why is this?

whenever i train back i wont start feeling the soreness until a few days have passed. for example if i train back monday i will feel no soreness tuesday or wedensday but on thrus, fri and sat i will feel reaaly sore.

this isnt really a problem...i was just wondering why it happens and how come it doesnt happen to any other body parts

That really is weird. My back gets sore late compared than my other muscles but that's only by a few hours (maybe 12). What's to be your concern is that your back gets sore so long after your workout that when it's  time for your next back workout, it's still sore. Actually, come to think of it, I don't even know if that's possible. Maybe your back is being trained by squats later in the week?

Its called DOMS (or sumthing like that), means delayed onset of muscle soreness, i usually get it daya fter training or 2 days after especially. try stretching more after workout, might minimise it a bit.

exactly what is is.... light cardio to warm the body and then stretching helps... i get it badly in my legs and glutes if i don't stretch them out the night of the day i worked out and the next morning

haha its possible, trust me. I train legs two days before back so its not the squats.

im starting to like this.  Since im still a lil sore the next time i train back it really helps me focus on lifting with my back only and squeezing it.

If you are looing to not be so sore as stated above stretch out right after, then again at night before you go to bed and then wear a long sleeve shirt to bed to keep your muscles warm and then stretch in the morning and you will feel great. One of the largest issues I face is that some of the athletes I train are hot when it's 30 degrees so they don't keep there bodies warm and then there muscles get REALLY sore, which makes them almost incapapble of anything a day or two later. Think of the lactic acid in your muscles as marbles, if you want to work them out of the muscle so you are not sore, you will have a heck of an easier time with a loose flacid muscle than a tight contracted, cold muscle  (this whole post is stating the obvious but I felt like saying it.)

there is another thread which is relevant to this one about the consumption of cherry juice... it's in the nutrition board... apparently it helps reduce DOMS
