Aching after training..... - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

How long is it before your aching stops completely from when you have finished training???

Sometimes I will ache for 3-4 days, sometimes quite badly when I find it a struggle to put my hands in my back pocket! Or my chest will ache a lot when Im laying on my side.

Anyone else find this???

I know you should ache a day or so afterwards but didn't know if I was aching too long and something is not quite right.

I reckon a day or two max of light aches is ok, but when you struggle to dip your hand in your pocket thats too much pain (unless its a good excuse not to be able to buy the next round.......note to self..

).

Its good to feel the muscles have worked a dy or two later but thats all

any suggestions why this is then and ways to prevent it???

stretch out after? warm up properly...if u have done that then grin and bear it!!

i find legs ache for days and days!

Lauren · 22-06-2005, 04:29 PM

ok what sort of warm up routines do you guys do???

I always do a couple of warm set on the exercise Im about to do with light weights.

I try and stretch throughout the day, if I remember........

DB · 22-06-2005, 04:31 PM

i stretch straight after my workout doesnt take long..a couple of mins really.. dont stretch a cold muscle.... so dont do em throughout the day....

i normally do a lil walk/jog on the treadmill for a few mins just to get loose and the blood flowing thena few warm up sets

I was told by my sports massage guy to stretch throughout the day, nothing major, just like rolling shoulders back and forth, stretching your arm across your chest and stretching your arms behind your back. He told me to do this as my traps are like rocks, they are soooo tight its unbelieveable. Can be quite painful at times.

I may try and do a little jog then to begin with, thanks DB.

everyone is different i guess.. i was always told not to strtch a cold muscle..one of those things i guess...

just just get ur heart rate up and get looe and it should be better imo... just hold some nice long stretches at the end of ur workout :lift:

maybe you could be over training, i must admit apart from when i do legs im very slack at warming up etc, but i rarely suffer that badly from any soreness due to training, maybe im not training hard enough, lol

Although on every set i pyrmid up to my heavy working set, of which that set is balls to the wall.

Lauren · 22-06-2005, 04:57 PM

I dont think Im over training tbh.

DB · 22-06-2005, 04:59 PM

i dont ache if i'm overtrained imo... i just feel very lethargic(sp) and lifts go down and have no stamina imo.....

Tuna_boi · 22-06-2005, 06:56 PM

My calves ache for days after training them...Kind of like a permanant tight feeling...

try eating pineapple when u find your muscles really aching, it contain bromelain which is good for dulling muscle aches.
