Muscle Soreness Explained (IS IT GOOD)

Muscle soreness and delayed onset muscle soreness from working out is one of the most misunderstood and debated elements of training. Are you supposed to be sore after your workouts or is it something that is getting in the way of your muscle growth. In this video, I discuss the most effective way to create muscle soreness in your workouts and more importantly help you to determine whether this is something you should be chasing in order to grow. We start with the concept of muscle soreness itself. Generally, this is something you should feel within the belly of the muscle and not necessarily only at the tendinous attachments of the muscle across a joint or joints. When your tendons are sore and achy and the muscles themselves are not, this is a pretty good indication that you did not necessarily do a good thing for your body with your training. You may have inflamed the joint rather than positively stimulated the muscle. That said, assuming you have properly targeted the muscle you have to understand what you did to cause this. Eccentric or negative training is the most effective way to elicit muscle soreness and post workout soreness because of the mechanical damage you are doing to the muscle when you use it. For instance, concentric training is the portion of the rep in which you place tension on a muscle but do so while shortening the muscle. With an absence of elongation of the muscle (combined with the tension) you are omitting a large contributor to muscle soreness and breakdown. In fact, with a complete absence of eccentric load, it is feasible that you could perform a workout on back to back days for the same muscle group because the positive focused workout will not leave you too sore to do the workout on the next day. Understanding this however is a key to maximizing your muscle growth. You cannot just swing the weights around and hope to get enough mechanical stress and damage that would cause your muscles to have to grow back bigger and stronger. You have to slow down your eccentric contraction on every rep if you want to overload the muscles and subject them to a stimulus strong enough to cause reactive muscle growth. That being said, even if you do perform your workout in the proper fashion and are left feeling sore the next day or days, if you do not support your efforts in the gym with a dedication to proper nutrition, supplementation and rest or sleep you will not grow. It-s as simple as that. Rest and recovery are paramount to a natural lifters ability to grow muscles from their workouts. If you are not paying attention to these aspects of your training and day (often accountable to up to 23 hours in a day) you will not see the muscle growth you should be seeing from your workouts. For a complete step by step workout and nutrition plan that puts the science back in strength and helps you to build muscle faster than any other program, be sure to head to and get the ATHLEAN-X Training System. Start training like an athlete and prioritize your recovery as you train like a beast to start seeing your best results ever

I Always had this doubt in my mind, I don't know if it's a myth
I rarely get muscle soreness does that mean those days are the only days I performed well?
Is it good to workout when your sore does that mean you will get extra muscles like the muscle fibres are already weakened and broken down so if I do workout for the same muscle group during sore will I get more muscles because those muscle fibres are weak so if I hit them again they will easily be broken down so will it get give more muscle?
PS sorry for bad english -

If you-re a beginner then not getting sore isnt normal but if you been working out constantly for a while then you wouldn-t get sore unless you try something new you haven-t done before.
That-s also why guys get sore a lot after leg day and girls don-t. Its because girls work their legs all the time but guys don-t. You have to be consistent if you don-t wanna get sore

I was always told by my father old school boxer as you're working out, if it burns -GOOD KEEP GOING TILL U CANT LIFT IT- and eventually I kept getting sore and implemented techniques jeff has taught me more, I love feeling sore I feel like I actually destroyed the muscle and pushed it to its limit not feeling refreshed

When you first start or are coming back from a long layoff you're gonna get it. I would even say the first step in weightlifting is really getting past that initial hard DOMS stage. Really its you signalling your muscle that you intend to be using it, initially your muscle is essentially in disbelief.

Question for anyone. Is it worth it to drink Tart Cherry Juice after for muscle soreness? I know it has lots of sugar but even the sugar free (Stevia) has like 18g sugar. My eating is basically like Jeff-s. So I-m not taking in a lot of sugar as it is so I wonder if that much is worth it or not.

I get muscle soreness everytime after workout, but i hate it when it interfere my full time job. When i worse, it feels like i cannot concentrate on my job, i feel sick. I've been sleep properly, eat properly, and supplements, but it's still coming. I think it's because of my bad genetics?

Hector-
If you continue your usual exercise regimen even when you're sore, you're not giving your muscles enough time to heal. In fact, pushing yourself during a bout of soreness can eventually lead to an overuse injury. Overall, you're at risk of causing harm to your body by not resting.

Hahaha, for the people that say they never get sore, it's probably because they've been doing the same workout, with the same weight, at the same intensity for years, the guys who's workout consists of, flat bench, incline bench, shoulder press, finish with curls.

Did biceps on Fri and my arms are killing me. Anytime I bend my arms, they want to stay that way. I have to slowly stretch them straight and its a real B when I'm trying to sleep especially since there's still some residual pain from Mon chest workout.
