Hi, All:

This morning I posted about the steak and noted that I wasn't feeling
sore after my workouts no more...well, it's now the afternoon, and

I'm

suddenly sore from yesterday's workout!!

I thought the soreness kicks in right away, not a day later or
something?? Is the lack of soreness a sign of "plateauing," or what?
I work out regularly and haven't been sore in some time now.

DOMS

Delayed
Onset
Muscle
Soreness

Would you like to guess why it's called that?

The subject has been discussed very extensively in this newsgroup. A
Google Groups search of "doms" and "group:misc.fitness.weights" will
tell you more than you ever wanted to know.

Thanks a lot!!

How old are you?
I've found the delay increases with age.
Its now peaks at 48 hours in my sixth decade.

There is no obvious correlation between soreness and progress. Some
people never get very sore (especially once used to a particular
routine) and yet make good gains. Chart your progress by something
more objective than soreness - putting weight on the bar over time,
body measurements going the right way (smaller or bigger, depending)
for example.

Amen!!

I'm 33...never thought of age as a factor! But hey, why not -- life
after 29 is a whole new world to me. All kinds of weird issues...I've
got hairy knees now, for one thing!

Hey, WTH, how come I can't see Ellis' post in dejanews/googlegroups,
except as a quote by Jay??

As I understand it, 48 hours is around the common amount of time for
DOMS to peak, regardless of age.
