Post subject: no pain, no gain?
Archived from groups: misc>fitness>weights (more info?)

I've been reading the threads concerning soreness and there are mixed
opinion--after all, this is a public newsgroup Smile
My questions is, I'm still sore after 72 hours of an intense workout of
squats and deadlifts. I go to failure because I love doing legs! Can
this be normal, I've been lifting for about 3 years straight. No doubt,
there has been significant gains in muscle mass and I'm able to go
heavier everyweek. But I'm SORE, man! So sore that it hurts to sit on a
toilet seat. Pains goes away on the fourth day, and the soreness
doesn't affect my sleeping. I drink lots of water, take glutamine
everyday. Can a experienced PT offer input please?

Can you offer your opinion on "wasting your money on glutamine"? I'm
anxious and curious on what will turn up in this thread.

I am curious how do you go failure on squat? Do do you unload the barbell?

First off, stop wasting money on the glutamine.

Second, DOMs won't really go away over time as long as you consistently
challenge your muscles, which it sounds like you are.

As long as it's just muscle soreness, it's normal. Diet and vitamin C
can help a bit.

Otherwise, that's life after squats, really.

It's been done a million times (the discussion, at least).

If you feel you're getting results from it, go for it.

I've tried it several times for long durations with no results, so it's
my opinion it didn't help me. I get plenty from other sources,
including the whey isolate I use.

Don't want to start an argument about it, as every has his own opinion
on it, as with anything else in exercise routines and diets.

Going to failure on squats for me means, barely finishing a rep in GOOD
FORM. I see many people go to failure but they are doing it at the risk
of getting an injury such as jeopardizing good form to get that last
rep. When I go heavy on squats, I use the smith machine because it
gives me that sense of confidence because should I not finish the rep,
I can hang the barbell full of weights on one of those stoppers on the
side of the machine.

DOMS.

Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness. May appear 2 - 3 days after
a work out - especially if the routine was substantially
changed, so muscles are being worked in ways that they aren't
used to.

Now, if only you were actually doing squats, rather than smithmachinesquats,
this might be relevant.

Try eating more protein and complex carbs.

My guess is that the pain you feel is from the smith machine ripping your
body apart when you start going heavy. try some free squats in a power rack
instead and you'll probably feel a lot better afterwards.
I never experience any DOMS unless I've taken a week or more off from
lifting.

But then again I'm not a PT so you probably won't listen to this.
