I don't understand why the title of the video is 'DOMS is overrated when this chart clearly suggests that optimal training often results DOMS for one to three days.
I'm personally a big believer in DOMS. I know everyone's body is different so I obviously can't speak for anyone but myself, but I feel that I've always made the greatest improvements during those periods of training when I feel consistently sore after almost every workout. Just to be clear, I train more for aesthetics than performance. So I may very well overtrain with respect to performance increases. But nonetheless I feel that improvements in performance have most often accompanied improvements in physique.
Started squats back up again and doms is kicking my arse. I've not reduced my daily activity, I'm leg rolling/massage and taking hot baths I did them monday evening (10pm) It's now wednesday evening and there worse than ever, I feel like tomorrow will be much the same.
I don't get sore very often. Mostly only after a rest period for a week or so. But the fist two weeks in the cycle, I usually don't get sore anymore. I mean, if I may increase the volumen for a muscle group every week for, let's say 2 more sets, I found it very unlikely to get sore. This mostly only happens after a exercise switch or like I said, a rest period. So what to do? I'm currently on the man's physique template from RP…
Go on bodybuilding.com, most of the programs there encourage the pursuit of DOMS, the volume prescription is just crazy. But this theory of managing DOMS doesn't match up with reality, there is an old video of Jay Cutler were he talks about how sore he used to get during leg day, he will reach full recovery after 6 or 7 days, practically on the day he is supposed to train legs again. The guy was huge, how do you argue against results like that.
Do you think that switching your workouts up every 12 weeks is important? Would this be beneficial for muscle growth? I suppose that if the muscle is overloaded with exersises that have a different movement path and tension curve every 12 weeks, and focussing on the "new" exercise, this would create a better stimulus? This is something I would assume, but I don't know if I am right. What is your take on this? Is it necessary to switch things up once in a while? I'm always a little bit scared that I might not be getting all of the potential gains out of my workouts, because I'm not switching my workout plan up every 10-14 weeks. Excuse me if I made any language mistakes, I am from Holland!

I train to failure because I am a failure.
Taking a shot every Omar says “Caveat”…

If I train a muscle only once a week, I'll always have level 4 DOMS.

Mike grew from steroids. He need not get sore.

All sorness are not created equally
When training a muscle low vol but eg daily I’ll come
To accept the life with Dom’s
Everything is usually 2-3 for me, mostly 3. Legs however always 4
Need some help rascals

Reduce weight or volume??

some people need motivation to get into the gym, others like myself need motivation to stay out of the gym. the struggle is real.
I created my whole training scheme around the idea of this..
I only workout Monday and Friday
Full body
Gradually increasing reps and weight every month
And just before I deload, I overreach at the end of the month by adding Wednesday into my workout…along with more weight and reps
That way I have 2-3 days in-between each workout
Until my overreaching
