Member 1858, 170 posts SQ 285, BP 157.5, DL 302.5745.0 kgs @ 98.9kgs UnEq | Just wondering, I train, then 2 days later I get the DOMs, like at the moment my legs are hurting like crazy. So does this mean my muscles have been damaged and are repairing and If I eat well, sleep well that they will repair stronger or will they just maintain where they were. Basically I’m asking the worst the DOMs the better/stronger the muscles will be, or am I over simplifying things. Also if you plateau do you get less DOMs? | ||

This could include: Adding load to an existing exercise pattern Increasing frequency of an existing exercise pattern Performing an unfamiliar movement Working past MMF etc etc etc | ||

So from what you say am I over loading the weight and should go lighter (I only do 5 x 5, so I can really cut that down, well much)? | ||

No no, overloading is a principle of progression when used correctly. As long as you're maintaining good technique keep adding weight and squatting. After all you're looking to stimulate adaptation. Keep going kidder. | ||

Sounds good to me, just grin and bear the DOMs and keep loading up :-) Cheers me babber | ||
