  • Re: DOMS - should it not gradually get better? I have incorporated weight training for 3 months now in an attempt (3X weekly) to get back from an injury. Have focused esp. on posterior chain exercises but honestly cannot remember a day this year when my hamstrings didn't hurt. Noticed more twinges in my calves when pushing on the bike too. Is this just "beginners DOMS" or am I overdoing it?

  • Just to be contentious, I don’t stretch but I always ensure I am warmed up for weights. Do you warm up or is you gym warm?

    Might be worth trying BCAA tablets as they ‘seemed’ to stop any DOMS issues I had. I’ve been taking them on and off for a couple of years and currently have been taking them for a few months - no DOMS issues at all.

  • Yeah always do 5/10 minutes on the Erg before I do any weights. Yeah will order some, have considered BCAA for a while
    Cheers
