/pain
    So eat some beans train harder and embrace the pain. Than lay down and cry with the baby!
    Jk.. congrats on the new addition! Be proud and keep your head up!!
